Song Qiu knew Aling's appetite, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay! Sit down for a while, I'll be ready soon!"
On the eve of the opening of Crescent Inn, she bought a lot of beans from the Liu and Jiang families and made a kimchi jar.
Later, when the chili peppers turn red, I will ask Zhong to separate out another one. Two kimchi jars will be enough for this place.
It's been ten days since I woke up, and I'm feeling better now.
Song Qiu lifted the lid of the altar, and the smell of hydrochloric acid hit his nostrils. He grabbed a lot of pickled beans, cut them into small pieces, and fried shredded pork.
The sour, crispy and spicy texture doesn't taste too good when paired with a bowl of white water.
Ah Ling ate from a large pottery basin. After eating, she felt very comfortable. Then she washed herself and went to sleep.
I didn't sleep for long and got up before noon.
If A Ling comes back quickly, the one who has received the letter will also come quickly.
Just after noon, some twentysomethings arrived on horseback.
All the guests in this inn had eaten and left. There were only a few guests in the tea shed, but it didn't bother them.
The leaders were two handsome young men. The older one went upstairs and saw Mrs. Gao and said angrily: "Mother! My son is late, are you okay?"
The other obediently cupped his hands behind him and said, "Cousin."
One of them is the son of Mr. Gao, and the other is the son of Magistrate Gao.
When Mrs. Gao saw her second son coming, she couldn't help being surprised, "Why are you here?"
Yunshan County is still some distance away from Pingjiang Fucheng. Her cousin couldn't have received her letter and delivered it so quickly.
Xue Erlang said: "Five days ago, the young monk from Xijing Temple came to report to the official. Only then did my father and us find out that my mother had been kidnapped and everyone who had been taken away was killed. So we immediately ordered the whole city to be under martial law and sent people to search for her.
The whereabouts of my mother,”
"My eldest brother and I couldn't sit still, so we separated and chased him out of the city. When my eldest brother went north, I chased him all the way to Qingping Mansion. I just arrived at Uncle Wutang's place at dusk yesterday, and happened to meet Uncle Wutang who was about to go to his father's house.
After receiving the letter, I learned about my mother’s whereabouts, and my cousin and I immediately set off and rushed over.”
"Mother, what happened? Who kidnapped you?"
Listening to this, Mr. Gao was also glad that he met Miss Song, was rescued, and sent the letter. Otherwise, if it were like this, if Dalang went north to pursue him and Erlang decided to go south, he would have just missed Suzhou.
?
By the time she thought of chasing west after taking the wrong path, she would have already entered the Western Regions.
Thinking like this, Gao felt even more grateful to Song Qiu and Aling.
Mrs. Gao didn't want to talk too much about the grievances of the previous generation with her son, so she just asked: "Besides the guard servants I took out, are there any innocent people who were injured?"
Xue Erlang shook his head, "According to the monk, the courtyard where my mother lived that night was quiet. When they heard the noise and rushed there, the guards were all killed and my mother had been kidnapped."
"If these damn thieves fall into my son's hands, he will tear them into pieces!"
Listening to this, Mrs. Gao breathed a sigh of relief. No innocent people were killed or injured. It's okay to say this.
Jin Shao was the lord of the Wu Tiao tribe and was not from Dali. Even though her husband was the governor of a state, he had no right to punish him.
What's more, he only killed indentured servants, not good people.
So there is no point in taking him back to question him.
But letting it go like this might cause trouble for Miss Song and the others.
And the guards and servants who were killed to protect her could not die in vain.
The Gao family was also afraid that Jin Shao was still determined to be a traitor and would come back again.
This person cannot be kept!
Gao's eyes were slightly stern, but he was determined to do so.
In short, the people of the Wu Tiao tribe will not know what Jin Shao brought people to the Central Plains for. They will eradicate the roots and leave no one behind, so they will not be afraid of being found out.
After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Gao immediately ordered her son, "The thieves who captured me are all gangsters and deserve to die. Letting them go is like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. You take them away with someone, deal with them at a distance, and then come back."
"Remember, keep your hands and feet clean so that no one can find your traces."
When Xue Erlang heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "The thief is still here? Didn't he run away? Don't worry, mother, my son will go right away! If they dare to kidnap my mother, my son will not let them go!"
Gao's son came and took over the people who had been locked up in the backyard for two days.
Song Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and felt relaxed all over.
In the past two days, she had been worried all the time. On the one hand, she was worried that those people would break free from the rope and run out. On the other hand, she was worried that if a guest came to stay and discovered that the people in the backyard thought she was a black shop, she would not say anything.
Cleared.
As for where Xue Erlang took the people, she didn't ask much.
But Xue Erlang came back that night, but those people were missing.
Young Master Song Qiu couldn't help but be curious, and was afraid that Jin Shao would come back and cause trouble for her, the person who had ruined his affairs, so she couldn't help but ask Gao.
Mrs. Gao just smiled and told her not to worry, as he would not cause any trouble for her.
Song Qiu felt relieved after hearing this.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Gao was about to leave. Song Qiu and Aling saw her on the carriage.
Xue Erlang knew that it was thanks to Song Qiu and Aling that he saved his mother, and he was very grateful. Knowing that Song Qiu opened an inn, he directly gave Song Qiu a stack of silver notes. Knowing that Aling was practicing martial arts, he took out an exquisite
The dagger should be given to Aling.
Song Qiu asked Aling to take the dagger, but he didn't ask for the wad of silver notes.
The banknotes were all in face value of one hundred taels. Such a stack amounted to at least a thousand taels.
Song Qiu secretly murmured that Xue Erlang was really rich, while shaking his head, "My wife and I are destined to meet each other. How can this affection be measured by money? My sister really likes this dagger, so we accepted it. As for the banknotes,
, Brother Xue, it’s better to take it back.”
Xue Erlang was puzzled and sent the banknote forward, "I really want to thank you, girl. I don't want to use the banknote to buy out this life-saving grace. I just gave it a thank you gift. What will happen in the future?"
If Miss Song needs our help, we will definitely help her! Take it quickly!"
Song Qiu shook his head, "It's really not necessary."
"Take it!"
If Xue Erlang refused, Song Qiu would have to accept it.
The two were in a stalemate for a while.
Song Qiu: I really thank you.
Mrs. Gao on the carriage intervened at the right time, "My son is a real-hearted and stubborn person. He only thinks about the girl who saved me, so he feels happy only when he thanks Miss Song. Miss Song
Don’t be familiar with him.”
Song Qiu shook his head and smiled, "What the hell, Xue Erlang is really a sweetheart!"
Mrs. Gao smiled and said: "Miss Song saved my master and servant. This kind of kindness cannot be thanked with just a gift. I will definitely help you pay attention to what I promised you. Just wait for my letter."
Song Qiu's smile became a little more happy as he listened, "Okay, that's a big problem, madam."
"Where is the trouble? Didn't we agree? I want to make a friend like you, so don't be polite to me." Gao said: "If there is trouble, remember to send me a letter. I, the second child,
If he doesn’t like reading, he just likes to run around with swords and guns. When the time comes, he will be there when called.”
Xue Erlang, who was still a little regretful that the banknote was not sent out, looked at Song Qiu and said, "You really don't want it?"
After saying that, he thought to himself: "Okay, if you have any trouble, just come to me, I'll be here when you call!"
