Sometimes luck is a very mysterious thing. Some people spend their entire lives without any luck.
And some people have always been very lucky.
There is another kind of person who doesn't need to talk about it, but just talks about it, and luck will come.
Song Qiu fell into this category. She was thinking about how to send the Xiong brothers to the capital safely and secretly. The next morning, a group of people passed by the inn.
When you see Song Ji's cloth banner from a distance, you will naturally stop. At this point, if you don't want to eat, you can also drink tea and rest.
The group of people entered the tea shed and sat down, talking noisily. Song Qiu, who was busy in the kitchen, took a moment to take a look. When he saw this group of people, he immediately put down what he was doing, wiped his hands, and hurried to the tea shed.
"Brother Hou San!"
The bearded Hou Liang turned around and saw Song Qiu. He was also very happy, "Oh, Mr. Song's family! Long time no see! I was just talking about drinking this cup of hot tea and going in to talk to you. We had lunch at Dajiang Inn yesterday.
, Shopkeeper Tao told me, you are here!"
"Oh, after only a few months apart, the Song Dong family has moved really fast! Two inns are being built in Zhang Town, and two have already opened here! It's really amazing!"
Song Qiu pursed his lips and smiled. When talking to acquaintances, he didn't need to be so roundabout. "All of this is dependent on Brother Hou San, you old acquaintances, right?"
Hou Liang waved his hand, "It's easy to talk about! We run out all year round, where can we go to get a tip without hitting? As long as we bump into each other, we must enter Song Ji's inn! No problem!"
Song Qiu nodded and said that Song Ji would always open the door to welcome old acquaintances!
Then he asked: "Brother Hou San, did you go south? The weather is so cold, are you going home or going somewhere else?"
"We travel all over the country and have no rest all year round. We also want to take advantage of this winter and the New Year to earn a lot of money and go home to celebrate the New Year!" Hou Liang said: "No, we have imported a lot of good silk from the south.
Brocade, get ready to go to the capital!"
When Song Qiu heard that they were going to the capital, his eyes immediately lit up.
Then he saw that Brother Hou San and his party were all tall and bearded, and he raised his eyebrows even more.
It's true that someone will give you pillows when you feel sleepy. She feels that there is no one more suitable than Hou San and his entourage. This unified image of a tall man, a horse and a big beard is simply tailor-made for the Xiong brothers!
When the two of them are inserted, it won't look awkward at all, it's completely integrated!
Thinking like this, Song Qiu's eyes brightened, "Brother Hou, it seems that we are not far from the meal point now. Why don't we go to the inn to have a rest, sit for a while, and eat lunch later before leaving? I will serve lunch myself."
Chef, Brother Hou, you haven’t tasted my cooking for a long time, haven’t you?"
This is true.
Hou Liang thought that they had eaten a lot of Song Ji's food, but it was rare that Song Dong's family cooked it themselves.
It's not easy to come across it, and it seems that there is not much time left. At most, I will rush on my way in the afternoon after dinner.
Looking at the situation of Dong Dong's family, Hou Liang traveled all over the country and was very smart. He felt that Dong Dong's family probably wanted to ask him to do something.
Then he followed Shan Ruliu and agreed.
Song Qiu waved directly and asked Tao Dongcheng to open a wing, and invited Hou Sange and others to come into the wing to drink tea and rest.
There is a brazier in the side room, which naturally makes it warmer.
Song Qiu boiled a pot of hot wine himself and brought a large plate of peanuts into the side room.
Hou Liang was a little greedy when he saw that there was hot wine to drink. He hurriedly waved to his brothers to pour wine and said to Song Qiu: "Dong Song's family, your peanuts are more fragrant than other places. They are best with wine!"
Song Qiu smiled and said: "I will pack a big bag later, and Brother Hou San, you can take it with you to eat on the road!"
"That's great!" Hou Liang also laughed, took a sip of wine, and then looked at Song Qiu and said: "Song Dongjia, do you have anything you want me to take home? Or do you have something to take with you?
Just say it, there is no need to be polite in our relationship!"
That was when I first met Hou Liang when I opened the tea shed.
They didn't buy anything to eat at that time, so they ate the cooked noodles by themselves, but the Hou Liang brothers ate a lot of them.
Later, an inn was opened, and Hou Liang and his entourage took care of the business once or twice. When the Crescent Inn opened, Hou Liang and his entourage also came to patronize it.
This relationship, which comes and goes, is indeed somewhat ironclad.
But this matter is dangerous. Although Song Qiu wants to trouble them for help, he must make it clear to see if they want to help. Otherwise, he will feel uncomfortable.
"It's like this. I have two friends who have offended someone and are being hunted! They want to go to the capital. It's a long way. Their goals are too big to hide, so they need to find me.
Come here and let me think of a solution."
"I've been worrying about this for the past two days. Now, I've met Brother Hou San and you guys! It's really fate!"
"I want to insert them into Brother Hou San, you gangster, and successfully sneak into the capital. Of course, this matter may be dangerous. Whether you want to help or not depends on you, Third Brother Hou, to think carefully before making a decision.
"
When Hou Liang heard that this was the case, he nodded and agreed without hesitation, "No problem!"
The most important thing for them to travel around is friendship. Otherwise, how can this group of people stay united?
When you go out, you often encounter gangsters or bandits. They are not bad guys. They are all capable of fighting. What danger are you afraid of?
Speaking of danger, it is also dangerous for them to travel north and south!
Not bad at all!
The reason why Hou Liang agreed without hesitation was entirely for Song Qiu's sake.
Although Song Qiu is a little girl, not much older than his daughter, this girl can do things! He admires her in his heart and is happy to make her a friend!
In addition, he believed that Song Ji's inns would one day open in all states and prefectures. People like them had no way of predicting when they would definitely trouble Song Qiu.
This kind of favor naturally comes and goes.
Therefore, even though he knew he had to entrust two people who were being hunted, he still agreed.
Seeing that Brother Hou was so generous, Song Qiu would not hide it from him, and directly told her friend that it was King Yan who offended him. Of course, she did not elaborate on why she offended him.
When he heard that it was King Yan who was chasing the two men, Hou Liang hesitated a little.
As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials, and merchants like them do not dare to offend the officials. Even if the soldiers guarding the city are in trouble, they would rather draw some blood than force it, otherwise,
If someone remembers it, just detain their goods and it will be enough for them to drink a pot.
They can't afford to offend the official, and they can't even afford to offend the prince!
What if they are offended, and with just a word, all the city gates will confiscate their goods and prevent them from doing business?
Although being a businessman is hard and dangerous, the rewards are also extremely great. But if they lose this job, they will have no choice but to go home and farm.
Song Qiu saw the dilemma of Third Brother Hou, and immediately said: "Why don't we forget it? If I think of another way, I can't really bring danger to you, Third Brother, right?"
