Chapter 146 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land

Chapter 146 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land
Heavy snow blocked the road and carriages could not pass, so it was difficult to meet other people on the road. They had been walking on foot for several days and had only traveled more than 200 miles. It would be a lie to say that they were not tired.

Fortunately, there was a doctor named Jiang Ling, and whenever someone caught a cold, they were cured in time.

There is no need to worry about robbery, because with Xiao Huatian, who is an excellent kung fu master, no one can hurt anyone from the Song family and the Ye family.

There is also Liu Zhongyi, who is particularly smart. He not only resolved the business disputes of the Ye family and preserved the foundation of the Ye family, but also waited for the local natural disasters to pass before he could reopen the business.

There were also traps and difficulties along the way, which were all discovered and solved by the three of them one by one, allowing them to travel along the way as if they were assisted by God.

It is said that these three people are Song Qingwan's servants? Is it possible that the savage and powerful little girl in my memory is so powerful? She can actually subdue such a powerful person.

Everyone became curious about Song Qingwan. Since they couldn't make a name for themselves in their hometown, they decided to go to the capital together to try their luck.

With curiosity and expectation, the two families set off on their journey, or rather, they went on a journey of seeking refuge.

It's just that the journey was too difficult, but the old man rarely showed his worry, for fear of causing panic among the children.

In fact, compared with the thrilling departure from Beijing that year, what are the current difficulties?
They watched helplessly as their huge family was reduced to just him and his old wife. They should have known that this was a painful thing.

The road ahead is full of dangers and obstacles on this trip to Beijing, but the most difficult part is still inside Beijing. The old man grabbed the old lady's hand and warmed it in his sleeves.

Don't be afraid. They are not guilty on the surface, but they have so many children to rely on in private. It is time to settle the old grudges.

The old man said calmly, "Then wait a while, it's a good time for us to take a break." After resting, he rushed to Beijing in one go, um, to join his son~
Unless his son becomes an official of the first or second rank, those old things will be covered up under this old dirt.

The old lady seemed to understand her husband's feelings. This time, she didn't argue with him and stayed by his side very quietly.

But not long after, the heavy snow stopped, so it can be said that although God was going crazy, he was also blessing the Song family.

The family hurried and hurried with great difficulty, and finally entered the city before dark.

This place is a county town two hundred miles away from the capital, but it is surprisingly prosperous, and the people here seem to be very unafraid of the cold.

It was snowing heavily and most people on the street were wearing thin clothes.

Uncle Song sniffed, his eyes full of envy, "The people here are so healthy, could it be that they have been exposed to the cold so many times?" They are too cold-resistant, aren't they?

A tall and thin man passing by heard this and smiled kindly, "Brother, you misunderstood. The reason we are not afraid of the cold is that we are wearing down jackets."

"What down jacket?" It's not fair to bully a country bumpkin from another country. Uncle Song was depressed, and the Song family members were also curious.

“Hahaha, brother, you are from another place, right? You don’t know whether it’s normal to wear a down jacket.

This is something that has been passed down from Beijing in the past two days. It is made of duck feathers and is warmer than silk. Most importantly, it is cheap and ordinary people can afford it.

Who wouldn’t praise the Song family for inventing new products? Go to the clothing store now, maybe you can grab one or two sets.”

After the passerby finished speaking, he bowed and passed by the group of country bumpkins from the Song family.

"What the hell? But the merchant has the same surname as us." Uncle Song scratched his head, which made his heart skip a beat, and finally he smiled foolishly.

Xiao Huatian looked at Jiang Ling, and his expression suddenly became subtle. Fine Factory? The Song family? Could it be the one the girl mentioned? They still hold important positions in the Fine Factory.

Just say, how could their girl be stumped by a mere fifty thousand taels of silver, and the two of them suddenly became excited. It will be soon, and they will know when they return to Beijing. Anyway, they can solve the problems along the way, so they will not bring trouble to the girl, and directly bring the whole family back to give the girl a big surprise!

At this time, Liu Zhongyi, who was looking for an inn, came back and said, "Let's go. The inn has been booked. It's not far ahead."

"Walk, walk, walk. I'm so tired. I almost lost my life." Old Man Song and his wife supported each other and walked forward.

Liu Zhongyi was leading the way. After hearing what was said, he turned around and smiled, "Don't worry, old master. We can take a carriage for the next leg, and it will only take two days to reach the capital."

"What? Isn't the road blocked by heavy snow? And we don't have any money." Can they afford a carriage?

"Well, we are lucky. We ran into the escorts from the Red Escort Agency who were doing business here. They have a history with the girl, so I shamelessly came to ask for help.

The Red Escort Agency has agreed to reserve four carriages to take us all the way to the capital, and they will be back tomorrow morning.

The escort agency will lead the way, and there are naturally ways to melt the snow, so don't worry, old man."

Xiao Huatian and Jiang Ling looked at each other again. The Red Escort Agency was so warm and polite, it couldn't be, "Could it be?" Jiang Ling didn't ask on the spot because she was afraid of bringing trouble to the girl.

You know, in fact, there are some people in their group who are not sociable. Besides, they don't know the depth of the relationship between the girl and her family members, so it is not easy to reveal more things.

Liu Zhongyi knew what Jiang Ling was referring to at a glance, so he nodded at her.

The only businesses that the Red Escort Agency is still doing at the end of the year are down jackets and coal, and these two things happen to be the businesses of their girls.

Now, the three servants were extremely excited, but the Song family and the Ye family were puzzled.

But since the other party didn't say anything, they didn't feel comfortable asking. The three men were very capable, and they were just Song Qingwan's servants. They just respected other members of the Song family, but would not obey orders.

The Song family and their group stayed in the inn owned by the Red Escort Agency. Because the Red Escort Agency had arranged everything for them, they had a house to live in, hot water to use, and hot meals to eat. They finally enjoyed the treatment that human beings should have.

Of course, the adopted son of the Ye family also had the surname Ye and his name was Xiaoxing. He was a few years older than Song Niang, almost forty years old, and had a wife, a son and a daughter who were about ten years old.

This proves that, in fact, not long after Song Niang got married, he remarried and had children, but he still deceived the Ye family into severing their parent-child relationship.

Ye Xiaoxing knew that he had committed a serious sin, so the closer he got to the capital, the more uneasy he felt.

He felt extremely uncomfortable in the happy moment of the Song family, so he quickly ran out to get some fresh air.

"Huh? Could this be Brother Xiaoxing?" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from deep in the corridor.

Ye Xiaoxing turned around in shock. He didn't expect that in such a distant foreign land, there would be someone who knew him?
When he looked up, he was completely stunned. This... "It's you?"

The man in front of him was dressed in precious and decent clothes. He looked like a successful person and seemed to be in high spirits.

Unlike him, he was as miserable as a drowned dog. In comparison, Ye Xiaoxing immediately lowered his head in inferiority.

"Haha, it seems you are really Brother Xiaoxing. Why are you here? What a coincidence. We brothers haven't seen each other for many years. Why don't we have a drink and chat?"

If this person is not Fang Zhengfang, the boss of Qingtong Money House, then who could it be?
