"Everyone Hua, it just so happens that we have a free carriage prepared for this trip. Why don't you three go and take the carriage behind to accompany me?"

In the forest, the guards on the roadside retreated to both sides to make way. Situ Xi looked at Hua Yaoying and winked at her.

"So thank you to the Nine Kings. Chao Yun and Chao Yue, why don't you quickly say thank you to the Nine Kings." After hearing Situ Xi's invitation and receiving the signal released by Situ Xi, Hua Yaoying looked at him and smiled charmingly, and reminded her

The two girls beside him quickly saluted.

"Thank you, Nine Kings!" The two women thanked them in unison.

"You're welcome. You three should get in the car first. We'll talk about it later if you have anything to do."

Waving his hand, Situ Xi motioned for Zhong Limo to go back to the carriage together. Zhong Limin was also holding the curtain in the carriage and looking towards them.

"You three, please come this way."

After Situ Xi and Zhong Limo walked back, Butler Chen immediately came to Hua Yaoying with a smile.

"Sister Hua..."

The girl in the green skirt was named Chaoyue. When she saw Situ Xi walking away, she stared at his back, looked at the bamboo tube in his hand, and then looked at Hua Yaoying with some confusion and cast a questioning look at her.

.

"It's okay, let's get in the car first." Hua Yaoying shook her head slightly at her, then turned to Butler Chen and said with a smile, "Excuse me."

…

"Ms. sir, is that the Hua family just now?"

Back in the carriage, Situ Xi sat down next to Zhongli Min. Zhongli Min obviously heard their conversation just now and asked him about the situation.

"Yes, this is really a coincidence." Situ Xi nodded, holding the bamboo tube in his hand and gently tossing it, feeling something shaking in it.

"Brother-in-law, are they old acquaintances of you? It's true that you have never made an appointment with them in advance." Zhong Limo also asked curiously, and when he heard Situ Xi say what a coincidence, his face showed a true expression.

"The two sisters next to Mr. Hua were very surprised when they heard that you, brother-in-law, invited them to play music. Besides, these three people didn't bring harps."

"You are very observant." Situ Xi looked at him approvingly. Zhong Limo was actually a very delicate child.

"My uncle is really kind-hearted."

Qingyu sent a good person card to Situ Xi. She knew that Situ Xi was not very familiar with this flower, and that the uncle was still a person who was afraid of trouble, but he still chose to reach out when the road was rough.

Helping hand.

The convoy set off again. Situ Xi carefully looked at the bamboo tube in his hand. After opening the lid, he put the bamboo tube to the tip of his nose and smelled it. He immediately smelled a strong smell of gunpowder.

Sure enough, he just discovered some fine powder on the inner wall of the bamboo tube and the lower end of the letter paper, which should be flammable substances such as sulfur and saltpeter. There are also small holes on the lid of the tube, presumably for destroying letters in emergencies.

.

Taking out the letter paper, Situ Xi shook off the dust on it, unfolded it and began to read its contents.

Just by looking at it, Situ Xi immediately froze his eyes.

…

"Sister, now our house has been taken over by the Leng family, what should we do? All the money we have earned these days has been given to that guy, where can we rest tonight?"

On the streets of Xuan'andong City, in front of a needlework stall, Su Hejiu was looking at his sister, frowning.

"I still have some savings. Let's find a slightly remote inn during this period."

Su Heluo stroked her sister's hair, with some apology in her eyes. She and Su Hejiu had earned the money they had earned recently, and when she decided to hand over the money to her third uncle at home, Su Heluo had objections, but still agreed.

Come down.

The two of them are not from Xuan'an, and their family used to live in a remote rural area. Their mother made a living by relying on the ancestral needlework craftsmanship and raised them by herself.

But later their mother became ill due to overwork. Although the two daughters could earn some small money, they were still unable to cover household expenses and medical expenses. Eventually, their mother died of illness, and the two daughters also owed a lot of foreign debt.

During the most difficult period, it was the distant third uncle Su Hori who learned of their situation and extended an olive branch to the two of them, inviting them to work in his tailor shop in Xuan'an.

It is naturally much higher in the countryside.

Thinking that they were relatives, Su Heluo agreed to the matter at that time and signed a contract with Su Hori. Su Heluo naturally followed her sister.

But when the two arrived in Xuan'an, they discovered that the third uncle was a greedy person. He had done some tricks in the contract and sometimes deducted their monthly payment.

Su Hor had business dealings with many noble people, but they had no acquaintances in Xuan'an, so they had no choice but to set up stalls to make money and support their families.

Recently, Su Hor negotiated a big business deal with Lengjia Clothing Company, but in the end he lost all his family property. He lost all his wealth overnight, and his clothing store and house were used to pay off his debts.

This morning, he found the Su sisters again to borrow money for dinner.

Thinking that it was this third uncle who gave the two of them the opportunity to make money in the first place, Su Heluo was still grateful to him, so she gave him all the money she had gained recently, which could be regarded as repaying his past kindness.

"Sister, actually I saw my third uncle drinking wine and listening to music in a restaurant yesterday. We gave him money and he used it to squander it so that after he finished spending it, he would come to us again..."

"Jiu'er, don't worry, I won't care about him anymore from now on."

"That's good." Su Hejiu breathed a sigh of relief. His sister was too soft-hearted and always hated to see others suffer. This was actually not a good thing in many cases.

"Let's help Mr. Situ finish the hair embroidery first. Now it's halfway done, and I've gradually become familiar with the hair knitting skills. It should be completed soon. It would be bad if it exceeds the agreed deadline.

"

No longer discussing these troublesome matters, Su Heluo picked up a long piece of hair and began to thread the needle, preparing to complete the ink embroidery ordered by Situ Xi.

"Hair embroidery... is really good, but if I don't embroider some words on it, I always feel like something is missing." Su Hejiu also cast her eyes on the semi-finished product in front of her, and she thought of Mr. Situ and his wife.

Emotionally harmonious.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a somewhat slovenly face led a noble man in rich clothes to approach their stall from the distance on the street.

Soon, this sloppy man arrived in front of the two women.

When Su Hejiu saw this man, he immediately stood up from his chair warily.

"Luo'er, Jiu'er, you are all here. Come on, let me introduce you. This is Master Leng. I have transferred your two lease documents to him. You quickly pack up and follow Master Leng.

Let’s go to the Leng family’s cloth store.”

The handsome young man behind Su Hori's eyes lit up when he saw the two girls. After raising his eyebrows with satisfaction at Su Hori, he turned towards Su Heluo. He immediately put on a smile that he thought was very graceful.

.

"You two girls, this is the first time we meet. I would like to express my gratitude to you."

The movement of his hand was chaotic, and the needle tip pricked the index finger of Su Heluo's left hand.
