When Lin Shuyan heard such straightforward praise from the yamen runners, he felt a little shy and touched his head awkwardly.

"Three young men, sorry for the long wait."

Qin Song came out from the back hall and said with a smile.

Lin Shuyue and the other two turned around and saw that he had changed into a gray-white robe.

He had a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and when he smiled it seemed as if there were stars in his eyes.

"Sir, if everything is fine, we will go back first. Our family is still waiting for us outside the city." Lin Shuyue bowed.

Hearing this, Qin Song took a step forward, and a faint smell of medicine wafted from his body.

He said sincerely, "I will hold a banquet at Jiqing Tower at noon tomorrow. Would you three benefactors and your mother be willing to come and enjoy the feast?"

The three Lin Shuyue siblings looked at each other and nodded, "You are too polite, sir. We will be there on time tomorrow at noon."

......

Outside the county government office, Zhang Wen was sleeping soundly against the wall.

Lin Shuyan tiptoed forward and patted him on the shoulder, instantly waking him up.

"Hey, young man, can you please stop scaring me?"

Zhang Wen wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said pitifully.

"Okay, second brother, stop bullying him. It's time to go back." Lin Shuyue shouted in front.

"Coming..." Lin Shuyan hurriedly followed.

"Is the matter done? Has Lord Qin been rescued?" Zhang Wen asked, following him happily.

Lin Shuyan glanced at him and said, "Yeah, it's done, we've rescued them, it's time for you to leave, why are you following us?"

Zhang Wen paused and said awkwardly, "I didn't react at the moment, young man, please take care."

"See you later..."

Lin Shuyan didn't even turn his head, but kept walking and waved his hand backwards.

.........

"Who?"

When Lin An heard the sound outside the courtyard gate, he immediately picked up the knife and asked vigilantly.

"Dad, it's us."

Lin Shuyuan responded in a low voice.

Lin An heard the children's voices and quickly opened the gate.

“Come in…”

"How is it? Did everything go well? Are you not hurt?" Lin An looked at the three children nervously.

“Dad, things went smoothly, Prince Liang’s men died, and Lord Qin was rescued.

He will treat our family to a meal tomorrow at noon!" Lin Shuyan said happily, smiling.

"It's good that you are alright, let's eat..."

Lin An was a little hesitant. He didn't like dealing with these young masters from aristocratic families. They were so pretentious and made him feel uncomfortable.

Lin Shuyue patted his shoulder and comforted him: "

Dad, it's okay, we are here, if you don't want to talk, just lower your head and eat."

Lin An nodded and told the three children to go to sleep.

The next day, Lin Shuyue rode in front on horseback, leading a group of people leisurely towards the county town.

As soon as I arrived at the city gate, I heard an enthusiastic voice coming from the city wall: "Young man, good morning, Xiaodongzi, open the city gate quickly and let the young man and the others in."

Lin Shuyan responded loudly: "Brother Zhao, thank you!"

Lin An and others looked at it in surprise.

You know, the yamen runners they had seen before all had stern faces and looked superior.

Everyone immediately developed a liking for Qin Song, whom they had never met before.

After entering the city, Lin Shuyue looked at the county town that had regained its bustle.

Afterwards they found an inn to stay in, washed up quickly, changed into clean clothes and headed to Jiqing Tower.

Only Lin An's family went to dinner. Lin Gang's family and Erlangzi refused to go, saying that they would be scared to see a high-ranking official.

When the family arrived at the entrance of Jiqing Building, they saw Ah Feng, who had been waiting there, coming to greet them with a smile and bowing: "Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin is doing well!"

Then he shouted enthusiastically to the three siblings behind the couple, "Young man, my young master is waiting upstairs."

Lin An and Li felt a little embarrassed when he called them Master and Madam.

Lin Shuyue noticed that her mother was feeling uncomfortable, so she stepped forward, took her hand, and asked Afeng to lead the way.

Li felt warm in her heart and followed her daughter upstairs.

"Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, three young men, please take a seat!"

Qin Song in the box greeted Lin An and the others warmly as soon as he saw them.

Lin An took a quick look at the handsome man in his twenties. He felt a little reserved and sat in his seat, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After everyone was seated, Qin Song picked up a cup of tea, stood up and said solemnly:

“I should have toasted you all with a glass of good wine, but unfortunately Qin is not feeling well, so I can only toast you with tea instead of wine. I hope you can forgive me.

Qin would like to thank the benefactor for saving his life. "

After saying that, he drank the cup of tea in one gulp.

Lin An, his wife and children hurriedly stood up, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, imitating him.

"Ahem... this wine is too spicy..."

Lin Shuyuan and Lin Shuyan's grinning faces made everyone laugh.

Qin Song looked at his savior who seemed a little childish at this moment and laughed softly.

Just then, the waiter knocked on the door and came in to serve the food.

Just as Ah Feng was about to step forward to serve, he was stopped by Qin Song's look. He quietly left the box and closed the door.

"Come on, eat the food, Uncle Lin, Auntie, and the three young men. This auspicious dish tastes very good. Come and try it."

Qin Song saw that they were a little reserved and greeted them hurriedly.

Lin An waved his hands and said, "You can just call my three children by their names, but they are not good enough to be called young heroes."

Lin Shuyue and the other two nodded quickly, calling him "young hero" one by one, which felt weird.

Qin Song chuckled: "Okay, then I will call you Ayuan, Ayan, Ayue, and you can call me Brother Qin.

Uncle Lin, Auntie, my name is Huaizhi, you can just call me Huaizhi. "

"Brother Qin!" the three siblings shouted in unison.

Lin An and his wife seemed to be hesitant to talk.

After eating and drinking, Qin Song asked about their future plans.

Lin An glanced at Lin Shuyue and said, "We plan to go to Wuzhou and settle down there, but we don't know if they will accept refugees."

Qin Song sat up straight and asked in surprise, "Uncle Lin, are you and your family refugees?"

Lin An hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then went on to talk about the drought in Anqing Prefecture and the riots of refugees.

They gave a brief account of their experiences fleeing famine from their hometown all the way here.

After Qin Song heard this, he secretly praised him in his heart.

Uncle Lin and his family were able to escape here safely and in good order from such a faraway place, which shows that they are quite capable.

Moreover, even though he is in such a difficult situation, he is still able to help others when he sees injustice. He is truly a kind and righteous person.

"You are from Yufeng County, what a coincidence.

My second elder brother was the magistrate of Yufeng County and was transferred back to the capital last year." Qin Song said in surprise.

Lin An and Lin Shuyue looked at each other in surprise: "Is your brother Lord Qin Zhaoqin?"

"That's right, Uncle Lin knows my second brother?" Qin Song asked.

Lin An then talked about how he had sent Li Long and three other bandits to the county government office.

Lin Shuyue sipped the tea. This tea was a scented tea specially ordered by Qin Song, and it tasted very good.

She looked at her father and Qin Song who were having a pleasant conversation, and couldn't help but sigh that Brother Qin was really good at talking.

After a long while, the two of them got up and prepared to go back, still reluctant to leave.

"Uncle Lin, Auntie, since you have decided to go to Wuzhou, Huaizhi wishes you a safe journey!"

At the entrance of the restaurant, Qin Song bowed and his eyes swept over Lin Shuyue who was talking to Lin Shuyan with a smile.

"Thank you, Huaizhi." Lin An nodded in response.

Then he watched Qin Song get on the carriage and sway away.

"Huaizhi is really a promising young man." Lin An sighed.

Then he took his wife and children and slowly walked towards the inn.
