371. Chapter 371 Missionary



Old Madam Gu was happy to hear her fourth daughter-in-law scold these arrogant juniors, so she did not express her opinion and just said something casually.

"I will convey your thoughts. When Jingyi and the children have recovered, we will naturally have a banquet to celebrate. There is no need to rush now."

Having said that, there was no way for them to go any further. They just chatted with Madam Gu for a while and then left.

After they had all left, the fourth aunt looked annoyed.

"The people of Seventh Uncle's lineage are really the most aggressive. I didn't bother with them before because I was too lazy to talk about them. But now even a junior dares to say something in front of my mother-in-law. It's really a joke."

In the past, all the members of the Gu family had died out, leaving only Gu Xiaolang. Fourth Aunt was afraid that they would all be gone in the future, and there wouldn't even be anyone from her family to support Gu Xiaolang, so she seldom offended anyone from the Seventh Branch.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

They could stand it in their own family, so they would naturally not swallow their anger anymore. So when the third wife of the Gu family opened her mouth, she would curse back, as a warning to others.

"When Chun Jie'er got married a few days ago, she fell and got herself covered in dirt, ruining the wedding day. Today, she came to our house again and forced us to look after Shao Yu's wife and children. If you don't know, you would think she is the boss of this mansion! Humph, what a fool!"

Seeing how angry she was, Mrs. Gu had no choice but to comfort her.

"Okay, if you don't have the time to get angry with them, you might as well think of something else, like asking our Brother Tai to talk. That's the serious thing to do."

Hearing his name, Tai Ge also came over with a smile.

Although he couldn't speak, his few "ahhh" sounds still revealed his meaning, as if he was saying, "That's right, please teach me how to speak."

Seeing this, Fourth Aunt's anger subsided a lot. She kissed Tai Ge'er's little face and told him an interesting story.

"Let's not talk about these bad things. Mother-in-law, you should go with me to eat at the Tong family's banquet today. Guess what I saw?"

"What? It can't be some handy weapon, right?"

"The Tong family didn't produce any military commanders, so how could they have weapons that I would like? My mother-in-law, you must be joking. Their family found a blond and blue-eyed foreigner. They said he was a missionary. I didn't quite understand what he said, but the toys he brought were really liked by Brother Tai."

"Preacher? Blonde? From where?"

"You may have to ask your uncle's family about this. The Tong family said that it came back with the Su family's ship."

The Su family's shipping has always been from south to north and from north to south, and the goods they carried were mostly common and familiar items, but they kept several routes further south and even further north a secret. Even when Old Madam Gu was still at home and unmarried, she didn't know much about it, because this secret would only be told to the head of the family.

So, when she heard the news, Mrs. Gu was also very surprised.

Originally, there was a doctor named Xia, and now there is a missionary. How come the Su family's business is getting bigger and bigger? "Let me find a chance to ask my brother. Blond hair and blue eyes, I have never seen one in my life."

After hearing this, the fourth aunt rolled her eyes and said.

"Hehe, daughter-in-law actually has other intentions."

"What?"

"If my uncle brought several people back, could you please invite one to the mansion for everyone to see? I haven't seen them, but the Tong family treats the missionary like a bodhisattva. They are very respectful. They don't ask us to do the same, but just invite them to sit and have a look, so that everyone can have some interesting stories."

Fourth Aunt's words made Old Madam Gu feel a little evasive.

I was originally curious, but now I had the urge to remind her, so I said to the fourth aunt.

"Don't talk nonsense about this matter. Let me go back to the Su family and ask clearly before making any plans. Our Daxing Dynasty has only been established for a few years, and now some strange people have appeared and are worshipped as gods. Be careful that someone will make a fuss about this."

Fourth Aunt had not expected Madam Gu's alertness. She had originally thought it was a good idea, but now she felt it was inappropriate, so she suppressed her smile and spoke.

"My daughter-in-law understands and won't say anything nonsense."

"Who did the Tong family invite today?"

"Not many, from our family, the Xun family, the Li family, the Liu family, and yes, my eldest sister-in-law's family, the Wang family, also went. She sat at the same table with me and entertained Brother Tai for quite a while."

Except for the Gu family and the Wang family represented by Fourth Aunt, the other families are not that powerful. But the more this is the case, the more Madam Gu feels that there seems to be something fishy behind it.

Otherwise, why didn't they invite the Su family who brought the missionary here, and other families like the seventh branch of the Gu family, and also the Liu family who were also from the same wealthy family as him? This made Old Lady Gu even more suspicious.

Thinking that there was nothing to do now, Madam Gu simply got up and went to the Su family to get to the bottom of it!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After leaving Tai Ge'er behind, Fourth Aunt also followed. Her face looked much uglier than when she first entered the mansion.

In Qiwuyuan, Du Jingyi was in confinement after giving birth. She had no idea what was happening outside and poured all her love into her three children.

"Mom, don't you think they look alike? The eldest looks alike to the second, but the third doesn't. He looks more like dad. What do you think?"

"Now that you mention it, I think he does look a bit like the master, especially his nose and chin. An old Taoist once said that your father's nose and chin are both good for making money. It looks like this little third child will also be a man who only makes money and never spends money in the future!"

Mrs. Du's words made Du Jingyi laugh.

Before she could say "hmm", Mrs. Du asked again.

"Why haven't you named the three of them yet? It's really awkward to call them the eldest, the second, and the youngest."

"Originally, I was thinking of picking them when the general came back, but now he has sent back a message saying that His Majesty wants to give names to the three children as well. Isn't this a delay? However, we can think of a nickname to avoid calling them unpleasant names."

"That's right."

"Then I'll ask my grandmother to come over. She always has nice names."

Mrs. Du also liked the meaning of Tai Ge'er, so she didn't object when Du Jingyi said this. But Shuxiu went there and didn't invite Mrs. Gu, but brought the second aunt instead.

As soon as they met, Du Jingyi chuckled and called out.

"Hello, Second Aunt."
