Su Quanang originally thought that this matter was nothing, but after being scolded by Old Madam Gu, he felt that this matter was a bit serious, so he asked in a cold sweat.
"Sister, what should I do now? I can't just rush to the Tong family to ask for someone and send them back! Not to mention that the Tong family is not happy about it, even if I send them back, I can't do it now. I have to wait until after September, when everything goes smoothly before I can go."
Speaking of which, Master Su was also very innocent. He had no intention of bringing anyone back on his original trip to the south. He only found someone hiding in a box and got on the boat halfway through the journey. He was a strange-looking person, so he originally thought of just throwing the person into the sea. However, the Su family had been engaged in maritime transportation for so many years, and there had never been any talk of sacrificing people to the Dragon King, so the missionary luckily escaped with his life.
After he got ashore, the Su family no longer cared about him. Who would have thought that he would be taken in by the Tong family by accident? So they took him in, but why should they treat him like a god?
This was something Su Quanang had really not expected.
If his elder sister hadn't come to him, he wouldn't have known about this.
After hearing this, Madam Gu was at a loss for a moment. Just as her brother said, she couldn't go to the Tong family to snatch someone away, wouldn't that make the matter a big deal?
Instead, it was Aunt Four who spoke up after seeing that the two of them were in a stalemate.
"We are only holding down the Tong family. There are also the families attending the banquet today. I think they are all very curious. If they go back and spread the news, I am afraid that even if we take the people back and send them away, it will be useless."
"So what do you mean?"
"It is better to disperse than to block. Isn't the reason why this person is special because he was born different from us? If my uncle can find a way to get all kinds of foreign vassal people back, wouldn't it be no longer special if there were more of them? If your majesty investigates, you can say that these foreign vassal people came here because of your reputation, and organize a meeting of a hundred countries. I'm sure that whatever the people behind this are thinking will be disrupted by our move."
After hearing her suggestion, Mrs. Gu and Su Quanang looked at each other and agreed that it was a good idea.
Fortunately, the Su family has been engaged in shipping for many years, so there are some ways that outsiders naturally don’t know.
"Give me three months, and I will definitely make sure that there are more faces in Jinling City that you haven't seen before."
Old Madam Gu believed it without a doubt. After all, she knew her brother's abilities. So after explaining the matter clearly, she took her fourth daughter-in-law back.
She was very tired after this trip, and she didn't know if it was because of her age, but she always felt very tired in recent days. She used to sleep lightly, but now she doesn't get enough sleep. If possible, she even wants to lie down all day, as if she feels more comfortable.
This has never happened before, so Mrs. Gu sighed and said.
"Go back and rest first. You must be tired after this trip."
"Yes, mother-in-law."
When Fourth Aunt left Qiudeyuan, she was also feeling a little upset. She had wanted to talk to Du Jingyi about it, but she was in confinement after childbirth and couldn't be upset by these things, so she went back.
Unexpectedly, she met her aunt on the way. It was like she had met someone she could talk to, so she took her back to her yard and told her the whole story from beginning to end.
My aunt also sounded very angry.
"What does the Tong family mean by this? Are they trying to use my Gu family and Wang family as a shield for them? Small merchants have such complicated minds. Do they really think we will fall for this and cover up for them?"
"The Tong family may not want us to cover up for them. Maybe they still want us to come forward and give them an excuse to talk about it. But they must have this intention in getting us to stand on their side."
"Humph, you're trying to drag our three families into this together, what good will that bring? I'll have someone send a message back and let my brother and sister-in-law at home pay attention."
"No, sister-in-law, you should take your time. Let's wait for mother-in-law and uncle to reach an agreement before discussing this matter. It's really troublesome for me to go to this banquet. I should not have gone out earlier. Alas."
"It is said that there are thieves who can be thieves for a thousand years, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand years. If you had known this earlier, why would you have taken this trip? Don't think too much, just wait and see."
The two of them were worried here, but Gu Xiaochun and Su Erlang in the next room were very happy. Now they were the ones with the most hope in the yard, and they were looking forward to the birth of their child.
"I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. I think my eldest brother and his wife are more fortunate to have a son."
"Both boys and girls are the same, they are all our children, but there is a reason why my eldest sister-in-law gave birth to sons one after another. The Gu family is more fortunate with sons. There are nine sons in the same generation as my eldest brother, and only one daughter, my third sister. Now there are four sons in the younger generation, and I don't know which family this first daughter will be born into."
Then he touched his wife's belly and said.
"I'm actually hoping to be in your belly. That way our daughter will be very favored!"
That's right, with four older brothers protecting her, how could she not be favored? Thinking of this, Gu Xiaochun also hoped to have more daughters.
"I'm going back to the Su family tomorrow to visit my parents and grandparents. If you're feeling well, let's go together. They're also very happy to know that you're pregnant, and they're looking forward to meeting you."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Of course, we'll go together. We'll ask mother later. If she has nothing to do, she can go with us. I remember that she and mother-in-law have been good friends for many years. Every time they meet at the table, they always have endless things to talk about."
"Okay, I'll go ask later."
The two smiled at each other. Although they were a newly married couple, they seemed to have been together for many years and had a great understanding with each other.
As the days passed, the three children's full month birthday arrived.
On July 29th, no one in the palace dressed up excessively. After all, the word had been spread that the three children would celebrate their hundredth day, so naturally the full moon banquet could not be too grand.
But not being grand does not mean not taking it seriously.
Early in the morning, everyone in the family gathered in the Qiwu Courtyard. Although Du Jingyi had already completed her full month of confinement, according to Mrs. Du's words, she still had to stay in confinement for another two months before she could go out to see people.
Therefore, I just dressed up simply and didn't go too far.
The main purpose of coming here today is to name the three children, and this task falls on the head of Old Madam Gu. She has been racking her brains since she learned about this matter.
After all, you are taking three at once, so you have to be cautious.
