My Stepmother Is Soft and Charming

Chapter 371 Missionary

Old Madam Gu was happy to hear her fourth daughter-in-law scold these arrogant youngsters, so she didn't express her opinion, but just said something casually.

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

Having said that, they couldn't go any further. They just chatted with Old Madam Gu for a while and then left.

After they all left, the fourth aunt showed a look of annoyance.

"The people of the seventh uncle's line are really one after another. I didn't care about them before, that was too lazy to say, but now even a youngster dares to say something in front of the mother-in-law, which is really a joke."

In the past, all the families in their Gu family died out, leaving only Gu Xiaolang. The fourth aunt was also afraid that they would all be gone in the future, and there would not even be a family member to support Gu Xiaolang, so she rarely offended the people of the seventh room.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

They can stand it in their own family, so they will not swallow their anger anymore. So when the third lady of the Gu family spoke, she had to scold back, which was also a warning to others.

"When Chun Jie'er got married a few days ago, she fell and got dirty, which disturbed the wedding day. Today, she came to the house again and forced to see Shao Yu's wife and several children. People who don't know would think that she is the master of the house! Humph, what a joke!"

Seeing that she was very angry, Mrs. Gu had to comfort her.

"Okay, if you have the time to get angry with them, you might as well think about other things, such as asking our Tai Ge'er to speak."

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

Although he couldn't speak, the few sounds of "ah ah ah" still revealed his meaning, as if to say, that's right, teach me how to speak quickly.

Seeing this, the fourth aunt's anger subsided a lot. After that, 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 the Tong family's banquet today. Guess what I saw?"

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

"The Tong family didn't produce any military generals, so how could they have weapons that I like? Mother-in-law, you are joking. Their family found a blond and blue-eyed foreigner. They said he was a missionary. I didn't understand much, but the toys he brought made Tai Ge'er like them very much."

"Missionary? Blond and blue-eyed? Where did he come from?"

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

The Su family's shipping has always been from south to north and from north to south. The goods they carry are mostly common and common things, but they have a few routes to the south or even the north that are secret. Even when Mrs. 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 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?

"Wait for me to find a chance to ask my brother. I have never seen a blonde and blue-eyed person in my life."

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

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

"What?"

"If my uncle's family brings back several people, can you invite one to the mansion for everyone to see? The mother-in-law has not seen it. The people of the Tong family treat the missionary like a bodhisattva. They respect him very much. It's not that we have to do the same. I just want to invite him to sit down and let everyone see it. It's good to add interesting stories."

The words of the fourth aunt made Mrs. Gu feel a little shy.

Originally, she was still curious, but now she had a reminder and said to the fourth aunt.

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

Fourth Aunt did not expect Mrs. Gu's alertness. She originally thought it was good, but now she feels that it is inappropriate, so she restrained her smile and said.

"Daughter-in-law understands, and will not talk nonsense."

"Who did the Tong family invite today?"

"Not many, our family, Xun family, Li family, Liu family, and by the way, the eldest sister-in-law's family, the Wang family, also went. She sat at the same table with me and amused Brother Tai for a long time."

These families, except for the Gu family and the Wang family represented by the fourth aunt, are not very powerful families. But the more so, the more Mrs. Gu feels that there seems to be something fishy behind it.

Otherwise, why didn't the Su family, who brought the missionary, invite others such as the seventh room of the Gu family, and the Liu family, who are also rich families with him, invite them?

This made Madam Gu even more suspicious.

Since there was nothing to do now, Madam Gu simply got up and went to the Su family to find out the truth!

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

In Qiwu Courtyard, Du Jingyi was in confinement after childbirth, but she didn't know what was happening outside, and poured all her love into the three children.

"Mother, do you think they are born a little different? I think the eldest and the second are similar, but the third is not. He looks more like his father. 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 person who only makes money but never spends it in the future!"

Mrs. Du's words made Du Jingyi laugh.

Before she could say "um", Mrs. Du asked another question.

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

"Originally, I thought the general would come back to name them, but now he has sent a message saying that His Majesty wants to give names to the three children, so it's delayed. However, you can think of a nickname to avoid calling them unpleasant."

"That's right."

"Then I'll ask someone to invite grandma over. She always gives nice names."

Mrs. Du also likes the meaning of Tai Ge'er very much, so she didn't object when Du Jingyi said this. Who knew that Shuxiu went there, but she didn't invite Mrs. Gu, but brought the second aunt.

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

"Hello, second aunt."
