After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Su Yunyan carried Su Yunting on her back and asked as she ran, "Mother, who is Li Qinghe? Why are we running?"

Gu Nanxi ran out of breath: "If we don't go back, the night market will be closed. Aren't you hungry?"

Li Mingde jumped out and said enthusiastically, "Madam Hou, don't worry. What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you first."

"Mingde, go to the Sichuan restaurant in the bridge hole and book a few large private rooms. Everyone has worked hard today, so take a good rest later." Gu Nanxi reminded him, "Also, give me a portion of the fish dumplings and fried fish rice from the south."

"Okay." Li Mingde stepped on the purse and ran back.

Doctor Li looked at Li Mingde's cheerful figure like a little bird, and felt bitter in his heart: "Normally when I ask him to run errands, he always refuses to do it. But today, he is eager to help others with work."

Chen Yixuan pushed Doctor Li aside and smiled at Gu Nanxi: "Godmother, if you have any other instructions, you can ask me to go. I promise I will be faster than Li Mingde!"

Godmother?

Gu Nanxi glanced at Chen Yixuan. The young man was only about thirteen or fourteen years old. He had a fair face and two deep dimples on his cheeks. He looked very festive.

"Go find a teahouse and rent it out. Anyone who wants to go in and have a cup of tea with us will put it on my account."

Gu Nanxi took out a purse, took out a few banknotes from it and stuffed them into Chen Yixuan's pockets.

Chen Yixuan waved his hands repeatedly and ran away: "How can I ask godmother to spend money? I'll take care of this!"

After everything was arranged, Gu Nanxi slowed down and said with a slight breath: "Li Qinghe is the right-hand man of Wu Shanzhang, but he is also the brother of Master Tong's thirteenth concubine."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Li glanced at Gu Nanxi inconspicuously, then turned his head to look at Censor Jiang, who still had that calm, dead look on his face.

Doctor Li finally figured it out. He was just a runner-up!

Doctor Li muttered quietly, "Tsk. Marquis Yongchang is so unlucky. He has such a capable housekeeper in the capital. What a waste of talent!"

Su Yunyan was still confused and looked around in bewilderment.

Gu Nanxi patted her head lovingly: "You ate too little tofu pudding. Eat more tomorrow. I've put Principal Wu on the spot. If he wants to save the reputation of Songshan Academy, he has to use Li Qinghe as a scapegoat. This will offend Master Tong and he will lose his greatest support. If he doesn't want to offend Master Tong, he will have to take the blame."

Either way, he's going to suffer a big loss!

Gu Nanxi didn't make it more explicit. How could a Li Qinghe dare to go to a nobleman's house and ask for money openly?

He is just an ordinary hall master, how can he afford so much money?

Su Yunyan nodded in confusion: "Mother, although I don't quite understand it, I have memorized it. I will slowly think about it after I go back."

Everyone chatted as they walked and soon arrived at Qiaodongzichuan Hotel.

Li Mingde had been waiting at the door for a long time, and led everyone into the private room: "I have booked three private rooms, two of which are connected, which is enough for us to sit down. The other one is reserved for backup. I also booked ten tables in the lobby so that the servants can rest."

Gu Nanxi gave him a big thumbs up and praised: "Not bad! Your arrangement is very thoughtful!"

Li Mingde pursed his lips to hide his smile, and personally opened a wooden lunch box on the round table: "Madam Hou, you must be hungry. This is the fish dumpling and fried fish rice from the south. Please try it. Do you like it?"

Doctor Li couldn't hold it in any longer and yelled, "Why don't you ask your own father if he's hungry? What does he want to eat?"

Li Mingde stiffened his neck and rolled his eyes: "You have money yourself, so why don't you ask an idle guy to run errands for you?"

After a while, noisy voices of thanks were heard outside the window.

"Thank you Madam Hou for the tea!"

"Madam Hou is too polite. We just can't stand seeing people bullying others in the capital. We don't want to ruin the morals of our imperial city!"

"That's right! Great tea! Madam Hou is so generous!"

Gu Nanxi walked to the window, opened it, and smiled at everyone: "There is righteousness in the world, and justice is in the hearts of the people. It is because of your righteous words that the capital is peaceful and comfortable. I will use tea instead of wine to toast you all!"

“Let’s toast!”

After drinking this cup, Gu Nanxi said to everyone: "Youth is not worth living if you are not frivolous. My son Su Xuanming and nine other young men, including Li Langjun and Chen Langjun, got to know each other through fighting. Xuanming, Mingde, Yixuan, Guanghai... come here."

Gu Nanxi waved, signaling the boys to come to the window.

Chen Yixuan was still greeting the people downstairs. When he heard Gu Nanxi calling him, he jumped anxiously: "Godmother, I'm here! Wait for me!"

"Hurry up and make way for Mr. Chen!" The people spontaneously squeezed to both sides to make a narrow path.

Chen Yixuan broke out in a sweat and finally made it to Gu Nanxi's window.

The Sichuan restaurant is just across the road from the river. In order to allow guests to enjoy the beautiful river view, the windows on the second floor are opened very large, large enough for nine teenagers to stand in a row.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and its light spreads all over the world.

The bluestone brick road was filled with a bustling crowd of people. They looked up at the second-floor window and saw nine young men with bruised faces and noses, but exuding vigorous vitality.

The lanterns hanging high in the restaurant emitted bright red and yellow light, softening the coolness of the floor.

Gu Nanxi, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was as beautiful as a flying goddess in the moonlight, and more majestic than the Mother Earth, making people dare not look directly at her.

For a moment, the crowd gradually quieted down, leaving only the chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects by the river.

Gu Nanxi held the teapot and poured tea for Su Xuanming and others, then walked to the window and spoke loudly.

"With the bright moon as a mirror and all of you as witnesses, Xuanming, Mingde, Xuanyi, Guanghai... are the nine of you willing to use this cup to turn hostility into friendship and let all the past things disappear into thin air?"

Su Xuanming and the others looked at each other, and Su Xuanming stepped forward first: "I am willing! Brothers, I am not good at socializing. If I have offended you in the past, I will apologize to you all here!"

Su Xuanming drank the bitter tea in one gulp!

Li Mingde was the second to stand up: "Brother Xuanming, no matter what my reasons are, it is wrong for me to attack you! I will use tea instead of wine to apologize to you!"

Next is Chen Yixuan.

Chen Yixuan's face was red and his eyes were watery: "Brother, I, I can't speak. Anyway, I am sorry for you!"

Jiang Guanghai secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, raised his glass and said: "Everything is self-explanatory! In the future, if I make a move against you again, I will be struck by lightning!"

……

In full view of everyone, the nine young men drank the cup of tea with great heroism!

"Good! This is my good boy from Kyoto!"

"It is a great virtue to correct one's mistakes. Well done to the nine gentlemen!"

"Brothers united in purpose can break any obstacle. The world is vast, you can fly wherever you want!"

The people burst into warm applause and showered the young men with praise as if it were free, making their cheeks and eyes blush.
