Sheng Changquan took the jade pendant and looked at it under the sun.

I saw that in the sunlight, this square jade pendant was all milky white, and its tentacles were warm, as if it were a ball of cotton, giving it a soft and warm texture.

The material of mutton-fat white jade sparkles with crystals in the sunlight, as if it is as ethereal as a beauty or a fairy.

Especially the carving on it is even more impressive. The lifelike fat doll is obviously made by everyone.

"What a jade pendant!"

Sheng Changquan admired, and then thanked his nephew: "For such a beautiful jade, I have to say thank you to Second Uncle Gu!"

Although this jade pendant was given to Sheng Changbai's soon-to-be-born child, Sheng Changbai was not here, so Sheng Changquan, as his biological uncle, naturally wanted to express his gratitude to Gu Tingye on behalf of the Sheng family.

"Haha, no need!"

Gu Tingye smiled heartily: "This favor must be repaid by your second brother in person!"

"Not to mention that my sister Rong and brother Chang also received gifts from your second brother. From now on, if I have another child, your second brother will have to bleed heavily!"

"Speaking of which, I took advantage!" Gu Tingye joked, with a smile on his face.

Sheng Changquan also smiled, but did not say anything more. He just said: "Second Uncle Gu, this is a matter between you and my second brother. I will not get involved. However, this matter is really serious."

Thank you!"

"If you hadn't helped us, Caobang wouldn't have agreed to escort us and let us have a smooth journey to Beijing!"

"Therefore, I would like to ask Second Uncle Gu to accept my respects!"

As Sheng Changquan said this, he leaned down to worship Gu Tingye. It seemed that he really wanted to express his gratitude.

As for what Sheng Changquan said, it is actually the second half of the story of this trip to the Han River.

After repelling the first wave of water bandit attacks, Sheng Changquan and the others met the Cao Gang. At that time, Uncle Wang and Sheng Changquan asked Shi Qiang and others for help, hoping that the other party could help.

However, Shi Qiang and others were unwilling to get involved because they were concerned that the situation was different this time.

After all, it is the collective action of the entire Han River water bandits. Even if the Cao Gang is not small, it is impossible to resist the entire trend with one person against a hundred. Therefore, no matter what conditions Uncle Wang and the others put forward, the Cao Gang will not

promise.

And just when Sheng Changquan and others were about to return disappointed, they happened to meet Gu Tingye.

Because Gu Tingye had a close relationship with the Caobang, for his sake, Shi Qiang and others finally backed down on this matter and were willing to help.

However, there are conditions for this.

Not to mention that Fulai Shipping Company had to pay a sum of money for this, they also owed Caobang a favor from then on. Even if they were Sheng, the He family still had to think of Caobang, and there would be generous rewards in the future.

.

As for the escort method of the Cao Gang, it is also very simple, because Shi Qiang and the others still need to continue transporting goods and do not have time to accompany Sheng Changquan and the others to Beijing. Therefore, they thought of a way, that is, let Sheng Changquan and the others go to Beijing along the way.

They planted the flag of the Cao Gang on their own fleet to resist the water bandits.

Raising the flag means that their trip is affiliated with the Caobang. Therefore, even if Sheng Changquan and the others arrive in Bianliang, it will not be considered a passenger ship passing the customs and will not affect the struggle between bandits and merchants on the Han River.

In this way, for the sake of the Cao Gang, the water bandits headed by Liang San naturally turned a blind eye and let Sheng Changquan and the others go.

Therefore, Sheng Changquan said this.

"Chang Quan, what are you doing?"

Gu Tingye held Sheng Changquan in his arms, frowning slightly and feeling a little unhappy in his heart.

"You and I have been family friends for a long time, and your second brother and I are as close as brothers. How can we be so divided?"

Hearing this, Sheng Changquan was immediately stunned!

If you say the second half of the sentence, that's fine. But what kind of family friends are the Sheng family and the Gu family?

Even if we start from Mrs. Sheng’s Yongyi Houfu, these two families can’t be considered together!

After all, the headquarters of Yongyi Marquis is actually in Jinling, the former capital, and is really not in close contact with the Gu family in Bianjing.

"Ah ha ha!"

After all, he was helping his own people. Sheng Changquan was too embarrassed to say it clearly, so he could only laugh and said: "Second Uncle Gu, no matter what, I still appreciate your love for this journey!"

"From now on, if I need help with anything, my Sheng family will never hesitate to ask!"

Sheng Changquan smiled quietly, but the thoughts in his heart were very strange.

"I admit that I owe you a favor this time, but it's not my responsibility to repay it."

Seeing Gu Tingye's indifferent expression, Sheng Changquan thought silently in his heart: "Since you and my second brother are like brothers, then you will have to ask him for this favor in the future!"

In fact, the main reason why Sheng Changquan tried every means to keep Gu Tingye here was that he wanted him to meet Sheng Changbai, and then his second brother would take over the favor, so that he would not have to do it himself in the future.

return.

However, Gu Tingye didn't want to return to Beijing, so Sheng Changquan had no choice but to talk about his nephew. He hoped to get something from Gu Tingye and give it to Sheng Changbai, and then pass on the favor.

.

Fortunately, Gu Tingye and Sheng Changbai were really good friends. Before Sheng Changquan could point this out, he had already prepared a gift and asked him to bring it to Sheng Changbai.

In this case, Sheng Changquan agreed with a smile in order to make this pair of good friends happy.

…

ashore.

"Alas! I finally stepped on this earth!"

"Next time, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to do this boat again, right?"

As soon as she landed, Mrs. Sheng was so emotional.

After all, Mrs. Sheng is getting older and will definitely not run around like this again in the future. Therefore, this may be her last time taking a boat.

"By the way, Ruan, are you okay?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, Mrs. Sheng suddenly turned around and asked Fang's mother with concern.

"Grandma, be careful!"

Minglan supported Old Mrs. Sheng and reminded her in a low voice.

In fact, Mrs. Sheng was helped out of the boat by Minglan, while Mama Fang was supported by Xiao Tao. As for Dan Ju, there was no need to count on it, because she herself was like these two old people.

I am extremely uncomfortable with this reaction as soon as I get off the ship.

As for the masters Minglan and Xiaotao, one has a healthy physique due to Sheng Changquan's strict requirements, while the other is gifted with a good body, so he doesn't have as violent a reaction as others.

"Hey, old lady, don't worry, I'll just take it easy for a while!"

Fang's mother changed her mind from the previous time on the boat, and now her face was a little pale, apparently because she couldn't adapt to the sudden change from the boat to the land.

After all, suddenly moving from the swaying river surface to the stable land is indeed too unfriendly to those with weak bones or old people.

"Haha, you!"

Old Mrs. Sheng smiled helplessly and joked: "When I was on the boat, I was told to be careful so as not to be exhausted by this sudden change of environment."

"But look, who is stronger this time between the two of us?"

Perhaps because she was about to go home, Mrs. Sheng felt very relaxed and actually felt a bit naughty.

"Old lady, you..."

Mother Fang was dumbfounded by what Mrs. Sheng said, so she simply turned her head and stopped looking at her, as if she was sulking.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Sheng laughed loudly.

"As an old guy like you, you keep saying that your bones are stronger than mine. Now, do you know who is more powerful?"

Mrs. Sheng took advantage of the victory and continued to attack Fang's mother.

"Grandma~"

Minglan on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

"Grandma, Mother Fang was always doing it for your own good. Why do you talk like this?"

Minglan looked at her grandmother angrily and said apologetically for Fang's mother.

"Yep!"

Hearing someone supporting her, Fang's mother quickly turned around and echoed: "What the sixth girl said is serious. Old lady, she just doesn't know the heart of a good person!"

"Huh, if you lose, you lose!"

Old Mrs. Sheng did not admit defeat, she was still competing with Fang's mother and said: "From now on, you should take care of your own health first!"

"Don't just keep mumbling in my ears all day long. You can't even protect your own body and bones, and you still worry about others!"

"You really have nothing to do, so worry about it!"

Listening to what Mrs. Sheng said, Minglan immediately understood the meaning of Mrs. Sheng's words. Emotions were the arrogant concern of her grandmother!

Regarding this, Minglan was also a little bit dumbfounded.
