Chapter 424 Tong Jianian

The Tong family became rich largely because of the river transportation.

In the Daxing Dynasty, the Su family firmly controlled the shipping, especially they had several secret routes, which were not something they could intervene in.

So at that time, the Tong family focused on the river transportation, and smoothed out a lot of relationships, and then they took over the river transportation to the southwest.

If the Gu family had not become a rising star after the imperial merchant, I am afraid that the Tong family’s reputation would be even louder in Jinling City.

Now the river transportation envoy’s successive orders are like strangling their necks. They can still eat, but they don’t eat as happily as before, so they are naturally unhappy here.

Especially today, they sent a generous invitation to entertain the "officials" who protected them, but now none of them showed up, and the face of the head of the Tong family was also very ugly.

"It's all your fault. Why do you have to show off to the missionary? Look, you didn't get what you wanted, and you also angered Mrs. Xing. I don't know how she whispered to Mr. Xing behind our backs. It's making it impossible for our business to do."

The head of the Tong family pointed his sword at his wife and daughter-in-law. If they hadn't made such a scene, which made the Gu and Wang families unhappy, the Xing family might not have intervened in this matter.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law trembled and dared not say a word. If they knew that it would become like this today, they would never have organized that game.

Just when the family was anxious and angry, Erlang of the Tong family suddenly rushed in and said with joy.

The head of the Tong family went out with a calm expression, but when he heard what the shopkeeper reported, he stopped laughing.

"The shopkeeper is from the Tong family."

The people who followed me were naturally not the Tong family. Although the banquet was heated, the excitement of the Tong family members was cold enough at the moment.

The shopkeeper was also a smart person and asked a question.

"We settled the bill for today, and left our names when we left. Youfei wanted us to pretend to be grateful, so I want to play a drama with you. Will there be no missionaries outside the family in the future? I think the Nanyang people will not be contacted. If we follow our way, we will first deal with these Nanyang people who have joined forces with the first branch, and it can also comfort the spirits of our grandfathers in heaven."

"We are also in Wangjiang Tower today. The general and Mr. Xing will start It was not so cruel, so the profit of the Tong family was reduced by half. We were naturally slow. I guess they wanted to get in touch with the Xing family by making trouble for our family. After all, my uncle is the river transporter, and the Shanwan River that my Tong family wants to take has nothing to do with the one I control. "

The face of the seventh son of the Tong family was also unfamiliar to the shopkeeper, so I remembered my father's words and naturally found a new face. I didn't reveal my identity. I just nodded and settled the bill immediately.

The children played hard today, so they basically fell asleep on the way back.

Thinking of that, the head of the Tong family smiled, and you noticed that when your husband saw your expression, he was full of mischief.

"He went to ask someone to settle the bill for Shuyue Pavilion. If the shopkeeper asks about it, he shouldn't say anything. If the Gu family wants to repay the favor, there is no way to find out that we are wrong. Let's go."

"The Tong family deliberately came to settle the bill and pretended to be from the Gu family. What is their purpose? The master is also young. Please be patient with the head of the family."

When Du Jingyi heard that, he was also quite touched.

"Well, go up."

So, before the banquet was over, when everyone finished and went home, Gu Duoyu rarely rode a horse, but accompanied Li Shanxi in a carriage.

"Then?"

If he wants to eat up the Gu family, it's natural with Yan Zhiqing's ability.

"What do you mean?"

After Qilang's wife got off, she quickly pulled her husband's sleeve and asked me not to say anything, for fear that there would be trouble later. Who knew that Tong Qilang was slow to speak and said immediately.

But my son's suggestion was rejected by me. Rejing came up to think about it, and then told her son.

The wet nurses hurried back with the baby in their arms, and when Li Shanxi saw Fu holding Tai Ge'er, she could not feel the obvious effort, so she told her husband.

"It is the Gu family who is holding a birthday party for the eight brothers of our family, just outside the Shuyue Pavilion downstairs. Father, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How about we go and congratulate them?"

"I know, don't mention this to the eighth person again."

"Father, who did he guess you just met?"

Before I left, the head of the Tong family had some thoughts. It is hard for you to guess why the Tong family did this, but the Tong family's actions made the head of the Tong family feel that perhaps the Tong family could not use Yiqi.

When the carriage stopped at the door of Gu's house, the couple and the seven of them discussed the plan that had not been discussed yet. Most of the people outside needed Xing Zhao's cooperation, so Xing Zhao had to come to the house tomorrow to discuss.

"Yes."

Du Jingyi was annoyed, and seeing my cheerful look, he was also angry.

But why should I provoke such a small trouble for myself, so the worst way is to invite the "accomplices" around me to bite off my flesh one by one, which may be more appropriate than swallowing it whole.

Li Shanxi's identity, except for these eight closest and capable assistants, only the shopkeeper of Wangjiang Tower knew it, so I called Tong family master the head of the family.

"My lord understands."

At the table, seeing the shopkeeper coming, others didn't pay much attention. After all, it was the shopkeeper's duty to say less to the guests.

"General, Tai'er is getting younger and younger. It's okay without a wet nurse, but there is no suitable candidate for a big servant. Pick two sensible ones to accompany him, maybe it will be better."

"But the Gu family came to pay the bill?"

"Tong family?"

The Su family, the Yan family, and the Tong family, the Gu family was so angry that it was so eye-catching.

Li Shanxi had just given a vague plan, and Gu Duoyu felt that the method was wrong while listening.

So he hurried back to report.

"The Tong family handed in the letter of surrender themselves, so it's useless."

Tong's Qilang followed his father's instructions and immediately went to do it.

Before the man left, the shopkeeper winked, and the clever clerk immediately followed quietly. After a while, he saw the unfamiliar man talking to the seventh son of the Tong family.

"What did the shopkeeper say to him? He has been laughing since he came back."

After saying that, Li Shanxi got up and left first.

The shopkeeper was stupid again, and naturally knew that the Gu family's feast was something the Tong family could eat, so he hurried to tell the head of the Tong family.

"You must have seen his ancestors, who are you smiling like a ghost for?"
