The Tong family will make a fortune, largely because of the light of river transportation.

In the Daxing Dynasty, shipping was firmly controlled by the Su family, especially since they had several secret routes, which were not something that they could meddle in if they wanted to.

Therefore, the Tong family at that time focused their attention on river transportation, and dredged up and down a lot of relationships, so as to win the river transportation to the southwest.

If there is no Gu family to become a rising star after the imperial merchants, I am afraid that the reputation of the Tong family will be even louder in Jinling City.

Now that the river transport envoy has ordered several orders one after another, it is like pinching their necks, and they can still eat, but the food is not as enjoyable as before, so they are naturally unhappy here.

Especially today, they are arrogant to invite the "officials" who cover them, but now none of them are present, and the face of the head of the Tong family is also very ugly.

"It's all your trouble, it's okay to use that missionary to do anything, you see, stealing chickens doesn't make rice, and it annoys Mrs. Xing, I don't know how she blows the pillow wind with Lord Xing behind her back, and we can't do our business."

The head of the Tong family pointed at his wife and daughter-in-law, if it weren't for the two of them making a fuss and causing the Gu family and the Wang family to be unhappy, the Xing family might not have interfered in this matter.

And the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law trembled, and they didn't dare to say a word, if they knew that it would be like today, they wouldn't have formed that game if they were killed.

Just when the family was in a hurry, suddenly Erlang of the Tong family rushed in and said happily.

"Father, guess who I just met?"

The head of the Tong family was annoyed, and seeing his elated face, he was also angry.

"Seeing your ancestor, who will you show this ghost look like?"

Erlang's daughter-in-law stepped forward and hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the husband and asked him to stop talking, for fear that it would be bad if there would be any trouble later, but who knew that Tong Erlang was quick to talk and said immediately.

"It's the Gu family's people who are giving their three brothers a birthday banquet, it's in the Shuyue Pavilion upstairs, father, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why don't we go and congratulate them too?"

When the head of the Tong family heard this, he was also quite surprised.

It's just that his son's proposal was rejected by him, and after calming down and thinking about it, he told his son.

"You go and ask someone to settle Shu Yuege's account, if the shopkeeper asks, don't say anything, if the Gu family wants to repay this favor, there is a way to find out our heads, go."

After saying this, the head of the Tong family got up and left first.

Walking with him, naturally there are also the people of the Tong family, although the table is cold, but the excitement in the hearts of the Tong family at this moment is hot enough.

Tong Jiaerlang followed his father's instructions and immediately went to handle this matter.

The shopkeeper is also a good person, and he asked a special question.

"But the Gu family's people came to settle the bill?"

Tong Jiaerlang's face is also familiar to the shopkeeper, so he remembered his father's words, so he naturally found a new face, did not reveal his identity, just nodded, and immediately settled the account.

After the man left, the shopkeeper made a look, and the clever guy immediately followed quietly, and it didn't take long to see the man who was born and went to talk to the second son of the Tong family.

So I hurried back and reported.

"The shopkeeper is a member of the Tong family."

"Tong's family?"

The shopkeeper was not stupid, so he naturally knew that the Gu family's banquet was not something that the Tong family could eat, so he hurriedly went to tell Du Jingyi.

At the banquet, seeing the shopkeeper coming, others didn't pay too much attention, after all, the shopkeeper and the guest should say a few more words, and they should also be divided.

Du Jingyi went out, his expression was calm, but when he heard what the shopkeeper reported, people sneered a little.

"The people of the Tong family deliberately came to settle the bill, and they also pretended to be the people who took care of the family, and the purpose of the villain was not very clear, and the head of the family was asked to deal with it carefully."

Du Jingyi's identity, except for the three closest right-hand men, is only known to the shopkeeper of Wangjiang Tower, so he calls Du Jingyi the head of the family.

"I know, don't mention this matter to a third person again."

"The villain understands."

"Well, let's go down."

"Yes."

After he left, Du Jingyi had some thoughts, it was not difficult for her to guess why the Tong family was doing this, but the Tong family's actions made Du Jingyi feel that maybe the Tong family could take advantage of it.

If you want to eat the seven rooms of the Gu family, Zhiqing's ability is naturally nothing.

It's just that why bother to provoke so much right and wrong for yourself, so the best way is to invite the "accomplices" around you, and bite off his flesh one by one, which may be more appropriate than swallowing it.

The Su family, the Yan family, and a Tong family, the seven rooms of the Gu family who were angry were not so eye-catching.

Thinking of this, Du Jingyi smiled, and she didn't notice that her husband was curious when he saw her expression.

So, when everyone began to go back to their homes after the banquet was dispersed, Gu Shaoyu was also rare not to ride a horse, but to accompany Du Jingyi to sit in the carriage.

"What did the shopkeeper say to you, I've been laughing since I came back."

"The Tong family handed over the certificate of nomination by themselves, so there is no need to use it in vain."

"What do you mean?"

"They are also in Wangjianglou today, the general and Lord Xing are a little ruthless, so the profits of the Tong family have been cut by half, they are naturally anxious, it is estimated that they want to curry favor with our family, so as to catch the line of the Xing family, after all, my uncle is the river transporter, and the Shanwan River that his Tong family is going to go has a lot to do with the things he is in charge of."

"And then?"

"They settled today's accounts, and they didn't leave their names when they left, just to let us take this and pretend to be an accident, so the concubine wanted to play a play with him, didn't he have a missionary in the family before? The Nanyang people will also have some contact with it, if they follow their path, and first clean up those Nanyang people who have joined forces with Qifang, they can also comfort some of their grandfathers' spirits in the sky. ”

Then Du Jingyi made the plan clear, and Gu Shaoyu listened to it and felt that the method was good.

When the carriage and horse stopped in front of the Gu family, the couple had discussed the plan, and Xing Zhao's cooperation was indispensable, so they had to let Xing Zhao go to the house tomorrow to discuss.

The children had a lot of fun today, so they basically fell asleep when they returned.

The nurses hugged and hurried back, and Du Jingyi could feel obviously struggling when she saw the nurse holding Tai'er, and then said to her husband.

"General, Brother Tai is getting bigger and bigger, only the nurse is afraid that it will not be possible, but there is a suitable candidate for the little girl, and it may be better to pick two sensible ones to accompany you."
