My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

The Tong family will make a fortune largely because of the river luck.

In the Daxing Dynasty, shipping was tightly controlled by the Su family, especially since they had several secret routes that people like them could not interfere with if they wanted.

So at that time, the Tong family focused their attention on river transportation, and after clearing up many connections, they secured the river transportation to the southwest.

If the Gu family hadn't become a rising star in the imperial business, I'm afraid the Tong family's reputation would have been even louder in Jinling City.

Nowadays, the river transport envoys are giving them several orders one after another, as if they are pinching their necks. They can still eat, but the food is not as smooth as before. Naturally, they are unhappy here.

Especially today, they had posted a banquet for the "officials" who were covering them, but now none of them showed up, and the face of the Tong family leader was also very ugly.

"It's all the trouble you caused. What are you going to do with that missionary? See, you can't steal the chicken but lose the rice. It also annoyed Mrs. Xing. I don't know how she was bragging to Mr. Xing behind his back." The pillow trend has disrupted our business."

The head of the Tong family pointed his sword at his wife and daughter-in-law. If the two of them had not made a fuss and made the Gu family and the Wang family unhappy, the Xing family might not have intervened in this matter.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were trembling and didn't dare to say a word. If they had known that they would make such a fuss like today, they wouldn't have started the game even if they were beaten to death.

Just when the whole family was anxious to get angry, Erlang from the Tong family suddenly rushed in and said overjoyed.

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

"The shopkeeper is from the Tong family."

Naturally, there were no other members of the Tong family who were following me. Although the table was hot, the excitement outside the Tong family's hearts was quite cold at the moment.

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

"We have settled today's debts, and we still left our names when we left. If you don't want us to inherit the relationship, you still have to pretend to mean it, so I want to act in a play with me. I Is there no missionary outside the family since then? I think the Nanyang people have never been exposed to it. If we follow our path, we can first deal with these Nanyang people who have joined forces with Yi Fang. This can also comfort some grandfathers. The spirit in heaven.”

"We are also in Wangjiang Tower today. The general and Mr. Xing were not too ruthless in their attacks, so the Tong family's profits were reduced by less than half. Naturally, we are taking it easy. We probably want to harm our family so that we can win over the Xing 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 what I am in charge of."

The face of Tongjia Qilang was also unfamiliar to other shopkeepers, so I remembered my father's words and naturally looked for a stranger. Without revealing my identity, I just nodded and settled the bill immediately.

The children were playing hard today, so most of them were asleep when we returned.

Thinking of that, Patriarch Tong smiled, and you noticed that your husband had a look of bad surprise when he saw your expression.

"He's going to ask someone to settle Shu Yue Pavilion's account. If the shopkeeper asks, don't say anything. If the Gu family wants to repay the favor, there's no way they can find out what's wrong with our boss. Let's go."

"The people from the Tong family came here deliberately to settle the bill, and they pretended to be members of the Gu family. What is the purpose? The adults are also young, so please handle it with care."

When Du Jingyi heard those words, he was also quite touched.

"Well, go up."

So, before the banquet was over and everyone was heading home, Gu Duoyu, who rarely rode a horse, accompanied Li Shanxi in the carriage.

"Nan Qian?"

If you want to eat up a whole family of the Gu family, Yan Zhiqing must be very capable.

"What's the meaning?"

After Qilang's wife got off the bed, she quickly pulled on Mr. Hu's sleeves and asked me to stop talking. She was afraid that something would get into trouble later, but Tong Qilang spoke slowly and spoke immediately.

But my proposal to live with my son was rejected by me. Before Rejing came up to think about it, she told her son.

The wet nurses held him and hurried back. When Li Shanxi saw the wet nurse holding Brother Tai, he could no longer feel the obvious exertion, so he immediately spoke to his husband.

"It's the Gu family who are celebrating the first birthday of our eight brothers. It's just outside Shuyue Pavilion downstairs. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my father. How about we go and congratulate him too?"

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

"Father, does he think you just met someone?"

Before I left, the Tong family had some thoughts. It was hard for you to guess why the Tong family acted like this. But the Tong family's behavior made the Tong family think that maybe the Tong family couldn't take advantage of Yiqi.

When the carriage and horses stopped behind the door of Gu's house, the seven couples discussed the plan that had not yet been discussed. There were many people outside who needed Xing Zhao's cooperation, so they had to let Xing Zhao pass the house tomorrow. trip to discuss.

"yes."

Du Jingyi was annoyed, and when he saw the cheerful look on my face, he became angry.

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

Apart from these eight closest right-hand men, only the shopkeeper of Wangjiang Tower knows about Li Shanxi's identity, so I call Patriarch Tong the Patriarch.

"My lord understands."

Under the table, when the shopkeeper came over, others didn't pay much attention. After all, it is the duty of a shopkeeper to say less than a few words to guests.

"General, Brother Tai is getting smaller and smaller as he grows older. I'm afraid it's okay if he only has a wet nurse to take care of him. But there is no suitable candidate for a big boy. It might be better to pick two sensible people to accompany him."

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

"Tong family?"

The Su family, the Yan family, plus the Tong family, and the Gu family became so angry that they were so eye-catching.

Li Shanxi then explained the plan vaguely, and while Gu Duoyu listened, he also felt that the method was wrong.

So I hurried back to report.

"The Tong family submitted the certificate of submission themselves, whether it was in vain or not."

Qi Lang of the Tong family immediately went to handle the matter according to his father's instructions.

Before the man left, the shopkeeper winked, and the clever clerk followed him quietly. After a while, he saw this stranger going to talk to the seventh son of the Tong family.

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

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

The shopkeeper was stupid, so he naturally knew that the Gu family's banquet was something the Tong family could afford, so he hurriedly told the Tong family's head.

"You must have seen his ancestors, who are you showing him with that ghostly smile?"
