Seeing his younger brother who was still touching the piece of paper and hesitating about what to do, Gong Jian smiled and reached out to take the piece of paper. He put the paper on top of his head and looked at it carefully for a moment facing the sun. Then he turned to face
Gong Yu said, "Did you tell your little brother all the things I taught you that may change in your life?"
Although Gong Jian's words were meant as questions, his tone was affirmative. Hearing his elder brother's questions, Gong Yu nodded in agreement.
He did tell Zhao Rong all the things his elder brother gave him, but he didn't know how many of them his little brother still remembered. But looking at the piece of paper in front of him, Gong Yu's heart was still full of
I am relieved. It seems that the words I said have been remembered by my little brother and can be used flexibly.
Since Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao walked out of Zhao's house, what they saw, heard and felt was a whole new world. It can be said that the journey from Zhao's house to the provincial capital was a journey for Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao.
A brand new beginning. They never imagined that after leaving the Zhao family, the outside world would be so wonderful, rich and diverse.
There are so many people, so many kinds of lives, and so many things outside that they have never thought about or seen. And Zhao Rong has seen it even more. He has read it in books before, but he cannot understand it at all.
Some things. It can be said that that journey was nothing less than a new life for Zhao Rong and Xiaotao.
And when they arrived in the provincial capital, especially after meeting Gong Yu, when the three of them traveled together, it was even more exposed that the master and servant were unfamiliar with the life of outsiders.
As for Gong Yu, it was rare to meet a friend who could talk to him so speculatively. Plus getting along with his friend, he soon felt that for some common sense of daily life,
He didn't know much about how to treat people. So it was rare that Gong Yu said more than he had ever said in front of Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao.
Even later, he finally told Zhao Rong everything he could think of, hoping that this little brother would be able to master more things. Looking at the blank piece of paper in front of him with no trace of himself at all, Gong Yu felt that
None of what I said was in vain.
When Gong Yu came back to his senses and turned around, he found that his eldest brother was no longer holding the piece of white paper and looking for traces in the sun. Instead, he walked to the table and lit the candle he found in the room just now.
It seems that the elder brother has found a way to make the words visible. And seeing the elder brother lighting the candle, Gong Yu probably understood which method Zhao Rong used to make the words disappear this time.
Sure enough, Gong Jian was seen holding the white paper, carefully approaching the candlelight, and evenly baking the back of the paper. Gradually, some marks slowly appeared on the front of the paper. He patiently and evenly baked the paper.
paper until all the words on the surface are visible.
Seeing the words clearly displayed on the paper, Gong Yu was extremely excited. He knew that his little brother had always been extremely smart, and it was extremely safe to use this method to convey messages.
Just now, didn't he just put the piece of paper aside as a piece of waste paper, without even thinking that this piece of paper was the key point. But it was obvious that Gong Yu didn't care about this, and he asked anxiously:
"Brother, what did Zhao Rong write in the letter?"
Gong Jian did not answer Gong Yu's question. Instead, he handed the letter in his hand to his second brother and asked him to read it by himself. Gong Jian slowly sat on the chair and unconsciously moved the letter with his right hand.
He tapped the table gently while thinking about the letter he just saw from Zhao Rong.
Zhao Rong didn't say much about his situation in the letter. He just said that his situation was relatively safe so far and thanked the two brothers for their reminder. Of course, he also said that Zhao Rong himself realized that he had been in the Zhao family before.
All kinds of treatment are indeed very suspicious.
It can be said that this little brother that his second brother knows is indeed very clever. Although it is not obvious in the letter, it is revealed between the lines that Zhao Rong believes that he is being plotted, most likely because of his own identity. After all, as Zhao Rong
The only legitimate son of the head of the family. I thought that the position of the head of the Zhao family in the future should be his, but now all the conspiracies and tricks against him have made Zhao Rong aware of his identity and what kind of threats it brings to him.
So at the end of the letter, Zhao Rong made it clear that he was not looking forward to it, or that he didn't think too much about becoming the head of the Zhao family. Instead, he emphasized that he hoped to be free.
Gong Jian thought in his heart that Zhao Rong was indeed a smart man. In the form he was in front of him, to help such a person get out of trouble, he would have to defeat many competitors in the end. He didn't know who was behind the scenes.
, no matter what the form is, it means that they want to seize the position of the next head of the Zhao family, which is basically a fool's dream.
Zhao Rong saw this clearly, so he clearly wrote it in the letter. He did not want to compete for the position of the next head of the family. Instead, he hoped that he could get rid of the shackles of the Zhao family and live freely in the vast world.
In heaven and earth.
It was because of Zhao Rong's request that Gong Jian felt that the little brother his second brother knew was indeed someone he could be friends with.
If this person could not see his own situation clearly and pursued the highest interests blindly, then Gong Jian would look down on Zhao Rong. However, this is not the case. Zhao Rong gave up his family business and gave up
Because of his powerful status as the legitimate son of the Zhao family, he did not ask them to help him win over the Zhao family and obtain the position of the next head of the Zhao family. Instead, he just hoped that he could get rid of the shackles of the Zhao family.
From this point of view, Zhao Rong has a longer-term vision than most people in the Zhao family. In fact, he simply cannot understand how such an ancestral precept of unanimously excluding outsiders can be passed down.
How can the children of the Zhao family thrive under such ancestral teachings? After all, they are completely exclusive, which limits their horizons and contacts. How can the children educated in this way be broad-minded and embrace all rivers?
Woolen cloth.
Zhao Rong has obviously broken through the constraints of the Zhao family, and has seen the wider world outside. He also understands that the Zhao family is just a very narrow part of the world, while the world outside is vast and boundless.
Of course, as a member of the Zhao family, Zhao Rong should know more about the wealth of the Zhao family. From the news he heard from his second brother, he can know that Mr. Zhao has been so-called since he was a child.
The eldest son of a rich family. (To be continued)
