As long as those clan elders take office and the head of the Zhao family feels that he has fulfilled his responsibilities, then of course the days to come will return to normal and he can spend all day long and have fun as he pleases.
I don’t know which counselor trusted by the head of the Zhao family gave him this good advice. Originally, the fourth elder’s birthday was just for everyone in the Zhao family to gather together to discuss the issue of power division, but who knew that it was given to him?
It turned into a big party inside and outside.
Not only were invited, not only all the prominent people within the Zhao family, but also those with some power outside who were related to the Zhao family, the head of the Zhao family also invited them all together this time.
Of course, the fourth elder's birthday was planned in a large courtyard not far from the Zhao family's doorstep. Because of its large scale, the courtyard was never assigned to a specific family. It was only used for gatherings or ceremonies.
, a large courtyard that can accommodate all the main members of the Zhao family. This time it was convenient, as the head of the Zhao family invited so many guests at once.
Zhao Rong had forgotten this news. Although Xiaotao had reported this matter to him before, first of all, although he had spoken to the fourth elder and he had the best relationship among the elders, even so.
, he didn’t care too much about this matter. After hearing it, he put it in the back of his head and completely forgot about it. Now that Xiao Tao said this, Zhao Rong remembered that Xiao Tao once talked about this matter.
Zhao Rong thought for a long time before he remembered that Xiao Tao had indeed mentioned this matter to him, but he just listened to it at the time. On the contrary, it was only now that he remembered the fourth elder, and then he began to pay attention to this matter.
"Xiao Tao, tell me, why is this fourth elder's 70th birthday so grand this year?"
Xiao Tao didn't know why her young master suddenly turned his attention to this matter. Besides, this matter was not important. After all, these important matters in the clan were not for the young master and him, or for the young master as a small courtyard.
, it has always had nothing to do with it.
This has been like this from a long time ago. In addition to the Chinese New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family allows the young master and himself to go out of the small courtyard and celebrate the festival with other members of the family. But at that time, everyone just
To save face, when she and the young master go out, no one knows them, and no one will come to take care of them. Every time at this time, Xiao Tao will feel sad for her young master.
After all, my young master can only relax twice a year, but when the family members get together, even the old lady is surrounded by those clan old ladies and other elderly women.
He has no chance to take care of his young master's son. Among the people of the same age as the young master in the family, his young master does not know anyone, and no one is willing to talk to his young master.
Xiao Tao tried hard to recall, and it seemed that only the two children of the third master's family were willing to talk to their young master. However, those two children were always surrounded by many people, so it would be difficult to get away from those two children if they had the opportunity.
There are not many opportunities for people to come to their young master's side.
So every time during the New Year's Day, Xiao Tao actually watched them and simply forgot about the young master. It also saved the young master from being alone outside. He was still celebrating the festival alone, which made him look even more lonely and lonely. In such a lively occasion,
It seems that the young master is so out of place.
As for other major events in the clan, they generally do not involve the young master and him, nor do they affect the young master's small courtyard. This place seems to be a paradise isolated from the world, and has nothing to do with those things in the clan.
Whenever something important happened in the clan, no one would notify the young master to attend.
So this time, although the fourth elder's seventieth birthday was said to be extremely lively and grand, in fact, the people in their small courtyard didn't know about it at all. As for whether the janitor knew about it
, Xiao Tao didn't know. But he knew that if he hadn't been able to sneak out of the small courtyard and go to other people to inquire about the information, he and the young master would have been completely unaware of this matter.
Therefore, Xiao Tao thought that this matter was insignificant to them, at least it had nothing to do with them. However, he did not expect that his young master would actually ask about this matter again.
After all, when I first mentioned this matter to the young master, the young master just heard about it and ignored it. He didn't take it to heart, but he didn't know why the young master asked about it again. But no matter what
, Xiaotao still answered the young master's questions seriously.
"Yes, young master. The Fourth Elder's birthday was extremely grand this year. It is said that many people were invited, including some squires and celebrities outside the Zhao family. I can't tell you why it was so grand.
I heard some rumors, and it is said that the family wants to take advantage of the fourth elder’s birthday to determine the positions of the other elders, so the scale will be more grand than in previous years.”
In fact, Zhao Rong was stunned when he heard the first words Xiao Tao said. As for what Xiao Tao said later, he really didn't listen carefully. At this time, he kept repeating Xiao Tao's words in his heart.
Not only people from the Zhao family, but also some squires and celebrities outside the Zhao family are invited to come.
On Xiao Tao's side, he was even more surprised by Zhao Rong's reaction. Why did his young master look dumbfounded after hearing what he said? But he didn't dare to ask any more questions. After all, the young master was obviously thinking about something, so he was still serious.
Just wait aside. After a while, Zhao Rong raised his head and asked Xiao Tao once again, "Xiao Tao, the fourth elder's birthday you just mentioned is not only inviting people from the Zhao family, but also
We even invited a lot of outsiders, right?"
Xiao Tao didn't know why his young master kept focusing on this sentence. He felt that this sentence had no other meaning. Although the Zhao family may rarely open up and invite outsiders to the Zhao family, the ancestors heard that
It has happened several times.
Besides, Xiao Tao didn't say a word, that is, he also heard some gossip. That is, a message was also circulated among the servants. One of the reasons why the Fourth Elder's birthday was so grand this time was that,
The recent momentum of the Zhao family has really weakened. (To be continued)
