When Zhao Rong returned to the courtyard after school in the evening and saw Xiao Tao greeting him, as soon as their eyes made contact, Xiao Tao turned away. Zhao Rong was still confused in his heart, Xiao Tao's behavior was a bit strange.
If she had something to say to herself, Xiao Tao would make it inconspicuous to herself and make small gestures that she could see clearly to let herself know that he would send everyone away at night so that it would be convenient for the two of them to discuss the matter. However, Xiao Tao
But there has never been a time like today when I would avoid my gaze when I looked over.
For a moment, he couldn't understand what Xiao Tao meant. Zhao Rong did not directly act out an angry drama as usual, but quietly returned to the study. After taking a book and placing it on the table, Zhao Rong began to think about it.
Let’s talk about Xiaotao’s unusual behavior today.
After trying hard to recall for a long time, Zhao Rong finally remembered that he seemed to have told Xiao Tao last night that when he went out to inquire about news today, he specifically asked for more information about the old lady, his grandmother.
It seems that Xiao Tao has obtained some information, but it is inconvenient to tell her. At the very least, Xiao Tao has not decided whether to talk to herself about this matter, so she avoids her eyes.
Wanting to understand this, Zhao Rong sighed slightly in his heart. Judging from Xiaotao's reaction, it is estimated that his grandmother's life is not as comfortable as before. If there is really no change there, everything will be fine this weekend.
If so, Xiaotao wouldn't have reacted like this.
After thinking about this, Zhao Rong immediately pushed aside the books that were originally placed on the table, then took out a few pieces of white paper and pretended to practice calligraphy. But when he picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, he immediately
Get furious.
It turned out that the few followers started reading as soon as Zhao Rong entered the study. No one thought of grinding ink for their young master, so now Zhao Rong has a brush in his hand, but there is no place to dip it in ink. This time,
Zhao Rong lost his temper and immediately scolded all the boys in the room and drove them out.
Of course, when the last person was driven out of the study by Zhao Rong, that person heard Zhao Rong say from behind, "Go and call Xiao Tao over."
Hearing such a stern instruction from the young master, the man trembled all over and hurriedly responded. He did not turn around and go back to the study to answer. Instead, he quickened his pace and walked out of the study in a hurry.
The young master has been really difficult to take care of recently, but today, they have really been negligent. If Xiao Tao had been here in the past, he would have prepared the ink long ago. No matter whether the young master is reading or writing, he can take care of him.
They are obedient. In this regard, these people are still not as good as Xiao Tao. It's no wonder that after Master Shang lost his temper, he finally called Xiao Tao, who he didn't want to see, to come and serve him.
Unlike the other people who walked out of the study and went back to their rooms laughing and joking, the servant who went out last hurriedly ran a few steps and turned to the door of Xiaofang Xiaotao's room. He knocked on the door and shouted:
"Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao, get up quickly. The young master has asked you to go to the study to serve him now."
After the shouting, the man didn't wait for Xiao Tao to get any response, turned around and ran back to his room. If Xiao Tao didn't hear this, he couldn't blame himself. Anyway, he had finished the work he was supposed to do. So
Now, if Xiao Tao doesn't hear it, then the young master can just take out his anger on Xiao Tao. Anyway, he was kicked out by the young master, so the next thing is not up to him.
This is also a characteristic shared by the servants in Zhao Rong's courtyard. It seems that except for Xiao Tao, all of them are like monks ringing the clock every day. As long as they stand in front of the servants in this courtyard, they are like heaven.
They are so many that they don't care at all. They usually follow the young master without knowing where their thoughts are going. As long as they don't have to wait for them, these people will certainly be happy before it's too late.
Xiao Tao, who was in the room, had been struggling since just now, whether she should tell her young master what she knew. After hearing the noise coming from the door and hearing clearly what the man shouted, Xiao Tao
Only then did I finally make up my mind.
Since his young master asked someone to call him to serve him, it means that the young master will not allow himself to escape from this matter. Since the young master has made a decision, Xiao Tao is willing to cooperate fully. As long as the young master wants to know something, he will definitely do it.
Tell the young master.
At worst, when the young master is really soft-hearted or kind-hearted, and he wants to do something that is detrimental to his own interests, all he has to do is be there to dissuade and persuade him. Once Xiaotao makes up his mind, he immediately walks out quickly.
Room.
As soon as Xiao Tao entered the study room, she saw her young master sitting on a chair, waiting for her. Seeing the young master's expression, Xiao Tao knew that the young master had already thought clearly about the fact that she was hiding it from him.
So without waiting for the young master to ask questions, Xiao Tao immediately walked over and whispered everything she knew today. When San'er mentioned what San'er said about the current situation in the old lady's yard, Xiao Tao clearly felt that there was something wrong with her around her.
The young master exudes a gloomy aura.
There was no other way. After Xiaotao finished talking about the matter, she immediately opened her mouth to explain to her young master: "Master, don't worry too much. After all, where is the identity of the old lady? Even if the old lady wants to do something, they have to take care of the family.
Those old people are willing to be around the old lady during festivals or important events. So on the surface, the master and his wife cannot treat the old lady harshly."
This is also the reason why Xiaotao has been thinking hard in the room this afternoon before coming up with the reason to persuade her young master. After all, in an extremely closed family like the Zhao family, even the master and his wife who are the head of the family, if there are rumors that they
If they are disrespectful and unfilial to the old lady, they will also have to bear the blame of other people in the family, and it is even possible that they will lose the power and status they currently have because of this.
Xiao Tao believed that his young master would definitely want to understand this, which was why, once he made up his mind tonight, he immediately told his young master straightforwardly what he had heard in the afternoon.
And Zhao Rong was indeed as Xiao Tao expected. When he first heard that such a thing happened in his grandmother's yard, he felt very sad and worried from the bottom of his heart.
