If the old man hadn't glared at Zhao Rong with disgust from time to time, Zhao Rong would have been almost unable to continue working in this study. How much he wanted to do, he rushed back to his yard to see if Xiao Tao was real.
Got the invitation.
But intellectually, Zhao Rong knew that he absolutely couldn't do this. He couldn't let others see anything unusual about him, especially at such a juncture, so he kept saying to himself in his heart: Hold on,
Hold on, you can definitely do it.
In this way, Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao were in the study and the other in their own room in the courtyard, but they both had the same torment for the day. Finally it was time for the two to meet again. This time they met Zhao
Rong didn't want to have an angry scene with other servants like he did a few times before. Instead, when he saw Xiao Tao for the first time, Zhao Rong shouted sternly: "Xiao Tao, get out of here and go to the study."
Come."
As for those who followed Zhao Rong, they certainly knew what happened. The reason why the young master was so angry must still be remembering Xiao Tao's report in the morning. Now they are not willing to go forward. They originally had so much feelings for Xiao Tao in their hearts.
A little bit of gratitude had been wiped away as early as the morning. Now they would rather hide in their rooms than watch these two quarreling people, so they didn't need Zhao Rong's orders at all, and the people behind him were shouting.
They dispersed and went back to their rooms.
Xiao Tao, as for Xiao Tao, deliberately showed a worried and cautious look, followed Zhao Rong into the study. After they both walked into the kitchen, the study door was closed tightly with a bang.
It blocks the view of outsiders. Of course, the person here refers to the janitor, the lady's spy. No matter what, we must beware of such people.
After entering the study, the two of them banged the table and moved the bench, and occasionally let out an angry shout or two. In short, in today's scene, Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao played a different role, and they performed well.
It’s also for other people to listen to.
The main reason why they were so cautious was that they still couldn't figure out how many spies the madam had planted in their courtyard. Who else, besides the caretaker, would stab them in the back. In any case, they
Playing such a play with such care is still effective.
At least according to the caretaker, the young master and Xiao Tao are probably going to have a big fight again. The most important thing is that the young master will lose his temper severely. Look at the closed door in the study,
And hearing these noises coming from the study, the mother-in-law left
Pouting her lips, she knew that the young master was now young and vigorous, and he would definitely not be able to bear Xiao Tao's betrayal of his master. Thinking of this, she turned around and went back to her room. Now that everyone was back in the yard, she just had to open the door.
There is nothing else to do with the lock.
Now this mother-in-law has long forgotten that she still felt that Master Zhao Rong went out a little early in the morning, which was a little unusual. Originally, she only had a slight feeling that this thing was a little strange, but with Mrs.
After walking for a while, she had forgotten the matter. At this time, it was impossible for her to think of this little abnormality before.
But there was a different scene in the study room. Zhao Rong stood behind the desk, and Xiao Tao ran to the chair. One of them was patting the table, and the other was shaking the chair. After being noisy for a long time, the two of them were listening attentively, feeling that
There was no other movement in the yard.
Xiao Tao even tiptoed to the window, opened a small crack, and carefully looked out. This window happened to be facing the courtyard door, so it was convenient for Xiao Tao to observe the movement of the old lady at the courtyard door.
At this time, he looked over, and through the lights in the yard and the afterglow of the setting sun, he could clearly see that the old lady was not standing at the door, and the lights had been lit in the old lady's room, and the door was closed properly.
It seemed that the old woman had returned to her room. Thinking of this, Xiao Tao carefully closed the window, turned to Zhao Rong and mouthed: It's safe.
Seeing what Xiao Tao said, Zhao Rong felt relieved. He hurriedly greeted Xiao Tao, came behind the desk, and asked eagerly in Xiao Tao's ear: "Xiao Tao, have you got those two invitations?" Hearing his young master's words
Asked the question, Xiao Tao nodded quickly and said with blazing eyes: "I got it. Don't worry, things went very smoothly for the young master this morning."
Zhao Rong's interest was suddenly raised. This was the first time for him to do this. Originally, he and Xiao Tao had discussed it for a long time yesterday, thinking about various details, but this kind of thing was very difficult for the two of them.
This was the first time for him. Even when Zhao Rong was young, no matter how naughty and teasing others he was, he never thought of taking anyone's things.
As long as Zhao Rong had not been forced to this point in the Zhao family, he would not have made such a desperate move. But no matter what, he was now curious about what Xiao Tao's actions were this morning.
He was not in a hurry to see the two invitations. As long as he got the things, Zhao Rong would feel at ease. Moreover, the salesman brother had just returned to Zhao's house. It was impossible for the two palace brothers to come to the county so soon. Now they have a good relationship.
Time to relax.
Now, what Zhao Rong wants to know more is the specific situation of Xiao Tao's actions today. He pulled Xiao Tao, and the two of them came to the seats next to them and sat down. Zhao Rong then said: "Xiao Tao,
Then tell me, after you left the main room this morning, everything went smoothly?"
Seeing that his young master was very interested in his morning experience, Xiao Tao was of course very happy to share with him what he had experienced. Now he and the young master are of the same heart, and they both care about each other, and of course they are not concerned about what the other has done.
They all care very much.
"Everything went smoothly. In the morning, while those people were quarreling with each other, I walked out of the main room. Fortunately, you also told me about the layout of the courtyard, so I found it quickly.
The second housekeeper’s study.”
Xiao Tao sat on the chair and carefully recalled what she had done in the morning. Without hiding anything, she directly told Zhao Rong: "As soon as I entered the study room, I went straight to his desk. Master, you also said something like invitations. I guess this
It will be in the hands of these outer courtyard housekeepers for a few days, and the most likely place they will put it is on the desk."
Now Xiao Tao felt that the main reason why the operation went so smoothly was that the young master had done enough homework before.
