Zhao Rong's interest was suddenly aroused. This was his first time doing this. Originally, he and Xiao Tao had discussed it for a long time yesterday, thinking about various details, but this kind of thing was too difficult for the two of them.
It was all the first time. 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.
Not only did he tell himself the layout of the small courtyard, he also guessed the approximate location of the invitations, so that he could successfully complete the task. As the young master said, the invitations all looked exactly the same.
They were piled up one by one. "They were placed in a very conspicuous place on the desk at that time. I saw them at a glance. They must be the kind of invitations you mentioned, young master."
At this point, Xiao Tao remembered that there was a moment of hesitation in her actions in the morning. After all, as the young master said, the invitations should be stacked together, but what she saw were two stacks of invitations, one high and one low.
He also thought about how to take out two invitations from it. Finally, he chose the highest pile and took out two copies. Thinking of this, Xiao Tao quickly explained the matter.
"It's just that, young master, those invitations were not piled together as you said. They were placed in two piles, one higher and one lower. I hesitated at the time and didn't know how to get it. Later, I didn't know the time.
While I was waiting for someone, I simply took out two copies from the bottom of the tall pile."
Hearing Xiao Tao talk about this accident, Zhao Rong didn't understand why the second housekeeper Zhao divided them into two stacks when they were all invitations. Is there any significance in this? Is there anything different about the invitations? Thinking of this,
He was somewhat anxious to see those two invitations, so he hurriedly said to Xiao Tao.
"It shouldn't be. The book says they all look the same. Have you looked carefully? By the way, quickly take out the two invitations you got and show them to me." Xiao Tao still said.
He first answered his young master's question, "No problem, young master, I have checked them all. Those invitations all look exactly the same. Whether it is the high pile or the low pile, the things all look the same."
After Xiao Tao finished saying this, he stood up and motioned to Zhao Rong to wait a moment. After that, he turned around and went to the place where he had hidden the invitation that morning. There, Xiao Tao found the book and took it from it.
He took out the two invitations sandwiched between them, came to Zhao Rong's side again, and handed the invitations to his young master with both hands.
In fact, this is the first time Zhao Rong has seen invitations. He has only seen them in books and knows that they are a kind of post that wealthy families need to use when they invite people to be guests or come to greet people. So he only has a general idea of these things.
It should all look the same, unless someone posts it in his own name and has his own characteristics. But for the Zhao family, no one really wants to do this kind of thing.
Moreover, the Zhao family held the 70th birthday of the fourth elder this time. They invited celebrities and squires in the name of the Zhao family, so the invitations must be the same. Zhao Rong reached out and put the two invitations in his hands and looked at them carefully.
Get up. At first glance, Zhao Rong found that the two pictures looked exactly the same.
The Zhao family's invitations are actually of the same specifications, but the paper used is relatively expensive, and the cover is printed with a painting by an ancestor of the Zhao family. That ancestor was indeed a member of the Zhao family at that time.
A famous calligrapher and painter, his works are also widely circulated.
This ancestor can be regarded as a relatively representative figure in the history of the Zhao family. But after all, it has been a long time since now, so it is kept in the family. There are not many paintings by him, and the cover print
This painting is the most representative work of that ancestor.
Zhao Rong had seen copies of this painting elsewhere. Many times at family gatherings, everyone would mention these paintings. So Zhao Rong still had an impression of supporting this painting. He did not expect that Zhao Rong
I actually had this painting made and engraving it printed on my invitations.
After reading the cover, Zhao Rong opened the invitation, but the inside was completely white. He turned it over and over, and had to read the invitation two or three times. Except for the painting of his ancestor, other parts of this precious paper had nothing to do with it.
They are all left blank. Could it be that this is how the invitation looks like, so can everyone come to Zhao's house just by relying on this piece of paper? Zhao Rong always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't figure it out.
What's going on in it?
With the corner of his eye, he glanced at Xiao Tao, who was staring at the two invitations in his hand. Zhao Rong decided to suppress the vague uneasiness in his heart. Xiao Tao had spent a lot of effort to get these invitations, so it was better not to worry about it.
Any unnecessary uneasiness in her heart would dampen Xiao Tao's enthusiasm.
