In fact, the caretaker still found a few people in the yard with whom she could chat casually. But now everyone is busy, and it is not easy for the mother-in-law to cover up and chat with one person, so these days,
She always took turns going to various places to chat and pass the time.
Because of this, the mother-in-law knows that everyone in the Zhao family is basically busy now. Compared with other people now, the mother-in-law is extremely lucky. Fortunately, she is in such a remote and unattended small courtyard.
Here, I can still take some time off from my busy schedule, unlike other people who can’t even stop moving.
So the mother-in-law, who looked around the study again and again for a while, had no choice but to give up other plans. She just remembered to report this situation to Madam tomorrow. She really couldn't think of anything else that could be done.
, and could only return to his room angrily.
At this time, there was a different scene in the study. Although Zhao Rong called Xiao Tao into the study, neither of them spoke for a while. Instead, they listened closely to other movements in the yard. They heard the servants scattering and leaving.
After a while, they heard the sound of the woman closing the door of her room again. At this moment, they knew that they could talk with peace of mind.
Almost at the same time, Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao said at the same time, "Xiao Tao, something serious has happened." "Master, I have good news for you."
The two sounds sounded almost at the same time, and both of them were stunned at the time. They didn't expect that when they wanted to talk so much, the other party actually had something to tell them. After a moment of pause, both of them felt that they had to say what they wanted to say.
More importantly, once, the two of them spoke almost at the same time, "Xiao Tao..." "Young Master..."
This time the two were silent for a longer time. They didn't know if they should speak now, or if the other person would speak as soon as they spoke. On the contrary, neither of them listened to the other.
After a while, Xiao Tao came to his senses. Looking at the young master's face, he knew that something must have happened, or something bad must have happened. Otherwise, his young master's face would not be as gloomy as it is now.
Xiao Tao had noticed his young master's face just now, but he really didn't think much about it. After all, if his young master had something to say to him, he would inevitably put on an angry show, so he thought that his young master only
It was just a face he put on specifically for the convenience of calling me to the study.
But after seeing this study for so long, the two of them have relaxed and can talk with peace of mind, but the young master's expression has not improved at all. Now he realizes that what the young master is about to say is probably not a good thing.
So Xiao Tao simply said something quickly, "You speak first, I'll listen." He was also afraid that if the two of them spoke at the same time, they would not be able to communicate. After hearing what Xiao Tao said, Zhao Rong nodded quickly.
, he is very anxious in his heart now, he has been pretending for a day, and he can't wait to share this matter with Xiaotao.
Although he had just heard what Xiao Tao said almost at the same time as him, it seemed that there was some good news, but Zhao Rong was only thinking about worry now. So he really didn't feel that he was in any mood.
Instead of listening to the good news relayed by Xiao Tao, it is better to tell Xiao Tao directly about the worries in your heart, and then the two of you can think of a solution.
Yes, now Zhao Rong feels that he has encountered a big problem, a problem that must be overcome. Although he has been thinking about it for most of the day, he has not yet figured out how to solve it. But he felt that he and Xiao Tao would analyze it.
If so, a solution may be found faster.
So Zhao Rong, who knew that Xiao Tao would not interrupt anymore, adjusted his mood again, and then said: "Xiao Tao, you don't know, I encountered something very important today. During the day..."
Zhao Rong began to talk about his experience during the day. Early this morning, he arrived in the study as early as usual. The old man had not gotten up at that time, and he was used to it. Basically, whether the old man was in the study or not, he
They were all self-taught, so they didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until almost noon that the old gentleman slowly came to the study. After he glanced at Zhao Rong, he didn't make any exchanges and just sat back in his chair.
Sitting on his old seat, he began to look through his precious books.
Until this moment, everything was very normal. Zhao Rong, as usual, did not read the books seriously, but was thinking about the future arrangements. He knew that it was still far from the Fourth Elder's seventieth birthday.
For two days, he now felt slightly worried.
There are still two days left. He doesn't know when the Gong Jian brothers will arrive in the county, and he doesn't know if he will have a chance to use those two invitations to invite the two Gong brothers to come to Zhao's house to meet him.
.These are all unknowns. It can be said that they are things that he has been worried about since he got the invitation.
It can be said that from the moment Xiaotao got the invitation, Zhao Rong didn't know why, but he couldn't let it go. It seemed that there was always one thing that he ignored. So these days, although he pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, he even
He was very happy to talk to Xiaotao about the bright and free life in the future, but in fact, he always had some worries in his heart. Although he couldn't figure out why, he couldn't calm down.
In the past two days, he felt that his worries may come from not knowing what the Gong Jian brothers were doing. He was now a little worried that the salesman brother might not contact Xiaotao and himself again. After all, the salesman brother did not know what was happening last time.
When meeting Xiaotao, he mentioned that he wanted to meet two people.
At that time, Xiao Tao immediately refused, and according to Xiao Tao, the salesman also expressed his understanding. Now Zhao Rong was a little worried, whether the salesman had already identified that they could not come up with any opportunities in this regard.
He met the Gong Jian brothers, so he no longer contacted them specifically. But if that was the case, it would be in vain if he and Xiao Tao had planned so many things and tried every means to steal the two invitations.
Thinking of this possibility, of course Zhao Rong felt faintly anxious. He had already thought about it. If there was no new progress on Xiao Tao's side when he went back today, he would ask Xiao Tao to find the salesman brother tomorrow.
He also brought the two invitations to the salesman to see if he had a chance to sneak out of Zhao's house and see if the two palace eldest brothers had come to the county town.
