There are still two days left, Zhao Rong doesn't know when the Gong Jian brothers will arrive in the county, and he doesn't know if he has a chance to use those two invitations to invite the two Gong brothers to come to Zhao's house to meet him.
On the one hand, these are all unknowns. It can be said that they are the things 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.
After all, in Zhao Rong's view, although the fourth elder's 70th birthday is said to be very grand, this event is a big event for the Zhao family, but to other people, it is insignificant.
Zhao Rong could not guarantee whether the Gong Jian brothers would know about this matter.
If the two elder brothers don't know about this event in the Zhao family, then they won't rush to the county in a hurry. Maybe they even know about it and don't think it has anything to do with them.
Or they were not involved in this incident, and they did not see any opportunities, so the two brothers would not care about the birthday banquet held by the Zhao family. If that is the case, the two of them may not
He would come to the county town before the birthday banquet. Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Rong felt faintly worried.
But there is no other way. He is stuck here in the study every day and has no time to contact the salesman. He can only ask Xiao Tao to go to the salesman and see if he can contact the Gong Jian brothers. If he can let them
It would be great to rush to the county seat before the birthday party. If not, then all my previous plans would be ruined.
Planning this matter in his mind, of course Zhao Rong could no longer read the knowledge in the book seriously. And his dazed look was just seen by the old gentleman. The old gentleman sighed again in his heart,
This kind of rich boy shouldn't come here to study. Anyway, he
They had no worries about food and drink, and had no intention of studying at all. I really shouldn't have agreed to teach such a child at that time, it was simply embarrassing myself. If I say this in the future, I don't know how many people will laugh at him for not being able to guarantee his future.
He actually taught such a child.
Thinking of this, the old gentleman was thankful in his heart. Fortunately, he had not mentioned this matter to anyone since he agreed to this errand. In the future, at worst, he would just push it aside and not admit it at all.
That's all. He said he had never seen Zhao Rong before.
In the opinion of the old man, there is no need to teach such a naughty child anything. This is just a stubborn stone, a piece of rotten wood, no matter how you carve it, it is useless. Instead of wasting time teaching a child with such qualifications, it is better to
Spend more time studying knowledge.
Seeing that he had finished reading the book in his hand, the old gentleman simply coughed, waking up Zhao Rong who was still in a daze from his thoughts. When Zhao Rong turned to look at the old gentleman,
Unexpectedly, I found that the old gentleman was also looking at me.
This is a phenomenon that rarely occurs. Normally, even if Zhao Rong turns his attention to the old gentleman, if the old gentleman doesn't ignore him, he will immediately glance at him and immediately look away, as if he sees himself.
It's like seeing something unclean. Zhao Rong has also experienced this phenomenon twice when the old man looks directly at himself without moving his eyes. Generally speaking, it only means one thing, that is, the old man
He needs to do something.
This old man's character is really weird. He claims to be Zhao Rong's teacher, but he never lets Zhao Rong call him teacher or master, and he doesn't need Zhao Rong to salute him every day. In fact, it is to avoid Zhao Rong getting in the morning
I bowed to him when I came, and the old gentleman made a point of coming later and later every time to take possession of the house.
Generally speaking, the old gentleman disdains seeing Zhao Rong. Occasionally, when he needs Zhao Rong to give him instructions or is looking for something, he will look at Zhao Rong like this, as if Zhao Rong should be there.
There were people waiting around him. This time, Zhao Rong was still very obedient. He immediately stood up and came to the old gentleman's side, looking at him with questioning eyes.
This is another rule of this old gentleman. Try not to talk in the study. He thinks that talking will disturb his thoughts, so Zhao Rong is forbidden to talk in the study. If he has anything to say, the old gentleman also said it.
He would say it, and Zhao Rong only had to do it, but there was no need for Zhao Rong to agree or Zhao Rong to respond.
Sure enough, just after Zhao Rong stood next to the old gentleman and gave a respectful half-salute, the old gentleman said: "Go to the top row behind the first bookshelf and find me a book with a cover that's already a bit long."
Damaged ancient books.”
At this point, the old gentleman seemed to be trying to remember something. The book was badly damaged and he basically didn’t know what the title was. When the old gentleman got into the mood, he would pick up a book like that.
I studied the book carefully for a while, but because it was so badly damaged, it was so fragmented that I couldn't even read the entire sentence.
