Sure enough, the old man reached out and picked up the invitation on the table. After opening it for a moment, the old man closed the invitation and put it back on the table. Then he raised his head and asked, "Is your fourth elder planning a birthday party for his 70th birthday?"
This sentence is a question, but it also has a very affirmative tone. Rather than saying that the old gentleman is confused about the purpose of the invitation, it is better to say that he is more confused about why the head of the Zhao family specially sent someone to send such an invitation. After all, in
In his opinion, this incident involving the Zhao family
He doesn't interfere with the love of the Zhao family, so there is no need for him to attend the birthday banquet of the elder of the Zhao family. How come the head of the family has always been nice before and knows that he doesn't want to talk to other people in the Zhao family, so why does he go out of his way to act abnormally today?
How about sending such an invitation yourself?
As for how the housekeeper of the Zhao family's outer courtyard explained to the old gentleman the purpose of sending the invitation and the meaning of the family master, Zhao Rong could no longer hear it at this time. He was completely stunned behind the bookshelf. He didn't want to
I know what kind of thoughts I have in my mind. For the time being, my mind is completely empty, or in other words, it is a mess.
At that time, Zhao Rong's eyes were a little dark. He didn't know how he was calm and still stood there without fainting. In fact, when the old gentleman picked up the invitation and opened it to check, Zhao Rong had a bad feeling in his heart.
It was already very intense. Basically, he could hear his heart pounding. A strong sense of uneasiness attacked him, and even surrounded him from head to toe.
The words that the old gentleman asked immediately after were like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Zhao Rong had stopped thinking. He didn't even know what it was, but he insisted on himself so that he could still stand here.
Didn't pass out.
This can't be blamed on Zhao Rong's huge reaction. Now he suddenly realized why he felt slightly uneasy when he looked at the two invitations Xiao Tao got back. It was not because of worry at all. I don't know Gong Jian
The worry about the two brothers' schedule was the sixth feeling that something was a little off about the two invitations themselves.
Maybe he didn't even realize that when he picked up the invitation, he was already doubting whether such an invitation could let the invitee know where he should go and what kind of activities he should attend?
Yes, now Zhao Rong finally realized that there was something wrong when he saw the two invitations. The invitations should not be just blank with nothing written on them. What should be written on the invitations?
When, where, and what kind of activities you participate in.
Just like the old gentleman immediately asked the intention of the person who sent the invitation after reading the invitation, it should have written in it the activities held by the Zhao family, the names of the invitees and other information.
Although Zhao Rong does not know what is specifically written in it, it is obvious that people who read the invitation can immediately understand the destination and time of the Zhao family's event. This will make it easier for the person who receives the invitation to decide what they will do.
I won't attend this party.
Zhao Rong, whose eyes were darkened, could no longer hear the sounds around him. He didn't know how long he had been standing behind the bookshelf until the old man got impatient and walked behind the bookshelf and glared at Zhao Rong fiercely.
Rong glanced at him, then squeezed him aside, reached out on the bookshelf, and picked up the book he wanted. Only then did Zhao Yongcheng fall into the situation where he could see nothing, hear nothing, and feel nothing.
, woke up with a start.
After seeing the old gentleman get the book, he turned around and left without even looking at Zhao Rong. Zhao Rong could only drag his somewhat stiff limbs, slowly move back to the desk, and sit down slowly.
After taking it off, Zhao Rong could no longer see the desktop and books in front of him, and his head was only thinking about what to do. What to do next?
He didn't know when the outer courtyard housekeeper left, and he didn't know whether the old gentleman had specifically agreed to attend the Fourth Elder's birthday. It was as if he remembered something, and Zhao Rong turned around to look, but
I found that the invitation that was supposed to be on the table had disappeared and was no longer there at all.
At this time, Zhao Rong was even more at a loss. He suddenly remembered that since the old gentleman had received the invitation, he could definitely find a chance to take a look at what was written on the old gentleman's invitation. Then simulate
With those words written on the two blank invitations Xiaotao took back, the two palace eldest brothers could successfully enter the Zhao family.
But who would have thought that when he had just had such an idea, when he turned around to look over, the invitation had disappeared. As if God was against him, the little hope that Zhao Rong had just raised suddenly disappeared again.
It went out.
He continued to look at the table blankly, as if he saw the real insights of life contained in the regular wood grains. His whole state was very abnormal. That is, there was no one else in the study, and this old man
The husband's attention was already stingy with him, so no one noticed Zhao Rong's gaffe.
He was in this state until after lunch, so that Zhao Rong didn't know what he had for lunch. The servant who served him didn't even understand why the young master was so lost today. Just look at the young master's lunch.
When eating, he didn't eat a single bite of the food, but kept plucking the bowl of white rice into his mouth. It can be seen how absent-minded the young master is, or how out of state he is.
That is to say, these servants were not close to Zhao Rong, so even though Zhao Rong was acting abnormally, no one came forward to ask him what was wrong. This continued until the afternoon, when Zhao Rong couldn't bear it anymore, and he still mustered up the courage.
, slowly walked to the old gentleman’s desk.
At this time, the old man was immersed in the business of restoring ancient books, so Zhao Rong's action of standing up did not actually disturb him at all. Until Zhao Rong stood by his desk for a long time, the old man
Only then did I realize that there seemed to be something extra beside my desk.
When he raised his head, he found Zhao Rongzheng staring at him with stern eyes, which startled the old man. But soon he realized how could this child be so naughty, and his anger suddenly rose, "What are you doing?
"The old gentleman asked impatiently.
This stern roar almost wiped away the courage that Zhao Rong had just worked hard to accumulate, but fortunately, in the end, he persisted. (To be continued)
