Zhao Rong 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 to say, there was no one else in the study, and this person
The old gentleman's attention was already stingy at all, 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. He had some difficulties, but still stubbornly opened his mouth and said: "First, sir, this morning
Where is the invitation sent by that person, can I take a look?"
Zhao Rong was afraid that he could not withstand the pressure of the old man, so he simply opened his mouth and explained his purpose clearly. He was afraid that if the old man yelled at him again, he would not be able to say a complete sentence.
Hearing that Zhao Rong wanted to see his invitation, the old gentleman was stunned for a moment. He never thought that this little guy had the courage to run to him for such an insignificant thing. After thinking about it,
, the anger in his heart did not weaken, but became even hotter.
He just couldn't figure it out. Could it be that this kid's brain was mushy? He paid great attention to insignificant things. It was really difficult for him to learn something. Didn't he know that he should just stay in the study room?
Are you quiet? How difficult it is for me to tolerate him staying in the same study room with me and letting him be influenced by my own culture. In other words, it is such a rare thing. How come this child doesn't know how to cherish it at all?
After thinking about this, the old man became even more angry. He wanted to slap the table, but didn't want to put down the rare book in his hand. In the end, he could only glare at Zhao Rong twice. Zhao Rong stared straight back.
After taking two steps back, the old gentleman said angrily: "What invitations are you looking at? I sent them back."
Zhao Rong was at a loss when he heard the old gentleman's answer. He originally thought that the invitation was still in the old gentleman's hand, so there was at least a certain chance that he would be able to see what was written in the invitation. But he didn't.
Thinking of receiving such news, this old gentleman actually returned the invitation. That someone could return the invitation was simply beyond Zhao Rong's knowledge.
Perhaps because he understood the incredible meaning in Zhao Rong's eyes, the old man's tone was still very bad, but he still said, "What? Is there anything strange about this? I am dedicated to learning, and I don't have any knowledge at all."
Time to take part in this mess."
At this time, Zhao Rong completely understood that the old gentleman had indeed returned the invitation. He had not originally planned to participate in these activities of the Zhao family, so naturally he was unwilling to accept the invitation. After thinking about this clearly, Zhao Rong
His heart seemed to have stopped beating, and he had lost his vitality. His whole body seemed to have shrunk all of a sudden, and his figure was a little stooped. He slowly walked backwards and walked towards his desk.
Zhao Rong really didn't expect that after he mustered up so much courage, overcame his hesitation for so long, and finally asked, he would get such a result. He couldn't tell whether he was more disappointed or anxious now.
If not, you should still worry about what to do next.
Seeing Zhao Rong wilting like an eggplant beaten by frost, the old gentleman felt a little strange, but then he remembered something and understood. It is estimated that this child has a young mind and wants to join in the fun, so he cares
Will I attend this grand banquet of their Zhao family?
After thinking about this clearly and seeing the child's appearance, the old man wondered in his heart, is this child planning to let him take him to this banquet? But it shouldn't be, this child is obviously from the Zhao family.
, and he is also the direct son of the head of the family, otherwise the family would not be willing to use these many ancient books and favorable conditions to trick him into teaching his children.
Although after he came, the head of the family also said that he just wanted the child to be influenced by his side, and there was no need to teach him anything. But at least, this child is also the son of the head of the Zhao family. If he
If I didn't take him to this banquet, he wouldn't be able to attend. In that case, the head of the Zhao family would be really strange. Thinking this in his heart, the old gentleman looked at Zhao Rong with a softer look.
But then, the old man's mind moved. Could it be that this child had some scheming to bring himself, the master, in front of everyone, and then increase his own worth? In a big family like the Zhao family, there are many intrigues.
Something must have happened. Although this kid looks young and has always been very dull, he might actually have such a scheming mind.
Thinking of this, the rare tenderness in the old gentleman's eyes disappeared. He glanced at Zhao Rong coldly, and then said: "Okay, I don't want to get involved in your Zhao family's affairs. As for that...
I will not attend the banquet either. If you want to go that day, just go directly."
This old gentleman obviously didn't know that Zhao Rong would not participate in these special activities of the Zhao family. And the head of the Zhao family had no intention of wanting him to show up in front of everyone.
