Now Zhao Rong is almost jumping up. He is so happy. He has never thought that this old gentleman can actually open such a convenient door for him. Now there is no need for him to look for it by himself.
Why did he pretend to be sick and leave the study secretly? The old gentleman had already found a reason for him, so he could just leave now.
Although there are still some ambiguities in what the old man just said, at least Zhao Rong didn't understand why the old man said that and why he seemed to insist that he take him to the birthday banquet. In fact, the birthday banquet itself was not possible at all.
It was impossible for him to participate. The old gentleman probably misunderstood something. But Zhao Rong did not want to explain.
As for the old man, he was impatient to listen to anyone's explanation. Once, the old man asked Zhao Rong to find a book for him, but Zhao Rong rummaged through all the books on the shelf and couldn't find the old man.
The book that the gentleman mentioned. Zhao Rong had no choice but to go back to the old gentleman and tell him the situation. But the old gentleman refused to admit it and said angrily: "I just handed over that book yesterday."
If you put it there, how could it disappear?"
The implication is that the old gentleman suspects that Zhao Rong has messed with the books on his bookshelf. You must know that most of the books in this study belong to the old gentleman, and only a small part of the books are for Zhao Rong.
.These include literacy books for enlightenment, as well as simple books such as the Four Books and Five Classics, etc. These are things that the old gentleman does not want to see or encounter.
In the old man's mind, he believed that his study should be filled with books that are particularly profound and rare. Moreover, the old man believed that he had very strong control over books. He remembered the location of each book, so Zhao
Rong told him that the book he wanted was not on the bookshelf. In fact, in the old man's opinion, Zhao Rong was challenging his authority.
Zhao Rong still remembers this incident. When the book was finally found, it was on the old gentleman's desk.
Obviously, after reading this book the night before, the old gentleman did not put it back on the bookshelf, but just put it on the desk. However, the old gentleman's memory has been confused, and he can't remember clearly what he didn't do.
It was clear. But in the end, the old gentleman did not admit this. He insisted on saying that one of the servants must have done it, and he firmly did not think that he had remembered it wrong.
So after that incident, Zhao Rong has learned not to explain or defend anything to the old man. Now the old man in front of him has some prejudice against him, but Zhao Rong doesn't care about this. After all, he will soon
He was about to leave the Zhao family, and this old man would never teach him again. Although he had never taught him, seeing that the old man was so old and devoted to learning, Zhao Rong did not want to break up with him too much.
What the hell.
So Zhao Rong stood up and just said softly: "Sir, I'll go right away." Then he put away the books on the table and put them back on the bookshelf. This is not what the old gentleman taught Zhao Rong to do.
The thing is, Zhao Rong is accustomed to cherishing every book. It is very rare for him to learn knowledge.
Seeing Zhao Rong's actions, the old gentleman thought with all his heart that he had seen through this kid's conspiracy. Seeing that he couldn't continue acting now, this kid could only go to the birthday banquet obediently. He thought
Here, the old gentleman couldn't help but snorted in his heart. Fortunately, he had a lot of thoughts, otherwise he would have been tricked by this kid, and his face would have been disgraced.
Fortunately, he is still focused on repairing ancient books, so he doesn't pay much attention to Zhao Rong. Instead, he quickly comes to his desk again and enters what he has been working on these past few days.
Repair work.
Zhao Rong didn't make much noise. Before leaving, he politely bowed to the old gentleman and then slowly exited the study. The old gentleman didn't care at all. When did Zhao Rong
What Zhao Rong was doing, or what he was doing, had nothing to do with him.
When Zhao Rong had slipped out of the study, Xiao Tao, who was hiding aside, immediately walked carefully to his side. Xiao Tao did not stay with those friends today. In fact, in the past two days, in order to let the servants get used to it, Xiao Tao had not been with him.
They stayed together. Instead, he stayed in another wing room, where he could directly see the door of the study.
This was originally the place where the old gentleman's servant who served tea stayed, but today the servant had also gone to watch the fun, so now there is no one here. Xiao Tao has been staying here, staring at it without blinking.
At the door of the study room.
And from just now, when the sun was rising higher and higher, Xiao Tao was also a little anxious. He didn't know why the young master stayed in the study for so long. He was a little worried whether the young master would miss the time. But soon he also
I figured it out. The old gentleman hadn't come to the study yet. Who should I ask for leave as a young master? So soon, Xiao Tao began to pray from the bottom of her heart that the old gentleman would come to the study soon.
Fortunately, he saw the old gentleman and finally appeared in the yard. As he slowly moved to the study step by step, Xiao Taozi's heart became even more nervous. He kept shouting in his heart: Hurry up!
Come on, why are you walking so slowly?
Finally seeing the old gentleman disappear at the door of the study, Xiao Tao knew that the young master would probably come out soon. But Xiao Tao didn't know if the young master could deceive the old gentleman by pretending to be sick.
At this time, he had already moved close to the door of the study, keeping his eyes on the study, fearing that if there was any noise and attracting others, he would rush forward to cover his young master.
But it was obvious that Xiao Tao was overthinking, and what he was worried about did not happen. Soon he found that the study door opened again, and this time it was his young master who came out. Xiao Tao was so happy that he immediately walked out quietly.
room, and quickly came to his young master's side.
Since it was so easy to see Xiao Tao, Zhao Rong immediately reached out to him and asked for the servant's clothes that Xiao Tao had hidden. After getting the clothes, Zhao Rong quickly put them on him. Although they were a bit too small, fortunately the servant's clothes were
The clothes were originally made to be larger and looser, so Zhao Rong was still able to tie them up. This time, the two of them seemed to have suddenly become two young men. When they walked around in the yard, they should not
