As the sun rose 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 that the young master would miss the time. But he soon figured it out.
, that old gentleman hasn’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 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The clothes were originally made to be larger and looser, so Zhao Rong was still able to tie them up.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
Attracted too many people's attention.
After taking care of themselves, Xiao Tao and Zhao Rong walked out of the small courtyard quietly. It was just as they thought. No one noticed anything wrong with them until they walked out of the courtyard.
It was normal. No one called out to stop them or let them leave.
The two people who came out of the small courtyard quickened their pace and quickly arrived at the side door. There was indeed a servant at the side door, but the old servant couldn't go to the birthday banquet to watch the fun today, so the man himself
I feel very unhappy. At this time,
He was lying on a recliner and looking at the sky, and didn't pay much attention to the movement at the side door. He just glanced at it with his peripheral vision and found that two boys were about to walk out of the side door, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
He didn't even get up and take another look.
Finding that there was a servant guarding the door, Zhao Rong was very nervous. He quickly turned his face to the other side to prevent the servant from seeing his face, and Xiao Tao also cleverly blocked Zhao Rong's side.
But they really thought too much. The servant didn't even look at it or turn his head, and just let them go out.
After passing this level, both of them breathed a deep sigh of relief. The clothes they were wearing were a little wet with sweat, but they didn't care about it now. They walked quickly through the path and came directly to the main entrance.
The door of the small garden of the elder's house opened as soon as it was pushed, and Xiao Tao walked into the small garden first.
What came into view were various plants and a patch of sand. Xiao Tao listened carefully and found that the garden was quiet, with no movement except for the occasional chirping of birds. He quickly turned around and motioned for his young master to follow, and the two of them walked quickly.
Walking on the gravel path, bypassing some green plants, and heading straight to the middle of the small garden.
In the area in the middle of this small garden, there are some large rocks stacked up. The rocks are not stacked to look like a rockery, but are just flatly stacked in two or three layers. The tallest rock is no more than 10 meters away.
A distance of more than one meter.
This is a place for the boys to practice climbing. For safety reasons, the rocks are not dangerous and are very stable. Xiao Tao made an agreement with the salesman at that time, and specifically mentioned that the two of them would meet in this small garden.
, taking these rocks in the middle zone as the specific location.
These rocks are located in the center of the small garden. It is not very far from the door, and most people will not go there on purpose. And although the rocks on those layers are not high, they can be regarded as the commanding heights in the small garden.
If they meet there, it will be convenient for them to observe the surrounding environment.
The master and servant Zhao Rong didn't care about anything else, and walked quickly towards the rocks. From a distance, they saw that the layers were piled with large rocks, and no other people were seen. Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao felt relieved.
.It seems that they are in a hurry, and looking at the sun in the sky, we know that they are still a little away from the agreed time.
When Zhao Rong sat on the highest rock, Xiao Tao patrolled around with vigilance. The small garden was not big, so he quickly walked around in the garden before running back to his young master.
Xiao Tao said breathlessly: "Master, don't worry, I just walked around the garden, and there is really no one here, nor any children."
It seems that as Zhao Rong analyzed, no one will come here to disturb them today. Just as Zhao Rong and his servant are already in place, waiting for the two brothers Gong Jian to meet, we move the timeline a few steps forward.
Day. Let’s go back to the day when Xiao Tao handed the invitation to the salesman, and then follow the salesman’s perspective to see how things develop.
After the salesman got the two blank invitations, he didn't open them. He hurried back to his room, carefully placed the two invitations at the bottom of the box, and then piled other clothes on top.
The salesman carefully covered it up.
After doing this, he straightened his clothes and walked out of the room. He quickly came to the steward and reported the results of his inspection in the yard all morning. Of course, he did not go on inspection. In fact, he used this time to
Waiting for Xiao Tao near Zhao Rong's yard. What happened next took the two of them a lot of time. He had no choice but to use the excuse that he had been patrolling in the yard.
The steward was very busy today and didn't care whether what the salesman said was true or false, but at least after getting along with him these days, he still had great confidence in the salesman. He knew that the salesman was very capable and popular among the servants.
I was very happy in the middle. In addition, he also did a good job in the work assigned to the salesman, so the manager was very satisfied with the salesman.
Instead of looking into what the salesman had done all morning, the manager believed the salesman's words and assigned all other tasks to the salesman, while the manager went about his own business.
