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.
The shopkeeper mentally calculated the several tasks assigned to him by the steward. One of them was to report to the steward of the outer courtyard about the number of servants in the courtyard who could be called to help on the day of the birthday banquet.
This matter was brought up by the salesman and he planned to complete it immediately. The most important thing was that he was also a little worried about the invitations, and the housekeeper of the outer courtyard should naturally have the invitations sent out for the Zhao family birthday banquet this time. He only needed to look at the invitations.
If they look the same as the two that Xiaotao handed him, the salesman will feel completely at ease.
So soon, the salesman came to the yard of an outside housekeeper. After waiting for the waiter to report, he was directly taken to the study by the waiter. After all, the work he reported was related to the birthday banquet of the Zhao family.
Regarding the matter, the housekeeper of the outer courtyard was obviously still very busy, writing and drawing at the desk.
After the salesman stepped forward and explained clearly what the salesman asked him to report, the housekeeper of the outer courtyard hesitated for a long time, then took out another notebook from the table and recorded what the salesman reported in it. Then the housekeeper stood next to him
Write and calculate, as if calculating, the servants used that day
Is it enough? Taking this opportunity, the housekeeper of the outer courtyard did not ask the salesman to retreat. Originally, after the salesman had nothing to do, he should have left on his own, but he did not. The salesman stood there quietly, even cautiously.
He raised his head and scanned the desk of the housekeeper of the outer courtyard carefully.
Soon, the salesman found his target. Under several other books, most of the invitations were exposed. Those invitations seemed to be of no use. Anyway, they were piled up in a messy way, and there were also piles of invitations on top.
There are other things on the desk. It can be seen how busy the head of the outer courtyard is these days, and the desk has not been tidied up.
Although only half of the invitation was exposed, it was enough for the salesman. From the majority of the pattern salesman, he could tell that the picture on the invitation was the same as the one Xiaotao gave him. This
For a moment, the salesman was completely relieved. As long as the invitation was genuine, this matter would be much easier to handle.
So before the housekeeper from the outer courtyard noticed that he was still staying here, the salesman carefully exited the study without making any noise. When the boy in the yard saw the salesman exiting, he didn't think much.
I just felt that he had finished reporting his work and was about to leave.
Without anyone stopping him, the salesman left the housekeeper's yard and went to do other things. He had to hurry up today and finish other work quickly so that he could squeeze out time in the afternoon or evening.
At that time, I asked the manager for a leave and saw if I could go out and send the two invitations to the two young masters.
While the salesman was busy working, the Gong Jian brothers who were in the inn were not idle. In fact, around noon, the waiter suddenly sent over a post, which directly stated that it was sent to Gong Jurenshou.
inside.
When Gong Jian received such a post, he was still stunned for a moment. He never imagined that the first post he received after becoming a civil servant was actually from an inn in such a remote small county.
Gong Yu was also very curious at this time and kept waiting for his eldest brother to open the post and see the content. Although he was always surprised that someone would recognize the two brothers here, especially his eldest brother.
He is a newly promoted candidate, but he is more curious as to why this person sent this post.
Seeing that his second brother was so anxious, Gong Jian immediately opened the post and looked at what was written there. Soon after reading a few lines, the two brothers looked at each other, feeling very emotional in their hearts.
My elder brother's old acquaintance is indeed very powerful in this county.
It's no wonder that they would express such emotion. After all, they stayed in this inn for only one night. Although they had deliberately exposed their whereabouts before and deliberately asked all the bosses and waiters in the inn about the salesman's name.
The news is that through them, I can tell the peddler that I have arrived at the inn.
However, the two brothers were very tight-lipped about the identity of the two brothers and did not disclose any information at all.
