Xiao Tao really didn't want to see the young master's melancholy expression. She remembered that when she was a child, she saw the young master who had received education from his wife for the first time. After just one glance, Xiao Tao was stunned. He never thought
However, the lively and active young master could one day be so quiet that even if someone were walking next to him, they would not hear any movement from him.
So Xiaotao later took on the responsibility of teaching the young master's behavior and reminding the young master so that he would have no chance to make mistakes and would not be educated by his wife.
At that time, the young master was so quiet, huddled in his heart, as if the whole world around him had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that the young master who was originally like a little sun suddenly turned into a black hole in the universe, Xiao Tao's heart was deeply touched. She made up her mind in her heart to avoid the young master from showing such emotions again. That kind of despair.
, the emotion that seemed to be isolated from the world, and that seemed to swallow everything, Xiao Tao did not want to appear in the young master again.
So now, Xiao Tao is still trying to persuade her sincerely: "Master, if nothing else, considering Miss Cousin's age, most of the young people around his age have already had children of their own, and they haven't had any children recently.
People need to fill a house. There is no way, the cousin can only be a concubine, it is impossible to be a normal wife."
Zhao Rong heard these words very clearly, but after he understood it, he felt even more depressed. Indeed, as Xiao Tao said, it is indeed impossible for my cousin to have a suitable partner at his age. But when he thought about it,
With the complicated situation at the Seventeenth Uncle's house, he always felt that if his cousin went to the Seventeenth House, she would be jumping into a pit of fire.
Thinking again that this was his mother's decision, Zhao Rong felt a little breathless at this time, as if he was about to watch his cousin being sold into the pit of fire, and no matter how he struggled and thought beside him, he could not shake this feeling in the slightest.
kind of result.
In the end, Zhao Rong could only sigh and asked with some reluctance: "Can't we change to another family? Does it have to be an uncle from the Seventeenth Clan? He is involved in everything from food, drink, prostitution and gambling, so what about my cousin?
He is also a smart and kind-hearted person, and he is not compatible with Uncle Seventeenth Clan at all."
This time, it was Xiao Tao's turn and she didn't know how to answer. Indeed, the cousin is old and does not have any financial background. Under such conditions, it is of course impossible to be a good lady. However, as a young lady,
There is still no problem with me.
After all, who cares about a concubine’s natal family? Besides, even if the cousin is over the age for marriage, he can still have children. In this way, if you find an ordinary family to be someone’s concubine, the cousin
That's totally fine too.
There is no need to tie Miss Cousin and Master Seventeen together, but this is Madam's decision to punish Miss Cousin. Of course it is not good for him to say such things to the young master.
But at the same time, Xiao Tao also knew that even though the young master's anger had weakened a lot now, he still persisted and waited for his answer. If he didn't give him a reasonable result, the young master would still not be reconciled.
Just when Xiao Tao was struggling with how to convince the young master, the door of Zhao Rong's room suddenly opened with a bang. Both Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao in the room were startled, and both turned their heads to look at the door.
.They did not notice that the expressions of the two people at this time were exactly the same.
When they saw clearly the person who pushed open the door and walked in, the two of them were startled at first. Then Zhao Rong immediately stood up from the chair, walked quickly to the person, bowed and saluted, and said more:
She called out respectfully: "Mother."
The person who came was none other than Zhao Rong's mother, Mrs. Zhao. At this time, he still had a loving smile on his face, as if he tolerated his naughty children. He looked at Zhao Rong standing in front of him. It was as if Zhao Rong was still
A child of three or four years old who was not very sensible was having a tantrum.
Mrs. Zhao first reached out and patted Zhao Rong on the shoulder, and then said: "In a blink of an eye, Rong'er has grown so big. I haven't come to Rong'er's yard for a long time, and I don't know how these servants take care of him."
Have you tried your best?"
Hearing his mother's caring words, Zhao Rong couldn't help but bend his waist even more. He hurriedly replied: "Mom, everything is fine with me. The servants are taking good care of me. Thank you very much, mother, for taking care of me."
Seeing Zhao Rong's serious and respectful salute, Mrs. Zhao walked to the main seat in a dignified manner and sat down. He smiled and looked at Zhao Rong who was still standing next to him, patted the seat next to him, and asked Zhao Rong to sit down.
He went over and said, "Rong'er, you have just recovered from your illness. You need to rest more. Sit down quickly."
Hearing his mother's call, Zhao Rong responded quickly, walked over and sat next to Mrs. Zhao. Zhao Rong, who was sitting on the chair, still straightened his body respectfully, with his head half lowered, as if waiting for Mrs. Zhao's call.
Teaching.
Seeing his appearance, Mrs. Zhao burst out laughing: "Rong'er has indeed grown up and become sensible. If you are so well-behaved and polite, I have taught you these years in vain."
Next to him, Zhao Rong quickly said, "Thanks to the mother's teachings, the child still barely understands the principles of life. In the future, the child will need more guidance from the mother so that the child will not take the wrong path."
These words were said very smoothly, as if they had been said thousands of times. Indeed, every time Zhao Rong was asked by his wife to teach him, he would always admit his mistakes and promise that he would conscientiously correct his mistakes in the future and never make them again.
Therefore, Zhao Rong spoke this kind of words extremely smoothly.
Mrs. Zhao seemed completely unable to hear that Zhao Rong's conversation was too fast and standardized. She still nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Before I came in, you and Xiao Tao were talking in the room.
What?"
Mrs. Zhao's question made Zhao Rong's heart suddenly lift. He instinctively felt that his mother's question was not easy to answer. If he told the truth, he and Xiaotao were discussing his cousin's marriage.
So, is there any suspicion of questioning the mother’s decision?
However, if he wants to lie now and say that he and Xiao Tao are talking about other things, will Xiao Tao, a little spy, expose him?
Seeing that Zhao Rong hesitated and did not answer her immediately, Mrs. Zhao did not pay too much attention. Instead, she turned her head and looked at Xiao Tao, who had been standing beside her with a respectful look, and asked directly: "Since Rong'er
It’s hard to answer, so Xiaotao, you’d better tell me.”
Following Mrs. Zhao's light words, Zhao Rong immediately thought: It's over. These two words. (To be continued)
