The housekeeper said that the head of the family was not here, and Zhao Shiyi's grandfather and father breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Neither of them had thought about how to say this at first, but now that they heard that the head of the family was not here, they seemed to get it.
A huge opportunity. If the head of the family is away, then we can't blame them for not getting things done.
After saying that, the two of them turned around and left. The housekeeper of the outer courtyard was a little stunned. He didn't know what the two of them were here for. But since it was nothing, why did you come here specially? But no matter what, he had to follow him respectfully.
Behind the two of them, send the two of them out.
As they walked out, the servants they met just now saluted the three of them again. This time, there were not only two elders from the clan, but also a steward from the outer courtyard. These servants saluted well.
It was even more joyful, and the voice was a few higher pitches than before.
In the sound of such respectful farewell, Zhao Shiyi's father and grandfather looked at each other, and their hearts were moved. It seems that the steward of the outer courtyard has a lot of power among these servants.
.Otherwise, why would these people work so hard to please this steward?
When the two of them came in just now, the scene they walked along was not like this. Indeed, the servants saluted them, but their voices were obviously not as loud as they are now, and the extent of their salutes was not as standard as it is now.
The two of them are not fools. Of course they can see the difference between the two. After a little thought, they will understand the truth. The two of them couldn't help but move in their hearts. They glanced at each other and understood the other's eyes.
meaning.
Zhao Shiyi's grandfather even winked at his son and asked him to speak. In fact, Zhao Shiyi's father also wanted his father to speak, but who makes his son old and who makes his mind quick?
Who makes others wink at you first, and who makes you silent while others start to stare at you.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and talk to the housekeeper very bluntly: "Butler, the weather is really nice today."
The housekeeper was also stunned. He was about to walk out of the courtyard. Why did this person suddenly say such a sentence? He looked up at the sky, and there were dark clouds in the sky. It looked like it was going to rain, but why did this person say that the weather was good?
.
You have to be so blind to tell lies with your eyes open, but he can't express what's in his heart. He can only bite the bullet and nod in response: "Yes, yes."
After saying this, the housekeeper felt embarrassed. What should I say? The weather is so nice. It's going to rain soon. I guess the seedlings in the field should be happy. But this is not their serious conversation. No one has the identity of these two people.
He didn't care about the seedlings in the ground and whether they needed raining or watering. Alas, this was really hard to say, so he could only nod and bow in agreement.
Seeing that after he said something, the housekeeper didn't say too much and didn't let him find the topic to continue talking. Zhao Shiyi's father also felt a little uncomfortable.
This butler is so incompetent at looking at each other that he even takes the initiative to talk to you. Why doesn't he know how to say a few more words and ask us, father and son, what's going on here? Will it make things difficult for you?
This man is no good, he is really not smart enough. I don’t know what the eldest nephew of the family owner thinks. If you use such a stupid person as a housekeeper, you are asking for trouble.
But there was no other way. Now that I had something to ask for, I had to bite the bullet and do it. If people didn't say anything, I could only say more by myself, so Zhao Shiyi's father cleared his throat again and said, "Ah, housekeeper."
, when the head of the family comes back, you must tell him that we, father and son, have made this trip."
He was also feeling awkward in his heart. It sounded awkward to him, and he felt uncomfortable saying it. He had never done anything like this before. If he had any requests in the past, of course he would ask for them directly, but it was like asking for help.
Still haven’t really done it.
Don't say that their family's current situation depends on the clan's weekly diary, but they really haven't said whose family they have asked for. Even though they are eating and using clan food, they don't need to ask for help.
Why are you asking for help?
This is why the Zhao family has a special situation. The family has a large number of idle people. Usually these people don't need to do anything, just study. If you have the ability, you can take the exam for merit. After passing the exam, you can take a higher position in the family.
With a high status, you get better resources. If you don't have the ability, you can only remain unknown for a lifetime. Of course, as a member of the Zhao family, you don't have to worry about food and drink, but don't think about higher requirements.
This situation is a rule passed down from our ancestors. No one complains. After all, it is a blessing to be able to live well without having to work. Naturally, there are exceptions here, that is, several families close to the direct branch, that
Naturally, the treatment will be better.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Shiyi really couldn't stand on the stage, he knew he was a prodigal. The family would be really disappointed, and their family's life would not be what it is now.
You must know that Zhao Shiyi’s grandfather was the biological brother of the family head. In that generation, he was also out to do things. With such a good opportunity, it is impossible not to make more money for his family. So in reality
On top of that, the family fortunes of the families close to the direct branch are not too thin.
The ancestors of the Zhao family left a lot of family property, which has been accumulated over generations. Although the burden is heavy, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it is all there. These family properties support the direct descendants and several families in their lives.
It's no problem to live a life that is much higher than that of the clan members.
This also caused Zhao Shiyi’s grandfather and father to never bend their noble waists and ask others to do something. If the son/grandson hadn’t encountered such a big problem today, the two of them would have
I would never think of trying to please others for such a humble thing.
The housekeeper over there was still surprised. He didn't know what the clan master meant by saying this. He could only follow the man's words and say: "Seventh master (that is, Zhao Shiyi's father's son)"
Rank), don’t worry, when the head of the family comes back, I will definitely report to the head of the family that you and the old man have been here."
He originally thought that his answer could reassure the other party, but who knew that just after he said this, the seventh master immediately said: "Then how will you report to my eldest nephew at that time?
"
At this time, the housekeeper of the outer courtyard was completely stupid. How should he report? He just said directly that the down-and-out seventh master and his father had been here. How else could he report? He didn't know these two
What are you here for? Besides, when I asked these two just now, they said they were fine. Now I have to ask myself how to report. (To be continued)
