Chapter 12: Cheer up
Hearing that his young master finally agreed to his proposal, Xiao Tao was of course overjoyed, he wished that the young master could clearly understand his situation and think of countermeasures. So when the young master over there said something, he nodded his head next to him to express his approval.
Zhao Rong was still thinking about his language, "In the next few days, when waiting for the second brother to reply to them, you have to try to see the specific situation in this courtyard." Which of those servants are faithful to us, and which are unreliable, we must find out first. ”
For the task assigned to him, Xiao Tao said that he must work hard to complete it. Now he has a general goal in mind, at least the mother-in-law who guards the door is definitely from the lady's side.
Here, Zhao Rong was still thinking about what he could do. "It's just that my time is now set by my mother, and I still have to go to school on time. But these days, I may test my gentleman for what he really did to teach me."
Hearing the young master mention his Confucian gentleman, Xiao Tao pursed his lips disdainfully, and then he cautiously reminded his young master: "Young master, then you should pay attention to proportions when you are tempted, don't let them be vigilant in advance." In case it is affected, the two palace young masters will be in trouble. ”
Zhao Rong still listened to Xiao Tao's reminder: "You're right. In the situation of our Zhao family, it is not easy for the second brother to send someone in. It's very difficult for them to meddle in our affairs later. I'll be careful these days so that they don't realize it in advance, we're already alert. so as not to turn back and meddle in this matter for the second brother, causing unnecessary difficulties. ”
Xiao Tao was very happy to see the young master cheering up, of course. He is full of energy now, so he wants to show off his skills and take a good look at the situation of the Zhao family. At the very least, now he and the young master can no longer be as blind as before, and just live their own lives wholeheartedly.
"Okay, young master. Tomorrow, I will try my best to contact that eldest brother and tell him about our situation, and I don't know when the news from the two palace young masters will come again. ”
Hearing Xiao Tao's words, Zhao Rong became interested, he just thought that it was very difficult and unbelievable for the second brother and the two of them to arrange a person to come to the Zhao family, and arrange for the main courtyard of the Zhao family's head of the family, and to be able to contact Xiao Tao smoothly. He had been bothering himself about things just now, so much so that he didn't think about anything else. Now listening to Xiao Tao mention this person, Zhao Rong's interest also came.
Maybe it was because he felt that the content of the conversation just now was too dull, or maybe he finally saw that his young master was in good spirits and was a little interested in other people, Xiao Tao was busy and told his young master about his acquaintance with Huo Lang.
After listening to Xiao Tao's narration, Zhao Rong was indeed very surprised. He really didn't expect that the person sent by the second brother and his two brothers would be so powerful, not only did he easily enter the Zhao family, but also came directly to the courtyard of the head of the family. It was very quickly established a good relationship with the steward, and he was even more well-informed.
After being a little stunned for a moment, Zhao Rong sighed softly, he really thought too little about it before. Also, no one has taught him how to cultivate his own power since he was a child, or told him the importance of being well-informed.
It can be said that Zhao Rong has been educated since he was a child, and the most important thing is filial piety. As for the rest, they all relied on Zhao Rong's own pondering, or those things that he had learned speciously from books. For Zhao Rong, being able to go out to the provincial capital a few days ago was the most important impact for him.
Not only because he has gone all the way, he has completely broken the worldview that he had established in the past, but he has finally broadened his horizons and understood what the real world is like. And more importantly, he met his second brother on this trip.
That is, because I met the two brothers and sisters, there are still people who remind themselves that they are in a bad situation.
And when he thinks of his current situation, Zhao Rong will inevitably think of his parents' attitude towards him. The thought of this made him feel a pang of discouragement.
Realizing that there was something wrong with his emotions, Zhao Rong hurriedly retracted his thoughts and no longer thought about why his biological parents could do such a black hand to his son. Solving the problem is the most important thing in the moment, and it is definitely not the time to feel sorry for yourself.
For safety reasons, Zhao Rong had to ask Xiao Tao: "Xiao Tao, how are you going to contact that big brother tomorrow? Have you figured out what reason you should find out the yard tomorrow? and where to find someone after you go out?"
Except for themselves, it is estimated that it is not easy for all the servants in their courtyard to go out. And there is only one destination for me to go out, and that is the school to learn from Confucianism. In fact, to really calculate it, Zhao Rong's time is more rigid than those servants are stipulated.
Every morning on time, he would go out to the Great Confucian's school and study with the Great Confucian. And it wasn't until late afternoon that he could return to the courtyard. Originally, he said that he was able to get out of the yard, but in fact, he was just able to see the scenery when he was on the road.
And if it was according to the time when he originally went to school, Zhao Rong still thought that he might be able to contact outsiders because he had the opportunity. Even the other servants could at least say a couple of words. But since he came back from the provincial capital, his mother has stipulated that he has become longer to study, and when he goes out, he can't see anyone else in the yard except for the rough handymen who are cleaning. It's hard for Zhao Rong to talk to other people.
So after thinking about it, Mr. Zhao felt that all the problems now seemed to be solved only by relying on Xiao Tao. Of course, he immediately began to care about the reason why Xiao Tao walked out of the yard tomorrow. After all, if there is no reasonable reason, the woman who guards the door will not let people go out at all.
Thinking of the janitor, Zhao Rong had to speak again to remind Xiao Tao: "I think our janitor is very problematic." Although she is respectful to me, many people have come to me to sue her before. said that she was too strict and didn't let people go out at all. ”
This was a long time ago, when Zhao Rong had just entered school. Of course, Zhao Rong knew about the orders given by his mother, but he never thought about how strict such an order would be.
