Hearing the merchant ask himself so bitterly, as if he had encountered some big problem that could not be solved, and was seeking his own opinion, the four stewards were of course very satisfied.

But he didn't intend to meddle in this matter, after all, in his opinion, it was a trivial matter. Even if he didn't want to get involved with anyone or anything beside the so-called young master, the matter between the merchant and Xiao Tao did not involve the young master himself, nor did it involve the Zhao family, it was just a trivial matter the size of a sesame mung bean between the two of them.

"Then what else can you do, since you promised people, of course you have to do it. Besides, other people's children left their hometown when they were a few years old, and now they just want to go back, please help him to make a filial piety and pay tribute to his parents' graves. Are you still going to shirk it?"

The fourth steward still cares about his image very much, although in his heart, he feels that this matter really doesn't matter, and if he changes the position of the merchant, he thinks he won't do such a thankless thing.

But now, it's not that you have to solve this matter yourself, but that you stand on the commanding heights to guide other people's mazes. In this way, I can stand on the moral high ground and guide this matter.

Filial piety is the biggest problem, and no one dares to raise any objections. Even if you prevent others from doing their filial piety, it is a crime in itself. So of course the four stewards won't say that it doesn't matter, you can not do this matter and so on. On the contrary, he is a righteous and awe-inspiring instruct to the merchant that he must do what he says.

The words of the fourth steward, of course, the merchant had long thought that he would say so. As soon as he heard him say this, the merchant immediately made a respectful appearance, but at the same time, the next moment, he showed a very embarrassed look.

At this time, the merchant was still muttering: "If I knew that it was such trouble, I would definitely not recognize this little peach." Hey, I haven't been back to my hometown for a few years, so I have to go back to my hometown for him. It's really troublesome, I knew I would never recognize him. ”

The fourth steward generously let the merchant be by his side, and kept muttering these words with a bitter face. In his opinion, hearing the merchant complain like this, he became in a very good mood. Maybe people are like this, seeing others in pain and getting into trouble, anyway, watching the fire from the other side of the river, they have a certain sense of superiority, and their souls will get a certain satisfaction.

So the four stewards are like this, smiling while sipping tea, while listening to the merchant's distressed muttering, he did not have a trace of disgust or displeasure, but the mood index is getting higher and higher.

may feel that he is almost coaxing the atmosphere, and after muttering for a while, the merchant touched his head and gently patted his forehead, "Oh, why am I so confused, I actually muttered about these troublesome things in front of the steward." Heck, there's a lot of people in charge, and they don't care about trivial things like me. I will step down first, and I will surely come early tomorrow morning to listen to the steward's orders. ”

At this time, the four stewards who were in a good mood, of course, didn't care if the merchant was still selling stupidity in front of him, he waved his hand happily, signaling that the merchant could leave. Although he didn't say anything, the emotion he exuded was very happy.

The reason why the merchant put so much effort into acting in a play was to give the steward a general impression in advance. That is, he and Xiao Tao are fellow villagers, and it is normal for the two to communicate with each other. Moreover, the merchant used his own deliberate pretending to be a foolish incident to ease the steward's wariness of their private interactions.

The merchant believes that through the one-man show he performed today, in the future, if someone says something small in front of the four stewards, saying that he has a private relationship with Xiao Tao or passes something, he will not think about the bad side of the steward. I believe that the steward will think that if he sees this thing today, it will be of great benefit to himself and Xiao Tao.

As for the next, of course, the merchant is trying to find a way to let Xiao Tao know that he is back. To this end, he certainly thought of several ways, the most convenient of which was, of course, to deliver the message through other servants.

Even if Zhao Rong's courtyard is relatively closed, there are still one or two servants in their courtyard who will often go out, and the janitor is one of them.

The merchant had inquired about the situation in Zhao Rong's yard before, and naturally knew very well that their janitor should be from his wife's place, so he had to frequently go in and out of Zhao Rong's courtyard and his wife's yard every day.

If you find the janitor and ask her to pass a message to Xiao Tao, she will say that she is back, thinking that this is the most direct and quick way, but since he already knows that the janitor is a lady, the merchant does not plan to use this way.

Although there is no guarantee, the janitor is vigilant like this. Even if this servant of herself said a word to Xiao Tao, it would make her feel that she needed to report to her wife.

But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, who knows the specific temperament of this janitor, and no matter how sure she is, this janitor will inevitably attract the attention of others if she shows a sentence at will. This road still doesn't work.

Of course, the merchant does not want to use this method of directly coming to the door. After all, he already knew that the janitor was a lady, and there was such a big eyeliner, and if he went to the door again, wouldn't he be in the net.

And to block Young Master Zhao Rong, the merchant didn't think this was a good choice. After all, Young Master Zhao Rong was followed by a bunch of people, even if Xiao Tao was really following him, if he bumped into it recklessly, he might not be able to say a few words to Young Master Zhao Rong, and he would be directly pushed away by other people.

However, thinking of Young Master Zhao Rong's daily itinerary, the merchant felt that he could do something in this regard. After all, he knew very well when this Young Master Zhao Rong would return to the courtyard. And between his yard and his study, no matter what, there is a certain distance, as long as he moves his hands and feet a little in the process, it is estimated that it is not very difficult to let Xiao Tao know the news of his return.

After thinking about this, the merchant immediately returned to his room, he carefully cleaned himself, and contacted the people he knew next to him to contact each other. Seeing that the time was almost up, the merchant shook and walked towards the place he had in mind.
