Chapter 43: Miscellaneous
For not being able to see that Young Master Zhao Rong with his own eyes, he only glanced at it from a distance, and the merchant was a little dissatisfied in his heart. In his opinion, he did a decent job on this mission, but the only pity was that he didn't personally contact that Young Master Zhao Rong.
After all, through the mouth of a third person to convey the words, the merchant really did not have much expectation of Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao. After all, looking at their previous performance, it can be seen that these two people have thought too little about the things around them, and they have no precautionary mentality, so that they now fall into such a difficult situation without knowing anything.
So the merchant was a little worried, and he didn't know if Xiao Tao had it, so he conveyed his words to the young master of his family completely. Even he was a little worried about whether Xiao Tao would express some problems in the process of conveying, but in terms of the complicated situation of the Zhao family, this is all he can do in front of him.
After all, no matter how anxious and worried he was, he had no way to meet that Young Master Zhao Rong directly. Now that I think about it, that young master's schedule is really tight. The young master went to the academy in the morning a little later than the servants of them, and he came back in the evening even later than they got off work.
Seeing the purse on the table, Gong Yu certainly couldn't wait to open it. But he saw that his eldest brother did not speak, so he forcibly suppressed his impulse, stabilized his emotions and still sat at the table, waiting for his eldest brother's reaction.
Fortunately, soon, Gong Jian picked up the purse on the table. However, he found that the purse had been sewn with a needle and thread. Thinking of Zhao Rong's situation in the Zhao family, he also somewhat understood why this purse would be sewn to death with needles and threads.
After all, judging from Zhao Rong's situation in the Zhao family, the Zhao family is full of malice towards him, so it is a purse without a seal, so if you let others pass it on, it is estimated that Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao will not be so relieved. Even if they are facing a merchant, they can't be so careless and completely relaxed.
But now Gong Jian didn't show any strange looks, but put the purse into his arms. Then he and Gong Yu carefully inquired about the situation of the Zhao family.
After learning that Zhao Rong does not have any other situation now, he just needs to go to the school to study if he goes out early and returns late. And Xiao Tao has now returned to the courtyard, thinking that the two of them have come together again, and their ability to deal with the external environment can also increase, after all, they now know what kind of danger they are in.
Of course, it was inevitable that Gong Jian would carefully inquire about the current situation of the Zhao family. But the merchant knew less about this, and what he could know was what his old friend had told him. "The Zhao family's business has shrunk very much in recent years, except for the county seat, the rest of the business has basically closed. The Zhao family was originally looking forward to Zhao Rong's uncle being able to revitalize the family business, after all, before his uncle appeared, he was a relatively mediocre family head for several generations. ”
So when there was such an amazing genius as Uncle Zhao Rong, everyone in the Zhao family was overjoyed from top to bottom. They all felt that the Zhao family should go up, after all, after those generations of mediocre families, and there were such strange ancestral teachings as their Zhao family, so if there was no kind of wise and decisive head of the family to lead the Zhao family, the Zhao family would inevitably go uphill and downhill, but the speed of the decline was different.
It's just that to everyone's surprise, this Zhao Rong's uncle actually just started his career, and when he took office in a foreign country at a young age, he actually died in an accident in another country. It can be said that the Zhao family's blow was unprecedented.
If there is no hope, then there will be no disappointment. But that's it, when you already see hope and have a bright future at your fingertips, and suddenly there is an accident and you fall into the abyss of darkness, which is even more tormenting to people.
The Zhao family is like this, when everyone is looking forward to Uncle Zhao Rong leading, the Zhao family once again embarks on the road of prosperity and revives the Zhao family, the Zhao family, who has just embarked on a smooth road, has fallen to the bottom.
So much so that the spirit of the Zhao family couldn't be lifted up all of a sudden. Coupled with the actions of the current head of the family after taking office, it is very unsatisfactory, and it can't even be talked about mediocrity, but it has accelerated the speed of the Zhao family's collapse. After all, this head of the family has grown up, but no one wants him to be the head of the family, or to train him in the direction of the head of the family. With Zhuyu in front, who would prepare such a spare tire for fish?
But in the end, Zhuyu accidentally fell to the ground and shattered, and in the end, it was this fish eye that everyone held in the palm of their hands. So in the end, the elders of the Zhao family could only choose to be out of sight, and simply did not give any hope, but just looked forward to the future that the Zhao family would be able to have another head who could lead the Zhao family to the light.
I don't know that the current head of the family is because he knows that the clan elders do not support him, and the reason why he can become the head of the family is a complete accident, as if a big pie in the sky directly fell on his head. So for the Zhao family, which is similar to a pie, the head of the family is not distressed at all when he eats it, almost eats half and throws it half.
He likes to be flattered by others, and at the same time, he is pretentious and thinks that he has a unique vision, but he is stunned every time he is deceived by a liar. This is also thanks to the fact that the Zhao family easily does not show up in front of outsiders, otherwise if he looks stupid and is seen by his own Zhao family, it is estimated that those people will feel ashamed and unwilling to go out.
Such a family, no one likes him except those crooks and those poor scholars. But he often feels that he is a character, and he feels that he should be a character who sneezes and shakes the land three times in the county.
This information was revealed by his old friend and himself. The merchant didn't doubt the eyes of his old friend, so he simply said these words directly to the two young masters.
Although the merchant traveled north and south to deal with all kinds of people, he has always maintained a kind and upward heart. So this time, the main reason why he accepted the task of the two palace young masters was because the eyes of these two people were very positive, very clear, and the people were also very upright.
