There are still two days to go, and Zhao Rong doesn't know when the two Gong Jian brothers will come to the county seat, and he doesn't know if he has the opportunity to use those two invitations to invite the two Gong brothers to come to Zhao's house to meet him. These are all unknowns, and it can be said that he has been worrying about them since he got the invitation.

It can be said that from the moment Xiao Tao got the invitation, Zhao Rong didn't know why, he always couldn't let go of it in his heart, as if there was always one thing that he ignored. So much so that these days, although he pretended to be casual on the surface, and even happily talked to Xiao Tao about a bright and free life in the future, but in fact, he always had some worries in his heart. Although he didn't know why, he couldn't get down to speed.

In the past two days, he felt that his worries might come from not knowing the movements of the two Gong Jian brothers. He is now a little worried that the big brother of the merchant may not contact Xiao Tao and himself again, after all, the last time the big brother of the merchant met Xiao Tao, he said that he wanted to meet the two sides.

At that time, Xiao Tao immediately refused, and according to Xiao Tao, the merchant's eldest brother also expressed his understanding. Now Zhao Rong was a little worried, whether the merchant had already recognized that it was impossible for them to come up with any opportunity to meet the two Gong Jian brothers, so he no longer deliberately contacted them. But in that case, he and Xiao Tao planned so much and tried every means to steal those two invitations, it would be useless.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Rong was of course faintly anxious in his heart. He has already thought about it, if he goes back today, if there is no new progress on Xiao Tao's side, then he will ask Xiao Tao tomorrow to go to the merchant brother, and bring the two invitations to the merchant to see if he has a chance to sneak out of the Zhao family and see if the two palace brothers have come to the county seat.

After all, in Zhao Rong's opinion, although the seventieth birthday of the fourth elder is said to be very grand, this matter is a big deal for the Zhao family, but for other people, it is an insignificant matter, Zhao Rong does not dare to guarantee whether the two Gong Jian brothers will know about this matter.

If the two palace brothers didn't know that the Zhao family had this event, then they wouldn't have rushed to the county seat in a hurry, and maybe even they knew about it, and they didn't think it had anything to do with them, or they weren't in this matter, and they didn't see any chance, so the two brothers wouldn't care about the birthday banquet held by the Zhao family. In that case, the two of them wouldn't necessarily come to the county seat before the birthday feast. Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Rong was faintly worried in his heart.

And there is no way, he is nailed to the study every day, and he has no time to contact the merchant, so he can only need Xiao Tao to find the merchant. Let's see if we can contact the two Gong Jian brothers, and it would be great if they could get them to the county seat before the birthday banquet. If not, then all my previous plans will be in vain.

Planning this matter in his heart, of course, Zhao Rong couldn't seriously read the knowledge in the books. And his appearance in a daze happened to be seen by the old gentleman. The old gentleman sighed again in his heart, this kind of rich boy shouldn't come to read any books, anyway, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and they don't have the heart to work hard at all. I really shouldn't have agreed to teach such a child at that time, it was simply a shame for myself. In the future, I don't know how many people will laugh at him for teaching such a child because he is not guaranteed to be in his old age.

Thinking of this, the old gentleman rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, since he agreed to this errand, he has not mentioned this matter to anyone, and in the future, he will simply push it and not admit this matter at all. He said that he had never seen Zhao Rong, the child.

In the old gentleman's opinion, there was no need to teach him anything for such a naughty child. This is a stubborn stone, a piece of rotten wood, no matter how you carve it, it is useless, rather than wasting time to teach children with such qualifications, it is better to spend more time on research.

Seeing that the book in his hand had been read, the old gentleman simply coughed lightly, waking Zhao Rong, who was still in a daze, from his thoughts. When Zhao Rong turned his head to look at the old gentleman, he found that the old gentleman was also looking at him.

This is a very rare phenomenon, generally. Even if Zhao Rong turned his attention to the old gentleman, if the old gentleman didn't ignore it, he would immediately glance at him and immediately divert his gaze, as if he saw that he was seeing something unclean. The old gentleman looked at himself directly like this, and his gaze did not move, and Zhao Rong had also experienced it twice. Generally speaking, this only means one thing, that is, the old gentleman needs him to do something.

This old gentleman's personality is really a little weird, he claims to be Zhao Rong's teacher, but he never lets Zhao Rong call himself a teacher or master, and he doesn't need Zhao Rong to salute him every day. In fact, in order to avoid Zhao Rong from saluting him when he came in the morning, this old gentleman deliberately came to collect the room later and later every time.

Generally speaking, he doesn't care about seeing Zhao Rong for the old gentleman, and occasionally when he needs Zhao Rong to tell him something, or look for something, he will look at Zhao Rong like this, as if Zhao Rong should be by his side. This time, Zhao Rong was still very well-behaved, and immediately stood up and came to the old gentleman's side, looking at the old gentleman with inquiring eyes.

This is another rule of the old gentleman, try not to talk in the study. He felt that talking would disturb his thoughts, so Zhao Rong was forbidden to speak in the study. If there is something to be ordered, the old gentleman also said it, he will say it, and Zhao Rong just needs to do it, but there is no need for Zhao Rong to agree or Zhao Rong to respond to something.

Sure enough, just after Zhao Rong stood beside the old gentleman and bowed respectfully, the old gentleman spoke: "You go to the top row behind the first bookshelf and find me an ancient book with a somewhat damaged cover." ”

At this point, the old gentleman seemed to be trying to remember something, the book was so badly damaged that he basically didn't know what the title was. When the old gentleman was interested, he would take a book like that and study it carefully for a while, because it was so badly damaged that it was so fragmented that he couldn't even read the whole sentence.
