Chapter 849: Repression
When his parents made mistakes to him, they just kept preaching reasonably, and every time at this time, Zhao Rong always felt a numb and cold feeling. But his grandmother told him that it was your parents' love for you. After all, he is their son-in-law, and easily, they will not punish him. They value him more. He accepted it, but tried his best to do what his parents asked him to do, and tried his best not to worry about his parents.
When Zhao Rong was already disheartened in his studies and felt abandoned, he looked back and found that his original little friend Xiao Tao had undergone earth-shaking changes.
At the beginning, Zhao Rong was disappointed that Xiao Tao couldn't accompany him and go out to play together. Often when she makes her own proposals, Xiao Tao also educates herself with righteous words that she must follow the rules and no longer run around like before.
Don't talk about climbing trees, Zhao Rong just wears two less clothes, Xiao Tao can also nag next to him for a long time, and he must not follow him obediently until Zhao Rong puts on his clothes.
This time, Zhao Rong felt that the atmosphere that he could take a breath and relax in his small courtyard was gone all of a sudden. With Xiao Tao by his side, let alone being naughty and mischievous like before, even if there is anything inconsistent with his identity in words and deeds, Xiao Tao will immediately point it out and ask himself to correct it.
Xiao Tao's actions, Zhao Rong endured it. Even if Zhao Rong is unhappy, he also knows that as he grows up day by day, it is impossible to be as lawless and naughty as he was when he was a child.
Xiao Tao pointed out the various rules that he should abide by in his life, which was barely useful to him. Even if he is unhappy in his heart, he has always persuaded himself in his heart on the grounds that Xiao Tao is thinking about himself.
But what made Zhao Rong the most unbearable was that some of the words he complained to Xiao Tao in private often reached his mother quickly.
What kind of restraint will be more unbearable than restricting people's thinking? Zhao Rong broke out under such circumstances. He was furious and lost his temper in the real sense of the word to Xiao Tao, asking him not to report the things around him, or what he said casually, to his wife.
Maybe it's because the two of them still got along with each other before, maybe it's because Xiao Tao felt scared when he saw Zhao Rong, who was really angry, no matter what, Xiao Tao did agree to his request on the surface.
This also reassured Zhao Rong for several days, but things were not so simple. A few days later, his unintentional words were passed on to his mother again.
Mother called Zhao Rong over, and it was another big preach. After coming back from his mother, Zhao Rong looked at Xiao Tao coldly again, and before he could lose his temper, the frightened Xiao Tao had already knelt down directly and admitted his mistake.
Zhao Rong really can't understand, this little peach is obviously a little guy next to him, but why doesn't he listen to his own words, but listens to his mother's words. And Xiao Tao's explanation is more straightforward.
"Young master, the old lady is all for your good. Mrs. and Master are very concerned about you and are very worried about you, so they asked Xiao Tao to report everything to them. ”
Zhao Rong still remembers Xiao Tao's answer. And he replied with such simplicity and firmness, as if this belief had been engraved into his bones. Since then, Zhao Rong has realized that the little peach beside him is no longer the partner who used to be by his side and play with him.
From that day on, Zhao Rong began to gradually alienate Xiao Tao. But just as a sign appeared on his side, his mother called him over again to give him a lecture. After another big lecture, in fact, the mother's main purpose was to tell Zhao Rong that he must take Xiao Tao with him.
Of course Zhao Rong couldn't, he refuted his mother's orders. But in the end, he still couldn't hold back the yearning in his heart for his small courtyard, the kind of free life that he once lived. couldn't bear it, Zhao Rong finally begged, "Mother, I don't like Xiao Tao very much, can you change me to a small house?"
This is basically, it is Zhao Rong's limit. You must know that from childhood to adulthood, what his mother taught him was to respect his elders, and whatever the elders said should be taken seriously.
That time, he also mustered up the courage to make this request. However, as his mother's face became gloomy, Zhao Rong didn't dare to say anything more.
Seeing Zhao Rong retreating, his mother said: "You must know that our family is a benevolent family, but there has never been such a thing as abusing servants. Xiao Tao has been with you for a few years, although he is young and not very useful, but his mother has also sent someone to teach him well. If he hadn't made any mistakes. It's better to have him by your side. After all, in a family like ours, it is not good to spread rumors of mistreatment of servants. ”
Since then, Zhao Rong's personality has become a little twisted. In fact, he didn't have high requirements for food and clothing, but since he wanted to replace his little guy and was refused, Zhao Rong suddenly became extremely picky about his request for food.
Often a meal, good dishes can be picked by him to the fullest, and it is not once or twice to let the big kitchen redo it. But even if Zhao Rong's requirements are so harsh, the strange thing is that the whole family seems to take these requirements for him for granted.
Madame spoke even earlier, but whatever the young master asked, they had to try their best to do it, as long as the young master was happy, they would not be less rewarded.
So since then, Zhao Rong's small courtyard has become a strange state. During the day, Zhao Rong followed the old gentleman to study, and spent the whole day in the school with the old gentleman. So this lunch meal is actually something sent from the big kitchen, and Zhao Rong will eat something.
But as soon as the time for study passed, Zhao Rong returned to his small courtyard, and for the other two breakfasts and dinners of the day, Zhao Rong's requirements became extremely harsh and picky.
But no matter how tricky his requirements were, even if the big kitchen was full of trouble and all kinds of busyness, he was finally able to meet Zhao Rong's requirements and deliver exquisite food.
In other aspects, Zhao Rong is treated more favorably, not to mention his clothes throughout the year, he is always twice as much as other brothers and sisters, and his usual pocket money is far ahead of other siblings.
