Chapter 26: Excuses
(88106 .) When I thought of it, the merchant also said. If he doesn't work near his young master's courtyard, then he will also ask other handymen who work nearby to take care of him, and it is possible that the big brother of the merchant will indeed send someone else to contact him.
Thinking like this, Xiao Tao tried her best to suppress her heart full of doubts and seeds, and when she looked at the person again, her eyes were already a lot friendlier. He nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I am Xiao Tao." It was the little peach in the courtyard of Young Master Zhao Rong. ”
And after hearing Xiao Tao's affirmative reply, the man seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, he exhaled softly, and said with an exaggerated expression: "Oops, great." I'll just say, my eyes are still okay. My brother also described to me for a long time, it's not that I recognize you at a glance, you are Xiao Tao. ”
At this time, Xiao Tao's suspicion of this person has decreased a lot, and it can be seen from this person's words and deeds that this person is really not very bright, and Mrs. should not send such a stupid guy to keep an eye on herself.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tao's attitude was even more polite: "Oh, this big brother is really sorry, my attitude just now was a little excessive." I shouldn't have spoken to you like that, and I ask my eldest brother to forgive me. ”
When the servant heard that Xiao Tao apologized, he hurriedly shook his hands, indicating that he didn't care too much. "It's okay, it's okay, it's also my fault, I should have called you just now. I obviously recognized you, alas, my eyes are good, but my brain is not very good, I can clearly see that you are Xiao Tao, and I don't dare to come forward to admit it, no wonder you will be angry. ”
Xiao Tao really didn't expect that this man looked honest and responsible, and he had a good temper, he really shouldn't have yelled like that just now. Thinking of this person's appearance again, it doesn't look like the lady sent to stare at her at all, and Xiao Tao is even more suspicious that he may be the helper found by the merchant's eldest brother.
So Xiao Tao couldn't wait, and asked the servant in front of him: "This big brother, I don't know what you have to do with Xiao Tao?" After speaking, Xiao Tao stared at the person in front of him with a pair of expectant eyes, thinking about the answer he wanted to get from this person's mouth.
Although it was a little strange for the man to look at Xiao Tao like this, but just now because of his hesitation, Xiao Tao shouted at him, so he really didn't dare to think about anything else now, and quickly finished the things that the brother explained to him, which was the most important thing.
So the servant touched the back of his head, and then he said, "It's all right, I'm just entrusted by a brother." He asked me to wait for you here this morning, to ask if you had anything to ask him, after all, he was about to go home to see his sick mother. ”
As soon as Xiao Tao heard this person speak, she knew that the brother mentioned by this person must be the big brother of the merchant whom she had met. In his heart, he expressed some disdain for the performance of the person in front of him, and this person really didn't know how to speak.
Since this person was entrusted by others, he had to wait here to wait for him, but he just stopped himself from leaving. If he hadn't asked him out loud, he wouldn't have asked. I don't know where the big brother of the merchant came from to find such a person to ask for.
But then, Xiao Tao thought again, this person looks too honest, maybe the big brother of the merchant deliberately chose such a candidate, probably because he is easy to deceive. After all, this is in the courtyard of the head of the Zhao family, but any servant who is more clever can probably know that his young master is not taken seriously.
If this matter is to ask the clever servant to come here and wait for him, it is estimated that it will not be easy to keep it secret. Maybe a really smart person can sense from just a few words that something is wrong with the matter in front of him, and he may sell them as soon as he turns his head. Thinking about it this way, Xiao Tao feels that the person in front of her is a lot more pleasing to the eye, honest people are good, and honest people can reassure everyone.
Thinking of the method that he and the young master came up with last night, Xiao Tao immediately said, "Oh, that's great." You've done me a great favor, big brother. I'm just going to ask that big brother to help me bring something to my fellow countryman. ”
The servant blinked his little eyes, and he didn't remember what his brother had told him. How do you feel, the brother just asked him to come to Xiao Tao by himself and ask him if he needed help with anything, and he didn't seem to mention anything about his fellow villagers.
Xiao Tao could easily see what the servant in front of him was thinking. So he immediately opened his mouth and explained: "The eldest brother who asked you to come here to wait for me, a fellow villager who knows me. But I haven't seen him for many years, and it's rare that the eldest brother actually knows him, so I also know about it by chance, and since the eldest brother is going home to visit my mother, I want to take this opportunity to ask the eldest brother to bring something back to my fellow countrymen. Mainly so that when he returns to his hometown, he can burn some paper money in front of my parents' graves. Even if I am a son, even if I can't go home, I have to do my filial piety. ”
It can be said that throughout the ages, wherever there is education, it is estimated that the first good thing to teach people is filial piety. So for ordinary people, filial piety to their parents is the most basic principle of being a human being. When the servant heard what Xiao Tao had asked for, he actually wanted his brother to bring some things back to his fellow villager, so that when the fellow villager returned to his hometown, he could put incense on the grave of Xiao Tao's parents and burn some paper money. This is what the Son of Man should do.
Thinking of this, the servant hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "Xiao Tao, don't worry, I will definitely hand over this thing to my brother as soon as possible." I also promise that you will explain it to him exactly what. ”
Hearing this man's sonorous and powerful guarantee, Xiao Tao couldn't help laughing out loud in his heart, what he said didn't mean anything, the most important thing was that this thing must be handed over to the merchant's eldest brother. So he quickly pulled out the purse.
Last night, Xiao Tao couldn't fall asleep in bed over and over, and always felt that she had missed something. At last he simply did not sleep, and found another needle and thread, and roughly sewed the mouth of the purse. It's not that I don't believe the big brother of the merchant, the most important thing is that Xiao Tao doesn't know if he can hand over this purse to the big brother of the merchant early this morning. Isn't this situation just a proof that it is useful for me to think a little more about it yesterday?
