Chapter 28: Go Back
The merchant is okay to say, after all, he was hired to work in the Zhao family, even if such a thing happened, at most, he would lose this job, and there would be no other loss if he left the Zhao family. But if this letter is discovered by the Zhao family, then the situation of this Young Master Zhao Rong is estimated to be very, very bad.
God knows that when they were able to hide from the world before, the Zhao family's attitude towards this young master was so weird, as long as the matter was clear, the fate of this young master would definitely not be, and anyone could afford it.
Thinking of this, the merchant faintly regretted it in his heart. I talked too much with Xiao Tao yesterday about the situation of his young master. He really forgot and reminded Xiao Tao that this matter must be kept secret, at least not let the Zhao family know in advance.
I was still too careless, Xiao Tao and Zhao Rong were both young and had no life experience, so it was no wonder that they could do such a risky thing. In the future, I should still think more comprehensively when doing things.
This merchant really doesn't know about himself, and his worries are a little redundant. Not only Xiao Tao, but even Zhao Rong realized that they had to hide this matter from everyone in the Zhao family for the time being. Even Zhao Rong's grandmother, Zhao Rong didn't decide to tell the old lady about it.
So he naturally didn't write a letter directly asking for help, and put such an important letter in his purse at random and let someone he didn't know send it to someone he didn't know. That's right, this merchant thinks too much. It was also he who underestimated the thoughts of Xiao Tao and Zhao Rong.
Anyway, the merchant still put away the purse seriously, and at the same time took out a few copper plates and handed them to the servant who passed the purse: "Big brother, this time I really thanks to your help, or I really can't leave here, seeing that I will leave the Zhao family this afternoon and go home to visit my sick mother." At this time, it's really too late to see Xiao Tao's side, or the eldest brother, you are righteous and can help your brother. Don't talk about other brothers, these big brothers take it over to have a glass of wine, which can be regarded as a brother's heart. ”
The man was thinking about which of his relatives' daughters matched Xiao Tao's age. It wasn't until the merchant shoved the money into his own hands that he was heard. And this person is indeed more honest, not good at prevarication at all, after pushing it out twice, he found that the merchant was sincere to give him the money, this man couldn't say anything else, and finally could only nod and accept.
He was happy in his heart, and he was even more busy here: "Hey, what is this little favor, that is, brother, you are too polite." Oh, next time there is such a thing, you have to come to the big brother. Heck, don't give money next time. ”
Anyway, the merchant has got a message from Zhao Rong on Xiao Tao's side, and he can rest assured now. Putting away the purse in his hand, he quickly turned around and walked into the courtyard of the fourth steward. As soon as he entered the courtyard and saw the four stewards, the merchant immediately said, "Lord steward, I have taken leave today, and I am about to go home to visit my mother." When I come back, bring some good wine for the steward to taste. ”
Of course, the fourth steward knew that this merchant had indeed asked the housekeeper for leave before. Today, he deliberately called this merchant to his side, not because he needed to do any work, but because he felt that this was a good opportunity to test the merchant.
And the morning passed, and the merchant was attentive and considerate in serving by his side, without any anxiety or impatience at all, and the four stewards were very satisfied. He felt that his vision was too good to be able to see such a good subordinate as the merchant. Now, of course, he is very satisfied with the performance of the merchant, and naturally he happily allows the merchant to go back and prepare his luggage to leave Zhao's house.
He really didn't know that the merchant had already arranged it, and the servants he asked to work near Zhao Rong's courtyard were all greeted by him in advance. It's just that because Xiao Tao walked too fast, the other people didn't find a chance to get close to Xiao Tao, but let the stupid guy meet Xiao Tao.
He thought very clearly, after all, it was a blue sky and white day, and there were many servants walking around in the courtyard, so it would not be convenient for him to meet Xiao Tao directly.
The two of them can't say anything secret without talking to each other, and even if they meet, they may arouse the suspicion of others. It's better to be like now, if Xiao Tao meets with the original servants of the Zhao family, then naturally not too many people will pay attention.
After all, the merchant is clear, he has only been in the Zhao family for a few days, although he is very sociable, and almost all the servants in the courtyard have greeted him, but his new face must be easy to be noticed by others wherever he goes. It is better for him to ask someone else to be the middleman.
Now the merchant patted the purse on his chest, and he was now more anxious to return to the provincial capital and meet the two palace masters. This time, he used all his strength, and even took advantage of his previous interpersonal relationships, which barely fulfilled the entrustment of the two palace masters.
Of course, when the merchant thinks of Zhao Rong's situation in the Zhao family now, he is actually very sympathetic in his heart. After all, before entering the Zhao family, if someone told him that the life of the young master of the Zhao family was not as good as that of the concubine, and there was no future, the merchant would definitely not believe it. But he had personally experienced all the things in the past few days, so he knew even more that Zhao Rong's situation in the Zhao family was precarious.
But the merchant also knew very well that with his identity and status, he really couldn't do anything to help this poor young master. He could only secretly hope in his heart that the two palace young masters could have any way to help this young master Zhao Rong. It's just that the merchant has actually thought of a lot of ways, but he always feels that as an outsider, even those two palace young masters are estimated to be difficult to meddle in the Zhao family's housework.
With such an idea in his heart, the merchant was of course more eager to return to the provincial capital, and wanted to hear what work the two palace young masters would arrange for him to do next. In fact, what the merchant wants to know more now is whether the two young masters will take this hot potato. It was really as he thought, those two young masters could help Zhao Rong and solve the quagmire he was in in the Zhao family.
So soon, the merchant carried the luggage he had packed and walked out of Zhao's house quickly. Of course, at the first stop, I went to the carriage and horse shop in the city to hire the fastest carriage, paid a full deposit, and quickly rushed to the provincial capital.
