I was completely single-minded, but I didn't think that the things in front of me had not been done yet. Now everything is smashed in his own hands, and the merchant wants to cry, but now he still endures the pain in his heart and copes with Xiao Tao's question, "Well, it's the two young masters of the palace who said they would come to the county in a few days." I still don't know exactly when you can leave the Zhao family, and it depends on how the two young masters deal with this matter. Well, you have to be careful when packing up your things, so that people don't notice... ”

The two of them are like this, although they are right to ask and answer, but the mood of the two people is 108,000 miles apart, but this kind of conversation actually lasted for a long time, until Xiao Tao felt that he was almost asking a question.

Seeing that Xiao Tao finally stopped asking a question, and couldn't confirm it after asking two or three times, the merchant breathed a sigh of relief. Today, I have really suffered several blows, first of all, things are not going according to my expectations. I can't blame anyone else, I can only blame myself for not thinking it through before.

If I had made this situation clear to the old man, let him give up this ethereal hope, and then use another more practical means, maybe he would still be happy now, and he would not feel that his future was already slim in handling this matter.

Then, before he could recover from this blow, Xiao Tao's verbal bombardment came. It's not enough to ask a question three or four times, and there's a tendency to ask it even more. Fortunately, this guy's time is also limited, looking at Xiao Tao's look at the sky now, with a somewhat hesitant expression, the merchant knows that he estimates that the time to be free outside the courtyard is almost up.

Thinking that Xiao Tao secretly opened the courtyard door and ran out after the mother-in-law walked out of the door, the merchant also had a certain admiration for Xiao Tao in his heart. He thought in his heart that this kid was only so old, and he had already tried his best to create conditions for him and his young master, and he was also a poor person.

When the merchant thought of this, he let go of himself a little, and the bright and lofty future that he had been thinking about a few days ago really began to think about how to solve the matter in front of him faster.

"Okay, little peach, I think it's almost time. There is no new progress on my side, and when the two palace young masters come to the county, they will naturally have a way to inform me. At that time, I will first tell them more about the situation on your side, and it is estimated that it will be more difficult for the two sides to meet. Let's think about other methods, if there is any progress on Young Master Gong's side or if you need your cooperation, I will inform you as soon as possible. ”

In fact, these words of the merchant have been repeated many times intermittently just now, but Xiao Tao has always been in a state of excitement, and every time he hears it, he feels no less than the sound of nature. So he asked many times, but his heart was still not very steady, and he always had to be repeatedly emphasized by the merchant to believe a little.

Now when I heard the merchant repeat these words again, Xiao Tao did not ask questions again as he did just now, but nodded solemnly, "Big brother, don't worry, we are waiting for your good news here." ”

Seeing Xiao Tao thank himself so solemnly, and his eyes were full of gratitude to himself, the merchant felt relieved again. Maybe in the past few days, I have been too impatient and utilitarian, but I have forgotten the original intention I had when I accepted this matter at the beginning.

He thought back to himself again, the few days when he returned to Zhao's house from the county seat, the anxious mood, the merchant now thinks about it, and he feels a little regretful. When did I start to forget these original intentions, but instead thought about my future and future. He couldn't figure it out now, but fortunately, it wasn't too late to wake up.

A concerned smile appeared on his face, "Xiao Tao, I think the time is about the same, it's better not to let him find out about that mother-in-law in your courtyard, you can go out of the courtyard without permission." You'd better go back early, and remember to tell your young master the good news. Let him hold on for a few more days, I believe that this Young Master Gong will definitely speed up and rescue you as soon as possible." ”

Hearing what the merchant said, Xiao Tao of course nodded happily, and then finally couldn't hold back her emotions, thinking deeply about the merchant and bowed, and then turned around and ran back to the small courtyard.

The merchant hid behind the tree, and watched with concern as Xiao Tao ran into the yard, and then carefully locked the courtyard door again, restoring the courtyard door to the appearance when the woman left. Only then did he relent, turned and paced slowly back to his quarters.

Along the way, he has been reflecting on himself. In the merchant's view, the reason why things have come to an eye is that this situation is entirely caused by his blind desire to express himself. But no matter what, since he is now in this situation, and the bright road that he has in his heart and mind is no longer able to set foot on, then he will be down-to-earth and solve the matter in front of him. No matter what, the two children, Young Master Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao, are still very pitiful.

He now has some clear understanding in his heart, maybe for these poor people, it is already a happy thing to not have to worry about eating and drinking every day. But for a person, the most basic requirement is freedom.

The merchant himself didn't understand in his heart how he should choose if he was to choose. On the one hand, he lost his freedom, just like Young Master Zhao Rong, every day is a fixed itinerary, the scope of activities is very narrow, and even every word and deed is under the supervision of others, but he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, he doesn't have to worry about his livelihood, and he doesn't have to work every day.

On the other hand, there are thousands of things that you need to worry about every day in your own life, and you have to think about the family's food as soon as you open your eyes. The busy day from morning to night is for the food and clothing of the family, in fact, there is no spare time, but let yourself think cranky.

If you were to choose between these two aspects of life, how would you choose? The merchant was also a little hesitant. But in the end, he felt that he would rather endure hardship and eat bran vegetables and run around every day for a living, rather than be like an animal in captivity, being prescribed an itinerary and being watched by others to live like a word and deed, losing his freedom and the most basic needs of life. Those were the real painful days. My AR goddess
