Chapter 183
Soon, Xiao Tao thought of a place. The more he thought about that place, the more Xiao Tao felt that it was the most suitable place to meet, so he said: "Brother Merchant, I know that there is a place where there should be no idle people. ”
That small garden was a place that Zhao Rong frequented when he was young, and he took Xiao Tao to visit many times. Even Xiao Tao knew that there was a place in the yard of the main family, where there was a relatively large dog hole, and when he was young, Zhao Rong climbed the dog hole to go out, and he could come to the small garden directly. So Xiao Tao still remembers it vividly.
Seeing the merchant's expression, Xiao Tao knew that the merchant didn't know anything about it. So he went on to explain: "That little garden was specially opened up by the Great Elder for children to play with. The children in the clan basically know that place, and although there is usually a door at the side door, no one will lock it, so it is easy for children to enter and exit. ”
Although Xiao Tao said that anyone in the clan could go, in fact, because it was located in the house of the Great Elder, the children of families who did not have much status in the clan did not dare to go in and out of it. Those who can enter and leave that place are basically children of families with a certain status in the clan.
In the past, Zhao Rong was the little bully there, but now Xiao Tao doesn't know how many children go there to play every day, and which is the head of the children now, but he knows that the children who go there to play basically have a certain amount of power in their homes. Therefore, on the day of the birthday banquet of the four elders, the children of these families will not appear there, and they will all appear at the banquet with the adults. As a result, there should be no one in the small garden that day.
After all, it is a rare event in the family, and no parent is willing to let their children miss this rare opportunity. It was because of this that Xiao Tao proposed such a place.
After listening to Xiao Tao's explanation, the merchant also thought that this place was good. However, he asked again about the location of the small garden, and asked Xiao Tao to use tree branches on the ground to roughly draw the nearby terrain. After the merchant had memorized the location of the small garden, he raised his foot to wipe away all the marks on the ground.
The specific meeting place was discussed, and the matter was basically half planned. Then there is time, when talking about time, the merchant remembered another question, he had to remind Xiao Tao again: "Xiao Tao, don't forget the time, that day, your young master will not have to go to school, right?"
Hearing the merchant ask about this, Xiao Tao realized this. They had already been mentally prepared that it was impossible for them to attend the seventieth birthday banquet of the four elders. The people in the clan won't say anything, even the head of the family and his wife will definitely not inform them, if that's the case, then the young master of his family may really have to go to school in the school.
Although Xiao Tao can't be the master of his own young master, he knows how persistent and persistent his young master is about meeting the two palace young masters. So he quickly assured his young master: "Big brother, don't worry, my young master will definitely be able to go to the small garden to meet the two palace young masters at that time." It's just that I want to trouble the big brother of the merchant and guide the way for the two palace young masters. ”
After all, on that day, even if their young master and themselves were able to get out, it was impossible for them to move around outside at will, so the best they could only do was to go from the Zhao family's yard to the small garden. As for how the two young masters of the palace came in from the gate of the Zhao family, how to get to the small garden, they needed the help of the eldest brother of the merchant.
Obviously, the merchant had already understood his responsibilities, so when he heard Xiao Tao say this, he hurriedly agreed: "Don't worry, Xiao Tao, I will definitely guarantee that I will lead the two palace young masters over on time." ”
Now he won't easily doubt the ability of Zhao Rong's master and servant, after all, both of them can get two invitations, and they can't do this by themselves, but this master and servant have done it. So for the fact that they promised to appear in the small garden on time, the merchant also believed it from the bottom of his heart.
For the time being, the two of them have nothing else to discuss, after all, everything has to wait for Zhao Rong to meet with the two palace young masters, and they will discuss it in detail face to face. For the future plan, Xiao Tao and the merchant didn't have any ideas in their hearts, they only wanted to meet in front of them now, and as for the future, of course, the two of them just obeyed the assignments of a few young masters.
The merchant already felt that he had been away for a long time, after all, there was still a steward above him, so the matter on his side had to be resolved quickly. So he immediately turned to Xiao Tao and said, "Then if there is nothing else, I am ready to leave." Little Peach, you better hurry up and hand me the invitation. ”
As soon as the merchant's words came out, Xiao Tao was stunned at first, but then he figured it out. No, of course, you have to take this opportunity to hand over the invitation to the merchant. In this way, he was able to transfer the two invitations to the two palace young masters. You must know that in two days, it will be the day of the birthday banquet. If they don't take this opportunity to pass on the invitations, then their master and servant will have wasted so much effort to steal these two invitations.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tao immediately turned around and ran in the direction of his yard, leaving only a sentence he hurriedly left in the wind: "You wait, I'll be back soon." Now Xiao Tao is very anxious, after all, he has been talking to the merchant here for a long time, and he is very worried that the woman will return to the yard after a long time.
Today, of course, he doesn't have to go to other places to inquire about the news, and it is enough to get the news today. He was now just waiting for the evening, when the young master returned, to share the good news with him. Now, of course, he wants to hurry back to the courtyard and take out the two invitations to Brother Merchant, so that he can easily pass them on to the two palace young masters.
Xiao Tao ran back to the yard like a gust of wind, didn't dare to stay at all, and rushed directly to the study. He walked quickly to the bookshelf, took out the book, took out two invitations from it, and carefully placed them in the placket of his clothes. Then he rushed out of the yard again without stopping. Now Xiao Tao is just urging herself, hurry, hurry, hurry, don't be in time.
There was no way, in order not to be discovered, the merchant had been standing behind the tree, and he didn't drive it out at all.
