The two Gong Jian brothers were a little worried in their hearts, although they had also gotten the news that the Zhao family was more xenophobic, but they didn't expect that the situation of the Zhao family was so tricky. Since only two or three people in the Zhao family appear in front of outsiders, most of them, or most of the Zhao family, are not known to outsiders, so which aspect does Zhao Rong belong to?

Without waiting for the brothers to ask, the merchant had already begun to continue to explain: "This generation appears in front of everyone is the head of the Zhao family, as well as the third master who is responsible for managing all the affairs of the Zhao family, and this third master is the younger brother of the head of the Zhao family. This Zhao family is indeed very strange, they have a lot of shops outside, but these shop managers are not Zhao family members. Their only contact with the Zhao family was the person in charge of the general affairs. Moreover, it is said that the scope of the Zhao family's business has shrunk a lot in recent years, and at present, the Zhao family's business is mainly concentrated in that county, and the business in other places has been weakened to almost nothing. ”

Gong Yu didn't pay too much attention to the Zhao family's family affairs, and in his opinion, the Zhao family's business had nothing to do with him at all. Even though it is directly related to his little brother Zhao Rong, what they are focusing on or doing now has nothing to do with it.

There was no way, he could only ask impolitely: "Then, this eldest brother, you just said that there are only two or three people who 'show' their faces in front of outsiders, so apart from the head of the family and the third master, does my brother Zhao Rong know him?"

In fact, Gong Yu probably had an idea in his heart, it was estimated that Zhao Rong had never seen the outside world. After all, after the last time they met, Zhao Rong obviously "revealed" his appearance, indicating that he himself was very interested in the outside world, and even didn't know much about ordinary people's lives. He also doesn't know anything about some common sense and human dealings. Through this observation, Gong Yu listened to the words of the merchant, and what else could he not think, it is estimated that Zhao Rong has never been in contact with the outside world and has been locked up in Zhao's house.

Sure enough, just as he thought, the merchant immediately answered his question, "I have been to the county town for a long time, and I have not heard anyone mention Young Master Zhao Rong. Even my old friend was considered the number one person in the local area, barely a local snake, but he didn't know anything about Young Master Zhao Rong. However, he did say that the head of the family had brought his eldest son before the crowd. ”

Originally, Gong Yu heard the merchant say that no one had heard of Zhao Rong, and he verified his conjecture in his heart, but he didn't think much about it. However, when I heard that the merchant was the head of the Zhao family, he actually brought his eldest son to appear in front of everyone. He couldn't help but ask again: "Are you sure, eldest brother? Is this head of the Zhao family taking his eldest son, not his son-in-law?"

At this time, the merchant had already inquired about most of the situation of Zhao Rong's family, and of course he was very clear about Zhao Rong's situation, and he also knew that Zhao Rong was the only son-in-law of the head of the Zhao family. Hearing Gong Yu's question, of course he understood what Gong Yu was surprised about, in fact, if he hadn't experienced so much personally, it would have been difficult for him to imagine that the head of such a big family as the Zhao family would be so indistinguishable.

Knowing the ultimate purpose of Gong Yu's question, of course the merchant simply answered his answer: "Yes, I heard that person say that the head of the Zhao family only brought his eldest son Zhao Tian to appear in front of everyone. And those scholars who like to flatter around the head of the Zhao family have given this young master Zhao Tian the title of a little genius. ”

Hearing that the merchant not only proposed again that the son brought out by the Zhao family's family was the eldest young master, but also clearly pointed out the name of the eldest young master, Gong Yu was sure that what the merchant had just said was that the son of the head of the Zhao family who went out to meet outsiders on behalf of the owner was not his little brother Zhao Rong.

At this time, the feeling in Gong Yu's heart can be said to be very sad for his little brother. After all, after listening to the eldest brother's analysis, he already knew that the wife of the head of the Zhao family, that is, Zhao Rong's mother, had a very suspicious attitude towards his sister-in-law. And now what he heard, it turned out that not only Zhao Rong's mother had a problem with his attitude towards him, but even his father didn't value him as the only son-in-law.

Now Gong Yu is a little worried about Zhao Rong's situation in the Zhao family, his father and mother are not optimistic about him as a son, and they don't know what Zhao Rong's real status in the Zhao family is. Isn't there a person in the Zhao family who really loves him?

Feeling Gong Yu's depressed mood, Gong Jian hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the merchant, motioning for him to drink some tea to moisten his throat first, and then continued. When Gong Jian handed the teacup to Gong Yu, he patted Gong Yu on the shoulder twice.

Only then did Gong Yu notice that his emotions were a little "exposed". He was busy adjusting his mood, now was not the time to be sad and worried, now he should listen carefully to the news brought back by the merchant, and then discuss the next plan with his eldest brother.

The merchant took two sips of water, and then without waiting for others to urge, he continued to tell the news he had inquired about, which was also a kind of report on his own task.

"I didn't find out too much news through that acquaintance, but later by chance, he knew someone from the Zhao family. This person can also be regarded as an alternative to the Zhao family. ”

In order to explain his next work, it is inevitable that this merchant will be involved, how he entered the Zhao family to seek that position, so it is inevitable that Zhao Shiyi will be involved. Afraid that the two palace young masters would not understand the situation, the merchant simply told the basic situation of Zhao Shiyi to the two palace young masters.

"Most of the Zhao family follow the rules, after all, they have been educated to be like that since they were children, everything is centered on the family and serves the family, so there are few unscrupulous descendants. ”

Zhao Shiyi is indeed an alternative to the Zhao family, or it can be directly said that he is an unscrupulous descendant of the Zhao family. This guy is different from all the others in the Zhao family, after all, everyone else has to enter the clan school at a young age, and both men and women are taught to put the family first for everything.

Although there are no amazing and brilliant characters in such educated people, most of them are honest and responsible. Therefore, the Zhao family is the easiest to come out of the kind of people who do nothing, but no one would have thought that the Zhao family would actually appear looking for Zhao Shiyi, who eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles.

Hearing that the merchant mentioned that there was such an alternative existence in the Zhao family, the two Gong Jian and Gong Yu brothers glanced at each other, and they both saw deep surprise in each other's eyes. They didn't expect that in such an environment as the Zhao family, there would be a number one person like Zhao Shiyi.
