The merchant also temporarily suppressed the emotion in his heart and faced up to this matter: "Yes, what you said is that this is indeed a rare opportunity. With the invitation, it will be much easier for the two palace young masters to enter the Zhao family, and if we answer internally, it should not be difficult for them to meet your young master. ”

After saying these affirmative words, the merchant was already beginning to think about it in his heart, so he continued: "First of all, we should determine the location. Now we also know that the seventieth birthday of the four elders is planned to be held in the clan hui hall. Xiao Tao is also very clear about this, he has inquired before, and the servants have already told him the specific location of the seventieth birthday of the four elders.

Clan Hui Tang has its advantages, that is, first of all, it is big enough. It is more than enough to accommodate all the Zhao family members. Of course, the Zhao family referred to here is the Zhao family with pure blood, and they are all masters and have no servants, which means that the total number of people who come is about 1,000 can still be accommodated.

And the second point is that the location of this clan Huitang is better. First of all, it is relatively close to the gate of the Zhao family, and secondly, he has almost many roads leading to all parts of the Zhao family. Therefore, for the Zhao family, the distance from everywhere to the clan Huitang is about the same.

But Xiao Tao and the merchant both felt in their hearts that the main reason why they chose Clan Huitang was because it was close to the gate. With the xenophobic character of the Zhao family, he definitely didn't want those outsiders to go back and forth inside the Zhao family, so he would definitely divide the scope of action of these people near the clan Huitang, so that it would be very close to the gate.

But such a special location as Clan Hui Hall is also convenient, and the merchant arranged this plan, after all, Clan Hui Hall is not very far from them.

After some planning, the merchant continued: "The meeting place must not be in the small courtyard of your young master. After all, your yard is in the courtyard of the master of the house, and it is a remote place, and there is a long distance from the gate of the yard of the master of the house. Although it is said that the distance from the courtyard of the head of the house to the state hall is not far, the distance from the entrance of the hospital to your courtyard is too great. Therefore, if you arrange a meeting place, I think it is better to have a location close to the entrance of the main yard. ”

Speaking of which, in fact, the merchant is also a little difficult. He is more familiar with the yard of the head of the house, after all, he has been patrolling around the yard these days, so although he said so, he has begun to look for a suitable place at the door of the yard of the head of the house. It's a pity that after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't find a suitable location.

In the inverted seat at the gate of the courtyard, there were some servants who guarded the courtyard and guarded the door, and even if there was a grand banquet, they would not all leave. If there are strangers in the courtyard of the head of the Zhao family, these people will definitely notice it at the first time, and they may not be just strangers, the merchant added another sentence in his heart, it is estimated that if the young master Zhao Rong appears in the vicinity, those guards will also find out the abnormality.

So soon, the merchant overturned what he had just said: "No, I thought about it again, there are too many people at the gate of the courtyard, and there are many people, and there is really no hidden place where they can talk quietly." ”

From the moment the merchant began to think about the meeting place just now, Xiao Tao was also thinking about this problem, but the direction of his consideration was obviously not in the courtyard of the head of the Zhao family. He was of course well aware of how dangerous this courtyard was, and a young servant like him, walking around the courtyard in the costume of a servant, might not attract much attention. But Xiao Tao is reluctant to take risks, in case the young master of his family comes forward and has one or two servants who know, it will be more troublesome.

So from the beginning, Xiao Tao's goal of thinking had been placed outside the family's courtyard. He was trying to recall in his mind that the few opportunities he had to go out made him pay attention to the specific layout outside the hospital.

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. ”

Hearing Xiao Tao say this, the merchant immediately raised his attention: "Xiao Tao, where did you say?" This is also the merchant's helplessness, he just carefully recalled the terrain he was familiar with, and he really didn't think of any place that could reassure him. So it's rare to hear Xiao Tao say that there is a suitable place, of course he has to check it quickly.

Without hesitation, Xiao Tao immediately said: "Except for our master's courtyard turning left, about twenty steps is the courtyard of the Great Elder's house." Do not enter the main entrance of their yard. Walking along the alley between the two courtyards, there is a small hidden gate. That place was a small garden that the Great Elder had originally carved out for the children to play with. ”

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.
