Thinking of his eldest brother's life goal, even if Gong Yu was depressed, he couldn't help but laugh out loud in his heart. The eldest brother's goal is to marry the young lady of the Tian family.

After laughing, Gong Yu's heart moved, he realized a little, could it be that the reason why the eldest brother is so capable is because he has always had a clear goal, and after having a goal, he will do his best to work hard. With such a cognition, Gong Yu looked back and thought back on his short sixteen years of life.

It seems that this is really the case, although I have been thinking of ways to solve things when I have encountered them since I was a child, but I have not really taken solving this matter as my only goal. He remembered the firmest determination he had ever made, which was to go to the landlord's house and ask to go to work to earn some money to make ends meet the family.

But at that time, although going to the landlord's house was the only way he could think of, he was also very clear in his heart, so he went to his house to work in the same style of the landlord's house, not to mention the exhaustion and tiredness, and he couldn't get a few wages. But I couldn't think of a better way, so I could only do the only thing I could.

Perhaps, it's time for another goal in life. Gong Yu secretly thought in his heart that maybe after having a goal, he could also work forward step by step as firmly as his eldest brother, so that he could become more and more powerful. One day, he will be able to be an example to others and a source of support for others.

With a slight understanding in his heart, Gong Yu still retracted his mind, and the most important thing in front of him was to solve the situation of his little brother Zhao Rong. Seeing that tomorrow is the time to meet with the merchant, Gong Yu is both apprehensive and looking forward to coming early tomorrow.

The next day came the day agreed upon by the merchant and the Gong Jian brothers. Early in the morning, the two brothers quickly washed up and went out, and came to the private room they had agreed on.

Not surprisingly, the private room was empty at this time. The two brothers sat down at the table, and they were not in the mood to drink tea, just quietly waiting for the arrival of the merchant. I waited for about an hour, when there was a gentle knock on the door of the private room. Gong Yu immediately stood up, walked to the door quickly, and opened the door of the private room, but when he saw Huo Xianglang standing at the door, Gong Yu's heart that had been hanging was slightly put back into his stomach.

Without waiting for the merchant to say hello, Gong Yu pulled the merchant into the private room, and pressed her to the chair with both hands, signaling him not to be so polite, or hurry up and tell them the news he heard from Zhao Rong and tell them that the two brothers are okay.

During this process, Gong Jian sat at the table, quietly watching the interaction between Gong Yu and the merchant. He knew that his second brother could endure it until now, which was already a limit, so it was better to go with his wishes now, and let the merchant quickly tell him what he had heard, so that the second brother could feel at ease, or let the two brothers have a concept of "touching".

And the merchant also found that the two Gong Yu brothers were anxious, so he didn't care about being polite, and immediately began to explain his experience of going out.

"I went to that county this time, and then I realized that the Zhao family is indeed different from other families, they are actually super xenophobic. Luckily, I still have an old friend in that county, and with his help, I can still get some useful news. ”

Perhaps they knew that the two brothers were anxious to know the situation over there, so as soon as they came up, the merchant simply "revealed" the information he had gotten so that the two brothers could have the patience to listen to him slowly. Otherwise, depending on the current appearance of the two of them, not to mention the eldest son, the second son is already so anxious that he will grab his clothes and ask him what happened.

Sure enough, I heard that this merchant had already found some useful news, and Guan Gongyu's impatient heart slowly calmed down. He knew that he was too anxious just now, and he was a little embarrassed to peek at his eldest brother. Fortunately, his eldest brother was still very stable, sitting there looking at the merchant with a smile, and motioned for him to tell the news he knew.

Before Gong Yu could breathe a sigh, he heard the merchant begin to speak. He immediately sat patiently and attentively as the merchant recounted what he had heard.

"That Zhao family is indeed very xenophobic. Their families are generally reluctant to deal with outsiders, except for the head of the family and a few stewards. Most of the Zhao family is invisible to outsiders. After I arrived in the county seat, I inquired about the news of the Zhao family, except for the head of the Zhao family who likes to flatter everyone and then thinks too highly of himself, there are only two or three Zhao family members who "show" their faces in front of outsiders. ”

Hearing that the Zhao family was so xenophobic, although the two Gong Jian brothers already knew a general outline in advance, but after listening to the merchant like this, the two of them deeply realized how strict the Zhao family's xenophobic ancestral training was. It turned out that their family was actually other than the head of the family. , there are only two or three people who can deal with outsiders and appear in front of outsiders.

At this time, the 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?"
