Chapter 971: Separate
Xiao Tao also knows her current situation in the Zhao family. He knew that if it weren't for Madame's orders, he wouldn't even be able to discharge the young master's courtyard one step. He had never thought of doing this before, but now he wanted to understand the situation outside and do something for the young master, but he couldn't do it.
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Tao spoke: "I just don't know where the eldest brother is serving now?
This is also a thing that the merchant is more worried about, after all, it is a rare opportunity to meet Xiao Tao this time today. In fact, he had never thought that he would have such an opportunity to talk to the two of them for so long. But what about the next time they meet? And seeing that the time agreed between himself and the Gong Jian brothers is almost over, they have to prepare for the return trip.
Hearing the merchant's words, Xiao Tao felt even more guilty. As for the four stewards mentioned by the merchant, he had never even heard of it, let alone knew it. The reason why he was able to know the five housekeepers who followed the head of the Zhao family was mainly because the young master was so naughty when he was a child, and he did a lot of pranks to prank those housekeepers, so he was able to meet those people. But apart from those people and the old lady, Xiao Tao really didn't know much about the other servants in the master's courtyard.
Hearing that the merchant said that he had a good relationship with the steward, and even the servants had a good deal, Xiao Tao felt that he was a waste of time before, and he hadn't thought about anything for his young master at all.
He lowered his head in some shame, but after a moment, he raised his head again and looked at the merchant seriously. Now he has realized his own shortcomings, as well as his past negligence, but now is not the time for him to feel sorry for himself, it is better to be good now, and find ways to do their part and make some efforts.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tao nodded solemnly. said that he would explain his current situation to the young master as soon as possible, and asked the young master if he had any ideas next, or if he needed the help of the two palace young masters in the future.
Seeing that Xiao Tao finally listened to his advice, the merchant was also a lot more relieved. He looked at the sky, he and Xiao Tao had been delayed here for a long time, now it was better for him to go back quickly and talk back to the fourth steward, otherwise with that person's suspicion, it is estimated that he will be cranky again.
"Alright, let's get here today. I'm going to go back and talk to the four stewards, and if you have a chance to get out of the yard, I'm sure you'll see me soon." I hope you can carefully ask your young master's thoughts and wishes this time, and we had better be able to solve this problem as soon as possible. And in a few days, it will be almost the same time as I agreed with the two palace young masters. It is estimated that I will leave the Zhao family to meet with the two palace masters, and you should contact me as soon as possible before this. ”
Hearing the merchant mention, it was soon time for him to meet the two palace young masters, and Xiao Tao also knew that the time was waiting for no one. He still seized the opportunity to explain it to the young master as soon as possible, and found an opportunity to go out of the yard to contact the merchant.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tao also hurriedly stood up and walked out quickly, "Okay big brother, then I'll go back to the courtyard first and wait for my young master to come back." If I have a chance, I will definitely talk to him about the current situation, since the eldest brother still needs to go back to the fourth manager, then let's get out of here quickly. ”
After the two reached an agreement on this matter, they quickly left this remote courtyard. At the crossing of a small road, the two separated from each other on the left and right. Of course, the merchant rushed to the fourth child as soon as possible.
When the fourth child was puzzled because the merchant had not returned for a long time, he saw the merchant walk in. Before he could ask, the merchant had already told him about an interesting incident that had happened in the yard.
At this time, the fourth child's attention was distracted, and he also had a general understanding, maybe this merchant was going to see the excitement. Seeing that he was young, the fourth child still sighed in his heart, after all, he was still a young man. This person's curiosity is still a little heavier, but it is a manufacturable material, and if he wants to hone it for another two years, he will probably be able to become his right-hand man. For this, the fourth child is still very satisfied, so it is very easy, and the merchant will pass the customs.
This is also thanks to the merchant's good interpersonal relationship, so after walking out of the remote courtyard for a while, the merchant thought clearly, and the fourth child must have wondered why he took so long to go back and talk to him. So when he was on the way, he chatted with some servants passing by, and inquired if anything had happened in the yard in the afternoon?
Sure enough, just as he thought, the fourth child didn't pursue any more after hearing his words, but just waved his hand and sent him away to do something else. This time, the merchant passed the test easily, but his heart has been carrying it, and he still has to wait for the response from Xiao Tao's side.
said that Xiao Tao returned to Zhao Rong's courtyard with some thoughts, and as soon as he entered the door, the mother-in-law who watched the door saw his abnormality. After all, except for a few people in their courtyard, the others have been staying for several years, so they are very familiar with each other.
Xiao Tao came back with a strange emotion, and the mother-in-law who watched the door was of course very clear. She saw it at a glance, and hurriedly stopped Xiao Tao, in fact, for this young man who is about the same age as her grandson, this janitor is still very concerned.
Not to mention that the wife of the Zhao family arranged it, the servants in this courtyard served him, the only concubine, and it also had a special purpose. Except for the mother-in-law who is in charge of the door, the others are all young people, and they do not live in the Zhao family with their families. The others basically bought it intermittently from outside, and the earliest of them was of course Xiao Tao.
The other people also had no foundation in the Zhao family, and once they entered this small courtyard of Young Master Zhao Rong, they would never have a chance to go out. Fortunately, they originally came to the Zhao family singlely, so they didn't need to go out and deal with others. That is, the mother-in-law who guards the door is an old servant of the Zhao family.
But the janitor's family was also ill-fated, her son and daughter-in-law died early due to various accidents, leaving only a grandson who is about the same age as Xiao Tao.
