Chapter 41: Speechless
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.
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.
At this point, neither brother knew what to do to feel. After all, dragging this Zhao Shiyi's blessing, the merchant was able to enter the Zhao family smoothly and seek a job to work, and he also heard the news by the way. But for the Zhao family to be able to appear such an alternative brother, both of them felt very unbelievable.
Perhaps because of the surprise of seeing the two brothers clearly, the merchant rarely said a few more words to this Zhao Shiyi: "This Zhao Shiyi's grandfather was also in the limelight in his generation. He was the brother of the head of the Zhao family of that generation, and he also managed all the affairs of the family, so he still had a lot of power in the family. It's just that his branch is a little thin in terms of heirs. Zhao Shiyi's grandfather only had one son from his father, and no other children. And in his generation, there is only Zhao Shiyi. So the family looked at this Zhao Shiyi like beads in their eyes.
When he was a child, he relied on Zhao Shiyi's "sex" and didn't send him to clan school at all. is a little older, no matter what kind of mistakes Zhao Shiyi made or what kind of trouble he caused, his father and grandfather completely covered it up. This made Zhao Shiyi very bold, not afraid of heaven and earth, and somehow contracted all kinds of bad habits.
So later, the Zhao family couldn't lock him up. If you want to say that the one who walks outside the most, it is not the people in charge of the Zhao family, but the guy Zhao Shiyi. He often slipped out and wandered around gambling houses, restaurants and even "brothels" in the county. ”
Hearing such a large number of introductions from the merchant, the Gong Jian brothers were a little dumbfounded. They just listened to the general introduction of the merchant, but they thought that the Zhao family could appear such a child, who eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles, and is really surprised. But he didn't expect this Zhao Shiyi to grow up like this, no wonder he was out of place with the rest of the Zhao family.
Gong Yu listened to the merchant's narration at this time, and he was also a little fascinated. He asked the merchant with some doubts: "Then this Zhao Shiyi appears outside so often, doesn't anyone in their family care about him?"
Hearing Gong Yu's question, the goods Lang also smiled innocently, and then he said: "It's not that no one has taken care of it." It's just that his grandfather still has a lot of weight in the clan, and he quickly suppressed the voices of those people's protests. Besides, Zhao Shiyi, this kid is also elf and eccentric. When he walked outside, he didn't "reveal" his identity as the Zhao family, so outside, there were few people who really knew that he was the Zhao family. ”
This time, Gong Yu understood. It turned out that when Zhao Shiyi was eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling outside, he didn't show his identity. This is wearing a vest and going out to Hutian Haiti, and no one knows where his nest really is.
At this time, Gong Jian opened his mouth and said lightly: "It seems that the eldest brother's old friend in that county town has a lot of power, and he can actually make friends and deal with Zhao Shiyi." ”
The merchant smiled innocently again, and nodded busily. He also roughly said earlier that his old friend is also a local snake, if he didn't have the ability to know a person like Zhao Shiyi this time, he would not have been able to complete the task so smoothly.
To say that this Zhao Shiyi is also vigilant enough outside, at least he has not "exposed" his feet in other places. The reason why he "revealed" his true identity was only because this guy was addicted to gambling the most. So the time spent gambling in the gambling house is too long, and he is probably present in various casinos, and the famous gambling house owners all know this guy.
But this guy's family property is still relatively rich, and he is also more knowledgeable about current affairs. So at the beginning, he gambled money in the rented house, of course, the major gambling houses are very welcome, after all, this guy is not good luck and technology, and he is basically the owner who comes to the door directly with the silver.
Later, it should be said that Zhao Shiyi was still very aware of his own situation. So when their family property was not much, the level of his gambling money was of course getting lower and lower. When he had no money in his pocket, he didn't dare to gamble in that kind of big casino, so he could only go to a roadside stall to live a drug addiction.
Zhao Shiyi, who is so cautious, is said that no one will generally expose his fake identity. But if you want to blame him, he was too ostentatious at the beginning, so he was inevitably targeted by his old friend. Later, his old friend partnered with the boss in the gambling house to trap Zhao Shiyi. Then he reached out to Zhao Shiyi when he was in danger, and let him accept a great favor from his old friend. Only then did Zhao Shiyi take off his vest and "reveal" his true identity.
But there is no need to mention these in front of the two young masters of the palace, so the merchant can only smile at Gong Jian's words, but he is not saying anything, but continues to talk about his experience.
"Thanks to the help of that Zhao Shiyi, I got a position as a small servant in the courtyard of the head of the Zhao family. It was also a stroke of luck that one of his housekeepers assigned me directly to serve by his side. The merchant only used luck and connections to explain that he got into the Zhao family. As for the fact that he later used his communicative skills to get acquainted with a good yard of servants, he didn't mention it at all.
It's not that the merchant won't give credit to himself, but he knows what the two palace young masters in front of him are most concerned about now. So if he says now, no matter how hard he tries to get acquainted with those servants, it is not the right time.
