Chapter 58
Seeing his younger brother who was still "touching" the piece of paper and hesitating not knowing what to do, Gong Jian smiled and reached out to take the paper, he put the paper on top of his head, and after carefully looking at it in the sun for a while, he turned his head to Gong Yu and said, "Did you tell that little brother about the things I taught you that may change in your life?" ”
Although Gong Jian's words were questioning, his tone was affirmative. Hearing the eldest brother's question, Gong Yu nodded hurriedly.
He did tell Zhao Rong all the things that his eldest brother gave him, but he didn't know how many his little brother remembered. However, looking at the piece of paper in front of him, Gong Yu's heart was still full of relief. It seems that what he said has been remembered by the little brother and can be used flexibly.
To say that since Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao walked out of the Zhao family, what they saw, heard, and felt was a completely new world. It can be said that the journey from the Zhao family to the provincial capital is a new beginning for Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao. They never imagined that after leaving the Zhao family, the outside world would be so wonderful and diverse.
There are so many people out there, so many kinds of lives, so many things, which they have never thought of or seen. And Zhao Rong even saw some things that he had read in books before, but he couldn't understand at all. It can be said that that road is no less than a new life for Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao.
And when they arrived in the provincial capital, especially after meeting Gong Yu, when the three of them traveled together, they even "exposed" the master and servant, and all kinds of strangeness to the lives of outsiders.
And Gong Yu is even more rare to meet a friend who can talk to him so speculatively. In addition, with his friend, he can soon feel that he doesn't know much about some common sense of daily life and dealing with people. So it was rare that Gong Yu said more in front of Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao than he had ever said.
Even later, he finally told Zhao Rong everything he could think of, just looking forward to this little brother being able to master more things. Looking at the blank paper in front of him that he couldn't see anything of himself at all, Gong Yu felt that what he said was not in vain.
When Gong Yu turned his head, he found that his eldest brother had already stopped taking this blank piece of paper and looking for traces in the sun, but walked to the table and lit the candle that he had just found in the house.
It seems that the eldest brother has found a way to make those words visible. And seeing that the eldest brother lit the candle, Gong Yu probably also understood which method Zhao Rong used to make the words disappear this time.
Sure enough, I saw Gong Jian holding the white paper, carefully approaching the candle flame, and evenly baking the back of the paper. Gradually, the front of the paper slowly showed some traces. He patiently baked the paper evenly until all the words on the surface were visible.
Seeing the words clearly displayed on the paper, Gong Yu was excited. He knew that his little brother had always been very smart, and he thought that it was extremely safe to use this method to deliver messages.
Just now, didn't I just put that piece of paper next to me as a piece of waste paper, and I didn't think that this piece of paper was the point. But it was obvious that Gong Yu didn't care about these things, and he asked urgently: "Big brother, what did Zhao Rong write in the letter?"
Gong Jian didn't answer Gong Yu's question, but handed the letter in his hand to the second brother and asked him to read it himself. Gong Jian himself sat down on the chair slowly, unconsciously tapping the table with his right hand, while thinking about the letter he had just seen from Zhao Rong.
Zhao Rong didn't say much about his situation in the letter, but said that his situation was safe so far, and thanked the two brothers for reminding him. Of course, he also said that Zhao Rong himself realized that his previous treatment in the Zhao family was indeed very suspicious.
It can be said that the little brother he knows is indeed very clever, although it is not obvious in the letter, but it has been revealed between the lines that Zhao Rong thinks that he is being calculated, and it is most likely because of his own identity, after all, as the only son-in-law of the head of the Zhao family. Thinking that the position of the head of the Zhao family in the future should have been his, but now this kind of conspiracy and trickery against him has caused Zhao Rong to realize his identity and what kind of threat he has brought to himself.
So at the end of the letter, Zhao Rong made it clear that he didn't expect much of it, or that he didn't think too much about being able to become the head of the Zhao family, but emphasized that he wanted to be free.
Gong Jian pondered in his heart, Zhao Rong is indeed a smart person. In terms of the form in front of him, to help such a person get out of the predicament, he will eventually have to defeat many competitors, and he doesn't know who is behind the scenes, no matter what the form is, it means that they want to seize the position of the next head of the Zhao family, which is basically a fool's dream.
And Zhao Rong saw this clearly, so he clearly wrote in the letter, he did not want to compete for the position of the next head of the family, but hoped that he could get rid of the shackles of the Zhao family and live freely in the vast world.
It was because of Zhao Rong's request that Gong Jian felt that the little brother he knew was indeed a good friend.
If this person can't see his own situation clearly and blindly pursues the highest interests, then Gong Jian will look down on Zhao Rong, but this is not the case. Zhao Rong gave up the family business of Nuoda and gave up his powerful identity as the son-in-law of the Zhao family, and did not ask them to help him win the Zhao family and obtain the position of the next head of the Zhao family, but only hoped that he could get rid of the shackles of the Zhao family.
From this point of view, Zhao Rong's vision is more long-term than most of the Zhao family. In fact, I can't understand how this kind of ancestral precept of unanimously excluding outsiders can be passed down.
Under such ancestral teaching, how could the children of the Zhao family thrive. After all, it is completely xenophobic, so it also limits his vision and contact, how can the children who are educated in this way be broad-minded and inclusive.
And Zhao Rong has obviously broken through the shackles of the Zhao family, seen the broader world outside, and also understood that the Zhao family is just an extremely narrow part of the world, and the outside world is vast and boundless.
Of course, as a member of the Zhao family, Zhao Rong should know more about the prosperity of the Zhao family. From the news I heard from my second brother, I can know that Mr. Zhao has also been a rich child who grew up in fine clothes and jade food, and he is a noble and noble family.
