Chapter 229
The shopkeeper was also obedient, and after entering the door, he just said hello, and seeing that the two sides did know each other, he immediately exited the room. Although he didn't know why the two young brothers in front of him, as well as this somewhat strange merchant, gathered in his small inn, but after the person said hello, the shopkeeper also knew that he shouldn't be nosy, so he just treated these people respectfully, didn't inquire too much, and even left the room early to give them a chance to talk.
And after the shopkeeper exited the room, the merchant showed an excited expression, he returned to the Zhao family this time, and his mood can be described as wave after wave from high to low, back and forth so many times.
At the beginning, he was ambitious to rush back to the Zhao family, and he always felt that he had met a noble person this time. With such an opportunity, as long as you show your ability to do things, you will be able to accompany this new person in the future, at least it is to serve tea and pour water for others, send messages and send letters, and do a small thing to do things by the side of the master, and your worth will increase a lot.
But who knew that when the merchant just arrived at Zhao's house, he poured a basin of cold water on his head. It turned out that this matter did not go as he thought, and he was indeed blinded by the bright future, and he simply forgot the reality in front of him. So at that time, the merchant was really depressed. He felt that he had messed up the matter this time, let alone following the master of lifting, and it was estimated that after this incident, the impression of the master of lifting would be much worse.
And later, when he gradually calmed down his mind and accepted the reality, a big pie fell from the sky. Xiao Tao actually told him that there was such good news. Now he can be regarded as having completed the things entrusted by the old man, and such a glorious completion of the task is something that the merchant has never thought of before.
And time was pressing, and when he couldn't persuade the steward to let him go, the merchant had the consciousness of a dead fish and a broken net at that time. He felt that even if he lost the job of the Zhao family, he had to do this thing well, but he didn't expect that the peak would turn around, and the steward would actually let him out happily after a trip. Although he still doesn't understand what is going on here, he is very grateful to God in his heart, and now that the result seems to be going well, he also has the face to talk about his achievements in front of the old man.
So the merchant was very excited to tell the Gong Jian brothers all the things he had experienced in the past few days. From his words, it can be heard that he is indeed in a very happy mood now, I saw that he was hurriedly describing all the experiences in the past few days, and the expressions on his face were much richer, even if it was just the two Gong Jian brothers listening to the merchant's description next to him, as if they had personally experienced the ups and downs of his past few days.
In the end, the merchant took out the two invitations with body temperature from his arms, put them on the table in front of the two brothers, and said the things agreed with Xiao Tao and the two directly.
"Two sons, I have already made an agreement with Xiao Tao, so the two sons can go to Zhao's house with confidence that day. I won a guy to receive guests, and when it was almost noon, the two sons arrived at Zhao's house, and I must have waited there, and then I took the two sons to meet Zhao Gongzi in the small garden that had been agreed. ”
The two Gong Jian brothers listened to the description of the merchant just now, and they were also very emotional for him. Unexpectedly, what seemed like a simple matter was so difficult to do in the Zhao family. And to their surprise, even though the current situation is very unfavorable, the final result is very good, at least, now they have a chance to really face Zhao Rong.
When they learned the result, the two brothers breathed a long sigh of relief in their hearts. Before, they heard the description of the merchant, in fact, a heart has been hanging, and they are very worried that this matter will not go well, but now it seems that the result is still good.
Thinking of this, Gong Jian reached out and picked up the invitation card that the merchant had put on the table just now, but he opened it and took a look, but when he saw that nothing was written inside, Gong Jian was stunned.
Although his action is not big, Gong Yu, who is next to Gong Jian, has always been very concerned about the reaction of his eldest brother, so he also noticed this small detail of Gong Jian. The merchant over there had already finished telling the story of these days, and now it seemed to him that everything was going very well, and the old man had just said that their plan was good, and he had agreed to act according to their plan. Then the next thing is to go back to Zhao's house by yourself, wait for the birthday banquet day, and find a chance to receive the two sons.
So the merchant who relaxed his mood really didn't notice Gong Jian's slight movements. However, Gong Yu also picked up another invitation, since he knew that when the eldest brother of the merchant was there just now, his eldest brother did not show any abnormality, until he picked up this invitation, the eldest brother's body froze slightly, so the problem should be with this invitation.
Flipping through the invitation, Gong Yu was also stunned. Although he has never accepted an invitation from anyone, he is still very clear about the appearance of ordinary invitations. And he has seen a lot of invitations from others to his eldest brother. Since the eldest brother was admitted to Xiucai, their family has received a lot of invitations to the eldest brother to the banquet every day. So Gong Yu is also very familiar with the invitation. Seeing that nothing was written in the invitation, he also understood why the eldest brother froze a little just now, this invitation is not complete.
Gong Yu didn't know why his eldest brother clearly saw this flaw, but he didn't say anything. He could only ask his eldest brother's opinion with his eyes. Anyway, his eldest brother didn't say anything to the merchant, so it can be seen that it is not very appropriate to ask directly.
Sure enough, when Gong Yu looked at Gong Jian, he found that his eldest brother was comforting him with his eyes, and nodded slightly. At this moment, he finally knew that his eldest brother was still sure of his attitude just now, so he retracted the idea of asking the merchant, and simply put the invitation back on the table without showing any abnormality.
And here Gong Jian has also put the invitation back on the table, and said to the merchant with a calm expression just now: "Hmm." Brother Merchant, we know this plan, and we guarantee that we will arrive at Zhao's house on time that day. This matter can go so smoothly, thanks to the efforts of the merchant's brother, you have worked hard. ”
