The lamp was placed in such a good position that when it was lit in the afternoon, when viewed from the outside, it was very obvious that the earnest appearance of the scholar at the desk in the room was placed on the window.

And there is also some just right breeze in this position, which will not blow out the candlelight, but can make the candle flame sway, so that the people outside feel that the people inside occasionally have some small movements, and they are not motionless.

In this way, it unconsciously gives the dummy inside a little more realism.

To put it simply, it is to make people outside feel that the person who sits and reads hard inside is Zhao Luo.

"Cousin-in-law, why are you asking this?" Zhao Ranran asked puzzled.

"Ranran, it seems that Zhao Luo is more smart and clever than I imagined, if I can guide him well, it will not be easy in the future." Bai Jinli said with some sighs.

This kind of young man who has an active mind and is willing to use his brain is actually very potential.

It's many times smarter than the kind of person who only knows how to read to death.

It's just that Zhao is smart and smart, and in the end he lacks the correct guidance of others.

No one gave him guidance at critical times, and no one gave him a general direction, so that he just used his cleverness in some small things.

And Zhao Luo's person is emotional, which is an advantage.

But if it's just like this, if you don't know how to restrain yourself, it can also become a fatal shortcoming.

The last time he beat Liu Zhou in order to make Zhao Ranran angry, it can be seen.

If he can still grow his brain while reluctantly feelings, don't be temporarily confused by these things, presumably he will also restrain himself and not expose himself when dealing with Liuzhou.

To blame, only blame the child for being too young, too impulsive, bloody, but a little less sensible.

But it's also very rare, much better than the average young person.

If you say it carefully, no matter how restrained and calm a person is, when something happens to someone you really care about, your mood will always be uneasy.

All in all, Zhao Luomu is actually a treasure boy, far more powerful and potential than the gentleman he shows.

"Is that so?" Zhao Ranran nodded and asked.

Although she didn't know why her cousin-in-law said this, since her cousin-in-law said it, it naturally had her reasons, and she believed it.

After listening to the conversation between Bai Jinli and Zhao Ranran, the little man who was standing aside with his head down couldn't help but remember these words in his heart.

When the young master comes back, he must tell the young master all these words as they are.

As the young master's closest servant, only he really understands the young master's suffering.

Since the young master has grown up so much, no one has praised his young master so much.

Mrs. and Master are always scolding the young master for not studying seriously, walking without grace, acting too absurdly, etc., but they have not praised his young master.

"Hmm."

"Your name is wood, aren't you? You really don't know where Zhao is at the moment? Bai Jinli nodded, and asked the little guy beside her.

"Back to this lady, the little one really doesn't know, and he doesn't dare to hide it...... Wait a minute. ”

The little guy lowered his head and was talking sincerely, when he suddenly stopped talking when he heard a small voice coming from the courtyard.

After a few seconds, Mu Tou continued to speak: "Miss, madam, there is no one in the courtyard on weekdays, and this movement should be caused by the young master." ”

"Let's go, go out and have a look."

After walking into the courtyard, Bai Jinli and Zhao Ranran found that the sound of rustling that appeared just now was gone, and the whole courtyard was very quiet.

Not to mention the human figure, I didn't see a single ghost.

After Zhao Ranran glanced at the courtyard, she looked around the courtyard for a long time, and then asked with some doubts.

"Wood, didn't you say that Fang Cai's voice was made by Zhao Luo? Why don't you see others? ”

"This ...... Miss, wait a minute, maybe it's just that the young master has come back with a message. ”

After the little boy Mu replied, he walked to the corner of the wall not far away, and then squatted down and touched it for a long time, holding a small paper ball folded together and walked over.

"Okay, it's really okay for Zhao to end the curtain. Look at him, does he want to stay home at night again? Zhao Ranran sighed again.

Her unconscious brother has a lot of tricks.

In the past, when she came to find Zhao Luo, she would always be persuaded to quit by the various reasons he taught the little girl, or after learning that he was not there, she turned around and left.

I didn't know that there was such a connection between Zhao Luomu and his little servant Mu.

It seems that her intuition is really right, in this mansion, the person closest to Zhao Luo is really the wood in his yard.

It's just that in the past, Mu would help Zhao end the curtain to hide the news, why is he willing to expose Zhao Luo's secret in front of them today?

Actually, it's no wonder that Zhao Ranran thinks too much about Bai Jinli, and even Mu Tou himself regrets it.

Originally, he was going to help the young master keep the secret all the time, but when he heard them praising the young master, he only cared about being happy for the young master for a while, and subconsciously relaxed his vigilance and accidentally said this.

And having said everything, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take out the note.

Anyway, he also knows that the relationship between the young lady and the young master is still very good now, and the young lady will definitely not harm the young master.

If the people who came were the lady and the master, then he would not leak the secret if he was killed.

After comforting himself, Mu opened the note and looked at the contents on it, and his face turned pale instantly.

"What's wrong? Could it be that Zhao ended up and got into trouble outside again? Finding that Mu's expression was not quite right, Zhao Ranran couldn't help but ask.

"Miss, young master, he ...... Something happened to him. ”

Wood's hand trembled slightly, and he handed the note to Zhao Ranran's face, and his mind was chaotic.

"Miss, this place where the news is delivered is only known to me and the young master, and the others absolutely don't know. And now someone has sent news from that place, which means that the young master must have been coerced. ”

"And I know the young master's handwriting, the words on it are not written by the young master, but the signature is the young master's handwriting."

"What to do? Do you want to tell the lord and the lady about this? ”

"But if you tell the master and the lady, they know that they will definitely kill the young master, this is ......"

Listening to the wood's helpless voice, Zhao Ranran couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure that the signature is Zhao Luo's words?" ”

"It's a little certainty, it's absolutely impossible to admit mistakes, and the place where the news is delivered, if the young master doesn't say it, no one else will know." Wood swore with a sworn face.

"This Zhao is over, he dares to gamble, and he was tied up after losing so much, it's really a shame for our Zhao family!"

After confirming the authenticity of this matter, Zhao Ranran was also very angry in her heart.

The letter said that Zhao Luomu lost 8,000 taels in gambling with others, and asked the Zhao family to send 8,000 taels of silver immediately after receiving the letter, otherwise they would break Zhao Luo's arms and legs and cut off his fingers.

Their Zhao family's style is also very strict, and it is absolutely not allowed to gamble money into the Qinglou to abduct others, otherwise they will definitely be beaten to death by the family.

Although Zhao ended absurdly over the years, he never entered the casino, did not go to the Qinglou, and only did some simple things that should be done.

Why is he so depraved now?

"Miss, young master, he is not such a person, I feel that he must have been fooled."

Mu Tou looked at Zhao Ranran's angry face, for fear that she would tell the rest of the family about this matter in anger, so he quickly knelt down and explained.

"It's also possible! He didn't learn well day by day, and he followed what kind of fox pot dog friends, and how many times he talked about it, he didn't listen, and he was angry. Zhao Ranran thought about it and felt that it was not impossible for wood.

The last time this stupid brother wanted to tease his cousin-in-law, he was instigated by his friends.

Ay! The more I think about it, the more angry I get!

She really didn't want to care about it, but if she didn't care about it, she was afraid that Zhao Luomu would really be broken and his fingers chopped off as written on the paper.

If he told his family, he would have been beaten to death at least.

At this moment, Zhao Ranran was angry and worried, and after thinking for a long time, she finally made up her mind.

"Okay, wood, you get up, I won't tell my father about this for the time being, I'll figure it out."

"Miss, you are so good to the young master, you say, is there anything small that can help? You just command. Mu couldn't help but kowtow twice at Zhao Ranran.

"No need, you are good at guarding the yard, just don't let my father and mother find out that he is not at home." After Zhao Ranran finished speaking, she looked at Bai Jinli and spoke.

"Cousin-in-law, I'm afraid you won't be able to see Zhao for the time being. Why don't you go back first, and I'll take him to visit your house another day? ”

Bai Jinli was standing beside Zhao Ranran, and naturally saw the content of the note, and asked at this moment.

"Ranran, how are you going to deal with this matter yourself?"

"I saved some silver before, and I also shared a lot of money after investing in Koi Pavilion, which was just enough to redeem Zhao Luo. After redeeming him, I will beat him up again. ”

"Hmm." Bai Jinli just nodded slightly, without agreeing or objecting.

"Cousin-in-law, then I'll go back to the yard to pack up my things first, and I won't send you for a while."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Ranran hurriedly walked to her yard, for fear that if she delayed for a while, Zhao would be abused.

Looking at the back of Zhao Ranran leaving, Bai Jinli pondered something while walking.

"Xiangming, help me deliver a letter to Jiangliu Alley in the north of the city."

"Master, you say." Xiangming stepped forward and asked.

When Zhao Ranran hurriedly took the silver and called the carriage to go out, she found Bai Jinli standing there waiting for her at the door.

"Cousin, why are you here?"

"Ranran, I'll go with you." Bai Jinli opened her mouth uneasily.

"It's okay, cousin-in-law, I can do it myself, the letter said that as long as you give them the money that Zhao Luomu owes, they will let Zhao Luomu go. You're so busy on weekdays, there's no need to run with me. ”
