Chapter 887: Reluctance
Hearing Xiao Tao's exclamation, the three people in the room were all turning their heads to look at the door, curious who would be knocking on the door at this time, and hearing Xiao Tao's exclamation, Gong Jian and Gong Yu had a certain understanding in their hearts. It seems that the person who came is a servant in Zhao Rong's family, and I don't know what this person can find here for?
Unlike the curious expressions of the two Gong Jian brothers, Zhao Rong's face couldn't help but be a little gloomy at this time. In his heart, he always felt that the arrival of this steward Wang seemed to have some kind of purpose, and this result was something he would not be happy to see.
At this time, the housekeeper Wang had already opened his mouth to ask Xiao Tao: "Xiao Tao, since you are here, is the young master in the house?"
This steward Wang also has a certain status in the Zhao family, and he directly obeys the master. Although he is not the chief housekeeper in the house, he is the master's confidant. Therefore, the master always likes to let Steward Wang do some things.
Gradually, the status of this steward Wang became special, although he was not the most powerful, but because he always waited for the lord closely, no one dared to offend him, and even when the big butler met him, his attitude would be polite.
Of course, Xiao Tao didn't dare to offend such a character, and when she heard his question, she immediately replied honestly: "Yes, Steward Wang." The young master is meeting friends in the house. ”
In fact, Xiao Tao also felt in her heart that it was not a very good thing for Steward Wang to find this place all of a sudden. Anyway, he had a bad premonition in his heart, so when he deliberately answered Steward Wang, he still added that in the house, there were not only his own young masters, but also his young master's friends. I hope that if there is anything about this steward Wang, he can wait for them to return to their residence.
But obviously, this Wang steward didn't understand what Xiao Tao meant, or rather, he only heard the answer he wanted to know, and didn't pay attention to anything else. At this time, he pushed Xiao Tao away and stepped into the private room in great strides.
Seeing the three young people sitting in the private room, Steward Wang was even more contemptuous in his heart, so he didn't pay any special attention to the Gong Jian brothers, but strode in front of Zhao Rong, and after gently bending down and saluting, he stood up. Instead, before Zhao Rong spoke, he immediately spoke: "Young master, the master asked me to take you back." ”
Seeing Steward Wang's performance from just now to the current place, Zhao Rong held his breath in his heart. This steward Wang, who serves his father, is indeed arrogant enough, and even to himself, the only sister-in-law of the master, is so unkind.
However, the words he was about to reprimand the king's steward were choked by the words he said. He never thought that the return date that he and his family had said had not arrived at all, and his father had sent Steward Wang to take him home, what had happened?
In any case, he also had to ask clearly, after all, he had just finalized the itinerary with the eldest brother and the second brother Gong, why did he suddenly change his hexagram on his side? Now Zhao Rong doesn't know how to face the two Gong Jian brothers. Especially the second brother who is so good to himself.
Besides, going home early is something that Zhao Rong is very unhappy about. So he asked unhappily, "Steward Wang, is there something going on at home?" Why did the master ask me to go back? After all, before I came out, I had reported it to the old lady. I will probably have to stay in the provincial capital for ten days before I go home. ”
After listening to Zhao Rong's question, Steward Wang didn't say much, but bowed down, not letting others see the expression on his face, and answered Zhao Rong's question in a flat tone.
"Young master, the villain doesn't know what the master means, I just obeyed the master's dispatch, the master just asked me to come to the provincial capital to find the young master, and immediately escorted the young master home. As for what happened, the villain really doesn't know. ”
Zhao Rong felt a sigh of anger in his heart, this Wang Steward was indeed too cunning, what did he not know. Even though he usually spends most of his time in the study studying with the old man, Zhao Rong also knows something about things at home.
This steward Wang directly obeys his father, so he has a lot of power. In the family, the position of those slaves is also one of the best. Now he says he's going to take him home, but he doesn't tell himself why. I actually pushed it back, and I didn't know it. This is obviously perfunctory, how can you not make him angry.
Zhao Rong couldn't help but be angry, he slapped his palm on the table, and the teacup on the table also jumped. But Steward Wang's slightly arched body did not change at all.
The Wang steward still maintained what he had just done, and his mouth even urged: "Young master, you'd better go back with me quickly, let's pack our luggage and go home quickly." ”
He Zhao Rong was even more angry at this moment, and he scolded angrily: "If you don't tell me the ins and outs of the matter, why should I listen to you." Maybe you're just passing on my father's orders. Before I went out, I made it clear to my father and mother, and I also set a return date, and I would not go back in advance easily. ”
After saying this, in fact, Zhao Rong was even more depressed in his heart, given that this Steward Wang had been serving by his father's side, even if he was angry, he could not have any deterrence against this Steward Wang.
He was wondering in his heart, should he let Xiao Tao drive this Steward Wang out, even if he couldn't do anything excessive, but at least he should lose the face of Steward Wang, otherwise this Steward Wang would simply get too carried away.
Of course, he can't say anything about his usual attitude towards those servants, but for his master, this king's attitude is really excessive enough, and he should be made to suffer.
Just in Zhao Rong's heart, he was secretly planning how to embarrass this Wang butler who didn't know how to be respectful and humble, or make him lose face and make an ugly or something, but at this time, Steward Wang, who had been bending over to reply, stood up straight, took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, and shook it directly in front of Zhao Rong, so that he carefully put away the jade pendant.
After that, he immediately said, "The young master also saw it, I did come on the orders of the master. I also hope that the young master can cooperate, after all, the master's order is for us to go home immediately. ”
Looking at the jade pendant that was held in Steward Wang's hand and dangled in front of him just now, the calculations in Zhao Rong's heart just now flew out of the clouds.
