The merchant was a little anxious, he didn't expect Xiao Tao to look like he didn't know anything. Just now, he saw that Xiao Tao was still very concerned about the situation of his young master, and thought that this Xiao Tao had also realized that his young master's situation was a little special.

But I didn't expect that when I talked about the different reactions of his family's situation, Xiao Tao actually had an inexplicable expression. The merchant still decided to tell him what Gong Jian told him and the doubts about the existence of the two brothers at that time: "First of all, the young master Gong Jian said that the housekeeper of your family suddenly came to the provincial capital and asked your young master to go home early. At that time, his attitude was not like the attitude towards his master, and he was not polite at all. ”

This sentence was actually read out by the merchant. He did just remember what Gong Jian said at the time, but in fact, he didn't know what the attitude of the Wang steward was. But since Gong Jian said this, of course he had to repeat it, otherwise with Xiao Tao's appearance that he felt that everything didn't exist now, how could he be vigilant.

And after Xiao Tao heard the merchant's words, his face became a little ugly, and he now recalled that all along, the five housekeepers who were really in charge of power in the family did not have a good attitude when facing their own young master.

He didn't pay attention to this before, but it was because his young master rarely met those five people, and when there were outsiders, their attitude was still slightly hidden. So I didn't make anyone suspicious.

The main reason why the Steward Wang had such a bad attitude towards them when he went to the provincial capital this time was because when the Steward Wang had been looking at his young master before, he was always unpleasant. If there is a chance to be in the same room with the young master, this Steward Wang tries not to look at it as much as possible, which is why Steward Wang's attitude is so bad this time, but neither the young master nor he feels particularly abnormal.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tao explained a little weakly: "That, what, that housekeeper Wang is the right-hand man of the master's side." Ordinary masters don't want to offend him, and often those young ladies and young masters who are out of the house will greet him respectfully when they meet this royal steward. So his attitude towards my young master has also been around for a long time. Maybe Young Master Gong doesn't know about this situation, but this situation is still very normal in our family. ”

It's good that Xiao Tao didn't explain, but his explanation made the merchant's eyes widen, he never thought that there was such a situation in the Zhao family. The five housekeepers are just having rights, and they are just subordinates, how can they have a bad attitude towards their masters, which cannot exist in other families or ordinary rich and noble families.

He asked Xiao Tao again with some incredulity: "Do you mean that when the other young masters and young ladies meet these five butlers, the butler's attitude towards them is also very bad, and they come and go?"

Xiao Tao stared at a pair of innocent big eyes and nodded slowly. Anyway, what he saw in the Zhao family was indeed like this. These five housekeepers are very majestic, in the Zhao family's family's family, in addition to the master and wife, basically everyone else has to pat the five housekeepers' ass.

Even when the Zhao family members occasionally met these five housekeepers outside, they were also very respectful. Maybe it is only those clan elders who see these five stewards when they see the master's attitude towards their subordinates. And the rest of the people saw that the five butlers were going to flatter and curry favor. This phenomenon is something that Xiao Tao has seen since she was a child, so she thinks it's normal.

Seeing Xiao Tao's natural reaction, the merchant was also a little speechless. He never thought that he had just relayed Gong Jian's first question, and the answer he got was actually like this.

Although the merchant didn't know how bad the Wang steward was when he treated Young Master Zhao Rong, he saw that when Gong Jian said this, Gong Yu next to him showed an angry look.

From Gong Yu's reaction, the merchant can imagine how indignant this Wang butler's attitude towards his own young master in front of outsiders is. But looking at the reaction of Xiao Tao in front of him, it was much beyond his expectations.

It turns out that this kind of thing is commonplace in the Zhao family, this housekeeper actually has so much power, and he doesn't even look at the young master who is coming out, where is this what a subordinate should be.

The merchant sighed helplessly, he didn't know what to say now, after all, the things that he and the two palace young masters found incomprehensible were very normal in the eyes of Xiao Tao and the other Zhao family.

However, he has also been in the Zhao family for many days, and he probably understands that there are indeed many unbelievable things in the Zhao family. If he has more of this, he also feels that it is acceptable. Now he felt that since Xiao Tao thought this was normal, he could directly reflect this situation to the two Gong Jian brothers. It seems that this Zhao family is indeed completely different from other families, and it is no wonder that the person warned him in advance, the Zhao family is simply an unimaginable place.

In the end, the merchant could only sigh helplessly, "Since you say so, then this matter should be regarded as a normal phenomenon for him." But I still have to say that your Zhao family is really strange at this point. In any case, it is completely impossible for this kind of situation to exist in other families, and the housekeeper in charge can actually look down on the young master. ”

But Xiao Tao has never left the Zhao family since he was bought by his wife when he was a child, let alone how could he understand the situation in other people's homes. Although he heard the merchant's words, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but in the end, the concept formed over the past ten years still prevailed.

He could only blink his eyes, indicating that he had heard the merchant's words, but he didn't know how to react. Anyway, since he had an impression, those housekeepers didn't have any respect for their young master.

Of course, this is mainly because the old lady has been completely indifferent a few years ago, and rarely appears in front of outsiders, so the status of her young master will inevitably be affected. After all, Xiao Tao believed that if those housekeepers and the young master appeared in front of the old lady at the same time, those housekeepers would definitely show a deferential appearance to their young master.

He is still confident in this, just like everyone else, even when the old lady is in front of the old lady, he has to show a rare smile to the young master and show a loving appearance.
