125 The right of the back house
Rong Zhao looked at it with a large bunch of keys, with a smug smile on his lips. Don't underestimate these keys, this is related to the lifeblood of the Hou Mansion, and it holds the power of the Hou Mansion's back house.
Everyone in the house, from the old lady to the marquis Rong, down to the slaves and craftsmen, everyone has to rely on these keys for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
This key is a symbol of power.
She thought that no matter what, if something like this happened, it would be impossible for the Gao family to be in charge of the back house anymore, but she didn't expect her father to hand over this matter to her, which was really unexpected.
Although this is also a hot potato, it is better to prevent the Gao family from stumbling on her and the old lady Lin from them, but it is better than the house power in the hands of others.
"Have you been sent out of the city safely?" asked Qiushui to put away the key, and Rong Zhaofang asked the person who was doing the errand.
Lonely Crane replied: "Miss, don't worry, Gao can't find it." She gave Rong Zhao a stack of silver tickets, "This is what the master returned to the young lady." ”
Rong Zhao nodded, and said suspiciously: "Why is it 50,000 taels, didn't I say that I wouldn't let Jiabai help and give him 10,000 taels?"
Gu Yu said: "The master said that he just moved his mouth and didn't make much effort, and the money was still reserved for the young lady in case of emergency." Moreover, the dart game was also sold for thousands of taels, which was enough for them to live. ”
Rong Zhao sighed slightly, "How can you let him help in vain?" And there are a group of brothers below him. Because of this incident, they can't go back to Changge City for the time being, they are in a foreign land, how can they live without money? You should have given him the money at that time. ”
The master that Gu Yu said was called Zheng Ming, and he was originally a guard for Rong Zhao's mother, the county lord of Chaoyang. However, since the death of the county lord of Chaoyang, he has left the Ronghou Mansion and no longer has dealings with the Hou Mansion, so the Gao family does not know him.
He has good skills, and he has saved some silver for many years, and a few years ago he started a dart game in Changge City, and his business was not good or bad, and he barely made a profit.
This time, Rong Zhao asked him for help, also through the lonely bird. Originally, he had taught Gu Yu kung fu and was her master.
As soon as he heard that the daughter of the county lord of Chaoyang asked him for help, he agreed to the matter without saying a word. Rong Zhao chose him to help, and he also took a fancy to him for opening a dart game, with such a business, Gao's release of the seal would be much more reassuring.
It's just that the dart game was sold half a month ago, and the Gao family sent someone to find the door, and the dart game has already changed hands.
Rong Zhao originally wanted to give them 10,000 taels as a hardship fee, so that when they got to other places, they could also use the money to open another dart game and live again, but he didn't expect him to ask for it.
Gu Yu relayed her master's words, "The master said that when the eldest young master and the county lord passed away one after another, he blamed himself for not protecting them well. Now it is his honor for Miss to ask him to help him with something, how can he ask for your money? He and his brothers have the strength, and they can mix and eat wherever they go, so let Miss not worry. ”
"How can you blame him for the death of his eldest brother and mother? Rong Zhao put the money in a box with red sandalwood carved peony flowers, and locked it with a lock, "Forget it, don't want it, when you turn around, you secretly buy that dart game back, and return it to him when he comes back." ”
Although Rong Zhao has never met him, he thinks that he is a loving and righteous person, otherwise he would not still be thinking about his eldest brother and mother after many years.
It's just that I don't know why he left the Hou Mansion in the first place, otherwise with his skills and qualifications, staying with his father may make a big difference.
But everyone has their own ambitions, and she didn't think about it again.
On the second day, Rong Han got married, and it was also Rong Zhao's first day to take care of the Hou Mansion, although it was a bit of a sedan chair that pierced his ears and eyes, but there was no mistake until Rong Han was sent to the sedan chair.
Looking at the sedan chair that Rong Han had left, Rong Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
She just took over, and she is a girl's family, and she doesn't understand many of the rules of marriage, so she is really in a hurry to take care of such a big thing on the first day she takes over, and her head is cloudy.
Fortunately, with the help of Xu's side, a lot of jokes were avoided.
Rong Han's aunt kept looking at the marrying team with tears in her eyes, and her eyes were full of reluctance. Second Master Rong held her shoulder and comforted her a few words, before following everyone back to the house.
When he walked to the mansion, Rong Zhao glanced at An Ziqian.
With Rong Zhao's warning in Tianxiang Guoselou last time, An Ziqian also came back with Rong Nuan this time, and as soon as he touched Rong Zhao's gaze, he quickly avoided it.
Rong Zhao's eyes were dark, he snorted lightly, shifted his gaze to look at Rong Nuan, and saw that her eyebrows were a little sad, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Now you are angry, now the people of the Manhou Mansion are looking at you with blank eyes, waiting in line to get in line with you. Rong Xin went to Rong Zhao, and the two chatted for a while, and then the conversation turned to Rong Zhao's power. She joked with Rong Zhao and said.
Rong Zhao peeled off an orange and stuffed one into her mouth, "But you also want to see so many pairs of eyes staring at me, waiting for me to make a mistake." ”
"That's when they look at it with greed in their eyes, and their hearts are sour. The orange was very sour, and Rong Xin just chewed a few bites and spit it out.
Rong Zhao smiled, handed the grapes to her, sighed slightly, and said: "There are hundreds of masters and slaves in the mansion, and there are many people who are not convinced, so it is not a piece of cake to make me a stumbling block." Don't look at the usual times they all respect me and fear me, in fact, ah, I complain in my heart. I don't know what will happen to you in the future. ”
"The second sister-in-law is stable and knowledgeable, she can help you. Rong Xin knew that this thing looked beautiful, but in fact, he didn't have to put some effort behind it.
Rong Zhao also knew that Xu was calm, so his father said at the time that Rong Zhao was very happy to let Xu assist her, "The second sister-in-law is indeed a talented and virtuous person, but after all, she is soft-spoken, and I have to bear it in case of trouble." ”
Rong Xin smiled and teased: "What's the matter, you Rong Zhao can't afford it?"
Rong Zhao smiled: "If I can't afford it, I can still be bullied?"
Rong Xin smiled and liked Rong Zhao's domineering character. The two talked for a long time, and then left before dinner. Rong Zhao wanted to keep her for dinner, but she shirked it, so Rong Zhao had to give up.
The people in the house thought that Miss Six would only be greedy for pleasure, but they didn't want to really get started, but they had a few moments. The means are vigorous, the mind is clear, the rewards and punishments are clear, and the affairs of the house are taken care of in an orderly manner, which makes people look at each other. Even Gao's inquiry was incredible.
However, the Gao family has been intimidating the Hou Mansion for many years, and there are many "loyal servants", so naturally some people are not satisfied that Rong Zhao robbed the eldest lady of her errand, and there was a lady before, and they could all get some oil and water. But since Miss Six came to power, they have no benefit at all, so they are working in secret.
Some people also think that Miss Six is just a girl's family, and she is in charge for the first time, so what can she do, and the second young grandmother is a person with a soft personality, so she has a perfunctory mind. Compared with when Gao was there, he was much more idle and lazy.
