Chapter 81: How Much Does It Cost?
"It's all there."
"Let them all in." Sheng Zhiyao nodded.
Gong Jie answered, and after a while, he walked into the tea room with ten people, and the ten people stood in two rows, bowing their heads and respectfully waiting for Sheng Zhiyao's orders.
Sheng Hanmo watched this scene all the time beside him, and was curious.
"Sister, what are you going to do here?" Sheng Hanmo couldn't help but ask.
"Brother, this is the secret guard I asked Gong Jie to go to Yuchen Palace to pick for you."
"We? Why? Sheng Hanmo looked at her suspiciously after hearing this.
"Because now the Hou Mansion is a thorn in the side of many people, and I can only sleep in peace if I protect my home!" Sheng Zhiyao replied lightly.
"Sister, are you worried that someone will hurt us?" Sheng Hanmo guessed.
"Yes." Sheng Zhiyao nodded and said: "Now as soon as I come back to the Hou Mansion, I will become the target of the public, I don't know when someone will target me, so I must protect you in advance, I don't want others to threaten me with you." ”
"I see, I see." Sheng Hanmo suddenly realized after hearing this.
"Hmm." Sheng Zhiyao snorted lightly and continued: "Brother, sending two secret guards to protect you is actually helping me, once there is any news that needs to be delivered, they can also notify the people of the Hou Mansion in time." ”
"Okay, I see." Sheng Hanmo thought about it and agreed to her suggestion.
Sheng Zhiyao smiled and nodded when he saw this.
"Gong Jie, have you asked them about their wishes?" Sheng Zhiyao turned to Gong Jie and asked.
"Back to the master, my subordinates have asked their opinions, and they are all willing to come to the Hou Mansion to serve."
Sheng Hanmo looked at the dark guards in surprise when he heard this.
"Are you really willing to stay with me? I'm not as capable as my sister, and I don't know anything but study. Sheng Han asked indifferently, although he felt that his sister's words were very reasonable, but he still asked with some skepticism.
Hearing this, the guards knelt on the ground: "Yes." ”
"Get up, the Hou Mansion doesn't have so many rules, and I don't like to kneel, just do your part, and don't worry about the rest." Sheng Hanmo said with a smile.
"Subordinates obey!"
"Gong Jie, you assign it first, and let them know each other when the third brother comes over." Sheng Zhiyao commanded.
"Yes."
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.
Sheng Hangu was startled by everyone as soon as he entered the tea room, he never thought that there would be so many more people in the tea room after he went out for a while.
"This is your newcomer?" Sheng Hangu looked at everyone and asked uncertainly.
"Third brother, this is the secret guard I picked for you." Sheng Zhiyao introduced.
Sheng Hangu was stunned for a moment, and then a touch of surprise appeared on his face.
"You asked Gong Jie to find it for me?"
Sheng Zhiyao nodded.
"You got all these people from Yuchen Palace?" Sheng Hangu turned his head and asked Gong Jie.
"Hui Gongzi, yes."
"How much does this cost?" Sheng Hangu raised his eyebrows.
Hearing Sheng Hangu's words, Gong Jie was stunned, and then shook his head with a wry smile.
"Childe, my subordinates don't know very well, the master asked his subordinates to do it, and the subordinates just obeyed orders." Gong Jie replied truthfully.
Sheng Hangu stopped speaking after hearing this, he looked at Sheng Zhiyao, his eyes full of shock.
"What? Square peg? Sheng Zhiyao asked when he saw this.
"No, nothing, I'm just a little shocked, when did you become so rich? Unexpectedly, so many secret guards of Yuchen Palace were obtained. Sheng Hangu looked at Sheng Zhiyao and teased.
"Third brother! I don't like to hear what you say, and if I'm rich, doesn't that mean you're rich. Sheng Zhiyao pretended to be angry when she heard this.
"Okay, okay, it's the third brother who is wrong, he shouldn't have teased you, but how did you do it? What's going on in your little head all day? Sheng Hangu asked curiously.
"Third brother, my sister is kind, why do you ask so much!"
Hearing this, Sheng Hanmo glared at Sheng Hangu.
Sheng Hangu pursed his lips when he saw this, and no longer pursued Sheng Zhiyao's actions, but shifted his target to look at the ten secret guards.
"I don't have any big ambitions, I just like people who talk a lot, so any of you who meets my requirements can stand up for yourself." Sheng Hangu looked at everyone and said.
Everyone exchanged glances with each other when they heard this, and finally stood up for two people.
Sheng Hangu looked at him and motioned for him to continue.
"I'm willing to stay with the third son!" The man said respectfully.
"And me!" The other also hurriedly expressed his position.
Sheng Hangu nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and he turned his head to look at Sheng Zhiyao: "Then the two of them." ”
Sheng Zhiyao nodded when she heard this: "Gong Jie, is there a girl here?" ”
"Back to the master, there are two female secret guards specially selected for the princess." Gong Jie replied respectfully when he heard this.
"Well, very good, a few of you have remembered, from now on you are the people of the Hou Mansion, you must be loyal to your duties, and you are absolutely not allowed to betray the Hou Mansion, and those who violate it will be killed!" Sheng Zhiyao's cold voice resounded throughout the tea room, making everyone in the room tremble when they heard it, even Sheng Hanmo and Sheng Han Valley.
"The subordinates keep in mind the teachings of their masters, and they dare not have any disobedience." Everyone said respectfully.
"Who are the remaining two who are not assigned?"
Sheng Zhiyao asked the last question, and everyone also turned their eyes to the two secret guards who had not yet been assigned.
The two guards looked at each other.
"Back to the master, it's a subordinate." The two replied in unison.
"In that case, then you two will stay with me with Gong Jie."
"Yes." The two replied in unison.
"Okay, you go down first, and then go back to the Hou Mansion to see my mother and father, and Gong Jie will stay first."
"Yes."
When everyone heard this, they left the room and hid in the courtyard.
"Gong Jie, do you have to ask how much is the pay?" Sheng Zhiyao asked curiously.
"Back to the master, the issue of remuneration has been negotiated, and the palace master said that it is good to follow the master's offer." Gong Jie replied.
Sheng Zhiyao was slightly stunned when she heard this: "I have the final say?" So what if I don't give it? ”
"Then it's better not to give it!" Gong Jie replied without hesitation.
"Haha! Well, we won't give it to my sister, and we have saved a lot of money! Sheng Hangu clapped his hands happily and laughed.
"Third brother." Sheng Zhiyao glanced at Sheng Hangu with disgust.
"Hehe, just kidding, how can the people of our Hou Mansion casually ask for other people's things, if this spreads, won't others think that we are a group of greedy citizens?" Sheng Hangu waved his hand and explained.
"That's right! Do you palace masters often do this? ”
"No, the palace master is more serious on weekdays, and he rarely chats with us, and he rarely appears in Yuchen Palace." Gong Jie shook his head and explained.
"In that case, I'm still paid the same as my grandfather before, but it's twice as much?" Sheng Zhiyao thought for a while.
"Yes, everything will be done according to the master's instructions."
"Okay, then I won't say more, I'll give it to you when I go back to the Hou Mansion."
"Yes, master." Gong Jie responded.
Then Sheng Zhiyao instructed the people in the store to tell them to study hard, and she would come to accept the training results tomorrow.
After giving the order, she left Tianxiang Pavilion with Sheng Hanmo and Sheng Hangu and returned directly to the Hou Mansion.
When she got home, it was dinner time, and after everyone had dinner in Qingliu Courtyard, she asked Gong Jie to bring people over.
"Father, mother, I have found four secret guards for the two of you to protect your safety, I hope you don't refuse!" Sheng Zhiyao looked at his parents and said.
Sheng Zhengye and Qi Xinyue suddenly widened their eyes in shock when they heard this, and then looked at her suspiciously.
"Zhiyao, your mother and I don't need anyone to protect you, but you need a lot." Sheng Zhengye asked worriedly, and Qi Xinyue also looked at her daughter when she heard this, wanting to know her plan.
"Father, you and mother don't need to worry about me at all, although I am young, I am not weak, and I am not afraid of being bullied." Sheng Zhiyao glanced at his father and mother and said.
What she meant was that she didn't want her parents to worry about her safety.
Hearing what she said, the hearts of the two relaxed a little, as long as she was okay, other things were not important.
"Okay, father won't refuse you, or you have the heart, since you are ready for me and your mother, we will agree."
