poisonous woman

Chapter 125
Rong Zhao looked at a bunch of keys with a smug smile on his lips.Don't underestimate these keys, they are related to the lifeblood of the Hou Mansion, and hold the power of the Hou Mansion's back house.

All the people in the mansion, from the old lady Rong Hou Ye down to the servants and artisans, all depend on these keys for basic necessities of life.

This key is a symbol of power.

She thought that no matter what happened, it would be impossible for Mrs. Gao to be in charge of the back house, but she didn't expect her father to entrust this matter to her, which was really unexpected.

Although this is also a hot potato, to prevent Mrs. Gao from stumbling her, and Mrs. Lin, the old lady, it is better than having the house rights in other people's hands.

"Has the person been sent out of the city safely?" Asking Qiushui to put away the key, Rong Zhaofang asked the person in charge.

Gu Wu replied: "Miss, don't worry, Mrs. Gao can't find it." She gave Rong Zhao a stack of bank notes, "This is returned to Miss by the master."

Rong Zhao nodded, and asked in confusion, "Why is it 5 taels? Didn't I say that I won't let others help for nothing, and give him 1 taels?"

Gu Wu said: "The master said that he was just talking and didn't put much effort into it. The money should be reserved for the young lady in case of emergencies. Besides, the escort agency also sold several thousand taels, which is enough for them to live on."

Rong Zhao sighed slightly, "How can I let him help for nothing? And there are a bunch of brothers under him. Because of this incident, they can't go back to Changge City for the time being, and they are living in a foreign land. How can they live without money? You were The money should be given to him."

The master Gu Wu mentioned was Zheng Ming, who was originally a bodyguard for Rong Zhao's mother, Princess Chaoyang.However, since the death of Princess Chaoyang, he left the Ronghou Mansion and no longer interacted with the Hou Mansion, so the Gao family did not know him.

He is skilled, and has saved some money over the years. A few years ago, he opened an escort agency on his own in Changge City. The business is not bad, and he barely makes a profit.

This time Rong Zhao asked him for help through Gu Wu.It turned out that he had taught Gu Wu Kung Fu, and he was her master.

When the daughter of Princess Chaoyang asked him for help, she agreed without saying a word.Rong Zhao chose him to help because he was also interested in running an escort agency. With such a business, the Gao family would feel much more at ease if he put a seal on him.

It's just that the Escort was sold half a month ago, and the Gao family sent someone to find the door, and the Escort had already changed hands.

Rong Zhao originally wanted to give them 1 taels as labor expenses, so that when they go to other places, they can also use this money to open another escort agency and start a new life, but he didn't expect that he didn't want it.

Gu Wu relayed her master's words, "The master said that when the eldest young master and the princess passed away one after another, he blamed himself for not protecting them well. Now it is his honor to ask him to help the lady with something, why would he ask for your money? He and the brothers They have strength, and they can make a living wherever they go, so don't worry, miss."

"How can he be blamed for the death of elder brother and mother? He really loves to be fooled." Rong Zhao put the money in a box carved with rosewood peony flowers and locked it with a lock. You secretly bought that bodyguard again, and returned it to him when he came back."

Although Rong Zhao has never met him, he feels that he is a loving and righteous person, otherwise he wouldn't still miss his elder brother and mother after so many years.

It's just that I don't know why he left the Hou's mansion in the first place, otherwise, with his skills and qualifications, staying with his father might make a lot of difference.

But everyone has their own ambitions, and she didn't think about it.

Rong Han got married on the second day, and it was also Rong Zhao's first day to take care of the Hou Mansion. Although it was a bit irritating to get into the sedan chair, there was no mistake until Rong Han was sent to the sedan chair.

Seeing the sedan chair where Rong Han left, Rong Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

She just took over, and it's a girl's house, and she doesn't understand many of the rules of getting married. The fact that she took care of such a big deal on the first day of taking over is really messy and confused.

Fortunately, with the assistance of Mrs. Xu, many jokes were avoided.

Rong Han's aunt kept looking at the wedding procession with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of reluctance.Second Master Rong supported her by the shoulder and said a few words of comfort before following the crowd back to the mansion.

When walking towards the mansion, Rong Zhao glanced at An Ziqian.

With Rong Zhao's warning at Tianxiang Guose Building last time, An Ziqian also brought Rong Nuan back this time, and when he caught Rong Zhao's gaze, he quickly avoided it with a guilty conscience.

Rong Zhao's eyes were pale, he snorted softly, and turned his eyes to Rong Nuan, seeing her brows were a little bit sad, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Now you are so proud, and now everyone in the Manhou Mansion is looking at you eagerly, and the catcher is waiting in line to curry favor with you." Rong Xin went to Rong Zhao's place, the two chatted for a while, and then changed the conversation. On the matter of Rong Zhao's rise to power.She joked about Rong Zhao, said.

Rong Zhao peeled an orange and stuffed one into her mouth, "But you also have to see so many pairs of eyes staring at me, waiting for me to make a mistake."

"That's because their eyes are greedy, and their hearts are sour." The orange was very sour, and Rong Xin gritted his teeth and spat it out after chewing a few mouthfuls.

Rong Zhao smiled, handed the grapes in front of her, sighed slightly, and said: "There are hundreds of masters and slaves in the mansion, and there are many people who are dissatisfied. It is not a piece of cake to trip me up. Don't It seems that they usually respect and fear me, but in fact, they are complaining in their hearts. It is not sure what will happen to them in the future."

"Second sister-in-law is prudent and educated, she can help you." Rong Xin knew that this matter looked good, but in fact it might take a lot of thought behind it.

Rong Zhao also knew that Mrs. Xu was calm, so her father said that she was very happy to have Mrs. Xu assist her. "Second sister-in-law is indeed a talented person, but after all, she is a soft-spoken person, and I have to take care of it when things happen."

Rong Xin smiled and teased, "What? You Rong Zhao can't afford it?"

Rong Zhao said with a smile: "If I can't bear it, I have to bear it. Can I still be bullied?"

Rong Xin smiled, and liked Rong Zhao's domineering character.The two talked for a while, before leaving before dinner.Rong Zhao wanted to keep her for dinner, but she pushed her away, so Rong Zhao had no choice but to give up.

The people in the mansion originally thought that Miss Six would only be greedy for pleasure, but they didn't want to really get her hands on it, but there were a few tricks.His means are sharp and sharp, his mind is clear, rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and he manages the affairs of the house in an orderly manner, which makes people dislike him.Even Mr. Gao found it inconceivable to inquire about it.

However, the Gao family has been intimidating the Hou Mansion for many years, and there are many "loyal servants". Naturally, some people will not accept that Rong Zhao has robbed the eldest lady's errand, and with his wife there before, they can all get some money.But since Miss Six came to power, they have no benefit at all, so they are working in secret.

Some also thought that Sixth Miss was just a girl who was new to manage things, so she was capable, and that Second Young Mistress was a soft-tempered person, so she tried to do things perfunctorily.Compared with when Gao Shi was there, he is much more idle and tired.
