poisonous woman

Chapter 126
Rong Zhao and Xu's shared family affairs, unlike those who used to talk to Gao's.For the convenience of the principal, he discusses matters in the flower hall in the front yard every day.

The family affairs in the mansion are complicated, and there are many things outside, like this prince's family holding a wedding, that Hou Bo's mansion having a funeral, or an official's promotion, a family banquet, etc., all must be covered, and the slightest bit of etiquette must not be sloppy. Busy from morning till night.

That night, Rong Zhao had just calculated the monthly salary with Mrs. Xu, and was about to close the accounts when someone came in.

After sitting upright for a whole day, Rong Zhao's buttocks were sore and his shoulders were so sore, obviously a little impatient.

"What's the matter?" Rong Zhao asked with deep eyebrows.

Aunt Wu, who came in to answer the conversation, knelt down and said with her head down: "Miss, don't be angry when you hear this." Then she said: "The old slave was ordered to lead the people from the previous night to patrol around. The doors were locked everywhere, but unfortunately, I heard an indecent sound when passing by the back garden. I thought it was a cat, thinking that the lady was afraid of cats, so I asked people to patrol the sound to catch them, but I didn't want to see two people behind the rockery. A maid is doing that unbearable thing."

Paused, "The people are already on the outside, waiting for the young lady's punishment."

Rong Zhao understands now that the maids in the mansion have reached their age, they are lonely, they hang out with each other, and they are caught straight.

"Seeing that you were so anxious and flustered just now, I thought it was some great event, and it was for this matter." Rong Zhao slumped his shoulders and said casually.

Aunt Wu raised her eyes to look at Rong Zhao, her eyes were serious, "How can miss think that this is not a big deal? They are so unruly, and they should be punished severely. Besides, so many people saw it today, if miss doesn't Punish them severely, and others will think that the young lady has a good temper and will learn it tomorrow, and the Hou Mansion will be in chaos by then."

Her tone was solemn, relying on her old age, she pretended to be old, as if she was admonishing Rong Zhao, which made Rong Zhao very unhappy.

Rong Zhao yawned, propped himself up with his hands, and slowly closed his eyes, without speaking, as if he had fallen asleep.

Aunt Wu frowned and raised her voice, "Miss Six, did you hear what this old servant said?"

Gu Wu frowned, and said angrily: "Presumptuous! What kind of attitude do you have? You dare to speak like this to Miss Six. You used to be so arrogant in front of the eldest lady! Our lady has a good temper, and I didn't care about you like you two days ago. You can open a dyeing workshop after pouring some color, you don’t know how high the sky is!"

The old woman had never been bullied by a young maid, but she was scolded by Gu Qu once, and she felt angrily in her heart, "I'm talking to Miss Six, you don't have the right to talk too much."

This servant was very arrogant, Rong Zhao suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze was like a torch, and he sneered, "Aunt Wu is so majestic, the person who dares to scold me in front of me is indeed the person appointed by the Da Furen to be in charge, this bearing is just different. "

Aunt Wu's face turned pale, and she said respectfully, "I dare not."

Rong Zhao snorted coldly, and said, "Don't rely on your old age to grow old just because you have some seniority in the mansion. In the past, Da Furen had a good temper and treated you with a little courtesy. But I am different, my temper is not as good as Madam."

She sharpened her eyes and said: "Gu Wu, go, give me a slap on her mouth."

Gu Wu rolled up his sleeves and slapped it more than a dozen times in a row, like setting off firecrackers. Immediately, Aunt Wu's mouth swelled up.

Seeing that it was almost done, Rong Zhao stopped.

Aunt Wu felt timid in her heart this time, she lowered her head nonuo and said, "It was the servant who bumped into Miss Six, please be patient."

Mrs. Xu looked at Aunt Wu, and said to Rong Zhao: "You said that the eldest lady has a good temper, so she treats these old people with courtesy, I don't think so. I am afraid that you and I are not in this eyes at all. After all, we are young, I can't hold my ground, and they treated me lightly." Then she said coldly to Aunt Wu: "It's the first time I've heard you dare to speak so rudely to Miss. I don't know that Aunt Wu was like this when Da Furen was around. answer?"

Aunt Wu was rendered speechless by the training, and she peeped at Rong Zhao, "This slave must never dare to disrespect Miss Six and Second Young Mistress, she was just annoyed for a while, thinking that those little hoofs broke the rules, for fear of losing the honor of the Hou Mansion." Face, there is no gatekeeper in this mouth."

Rong Zhao said meaningfully: "Aunt Wu checks every day whether the doors of the houses are locked and locked, but she forgot to lock her mouth as well. She dares to come out of this mouth, good or bad. Pay attention, or you won't need this mouth."

Aunt Wu's old face blushed and turned white, her teeth gritted in pain, but she wanted to laugh along with her, "Yes, this servant has made a note."

Rong Zhao said again: "It's not only today that the maidservant messed around, how did the eldest lady deal with it before?"

This kind of thing is not uncommon in other people's families, it is very common.Rong Zhao didn't take it seriously, he only asked about previous cases, and if there were traces to follow, he followed the previous practice.

Aunt Wu replied: "This is the first one."

Rong Zhao didn't believe that this was the first time, but something had happened before, and Gao had to solve it in private without making a fuss.

When she became the master of the house, she brought up this matter as a big deal, just to see how she would deal with it.

The treatment was harsh, and the servants would inevitably feel that she was inconsiderate and ruthless, fearful but also resentful.If you deal with it lightly, you will feel that Miss Six is ​​a soft persimmon and easy to fool, and she will be careless in doing things, or even more rampant with the servants, that is also lax family management.

That's the idea Aunt Wu came up with, to use this matter to try Rong Zhao and present her with a problem.

But no matter how you deal with it, whether it is minor or serious, there must be a solution. If you procrastinate or make decisions from others, you are hesitant to do things and you have no talent for managing your family.

There was a fierce look on Rong Zhao's face that could not avoid the edge, Xu thought about it, and suggested to her: "It's better to hit dozens of boards and throw them into Zhuangzi."

This kind of punishment is really light for them, Rong Zhao would rather be feared than be underestimated.As the saying goes, although it is a difficult problem for a new official to take office three fires, it is also for her to show her prestige.

"Second sister-in-law is a kind-hearted person, but I am not." Rong Zhao had already made up his mind, so he said, "Since the crime is in my hands, don't blame me for being merciless and inhuman. The two servant girls are kicked out of the house."

They all signed a death contract. Once they are kicked out, let alone married, they will not even have a place to live.

Once a maidservant is kicked out by the master's house, she will be regarded as a bad character, and she will be charged with filthy charges such as "seducing the master", "frivolous indulgence" or "unclean hands and feet", which cannot be washed away.In this way, which family dares to marry, which family dares to use it, and how will it behave in the future?

It's no different than a dead end.
