This matter was somewhat beyond Xue Hengzhao's expectation. She stood up and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Liu, for your concern. It's just that I was temporarily borrowed from the Fourth Division. I have to go back after finishing my work here. I am not a member of the Eighth Bureau." .
Furthermore, I am not proficient in needlework, and I have never been in charge of things, so I cannot convince the public.
If something goes wrong, I really can't afford it. Please send it to someone else! "
Maybe it would be a blessing from heaven to be a maid in charge of someone else's job, but Xue Hengzhao didn't care about it and even wanted to push it away.
Who would have thought that Liu Quan became more confident after hearing this, and advised her: "The four divisions and eight bureaus are not separated in the first place, so there is nothing to mind.
Besides, I see that your work is very good, and more importantly, you are clever in your thinking. Smart people can do anything quickly, even if they have never done it before, they can still get it done.
Since I have chosen you, just accept it! Everyone is in a hurry now. If you shirk it and she shirks it, wouldn't I be left hanging here?
You don’t have to worry about making mistakes. Let me tell you, even if there is a mistake, I will never blame you. I will bear all the responsibility. "
Liu Quan's baby face has crooked eyes and looks harmless.
His greatest skill is that no matter who he talks to, he makes people feel very comfortable, as if he is highly respected by them.
Unlike ordinary people who are eloquent, he does not make people think he is smooth, but makes people trust him easily.
Xue Hengzhao heard what he said, thought for a moment, and responded: "Since my father-in-law has talked about this, if Hengzhao doesn't agree anymore, it will be a bit disrespectful.
But I'm really afraid that I won't be able to do it well and there will be something I can't do, so I would like you to give me more advice. "
"Don't worry, don't worry." The smile on Liu Quan's face grew a little more and he said repeatedly, "We all help each other. If we finish this job well, we will be rewarded later."
He then said to everyone: "Everyone, please listen. Although Heng Zhao is young, since she is now in charge, you must all listen to her.
If someone innocently seeks trouble, I will not listen. "
Xue Hengzhao suddenly became the maid in charge here. On the surface, everyone congratulated her, but in fact, many people were dissatisfied.
I feel that she has no qualifications, and her needlework is by no means the best. Among all the embroiderers, she is barely average.
Therefore, some people felt that she had no real ability and was promoted just because of her cleverness and Yu Guming.
But come to think of it, none of them dared to provoke Xue Hengzhao.
How could Xue Hengzhao not understand what these people were thinking, he just didn't bother to pay attention to them.
After Liu Quan left, someone else asked Xue Hengzhao to treat him half-heartedly.
Xue Hengzhao just laughed it off.
When they went back to rest in the evening, Xue Hengzhao and Chi Su returned to the residence arranged by Aunt Ma.
Chi Su said: "Liu Quan is really kind to others. Logically speaking, it is not in line with the rules to allocate us a place to live, and it was arranged by the previous manager.
I didn't expect that he would ask us to live like this. You are the steward of the embroidery workshop, which makes sense.
As for me, it is true that I have benefited from you. "
Liu Quan was well-known for his popularity in the palace, and everyone from top to bottom was very optimistic about him, and they all guessed that when his master Zhou Hong retired, he would definitely take over.
Especially these people in the eighth round were willing to have this result.
If someone who was mean came up, they would all be punished.
"How many times have you praised Liu Quan to me today?" Xue Hengzhao asked with a smile.
"Why, do you think he is not good enough?" Chi Su asked.
"Just think it's good for you, why bother asking me?" Xue Hengzhao still refused to comment at this point.
"You are such an unpredictable person. I just promoted you." Chi Su shook his head.
Then he moved closer and asked in a low voice: "Why did the prince drag you out in the morning? I just have time to ask you now."
Even if they had lunch and rest before, there were other people around them, so Chi Su never asked. In fact, she was dying of curiosity.
"It's nothing, he just asked me if I was injured or involved." Xue Hengzhao said calmly, "After all, such a big thing happened on New Year's Eve."
Chi Su pursed her lips and smiled, looked at Xue Heng again and again, and said, "You have to be more careful."
"What should I be careful about?" Xue Hengzhao asked.
"Remember that I told you before that this prince has been suffering from dementia since he was a child. You also said that if he fell in love with a girl, if she didn't want him, he might force her to marry her.
Now it seems that that man is probably attracted to you. Otherwise, why would I come running to see you out of breath? Holding your hand in public? Isn't he crazy if he dares? "Chi Su's slender eyes were shining like two clear streams.
"Whether he is crazy or not is his own business." Xue Hengzhao is such a smart person, how could he not see that Yu Guming is interested in him, "In this world, if you are born as a woman, you will already lose 30% of your life. If If you can no longer guard your heart, you will fall into the quagmire and be unable to struggle."
"You...what do you mean?" Chi Su couldn't understand it for a while.
“All living beings suffer. If a person wants to live freely, he must either be hopelessly stupid or ruthless to the end.
It's a pity that I'm not stupid enough, so I can only be ruthless, so as not to live in pain. "Xue Hengzhao said, opened the door and walked into the room.
"What are you thinking?" Chi Su heard this and shouted that it was unreasonable. "People say it is easy to get priceless treasures, but it is rare to find a lover. You actually treat such an infatuated person like a piece of shit, what should you say?"
"People like me are out-and-out freaks in the eyes of the world," Xue Hengzhao said lightly, "but in the eyes of the world, people are nothing but bitter insects."
Chi Su laughed angrily at her words, pointed at Xue Hengzhao's nose and said, "What you said is really outrageous. Fortunately, you just told me."
Xue Hengzhao poured himself tea and drank it without saying anything else.
Chi Su also poured a cup of tea, held the cup and said, "Don't worry about weirdos or not, just think that I am Luo Chongwei. I also want to say some good words to you."
Seeing that Xue Hengzhao didn't say anything, Chi Su continued on by himself: "No matter how ruthless you are, you still have to think about yourself.
When we enter the palace, it is like a hairpin falling into a well. If no one salvages it, they will never get out.
The prince's status is extremely noble, and he is not that kind of person.
He values you, which is a blessing after all. You are smart, so you will definitely be able to borrow some help.
Wouldn't it be better to leave this cannibalistic place as soon as possible?
Or better yet, even your family can be saved.
I'm doing this for your own good, but don't turn a blind eye. "
After Chi Su rambled on, he saw that Xue Hengzhao had already laid down and fell asleep.
Chi Su gritted her teeth helplessly, and then sighed: "It's true that the young lady is not in a hurry, but the maid is in a hurry, so why am I doing this!"
After saying that, he also packed up and went to sleep.
