Zhao Junchen summoned Chu Jiayi in the main hall of Zhao Mansion. [No pop-up novel website]
When heading to the main hall, Chu Jiayi's mood was complicated, excited, nervous, and a little curious.
Although she has been sneaking into the Zhao Mansion for a long time, she has never even seen Zhao Junchen. Therefore, although Chu Jiayi hates Zhao Junchen, now that they can finally meet him, she still can't help but be curious. , I am curious about what Zhao Junchen, a corrupt official and traitor who is famous all over the world, is really like.
Therefore, when entering the main hall, although Chu Jiayi still maintained a cautious and cautious look, she could not help but quietly raised her head and looked at Zhao Junchen who was sitting on the main seat.
Then, Chu Jiayi couldn't help being stunned.
Without him, Zhao Junchen's temperament and appearance were far different from Chu Jiayi's imagination!
In Chu Jiayi's imagination, Zhao Junchen was a notorious corrupt official! A traitor known to everyone! A real villain who has no ability and only relies on flattering Emperor Deqing to gain a high position! A devilish king who forms cliques for personal gain, does whatever he wants, confuses right and wrong, and is insatiable!
Such a person, even if he is not a thieves-headed person with a treacherous look on his face, he should be a fat-headed pig-headed person with a stupid look. At worst, he should have a face full of flesh and blood, a scary look, and a sinister temperament!
However, in reality, Zhao Junchen has a handsome appearance, with clear eyebrows, clear facial features, fair skin, and a slender figure, making him look like what the world calls a "fair-faced boy."
However, compared with his handsome appearance, what surprised Chu Jiayi more was Zhao Junchen's temperament.
Because of his experience as an official, Zhao Junchen does not have the greenness of an ordinary "white-faced young man". Instead, he is calm, restrained, and even wise; and because he has been in a high position all year round, he is able to move his energy, nourish his body, and lift his body. He raised his hands and feet, seemingly indifferent, but there was a sense of majesty and oppression that people could not ignore.
Reserved, calm and wise.
This is not the temperament that a corrupt official and a traitor should have!
However, although Zhao Junchen's temperament and appearance were very different from Chu Jiayi's imagination, Chu Jiayi had already determined that Zhao Junchen was not a good person, so after seeing Zhao Junchen's appearance, what Chu Jiayi thought in her heart was: " God is unfair, he has actually given this corrupt official a good skin, and this corrupt official will use this skin to show off, no wonder Emperor Deqing favors him so much."
Although she was thinking this in her heart, Chu Jiayi's face remained calm. She just came not far in front of Zhao Junchen, saluted Zhao Junchen and said, "My maid, Chu Jiayi, has met the master."
When Chu Jiayi was secretly sizing up Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen was also sizing up Chu Jiayi.
Although he was used to seeing beautiful women in his previous life, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw Chu Jiayi for the first time.
Her facial features are exquisite and beautiful, her skin is fair and moist, her figure is even and slender, her charming oval face has a pair of big almond eyes, her nose is sculpted and her eyebrows are thin, and her lips are all just right.
Not only is she good-looking, but she is also eye-catching. Among all the people in Zhao Junchen's house, in terms of looks, only Fang Ru can rival her.
However, Fang Ru's beauty is a charming temptation, enchanting and capable of a strong woman. Coupled with her petite but exquisite figure, it always makes people unconsciously have the desire to conquer and linger. Full of sense of accomplishment.
But Chu Jiayi's beauty is an intellectual and gentle beauty that makes people intoxicated but dare not be easily rude. She clearly has the temperament of a boudoir lady, but at this time she is wearing maid clothes and looks cautious. The appearance makes people feel even more pity.
Perhaps, only the slightly upturned eyebrows can reveal Chu Jiayi's stubbornness and opinion.
However, Zhao Junchen is not like Xu Qingyan after all. He is used to seeing the world, and being surprised only lasts a moment. Soon, Zhao Junchen has regained his composure.
…………
Thinking of the fact that the woman in front of him had her family ruined by him, she was already pitiful. Even though she had other agendas when she came to the Zhao Mansion, she would be used by him again. Zhao Junchen couldn't help but feel regretful. After sighing secretly, there was a trace of sadness on his face. With a hint of smile, he asked: "Oh? Are you Chu Jiayi? I really feel sorry for you. No wonder Qingyan couldn't do anything to you yesterday."
Hearing Zhao Junchen's teasing, Chu Jiayi had not expressed her position yet, but Xu Qingyan's face turned red for a rare moment.
At this time, Chu Jiayi also regained her composure. In order to attract Zhao Junchen's attention, she did not blindly show weakness. After bowing to Zhao Junchen again, she raised her head and asked: "Master saw me today, but because of yesterday's recipe What happened? My maid did not mean to embarrass the master. In fact, this recipe comes from family tradition. Although it is insignificant, it should not be passed on to others. This is the ancestral teaching. Although the maid is unfilial, I dare not violate it. I hope the master will forgive me. "
"Oh?" Zhao Junchen looked at Chu Jiayi with interest, but he didn't look angry. He just asked, "You also know that you are embarrassing me by doing this?"
Chu Jiayi lowered her head slightly, showing a slight delicate look, and said softly: "My maid prepares midnight snack cakes for the master every night. Although the 'health soup' is still delicious, if the master wants to eat it, he can eat it at any time. Come on, why would you go out of your way to ask for a recipe from your maid? In addition, there were guests in the house last night, and the master also specifically ordered my maid to prepare a 'healthy soup' for the guests. It must be that the guest likes the 'healthy soup' The taste made the master plan to give away the recipe. In this case, the servant did not hand over the recipe and made the master break his promise, which will definitely embarrass you."
Zhao Junchen nodded lightly and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so smart. It's rare."
At this point, Zhao Junchen changed his subject, but he looked gentle, and said: "However, I am not looking for you today to ask for punishment. The recipe is just a small matter. Although I broke my promise, I don't think anyone will come. You dare to look down on me because of this. You have your reasons. You insist on your ancestral precepts of filial piety. How can I blame you for this? But I, so ignorant, suddenly asked you for a recipe, but it made you embarrassed. ”
Chu Jiayi never thought that Zhao Junchen would say this like a gentle and gentle gentleman, and couldn't help but be stunned again.
This does not seem like a proper statement from a corrupt official.
A corrupt official only knows how to benefit himself at the expense of others. At this time, he should get angry and forcefully make things difficult for him.
Involuntarily, although Chu Jiayi still firmly believed that Zhao Junchen was not a good person, deep down in her heart, she became more curious about Zhao Junchen, and she always felt that she could not see through it.
On the other side, Zhao Junchen ignored the surprise in Chu Jiayi's heart and continued with a smile: "Actually, I came to you today because I was just curious. I wanted to see if Qi could resist Qingyan's coercion and inducement and stick to his bottom line. What is this woman like? You know, Qingyan has been with me for many years, and there are not many people in this world who can make him return without success, but I never thought that there would be one in my house."
Having said this, Zhao Junchen looked Chu Jiayi up and down, and then nodded as if he was very satisfied: "And you really did not disappoint me. Even if talking to me today is related to your future and destiny, What's more commendable is that you are so smart... I heard from Manager Wang who brought you into the house that you still have the ability to read and write?"
Seeing that she had finally attracted Zhao Junchen's attention, Chu Jiayi was secretly happy, but she still looked cautious. She nodded and said softly: "Master, I did read some books when I was young."
Zhao Junchen nodded and said thoughtfully: "There are not many people in our house who can read and write. It is a bit unfair to arrange you to work in the kitchen."
While pondering, Zhao Junchen seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly raised his hand and decided: "Let's do this. From today on, you will stop working in the kitchen. I am short of a personal maid and there has never been a suitable candidate. You will be responsible for it. From now on, you will still be responsible for my pastries and supper every night, but other than that, you will also be responsible for some of the chores around me, especially when I am here. You should pay more attention to some writing work and organization matters in the study room."
Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen seemed to have some dissatisfaction, and shook his head while sighing and said to himself: "The study has always been left to the ordinary servants in the mansion. Unfortunately, they don't know how to write, and they don't distinguish between priorities. I don’t understand, but the more I sort it out, the more messy it becomes, which is really a disservice, but I wouldn’t trust it if I left it to others..."
On the other side, Chu Jiayi couldn't help but trembled when she heard Zhao Junchen mention the words "personal maid".
Being able to become Zhao Junchen's personal maid, and from now on, her status in the mansion can be almost equal to that of Xu Qingyan, and she can also have more access to Zhao Junchen's secrets. For Chu Jiayi, it is naturally a good thing.
But in this era, a personal maid is not only responsible for some chores around the master. When necessary, she must also "attend the bed" like a concubine...
However, Chu Jiayi knew very well what she looked like. Although she had hesitated before sneaking into the Zhao Mansion, she had already made up her mind to overthrow Zhao Junchen even if she sacrificed her own chastity!
Therefore, after hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, although Chu Jiayi was a little panicked, she still forced herself to calm down. She just lowered her head and bowed to Zhao Junchen and said, "Thank you for the honor, my maid."
Hearing the uncontrollable slight tremor in Chu Jiayi's voice, Zhao Junchen sighed in his heart, but his face remained calm as usual. He picked up the tea cup at hand and said softly: "In that case, go down and prepare. Well, from now on, you can be considered a figure in Zhao Mansion, just don’t let me down."
After receiving Zhao Junchen's instructions, Chu Jiayi turned pale. After saluting Zhao Junchen again, she turned around and left quickly.
Zhao Junchen looked at Chu Jiayi's leaving thin and delicate back, but he was thoughtful.
…………
But after Chu Jiayi left the main hall, she felt a little confused and walked quickly towards her room.
However, before she took a few steps, she saw a maid from the Zhao family suddenly coming to her.
"Chu Jiayi, Mrs. Ruyi wants to see you."
So the maid said.
