[Read the full text] Just when Fang Ru summoned Chu Jiayi to talk, Wei Huai, who had left the Zhao Mansion not long ago, asked to see Zhao Junchen again (Tomato*Xiao* said
When he learned that Wei Huai had left and returned, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but be startled. He thought something had happened again, so he didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly asked people to bring Wei Huai to his room for a secret discussion.
When Wei Huai came to the back of the room, Zhao Junchen asked, "Mr. Wei, what happened after leaving and coming back like this?"
Wei Huai nodded and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Factory Supervisor, I just got the news that another refugee has come to Beijing to complain. And this time there are two waves. They are all people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Now they have arrived in Beizhili." Near Shunde Prefecture, we will arrive in Beijing around this time tomorrow."
Regarding these situations, Zhao Junchen had already expected them and didn't care much. He just sighed and said leisurely: "They came very unexpectedly. I guess it was corrupt officials who committed crimes, which made them feel resentful. It's really pitiful. Now refugees from all over the country are coming to Beijing to complain one after another. , the flaws in the preparations for the southern tour are getting bigger and bigger, and I'm afraid they will be even more confused."
Wei Huai saw that Zhao Junchen didn't care, but his eyes flashed, and he said: "Mr. Factory Supervisor, our West Factory has already made preparations for this matter, and I shouldn't bother you on purpose for this. However, I should not bother you for this matter." I have a plan in mind, but it requires the cooperation of adults. If implemented properly, it will not only make the reputation of the Queen even more tarnished, but also allow us to find out whether the person behind Chu Jiayi is His Highness the Queen!"
Seeing Wei Huai's serious expression, Zhao Junchen was slightly startled. After pondering for a moment, he already understood Wei Huai's thoughts.
Wei Huai has always thought highly of himself and regarded himself as Zhao Junchen's right-hand man. However, when he speculated that Chu Jiayi was behind Tai Zhu and Yu, Zhao Junchen's attitude was undeniable, as if he did not believe it.
Regarding Zhao Junchen's attitude, Wei Huai seemed not to care on the surface, but he was probably holding his breath in his heart. He had the idea of proving himself. Now that he had the opportunity to prove that his inference was correct, he would not miss it.
After understanding Wei Huai's thoughts, Zhao Junchen would not refuse. He showed an interested expression and asked with a smile: "Oh? I don't know what Mr. Wei's plan is, it must be excellent, but I don't know how to arrange it?"
…………
Flowers bloom at two ends, one branch on each side
But after Chu Jiayi became Zhao Junchen's personal maid, although she was hostile to the jealous and aggressive Fang Ru and was immediately beaten, her status in the Zhao family was greatly improved. In terms of status in the mansion, he is now second only to Fang Ru and Xu Qingyan.
So, when Chu Jiayi returned to her room (tomato*xiao* said), some of the Zhao family managers who had already received the news had been waiting there for a long time. They introduced each other to each other and were quite flattering to Chu Jiayi.
Then, under the arrangements of these people, Chu Jiayi's residence in Zhao's Mansion was changed into a large and bright room. All daily necessities were high-end and expensive; and the clothes distributed to Chu Jiayi also became Pay more attention to detail; the monthly payment is more than five times more
However, Chu Jiayi didn't care about these things. After finally sending them away and reporting to the cook Zhou Lihua that they were safe, Chu Jiayi didn't waste any time and just inquired all the way towards Zhao Junchen's room. go
Chu Jiayi sneaked into Zhao's house to search for evidence against Zhao Junchen, and Zhao Junchen's house was naturally the top priority in Chu Jiayi's eyes.
It just so happened that after Zhao Junchen took her as his personal maid, Chu Jiayi was responsible for such tasks as grinding ink, laying paper, and tidying up the house. So after there was nothing else to do, Chu Jiayi went to Zhao Junchen as soon as possible. room, hoping to find some useful intelligence evidence
However, when Chu Jiayi arrived not far outside the room, she saw two servants of the Zhao family waiting there.
These two servants of the Zhao family obviously also knew about Chu Jiayi becoming Zhao Junchen's personal maid. When they saw Chu Jiayi appearing, they did not dare to neglect and hurriedly came to greet her.
"I've seen Miss Chu." Behind Chu Jiayi, a tall servant of the Zhao family, with a flattering smile on his face, said respectfully: "I heard that Miss Chu has now become the master's personal maid. Please take more care of us people from now on."
Another servant of the Zhao family was more introverted. He just secretly looked at Chu Jiayi's beauty, his face turned red.
Chu Jiayi looked gentle and said softly: "This is natural. We are both working for the Zhao family. We should take care of each other from now on."
After saying that, Chu Jiayi asked again: "You two are waiting here, why?"
Hearing Chu Jiayi's question, the relatively introverted servant of the Zhao family finally found an opportunity and replied with some stuttering: "Back to Miss Chu, the master is doing official business in the room, and Master Xu is waiting beside him. But the two of us are waiting here, but we are afraid that the master may have any orders. We can't let Mr. Xu do some small things like serving tea and running errands?"
As the person finished speaking, the taller servant added in a flattering manner: "From now on, Miss Chu will serve the master like Master Xu. If anything happens, Miss Chu, you will do the same as Mr. Xu." , just tell us servants to do it.”
Chu Jiayi was stunned for a moment, looked at the sky, and saw that it was only afternoon time, and then asked: "At this time, shouldn't the master be in the official office?"
The taller servant replied with a smile: "I can't say for sure. It depends on the number of court affairs and the master's mood. When there are not many court affairs, the master will often return with his wife." After all, it is more comfortable to work in the mansion, and it will not attract attention when summoning guests. However, as our master, no one dares to say anything if we do this."
After hearing this explanation, Chu Jiayi frowned slightly, but she still thanked the two Zhao family servants and moved towards the door.
"Come in"
After knocking twice on the door, Chu Jiayi heard Zhao Junchen's voice.
Pushing the door and entering the room, Chu Jiayi looked up and saw that just as the two servants of the Zhao family said, Zhao Junchen was handling the affairs of the Ministry of Officials and Xichang at the table, while Xu Qingyan was waiting on the side.
However, although Zhao Junchen let Chu Jiayi in, he did not raise his head. Instead, he continued to look down at the fold, frowning slightly, wondering what he was thinking about. After pondering for a moment, he seemed to have finally made up his mind and started writing again. Approval written on it
Since meeting Zhao Junchen, Chu Jiayi felt that Zhao Junchen's temperament and image completely subverted her impression of corrupt officials and traitorous officials, and it is still the same now.
Seeing how seriously and meticulously Zhao Junchen handles his official duties, how can he be like the corrupt officials who are incompetent but do whatever they want?
Turning around and looking around the room, there were many simple decorations, but no luxury at all.
"This corrupt official is always pretending to be a coward anytime and anywhere."
Chu Jiayi secretly thought
While Chu Jiayi was thinking secretly, Zhao Junchen finally finished approving a copy and looked up at Chu Jiayi
After seeing that the visitor was Chu Jiayi, Zhao Junchen showed a little surprise on his face.
"Oh? I thought you were going to prepare until evening, why did you come here like this?" Zhao Junchen looked at Chu Jiayi up and down for a few times and then asked slowly: "Are you ready over there?"
Chu Jiayi bowed to Zhao Junchen and said softly: "The stewards who returned to the master's house did a good job. They changed the house of the maid and gave out clothes and waist tags. They also explained all the rules around the master. Most of them have been completed." It was all ready, so I didn't dare to delay. I heard that the master was still working in the room, so I rushed over."
Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "You are diligent, and I value you well. This place is not like the kitchen, but there are not many rules. You usually listen to my instructions and do things carefully, and you are gentle when I am working. Some, just don’t make too much noise.”
After saying that, Zhao Junchen ordered again: "Now that you are here, don't be idle. Do something first and polish the ink for me."
After hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, Chu Jiayi responded respectfully, came to Zhao Junchen's side, and quickly polished ink and prepared pens for Zhao Junchen.
I saw that Chu Jiayi was skilled in grinding the ink, with even force and moderate speed, adding water with a moderate concentration. In a short time, she had grinded the ink for Zhao Junchen, then took the rabbit hair on the pen holder and lightly stained it with some ink. Then he handed the rabbit hair to Zhao Junchen
The movements were not slow and silent, while she was grinding the ink, she was observing Zhao Junchen's movements. When Zhao Junchen finished reading the fold, Chu Jiayi happened to hand the rabbit hair to Zhao Junchen's hand.
Seeing Chu Jiayi's actions, Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction, took the rabbit hair and started writing on the fold. He saw that the ink under the pen was fine and even, with just the right shade. He couldn't help but praise: "This ink grinding is not only a delicate job, but also a fine job." This skill is easy to understand but difficult to master, and it requires a lot of effort. Jiayi, you may be overly modest when you say that you just read and write. Judging from your ability to sharpen your ink, I think you are pretty good at learning."
After saying that, without waiting for Chu Jiayi to be humble, Zhao Junchen glared at Xu Qingyan next to him and said: "Speaking of which, Qingyan's father, Mr. Xu, is my mentor. He is very knowledgeable, and the Xu family also He is from a good family, but Qingyan can't even polish the ink well. It's either too thick or too light. The ink spreads everywhere as soon as it hits the paper, which makes people laugh."
Hearing Zhao Junchen's joke, Xu Qingyan secretly glanced at Chu Jiayi, his face slightly red.
Chu Jiayi just said softly: "Master, I praise you very much." Then she didn't say anything more and just continued to polish ink and prepare pens for Zhao Junchen carefully.
Zhao Junchen smiled and didn't care, he just continued to review the folds.
For a moment, there was silence in the room
However, not long after, there was another knock on the door.
As Zhao Junchen said "come in", Chu Jiayi looked up and saw a tall man with a beard walking into the room.
This big man was in his thirties and was wearing Xichang clothes. Chu Jiayi had met him a few times. He was Qin Wei, another of Zhao Junchen’s eldest followers.
Qin Wei is usually responsible for Zhao Junchen's escort and contact with Xichang. Unlike Xu Qingyan, who is always by Zhao Junchen's side

ps: In fact, Chong’s health has not been very good during this period of time, and he has been busy with work and writing. He has reached his limit. I thought he would be able to survive if he persisted a little longer, but he failed to survive. Instead, he became very sick. I came back from the hospital and recovered today. I will make up for the break from the previous two days. The promised outbreak will still happen, so everyone can forgive me!
