In Zhong Shanggong's eyes, Yu Nianchu is not a simple character.
It's one thing to be told to take good care of her, but Yu Nianchu will do things under his own hands from now on.
At least let her transfer her gratitude to herself.
Lest one day she really flies up the branch and she won't get any benefit.
So Zhong Shanggong deliberately put away the embroidery and did not show it in front of everyone. Instead, he scolded her sternly.
"Aren't you convinced? It's your turn to take the master's exam, aren't you convinced?"
"He Sishan, Ye Sizhi, An Sishe, Liu Sizhen, take all the maids in your respective rooms back. Anyone who gossips will be rewarded with twenty pieces of gold!"
As soon as these words came out, the maids did not dare to speak. In fact, they could not understand how gentle Shang Gong was.
Now, he is blaming everyone so harshly for a young lady from the Hou Mansion...
For a time, the Shang Palace Bureau was even more dissatisfied with Yu Nianchu.
After everyone dispersed, Zhong Shanggong announced the result to Ye Susu and Yu Nianchu in front of them.
"Miss Yu won this competition. From now on, Miss Yu will be the controller of the production room."
As she said that, she looked at Ye Susu again, "As for Susu, just continue to be a female history as before."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Susu stood up stubbornly and shouted to Zhong Shanggong, "Master Shanggong, my subordinates are not convinced!"
"You should at least let Susu know why you lost!"
After working hard for so many years, I finally managed to get to the position of being in charge of Li Gong. Now that I am not yet in control, I am about to be disrupted by a yellow-haired girl who has just appeared.
There is no such truth!
Zhong Shanggong coughed, and in order to prevent her from making any more noise, he gave her Yu Nianchu's work.
"See for yourself."
This embroidery is completely different from Ye Susu's. It is not blindly realistic, but is shaped into a myth-like pattern.
Ye Susu didn't read much, but she could tell at a glance that what she was describing was a talent show.
The colors are bold, the stitching is fine, and there is no full satin, but the things shown on it are much better than my own full embroidery.
Ye Susu shed tears as she watched.
It turns out that Zhong Shanggong is not partial, but that he is really inferior to others.
At this point, Ye Susu finally lowered her head.
"I respectfully obey Lord Shang Gong's orders."
She returned Yu Nianchu's embroidery, reluctantly took off the small golden crown on her head, and put it into Yu Nianchu's hand.
Seeing this, Zhong Shanggong waved his hand and said to the two of them, "Zhang Yu, you will take office starting today. Just ask Ye Si Zhi if you need to do anything specifically."
"Ye Susu, please go down too."
"Zhang Zhi Yu is new here, please take over your previous work with her."
Ye Susu said in a low voice, "I obey."
The two of them left the main hall and walked towards the department room.
Ye Susu walked in front with a displeased face, but finally couldn't hold back what she was saying.
She turned around and gave a symbolic salute to Yu Nianchu.
"Master Yu, my subordinates have something to ask."
Yu Nianchu nodded slightly and said, "Say."
Ye Susu pursed her lips and complained, "Excuse me, who is Master Yu's apprentice?"
She had been in the production house for so many years, and she thought she was used to seeing all kinds of embroidery treasures, but the work by Yu Nianchu just now really subverted her perception.
Not even his aunt Ye Sizhi is such an embroiderer.
The most hateful thing is that Yu Nianchu is less than twenty years old...
Yu Nianchu didn't hide it and replied with two words, "My mother."
As for her mother's specific identity, she doesn't plan to reveal it yet.
Yu Nianchu had met all kinds of people over the years and thought that this Ye Susu would be difficult to deal with. Unexpectedly, she knelt down in front of her in the next second.
Yu Nianchu was a little confused, "What are you doing?"
Ye Susu kowtowed hard, "Yu Zhangzhi, can you teach me embroidery?"
Ye Susu was indeed dissatisfied with Yu Nianchu, but she was convinced by her skills.
She never wants to be just a loser who relies on connections, she also wants to convince everyone with her works.
Facing those sincere and longing eyes, Yu Nianchu stepped forward to help her up.
"Now that I have joined the production department and become the master, I will teach you embroidery skills, don't worry."
Even though Yu Nianchu looked like a young girl in white and tender clothes, she was so mature when it came to speaking.
Ye Susu no longer thinks that Yu Nianchu is a loser.
But it's no use just because she doesn't think so. There's a lot of open and secret fighting in the Controller's Room. She has been the Controller for so many years and she still hasn't completely convinced everyone.
After a while, the two of them arrived at Si Zhi's room, and Si Zhi happened to be there too.
There were many people gathered in the courtyard, watching the three palace ladies being beaten.
Ye Susu cleared her throat and shouted to everyone, "Master Yu is here."
Everyone's eyes turned towards him, some appreciative and some disdainful. However, Ye Sizhi smiled brightly and stepped forward to hold Yu Nianchu's hand.
"Okay, okay, Commander Yu, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
After saying that, she waved to everyone, "If you haven't lined up yet, let me show you my gifts to Commander Yu!"
More than twenty maids lined up, put their hands on their waists, and saluted Yu Nianchu.
"Meet Master Yu."
Yu Nianchu had no stage fright, nor did he deliberately smile. Instead, he spoke in a slightly serious tone.
"Excuse me, please."
"Today, my new official takes office, and I ask you all to be diligent and conscientious as usual. Anyone who causes trouble or is lazy will not be spared by not only Ye Si Zhi, but I will also punish them severely."
"do you understand?"
The maids said in unison: "I sincerely follow the instructions of Master Yu."
Ye Sizhi's smile froze on his face. He didn't expect that the daughter of the Marquis Mansion really looked like that.
In the past, new officials took office in an amiable manner, fearing that their subordinates would not cooperate. She, on the other hand, had no intention of being approachable at all.
But yes, she is the daughter of the Hou family, and she has the support of the emperor. Who dares to go against her?
Just as Ye Sizhi was thinking about it, Yu Nianchu had already turned to look at her.
"Lao Yezhi has handed over the affairs to be taken over."
Ye Sizhi nodded quickly and led Yu Nianchu and Ye Susu to the main hall of Sizhi's room.
The process of handing over things was not short, and there were many chores in the department room. Even at night, Yu Nianchu was still reading those brochures.
Many of the maids in the Si Zhi room finished their work and went back to rest. Ye Si Zhi and Ye Susu also left not long ago.
Yu Nianchu lit the candle and read the entire book before closing the book.
She turned her head, holding the unread booklet and planning to go back to the house.
But as soon as he walked out of the door of the department building, he heard a familiar voice.
"Chu'er."
Yu Nianchu's pupils suddenly widened, and the booklet in his hand fell to the ground with a crash.
Is this voice—the dead mother-in-law? !
