Zhao Junchen's mansion in the capital, known as "Zhao Mansion", which is how luxurious and luxurious the decoration is for the time being, just covers an area, there are more than 200 acres, and it is still expanding.

Such a large mansion naturally requires a lot of people to take care of it.

In fact, now in the Zhao Mansion, there are only more than 100 ordinary maids and male servants, and there are also more than 10 to dozens of people in the positions of florists, cooks, doormen, bookkeepers, guards, stewards, etc.

If you add all these people together, the total population in the Zhao Mansion will probably be three or four hundred!

But because Zhao Junchen is busy, among the three or four hundred people, there are only a few who can remember their names and appearances.

Among them, Su Xiqing, as an ordinary bookkeeper in Zhao's mansion, because he had followed Zhao Junchen to Lu'an Mansion for disaster relief, actually left an impression on Zhao Junchen, which was a very rare honor for other people in Zhao's mansion.

However, Su Xiqing herself was not satisfied with this.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Su Xiqing is the same, he was born in Shaoxing, he feels that his ambition is not big - he just wants to become a staff member of a high-ranking official in the DPRK, and then be valued and trusted by the master, so that he can show his talents and realize his ambitions, and that's it.

The position of the account clerk, although he can grasp the amount and flow of some confidential money, can be regarded as a cronie of the house, but compared with those of the staff of the government who give advice to the main family and can even participate in political affairs, his status and the valued Cheng dù are still very inferior after all.

It's a pity that Su Xiqing has no connections, nor has he encountered any rare opportunities, plus some slander, he has run into walls everywhere over the years, even the most ordinary Qipin Zhixian County can't look down on him, and finally became Zhao Junchen's housekeeper. But he could only serve as a bookkeeper, which made Su Xiqing feel that he was being underused.

Therefore, after being summoned by Zhao Junchen, before entering Zhao Junchen's study, Su Xiqing's mood was quite apprehensive and excited.

Su Xiqing, who heard some news from Chu Jiayi's mouth, felt that this was an opportunity for herself!

An opportunity to show your talent and attract Zhao Junchen's attention!

However, it may be because of the wall in the past few years. Su Xiqing's self-confidence and arrogance when she was young have long been wiped out.

Now, when Su Xiqing followed Chu Jiayi into the study, he secretly raised his eyes and saw Zhao Junchen looking at him with blazing eyes, although his expression was flat, he had a noble and majestic temperament that made people daunting--I thought of Zhao Junchen now as the head of the household department, the minister in charge of the internal transportation warehouse, and the governor of the Xichang factory. is a high and powerful person, one of the few powerful ministers in the court, and he himself is just a declining master who no one wants to use, Su Xiqing, who was full of ideas in his heart, suddenly became nervous!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the same time, in the study, Zhao Junchen looked at Su Xiqing in front of him. A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Su Xiqing's appearance and temperament really don't have anything eye-catching.

Thin body, sharp-beaked monkey gills, and mouse-whiskered eyes...... Putting these aside for the time being, just looking at Su Xiqing's eyes and nervous expression at this time, but he pretended to be calm and comfortable, he knew that although this person was eager to express himself, he did not have any confidence in his heart.

How can a person who has no confidence in himself convince others of his abilities?

"Speaking of which, you've been in the mansion for two or three years, right?" Look in between. Seeing that Su Xiqing was just standing silently in front of him, Zhao Junchen suddenly spoke: "It's an old man in the house, what kind of character this official is, you have some understanding if you want to come, so don't be nervous, this official wants to ask you something, you just tell the truth." ”

The other side. After hearing Zhao Junchen speak, Su Xiqing's body trembled slightly, and then he remembered that he hadn't saluted Zhao Junchen yet, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Su Xiqing has seen the old man...... Oh. No, Su Xiqing has seen Lord Shangshu. ”

Generally speaking, only those servants in the mansion will call Zhao Junchen "master", and Su Xiqing, as the bookkeeper in the Zhao mansion, has only an employment relationship with the Zhao mansion, so he should call Zhao Junchen "adult".

Seeing Su Xiqing's panicked appearance, he even made a mistake in the title, Zhao Junchen shook his head secretly, frowned slightly, and said: "It's all your own people, so you don't need to be polite...... I remember that you went with me to Lu'an Mansion for disaster relief, and you also reported the accounts and money to me in person, and you were quite capable and shrewd at that time, but you were not so flustered, why are you so out of shape today? ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Su Xiqing couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Indeed, when Su Xiqing followed Zhao Junchen to Lu'an Mansion, he helped Zhao Junchen take care of the money and grain accounts, and was also summoned by Zhao Junchen and asked about the accounts.

Su Xiqing didn't know that when he was in Lu'an Mansion, Zhao Junchen had just come to this era, and he had not yet adapted to his new identity and environment, and he had no official momentum, so he could still deal with it easily.

But now Zhao Junchen has adapted to his status and identity, as the so-called "living and moving qi, raising and moving the body", it has long been different from the past, although he did not deliberately put on a shelf at this time, but between his hands and feet, he has a temperament that has lived in people for a long time and makes people feel awe--just after Su Xiqing entered the study, Zhao Junchen just looked at it, which made Su Xiqing lose ground and panic.

It's just that Su Xiqing is now in the bureau, and he didn't understand this reason, and after hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, he just didn't dare to say much.

Sighing secretly, Zhao Junchen shook his head lightly, with some disappointment, and asked: "I summoned you to meet this time, because I heard that you were once a master of Shaoxing, and you are also good at this, but is this the case?" ”

And after such a period of buffering, and seeing that Zhao Junchen did not blame himself, Su Xiqing finally calmed down a little, and in order to save his impression, he hurriedly replied: "Back to the adult, the villain is indeed a Shaoxing person, among the ancestors, although there was a fellow jinshi, it can also be regarded as a scholarly family, but it has long declined, so since the villain's grandfather, forced to make a living, relying on rough writing and books, since then he has either served as a master in the local government's mansion, or served as a doorman in the official's mansion, and has been five generations so far. Although the villain does not dare to say that he is proficient in this way, this way can be regarded as the ancestral inheritance of the villain. ”

Speaking of this, Su Xiqing's expression finally flashed with a hint of pride and confidence.

Zhao Junchen raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised by Su Xiqing's family background, and asked again: "Oh? Since you have such qualifications, why didn't you continue to do it, and you could only serve as the bookkeeper in my house, wouldn't it be a condescension? Even...... What's the reason for that? ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Junchen would ask like this, Su Xiqing's face couldn't help but change, and his expression was even more flustered.

But after hesitating for a moment, Su Xiqing finally decided to tell the truth, and said with a wry smile: "Originally, although the master's business was not very noble, it was also considered to be eating and drinking, and the villain naturally wanted to inherit the ancestral business and continue to work, but when it came to my father's generation, it was unlucky, my father assisted three local officials in a row, but the three local officials were dismissed for various reasons, or were asked to be imprisoned, and then it was rumored that my father was Rumors of Lord Rick', and then no official dared to recruit my father as a staff member or master. ”

"What does that have to do with you?" Zhao Junchen continued to ask.

Su Xiqing gritted his teeth and continued: "After my father retired, he had a lot of hopes for the villain, and he also taught him carefully, wanting to let the villain revitalize the family business. Coupled with the rumors of my father's 'Ke Master', everyone thought that villains were the same, and no one would dare to hire villains as masters or staff members in the future. Although he has recommended himself everywhere, he has only run into walls everywhere.

In desperation, the villain had to stay away from his hometown and come to the capital to find a way, but he didn't expect that there were some fellow villagers in the capital who knew about these situations. ”

Speaking of this, Su Xiqing cautiously looked up at Zhao Junchen, with a little fear on his face, for fear that Zhao Junchen would blast himself out of the Zhao Mansion because of his rumors of "Ke Zhu" -- in this era, the vast majority of officials are still very affected by the ethereal remarks of "hitting Ke Zhu".

However, to Su Xiqing's surprise, Zhao Junchen didn't care about this, but looked at himself with interest.

…………

"It seems that this Su Xiqing is not as useless as he imagined, but the fate of these years has made him frustrated, and he has already lost confidence in himself, so after seeing himself, he will be so discouraged because of a little hope......"

Between such secret thoughts, Zhao Junchen nodded lightly, and finally had some expectations for Su Xiqing.

Next, Zhao Junchen began to ask Su Xiqing about the knowledge needed by some staff members or masters, but saw that Su Xiqing was a little sluggish at first, but gradually he responded fluently, obviously not losing his ancestral skills.

In this regard, Zhao Junchen couldn't help nodding secretly.

It's just that these are all the same, and they are far from meeting Zhao Junchen's requirements for his staff.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen changed his words and asked again: "Do you know what is the purpose of my summoning you this time?" ”
