Chapter 363. Ritual (above).

……

……

Zhao Junchen is now one of the few powerful ministers in the temple, and the Zhao family is just a local tyrant landlord near Yangzhou, the influence of the two can be said to be far away, if it were not for the will of Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen would not be so hard for the Zhao family, exhausting his mind, now Zhao Junchen wants to recognize his ancestors and return to the Zhao family, this matter for Zhao Junchen himself, in fact, there is no gain, but for the Yangzhou Zhao family, the benefits are countless.

Therefore, the Yangzhou Zhao family naturally hopes that this matter can be solemnly announced to the world and publicized with great fanfare, so that everyone can see the deep backstage of the Yangzhou Zhao family, so that with the help of Zhao Junchen's momentum, the Yangzhou Zhao family will also grow significantly under the power of the fox and the tiger.

Therefore, on the occasion of Zhao Junchen's return to the Zhao family, a huge ceremony was held, which became the collective will of the Zhao family in Yangzhou, and everyone in the Zhao family would be honored and stained with a lot of glory.

Therefore, although the proposal to hold the ceremony was proposed by Zhao Deqing, the former head of the Zhao family, and Zhao Deqing has now lost the position of the head of the family, whether it is the new head of the family Zhao Deshun or the elders of the Zhao family, they do not plan to change this plan.

In this matter, Zhao Junchen also once again saw the efficiency of the Zhao family in Yangzhou when it comes to their own interests, which is only one day. The Yangzhou Zhao family has already completed a lot of progress.

Since the Yangzhou Zhao family has done a good job in this matter, Zhao Junchen does not plan to interfere, except for the list of guests who will watch the ceremony. Zhao Junchen did not interfere at all, but just let the Yangzhou Zhao family play on their own.

According to the plan of the Zhao family in Yangzhou, this ceremony will be held in three days, although the time is very urgent, but the Zhao family is full of confidence.

*

In the next two days, while the Zhao family in Yangzhou was busy for this ceremony, Zhao Junchen was not idle.

The next morning. After Zhao Junchen had breakfast, he invited Zhao Yinger to meet again.

Last night, Zhao Junchen announced in public that Zhao Yinger would be the final candidate for entering the palace. At this time, Zhao Yinger naturally got the news, so after she saw Zhao Junchen, she naturally expressed her gratitude again and again, and once again assured Zhao Junchen that everything in the future would be based on Zhao Junchen.

It's just that. With a shift in identity. Zhao Yinger's mentality also quietly changed slightly, and when facing Zhao Junchen, although her expression was still respectful, there was also a hint of reserve.

In this regard, Zhao Junchen didn't say anything on the surface, but after Zhao Ying'er's words of gratitude were finished, he said without moving: "In my opinion, you are indeed the most suitable candidate to enter the palace." If you enter the palace, it will be beneficial to me. So you don't need to say too much gratitude, I just made the right choice...... I just hope you don't make me regret it in the future. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Zhao Ying'er was about to say something more, but before she could speak, Zhao Junchen continued: "However, before you enter the palace, there is one more thing that needs to be resolved...... According to the usual practice, you can bring a confidant to accompany the maid into the palace together, this maid seems inconspicuous, but in fact it is very important, after all, the situation in the harem is complicated, and the palace maid arranged for you in the palace may be other people's eyeliner, may not be reliable, so it is also necessary to bring one of your own people into the palace, otherwise when encountering things, there is not even a reliable helper around, it is inevitably a little embarrassing. ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen said again: "I know, there was originally a maid by your side, and she has been serving you for many years, but I have investigated, that maid was born in a farmer's household, and her behavior is a little vulgar on weekdays, she can't be elegant, and she also has the problem of chewing the root of her tongue...... Well, do you have the right person in mind? ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen talk about the matter so seriously, Zhao Yinger's expression also became cautious, but since the candidate who accompanied the maid was so important, the requirements were naturally extremely high, but most of the people Zhao Yinger came into contact with on weekdays were the maids and maids within the Zhao family, and the quality of these people was not as good as the original maids around her, so how could they take on the big responsibility?

So, after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Ying'er shook her head at Zhao Junchen and said, "Ying'er doesn't have any suitable candidates in her heart, so you might as well assign a maid to Ying'er." With your eyes, you can naturally find the right candidate, and Yinger can use it with peace of mind. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "In my opinion, this candidate is best chosen among the school-age women within the Zhao family, after all, they are related by blood and are their own clansmen, so they are much more reliable than ordinary maidservants." Well, I think Zhang Zhaodi is very suitable, she is a person, her personality is low-key, she doesn't chew the root of her tongue, and she has a bad background, and now she is just sending people under the fence, let her serve as your accompanying maid, for her, not only will she not lose her value, but she can improve her life, and she will not have any complaints, in addition, she has a distant relationship with the Zhao family, even if she hides her identity and enters the palace, it is not easy to be exposed, what do you think? ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's suggestion, Zhao Yinger's complexion changed slightly.

Zhao Yinger doesn't like Zhang Zhaodi very much, because Zhang Zhaodi's existence will always highlight her shortcomings and make people ignore her advantages, so Zhao Yinger is unwilling to let Zhang Zhaodi enter the palace with her no matter what.

So, Zhao Ying'er tactfully raised her objections, and said: "My lord, your proposal is naturally excellent, but I have always had a different personality with Zhang Zhaodi, if I enter the palace with her, I am afraid that it will not be easy to use......

Zhao Junchen said with a smile: "You are looking for a maidservant, not a sister or a girlfriend, it doesn't matter if your personality is compatible or not, as long as you can use it with confidence." I know you've had conflicts with Zhang Zhaodi, but in my opinion, Zhang Zhaodi isn't the kind of person who holds a grudge in her heart, as long as you treat her better in the future. Naturally, she will do things for you. After all, you do lack a low-key, cautious maid like Zhang Zhaodi. ”

Zhao Yinger hesitated for a moment and raised an objection again. said: "If you want to choose this candidate to accompany the maidservant among the women of the Zhao family, Ying'er also has two good choices." ”

Then, Zhao Yinger said the names of the two Zhao family women.

Zhao Junchen said with a smile: "These two women of the Zhao family have a good family background, and they are all the eldest lady on weekdays, let them commit themselves to being your maidservants, I am afraid they will complain." Maybe something will happen in the future. What's more, the relationship between these two people and the Zhao family is too close, and it is easy for people to detect their identities. After all, His Majesty only asked me to recruit a woman from the Zhao family into the palace, and if I took the opportunity to secretly change the number, it would inevitably attract criticism...... And most importantly......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen's smile added some meaning. continued: "You remember when I saw you yesterday. What was the last question I asked you? ”

This is something that only happened yesterday, not to mention that Zhao Junchen's way of asking is also impressive, Zhao Ying'er naturally won't forget it, and replied: "My lord, what you are asking is, if the final candidate for entering the palace is not Ying'er, then who Ying'er wants to enter the palace and who does not want to enter the palace." ”

"I asked both of them the same question. So, guess how they answered that question at the time? Zhao Junchen's smile became more meaningful.

Zhao Yinger is a smart woman after all. After hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, his face changed slightly. Then there was a flash of resentment in his eyes, but in an instant, he calmed down, changed to a wry smile and helpless look, and said slowly: "Although I call each other sisters with them on weekdays, it is inevitable that there will be comparisons between sisters, and I have always pressed the two of them, so if the two of them can't enter the palace, I'm afraid they won't want to let Ying'er enter the palace." ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "You are very smart, but you are not really smart, really smart people need to know how to recognize people, and you need to strengthen some in this regard." ”

Regarding Zhao Junchen's teachings, Zhao Ying'er's expression was a little complicated, and she nodded: "Thank you for your teachings, Ying'er must remember it." ”

After speaking, Zhao Yinger thought of her previous bullying of Zhang Zhaodi, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Junchen: "I hope you tell me, how did Zhang Zhaodi answer this question?" ”

Zhao Junchen smiled slightly and replied: "Zhang Zhaodi doesn't care whether she can enter the palace or not, so she didn't answer this question, but she at least doesn't want you to enter the palace, so you can also get a glimpse of Zhang Zhaodi's quality...... The most important thing is that this woman has no ambitions, is unruly and easy to control, which means that she will never cause you trouble in the future. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Junchen looked like he had just discovered Zhao Yinger's thoughts, and after being "slightly stunned", he asked Zhao Yinger, "What?" Listen to what you mean, it seems that you are not satisfied with my proposal? ”

At this time, Zhao Yinger's entry into the palace is not a certainty, Zhao Junchen can regret it at any time, how dare Zhao Yinger refute Zhao Junchen's suggestion? What's more, Zhao Junchen's suggestion is indeed reasonable.

Therefore, Zhao Ying'er hesitated for a moment and replied: "Your recommendation is excellent, my lord, and Ying'er naturally has no dissatisfaction." ”

Zhao Junchen smiled again: "Since this is the case, this matter is so decided." ”

After getting Zhao Ying'er, Zhang Zhaodi will be very good at this aspect.

Zhang Zhaodi is now staying at her distant cousin's house, so all her arrangements are decided by her distant cousin, but Zhang Zhaodi's distant cousin is also a person who tends to be inflammatory, after Zhao Junchen summoned Zhang Zhaodi's distant cousin, only gave him a little benefit, this person simply said to Zhao Junchen, "Everything about the Zhang family's sisters and brothers will be decided by Lord Zhao in the future".

After getting the approval of Zhang Zhaodi's distant cousin, Zhao Junchen summoned Zhang Zhaodi again, and explained to Zhang Zhaodi that he wanted to arrange for her to enter the palace as Zhao Yinger's accompanying maid, Zhang Zhaodi still looked like he was going against the grain, and did not express any objections, only when Zhao Junchen said that he wanted to arrange for Zhang Zhaodi's younger brother to enter the Zhao family school to study, Zhang Zhaodi's expression showed a little joy and peace of mind.

Obviously, Zhang Zhaodi's life at her distant cousin's house was not happy, so even if she was asked to follow Zhao Yinger into the palace, even if she knew that Zhao Yinger didn't like her, Zhang Zhaodi didn't show too much resistance.

Next, Zhao Junchen arranged for Zhang Zhaodi to meet with Zhao Yinger, so that the two of them could "reconcile", and also explained to them in detail Emperor Deqing's personality habits, skills to please Emperor Deqing, the current situation in the harem, and future contact methods.

Zhao Yinger is indeed a very smart woman, and she learns very hard, and she quickly mastered all the teachings of Zhao Junchen.

However, Zhao Junchen ostensibly taught Zhao Yinger, but in fact it was to teach Zhang Zhaodi, as for how much Zhang Zhaodi can learn, it depends on Zhang Zhaodi herself.

After all, some of Zhao Junchen's plans are very important and secretive, and now is not the time for Zhang Zhaodi to understand.

*

After arranging the affairs of Zhao Yinger and Zhang Zhaodi, Zhao Junchen was still not idle, and then took turns to meet with the Zhao family disciples who were about to enter the Guozijian alone, and in addition to further inspecting these Zhao family children, he also personally reminded them of some precautions after entering the Guozijian.

What is the future of these Zhao family children, it is still very difficult to say, but after they become prisoners, they will inevitably be the pillars of the Zhao family in Yangzhou in the future, Zhao Junchen is now "exchanging feelings" with them, in addition to preventing these Zhao family children from causing trouble for themselves after entering the Guozi Prison, it is also to further strengthen their control over the Zhao family.

After Zhao Junchen finished everything, the Yangzhou Zhao family's long-prepared homecoming ceremony was finally about to begin.
