Wei Yunqing expected that his proposal would be opposed, so he looked at Mao Yirong with a calm face and said, "Lord Mao, I don't know what you think I am messing around with?" ”

The three people who were called did not have a say in this matter, and they even wondered how Wei Yunqing, the harem concubine, was not only involved in it, but also openly confronted Lord Mao. But they could only listen from the sidelines, and they could not speak freely.

And the rest of the cabinet, although they agree with Mao Yirong and dislike Mao Yirong, but in this matter, including Wen Huai, they all feel that Wei Yunqing's proposal is too nonsense, so they naturally stand on the same front with Mao Yirong, and stand silently behind Mao Yirong to support him.

Mao Yirong was full of confidence, and said eloquently: "Niangniang, this matter of selecting officials in the Anthology Division is a major event in the imperial court, first pushed up by the Ministry of Officials, and then approved by the emperor, and now Niangniang is actually such a child's play, just by whether she can choose a suitable person for you to decide the candidate for the Anthology Division, how can you convince the public?" ”

Those officials to be selected are either from their parents as officials or recommended by high-ranking and powerful people to enter the court as officials, or they are admitted through the imperial examination, that is, thousands of troops have crossed the single-plank bridge, and the pass rate is much lower than the college entrance examination admission rate, after all, they are consciously superior, Mao Yirong's pride when he faced Wei Yunqing on weekdays was directly written on the door of his head - because of this, Cao Jun did not have a good impression of most of the civil officials of the previous dynasty, they looked down on him, and he also looked down on them, a group of pedantic scholars!

"I don't agree with that." Wei Yunqing smiled slightly, not to be outdone, "As the so-called seeing is subtle, if the three candidates can't even choose a subordinate, who will believe that they can choose the imperial court officials?" Just rely on the relationship between a few adults and their in-laws and friends, and decide the candidate for Langzhong in one sentence, how to convince the public? ”

The words "in-laws" and "friends" in Wei Yunqing's mouth directly poked into the hearts of Mao Yirong and Jin Yan, they thought that she didn't know about those things, but they didn't think that she not only knew it, but also took it out to squeeze them! You must know that although they were well aware of each other's relationships when they had disputes before, they were only talking about the talents and experiences of those people, and no one would attack each other with those relationships, after all, no one is clean!

At this moment, Wei Yunqing didn't save face for them, and everyone was silent for a while. Anyway, she didn't directly name her, and no one wanted to sit in the right seat.

Wei Yunqing looked around and said with a smile: "Since several adults have no objections, let's decide so." She looked at the three candidates, "Which of the three adults will come first?" If you don't have your turn, please wait outside. ”

The three of them looked at each other, although they didn't want to listen to her in their hearts, but when they saw that none of the ministers objected, and it was useless for them to object, they pushed each other, and finally it was Lang Zhongyu Gongyan who came first, and the other two retreated first under the guidance of the chamberlain.

Wei Yunqing glanced at Cao Jun, he nodded, clapped his hands lightly, and four people walked in, it was the palace people of Yanxi Palace, the two palace maids were Yun Xin, Xue Mei, and the two chamberlains were Zhang Xiaocrab and Feng Tian, all of whom were carefully cultivated by Wei Yunqing before.

Although the ministers opposed Wei Yunqing's "child's play" selection, they were also a little curious about what she was going to do at this time. They all stared with wide eyes, and if there was any sign of being too "foolish", I am afraid that they would immediately go berserk.

"Lord Yu, at this moment, I will first wronged you to be the chief examiner of my Yanxi Palace, and choose a suitable subordinate for this palace. There is no shortage of palace maids in Yanxi Palace to manage weekday affairs, but there is a person who manages the accounts, I have a little money, and I want to find someone to take care of it for me. Whether it's a palace maid or a chamberlain, as long as I manage my belongings in an orderly manner, there are no mistakes or omissions. ”

Wei Yunqing quickly told Yu Gongyan about her selection requirements, and then asked, "Lord Yu, if you understand my request, let's start here, right?" ”

Yu Gongyan saluted and said, "Weichen understands. ”

"Okay, then Lord Yu, please sit here." Wei Yunqing nodded, pointed to the table that had been specially moved out in the middle of the venue, and looked at the four people who played the role of applicants, "Let's start." ”

The start signal was received over there, and the first person to come out was Yunxin. She walked to the table, bowed, lowered her head and opened her lips lightly: "Lord Yu, slave Yunxin." ”

After saying that, she bowed her head and waited there, her upright figure was slender and moving.

This new assessment method made Yu Gongyan a little nervous, he looked at the ministers and Wei Yunqing quietly, and saw that they were all looking at him quietly, his heart was even more worried, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Where is your home, and are there still people in the family?" ”

Yun Xin still bowed his head and replied: "The slave maid is from Qingzhou, and there are parents and a pair of younger siblings at home, but now the slave maid has been away from home for five years, and I don't know if there is a population in the family." ”

Yu Gongyan asked this question purely to relax and delay time, and when she finished answering, he already had an idea in his heart and asked, "Can you read and write, but can you do arithmetic?" ”

"Slaves and maids will know some." Yun Xin lowered his head as usual and replied unhurriedly.

"That'...... Are you willing to take care of the accounts for the imperial concubine? Yu Gongyan asked again.

Yun Xin still looked unhurried, and said eloquently: "The slave is naturally willing. The mother treats the slaves and maids very well, and the slaves and maids want to share their worries for the mothers. ”

"Do you have any experience in keeping accounts?" Yu Gongyan asked again.

Yun Xin paused, clasped his hands slightly in front of him, and then said slowly: "The slave maid used to take care of the accounts for a concubine of the former emperor who went to the immortal in the early years. ”

Yu Gongyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded: "Very good, very good." ”

He looked at Wei Yunqing and hesitated: "Niangniang, can Weichen call the next person?" ”

Wei Yunqing nodded and smiled: "At this moment, Lord Yu, you are the chief examiner, so naturally I will listen to you." ”

Yun Xin stepped back, and the next person to step forward was Zhang Xiaoxi, the waiter. Zhang Xiaocrab is clever, and he smiled as soon as he came up: "Lord Yu, villain Zhang Xiaocrab, because the villain's mother likes to eat crabs, she gave the villain such a memorable name." The villain's hometown is in Rongchuan, and now he has been away from home for ten years, and it is not clear whether his parents are still alive. The villain knows a few words, and simple arithmetic on weekdays is not difficult for the villain, but the villain has not taken care of the accounts, and I don't know if he can do it well. But if the adult chooses the villain to be the one who manages the accounts, the villain will not have the trust of the mother, and he will definitely die with all his might! ”

He crackled and said his situation according to what Yu Gongyan asked Yun Xin before, and then looked at Yu Gongyan when he finished speaking, and the latter was stunned for a while before he held back his words: "This official ...... You know, you...... What else do you have to say? ”

Zhang Xiaocrab smiled shyly, and said: "The villain dares to swear, the villain's loyalty to Niangniang is no less than that of Sister Yunxin, Lord Yu, the villain thinks that you must be right to choose the villain!" ”

“…… Well, you step back first. Yu Gongyan waved his hand, looking at his expression a little tired.

Zhang Xiaocrab returned to his original position with a smile, and when he passed Yun Xin, Yun Xin glanced at him coquettishly, he didn't care, he chuckled twice, and returned to Feng Tian to stand beside him.

The next one was Xuemei, she straightened her clothes before she walked up, and then Tingting came to Yu Gongyan in a curling manner. Unlike Zhang Xiaocrab, although she knew what Yu Gongyan might ask, she didn't rush to speak, and introduced herself lightly first: "Lord Yu, slave Xuemei, come to accept your assessment." ”

Yu Gongyan coughed, and the initiative to return to him made him feel good, and said slowly: "Where is your hometown?" ”

"The slave maid is a person from Jiangnan, her home is in a small village in Mao County, Yinzhou, and her parents were alive when she entered the palace, and now she heard that she is fine." Xuemei bowed her head and replied.

Yu Gongyan nodded with satisfaction, and the questions he asked next were not much different from before, and Xuemei answered them seriously one by one. In the end, Yu Gongyan stroked her short beard and asked her to step back and replace the next person.

The last one is Feng Tian. He had a simple face, and as soon as he walked in front of Yu Gongyan, he said with sincere fear: "Lord Yu, the villain's name is Feng Tian...... Others say that the villain is too dead-eyed, and he is not suitable to be the accountkeeper. ”

Yu Gongyan, who revealed his shortcomings as soon as he came, heard it for the first time today, and he asked curiously: "Then you don't want to be the one who manages the accounts?" ”

Feng Tian thought for a moment and replied, "The villain thought so." ”

Yu Gongyan was stunned by his words, and wondered: "Didn't you just say that you are too dead-eyed to be the one in charge of accounts?" ”

Feng Tian shook his head: "Lord Yu, you heard it wrong, it was said by others, and the villain didn't say that about himself." What others say may not be all right, and the villain thinks that it is not a bad thing to be dead-eyed, and it is just right to be in charge of the accounts. The villain wants to share the worries of the mother, and being the one in charge of the accounts is a great opportunity for the villain. ”

Yu Gongyan's face was blue and white for a while, and he looked around with some embarrassment, he didn't like this Feng Tian in his heart, this person looked honest, but he didn't give face at all when he spoke, and he set up a trap in his words in front of so many people, contradicted him, and made him lose face!

"Okay, this official knows your loyalty to Niangniang. So where is your home? Yu Gongyan didn't like this Feng Tian in his heart, but he didn't show it too much on his face, so he had to continue to ask questions perfunctorily.

But Feng Tian didn't feel it, and still answered Yu Gongyan's question seriously. Yu Gongyan didn't ask for too long, and quickly let Feng Tian retreat.

After the four of them finished asking, Yu Gongyan sat there and thought for a while before coming to Wei Yunqing and said, "Niangniang, Weichen has already decided who should be in charge of the accounts of this Yanxi Palace." ”

"Oh, who is it?" Wei Yunqing's face was curious. And the four of Yunxin also pricked up their ears and looked at them curiously.

Yu Gongyan smiled: "Weichen thinks that Yunxin girl can do it. ”

On the other side, Yun Xin had a smile on his face, and the other three had different expressions.

Wei Yunqing smiled and nodded, "Lord Yu, can you tell me why you chose Yunxin?" ”

Yu Gongyan said: "Weichen thinks that Miss Yunxin is literate and can do arithmetic, and she has also done bookkeeping before, so she has rich experience in handling things, and it is more appropriate for her to be the person in charge of Yanxi Palace." ”

Wei Yunqing seemed to have a look of approval on his face, so he said to Yu Gongyan: "This palace understands, please go outside to rest first, and then invite the other two adults to come back." ”

"Wechen retired first." Yu Gongyan left to take a look at several adults in the cabinet, especially Mao Yirong, but unfortunately Mao Yirong was still frowning at the moment, still wondering if the four people arranged by Wei Yunqing had any deep meaning, and ignored him, so he had to retreat in disappointment. 166 Reading Network
