According to Zhao Junchen's idea, the selection of candidates to enter the palace among the Zhao family women this time is actually an "interview assessment". A group of Zhao family women compete for the "position" of the harem concubines. After their own selection, who has the ability?
Only those who are incompetent will be put on the job and those who are incompetent will be eliminated. This is good for both ourselves and others. It’s that simple.←
Therefore, when selecting people, Zhao Junchen also imitated the "interview" process of later generations, especially Zhao Junchen's questions, which were similar to the interview examiners' questioning style when companies in later generations recruited people.
However, in the eyes of people of this era, the seven questions raised by Zhao Junchen were both direct and tricky. They were completely opposite to the implicit and euphemistic principles of Confucian culture and the principle of not talking lightly about profit. People were not mentally prepared at all.
Therefore, when the women of the Zhao family answered the questions, they were all a little flustered and confused. They managed to answer some questions, but most of them answered incorrectly.
Zhao Junchen was naturally a little disappointed with this result, thinking that there were really no outstanding figures among the women of the Zhao family.
If you have to say it, only Zhao Ying'er's answer can be considered qualified.
At that time, because of the recommendation of Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing, Zhao Junchen deliberately summoned Zhao Ying'er first, not allowing Zhao Ying'er time to prepare, and wanted to test Zhao Ying'er's quick wit and adaptability.
After being summoned by Zhao Junchen, Zhao Ying'er quickly came to the lobby with a respectful expression. She saluted Zhao Junchen and said, "Zhao Ying'er has met your Excellency. I have heard for a long time that you are an outstanding person from the Zhao family once in a century. Ying."
Today we finally have the chance to meet each other. I am so happy."
During the greetings, Zhao Ying'er was neither overly lively nor too introverted. She just tried to please Zhao Junchen in a well-behaved manner. It was hard for anyone to find fault with her.
After finishing speaking, Zhao Ying'er raised her eyes slightly and looked at Zhao Junchen secretly, as if she wanted to judge Zhao Junchen's personality through the changes in Zhao Junchen's expression, and then choose ways and means to please Zhao Junchen based on Zhao Junchen's personality.
.
Zhao Junchen saw all Zhao Ying'er's little thoughts and actions, and nodded secretly, feeling quite satisfied.
At the same time, Zhao Junchen also secretly observed Zhao Ying'er's appearance, body, temperament and appearance, and found that Zhao Ying'er was indeed a rare beauty. Her facial features were clear, well-matched, graceful and graceful, and her skin was fair, which gave people a stunning sense of beauty. The only
The only fly in the ointment is her eyes - although they are very big and bright, they are too slender, and the corners of her eyes are obviously a little upturned. Although they are beautiful, they are just like the eyes of a fox, which makes people look a bit confused.
A coquettish feeling.
After observing, Zhao Junchen said slowly and calmly: "Sit down. I am meeting you this time. I just want to ask you some questions and understand your situation. You don't need to be nervous and think too much. Answer me seriously.
It’s a good question.”
Seeing that Zhao Junchen's expression was serious and somewhat informal, Zhao Ying'er's expression also became more serious. After sitting down, she nodded to Zhao Junchen and said, "Excuse me, sir."
"Your name. And your relationship with the Zhao family."
"My daughter's name is Zhao Ying'er, and my father's name is Zhao Defeng. Unfortunately, he passed away due to illness thirteen years ago. Ying'er has been living with her grandfather these years. My grandfather's name is Zhao Xingzu, who is responsible for managing the Zhao family ancestral temple. Among the elders of the Zhao family
He has some reputation, sir, you have seen him in the past two days."
As she spoke, Zhao Ying'er looked sad, as if she wanted to win Zhao Junchen's sympathy through her late father.
Zhao Junchen, however, remained calm and continued to ask: "What do you think your strengths are? What are your weaknesses?"
Facing Zhao Junchen's straightforward inquiry, Zhao Ying'er was a little overwhelmed at first, but she immediately realized that this was a great opportunity to recommend herself to Zhao Junchen, so Zhao Ying'er quickly calmed down and meditated a little.
After a moment, he slowly replied: "Ying'er grew up under the care of her grandfather. She had no parents or brothers, so she was helpless. Therefore, Ying'er has always reminded herself since she was a child that she must not cause trouble to others.
It must not be annoying, so if Ying'er has any advantages, it is that she is good at observing people's expressions... As for her shortcomings, probably Ying'er's eyes are not good-looking. Some people always say they are fox eyes, but unfortunately her appearance is natural.
, Ying'er can't decide either."
Hearing what Zhao Ying'er said, Zhao Junchen secretly felt funny, but he also nodded secretly.
Zhao Ying'er's grandfather, Zhao Xingzu, is the leading figure among the elders of the Zhao family, second only to the head of the Zhao family. As Zhao Xingzu's only granddaughter, Zhao Ying'er has always been doted on by everyone in the Zhao family. It can be said that Zhao Ying'er's status in the Zhao family is like
How can a princess be as pitiful as Zhao Ying'er described?
However, it is true that Zhao Ying'er is good at observing words and expressions. It can be clearly seen in Zhao Ying'er's words and actions.
As for Zhao Ying'er listing her words and emotions as her own strengths, she is obviously hinting to Zhao Junchen that she can adapt to the life in the harem and is the best candidate to enter the harem - after all, the situation in the harem is complicated.
The ability is indispensable.
Being able to think of so much in a short period of time shows that Zhao Ying'er's quick wit and adaptability are indeed quite good.
In addition, Zhao Ying'er frankly stated her flaws in appearance. Although she was a bit evasive, she could be considered to have a clearer self-understanding.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen is quite satisfied with Zhao Ying'er's answer - although it is a bit cunning, he is also smart enough.
So Zhao Junchen asked again: "What do you think you are good at and what do you think you are not good at?"
It was still a straightforward way of asking, but Zhao Ying'er did not panic this time. She seemed to have adapted to Zhao Junchen's style. After thinking again for a moment, Zhao Ying'er replied: "Ying'er is good at all the things that a daughter's family should be good at, such as needlework.
Female celebrity, cooking skills, in addition, I have also learned some poetry, singing and dancing, but I can't say that I am proficient in it. As for the things that I am not good at... There are many things that Ying'er is not good at. After all, Ying'er has only dabbled in women's talents in these years.
, but everyone in this world has something they are not good at, and Yinger does not insist that she can be proficient in everything, as long as she knows how to use her strengths and avoid her weaknesses."
It seemed that she was worried that Zhao Junchen would test her in school, so Zhao Ying'er did not exaggerate in any way, and still gave an answer that avoided the important and trivial, but this answer was still smart enough.
Therefore, although Zhao Junchen was slightly disappointed, he did not show any dissatisfaction. He just continued to ask: "So, tell me the reason why you want to enter the palace."
Compared with the previous three questions, this question is undoubtedly much more important, so while asking, Zhao Junchen's eyes were fixed on Zhao Ying'er's face, not letting go of the slightest change in Zhao Ying'er's expression.
Facing this question from Zhao Junchen, Zhao Ying'er spent much longer in thought than before.
