Chapter 67 Ping for mercy

I saw Cheng Zichen again one morning. When the little maid outside said that Mr. Cheng came to look for him, Yuyu was still surprised. When he really saw Cheng Zichen, he still seemed to be dreaming. He led Cheng Zichen to the side room and served tea for him. Why are you so free today?" Yu Yu looked at him with a smile and said.

"Come with Huang Yuenuan. She went to see the Third Highness, and I came here by the way."

"Oh." Yuyu frowned. Huang Yuenuan came too often. Although the prince's mansion in the palace is in the outer palace, across the palace wall from the main palace, and it is relatively casual to go in and out, but this is too much, and it is still in the morning. Xuanyi usually has something to do even at home. I guess I will come to complain again in the afternoon. Yuyu thought so and lowered her head and smiled.

Cheng Zichen looked at her. This little cousin was not outstanding before. She heard from her mother that the two families were originally joking about the marriage, but later she saw that their family was not doing well. Her mother... didn't want to. She chattered at home all day long and asked him to be estranged from her... I remembered the time when she fell into the water three years ago... It was because...

However, in the past two years, she has grown up, a little brighter than before, and although she was rejected by her own family - at that time, she fought for a concubine with her mother for a long time, but her family did not seem to appreciate it. She felt that she was wronged to be a concubine for herself, and it was indeed - now she seems to be very spoiled, and she herself I have heard my parents nagging. Now her brother, one in the army and the other in the engineering department, have found a good position. Thinking of the last time I ate barbecue here, His Highness and his confidants around him chose Yuyu's roasted meat, which obviously knew her habitual taste. The way to add seasonings to the three meats is completely different.

When she saw Yuyu bowing her head, the bright red tourmaline stone sway down her ear, remembering that Huang Yuenuan said that the jewelry on her body was very valuable. She couldn't afford such jewelry before...

Maybe...it's really okay... Thinking like this, Cheng Zichen sighed, "Alas."

"What's the matter?" Yu Yu really asked.

"Nothing..." Cheng Zichen suddenly felt a little despicable...

"Is there anything bothering you? Say it, maybe I can help you figure it out." Yuyu said softly, "I don't know why, she always behaves very actively in front of Cheng Zichen, and also in front of Cheng Chen in this world.

"Alas, recently... I want to find a position in the household department, but I haven't been able to get there." Cheng Zichen said, "But it doesn't make sense to tell you this."

"Well... Who is in charge of this matter? Although I don't have much knowledge, I think these things mainly depend on relationships, but the position of the household department is very powerful. I'm afraid it's not easy. Do you know how many competitors there are?" Yuyu asked with concern.

"Well, there are three people who are in better conditions at present. Speaking of which... This supervisor is a subordinate of the Third Highness, so I came today mainly to visit him. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I took the opportunity to see you first. Cheng Zichen said with a smile.

"Ah, well, you came too early. He only comes back every night now." Yu Yu said.

"Isn't it? I've inquired that they don't have much to do today and should be back after dinner. Cheng Zichen said.

"So you've inquired about it, but it's only morning. Are you here to take my meal?" Yu Yu smiled sideways.

"It's better to rub against nature."

"No problem."

Yuyu couldn't rest assured, and asked Cheng Zichen in detail about the position he wanted, what the requirements were, who was in charge of the direct supervisor, and who was in charge of the appointment. After a detailed analysis, I think Xuanchen should be able to help.

But after the analysis, Yuyu was at a loss. What if she analyzed it by herself? Can't you ask Xuanchen for help? What's your position to say? This kind of political matter is that you are just a maidservant. Even if you are Xuanchen, you shouldn't talk too much.

Thinking about this, Yu Yuyu said, "Although His Highness has a great decision-making power, he still has to prepare more. After all, His Highness will not directly participate in the selection and appointment. It's better to have his support. Now he still has to make more plans. In case His Highness refuses to help, the formal channel has the right to make the decision. People who like what they like and what personality type they prefer should be inquired in many ways, so that even if the Second Highness refuses to do so, there will be one more chance for formal selection and appointment.

Speaking of this, Yuyu smiled. Thinking that Cheng Chen in this world hated his preaching the most, he softened his voice a little and said, "Well, even if the Second Highness is willing to help, these relationships must be dealt with well. After all, he will follow them in the future, and it is difficult for the Second Highness to take care of everything. It's better to have a good relationship now, so that they don't think that you are under the pressure of the Second Highness. Although it's not easy to brush your face, you will feel uncomfortable if you go in secretly.

Cheng Zichen couldn't help but be shocked when he heard what she said. He smiled for a long time, "That's right, but let's consider it first. There's not so much spare money."

When Yuyu saw that he smiled reluctantly, he knew that he was blocked in his heart. On the one hand, he didn't like women to be stupid, and on the other hand, he didn't like women to be too shrewd. Yuyu had a headache. This person was really Cheng Chen, and he smiled gently. "What you said is very much. This is indeed the most important thing. I have written down those people. You can ask Xuanyi. Inking, he knows this best. In addition, about money. Yuyu paused here and was really a little sad about what he was going to say next. "Although I'm not rich, I don't spend much money on weekdays. If you need it, I can lend you first, and it's the same for you to pay me back in the future."

Hearing what she said, Cheng Zichen's face softened a lot. Hearing her talk about borrowing money, he was a little hesitant. "Is this... appropriate?"

"What's wrong with you? I will count on you if you are developed in the future." Yuyu joked. Wait for me for a while." With that, he got up and went back to the house and checked for a long time. In fact, there was not much cash. It was usually rewarded by Xuanchen and left for himself for urgent use. Xuanchen said that he always had to put some money around him.

The remaining jewelry, the precious jewelry, are the gold and silver given by Jingfei at that time, and... It was given by Xuanchen. She will definitely not take it away.

I wrapped the cash in a bag, and there were more than 100 taels. Yuyu usually uses less money, but I didn't pay attention to how much. This count jumped, and there were actually a lot. However, it is not enough to use it as a bribe, Yuyu sighed in his heart. Thinking about it again and again, he opened the locked drawer and hesitated for a long time. He took out two silver tickets of 500 taels from it. His hands trembled a little. This money... At that time, when Xuanchen gave it to him, he said that he had borrowed it here. In case of an emergency, he would withdraw it from Yuyu - although he said so, Yuyu knew that he was actually preparing for himself. Use it - but after all, it means borrowing, otherwise the jade language will not be accepted. There is a feeling of being guilty now.

Yu Yu thought about it over and over again, comforted himself that he had borrowed it. Finally, he took it out and put the cash silver back. He came to the side hall and gave the silver ticket to Cheng Zichen.

Cheng Zichen took it in surprise and opened it. He never thought that Yuyu had so much cash, "This...how can you have..."

"Your Highness has put it with me for the time being."

"Then I can't take it well." Cheng Zichen hesitated.

"It's okay. He won't use it. It's been a year." Yu Yu smiled, and his smile was a little stiff. Cheng Zichen didn't see it, but said, "That's good." Then I took it.

The two began to talk about some parents' gossip, and Yuyu left Cheng Zichen for lunch. In the afternoon, Xuanyi really ran over. When he saw Cheng Zichen, he was a little surprised and couldn't say anything. The three of them sat together and chatted. Yuyu pretended not to care about some things in front of Cheng Zichen. Xuanyi said something lightly, but it was not as lively as usual. Yuyu knew that it was because of Cheng Zichen's presence, so he had to stop talking.

Cheng Zichen realized that the atmosphere was different. He stood up and said goodbye, "There is still something to do in the afternoon. Come back later." With that, I left.

After Yuyu sent him away, he began to inquire about the preferences of the officials of the Ministry of Household, "Why are you asking these? I remember that you don't pay special attention to these things. You only care about their jokes. Xuanyi was as lively as before. He said it seriously, but she still told her one by one.

Yu Yu kept it in his heart and said with a smile, "Occasionally, I also care about serious things."

"Yu Yu." Xuanyi said seriously, "Don't be confused for a moment and participate in something you shouldn't be involved in."

Yuyu has never seen Xuanyi like this. He couldn't help but panic and stammered, "What am I involved in?"

Xuanyi squinted and said, "When did Cheng Zichen come to you? Why did he come to you today? I heard that there is a vacancy in the household department, and the second brother is in charge of the household department. Yuyu..." Saying this, Xuanyi stopped and just looked at Yuyu. His expression of wanting to speak made Yuyu feel painful. He looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I know." Then he laughed and said, "Look at what you said, I have to be capable no matter what I want."

Xuanyi looked at her smile in the sun and finally didn't say any more. She just changed the topic and talked about something else.

After having dinner with Yuyu in the evening, Xuanyi left.

Yuyu waited in the main hall and waited for Cheng Zichen to come again. Finally, he didn't wait for Cheng Zichen. Xuanchen came back before Hai. Yuyu was absent-minded and made tea for Xuanchen, and then stood beside him trembling, hesitating. Should he say it or not? Or should we wait for Cheng Zichen to say it himself? Why didn't Cheng Zichen come tonight?

"How are you today?" Xuanchen asked the routine questions every day indifferently.

"Uh..." Yu Yuyu thought for a moment and thought it was an opportunity. It's better to mention it first to see what Xuanchen's reaction is. If it's not good, it's better not to let Cheng Zichen say it, otherwise it's not beautiful to say it. Thinking like this, he made up his mind, "Cheng Zichen came this morning and I'm looking for you." As he spoke, he looked at Xuanchen's face carefully. Unfortunately, he didn't see anything, so he had to continue to say, "It seems that... it seems to be about work."

Xuanchen's hand holding tea paused slightly. Then he continued to drink tea without making a sound.

Yuyu had to go down and say, "It seems that there is a vacant job in the Ministry of Household. I want to ask what the requirements are." Yuyu said hard and immediately changed the topic, "In the afternoon, Xuanyi came to sit for a while, and we had dinner together. Oh, by the way, I also entertained Cheng Zichen for lunch at noon.

Xuanchen didn't say anything, but nodded lightly, "That's good." As she said, she looked sideways at Yuyu. She was standing aside with her head down, slightly tilting her head and looking at her face. Seeing that she looked at her, she looked away in a panic and looked at her hand. When her head swayed, the earrings of tourmaline stone shook slightly on the side of her face and fainted in the light.

Don't you dare to look at yourself? If there is nothing else to hide from her, this kind of guilty attitude shows that she came to say to herself with the mentality of helping Cheng Zichen plead for mercy. Otherwise, why did she have a look of shame and panic?

Xuanchen suddenly felt tired and came up again, mixed with a little sadness, with different flavors and indistinguishable.

Looking back at the tea in my cup, as transparent as ever, I felt soft in my heart.

I closed my eyes, cheered up, and began to think about the empty position in the household department. There are three families who want this position. Now there are more Cheng Zichen. This person is actually not excellent, especially not suitable for the position in the household department. In this person's own contact, he feels that he is still upright, but he is too simple to do things and not change. In the household. This position of the department is actually not suitable.

It's okay, that's it. It's just that since this is the case, I won't come forward to do this favor, so who is the most suitable... Xuanchen's fingers tapped on the lid of the tea bowl, and there was a calculation in his heart, and a faint smile came out.
