He Zhangshi cleared his throat and carefully looked at each of the palace maids standing in front of him, but he didn't have any instructions, but after turning around like this for two or three times, he said faintly: "With all due respect, your appearance is really not satisfactory. ”

When the words landed, the palace maids who went out were all flushed, while the palace maids who stood in place were gloating and laughing secretly. Women have always valued their appearance, even if they know that their appearance is ordinary, but if others say that they look ugly in front of themselves, it is also unacceptable.

What's more, this was commenting on his subordinates in front of Cui Zhangshi, and it was clearly a slap in the face of Cui Zhangshi, which embarrassed her. Li Ruxuan glanced at it, and saw that Cui Zhangshi's face was really ugly, and it was slightly red.

He Zhangshi Danfeng glanced at the commotion of the crowd, and said lightly, "However, let me ask a few questions, if you can answer them, you can come with me, how about it?" ”

This is naturally good, and all the palace maids didn't even think about it, and replied in unison: "Yes." ”

Digging a pit to make people jump is a common method. Hit you with a stick first, and then give a date, because of the pain caused by the stick, whether the date is sweet or not, everyone will think that the date is sweet. But since I have received the dates, whether they are sweet or bitter, they have already been eaten, and I can't spit them out, so I can only suffer the consequences.

It seems that whether it is the ancient court or the modern workplace, the methods used are similar. Li Ruxuan shook her head regretfully, with an expression of hatred that iron could not become steel.

Sure enough, He Zhangshi asked with a smile: "Okay, let me ask you, when is the best time for this peony grafting?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the palace maids who still felt that there was a glimmer of hope immediately became depressed, and they all looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

He Zhangshi looked calm, as if this qiē was a reasonable thing.

It's no wonder that the palace maids who were pointed out to the Huanyi Bureau have been screened layer by layer, even if there are really one or two who have some experience in flowers and plants, but the peony is the national flower, and it is the favor of the rich and noble, which is extremely rare, for most of them are women from poor families, they have never seen it, let alone know how to graft.

This is what he is doing, and the question is too tricky.

"Aunt He, we don't know the question you asked, why don't you ask a few more questions, if we can't answer it, it's not too late for you to make a judgment." A round-faced palace maid saw that He was about to leave with her sleeves in charge, so she hurriedly made a big gift and said something to stay.

"A few more questions? You can't even answer a single question, wouldn't it be a waste of time to ask a few more? He Zhangshi smiled contemptuously, stroked a towering silver hairpin inlaid with gems on his hair, and sighed: "Cui Zhangshi, you don't have a suitable person here, it seems that I have to look elsewhere." ”

"Well, you'd better look elsewhere." Cui Zhangshi, who had been silent and had a cold face, responded lightly: "There are many people in the Huanyi Bureau, and I have no time to separate, so I won't give him any charge." ”

He Zhangshi was not annoyed when he heard her words, but he just helped the hand of the little palace maid beside him, smiled faintly, and left.

As soon as He Zhangshi left, Fang Cai was still secretly happy, and the faces of the proud little palace maids were all gray, and they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, just stood in place, waiting for the storm to come.

It is no wonder that at any time and in any place, if you turn your back on the old master and want to seek a new position, and if you can't, how can you not fall into the hands of the old master and be tortured? What's more, it's such a stern aunt as Cui Zhangshi.

Sure enough, Cui Zhangshi smiled coldly, and after two or three rounds of inspection, he shouted: "Palm!" ”

The little palace maids didn't dare to refute, not even begging for mercy, they all knelt on the ground with a "poof", and began to slap their cheeks, remorse, and tears fell.

"Mao'er hasn't grown up yet, so I thought about picking up Gao Zhi'er and flying, and I didn't look at my own appearance, which one matched this raccoon clothes bureau?" Cui Zhangshi's face was like frost, and his eyes were as sharp as a blade, as if he was about to pierce someone.

"I beg my aunt to spare us this time, the slaves and maids will never dare again!" A bold palace maid begged for mercy with tears in her eyes while slapping herself.

"Spare you?" The lines on the corners of Cui Zhangshi's mouth were occupied by a sneer, and he said contemptuously: "It's okay, I think you are a first-time offender, so I will spare you!" ”

"Aunt Xie Cui, Aunt Xie Cui." The palace maids with red and swollen cheeks saw that there was still a glimmer of life, and they all kowtowed like chickens pecking rice.

"Then you should kneel like this for the first time, and then you can get up when I say that you can get up." Cui Zhangshi said viciously: "Since you have chosen this road, then kneel, you have to finish this road for me!" ”

The little palace maids didn't dare to make a sound, knowing that no matter what, Cui Zhangshi would not reduce the punishment, and if they argued again, they would only suffer some more torture, just hanging their heads, under the big sun, enduring the scorching sun and the torture of the uneven bricks under their knees.

Seeing that no one dared to make a sound, Cui Zhangshi did not reprimand again, but just waved his hand and instructed the remaining palace maids: "You go and do things." ”

"Yes." Li Ruxuan dragged Qiaohui and the others to do her own work in a hurry, all cautiously, for fear of saying something wrong or doing something wrong, which would make Cui Zhangshi angry.

For a while, the Huanyi Bureau regained its calm again, and the palace maids were silent, and they didn't dare to come out with a single atmosphere, but they just abided by their duties and did their part.

And the turmoil just now, if it weren't for a large group of palace maids kneeling under the scorching sun, it would have been as if it hadn't happened.

"When will such a day come to an end!" Cui Zhangshi, who returned to the bedroom, drank all the liquor in the white porcelain cup, and stared at the palace maid kneeling down through the gap in the window, his eyes full of obscurity that could not be dissolved.

The dazzling sunlight outside the window penetrated through the gap, revealing a white flower, so shaking that Cui Zhangshi couldn't even open his eyes. The irritability in her heart instantly surged into her heart, gathering the anger she had had, and immediately made her feel angry.

"Bang!"

The milky white wine cup was thrown to the ground fiercely, turning into pieces of broken porcelain, and the bright and flickering side of it made it look even more pale.

Cui Zhangshi collapsed weakly on the rattan chair and closed his eyes indifferently.
