Chapter 358. Select.

Next, Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing followed Zhao Junchen to the west courtyard of the Zhao family's ancestral house to help Zhao Junchen carry out the final selection.
Prior to this, Su Xiqing had prepared a spacious and clean hall as a location for Zhao Junchen's inspection and selection.
Of course, although Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan walked together, the two of them also knew in their hearts that this time was the final selection, because the matter was critical, so everything was based on Zhao Junchen's dictatorship, and Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing After the initial suggestion, it is now inconvenient to express any opinions, just to provide some suggestions when Zhao Junchen needs them.
Therefore, when Zhao Junchen's selection began, the two of them were silent, just quietly watching and letting Zhao Junchen play.
Of course, Zhao Junchen's selection methods are indeed a little different, which makes Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing both eye-opening, they are dumbfounded, but they really don't know how to interject.
In fact, Zhao Junchen's various inquiries imitated the "interview" process of later generations, and in the eyes of the ancients, this process is naturally a bit different.
*
Zhao Junchen's specific selection process is like this.
First of all, Zhao Junchen will let the women of the Zhao family enter the lobby one by one and communicate with him alone, and then carefully observe the appearance, posture, temperament, and appearance of the Zhao family woman.
Every woman of the Zhao family gets the same questions, these questions are very simple, and there are not many of them. There are only seven in total, but they are very straightforward and sharp.
"Say your name. and your relationship with the Zhao family. ”
"What do you think are your strengths? What are the disadvantages? ”
"What do you think you're good at, and what you're not good at?"
"Tell me why you want to enter the palace."
"After entering the palace. Your main task is to please Your Majesty, so how do you think you should do that? ”
"If you finally enter the palace, then what kind of benefits do you think you can bring to me and the Zhao family? Or, to put it more bluntly, why should I recommend you to the palace? ”
"It's just a hypothesis, if the candidate to enter the palace is not yours in the end, then among the others, who do you want to enter the palace the most, and who do you least want to enter the palace? What are the reasons? ”
After getting an answer. Zhao Junchen will also use pen and paper to sketch some symbols that no one can understand, which seems to represent the final achievements of the women of the Zhao family.
These questions seem simple, but in fact, they are very particular and contain profound meanings, and such direct inquiries can also examine the other party's adaptability and urgency.
*
The first three of these seven questions are essentially self-evaluations, depending on the responses. It can let Zhao Junchen understand the other party's temperament and personality characteristics, even if the content of the other party's answer is evasive, false and wrong, it can also let Zhao Junchen understand the other party's best disguised side - in fact, if he can make up a set of flawless lies in a hurry. And concealed the eyes of Zhao Junchen, Xiao Wenxuan, Su Xiqing and others, so this kind of deception can be regarded as a talent in a certain way, and Zhao Junchen will not be angry. On the contrary, I will feel happy.
Of course, after Zhao Junchen asked. Faced with the first three questions, most of the women of the Zhao family were a little overwhelmed. Obviously, they are not suitable for Zhao Junchen's straightforward questioning style, they can't answer for a long time, and even some can't react, and they still need Zhao Junchen's repeated questions to understand Zhao Junchen's accurate meaning - the women of the Zhao family who behave like this lack of urgency and adaptability, are easy to panic, and obviously can't adapt to the complex situation in the harem, so they were simply eliminated in Zhao Junchen's heart.
Only a very small number of women of the Zhao family can adapt to Zhao Junchen's inquiry style in a short period of time, and are keenly aware that this is an opportunity to self-recommend, and then they naturally avoid the important and talk eloquently, wanting to deepen Zhao Junchen's good impression of them through their own descriptions - unfortunately, some people's descriptions of themselves are too exaggerated, or they don't know how to measure inches, or they don't know how to know themselves, such people are too easy to get carried away, pampered and arrogant, and make people disgusted, and they are also not suitable for entering the harem.
In this era, a similar interview method is still the first time, all the women of the Zhao family are unprepared, so the effect is surprisingly good, just the first three questions, let Zhao Junchen see clearly the temperament of many women of the Zhao family, and secretly eliminated most of the women of the Zhao family.
In the end, there are only six or seven women in the Zhao family who can calmly answer Zhao Junchen's questions, have a clear self-understanding, and can properly show their strengths and weaknesses.
As for the next three questions, it was Zhao Junchen who tried to test the other party's scheming and rational vision.
Entering the harem, becoming a concubine, and serving the emperor, for the women of the Zhao family, such a fate is really infinite and glorious, but most of the women of the Zhao family will also be blinded by glory and style.
In short, most of the Zhao family's women's eyes are only focused on the benefits of entering the palace, but they have no long-term thinking and planning at all, such women are short-sighted, clever but not wise, easy to be used, and naturally not suitable for entering the palace to serve Emperor Deqing, otherwise it will only be more than enough to succeed.
In the face of the next three questions, the answers of the women of the Zhao family made Zhao Junchen satisfied with very few, even if the standards were lowered and the scores were full, only a few or five people's answers were qualified.
However, Zhao Junchen's last question is not aimed at the respondent himself, but wants to analyze the relationship between the women of the Zhao family through the answer to this question, and deduce the interpersonal relationships and handling methods of some women of the Zhao family that Zhao Junchen focuses on.
After all, the situation in the harem is complicated, and if you want to survive smoothly, you must be good at dealing with complex interpersonal relationships, and you also need to be tactful, otherwise you will make too many enemies and become a loner.
To sum up, after these seven questions are combined, according to the different answers, Zhao Junchen can have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of every woman of the Zhao family, and make the most correct choice on this basis.
*
When Zhao Junchen "interviewed" every woman of the Zhao family, he asked all the women of the Zhao family to go back and wait for news.
By Zhao Junchen's side, only Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan were left.
Then, Zhao Junchen glanced down at his notes, first shook his head slightly, and then said to Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan: "It seems that the recommendation of the two of you is very correct, in comparison, Zhao Yinger and Zhang Zhaodi's two daughters are indeed the most suitable candidates." ”
While speaking, Zhao Junchen secretly recalled the performance of Zhao Yinger and Zhang Zhaodi's two daughters when answering their own questions, and his eyes were thoughtful.

PS: Because of the situation, I was forced to do a job that I didn't like or was familiar with, and as a result, I was not only tired to death, but also delayed a lot of time, and finally had to be criticized and blamed inexplicably, which affected my mood for several days...... The great helplessness of life may be the word "forced to do so". (To be continued......)
