Mu Jingqiu stepped forward suspiciously and opened the test paper handed to her by Kong Shangshi, however, her doubtful eyes did not scan the test paper for long before they all turned into shock.

"It's ......"

"This is Lu Chengxuan's first two compulsory assessment papers, and the results of the later selection exams, you are personally assessed, and you can't find out the mistakes of half a point, so I don't need to introduce them to you." Kong Shang took Mu Sishan's words in his chest, and looked at her with a little deep meaning, "Now, you should understand why I want to promote her against public opinion!" ”

"Although Wang Qiushui has been doing food for many years and has experience, but after all, she is too greedy, and she relies on the old and sells the old, and she doesn't have much achievements and deeds, if there is no person as good as Lu Chengxuan, I will put up with her, but since there is, why don't we use it?"

Kong Shangshi's words kept lingering in his mind, but what shocked Mu Sishan even more was the test paper that Kong Shangshi handed in front of him.

The above is Lu Chengxuan's answer.

Aside from the majestic font, Lu Chengxuan's various answers are also stunning and eye-catching.

Putting aside other ordinary topics for the time being, just the next few finale questions were enough to shock Mu Sishan.

Female officers and people.

What is a female officer, what is a person?

How to be a good female official in this way.

These two seemingly simple questions, but the most difficult to answer, complement each other.

In everyone's opinion, the last two finale questions should require a very brilliant and ingenious answer to be worthy, so ...... Since the establishment of the Liushang Bureau assessment for so many years, countless reference women have racked their brains to search for answers, wanting to find a novel and powerful answer.

But now......

Lu Chengxuan's answer.

But there are only three words, which is unexpected and even more shocking.

Her answers, respectively, are female officials and people.

Three-word question, three-word answer.

Same question, same answer.

A female officer is a female official, and a person is a human being.

There are not too many twists and turns in the middle, just a few simple words.

When I was a female official, I was bent on how to do my part and do my duty, and when I was born, I was bent on how to be a good person, do right, sit up straight, and raise my head worthy of heaven and earth.

The answer of a female officer is only a female officer, and the answer of a human being is only to be a human being.

Many female histories and palace maids will think about this question in a complicated way, and will use a long speech to express their understanding of the two questions, and they are afraid that they will lose points due to their inconsiderate answers and lack of answers.

She may not think as much as the women's history she refers to, she just wants to be simple, or very casual and relaxed, asking two questions, but in the eyes of others, there will be a thousand different understandings.

The answer is also from the heart.

The Liushang Bureau is to better serve the concubines and the emperor in the palace, and the role of female officials is also here, female officials and people are inseparable from each other, first of all, people must be a good person, and the official can be a good official, and do his best to do his own thing, but only to do his own thing.

If you think of everything simply, sometimes it's easier to live.

If you want to look at things complicated, you will only use this mood to spy on other people's minds, you will feel that people's hearts are sinister, and you have to guard against it, everyone is like this, which will cause the current Liushang Bureau and the harem in the deceit, if everyone can do their part well, there will not be so many twists and turns and calculations.

This was the original intention of the female official when the Liushang Bureau first met.

Otherwise, the battle in the harem is already very fierce, who can be idle and have nothing to do, and create a special Liushang Bureau to give those who have no place to fight a place to play?

Mu Sishan stood in place, unable to let go for a long time.

Kong Shangshi took another sip of fresh tea, and the smile on the corner of Kong Shangshi's lips deepened, "This answer, we have seen it in the female officials who have participated in the assessment, and it is in the file of the Great Saturday Shang Bureau, but for so many years, no one has dared to divulge the question, you know this." ”

The previous compulsory questions are asked by different female officials every year, and there is a certain degree of confidentiality, it is difficult for others to know the answer, once discovered, it is a major crime involving the family, but only the last two questions are tested every year, and the female officers who have been tested are clear about the real answer in their hearts, but no one dares to say it...... Dare to spread the word......

Just because.

These two answers are too short, too crude, too shocking.

Often, the simpler the answer, the harder it is to cheat.

Unlike other tirades, as long as you find the key point, you can replace it with other words, and the meaning will always be close to each other, but if the answer is just a few words, it can't be replaced by other words, even if you give the test Zi this answer, let the test use other words to forcibly explain, it is also mixed with their own views and opinions, it is better to answer directly, but there is no restraint.

Those who can answer in this way must be what they think in their hearts.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was established for a hundred years, except for the female official who founded the Liushang Bureau at the beginning, only Lu Chengxuan dared to answer like this.

Bold, more ...... Among them, there is the backbone of being an official.

Such a person is also the person that the Six Shang Bureau lacks.

As if it was born to exist for the existence of female officials,

"In addition to the answers to these two questions, the first two compulsory exams, and even the selection results of the dining room, Lu Chengxuan is outstanding." Kong Shangshi said it word by word, and the shock formed in Mu Jingqiu's heart became deeper and deeper, "Jingqiu, sometimes you can't just look at things on the surface, people are the same, what you listen to outside, you can't get along with yourself when you come back." ”

"Everything needs to be done on your own, with your eyes, with your heart, repeatedly observed, and then you can make up your mind in your heart."

"Lu Chengxuan is outstanding, and her ability to sit on the position of a pawn has nothing to do with others."

Mu Sishan wanted to speak and stopped, but Kong Shangshi preemptively said, "Even if there is no Concubine Lu, the position of Dianshan will sooner or later become something in her pocket, or even ...... It's not just the meal, I believe that his achievements will not be lost to you and me, and the dining room will also stand out in the Liushang Bureau in her hands, which is also our hope for many years, isn't it?! ”

Kong Shangshi and Mu Sishan are elderly people after all, and it is impossible for people to be dissatisfied with the old age.

The Six Shang Bureaus are respected by Lu Yanhua, and even the Shang Palace Bureau has become the first, and the other Shang Palaces can only be subordinate, Kong Shangshi has always wanted the Shang Food Bureau to stand out, but it's a pity that ...... With the queen and Lu Yanhua pressing on it, this idea will become a luxury, but now it is different.

If Lu Chengxuan can break through the world in the future, then even the Shangshi Bureau will rise with the tide.

Compared with the deceit of the harem, Kong Shangshi hopes to see the glory and dazzling Shangshi Bureau that he has spent most of his life working on.

Mu Sishan swallowed back what he was about to speak, silently put Lu Chengxuan's test paper in his hand back to its original position, and lowered his head silently.

Kong Shangshi smiled and said nothing, looking at the mellow tea in the teacup in his hand and sighed, "No wonder the adult who founded the Liushang Bureau likes to taste tea, and now it seems that it is not so simple and easy to brew a good craft, in addition to being proficient in the action process, you also need to calm down and calm down, Jingqiu, you still need to learn and learn." ”

"Yes, Lord Shangshi's lesson."

"Jingqiu has been taught."

Mu Jingqiu bowed, and when she arrived in front of Kong Shangshi, she drank all the tea she had poured in advance, "It is indeed good tea." ”

"Xia Guan has other things to do, so he won't disturb Lord Shangshi."

Kong Shangshi pursed his lips, turned around and took out a booklet from behind him and shook his head hurriedly, "Jingqiu, wait." ”

"This is the name of the dish, seeing that the birthday of the concubine is coming, four princes have been added this year, but it should be grander and prepare early."

Lu Chengyin was already favored, and now that the four princes are present, it should be more grand for the sake of the prince's face, after all, there are not many concubines in the palace, except for the queen mother with the second prince and the third prince, only the concubine is left.

Moreover, this year's steward of the dining room is Lu Chengxuan, a newcomer, and there are some places that need to be taught by Mu Jingqiu.

"Lord Shangshi, rest assured, the lower officials will not come to the errand with personal emotions, and will definitely put the interests of the dining room and the Shangshi Food Bureau first." Mu Jingqiu bowed again, but this time Kong Shuyang nodded and waved his hand with satisfaction, "Go ahead." ”

When she went out, Mu Jingqiu's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and she was still immersed in the shock of Lu Chengxuan's answer sheet and couldn't extricate herself, and her mind was also a mess.

Once, she also thought about the answers to those two questions, so she answered them directly, but the teacher who taught her back then directly denied her, saying that acting like that was too exaggerated and proud, and it was not suitable to live in a place like the palace where there was a conspiracy and conspiracy, and she listened to the teacher's teachings, so as soon as she entered the palace, she started from the female history.

And Lu Chengxuan ......

The person who can write this kind of answer, in addition to being resourceful, also has courage and strategy.

Ordinary people, even if they know the answer, do not dare to take this risk.

walked aimlessly all the way, and I don't know how long it took to return to my door, but I suddenly found that Lu Chengxuan was standing quietly in front of the door, waiting for his return.

After Kong Shangshi's persuasion, Mu Jingqiu's impression of Lu Chengxuan in her heart has changed a lot, but she has always been cold-faced these days, and she can't change it for a while, "What's the matter?" ”

Mu Sishan said lightly.

Lu Chengxuan didn't have a strange expression because of Mu Sishan's indifference and detachment, but just smiled, "I don't know if Lord Si Shan is free, Cheng Xuan has something to ask Master Si Shan for advice." ”

"I heard that Concubine Lu Guifei's birthday is imminent, and there are many things to deal with in the dining room, because there are four princes this year, and some dishes need to be added or removed from the table as appropriate.

Mu Jingqiu frowned slightly, but did not refuse, "Yes." ”

Lu Chengxuan was overjoyed in her heart, and made a gesture of invitation, "Then please Mu Sishan and move to Cheng Xuan's room, the menu and the prepared menu are in the room." ”

Mu Jingqiu didn't say much, and took the lead in the front.

Kong Shangshi was still praising Lu Chengxuan for being extraordinary, mentioning Lu Guifei's birthday, Lu Chengxuan came to her to discuss, thinking that she was indeed a serious and careful person, and very capable of doing things, Mu Jingqiu also surprisingly cooperated with Lu Chengxuan's request, all the way to the inner room, picked up the list booklet prepared by Lu Chengxuan in advance, and checked them one by one.

"Sishan-sama, I wonder if you've had dinner?"

Lu Chengxuan opened his mouth tentatively, "If not, how about going with the ministers and maids?" Then let the servants help you make a pot of hot tea, after all, it will take a while to sort out these booklets. ”

"Okay, let's go."

Mu Jingqiu flipped through the menu book in his hand and nodded.

Seeing that Mu Jingqiu looked serious and didn't say much, Lu Chengxuan immediately went to the dining room and informed Aunt Li to act according to the plan, and the dishes were quickly served, but what was placed was in the outer room, while Lu Chengxuan and Mu Sishan were seriously discussing in the inner room.

"Lord Sishan, these dishes are the menus prepared by the concubines of each palace in previous years, and this year, the subordinates inquired about the preferences of the concubine Niangniang, and asked the four princes about the dishes that can be eaten.

Even if the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, it is an indisputable fact that Lu Chengyin's birthday is imminent, and when he is cleaning up the pickled things in the dining room, Lu Chengxuan is also doing things seriously.

Gao Li has been on the throne for four years, and the concubines in the palace have been rewarded only in the past four years, and the concubines of other dynasties in the past are not counted, Lu Chengxuan has checked the proper honor guards of all the concubines, and focused on inquiring about the tastes and preferences of all the concubines, it should be impossible to find faults, but when she first took office, she avoided any arrogance, or no one dared to say it on the surface, or it was the most appropriate to find Mu Jingqiu to check it.

Mu Jingqiu is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, just a small menu can see Lu Chengxuan's careful intentions, that is, others are pleasing to the eye, and the same dishes are accurate and proper, which makes Mu Jingqiu very satisfied.

"Here, this dragon and phoenix pot."

"Although Lu Guifei likes it very much, after all, the concubine is the third lady, and there is the queen's mother above her, Feng is the queen's special use, and it is used in the concubine's birthday banquet, I am afraid that it will cause the queen's dissatisfaction at that time, so it will be changed to mandarin duck pot, and there are several other dishes The same is true."

"In addition, the queen's mother has a light taste, and the dishes on the table should be made according to the light, but she can't lose the festivity, Guo Xiuyi's taste is heavier, no spicy or happy, her banquet needs more spicy......"
