Yan Chengyuan had already been invited in and was sitting in the hall. Next to her was Yan Chengze, her cheap uncle.
To be honest, his sense of existence as a cheap uncle was really weak. She had met him a few times in the past, but had never spoken to him. In her eyes, he was worse than a stranger.
Yan Chengze has a cautious character. He even speaks in a low voice. He stepped forward to salute and said: "Your Majesty, Yan Chengze, has met the Prime Minister."
Yan Shiyue gave him a hand and said, "Uncle, you don't have to be polite, just call me Yue'er." Yan Chengze breathed a sigh of relief, and she said, "Uncle, please sit down."
She stepped forward and refilled the tea with her own hands: "Dad, what are you doing?"
Yan Chengyuan said calmly: "Your uncle has something to do with you."
She looked at Yan Chengze.
Yan Chengze hesitated for a moment and said respectfully: "Prime Minister, it's like this. I heard that the Ministry of Commerce was recruiting troops, so... So I came here shamelessly. My son Yan Shilan is quite diligent, but I don't know that Prime Minister
Can you give him a chance to go to the Commercial Department to gain some experience..."
To be honest, just from what he said, we can tell that this person is not very good at human relations and sophistication, and it is inevitable that he has a "Yan" character and only became a minister when he was nearly fifty years old.
You know, you are obviously here to ask for favors. Since you are asking for favors, you have to build relationships. She called her uncle and said she could call her by name. He also called her Prime Minister and kept calling himself a lower official. Respect is respectful.
It's just not the right place to be respectful.
Yan Shiyue said: "My business department is different from other places in that it has a probation period."
"Yes, yes," Yan Chengze said: "It all depends on the Prime Minister. I just ask the Prime Minister to give me a chance."
"It's done," Yan Shiyue said, "Since the uncle has said that, I have to give him this face. You can ask him to come over and show me tomorrow. Let's make an agreement first. I am a relatively lonely person.
If it really doesn’t work, then I don’t want it.”
Yan Chengze thanked him profusely.
Yan Shiyue stayed with the two of them to eat, but Yan Chengze declined politely. Yan Shiyue took Yan Chengyuan with him, and Yan Chengyuan stayed.
After sending Yan Chengze away, she couldn't help but say: "You are such a big brother..."
Yan Chengyuan glared at her and said, "Yan Shilan is a pretty decent person."
"I know," Yan Shiyue said with a playful smile: "At least you have to be acceptable before you can bring people here, otherwise you would have scared them away with your cold face. But once this guy starts... I guess there will be a lot of people here.
Came to the door."
Yan Chengyuan said: "It's good that you can think of this."
He looked at the clock dial: "Go and see the child."
Yan Shiyue had discovered a long time ago that although Yan Chengyuan was stern, he really liked children.
He followed Meng Min over, and when Meng Min had to give him a hug, he seemed to reluctantly take it, and then held him for a long time, staring at the child's little face. The child was babbling, and you could see a faint smile on his face.
.
And sometimes together with Huo Qijing, we can see the weird communication methods between two emotionless people. The main manifestations are:
Yan Chengyuan looked at Huo Qijing and frowned, expressing his contempt for the way he held the child. Then Huo Qijing lowered his head and kissed the child's chest and neck. Sometimes the child laughed, and he looked at Yan Chengyuan, and then Yan Chengyuan made this move
If he couldn't do it, he put the child down calmly.
The exchange is over.
It looks very funny.
The next day, Yan Shilan came over, and Yan Shiyue chatted with him for a while.
Dafang's eldest cousin passed away early. This second party brother was born as a concubine. He is already in his mid-twenties this year and is still just a minor boss.
But he seems to be a pretty good person, and he does fall into the honest category, but he is not inflexible. He is much better than his father. The main reason is that he is good-looking and has deep eye sockets. When he smiles, he has a charming feeling, which overshadows him.
Stupidity.
Yan Shiyue said to him: "There are many things in the Ministry of Commerce that must be kept secret. Even if father and son are close, no exceptions can be made. Do you understand? If my uncle is planning your future, I will not blame you."
Yan Shilan said anxiously: "Yes, I understand."
"Sure," Yan Shiyue said, "Then you go find Si Nian. I mentioned it to him yesterday."
Yan Shilan bowed respectfully and left.
Sure enough, this is the beginning, but I don’t know how many people are ready to take action.
The first person who couldn't hold back his anger was Liu Zhongqing. He brought his nephew over. As soon as he entered the door, he said with a smile on his face: "In-laws."
Yan Shiyue: "..."
As a young girl, she is really just a tender and green young... woman. She doesn't like to be called that. It reminds her of an old woman with wrinkles on her face.
Then he expressed his respect and intimacy, "I heard that your commercial department is recruiting people. It would be better for a place like this to have a few trustworthy people. My nephew, if nothing else, is quite smart and has both civil and military skills."
Take it and use it, feel free to use it, we are in-laws after all, so if I can help with this kind of thing, you're welcome!
This is probably the basic way these people talk. She is the outlier.
But sometimes she is helpless, just like Liu Zhongqing, who is shrewd and shrewd, and talks about court affairs in a clear and logical manner, but when dealing with people, he sticks to a fixed way, even if you knock hard on his head,
Knock hard... He would think at the time, oh, that's how it is, but he still wouldn't change it afterwards.
It was as if he had heard many things about how fair and selfless the prime minister was, but he still insisted that we were in-laws now, and it was different from before, so we could have a relationship through the back door.
Similarly, he also insisted that, after all, she is a woman, and she still needs help from men when something happens, so if I send someone over at this time, it will be a timely help, and the prime minister will definitely be grateful.
Yan Shiyue listened to his beeping silently.
Liu Zhongqing finished his performance in a vague manner, and then waved: "Huo Li, why don't you come over and pay homage to the Prime Minister?"
That Huo Li looked really smart, and he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, Huo Li, pay my respects to the Prime Minister."
Yan Shiyue looked him over.
Huo Li looked to be in his thirties, with a respectful expression and gentle and appropriate movements. He should be a measured person.
Yan Shiyue asked: "Where are you now?"
Huo Li hurriedly replied: "Master Xiang, I am now serving as the Prime Minister of Taipu Temple."
She asked: "Why do you want to join the Ministry of Commerce?"
"To be honest, Mr. Prime Minister, I am good at arithmetic and have mastered the new accounting method taught by Mr. Gu, so I want to show off my talents in the Ministry of Commerce."
Yes, he is a smart man. Yan Shiyue said: "Go down and have a cup of tea."
A sharp salute: "Yes."
He retreated. Yan Shiyue turned around and saw Liu Zhongqing stroking his beard, with a vague complacency on his face: "I think the person I gave you is a good one!"
It's useless to say anything else to this kind of person unless you convince him in his own way.
So Yan Shiyue said: "This trend cannot last long, otherwise what will happen if Aye says I am nepotistic?"
Sure enough, Liu Zhongqing understood instantly, and instantly became conscious of himself, lowering his voice and saying: "It's just that I didn't think carefully, I should have turned a corner." (To be continued)
