Chapter 12 Just because she wore a faded dress
Chu Feifei bowed her head and knelt at the end, complaining in her heart about this eldest young master, if he hadn't stopped her just now, she would have gone out, and she wouldn't have knelt on this kneel.
But those who have come through from modern times, no matter how well they know in their hearts and how much psychological construction they have done in advance, are always a little resistant to this kneeling.
The room was silent, only the movement of the masters drinking tea.
Xia Shaoyuan tasted and tasted, smelled and smelled, sighed and sighed, and only then did he seem to notice the slave kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help sneering: "You lawless dogs, how do you usually fool the old lady, this holy tribute, my father gave it to the old lady as soon as he got it, and he was not willing to taste it, but now the old lady said that it was the first time she smelled the fragrance of tea, and I asked you, how do you usually serve!" ”
Xia Shaoyuan was originally a temperamental and elegant reader, the legend of the three-year-old can sing, seven-year-old can poetry the kind of young genius, seventeen-year-old after the flower, then entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor, and now it is the history of the Hanlin Academy, the youngest bachelor, want to be promoted to a university scholar in the future, it is also just around the corner.
As a scholar, Xia Shaoyuan is indispensable for some roundabouts, such as this love of tea is one of them, as long as this Tianyou Dynasty is a good tea he can find, he has to taste it, taste it, and record it specifically, saying that he wants to write a book of tea tasting notes.
The maids in Mingyuan knew that their masters had a hobby in this area, so they naturally worked making tea, so in contrast, the maids on the old lady's side were in the tea ceremony, which was not a little worse.
But fortunately, the young master is busy with official business, and he usually comes to the old lady, that is, he retires when he asks for a peace, and he doesn't even have time to drink tea.
Xia Shaoyuan's reprimand, everyone bowed their heads and said yes, not daring to defend at all. But she couldn't stop complaining about Chu Feifei in her heart, if she hadn't suddenly made an amazing tea, how could they have been reprimanded by the eldest prince.
Chu Feifei's rock tea today is really impressive, not only the color is bright, the tea fragrance is overflowing, and even the temperature of the entrance is just right. Even the old lady couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and pointed to Chu Feifei, who was kneeling at the end, and said, "That little girl is very raw, and she is also from our Ruiyuan?" ”
Mama Cai, who was brought by the old lady on the side, hurriedly replied: "This is the little girl who came in last month, her name is Lan'er, Xinming's background, this tea can enter the eyes of the old lady, it is her blessing." ”
The old lady nodded slightly: "It turned out to be Xinming's body, no wonder there is such a craft." ”
The maid taught by Xinmingshen is on the big stage, this is the consensus in the aristocratic circle, and now that Chu Feifei is from Xinmingshen, it is not surprising that Chu Feifei can make this rock tea.
Originally, this matter passed like this, the old lady didn't mention the punishment, Xia Shaoyuan naturally couldn't punish the old lady's subordinates in a way that was overstepping.
When everyone was secretly relieved, Xia Shaoyuan suddenly said, "Lan'er? This name is not good, it doesn't tarnish your ability to make tea. ”
Chu Feifei said in his heart, what does my name have to do with my ability to make tea, besides, Lan Xinhui, why is this name not good?
Xia Shaoyuan's stupidity came up again at this time, his eyes glanced at Chu Feifei, his eyes fell on her scarlet skirt that had been washed and faded, and he nodded slightly and said, "Look at the color of your skirt is also special, let's call it Feifei." ”
Chu Feifei was slightly stunned, isn't this just the same as her real name? Could it be that the director of the orphanage named her because she was wearing a faded dress?
Chu Feifei muttered in his heart, and he had to make a grateful look on his face: "Thank you for the name." ”
The old lady said above: "Shaoyuan, since this little girl can make tea, and you named her again, it is fate to think about it, so it is better to make a tea girl for you." ”
As soon as the old lady's voice fell, Chu Feifei immediately felt several knife-like eyes stabbing at her.
Chu Feifei could only bury his head deeply, and he just secretly complained in his heart, the Ming Garden of the eldest young master? Not long after she came, she had already heard the legends about the Ming Garden.
No matter how suave and talented Xia Xiangguo's eldest son is legendary, the jade tree is in the wind, and it can't change the bizarre fate of the maids in Mingyuan.
In the eyes of the servants and maids, those maids in Mingyuan who were sold or killed because they made mistakes were all to blame, and it was better to die, and they could make a vacant seat.
But Chu Feifei saw a hint of unusual taste, in the past two years, there were as many as five maids in Mingyuan who were beaten and sold because of mistakes, and they were all maids who were served by Xia Shaoyuan closely, and they were good-looking. It seems that whoever gets Xia Shaoyuan's blue eyes will not end well
Before seeing Xia Shaoyuan, Chu Feifei had already given Mingyuan a big cross, as long as it was an errand related to Mingyuan, she would definitely hide far away, in fact, it was not her turn to do that errand. Because I was able to go to Mingyuan and show my face in front of the eldest son, in the eyes of those big girls, it was a good errand that I couldn't ask for.
At this time, when Chu Feifei heard that the old lady was going to assign herself to Mingyuan, her heart was immediately anxious, and her heart turned around with thoughts, how could she push this assignment without revealing a trace.
Xia Shaoyuan was also stunned when he heard the old lady say this, and felt that something was slightly inappropriate, but he really liked Chu Fei's tea making skills, and he was hesitating whether to refuse.
Chu Feifei saw that Xia Shaoyuan was silent, and he was also anxious, so he knelt down and took two steps and said, "Old lady, the slave maid has something to say." ”
The clear and crisp voice made everyone in the room look up.
I saw the little girl wearing a third-class maid's costume, kneeling straight by the door, although her head was hanging, but her whole body was full of persistence.
The old lady frowned slightly, a third-class maid, in the upper room of this master, there is indeed no reason for her to speak, but for the sake of her merit in making tea, she will allow it.
The old lady said lightly: "Say it." ”
Chu Feifei leaned over and bowed, and then said: "The old lady atoned for her sins, and the slave and maid really cared about the old lady's well-being, so she disregarded the rules and rashly spoke." ”
The old lady smiled slightly: "You have a heart to say this, let's say, what's wrong with my old bones?" ”
Chu Feifei hung his head and said: "Back to the old lady, the rock tea that the slave maid is on today is a very rare white rock tea, which has the effect of brightening the eyes and thinking, prolonging life, and strengthening the stomach and eliminating appetite, which is suitable for the old lady's daily use."
The reason why this rock tea is scarce is because one rock and one tea, the same variety, often there is only one plant in the world, and the brewing techniques and times of different rock tea are also different, and the slave maid has no other skills, that is, he happens to serve this rock tea.
Therefore, the slave maid felt that the sisters of the eldest prince's Mingyuan were all ingenious, and there was really no shortage of clumsy slaves and maids, but the slaves and maids stayed in the old lady's medicinal kitchen, but they could better serve the old lady. ”
Chu Feifei first talked about the benefits of rock tea to the old lady, and then said that rock tea is difficult to serve, only she will, and finally showed her filial piety to serve the old lady. Although these words are well-reasoned, well-founded, and unhurried, the meaning of refusing to go to Mingyuan is clear.
Xia Shaoyuan, who was bowing his head and tasting tea, couldn't help but gesture slightly
