Chapter 316: Liwei

In the following three or two days, Jiang Yu went up and down as usual, but he never stepped into Gan Peilin's door.

Gan Peilin was also very cooperative and never went to his yard to disturb.

The two of them understood each other's intentions. But the people around him were not scared, and they were all anxious.

Despite this, Gan Peilin did not stop arranging beauties for Jiang Yu to be sent to the house.

I don't know if it's because of spring, those girls who have just entered the house are at a young age, and they all look at the delicate flowers stuffed with fresh and tender flowers. Even Gan Peilin saw it himself, and he felt that the spring was very good.

But Jiang Yu's side was always serving only Cuiyun.

Xinghua was turned away several times in a row, but Ao Li never set foot in that courtyard.

The direction of the wind in the house suddenly fell to Cuiyun, who had just been promoted to be his aunt's wife. This subtle change made the swallow particularly unhappy.

"What is this? Do you dare to send such a thing to Madame's yard? I see you're getting impatient! ”

Gan Peilin had just finished freshening up, when he heard the swallow losing his temper outside the door, he couldn't help but be curious, so he walked out with a crispy hand.

The two little guys trembled with fright, and knelt down with their hands on the ground, their heads hanging very low.

Two trays in front of him, on which are two cans of tea.

"What's wrong?" Gan Peilin couldn't help frowning.

"Madame came just in time." Swallow raised her eyebrows: "Who doesn't know your favorite tea." Don't say anything else, let's talk about this dragon well. Naturally, it is the best picked before the Ming Dynasty, and the leaves are green and translucent, and the luster is uniform. Now is the right time to pick. But you see, this is clearly the Longjing that was picked after Qingming. This bud tea is also, one heart and one leaf is the top quality, and it is picked in early spring. But what was sent was actually a heart and two leaves, and the slave and maid wondered, what did the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion want, but the housewife didn't use the best things, and it was secondary. ”

"Madame is angry, these are purchased by heart, and the minions are also sent as ordered, I really don't dare to take defective products to Madame." The two little guys trembled slightly with fright.

"Then tell me, who asked you to send it?" Swallow asked reluctantly.

"This ......" The two little servants glanced at each other, and one of them lowered his eyebrows and said, "The minions just take and present it as usual, and they don't know who has touched this thing or what." ”

"Well, you don't know. I'm going to ask the second aunt and wife. The swallow saluted to Gan Peilin: "Madame, later, if the second product is used by everyone in the mansion, it will be fine." If there is anything better than this in the whole house, but it is not delivered, then the slave and maid will skin them. ”

Gan Peilin was about to call the swallow, but was stopped by Liulan.

"Madam, this is a bird's nest that has just been boiled, you can taste it." Liulan came over with a bird's nest and deliberately blocked in front of Gan Peilin. After Yanzi left, she hooked her lips slightly: "Miss, you just let her go." Always look like a housewife. Otherwise, these people in the house ...... And when you're a cat. ”

Speaking of cats, Gan Peilin asked Liulan to bring the little cutie over, and said with a smile: "Whether it's a cat or not, what does it matter." But there is always a process to be done. ”

Here, Yanzi went directly to find Ao Li.

At this time, Ao Li was counting the inventory in the warehouse. "The seasons are all ready, and you can ask your wife to come and choose them later. By the way, Shiso, you can ask the tailor to come over later, and measure the lady first. ”

"Yes, auntie." Shisu agreed, and saw the swallow come in with a bad face, and his heart was pinched. "What's wrong with Miss Swallow?"

Yanzi saluted Ao Li with a smile: "Madame handed over the affairs of the house to the second aunt and Mrs. to take care of it, don't I even have the right to come to the treasury?" ”

Zi Su hurriedly shook her head: "Miss Swallow misunderstood, the slave didn't mean that." ”

"I don't have time to chew on your tongue." Yanzi staggered Zisu's shoulders, walked up to Ao Li and asked with a stiff face: "Is it for the sake of the thrift of the whole house, that Mrs. sent the Longjing after the rain and the bud tea with two hearts and leaves to Mrs. ”

"How so?" Ao Li couldn't help but be stunned: "In the room of the husband and wife, all the gifts are the dragon wells before the Ming Dynasty, and the bud tea with one heart and one leaf." The second tea was delivered to me and my third aunt's room. The rest of the ladies enjoyed it even less. But it's better than the outside. ”

Saying this, Ao Li still felt a little strange: "Miss Swallow is saying that the lady sent the second product?" How could this be? Every time something was prepared for the lady, it was sent by someone in the treasury. Where do those two little guys dare to play such a cat, who doesn't know that Mrs. is famous and well-informed. How dare you move such crooked thoughts. ”

Yanzi's tone was very bad, and he didn't quite believe Ao Li's words: "If it weren't for that, how could the slave and maid come to ask Mrs. Aunt?" Could it be that Mrs. Cheng thinks that the slave has nothing to do? ”

"That's not what I mean, of course." Ao Li smiled and said, "Maybe the minions took it wrong." It just so happened that the tea was stored next door, and the ladies didn't bother to send it, so I went to check one or two. ”

"Okay." Yanzi nodded: "I'll go with my aunt and wife." ”

Ao Li hurriedly led the swallow to the next door to check.

With a table full of tea leaves, Ao Li looked carefully at the jar containing the tea leaves, and was suspicious. "What's going on?"

"What do you mean, aunt?" Swallow didn't quite understand.

"Because the tea of the husband and wife is first-class, the mouth of the tea can is tied with a gold ribbon. The aunt used a second-class product, so she tied a silver ribbon. The rest of the ladies used the usual ribbons. You can tell at a glance. ”

When the swallow thought about it, the teapot he saw was indeed tied with a gold ribbon. "The ribbon is right, the jar is right, but the contents are different. This is obviously a deliberate attempt by someone to drop the bag. ”

"Shiso, you go." Ao Li nodded at her.

Shisu hurriedly ordered someone to retrieve the tea jar that had just been sent.

During this period, Yanzi deliberately opened a few cans of tea and did not find any high-quality products.

"This is the tea that was sent to our second aunt's room, please take a look at the swallow girl." Shisu smiled when she talked to her, looking a little cautious.

The swallow opened the jar with his hand, and it was indeed the same as the one sent to the lady's room, which was secondary.

"Someone may have accidentally taken the wrong one." Ao Li raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise, I'll ask someone else." ”

The swallow didn't say a word, put down the tea can, turned around and left.

When Ao Li saw her leaving, she couldn't help but sigh: "Okay, how could you be mistaken." Shiso, didn't you check it before you sent the tea to your wife? ”

Shisu shook his head slightly: "The slave maid has been checked." The golden ribbon was also untied, and the slave and maid tied it with their own hands. There was nothing wrong with it at the time. ”

"That's weird." Ao Li was a little puzzled: "Who will do tricks on the tea leaves and cause trouble in vain." ”

Seeing that there was no one else around, Zi Su smiled lightly: "The slave maid thinks that there is another possibility in this matter." ”

"Tell me about it." Ao Li couldn't help but be interested.

"Recently, the master has been particularly partial to the third aunt and wife." Zi Su lowered his voice and said, "Do you say that Madame is looking for an excuse to attack her?" After all, your tea leaves are still the way they should be. But what if the tea leaves of the third aunt are the ones that the lady enjoys? ”

"That's a storm." Ao Li sighed and said: "The mansion finally ushered in spring, and this storm is impatient. After this turmoil, I don't know how many delicate flowers are going to wither. ”

Shisu snorted: "Let's not worry about this." After all, it is the target of the public, who suffers. Waiting for them to lose both sides of the fight, so that the old man is annoyed, Miss, you just sit on the fisherman's advantage. ”

"I hope so." Ao Li pursed her lips: "Don't say it, let's continue to count the inventory." ”

This time, the swallow has already arrived in the Cuiyun room.

Last night, Cuiyun accompanied Ao Su to watch singing and dancing, tasting wine, and slept late. It's not up yet.

The swallow went straight into her courtyard, saying that she had come to ask for peace, but despite the obstacles of the maids, she went straight into the inner room.

"The third aunt hasn't gotten up yet?" Through the curtain, the swallow's tone was a little cold.

"Who?" Cuiyun was startled by her and quickly sat up.

"Slave Swallow."

A busy servant opened the curtain and tied it on both sides of the bed.

"So early? Do you have something? Cuiyun rubbed her eyes and looked at her in surprise.

"I got up early and sent two cans of tea to the warehouse, but I sent the wrong one, and the slave came over to take a look, so that I could exchange it for my aunt and wife." Swallow said innocentially.

"It's just two cans of tea, it's wrong to send it wrong." Cuiyun didn't turn the corner for a while, but when she looked at the swallow's eyes that were quite meaningful, she couldn't help but wonder: "This kind of thing, why do you bother to come over?" ”

"I'd better look at the tea leaves first." The swallow looked at her quietly.

"Inz." Cuiyun was helpless and could only nod.

Because of Zi turned around, he went to fetch two cans of tea leaves, and brought them to the swallows.

"That's right." While uncovering the silver ribbon, Yanzi said casually: "The slave remembers that the third aunt and lady first served the master, and she started by serving tea. I heard that the third aunt and Mrs. Taiwei were young, so Mrs. Taiwei asked people to carefully teach the tea ceremony, and it took seven or eight years to learn it? ”

"yes." Cuiyun nodded: "Thanks to the cultivation of Mrs. Taiwei, I have today." ”

Yanzi didn't want to say this, she had seen two jars of tea, and she already knew it. "So my aunt is very familiar with tea, and it can also be said that she has studied it a lot."

Cuiyun naturally nodded: "Yes, after all, I have been studying tea ceremony for seven or eight years." ”

"So, you think your tea is not good enough, it is secondary, so you take it upon yourself and change your wife?" The swallow's eyes lit up, and his face became stern. "The master has only let you serve by your side for a few days, and the third aunt and wife have even forgotten the dignity and humility in the house? Changing the tea leaves of the housewife without authorization and transgressing the identity, I'm afraid this is not a trivial matter, right? ”

"What are you talking about?" The swallow was confused.

"If you get the stolen goods, don't bother with quibbling with the third aunt and wife." Yanzi said coldly: "Come on, twist the third aunt and wife to the lady's yard, and explain this matter to the lady in person!" ”
