Chapter 341: Waiting
The work of Ochabo may seem easy, but it is not easy.
Whenever the queen and the courtiers have a discussion, filling tea and pouring water, and changing the snack plate are all things that need to be watched at all times.
Moreover, green tea like Longjing can only be brewed once, so before each refill, it is necessary to make new tea. And how to master the time of changing tea is also a science.
First, you can't change it too often, after all, it is the south study, which is a place to discuss state affairs, and it is not good to interrupt it all the time. Second, you can't go for half a day without changing a glass, after all, the ministers are also dry when they argue, and they drink more tea than usual......
Today, the state affairs discussed in the study seem to be particularly tricky. The ministers discussed in the south study from the time to the time of Shen, but there was still no intention of ending.
In the imperial tea room, the silver silk and carbon alone burned the small half of the basket, but the people in the south study had no intention of coming out for half of it.
"Hey! I'm so hungry, it's dark this day, why haven't these ministers finished discussing state affairs? Xiao Tao said weakly while scooping the tea leaves.
Xiahou Ying looked up at the sky, and replied with a light smile, "It should be over soon......
As she was talking, Liu Xinlan had already walked into the imperial tea room with a few palace maids, looking at the cups and saucers on the tray in their hands, it was obvious that the discussion in the south study was finally over.
"Let's go eat first, and come back as soon as you are done, and the Holy Queen and the ministers will continue to discuss after an hour." Liu Xinlan commanded everyone.
Xiao Tao, who was about to jump for a moment when he heard the first half of the sentence, suddenly paused after hearing the second half of the sentence.
Liu Xinlan seemed to be surprised by Xiao Tao's appearance, and ignored her, just glanced at Xiahou Ying, and left the imperial tea room directly.
Even if she was unwilling, Xiao Tao had no choice but to cheer up and take Xiahou Ying back to Wutong Garden to eat first.
===========
Seeing Xiahou Ying, who had been missing all day, come back with the people in the imperial tea room, Mama Rong was happy and angry. The good thing is that this person didn't lose it, and the angry thing is that this person who scared himself away for a day actually smiled at himself very indifferently at this time!
But no matter what, Mama Rong also knew that she was just the steward of Wutong Garden, and to put it bluntly, she was serving these inner housekeepers who lived here, even if she was dissatisfied, she couldn't be angry with Xiahou Ying......
Xiahou Ying was served by Yu'er and had dinner, and directly told Yu'er to go and rest, as long as she left a door for her at night. After giving the order, he got up and went to find Xiao Tao.
Yu'er looked at Xiahou Ying who was walking away, and suddenly felt that it was actually a good thing to be able to follow such a master who had no requirements and was not pretentious.
When Xiahou Ying came to Xiao Tao's room, Xiao Tao had just finished dinner and was sitting there with a puff.
"What's wrong?" Xiahou Ying looked at Xiao Tao puzzled. She was unhappy just now because she was hungry, and now she has eaten, why is she still with this expression?
"That Mama Rong is really getting more and more excessive, although we are only the lowest-level inner housekeepers, but there are only two vegetarian dishes for dinner, not even a bowl of soup, which is too bullying!" Xiao Tao said dissatisfiedly.
"Oh? It turns out that the dinner just now was not given according to the regulations? Although Xia Houying was not surprised, she still asked.
"Naturally not! According to the regulations, we low-level inner-house people have two dishes and one soup for lunch and dinner every day, and the dishes should also be one meat and one vegetable! It must be that Mama Rong who changed our meals and used them to please others! Xiao Tao said angrily.
