The housekeeper's aunt nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you." ”

The housekeeper's aunt gave Umalu a look, and Umalu walked to the front and said softly, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

After the two saw each other, they said goodbye to the aunt in charge one by one, and then left.

The aunt in charge turned to leave, walked a long way, looked back, looked at the majestic palace, and in a trance, there was always an illusion that Umalu had been sent into the abyss by her own hands.

But she felt that this was fate.

Fate, fate.

If it weren't for his life, he hadn't asked for a tea palace maid for a long time, so why would he ask for it again this year.

Perhaps, this is the fate of the people.

When it happened, we were at a loss, and long after the incident, we suddenly turned back and found that every step was controlled by fate and never broke free.

The housekeeper's aunt sighed softly, rolled up her sleeves, and looked back to leave.

In this palace, you can only take care of yourself, how can you take care of others.

When they arrived at the side hall, the little eunuch said, "My surname is Meng." ”

Umalu saluted: "Gonggong Meng." ”

Xiao Meng's father-in-law nodded and led her into the tea house.

The tea house is a room in the side hall, and under the eaves sits a large water tank, covered with thick wooden boards. Entering, it is the main hall with two side rooms, and when I walked in, a quiet fragrance of tea came to my face.

There is a large cabinet in the room, which is very eye-catching, and it is full of bottles and jars, white porcelain, green bottles, red powder pottery, and so on. Each jar is filled with tea leaves, and there is also red paper pasted on the outside with the name of the tea leaves written on it.

In addition, there are four small teapots simmering on the stove.

The rest of the place is cleaned up and tidy.

After the two of them walked in, Gonggong Meng had planned to introduce the palace maids who served tea to her, but who knew that only one person was there.

Xiao Meng's father-in-law saluted, only then did he put his five fingers in parallel, turned his side slightly, pointed to a gentle woman and said, "This is Aunt Dai Jia, you are here, if you don't understand anything, just ask her." ”

"Yes." Umalu saluted Aunt Dai Jia, "I've seen my aunt. ”

Aunt Dai Jia waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, get up." ”

She said to Xiao Meng Gong: "You are busy with your going, what is this, I will teach her to be." ”

"Okay."

Father-in-law Meng left.

Aunt Dai Jia beckoned her to sit down and said a few gossips, such as, what is your name, where are you from, and who else is in the family.

Umalus answered them one by one.

Aunt Dai Jia smiled: "You are a sincere child. ”

Aunt Dai Jia poured her a cup of tea: "Thanks to the blessing of Long Live Lord, we can also drink good tea from all over the country." ”

Seeing that Umalu was still obedient and restrained, she brought a little reassurance, and said: "As tea maids, we must learn to taste tea and taste it, so as not to be fooled." The old tea that is replaced is often tacitly allowed for our own use. You can rest assured. ”

Umalu nodded, with a little smile: "It's not common for me to drink these teas at home, and I'm not very dexterous, so I have to worry about Aunt Lao." ”

Aunt Dai Jia likes people like her who are honest and don't cause trouble, and nodded: "It's like this when I first came, it's good to stay longer." ”

Aunt Dai Jia said: "You don't have to worry, we generally don't see Banzai Ye, and they all serve tea by Gonggong Meng, we just need to do our part." ”

She said: "This is a quiet job, and generally outside matters don't involve us." ”

She smiled, "It's safer than outside." ”

Speaking of this, her expression became serious, and she said, "But let's remember that we are the servants of the Long Live Lord, and we can't be outsiders." As long as you know this, in this palace, there is almost no risk. ”

"Yes, I remember, thank you aunt for teaching." Umaru is always honest.

Aunt Dai Jia smiled and didn't say anything about her.

Aunt Dai Jia has been in the palace for many years, and she is the one who serves the emperor, although she is only a first-class tea maid from the seventh grade, but it can be said that the palace maid who has just entered the palace calls her an aunt, and the female official who has a position calls her an aunt, and she can stand it.

She said: "Okay, don't talk about this, I'll tell you about the things here first, and let the other two teach you when the time comes, and you can get along well." I'm not here, so you can help each other. ”

"Is my aunt leaving?" Umalus asked.

A slight light appeared in Aunt Dai Jia's eyes, which were hopeful eyes.

She said of the past: "Before I entered the palace, I promised a family, and I met that brother when we were young and liked each other. He also answered me and waited for me to leave the palace. ”

She smiled: "Over the years, we have exchanged letters, he asked for grace from the Lord Banzai, and the Lord Banzai also agreed, and after a while, I will be out of the palace, and he is very happy." ”

She mentioned her sweetheart, her eyes were full of tenderness, and she was so genuinely happy, as if she was on a good day with her sweetheart.

She looked at Umalu and said with a smile: "Long live the three feudal lords, that brother got military merit because of this, and asked to marry me." ”

She pursed her lips and smiled: "That's why I asked you to come this year." ”

She explained to Umalu: "There have always been three maids in the tea house, and unless there is a vacancy, they will never ask for people. ”

Umalus listened with a smile.

Aunt Dai Jia stopped talking about it and continued to talk about the tea house.

Aunt Dai Jia said: "I will be out of the palace at the end of September this year, before that, if you have anything that you won't do, just ask me." ”

She said slowly: "Of course, it's good for you to ask the other two." ”

Aunt Dai Jia stood up, pointed to the tea jar on the large wooden cabinet and said, "Let's not only remember the tea that Banzai Ye likes to drink, but also remember the tea that Prince Baylor and ministers love to drink. ”

Aunt Dai Jia said: "It's still the same sentence, we just need to prepare tea, and when Xiao Meng's father-in-law comes to serve tea, he can take it away at any time." ”

"But don't worry, if the Lord of Long Live summons someone, Xiao Meng's father-in-law will inform them in advance, so as not to be in a hurry."

Aunt Dai Jia reminded with a half-warning warning: "Our long-lived lord is very assertive in his heart, and he can't see those women who are full of scheming and want to climb into bed." Doing your job well is the right thing to do. Don't invite trouble. ”

In the face of such repeated reminders, Umalu only showed an extremely deferential appearance: "Yes." ”

Umalu didn't feel that she was contemptuous, she had always lived a sober life.

If she wants to protect herself in this palace, it is naturally better to be cautious, she can do things by the emperor's side, but she doesn't have to be a member of the emperor and concubines.

You don't see, in the palace fight, there are a few women who can grow old safely.

Peace is a blessing.

Aunt Dai Jia likes people who know how to advance and retreat, and when she saw her like this, she said a few more words: "I have a notebook there, remembering the preferences of the princes and ministers of Baylor, I will give it to you in a while, and you can memorize it when you have time." ”
