"Come on, go to the treasury and get some more tea and give it to Mrs. Yue."

With a wave of his hand, the king was also very generous.

Seeing this, Hotaru Yue was overjoyed in her heart, but she did a lot of work on her face, and said busily: "How can this be done?" I'm afraid I can't afford to drink such good tea, so I'd better use it when Master Wang stays to entertain guests. ”

Steward Wang, who was beside him, saw Wang Ye's appearance and wanted to speak several times, but he was interrupted, and his face showed urgency.

Here, Wang Ye was still talking to Yingyue and complimentingly: "It's just a few cans of tea, it's not a good thing, Mrs. Yue will give it to Mrs. Yue if she likes it, if you need anything else in the future, you can come to Wang." ”

"Okay."

Ignoring Wang Ye's innocent gaze, Hotaru lowered her head, thinking that something was not right, how do you think that this Wang Ye looks like he is rich, not to make tea, but to make his own posture?

On the other side, Chunlan, who pretended to be going to the thatched house, turned her feet and ran to the inner courtyard of the back house after avoiding the sight of the rest of the palace.

Along the way, she was terrified, afraid of meeting someone.

Thinking so, it happened that the mothers-in-law of the palace in front of her were walking towards her together.

She looked around nervously, bit her lip, and hid behind the bushes.

"You say, what's wrong with Mrs. Fang this time?"

Behind the bushes, Chunlan was so nervous that her little heart was about to jump out.

When the mother-in-law passed by her hiding place, she didn't notice it because it was very hidden, and she didn't discuss it with much precaution, and her voice was not reduced, which also made it convenient for Chunlan to eavesdrop.

Hearing that there was something about Mrs. Fang, Chunlan hurriedly pricked up her ears and eavesdropped.

The other woman shook her head and said, "Who knows." ”

But it's a pity that the two mothers-in-law soon changed the topic and didn't pay more attention to Mrs. Fang, Chunlan sighed with some pity.

When they were far away, they stepped out from behind the bushes and reached for the leaves on their shoulders.

Squinting her eyes in the direction where the mother-in-law had just arrived, Chunlan walked over quickly.

"Woo woo woo ......"

As soon as she got closer, Chunlan heard a faint cry.

She couldn't help but tremble, hugged herself with her hands around her chest and rubbed it, and whispered, "It's broad daylight, won't it......"

Glancing inside, the decoration was gorgeous, and there were many maids and maids, Chunlan could basically determine that this was the small courtyard where the side lady was.

It's just that in broad daylight, even if the door is closed, why is there still crying?

Suddenly, the maid inside saw the figure reflected on the ground by the sunlight outside, and said sharply, "Who is there?" ”

Chunlan hurriedly shrank her head, not daring to linger any longer, and ran back nervously.

There was a sound of footsteps in his ears, it was the people inside who chased him out, Chunlan ran to the front hall with all her strength, and happened to bump into Hotaru Yue who was about to come out with tea, and the two almost collided.

Hotaru Yue glanced back at Wang Ye, and seeing that he didn't pay attention to this, she hurriedly pulled Chunlan behind her.

Chunlan, who was still panting, hurriedly adjusted her breathing, pretending to stand behind her as if nothing had happened, and took the tea in her hand.

"Then we won't bother, and ask Master Wang to tell Mrs. Fang, I will wait for her in Linglong Pavilion."

Bidding farewell to Wang Ye, the master and servant left the palace.

As soon as she came out, Hotaru hurriedly pulled Chunlan into the carriage.

Looking at the tea leaves in her hand, Chunlan was puzzled: "Madam, why did you accept these tea leaves from the Wang family?" What kind of good tea does the Hou Mansion want? ”

Hooking her lips, Hotaru took the tea leaves.

"You don't understand, there is something in this tea." She said mysteriously.

Hotaru slowly opened the lid of the tea and sniffed it, although the carriage space was small, if it wasn't for good tea, it wouldn't fill the house with fragrance as soon as she opened it.

Wrinkling her nose, Chunlan smelled: "Good fragrant tea, I'm afraid it's not cheap, this Wang family is really a rich family." ”

She sighed, but Hotaru shook her head and closed the lid back.

"Actually, I have to thank Jiang Jiayu, this is all what he taught me before, and I still belong to the current learning and selling it."

Chunlan was more and more confused by her words, and repeated: "Jiang Gongzi? What's going on with Jiang Gongzi here? ”

"Jiang Jiayu once told me about the production process of some tea, whether it is temperature control and fire control, it is not an easy task." With that, Hotaru chuckled.

Although Hotaru does not know much about tea, she also knows that the tea making process in this era is not as convenient as modern times, and good tea is even more rare, and it is basically sent to the palace and becomes a tribute in the palace.

She looked at the bottom of the jar, and sure enough, there was the word "Yu".

Compared with her calmness, Chunlan was particularly surprised when she saw the word "Yu" under the tea leaves, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Covering her mouth, Chunlan cautiously glanced outside the carriage.

Fortunately, the streets were lively, and no one noticed the movement on their side at all, Chunlan lowered her voice and said: "This is a tribute in the palace, this Wang family is just a merchant, how can there be a tribute in the palace?" ”

Carefully put away the tea, Yingyue said with a smile: "That's why you have to check, you take this tea back to the Hou Mansion first, be careful along the way, your expression is natural, don't be noticed by others, and when the time comes, take it to Xie Jingyuan for identification, and see if you can find clues." ”

"Yes, slaves will be careful."

After Chunlan finished speaking, she prepared to get off the carriage.

Remembering that there was still something to ask, Hotaru Yue grabbed her and said, "You wait." ”

After getting out of the carriage, Chunlan looked back at her in a daze.

Hotaru Yue hurriedly asked, "Have you seen the scene inside the inner house today?" ”

Patting her head, Chunlan retreated and told her what she had seen in the palace.

"The slave went to the backyard and found that the lady on the other side was obviously in the room, but the door was closed, and there was a faint cry." Speaking of this, Chunlan couldn't help but say: "This is really strange, it is clear that the old man Wang loves his side room and is willing to spend a lot of money for the beauty, but he let his beloved cry so much that his voice is hoarse and he still thinks about meeting guests in the front hall?" ”

"It's really strange, what's going on in this palace?"

Hotaru nodded, she also felt that this was very strange, and she couldn't help but mutter.

And...... Today's king is clearly a little interested in himself, if he doesn't have the identity of the lady of the Hou Mansion, I'm afraid that he will be more than just kind to himself.

Thinking like this, Hotaru Moon felt a chill!

"Madame, what's wrong with you?"

Chunlan saw that the expression on her face was not quite right, and she hurriedly said with concern.

"I'm fine."

Hotaru didn't dare to tell Chunlan about the front hall, although she was her personal maid and had a high degree of credibility, but it was related to her reputation, and it was not easy to take risks, not to mention, they were not without gain today.

I'm afraid that the wind in the capital is getting stronger and stronger......
