Eunuch Zhao Xian led Lin Daiyu to walk in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and said to Lin Daiyu: "The tea-handling officer of the late emperor was set up under the Shang Palace Bureau, together with the Huafu Room, the Si Zhen Room, and the Si Dining Room. Ever since the emperor ascended the throne, tea has been set up in this Hall of Mental Cultivation. The lady in charge of tea is Concubine Zhen, the daughter of the powerful minister, who is now the birth mother of the seventh prince. Later, Concubine Zhen passed away, and the tea director never returned to the palace. bureau."

Lin Daiyu thought to herself, it turned out that the birth mother of the Seventh Prince also served here, which shows how much the Emperor attached importance to tea, and her life must be like walking on eggshells in the future!

Next, Lin Daiyu followed Eunuch Zhao Xian to get acquainted with the location and rules of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and rested in the female officer's room in the side hall.

On the morning of the second day, Lord Zixun from the Shang Palace Bureau brought a group of maids to the tea department, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Lin Zhangcha, the newcomer, I have selected a few sensible maids from the Shang Palace Bureau. Send it to Lin Zhangcha, first, don't let Lin Zhangcha take up the new person who is short of orders, and second, it will also increase the popularity of this Zhangcha."

Lin Daiyu saw more than a dozen court ladies in light yellow dresses standing behind Lord Zixun, and caught a glimpse of Xiaobai and Xiaomo standing neatly at a glance, and couldn't help admiring Lord Zixun's hard work.

After Master Zixun left, Lin Daiyu stepped back to meet Xiaobai and Xiaomo, and narrated what happened during the time they were parting.Xiaobai is still lively, and Xiaomo is still not good at words.The three masters and servants were so happy that they had endless words to say.

Seeing that the master and Xiaobai had similar conversations, Xiao Mo said, "Master, although the slaves are happy to be reunited with the master, there is a worry that the slaves have to report."

Xiaobai's face also changed from the original joy to the solemn expression later, Lin Daiyu was shocked, not knowing what kind of disaster it was, she hurriedly took Xiaomo's hand and asked, "What is it all about?"

"Of the other ten maidservants sent by Zixun Shanggong, eight belong to the concubine Yuan, and the other two are said to be old people from the Seventh Palace. .” Xiao Mo replied.

Lin Daiyu giggled, "What's wrong with me, it turned out to be like this, it's nothing. You really thought Master Zixun would be so kind and send so many people to my little palm Is it because of someone else's favor that the tea maid official take the favor of Concubine Yuan half of it, and then send the two of you over and sell it to me as a favor, so that's all. It's okay, the three of us will be careful in everything in the future All is well..."

Before the words fell, there was a "bang" outside, and the three of them jumped.He hurriedly stood up and went out to have a look, only to see a bunch of colorful court ladies gathered in front of the door of the tea room, each of them was whispering something.Another older court lady yelled loudly: "You are so courageous, you dare to touch the West Lake Longjing, which is the favorite of Long live God! With such a weight of half a catty, you fell all at once, and you really can't afford to pay for a hundred lives!..."

Lin Daiyu hurried over to push away the crowd, and when they saw the tea-handling lady coming, they all fell silent.The red-clothed female officer who had just scolded the court lady hurriedly came over and said: "See Lin Zhangcha, the servant is Hong Zhu, the tea servant." He told the whole story again.

Lin Daiyu saw that the maid who caused trouble just now was wearing a scallion-yellow palace dress, which was the same as that of Xiaomo and Xiaobai, so she must be someone who had just been transferred from Shanggong Bureau.

Seeing the court lady knelt there with her head bowed without changing her face, she was not flustered, as if she had already made up her mind, Lin Daiyu knew that she had already made a move.After making up his mind, he asked: "Bold maidservant, if you touch the emperor's tea without authorization, can you be convicted?"

The female servant bowed her head and said convincingly: "My servant is guilty, but this servant did not touch it without authorization. If Lin Zhangcha hadn't said that he wanted to see the Emperor's favorite tea and ordered his servant to come and fetch it, this servant would not have broken into this place. A catastrophe. Things have come to this point, and the slaves only hope that Lin Zhangcha will be the master of the slaves..."

Lin Daiyu had already understood in her heart that it was not surprising to see her being framed like this. When Xiaobai heard this, his blood rushed upwards. When Xiaobai was anxious, he forgot the rules and wanted to go forward to quarrel. The poor Xiaomo died He grabbed her and winked at her before stopping her.

Lin Daiyu leaned down slowly, and saw the Longjing tea spilled on the ground, it was indeed thick with green smoke and fragrant.Helping the maid up, she said with a smile: "If it was my order, how could I not make the decision for you. What's your name?"

Seeing that Lin Daiyu didn't panic because of her nonsense, but was so calm on the contrary, the palace maid couldn't help panicking, and replied: "Your maidservant... her name is Cui... Cuisi..."

"Cuisi...", the name clearly came after Shi Xiangyun's maid, Cuilu.Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai have always been on good terms. If I guessed correctly, Xue Baochai must have been able to win over Shi Xiangyun's people long ago, using a knife to kill people. ——Tracey came to assassinate her. It is good if she succeeds. If she fails, she will not be able to find her fault. Instead, it will cause a rift between Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun.

"Xue Baochai's methods are really sinister and ruthless. If I were still the Lin Daiyu in the original book, I would have been plotted by them early on. It's a pity that I am not the cowardly and easy to bully Lin Daiyu. Thinking of getting rid of me like this, Xue Baochai and her I'm too confident." Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu asked Triss slowly: "Looking at the clothes you are wearing, it must be the maid who was sent here by Lord Zixun from Shanggong Bureau today?"

Cui Si tried to maintain her composure, and replied confidently: "Going back to Lin Zhangcha, the maidservant has indeed just arrived here today."

Lin Daiyu walked around Triss, and couldn't help laughing to herself twice, which made Triss feel the cool breeze all over her body.

Lin Daiyu stood still, and said to Hongzhu, the old man in charge of the tea department standing beside him: "Dare to ask sister Hongzhu, there are no less than a thousand kinds of tea in this tea department. , what season, what climate... Do you know which kind of tea you like to drink? Which kind of tea is placed in which jar, how to store it, and how to take care of it, you know everything by heart?"

Following Lin Daiyu's inquiry, everyone couldn't help looking at the wooden shelves for storing tea in the room together. They saw the golden nanmu shelves like bookshelves standing in the tea storage room, and the blue and white porcelain altars, celadon porcelain altars and celadon porcelain altars were neatly placed in rows. Altars, bronze containers, glass bottles... all kinds of containers dazzled everyone, and there was no wooden sign on them to identify the tea name.

Hong Zhu replied: "Reporting to Lin Zhangcha, the slave girl Hongyu entered the palace at the age of five, and was sent to serve the tea master at the age of seven. It has been more than 13 years now. But the slave girl is not the tea-serving maid who is personally served by the Lord Long Live. Therefore, the maidservant has not been able to memorize which kind of tea Long Live God likes. As for the location of the tea, whether there are some taboos, etc., the maidservant still knows a little bit."

"Bold Hongzhu, since you only know what kind of tea it is, but you don't know what the emperor likes, why do you dare to reprimand Triss like this? There are dozens of identical teas in this tea storage room, and if you break it, just take another jar." Make a big fuss like this!" Lin Daiyu's voice was soft, but full of irrefutable majesty, she said it without anger and prestige, and Hong Zhu, an old man in the palace, was beating her heart, and bowed to report back with grievances. Said: "It's not that Hongzhu is making a big deal out of a molehill. Although Hongzhu doesn't know exactly what Long Live Lord likes, the West Lake Longjing that Long Live Lord likes is well known to everyone inside and outside the palace..."

Lin Daiyu interrupted her explanation, and said slowly: "So even a newcomer like Triss who has only been in the tea department for less than an hour, it is not unusual to know that Long Live God loves West Lake Longjing. What is strange is that Triss Among so many similar bottles and cans, you can find West Lake Longjing at once... Sister Hongzhu, you have been in charge of the tea company for more than ten years, can you do this?"

A few words, everyone who said it was full of doubts!They all whispered: "Isn't it? How did this Triss find West Lake Longjing all at once? She is a new little palace lady like her?"

"Could someone tell her? That's why someone instructed her?"

"Isn't that right? I think the old man in the palace ordered her to deliberately drop the tea leaves, and then framed Lin Zhangcha! Let Lin Zhangcha commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, which will lead to Lin Zhangcha's death force!"

"Who is so insidious? Lin Zhangcha has only been in office for one day, and he is so eager to pull her down..."

Lin Daiyu saw that Tris' framing was self-defeating, she secretly let out a sigh of relief, and relaxed.It's just that Xiaobai and Xiaomo didn't agree, and grabbed Triss: "Bold and lowly servant girl, who was ordered to frame my master, and you really did it!"

Who would have thought that Triss would do such a dirty thing with the heart of burning everything, and when she saw the incident revealed, she would vomit blood and die after biting the poison hidden in her mouth, and everyone was terrified.
