Against the Dream of Red Mansions: The Phoenix Comes to the World Lin Daiyu

Chapter 30 A Slap in the Face for the Concubine Yuan

Lin Daiyu, who is in charge of the tea department in the Hall of Central Harmony, spent three days sorting out all the tea products in the tea storage room of the tea department in charge, and made an inventory of which ones are short and which ones need to be thrown away Replaced with new ones... etc. I know the details like the palm of my hand, and I study the tea recipes of the tea director and the records of the emperor's tea every day. A tea that must be drunk at the memorial is made of freshly picked Qilian black tea, Tieguanyin, September chrysanthemum petals, Qiulu, and rock sugar. After the tea bowl was filled, it was chilled in the ice room, and after a little icing, it was presented to the emperor, and the tea was named: Qiuzhen tea.

Lin Daiyu carefully studied the records of this period of time, and found that the emperor had been drinking this tea during this period, until after the death of Concubine Zhen.And the careful Lin Daiyu discovered that the records of the ten days after the death of Concubine Zhen disappeared inexplicably.Lin Daiyu pondered for a while, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, she had already guessed in her heart, and said in her stomach: "This is in a hurry to show the fox's tail! This time, don't try to use the life of a little girl to do it. Let you show a little prototype, and you will know a little restraint."

Immediately ordered someone to bring the ingredients of this tea, and carefully cooked the tea in the small tea room.

After cooking for a few rounds, I tasted it by myself, but I was not satisfied. Until the tenth day, Lin Daiyu had [-]% confidence in the tea, and the maid Que'er who was on duty in the tea room came up and said, "It's too expensive to handle the tea." The Qiuzhen tea prepared with so much thought is very good today, why not present it to the emperor tonight, so that the emperor can impress our tea masters?"

Lin Daiyu sneered, and said: "Very good. I remember that the court maids under Hong Zhu's hand always fixed the number of people who brought tea. Now it's a new tea, why don't you send a new one? I think you have almost learned it now." , today I will send you to serve, and show your face in front of the emperor."

Que'er's face was ashen and ugly, and she tried her best to avoid it, but Lin Daiyu was determined, so she had to accept the order.

In the evening, Eunuch Zhao Xian suddenly sent someone to invite Lin Daiyu, and said, "Why is Lin Zhangcha so careless? The maid Que'er who was sent to serve the tea suddenly had a stomachache, and if she didn't change to a lady who understands it, I'm afraid it will happen later." Hui Longyan will be displeased."

Lin Daiyu sneered again, it really was Que'er who was playing tricks, Que'er went out of the palace and met Xue Baochai, as if she had taken some reassurance pill, she was so bold, and started to act again.Lin Daiyu hurriedly changed the tea products, changed the maids, and went to deliver the tea.

Seeing that Que'er was not going, Lin Daiyu didn't serve the emperor with Qiuzhen tea. It took more than ten days. Lin Daiyu believed that with so many people, designing so many chain buttons, and wasting so much thought, they couldn't consume her.

Finally, Que'er resentfully came to the tea room again, and said to Lin Daiyu: "Your maidservant feels better today, why don't you serve Qiuzhen tea to the emperor today, to win the prize?"

Lin Daiyu said with a slight smile: "These days I just want to leave this lottery to you, but you have a stomachache when you can use it. I made two cups of Qiuzhen tea this afternoon and sent them to the ice cellar. I just tasted them. , very good, you just arrange to serve it."

Que'er's eyes sank, she smiled and agreed to back out.

Lin Daiyu rested early, and she had to gather enough energy to wait for a good show in the evening.

Sure enough, when the time of unitary arrived, it was the time when the emperor was about to have his evening tea, and Xiao Bai reported outside: "Master, what happened to Que'er happened."

It turned out that Lin Daiyu expected to have something to do tonight, so she slept with her clothes on.She hurriedly got up and adjusted her makeup in front of the mirror, then opened the door and came out, followed by Xiao Mo and Xiao Bai, and the master and servant went straight to Chief Eunuch Zhao Xian's office.I saw Hongzhu, the court lady in charge of tea delivery, and others were there, and Que'er knelt on the ground and wept.

Lin Daiyu pretended to be ignorant, hurried in and asked, "Eunuch, what happened? What happened to Que'er?"

Zhao Xian rarely looked badly at Lin Daiyu, snorted and said: "Lin Zhangcha, the miscellaneous family thought you were a peaceful person, but they didn't expect you to do such a mindless thing. Do you know that Qiu Zhen Tea is the emperor's taboo? Since the concubine Zhen passed away, the emperor said: "I can't drink Qiuzhen tea anymore.", and ordered that all the tea recipes of Qiuzhen tea be sealed. Now you are so smart, if it weren't for miscellaneous people Seeing that the maid serving today has changed, I asked a little more. This tea has already been brought in, why not make the Long Live God furious? At that time, Lin Zhangcha could afford it, and the miscellaneous family couldn't see that the Long Live God was angry and hurt the dragon. body!"

Lin Daiyu hurriedly confessed, her eyes were red and she explained: "It's all Daiyu's fault. Thanks to Eunuch Zhao, Lin Daiyu was prevented from committing a capital crime! Eunuch Zhao, please accept a gift from your servant!"

After speaking, Lin Daiyu knelt down and kowtowed.Zhao Xian knew Lin Daiyu's background, besides, the last time Cui Si died, the emperor still intentionally or unintentionally exonerated Lin Daiyu. Speaking of Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu wiped away two tears, and said slowly: "Daiyu knows that she made a big mistake, but Daiyu really didn't know that the emperor sealed the prescription of this Qiuzhen tea, and the tea master is not allowed to use it again." Fang Zi is clearly in the brochure, and I hope my father-in-law will expressly..."

When Zhao Xian heard this, he looked suspicious and asked, "Did Lin Zhangcha see the recipe in the brochure?"

Lin Daiyu nodded while weeping.

Zhao Xian sneered, and said to Hong Zhu and the others: "It seems that someone in your tea manager is still playing tricks, and you will not stop until you kill your new tea manager!"

When Hongzhu and the others heard this, they knelt down in panic and said they didn't dare.Hongzhu said: "The record of the emperor's use of tea is a confidential thing, and we and other servants can manipulate it? Only the clerk and female officer in the entire tea department can handle this thing."

Before finishing a sentence, a court lady kowtowed like pounding garlic and cried: "This servant is Fangru, the official clerk who is in charge of the tea department. All the documents and other things, the servant only presented it to Lin Zhangcha, and everything else The slaves and maidservants did not do anything, let Zhao Gonggong and Lin Zhangcha learn from each other!"

Lin Daiyu hurriedly got up and took out a volume of books from her sleeve and said, "Fangru, you must speak carefully. I will carry the paperwork you gave me with me even at night. No one else has touched it. If you say you didn't If I have tampered with it, then that is me." Lin Daiyu handed the scroll to Fangru, "Look at this again, but you presented it to me?"

Fangru took the scroll tremblingly, and after reading it, she was shocked and said: "This is not the memoir of our tea department! The scrolls of our tea department have seals, and this seal is not our tea department's. This memoir is It’s a counterfeit! Someone must have changed the document on purpose at some point!”

"Who is so brave to do such a decapitation?! Fangru, do you know who else can look up the books of the tea master besides you?" Lin Daiyu asked without anger.

"Back... Back to Lin Zhangcha... I dare not speak..."

Lin Daiyu lowered her eyes, turned around and said to Zhao Xian: "Grandpa Zhao, Daiyu is new here, and she is not very familiar with the rules of this palace. When encountering such a thing, I hope my father-in-law will make the decision for me. Don't wrong a good person, and don't let Fang It’s better if it’s hard to do.”

Zhao Xian sighed, and said to Lin Daiyu: "You don't need to tell Fangru, the Zajia knows who has this ability. The Zajia knows who has this ability. The Zajia knows it well, and will deal with it. You all step down."

It goes without saying that Lin Daiyu took a group of court ladies back to take charge of the tea department.

Two days later, Lin Daiyu really heard that a clerk in Fengzao Palace committed suicide.Lin Daiyu sneered and said: "As expected, I still found a scapegoat, but it's a pity that an innocent life was lost."

Xiaobai spit: "Why are you so innocent? The one who helps the tyrant! Thanks to the master's ingenuity, he knew that this was Jia Yuanchun's trick, and the only ones who have the right to check the emperor's record of tea consumption are the empress and the imperial concubine. I have been neglected for many years, and I have not set foot in this tea shop for more than ten years. Is it because the concubine Yuan used the excuse of caring about the emperor from time to time to send people to check what the emperor drank and ate. Doing such a shameless thing, we still Don't shout it out, it's really cheap, Jia's!"

Lin Daiyu said: "The concubine Yuan has done so many shameless things over the years? How can the emperor know nothing about it? It's not just pampering her. It's even more inconvenient for us to speak out about this trivial matter to make the emperor worry. Besides, we don't Before making a move, a palace maid of Fengzao Palace has already died, it is already a slap in the face for the concubine Yuan, it is worth it."

"What the master said is true. It's just the sparrow that is helping you, what is the master going to do with it?" Xiao Bai asked again.

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Let her go. Since she dared to do such a thing, she must be determined to die. Why do we bother to kill another person?"

"Master's heart is too kind..." Xiaobai sighed.
