Auntie was having lunch at home after work when her servant Chunyan, who was on duty, ran to her house in a panic.
It was Ziyuan, the second young lady's subordinate, who came.
When Auntie saw her expression, she thought to herself, "Something's not right!"
In the morning, I stuffed ten taels of silver into Ziyuan's pocket. Ten taels of silver was her monthly salary for three months, which was not a small amount.
He only asked her to pass on a message, saying that this was a new tea carefully prepared by the waiter for the second young lady.
If the second young lady doesn't like it, ask her to say a few good words and don't offend her.
Auntie has been feeling uneasy all morning, and now she is going to offend her.
Auntie put down her bowl and chopsticks and hurried to the tea room with Chunyan.
Ziyuan, dressed in silk, sat under a tree in the teahouse courtyard. Seeing Madam coming over, she looked slightly annoyed and said in a mocking tone:
"It's so hot, Auntie, you really kept me waiting."
In fact, from the time she came over, Chunyan ran to find Auntie, and the whole process took only half a cup of tea.
A first-class maid is considered half a master, and she is naturally more pampered than these servants.
Upon hearing this, Madam Zi stepped forward and bowed, but she was more concerned about the purpose of her visit. "Sister Ziyuan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Does the Second Young Lady have any instructions?"
"The second young lady said she wanted another cup of morning tea after her nap." Then she continued slowly, "From now on, morning tea will be served today."
Ziyuan spoke softly and slowly, while Auntie Xiao listened to every word beside her, her heart exploding.
The Second Miss has loved the Bamboo Fragrance Core since it was made three years ago and has been using it until now.
Madam Gu didn't expect that the second young lady wanted to change the tea. She thought that the second young lady would definitely not like it.
Besides, the flowers haven't bloomed yet in spring, so where can I find flowers to make tea? "Sister Ziyuan, the flowers haven't bloomed yet in spring, so making this tea requires..."
When Zi Yuan heard her trying to refuse, she interrupted her and asked, "Then where did you get your tea this morning?"
"This was made last year, and there's only a little of it. It just so happened that the Bamboo Fragrance Pipe ran out today, so I brought this to replace it." Auntie said angrily.
Ziyuan's face was already showing impatience.
A waiter even bargained with her.
"This is your job, you have to figure it out yourself.
"Bring the tea quickly. It looks like the Second Miss is about to get up. We can't afford any delay."
Auntie didn't say anything else. Yingying had given her an extra packet in the morning, which was just right for emergency use.
She hurriedly served tea, and after Ziyuan left, the old lady had a bitter face.
Where are the flowers? Oh, right, Yingying!
Since she couldn't even take out three packs, she must have more.
Soon, Yingying came over. Auntie Yingying was waiting at the door. When she saw her, her face was full of smiles.
Yingying saw this bright smile, which was quite different from the cold indifference in the morning.
"Hello Yingying, the second young lady is here to say that from now on, you will be the one to make breakfast tea in the morning."
As soon as Auntie said this, everyone who came over after lunch, who didn't know Ziyuan had been there, immediately surrounded her.
"The Second Miss finally changed the tea? Which tea?"
"What kind of tea?"
“…”
The old lady looked at everyone and said in a low voice: "Are you guys free? You have nothing to do~"
Everyone dispersed, and Auntie Xiao stared at Xiao Yingying again, "You gave me tea this morning, is there any more?"
Yingying thought about what she had said before, and it must be that the second young lady likes to drink.
Yingying nodded, "A little more."
“The Second Young Lady personally ordered this tea, so you should offer it all. I will teach you how to brew and make tea in the future.
Once you have acquired the skills, becoming a third-class maid is just around the corner."
The words of the aunt are very tempting to ordinary slaves.
Menial servants are all vulgar and cannot learn any skills, so don't even think about being promoted to third-class servants in your lifetime.
As for the little third-class servants, not only were their monthly wages much better than those of menial servants, they also had days off and opportunities to serve their masters... Most importantly, they could say goodbye to hard and rough labor from then on.
Therefore, many menial servants wanted to climb up to these skilled servants in order to turn their lives around.
Yingying waved her hand and said, "No, Auntie, I'll light the stove."
The old lady looked at her with a look of "What are you looking at?" and said, "Never mind, never mind. This person is just too lazy. It's easier to watch the stove."
"Auntie, the tea is at home. Please wait for me to bring it home."
Having said that, he turned and walked out. When he reached a deserted place, he bought two boxes of morning scented tea, each box costing 10 taels of silver.
Yingying unpacked all the boxes, threw them into the storage ring, and went to the tea room.
In the teahouse, Cigarette saw that there was no one by the stove, and complained in a sour voice:
"Madam, it's already four o'clock in the afternoon, and we haven't even seen Yingying, the new arrival."
Xianqi was busy with housework today and came in a little late, so he didn't know about the second young lady changing the tea.
Hearing this, Auntie looked at her and said, "Just do your job well, why are you so talkative?"
