"Oh my, it's over, it's over! This is the teapot that the master is used to using, and I broke it. What should I do?"
When the young eunuch saw the broken teapot, sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't know whether it was because of pain or fear.
At this time, Lin Yueran quickly stood up and walked over.
She looked at him with concern in her eyes, "Are you okay, Grandpa?"
"Is there something wrong? How can it be okay? I broke the master's teapot. What should I do?"
The young eunuch was actually not that old, but because he was nimble and quick-witted, Su Peisheng took a fancy to him and asked him to do some work such as making and pouring tea.
But after all, he was young and a little naive, so when he encountered this kind of situation, he became a little anxious.
"Eunuch, this was an accident. I believe the master will forgive you. Eunuch, how about I help you up?" Lin Yueran bent down and helped him up.
"hiss"
When the young eunuch was helped up by her, a sharp pain in his feet forced his face to twist.
It can be seen that the foot was twisted quite badly in the fall.
"Father-in-law, you sprained your foot."
"I still have to make tea for the master. Now my foot is injured and time is running out. What should I do?"
The young eunuch was really anxious to cry this time. If he waited for Eunuch Su to come back, he would definitely be punished.
When Lin Yueran saw him like this, a dark light flashed in her eyes.
"How about this, sir? I'll make you some tea and bring it to the master. Look at your foot, it's so badly injured, you definitely can't walk. The master is almost back soon, so I'll make you some tea and bring it over right away. What do you think?"
When the young eunuch heard this, he looked at her, then looked outside, then looked down at his legs, secretly cursing himself for being so useless.
After struggling for a while, he finally said, "Okay, then go quickly. The master will be back soon. After you put the tea away, come out quickly. Don't linger in there, understand."
The master hates other people staying in the study for a long time. He usually makes tea, puts it away and then leaves.
Lin Yueran was delighted and asked, "Yes, I'll go right away."
Then he looked down at his legs and said hesitantly, "Father-in-law, what about your legs? How about I help you go back and rest so you can rub them with the medicated oil."
"No need, I can slowly move this back. You should hurry up and go. Otherwise, if you are late, Eunuch Su will see you and scold you."
"Then I'll go now. Father-in-law, please be careful. I'll clean up after I come back."
Then he went to get a new teapot and brewed a new pot of tea. He also brewed a pot of tea on the table and brought it to the Fourth Master's study.
When she arrived at the door of the Fourth Master's study, she greeted the two young eunuchs at the door and went in with the tea.
After entering, she couldn't help but look around the study. This was the first time she had entered here since she came to the front yard. She had never had the chance to enter here before.
She brought the tea to the Fourth Master's desk and put down the teapot.
She took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and took off an ordinary gold hairpin from her head. She didn't know where she pressed, but a small hole immediately appeared on the originally round pillar.
Then she opened the teapot and sprinkled a little powder out from the small hole.
The powder fell into the water and disappeared immediately.
Lin Yueran didn't dare put in too much, so she only put in a little and then took it back. As soon as she put on the hairpin, the servant's greetings were heard outside.
Then there were footsteps coming this way.
She didn't care about anything else. After putting on the hairpin, she hurriedly walked out from the desk.
As soon as I came out, the Fourth Master and Su Peisheng came in.
Lin Yueran was a little nervous for a moment, not knowing whether it was because he felt guilty, but he fell to his knees on the ground.
"Greetings to the master." Lin Yueran lowered her head very low, feeling extremely nervous.
The Fourth Master didn't even look at her. He just said, "Get up," and walked past her to sit down at the table.
Lin Yueran stood up, glanced sideways at the teapot on the table, then lowered her head and walked out.
When Su Peisheng saw her, he frowned slightly, but when he saw that she had already retreated, he didn't say anything else.
But he would have to ask Xiao Dezi carefully later. It had always been his job to make tea for the master. Why did someone else do it today, and it was her?
Didn't he instruct her before to only do the rough work?
Su Peisheng didn’t understand what was going on right now, so he could only wait and ask Xiao Dezi.
"Su Peisheng, what are you still doing standing there?"
The Fourth Master was about to read the official documents when he looked up and saw Su Peisheng still standing there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'll be right there." Su Peisheng hurried forward to help his master grind the ink.
Su Peisheng came over and glanced at the teapot, frowning in thought.
Because he was lost in thought, the Fourth Master called him several times but he didn't respond.
The Fourth Master glanced at him sideways, then bent his fingers slightly on the table and tapped them lightly.
Su Peisheng finally came to his senses and saw his master staring at him, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
"Master, Master, what's wrong?"
"You're the one who's got the problem. I called you several times. What were you thinking about? Why were you so lost in thought?"
From the moment Su Peisheng came in to now, it seems that he has something on his mind.
I have never seen him like this before. What happened today? Did something happen that he doesn’t know about?
"Slave, slave, I'm fine. It's my fault that I was distracted just now. Please punish me, Master."
"Alright, don't do this again next time. Please send someone to tell Consort Consort, I'll go to her place for dinner later."
After saying this, the Fourth Master buried his head and began to review official documents again.
"Yes, I'll be there in a moment."
Halfway through reviewing, the Fourth Master felt his mouth dry. Without even looking up, he directed to Su Peisheng, "Pour me a cup of tea."
Su Peisheng uttered an "ah" and picked up the teapot to pour tea for the Fourth Master.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Master, this tea is a little cold. I'll get you another pot."
Then, without waiting for the master to ask anything, he hurriedly took the teapot and went downstairs.
Fourth Master: “…”
I've never seen Su Peisheng so diligent before. What happened today?
Besides, wasn't this tea just served? How could it cool down so quickly?
The Fourth Master didn't think much about it and continued to review the documents with his head down.
Su Peisheng took the teapot out and then instructed Xiao Shunzi who was standing at the door:
"Xiao Shunzi, go and see what's going on with Xiao Dezi. Why is it that another servant made the master's tea today?"
"Hey, I'll go right away."
Just as Xiao Shunzi was about to call Xiao Dezi, his master grabbed him by the back of the neck.
