Chapter 18 The first day on duty

Aunt Cao then told Chaqing and Chalan a few more words, then turned around and left.

She is in charge of the entire tea room in Emperor Zhao Palace. She is still busy with a lot of things every day, and she doesn't have time to stay here all the time.

As soon as Aunt Cao left, Cha Qing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand to pull Jinse, and asked with a smile: "Your name is Jinse, right? You look so thin, you must be much smaller than me, I will call you from now on." Sister Jinse, right? Okay?"

This is a familiar temper.

However, she spoke with a smile on her face and kindness in her eyes, which did not offend anyone with her familiarity.

Jinse naturally didn't deserve anything, so he nodded in agreement.

Cha Qing was obviously very happy when she saw Jin Se's well-behaved appearance. She pulled Jin Se and started asking questions, very enthusiastically.

Jinse didn't know how to react for a moment.

Cha Lan, who had been silent for a long time, had quickly made a pot of hot tea.

Seemingly sensing that Jinse was a little embarrassed, Chalan poured a cup of hot tea into Chaqing's hand and said helplessly: "You just came in from outside. You're not cold. Drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."

Burn your mouth, or say a few words less, so as not to scare others.

Cha Qing and the others just came in from outside so early in the winter morning. Is it possible that it won't be cold?

Feeling the warmth on her hands, Chaqing hurriedly took two sips of the hot tea and sighed happily after drinking it.

Chalan poured another cup for Jinse and said with a smile: "Chaqing has this temper. She talks a lot every day. Sister Jinse doesn't need to pay attention to her. She is a person. If you ignore her, she will be able to do it by herself. Someone who talks a lot."

Jinse smiled and thanked her, and then slowly drank the hot tea with a cup in hand.

People have good intentions, so Jinse naturally has no intention of keeping an indifferent face.

Seeing her well-behaved look, Chalan smiled, poured herself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

The three of them drank tea and talked around the small clay stove, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Well, it was mainly Cha Qing who said it, and Jin Se also really saw how Cha Qing could talk a lot by herself when no one answered.

This feeling felt quite novel to Jin Se.

The three of them stopped chatting and joking until the waiter came to order tea.

Cha Qing and Cha Lan also quickly got up and started working.

They were all used to doing this, and they did it very smoothly, but Jinse stood aside, looking a bit helpless.

Chalan glanced sideways at her and said softly: "You have just arrived. I'm afraid you won't be able to make tea for a while. Just watch it first, and just follow us to serve tea later."

Jinse nodded and said yes, and sure enough, he stood aside and looked at it carefully.

There were probably more people arriving today, so Cha Qing and Cha Lan prepared quite a few tea cups.

Jinse looked at it from the side, feeling a little strange.

Cha Qing and Cha Lan were seen brewing different tea in two of the tea cups from the previous ones.

So Jinse asked softly: "Why did the sisters change so many kinds of tea?".

She clearly saw that there were several cups of tea using the same tea leaves, but there were two cups of tea using different tea leaves.

Chalan explained while making tea: "The young father-in-law who just sent the message said that the adults from the Ministry of War, His Royal Highness the First Prince and His Highness the Fifth Prince are coming to the Imperial Study Room right now. The two cups are for the First Prince and the Fifth Prince. Your two highnesses have different tastes for tea!"Since he is a prince, his treatment is naturally different from those of the ministers.

And because they are princes, the tea room will naturally serve tea according to the princes' own preferences.

After Chalan finished speaking, she glanced sideways at Jinse. Just as she was about to tell her more about the princes' preferences, she saw Jinse standing in a daze.

Moreover, Cha Lan felt that Jin Se's face had changed as she looked at it.

Chalan was stunned for a moment, thinking that Jinse suddenly felt uncomfortable, so he quickly asked: "Jinse, what's wrong with you?".

Jinse came back to her senses, breathed a sigh of relief slowly, then shook her head and said, "Sister Chalan, I'm fine. I just heard that there were so many adults around, and I was a little nervous. I've never seen such a scene before!"

What Xu Jinse said was really pitiful, Cha Lan did not doubt.

After hearing this, Cha Qing comforted us: "Don't be nervous, Jinse. We are all from the Imperial Palace after all. Not to mention the adults, even the several highnesses who come often will not embarrass us for no reason, so you don't have to be afraid!" ".

This is true.

Even Cha Lan didn't say anything to Cha Qing after hearing this.

Jinse nodded and responded obediently.

Cha Qing and Cha Lan saw that Jin Se really didn't seem to be feeling uncomfortable, so they felt relieved and continued to work.

They were still waiting for tea ahead, so they couldn't waste time talking too much.

So very quickly, the two of them made all the tea quickly.

Chalan pointed to the two cups of tea on a tray and said to Jinse: "These two cups of tea, the one on the left is for His Highness the First Prince, and the one on the right is for His Highness the Fifth Prince. You will follow us later." Just go in and send it up."

Jinse was stunned and said hesitantly: "Sister Chalan, it's my first day as a errand. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to serve tea directly to the two highnesses? How about I go with my sister instead?"

After all, she has been working as a servant in the imperial tea room. She came later and was on duty on her first day.

They should naturally be asked to do such an errand as serving tea to the prince.

This can be regarded as some small rules among the palace people in private.

Cha Lan smiled after hearing this and said: "It doesn't matter, although you are on duty for the first day, but speaking of it, you are the second-class palace maid, and we are the third-class palace maid, so in this imperial tea room, according to the rules We still have to listen to your instructions!".

It was just because Jinse was too young and not familiar with the work in the imperial teahouse, so Chalan followed Aunt Cao's instructions and took her to get familiar with it first.

Therefore, it is naturally more appropriate to serve tea to the two princes.

Cha Qing had no objection to Cha Lan’s arrangement.

Unexpectedly, Jinse himself had an opinion.

Jinse looked embarrassed: "Although I say so, how can this matter be settled like this? The two sisters have much higher qualifications here than me. Besides, I'm also afraid that I can't do it well. If I offend you somewhere. It would be bad if His Highness is unhappy."

Upon hearing this, Cha Lan waved her hands and said without any worry: "The two princes and their highnesses are both of good temperament. You don't have to worry too much. Just follow us and serve the tea safely."

Cha Qing also followed and said: "That's right, Sister Cha Lan is right, so sister Jinse, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Jinse wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Cha Lan again.

Cha Lan said: "Okay, let's not delay any more, let's go serve tea as soon as possible!".
