Chapter 115 Sudden menarche
The young eunuch thought so too. As long as Aunt Runyi was around, the teahouse had never done anything inappropriate.
On the contrary, Aunt Erqing, who is good-tempered, is always slower in serving tea than Aunt Runyi.
The old eunuch Qian Jiangping had served the emperor all his life, and he knew what kind of person Fang Erqing was at first glance.
The young eunuch hesitated for a few seconds, and slowly understood what Qian Jiangping meant by what he said.
"Then let's be more polite when we meet Miss Runyi next time?"
Qian Jiangping flicked his whisk and thought, why would Zhao Fangyu be polite to these little eunuchs?
After the remaining female official Fang Ruo leaves, I'm afraid that the manager of the tea room will have to fall on Zhao Fangyu's side.
It will be hard to say who will ask whom for help at that time.
"Keep your eyes open and look where you need to be!"
Qian Jiangping was coaxed into the warm room by the young eunuchs, and soon Fang Erqing came out of the hall.
Qian Jiangping was reminded by Pei Yan as soon as he came out.
His Majesty ordered the tea to be given to Lord Pei. Pei Yan knew it was not right as soon as he tasted it, as it was a little cold.
He felt cold after drinking it, let alone His Majesty.
Xiao Quanzi received Qian Jiangping's instructions and went to the tea room to serve tea again. While running, he was still thinking about what his master said. It was true that only the experienced ones could make sense. His master had just said that Aunt Erqing was unreliable, and the next moment Aunt Erqing made a mistake.
As expected, it was more convenient when Aunt Runyi was around, and such a thing never happened.
It was an extra trip in the winter wind and snow. The eunuch was no match for the senior eunuch. The winter clothes he wore blew the wind everywhere, almost freezing people's blood into ice.
When Xiao Quanzi came to deliver the message, Fang Erqing blushed with embarrassment on the spot.
The next day, when Xiao Quanzi came to deliver the message, he told this to Zhao Fangyu as a joke. Zhao Fangyu didn't take it to heart at all. He put the slightly hot tea into the food box and poured a lot of boiling water into the interlayer before carrying the food box and following Xiao Quanzi to deliver the tea.
His Majesty's whereabouts were uncertain, and it was not easy to build teahouses all over the palace, so he built a teahouse in a relatively compromise location between the imperial study and the bedroom.
It is also in recent years that frugality has suddenly been advocated. Otherwise, an emperor of the time would not be able to employ only one waiter and two palace maids to serve tea.
Zhao Fangyu had made careful observations over the past six months and had a precise grasp of the emperor's taste, even taking the weather into consideration, so everything was naturally appropriate.
Zhao Fangyu brought in tea and left the food boxes filled with hot water for Xiao Quanzi and other young eunuchs who were standing at the door to warm themselves.
It was the first time that little Quanzi felt the care from the sharp-tongued Aunt Runyi, and he was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears.
When Zhao Fangyu came out again, Xiao Quanzi smiled at him.
Zhao Fangyu also nodded at him and left with the things.
In fact, when she entered the imperial study just now, she did not personally serve tea to His Majesty, but only handed it to Qian Jiangping, who then presented it to His Majesty.
The day passed slowly and she still had time to sew some small things for herself. Tomorrow was her day off, so Zhao Fangyu was thinking of making herself a cotton cloak, preferably with a hood, so that it would be easier to commute to and from get off work even in windy and snowy weather.
Zhao Fangyu did what he said and went to the comprador office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to buy cotton the next day.
There was still not enough charcoal, but if he bought too much of these things he would owe others a favor. Zhao Fangyu calculated the remaining charcoal this month and estimated that it would be enough, so he did not ask for more.
It will be fine after the New Year.
A letter came from home saying that the business in Fourteen States was getting better and better, and Fang Mo had grown up too, so he often asked about her.
Everything seemed to be getting better. Zhao Fangyu stared at the plum blossoms in full bloom outside and couldn't help thinking of the 21st century. She was not dead, and maybe her original self was not dead either?
Maybe this adventure is to let two similar souls exchange time and space...
Maybe, the daughter that Aunt Qian had been worried about all her life is living a good life in a place that she can't see?
Would Aunt Qian be able to leave with peace of mind this way?
Zhao Fangyu hit his head twice.
"What a fool! Why do I suddenly think of these things when it's not a special year?"
Immediately, a familiar and long-lost warm current slowly seeped out from his lower body. Zhao Fangyu couldn't help but close his eyes and collapsed slightly.
After being a child for so long, I have forgotten that adults have their periods.
Without having time to think about it, Zhao Fangyu immediately took out the cotton she had bought for making cotton-padded clothes and made two menstrual belts for herself.
In ancient times, ordinary people used wood ash to make menstrual belts, while those with better conditions used silk, cloth and cotton.
Due to limited conditions in the palace, Zhao Fangyu made a menstrual belt out of cotton.
After the red first menstruation, Zhao Fangyu can be considered an adult.
Due to the sudden menstrual period, Zhao Fangyu's cloak was thinner than expected after it was made, so he wore an extra vest when on duty.
It wasn't that hard to bear even if we encountered snow and wind on the road.
I would only run into Pei Yan occasionally when delivering tea.
He is now increasingly favored by the emperor, and his hand is even gradually reaching out to the Northern Pacification Office.
Zhao Fangyu was in the imperial court and was always well-informed about the news. Before the new year had even begun, the Minister of Revenue had already made his move.
Early in the morning, Erqing, who had just entered the duty room and had not slept all night, came to congratulate him with a lick of his face: "Our Runyi is so lucky, your father is going to be promoted before the New Year."
Zhao Fangyu raised his eyebrows, and when he opened his eyelids, he saw the deep-seated jealousy on Fang Erqing's face.
In fact, Zhao Minshan's promotion was not good news for her, but others did not know and only thought that she would have good luck in the future because of her father's status.
Zhao Fangyu still had an indifferent demeanor, as cold and aloof as the person in the painting, almost draining of human energy.
"Really? I don't know."
If Zhao Fangyu knew about this, the first thing he would probably think of is how to get rid of Zhao Minshan!
Zhao Fangyu helped to empty out the old tea and brew new tea.
"you are not happy?"
Erqing didn't understand. She was so happy that such a good thing happened to her.
Zhao Fangyu smiled perfunctorily: "I also have my own work to do. My family never told me about this, so I don't really care."
At least Zhao Minshan is neither dead nor disabled, and she still has a long way to go.
Fang Erqing felt bored and left in anger.
Soon, other people came to congratulate him. Fortunately, not many people knew the news. At the beginning, Fang Erqing said that he had told a few eunuchs about it. Zhao Fangyu later found people to knock on the door and give them silver to stop talking.
Among those who came to congratulate was Xiao Quanzi.
Xiao Quanzi and a few others brought a basket of charcoal to Zhao Fangyu with a smile on their faces.
They didn't say it so clearly, they just congratulated Zhao Fangyu's family on the good news.
"Sister, you don't have enough charcoal. Why don't you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs? We all came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It would be very convenient for us to get some charcoal."
Zhao Fangyu smiled, and there was some truth in his words: "I just don't want to trouble you for nothing."
Xiao Quanzi and the others immediately understood what was going on, and immediately laughed and said, "Sister, you don't understand. It's not easy to find a way into the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but we all serve the emperor, and they are the only ones who respect us."
"Sister, you are embarrassed to speak up. Just tell us in private. Our visit to the Ministry of Internal Affairs is like going home. Sister, you don't have to worry about anything else."
Zhao Fangyu looked at Xiao Quanzi who was laughing slyly beside him, and then looked at the young eunuchs who were on duty with Xiao Quanzi. He immediately realized that this matter was most likely initiated by Xiao Quanzi.
After a few words, everyone dispersed. Xiao Quanzi stayed and gave Zhao Fangyu a reassuring word: "Don't worry, Aunt Runyi. We all remember your kindness."
Zhao Fangyu: "..." What to remember? What did I do to be remembered?
