The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 296 Complaint
As the gold festival approached, Narb's mansion was bustling with activity, and the merchants along the coast sent a lot of things, hoping that these would become tributes.

"Master, the tribute has been delivered, please go to the front hall." Huang Ah came to Zarafin and said.

Zarafin's little faces got together, and before he had really read the ledger, something happened again.

After Zarafin got up, he walked to the flower hall first, and saw many people reporting to Lang Jiashi.

"Emiang, what's wrong with you?" Zarafin looked at Lang Jia and asked. "Huang Ah said that the tribute has been prepared, let's go there now."

"Go over and check, they are all trusted servants of our mansion." The Lang Jia family entrusted this matter to her to handle.

If it was the concubines, Lang Jia would rather be busy by herself than let them touch her.

"Okay!" Zarafin quickly got up and went to the front hall.

In the hall, the servants sat on the left and right sides one after another, and found that it was Zarafin who came over, not the Langjia family. They were very respectful, and they would not have any other ideas just because Zarafin was a girl. .

After Zarafin took his seat, the stewards one by one began to report the status of each voyage, and even talked about the surrounding situation.

"Master, this servant thinks that there must be some troubles in this matter, and I beg you to take care of it." The manager reached out and handed Zarafin a copybook, which actually contained a complaint Lists of the coastal yamen, these lists are unreasonable things that the government has collected.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Zarafin smiled: "The manager has worked hard. I will pass it on to Ama. The tribute will be placed in the hall first. Ama went to the garden and should be back around dinner."

"Leave it to Gege. The servant is of course assured. Tonight, the servant will set sail again with the fleet. I beg Gege to hand it over to the master and come back after two months. I hope that despite the above, it will not be so cumbersome." The manager He looked at Zarafin and asked.

Narbu was very tolerant of Zarafin. He went to visit the shops a few times, but Zarafin followed him. The stewards would never hide Zarafin in certain matters.

Zarafin's complexion became very ugly after seeing off these managers. These people are real moths. It would be better if Yongzheng could deal with them.

When she was following the list, she wished for a moment to go to Hongli and deal with all these people, but she completely denied it after just a moment of thought.

"Jiaojiao." Narbu walked into the front hall, saw that Zarafin was in a daze, and quickly called her out.

"Ama, look at this list. When the steward delivered the tribute, he said it was for you." Zarafin said directly.

Narb looked at the roster above and found that these officials explained that they were on business in Tianjin Port.

"Have you read the list?" Narb asked, looking at Zarafin.

"Yes, I've seen it, Ama, really?" Zarafin seldom cared about these things, and found that when he entered the customs, he needed to lose nearly [-]% of the things.

Narb stared closely at Zarafin, hoping to see what she meant.

"Ama, do you want to talk to the higher-ups?" Zarafin looked at Narbu and asked, "If you don't tell me, can the higher-ups forgive you after the incident?"

"Probably not." Narb said helplessly.

Zarafin fell silent, waiting for Narbu to make up his mind. Looking at the scenery outside the door, he thought about how to talk to the royal family about this matter. After all, it would be easier if the royal people intervened.

"Take this and follow me into the garden." Narbu came back very early, so there was enough time to take Zarafin back and forth to the garden.

Zarafin hurriedly walked towards the courtyard. If he entered the palace, he would have to wear ordinary clothes to enter the palace.

After changing his clothes, Zarafin accompanied Narbu in a carriage and headed for the Old Summer Palace.

In the garden, Yinzhen just got the news that Ulanara's ship was the first to dock, and the stewards had already prepared the things and sent them to the mansion.

While Yongzheng was thinking, Su Peisheng bowed in and told Yongzheng that Zarafin, the Narbu carrier, had arrived.

Yongzheng nodded to Su Peisheng, expressing that he invited the father and daughter to come in.

Zarafin walked in and saluted behind Narbu. She lowered her head and said nothing more.

On the way here, Narb told her the seriousness of the matter, and told her to just follow the news reported by the stewards, and there was no need to say anything else.

"Jiaojiao, who are the chief managers that you personally interviewed?" Yongzheng took a deep breath and asked Zarafin gently.

Zarafin nodded: "The stewards said that the people on the list received more things, basically [-]% of the transported goods were lost."

With a snap, Yongzheng threw the booklet in his hand on the table, his face darkened.

"Su Peisheng, bring me Prince Yi, Ninth Prince and Prince Dun." Yongzheng said directly.

When Zarafin heard this, he was secretly surprised. It turned out that Yinzhen had already entered the ranks of the person in charge of customs duties.

With a dark face, Yongzheng asked Zarafin a few questions, and he asked the two of them to sit at the side, waiting for news for a while.

The three princes came over, and after personally saluting Yongzheng, Yongzheng informed the three of them about the Ulanara mansion.

"Jiaojiao, the supervisors have said that other ports call at the port, is this also the problem?" Yinzhen was the first to react.

"Uncle Nine, the slaves usually only enter Tianjin Port, so I don't know the situation in other places." Zarafin said with his hands outstretched.

Yongzheng found that Zarafin could not answer, so he asked Su Peisheng to send her to Wanfang Anhe first, and stay with the queen later.

In the corridor, Zarafin watched the queen leading the nuns enjoying the cool air in the corridor, and hurried over.

"Jiaojiao, what happened?" The queen looked at Zarafin entering the palace, she was very strange, according to Zarafin's habit, she would definitely not enter the palace.

"Auntie." Zarafin looked at the servants beside the queen, and decided not to speak, so as not to leak the news.

The queen waved her hand, and all the servants left, and Zarafin approached the queen, whispering in her ear.

"You say it's true?" the queen asked, looking at Zarafin.

The servants of the mansion dare not talk nonsense at all, it must be an irreparable loss, otherwise, they will definitely report it to Narb.

"Well, I followed Ama into the garden, just to report this matter back and forth." Zarafin said quickly.

The queen patted the chair beside her and let Zarafin sit down first.

"Today, don't go back, wait until the Golden Festival and then go back." The queen believed that Yongzheng must have a deep meaning in keeping Zarafin.

Zarafin nodded: "Understood."
