The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 394 Find the Difference
At the end of the day, Yongzheng left Hongli and Zarafin here to stay, and brought the final results back to the garden, and he left with the queen.

Yongzheng couldn't stay outside for a long time, and the two days were the limit.

Hongli and Zarafin stood at the gate of the small courtyard and watched them leave. The figure of the carriage disappeared from their sight, and Hongli and Zarafin returned to the courtyard.

"Jiaojiao, haven't you noticed that the spring plowing in the village is obviously much later than other places?" Hongli said directly.

Zarafin nodded: "Ah, I found that the villagers seem to be familiar with it, so I didn't say a word."

Hongli took Zarafin around the room and went to the vegetable field at the back. She found that there were one or two greenhouses in the vegetable field behind every household, and there were not many vegetable seedlings in the open-air vegetable field.

"Jiaojiao, do you think there is a problem with the vegetable field here?" Hongli looked like this for a long time, and always felt that the villagers in this mountain village were very strange.

Last night, Yongzheng even called Hongli to his room and told Hongli that some villagers in the village looked normal but their eyes were empty. He asked Hongli to stay and be on guard all the time. By the way, investigate specific things clearly.

"Jiaojiao, try to avoid going to their houses when you come into contact with village women, and don't eat food from outsiders." Hongli had a feeling that he must have caught a big fish this time.

The village was found by Yongzheng in the past, and he has been coming here secretly for the past few years, even his opponents don't know about it, but this year there are some problems.

"Ah, do you mean that there are problems with everything in the entrance?" Zarafin asked, looking at Hongli.

Hongli nodded. Ordinarily, these words shouldn't cheer up Jiaojiao, but Yongzheng's hint made him afraid.

The queen was pregnant once before she came to the throne, but the month was less than 3 months, and it was not announced to the public. It happened to be during the spring plowing time, and she came with him, and within three days after returning, the child disappeared without a sound No more, this annoyed Yongzheng very much.

"Jiaojiao, Erniang was pregnant once, she just came here, and she had a miscarriage within three days of going back." Hongli said cautiously.

Yongzheng has been looking for the answer. The female relatives in the backyard were basically investigated. During those few days, no one could interfere. Therefore, Yongzheng set his sights on this small mountain village.

"Ah, you mean, there must be something wrong with this small mountain village?" Zarafin asked curiously.

"Well, I should say that, there will be traitors in the mountain village, and they will prescribe medicine while Er Niang is not paying attention." Hongli didn't take this child seriously. If he was born, he could be used as a helper. He has been under the queen's lap for a long time. , everyone regards him as the second son, and the position of the eldest son will always be Honghui's.

After hearing this, Zarafin shuddered all over. It turned out that there was such a big hidden danger behind the simple villagers.

"Ah, I understand." Zarafin took the order.

After a hasty breakfast, Zarafin accompanied Hongli to the field. Many people were very confused when they saw that Yongzheng hadn't come.

"Ama went to take care of some business matters and let me stay here." Hongli said directly.

"Your family is Han Chinese? How do you address them in Manchu?" A nearby villager became curious.

"I often deal with people in the banner, so I can only call them Ama and Erniang." Hongli remembered this person, and when he was going to go back, he must investigate carefully to prevent someone from making trouble.

Zarafin stood on the hillside, looking at the situation in the field, when she heard a woman's voice next to her ear, she immediately raised her vigilance.

"Young Madam, why did you come here today? I saw that you brought your slaves yesterday." Madam asked Zarafin.

"It was Er Niang who told me to exercise hard." Zarafin pursed her lips and said.

Since Zarafin has put on a special layered sole, the toe of the shoe is a small pointed toe, which makes outsiders think that she has small feet. This must be the standard equipment of the Han people.

During the time in the south, Zarafin did learn a lot.

"Ma'am, I see that your shoes are pretty good." Another village woman said.

Zarafin was glad that he didn't dislike being tired, and had been wearing special shoes all the time.

She gently tugged at the corner of the skirt, only revealing half of a pair of small shoes, making everyone look at the pair of lotus feet.

"Wouldn't it be tiring for you to walk on such a hillside without the support of your servants?" The women gathered around and asked quickly, looking at the lotus feet in front of them.

"It's very strenuous. When I went back, I felt like I was falling apart. However, I still have to continue to help. Er Niang specifically explained it before leaving." Zarafin's actions caught Hongli's eyes, and his heart rose. A lot of questions.

Why did the village women ask Zarafin to lift the corners of their skirts? According to the custom in the south, it is considered respect for others to show only half of their shoes.

"Okay, you'd better take a break. Here, only Mrs. Fu can have these little feet." The women spoke more and more easily.

The neighbor's lady looked at Zarafin and shook her head helplessly. She knew the truth, but the uncle said that he must help this family. Judging from their identities, they are definitely rich.

At two o'clock in the morning, Zarafin walked home step by step with a small basket, followed by many villagers. Zarafin deliberately walked around with the manner he had trained.

After returning to the living room, Zarafin hurriedly sat down on the chair. It was really tiring to walk back step by step.

"Huang, come with me later!" Zarafin half-closed his eyes, "Secretly take a pair of mille-layer bottoms and follow me to the dining room."

Huang'a obeyed Zarafin's order, took a new pair of mille-ply bottoms from the inner bedroom, and went to the dining room ahead of time, Zarafin walked into the kitchen, and only began to wash his hands when he felt that he had changed into shoes at a dead corner Cooking.

Zarafin started to make lunch in front of the stove, while Huang Ah clapped his little hands beside him, Pearl and Tortoiseshell stared at the movement outside one after the other.

At this moment, Zarafin could understand why Yongzheng and the empress left early. If they were here, the villagers would definitely not ask Hongli and her like this.

"Master, the sister-in-law of the Wu family is here." Tortoise said quickly.

Zarafin looked at the stove in the room where the skirt was covered, and there was absolutely no problem, and asked Huang Ah to hide the shoes.

"Young Madam, I already knew that your cooking skills are good, can you learn a trick today?" Sister-in-law Wu was shy, and she didn't know who urged her to come here.

"Sister-in-law Wu, this is not good. I learned it from the cook. If you are fine, go back and cook. If you don't, you won't even have lunch ready." Zarafin flatly refused.
