The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 602

The autumn sun shines on the grape racks, Zarafin leans on the deck chair, and looks up the grapes that are already on the grape racks. After a while, he should be able to make some wine.

"Tortoise, prepare the ladder, we are ready to pick grapes!" Zarafin glanced at the grapes and decided to pick them directly.

"Master, this is something that belongs to the royal family. We definitely can't cut it all off." Huobi was a little worried. After all, the villa was a product of Yongzheng. If Hongli moved something, there might be some troubles.

Zarafin responded silently, the tortoise shell was right to worry, if they didn't get it right, they might directly cause trouble for Hongli, and Hongshi had always hoped to grasp Hongli's handle.

"Let's talk about it when the master comes back!" Zarafin lived comfortably in the villa, and forgot that the courtyard was only a borrowing, not a product of Hongli.

Seeing that Zarafin gave up the idea of ​​picking grapes, Tortoise felt relieved.

After dinner, Zarafin approached Hongli with a teacup, with a flattering smile on his face, he felt a little strange, how could the little girl have such a smile?

"Xiaoguai, what do you want?" Hongli has some understanding of Zarafin's preferences, and she knows how to measure, so he will encourage him to meet Zarafin's request.

After Zarafin heard it, the smile on his face deepened.

"Master, I want to pick some grapes to make wine and grape juice. I saw a lot of grapes on the grape shelf. If I don't cause you any trouble, I will pick some grapes tomorrow." Zarafin laughed said back.

When she was talking, she kept looking at him with her eyes, and those lively eyes made Hongli feel very good.

"Well, the idea of ​​grapes is okay, but grapes are not very delicious. After autumn, these grapes will rot and will be used as fertilizer." Hongli still remembers that Nianfei lived here, and they also used some grapes Yes, in the end, because the taste of the grapes was very bad, Concubine Nian didn't say much.

real? !
Zarafin didn't believe it, those grapes looked good, even, each one was juicy, and the raw material of wine didn't have to be very sweet grapes.

"Master, these things that no one wants, it won't be a problem if I use some of them?" Zarafin double-checked, if she finds a problem, she still has a way to say more.

"En!" Hongli nodded.

In the early morning, it was rare for Zarafin to get up early. After having breakfast with Hongli, he sat lazily on the rattan chair, holding a four-book in his hand, and occasionally glanced at it.

At this time, all his attention was focused on Zarafin. After the little girl had breakfast, she directed the tortoise shell and pearl to carry the wooden ladder. She climbed up the ladder herself and picked grapes.

"Little boy, you come down first, just let the servants do it!" Hongli was worried that Zarafin would be injured, but he couldn't stop it. The wine and grape juice made by the little girl were not intended to be used alone.

"Master, I will be careful!" Zarafin said not to care, after all, if she picks them herself, she can feel more at ease.

Tortoiseshell and Pearl stood under the ladder holding the frame, and bunches of grapes were thrown into the frame. Zarafin found that these grapes were not damaged after being thrown into the frame.

"Gao Wuyong, go get some blue-and-white porcelain pots." Zarafin planned to do it in front of Hongli, and these elder brothers would definitely not rest assured of things they made in private.

Zarafin's crisp voice brought a smile to Hongli's face, and followed her into a fuss.

"Slow down, I can do it with you today!" Hongli didn't mind.

In the eyes of the slaves, Hongli was annoyed and indulged Zarafin, and no one of the female family members dared to touch other mansions.

"Master, is it true?" Zarafin asked in surprise.

Hongli is very busy every day, and Zarafin is rarely by his side. Today, his abnormal behavior made her a little curious.

"We can't eat the brewed stuff alone, we have to share some!" Hongli looked at Zarafin and explained.

"Master, this is the first time I make it. What if it doesn't taste good?" Zarafin hesitated. If it is given to someone else, it must be of the best quality.

Hongli didn't care, and sent a copy in front of the emperor and Yongzheng, which is considered filial piety.

As for whether the food they sent was delicious, that was out of consideration.

Every year, the Western Regions would send some wine and grape juice. There were so many of these things in the palace that they didn't need them at all, so Hongli didn't care at all.

"It's almost ready, you wash it and send it over!" Zarafin decided to divide all the grapes into two parts, one part was made into grape juice, and the other part was made into wine.

These two prescriptions were carefully prepared by Zarafin, and they have been done countless times in modern times.

During the day, Zarafin mobilized a lot of servants and asked them to help make nearly thirty catties of grapes into wine and grape juice, and put the sealed jars at the foot of the wall one by one.

The movement in the courtyard was a bit big, and many people were asking what happened.

In the early morning of the next day, Hongli was announced by Yongzheng early and asked Hongli what he had done yesterday. Hongli did not hide anything, but directly said that Zarafen saw that the grapes were ripe and wanted to make some wine and grape juice.

However, they couldn't guarantee the taste.

After hearing this, Yongzheng waved his hand indifferently and let Hongli go out first.

From the eyes of the censors, such a big move by Hongli was obviously plotting something.

When Hongli came back, Zarafen just pursed his lips and smiled after hearing Hongli's words.

"Let's act more aggressively, these people will start to cause trouble!" Zarafin was annoyed, and outsiders didn't know, and he was going to make all kinds of troubles to deal with Hongli.

"It's okay, let's do our own, does it have anything to do with them?" Hongli also reported to Yongzheng, what else could Yongzheng say?
After hearing Hongli's words, Zarafen felt instantly relieved. Hongli was not in trouble, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Soon, word spread about Zarafin's involvement in wine making. In the huge villa, the women's family members felt that Zarafin was using his interests and always wanted to make trouble.

After breakfast, as soon as Zarafin went to the study to copy scriptures, two or three female family members came over, saying that they wanted to pay her respects, but in fact, they came to inquire about information, hoping to get a prescription for wine.

The grape juice brewed by Zarafin has been successful, and it was sent to the emperor and Yongzheng. The emperor and Yongzheng were very satisfied, and they directly told Hongli that all the grapes on the grape rack were rewarded to Zarafin, so that She can prepare more.

Hongli brought back good news, but she fell directly into trouble. Since then, Zarafin has never had a peaceful day, and there are always people talking behind her back.

With the passage of time, so many people came every day, Zarafin became more and more irritable, and directly complained to Hongli several times, but Hongli was powerless to stop him. After all, the villa is not Hongli's other courtyard. .

"Tortoise, go out and say that I'm copying Buddhist scriptures and don't have time to entertain people!" Zarafin knew in his heart that if he didn't speak forcefully, these people might fall on deaf ears.

Tortoise went out, ready to talk to the female relatives, Zarafin has been busy brewing wine and grape juice for the past few days, and his body can be said to be extremely exhausted. Hongli said beforehand, I hope Zarafin can take a rest as soon as possible , Don't receive the rest of the female relatives anymore.
