The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 652
In the afternoon, Zarafin leaned comfortably on the rattan chair, sitting in the corridor basking in the sun, while Su Lan and Su Zhu led the servants to sort out the vegetables in the wing room under the corridor.

Yesterday, Sanfujin was just released by Yongzheng, and the period of their confinement has come to an end.

The elders around followed Yongzheng's footsteps and confined the female relatives in the backyard. The concubines were all quiet and did not dare to make trouble outside.

"Master, you should go in for a rest first, the sun outside is getting hotter and hotter, I can't let you suffer too." Su Lan noticed that Zarafin's cheeks were slightly red from the sun.

"No, you have finished these vegetable seedlings. The vegetable seedlings that have been pulled out are put in new flower pots." Zarafin specially prepared several rich flower pots. From the outsiders' point of view, these were originally farmers' pots. If you do, the other female relatives despise Zarafin.

Ever since Zarafin’s courtyard started to grow vegetables, Ge Ge and Ge Ge didn’t come over anymore, even Jin Ge Ge and Su Ge Ge didn’t make any further moves.

"Master, leave these tasks to the servants. You are like the other princesses, be a female celebrity and play chess!" Suzhu worried that Yinzhen would feel that Zarafin's work was a bit out of place, so she quickly persuaded her .

Zarafin shook his head, Yinzhen never said much, but agreed with her actions.

"This can be regarded as cultivating the mind and character, so don't worry too much. Everyone else is copying Buddhist scriptures. I spent the winter in the palace for the first year, and I don't know anything about the situation. The rest of the female family members are different!" Zarafin will prepare a lot of things in advance , well-prepared, don't panic when things happen.

Su Lan found that Zarafin was a little sentimental, so she quickly persuaded her.

"Jiaojiao, why are you so sad?" Hongli walked in from the outside, just in time to hear Zarafin's words.

"Ah, you don't want people to report it." Zarafin said angrily.

He laughed out loud, Su Peisheng stood under the corridor, waiting for the call of the two masters, while Su Lan and Su Zhu began to process the vegetable seedlings.

"Why do you want to grow vegetable seedlings in the wing room?" Hongli wondered, the other female relatives were all planting expensive flowers and plants.

Zarafin’s courtyard is full of food. In summer, the grapes on the vines are ripe. Before autumn, Zarafin even picked a lot of grapes and brewed some wine.

"Of course, these wing rooms have floor heating. They can grow vegetables in winter and add more greens to the table. I don't know if it will be successful." Zarafin was somewhat uncertain.

After hearing Zarafin's words, Hongli not only smiled.

"Ah, would you like to see if it can be successful?" Zarafin pursed his lips, preparing to get support from Hongli.

"Yes, if you want to try it, I also support it. In winter, I will ask Gao Wuyong to send some coal, so that you will have enough coal for the winter." Hongli promised.

"Thank you, Hun!" Zarafin jumped up and saluted Hongli.

"In winter, your silver charcoal will be limited. I will give you some more. This is to ensure the use of the courtyard where you live and the heater when you go out. For you in the wing room, you can burn bamboo charcoal. Those are more useful and burn for a long time. , and there are a lot of them.” Hongli made arrangements for Zarafin early on, “Besides, rewarding silver in winter will cost a lot!”

Zarafin nodded quickly. In winter, little Suras will definitely start to arrange good things for the festival, and all places must start to prepare.

"Remember, little Sula from the Imperial Dining Room and the House of Internal Affairs will be rewarded for everything she does!" Hongli lowered his voice and taught Zarafin.

Those people are the most tiring, and if they can be arranged, these people are also the most useful. The delivery of coal and other items are all personally selected by these little Sula. They know that the coal is better, and those are problematic.

"Understood, when it comes to winter, do you need to prepare something for the festival?" Zarafin asked.

Every year during the holidays, Zarafin spends a little time preparing. At most, after cleaning the house thoroughly, he buys some sumptuous meals.

"Jiaojiao, you should prepare more. During the Chinese New Year, except for the banquets on the [-]th and [-]th day, you will spend in the courtyard. During that time, I was busy and I didn't have time to come and see you!" Hongli said. said with a sigh.

Brothers are going to do sacrifices and other activities. During the Chinese New Year, they have to deal with the ministers. They are busier than usual, which makes them very annoyed.

"Okay, I understand!" Zarafin hurriedly agreed, resolutely not to cause trouble for Yinzhen.

Hongli laughed, Zarafin was smart and knew how to arrange it.

With Zarafin's guarantee, he looked down the corridor. Those green vegetable seedlings were all Zarafin's winter stuff. In the imperial dining room, except for the queen and Yongzheng, no one else could guarantee it. There were so many of them. Vegetables to eat.

Zarafin here can guarantee that when the Chinese New Year comes, it is better to use these green vegetables as a New Year gift.

"Master, will it be a problem for me to give these as New Year's gifts?" Zarafin hoped to save as much money as possible, because the New Year's expenses were too much.

"Well, it's good if you think so, green vegetables must be scarce, don't look at this thing is worthless now, in winter, the distribution may be cut off!" Hongli said with emotion.

The life of the royal family is better than that of the common people. In winter, cabbage is used, and most of the stews are dried vegetables. Even if there are fresh vegetables, they are also used by Kangxi and Yongzheng.

Uh uh uh!
Zarafin was stunned, it turned out that the life of the royal family is also so difficult!
"From now on, I will prepare like this every year!" Zarafin promised, patting his chest.

This year, she has explored the way, and next year, she will prepare more!
"Okay!" Yinzhen smiled, and Yinzhen's eyeliner must also be paying attention to the movement here.

If it is as expected, at the end of summer next year, many people will come to learn how to grow vegetables with Zarafin.

"Grandpa, what should I prepare for the New Year?" Zarafin didn't know the things for the New Year, except for the exquisite palace clothes prepared by Zhizao Mansion, some purses on his body, etc., he had to prepare by himself.

"You have to prepare those purses and handkerchiefs, and prepare a sapphire blue purse for my grandfather. There are auspicious patterns embroidered on it. When the Chinese New Year, my grandfather will stay out and prepare a blue silver purse. That is for offering sacrifices. Use it!" Yinzhen handed over the opportunity of two purses to Zarafin directly.

Every year, Yinzhen will find a female family member to do it, which is regarded as an honor for the female family member. Fujin only made a purse for the gold festival once, and Li Gege made the rest.

Zarafen's female celebrity learned from Suzhou's embroiderer, and she is proficient in double-sided embroidery. Yinzhen's purse is basically made by Zarafen, and the rest of the brothers are very envious when they see his purse.

"Master, Fujin will make the purse for the Gold Awarding Festival?" Zarafin understands that the purse for the New Year is very important, and the purse for the Gold Awarding Festival is very important.

"Well, it's okay." Yinzhen also knew that Zarafin was under too much pressure.

Fujin and the two princesses were very dissatisfied with Zarafin for taking all of this.
