The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 659

In the evening, every household in the village was filled with smoke. Su Lan and Su Zhu deliberately followed Zarafen's recipe and began to prepare dinner. All the vegetable ingredients were prepared by themselves.

Hongli asked Erlu and Bayan to take a look at the vegetables in the backyard. Sure enough, there was something wrong with everything there.

"Master, the food we prepared is only enough for two days, we can't go back after eating, right?" Zarafin looked at the bottom of the frame and became anxious.

Hongli, however, seemed to have a plan in mind and was not in a hurry.

After dinner, Zarafin wrinkled his small face, and sat on the soft bed with his arms around his knees. Kangxi said beforehand that the female relatives must bear these things when they go on tour.

"Tomorrow is the day for them to go to the market, and the rice is almost harvested!" Hongli laughed.

He deliberately chose the best time, and brought Zarafin over several times. They stayed here for a while, and it wouldn't cause a gap in their mouths.

"Really!" Zarafin looked at Hongli in surprise.

She should have done some homework, but she was spoiled by Hongli, so she forgot these preparations in advance.

He got up and walked to the bed, and pinched her little nose. Two days ago, Hongli calculated the time and planned to take her for a leisurely stroll around the market.

There was an accident at the temple fair, and Zarafin hadn't enjoyed the game at all, so Hongli wanted to make up for it.

"Is it the big harvest after the harvest?" Zarafin heard from the servants in the villa that every year after the autumn harvest, there is a big harvest. Which one is the most anticipated.

Hongli nodded, and Zarafin was going to sleep early, get up early tomorrow, and go shopping with him in Daji.

As soon as it was dawn, Zarafin opened her eyes. She turned her head to look at the sleeping Hongli, and couldn't help but cheer up.

"Master, let's get up quickly. After breakfast, we will rush to the Daji place, which just happens to be open!" Zarafin whispered in Hongli's ear.

Hongli was in a daze, and when he heard Zarafin's words, he felt happy. Every time he went out to play, Zarafin would wake up early.

"No need!" He turned over, pressed Zarafin directly under him, leaned over and kissed her tender lips, "It's still early."

After a morning exercise, Zarafin lay limp on the bed, with dissatisfaction shining in his almond eyes.

Hongli was full of energy, wearing a morning coat, and sat beside the bed.

"Jiaojiao, sleep again, we don't have to go so early." Hongli got up and drank a glass of warm water, and came back to hug her and prepare to fall asleep.

"Master, I'm tired!" Zarafin found a comfortable position in his arms, and fell asleep again in a daze.

Hongli patted her bare back, bowed his head and kissed the top of her hair.

The tip of his nose smelled a scent of roses. Zarafin took a bath every day and used rose essential oil to maintain his hair.

At dawn, Hongli woke up Zarafin. With Zheng Kai's eyes, with Su Lan's support, she quickly washed and washed, and the cold water made her wake up instantly.

"Master, how about using the cloisonne bat birthday mask?" Su Lan quickly pulled a small pair of heads, and asked Zarafin which set of head masks to use.

"You don't need to pin the big birthday peach hairpins, just this small set of gold hairpins!" They had better use delicate and lightweight ones when they were going out shopping. The price starts from the ground.

According to Zarafin's wishes, Su Lan fastened the little gold hairpin and painted her a delicate makeup.

After breakfast, Zarafin sat in the carriage with Hongli and wobbled towards the Daji location.

Today, she went for a long-distance run in Hongli's royal blue book, and wore a pink-blue uniform with a pattern of birthday peaches embroidered on the hem and sleeves.

Outside, the female family members basically wear plain clothes like this. Except for the female family members who are extremely wealthy, otherwise, there is no chance to wear such plain clothes, and the bottom of the feet is replaced by the same color.

"Jiaojiao, I need to make a few more pieces of this dress before it comes out!" Hongli was very satisfied with Zarafin's disguise.

Zarafin pursed his lips and said, "Master, I have prepared several sets."

After finishing the words, Zarafin leaned her little head on his shoulder, and the bustling sounds on both sides of the street made her suddenly curious.

"Master, this place is really lively. In the past, the place where we went to the market was not as lively as this place." Zarafin said with emotion.

This is also the case in other places. During the big market after the harvest, the common people sold the grain they planted and got a lot of silver taels, and planned to spend some as rewards.

"Besides, the things are more abundant?!" Zarafin approached the window and found that the things on the stall had become more abundant. There were a lot of seasonal things, and even some dried seafood.

Those are the sea fish left by the fishermen after fishing, and finally dried into dried fish.

"Grandpa, let's buy some of these and go back. We can still eat them often after returning to Beijing." Zarafin was not sure. After returning to Beijing, all their things would be distributed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the ratio, Zarafin thought It is understandable to take more home with you.

"Did you pack the suitcase?" Their round-trip luggage must not exceed the stipulated number.

"Of course, when I came here, I also brought a lot of food, and those are already empty." Zarafin nodded.

"Buy!" Hongli also understood that these things were scarce in the palace, and the imperial dining room would definitely not hand them over to the palaces.

Zarafin pursed his lips and smiled, he ate well outside, worried that Mi would have the opportunity to eat a lot after returning home.

Harvest Market, as the name suggests, is a market that will only be held after the autumn harvest. Every household brings out their best things, hoping to exchange silver taels directly.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the bazaar. After the two got out of the car, they found that the bazaar was already full of people, and the stalls on both sides of the street were neatly arranged.

"Jiaojiao, see if there is anything you want to buy later!" Hongli was going to accompany Zarafin for a stroll.

Soon, Zarafin focused on buying a lot of dried seafood, and she already had these recipes in mind.

"Master, what do you want to buy?" Zarafin prepared food, while Hongli bought a few ordinary toys and prepared to take them back to other female relatives.

When Hongli went out, he would definitely bring some souvenirs for the female relatives, even if the things were not very expensive, it was his wish.

She walked behind Hongli, seeing that Gao Wuyong had more and more things in his hands, Bayan didn't see his clothes, and she would definitely not help Hongli.

"Bayan, go help Gao Wuyong." Zarafin finally said worriedly.

Bayan walked over and took all the things in Gao Wuyong's hands. Gao Wuyong instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Your physique is not good!" Bayan complained Gao Wuyong.

The sunset appeared in the sky, and Hongli took Zarafin slowly back along the village road, and the two of them strolled along the country road one after the other.

"Master, the air here is really good!" Zarafin pursed her lips into a smile, and she became more and more relaxed here, as if she could truly blend in here.

Even though they didn't go to the fields to farm, as if they were outsiders, they were able to let go of the boulder in their hearts in the shortest possible time.

"Of course, the countryside doesn't have as many turmoil as the capital, so the mood has changed!" When Hongli came out, he was still dressed and frowning.

When he returned in the evening, he was relieved.

In Fengjiu Market, Hongli found that the common people were all happy, no matter how poor the family was, they did not look sad. Their happiness was very simple, as long as they could eat enough and wear warm clothes.

The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, walking here, the people passing by were discussing how much grain the family could sell this time, and how much money they could earn when the harvest came.

Arriving at the courtyard, the landlord was going to come to see the house, but was stopped by the guards outside, saying that the house had been rented out to them, and it was clearly stated in the contract that they could not come here at will.

After the bed-climbing incident happened next to Hongjun, Hongli paid more attention to these things, and resolutely never let the landlord come over again.

After all, the landlord has two daughters who are in their prime. Zarafin has a high status, but he can't manage things around Hongli.

"Jiaojiao, let's go in first!" After Hongli came over, he led Zarafin directly into the courtyard without even looking at the landlord.

Seeing his appearance, the landlord became even more anxious. The fact that the village chief's daughter was able to marry into such a good family was all because of the face of the nobles who lived there.

Her daughter is definitely not as bad as the village chief's daughter, so why doesn't this person in his family have any intention of marrying her?

"I have something to do with your master!" The landlord didn't give up, and wanted to ask Hongli, why did the two brothers behave so differently?
Bayan frowned, watching what the landlord was going to do.

"Is there something to do here?" Bayan took a deep breath and asked the landlord in a calm tone.

"Is that the case with the village chief's daughter? My two daughters are also good!" After the landlord's voice fell, the guards around were stunned.

The landlord's face is not good-looking, and her daughter should not be good-looking either.

"This is not a question you should ask. Some things must not happen again, otherwise, your village will be affected!" The guards all had their own ideas, and they said directly to the landlord.

In the eyes of others, what Hongli did was right. If Hongli could help the landlord to solve the problem, that would be fine. If he didn't help, then they were wrong.

"What?!" The landlord was stunned. It turned out that they were already playing with fire?

The landlord's husband came out, just in time to hear Bayan's last warning, nodded and bowed quickly, said something nice to Bayan, grabbed the landlord and left.

The voice of the landlord being scolded could still be heard from the direction they left, as if the landlord's husband thought that the landlord didn't want them to have a good time.

The landlord was annoyed. The reason why she did this was not for the benefit of her own daughter.

"If you do this, we will definitely be implicated. Do you really think that the daughters will have a better life?" The landlord's husband was annoyed, and hurriedly warned the landlord when he went back. If he appeared there again, don't blame him for being ruthless.

"Why? Our daughter is not bad!" The landlord looked at her husband with anger in his heart, "The two of them are obviously brothers, and the way they do things is too different!"

After hearing her husband's scolding, the landlord didn't dare to do anything extra, for fear that her husband would do something.

"Those guards are already warning you. Don't the people in the village stop talking about it? They don't dare to talk about it anymore. Those who are provoked will definitely implicate the people in the village." The landlord's The husband said helplessly, he sat on the kang, looked at the pipe and said.

At this time, Hongli listened to Bayan's report and understood in his heart that it was only her husband who came to beg for mercy, and hoped not to blame the landlord.

Zarafin stood aside with warm tea, and sneered in his heart. The villagers really did not give up. Seeing that Hongli was still writing in the village, they quickly put all their attention on her.

"Jiaojiao, starting tomorrow, let's stay here for two days and don't go out!" Hongli wanted to take revenge once and for all. If the landlord came to make trouble again, it just gave them an excuse.

Not going out again? !
After hearing this, Zarafin obediently agreed on the surface, but in his heart he complained and was restrained again this time.

"The day after tomorrow, let's go hunting on the back mountain!" Hongli wanted to go hunting on the mountain. There are two different atmospheres here and in the paddock.

Zarafin blinked his almond eyes and looked excited, finally able to go out.

After two days of long waiting, Zarafin sat in the carriage and accompanied Hongli to the forest behind the village. The village chief warned Hongli that there would be many wild animals in the dense forest. If he did not take precautions , and possibly get lost.

Before the action, Erlu directly dispatched two guards to inquire about Hongli's itinerary, so that Hongli could go there with peace of mind.

"Master, how long will it take us to get there?" Zarafin asked in a low voice.

The distance to the back of the mountain is basically a sheep farm path. There will be some bumps and bumps when walking with such a large carriage. Fortunately, the structure of the carriage is very well explained, otherwise, the carriage will definitely fall apart completely.

"About half an hour!" Hongli leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes, "Did you sleep well yesterday?"

At midnight yesterday, the landlord's eldest daughter almost didn't climb over the wall to come in. The guards saw it and quickly stopped her from climbing over the wall. Although they handled it very low-key, they still heard some noisy voices.

"No, I was disturbed by those quarrels." Zarafin pouted, feeling even more uncomfortable. "We all warned them, why would anyone do this?"

Hongli patted her on the back. Of course, those people would not let it go when they saw the wealth. On the surface, it was for the good of their daughter. The son is here.

"It's for the sake of the family, and it's expected to sell my daughter!" Hongli whispered to Zarafin.

In the village, there are many situations where sons are preferred to daughters. Daughters have been indoctrinated since childhood, and must sacrifice for the family. Therefore, so many people enter the palace one after another. In order to get the favor of the nobles, they even have to Began to use whatever means.

Zarafin sighed, what Hongli said was very true.
