The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 673
As night fell, Wei Shi sat in the tent, and the three maids accompanying him packed up things according to Wei Shi's instructions. Madam Teng hasn't come back yet, and Wei Shi has been waiting in the tent all afternoon.

"Ziying, go to the tent of the House of Internal Affairs to see Nanny Teng." Seeing that Nanny Teng didn't show up, Wei's patience disappeared little by little, and was going to take the opportunity to find out the reality of the aristocratic family in the House of Internal Affairs.

The Wei family has not sent any news for many days, and Mrs. Wei's heart is always in turmoil, worrying that he will be abandoned by the family.

"My lord, this servant is going to bring you food, and by the way, bring back Madam Teng." The little maid couldn't stand such a low pressure, and finally chose to take the risk of carrying food.

"Go." Wei Guiren nodded.

In front of the tent in the imperial dining room, Ling Lan brought Zhang Desheng together, and she was very curious to see Ziying who was beside Wei Guiren coming.

Wei Guiren's slaves rarely come to carry meals, and they are basically brought back by Madam Teng.

"Ziying, did you come to pick up the food today? Why didn't Mother Teng come?" Ling Lan asked suspiciously.

"Sister Linglan, Zhang Wenda!" Ziying greeted the two politely. "The master has a bad temper today, so the servant came to carry the meal, which is considered to be an escape." Ziying said playfully, "Nurse Teng has not been at the tent, and the servant will go to the tent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Zhang Desheng, help Ziying go and look for it, there are all eunuchs there, don't let people bully Ziying." Ling Lan said,

"Can you do it yourself here?" Zhang Desheng looked at Ling Lan and asked.

Lily of the Land is a warm-hearted person, Ziying is not a personal servant like this, she will help out more or less, hoping to have a good relationship.

There has never been a hundred-day red in the palace's favor. They try their best to be considerate, and if Zarafin occasionally feels down, they can help.

"Thank you, Sister Linglan." Ziying was very grateful.

If Lily Lan didn't help, Ziying wouldn't bother Zhang Desheng. Facing Xiao Sula from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she felt something was wrong all over her body.

Zhang Desheng took Ziying to the tent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and heard the little Suras chatting, so Zhang Desheng went in first.

"Brother Zhang, why are you here?" The little Sulas saw Zhang Desheng approaching, and hurriedly got up to greet him, "This handsome little maid."

The little Sulas kept looking at Ziying, and Zhang Desheng took a step sideways, directly blocking everyone's sight.

"This is Ziying next to Wei Guiren. Sister Linglan said, this child is young, let me come and help her, so that you old fritters don't bully people." Zhang Desheng has a good relationship with these people, and he is in Concubine Tong is serving by his side, and these people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will sell his face.

Ziying stood behind Zhang Desheng, watched Zhang Desheng's every move, and secretly sighed in her heart, favor and power can change more people, if she hadn't followed Zhang Desheng, Ziying knew that she would definitely be molested.

"Nurse Teng has already gone back, don't you know?" Little Sula looked at Zhang Desheng and said, "Nurse Teng said that we still need to go back to take care of the nobleman, so we didn't stop him."

what? !

Ziying quickly shook her head: "If Nanny Teng goes back, the master will definitely not let me come."

The little Suras shrugged: "I don't know."

Ziying looked at them helplessly, and knew in her heart that Nanny Teng might have taken the opportunity to leave, but Mrs. Wei was still waiting for Nanny Teng to go back.

"Go and see first, is Nanny Teng really gone back, if not, she should report to Mrs. Wei." Zhang Desheng said.

Ziying had no choice but to leave together with Zhang Desheng. At the door of the dining room, Ziying saw that Lily Lan had already helped carry the meals, and she was very grateful.

"Thank you Wenda and Sister Linglan for your help." Ziying hurriedly saluted.

"If you have something to do, just come to us!" Ling Lan said hastily.

The two sent Ziying away, and Linglan looked at Zhang Desheng, who gave her a look.

Back in the tent, Zhang Desheng hurriedly reported what the servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had said, and Zarafin suddenly became strange. Unexpectedly, Nanny Teng left.

"Didn't you find this in the camp?" Zarafin said directly.

Zhang Desheng shook his head: "Back to the master, Ziying has to go to pick up the meal, so she didn't go to look for it at all."

"You send a little Sula to wait outside Wei Guiren's tent. If Ziying comes out to look for it, you can send someone to help." Zarafen needs to be aware of Wei Guiren's actions at all times, so Ziying should be a very Good breakthrough.

"Hey." Zhang Desheng took the order and left.

Zarafin sat cross-legged at the table, looking at the meals on the Kang table, he really lost his appetite.

"Has Lord Long Live eaten?" Zarafen wanted to wait for Qianlong to come back to eat together.

"Return to the master, Lord Long Live let me tell you that I want you to eat first, and there are still some things that need to be dealt with in the previous court." Tortoise shell replied.

Zarafen picked up the ivory hairpin and ate it slowly. There was a mess going to Mrs. Wei. She heard from Ziying that Nanny Teng disappeared after only going to the House of Internal Affairs. Very bad.

"Ziying, hurry up and look for it. If you don't have it, go to Wei's house and look for it." Wei Guiren looked at the accident in front of him, and was a little surprised. Today's meal is not bad, and the dishes are basically Wei Guiren's favorite.

"Master, servant girl is going now!" Ziying looked at Wei Guiren with bright eyes, and hurriedly found an excuse to go back.

Wei Guiren half-closed his eyes, looked at Ziying's leaving back, and felt confused. Nurse Teng had always been loyal, why did she suddenly betray her today?

"Master, this servant looks at Ziying with all her heart. Some time ago, this servant heard that the master found a wife for Nanny Teng's son." Zikui hurriedly reported.

"Which son is it?" Wei Guiren hurriedly asked.

"Back to the master, which one is not so good." Zikui said.

Nanny Teng has a child who became a fool when he had a fever when he was young. Over the years, Nanny Teng has begged his master to make decisions for this son, and even set his sights on Zikui and Ziying. Just ask the master to grant marriage.

Not far from the tent, Ziying happened to see little Sula arranged by Zhang Desheng, and the two ran to a secret corner while there was no one there.

"Sister Ziying, Wenda said that if you need help, I can find someone to help you secretly." Little Sula said in a low voice.

"Okay!" Ziying nodded, staying by Wei Guiren's side, it is better to seek refuge with Tong Guifei as soon as possible, so that she can take advantage of the opportunity to escape.

When she first entered the palace, the family had nothing to do with it, otherwise, no one would have wanted her to enter the palace.

"You wait!" Little Sula ran away directly.

The imperial army was walking deep into the grassland and passed the county town along the road. Qianlong ordered people to be stationed outside the city, and sent people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go to the county town to buy in person. Zarafen's servants also passed by.

After breakfast, Zarafin wore a peach-pink short coat and long skirt, with a set of curly heads rolled up on her head, and a set of hibiscus stones on her head.

"Ah, what do you think of this mask?" Zarafen turned around in front of Qianlong, "It's one of the 100 sets of masks you specially prepared for me before you left Beijing."

"Do you like it?" Qianlong took advantage of his free time to draw a lot of jewelry, and specially asked the inner-made people to drive them out secretly.

"Of course, Hun, don't you say that people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will go shopping in the county these days?" Zarafen looked at Qianlong and said, "I want to go for a walk in the county, Hun, come with me ?”

The servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are making purchases, and Zarafin has sent his own people to investigate in person, and found that some of the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have begun to lie about the situation.

"Okay!" Qianlong put down the brush in his hand, and prepared to take Zarafen to the county town together. "Li Dequan, tell Tu Lichen to come over, and you will wait by Yu Huan's side."

"Yes!" Li Dequan went out to give Qianlong's orders.

Later, Qianlong went out with his guards, and Zarafin stepped on his small leather boots, following Qianlong step by step.

"Zalafen, look at the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are here." Qianlong looked at Zarafen and said, "Look at the people, there is no smile on their faces, don't you think this is already very strange Yet?"

"Let's go and ask." Zarafin walked over, looked at some vegetables, and hurriedly picked them up, "Old man, how do you sell these?"

"These piles are worth 2 copper coins. Vegetables are very easy to sell these days. Basically, they are worth 2 copper coins. In the past, they could not be sold at all." The stall owner said directly.

"Someone bought them all." Zarafin looked at the tortoise shell and said, "Master, if there are any vegetables at home, I'll wrap them up."

Qianlong stood far away, staring at Zarafin's actions: "Tulichen sent people from Longwei to investigate carefully to see if anyone is fishing in troubled waters in the county."

Tu Lichen sent two guards to leave, and specially arranged for someone to conduct a secret investigation, hoping not to catch the handle of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Ah, look, I bought a lot of vegetables, and I prepared something for you today." Zarafen moved closer to Qianlong, and said cheerfully.

"Okay, I'll wait to eat what you prepared today." Qianlong readily agreed, and let's go ahead to buy something else.

Qianlong saw that there were a few compradors from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were buying things wantonly. Hearing that someone even lowered the price, he looked at Tu Lichen, and was about to ask someone to go over and talk about it.

"Ah, this is the business, the money should not be a loss." Zarafin poked Qianlong and said.

No one's copper coins are easy to earn. If everyone has a unified price, it will be too much. These people will definitely wait for the arrival of the army and will no longer produce and sell themselves.

The two walked slowly on the commercial street, and Zarafin specially asked people to buy a lot of food.

"Let's go back quickly and eat noodles with fried sauce today." Zarafin rarely had time to cook meals, and now, she has this kind of leisure.

Qianlong took Zarafin and left the street together, with a smile on his face: "We are stationed outside the city today, what you bought is enough for a long time."

"The food is fresh, let's eat it, and all the rest will be made into bacon." Zarafin specially brought two cooks who make bacon, just to help.

Back in the imperial tent, Qianlong went to the imperial tent to listen to Tu Lichen's report, while Zarafen took Lily Lan and the others to the dining room.

In the imperial dining room, I found a lot of raw materials on the table of the imperial chefs. The royal chefs used the method of their hometown to preserve these green vegetables.

Seeing Zarafin appearing at the door, the royal cooks quickly put down the things in their hands and bowed to salute Zarafin.

"Come on, all of you, I remember that there should be people from here among you?" Zarafin asked as he looked at the imperial cooks who came out with him.

"Your lord, this is where the slaves come from," Song Yuchu came out, knelt on the ground and looked at Zarafen, "According to the current weather, it may take a while before there are more vegetables. .”

"According to what Song Yuchu said," Zarafen ordered, "Song Yuchu, entered the depths of the grassland, didn't you?"

"Master Hui, you don't know that if you enter the grassland at this moment, it is the time when the earth rejuvenates, and a large number of war horses eat pasture, it will definitely not be enough." Song Yuchu said.

When Zarafen heard Song Yuchu's words, he couldn't help feeling worried. The horses were all there, and Qianlong and the others even planned to let the cavalry go first.

"Put down what you're doing now, and follow me to Longzhuo." Zarafin said directly.

Song Yuchu was stared at by his colleagues for a while, and the manager instantly woke up, telling him to follow Concubine Tong quickly.

In the imperial tent, Qianlong was meeting with the ministers, Li Dequan saw Zarafen approaching, and rushed to meet him.

"My lord, why did you come here today?" Li Dequan became suspicious.

"There are some things that need to be discussed with Ah Hun, you should report to outsiders now." Zarafin said.

"You wait in the side hall for a while, the master will not see the foreign ministers again after seeing these people." Li Dequan said.

Zarafin nodded and took Song Yuchu to the side hall.

Li Dequan returned to Qianlong's side and told Qianlong that Zarafen was waiting in the side hall, and Qianlong quickly dismissed the courtiers.

"Zalafen, why did you come to the Yuzhang?" Qianlong was surprised. Two days ago, Zarafen said that he wanted to avoid suspicion, so he definitely would not come to the Yuzhang.

"Ah, it's about preparing food and grass." Zarafen looked at Song Yuchu and gave him an encouraging look.

Qianlong saw Zarafin's eyes and quickly covered them with his hands.

"Don't let me see you encouraging other men again." Qianlong warned.

"Ah Hun, hurry up and listen, this person is a local, he can give us a lot of advice." Zarafin said coquettishly.

In front of Qianlong, Zarafen seldom rushed to the front, but every time he muttered to the side to give Qianlong some warnings.

Song Yuchu heard Zarafen's words, and felt warm in his heart, your master did not embarrass anyone.

For a small person like him, if he was a face saint, he might be nervous, but Zarafen's interruption made Song Yuchu not nervous, but relaxed.

After Song Yuchu relaxed, his words became more and more organized, Qianlong listened to what he said, and began to think carefully.
