The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 8
In the early morning, Zarafin was awakened by the singing of birds in the courtyard. She opened her almond eyes and looked at the bed curtain. It was the second day after returning home, and it was August [-]th.

The servants in Narb's mansion are very busy, and they are constantly ordered to do things by Mrs. Lang Jia.

After returning home, Zarafin was not used to it, the three elder brothers treated her very well, Wu De and Si Ge even surrounded her every day, Lang Jia's eyes were sometimes gentle and sometimes bored, which made Shu Yun feel all over. uneasy.

"Is Jiaojiao awake?" Wu De's voice came from outside.

Since Si Fujin was mentioned, the fourth master said that she changed her name to Jiaojiao. In the mouths of the close elders, Zarafin's name was never heard again, and they all called her Jiaojiao.

Even the old people of the Langjia family began to look at her differently. Yesterday, their family of six went to the mansion of the Langjia family. The enthusiasm of Guo Luomafa and Guo Luoma made Wude and Sige back away.

On the carriage to Langjia's mansion, Wu De and Sige introduced Langjia's affairs word by word. Guo Luomafa didn't look down on Narbu at all, thinking that Narbu was just a bastard , and even Nali chimed in.

In the mansion, the two old men really treated Zarafin differently, which made her not sure who to believe.

"If Jiaojiao doesn't get up, call her again later." Nali's voice reached her ears.

Zarafin hurriedly said, "Ah Hun, I'm up."

Tortoiseshell quickly opened the door curtain, walked in with the second-class maidservants, and waited for Zarafin to get up.

After seeing the joy, all the nuns and servants around Zarafin were replaced by Si Fujin. These people were all confidantes of the Ulanara family. They were trained by Si Fujin for a year, but they were sent to Zarafin's side .

"Master, get up quickly, it may not be too late for breakfast today, you can go to Madam's place to pay your respects after spending a little bit of snacks." Tortoiseshell is only ten years old, but she is very mature and sophisticated in her work.

"Tortoiseshell, I will ask Pearl to prepare three extra breakfasts, and the cuckoos will definitely not have time to use them." Zarafin sat on the dressing table and let Tortoiseshell start to dress up.

Every time I go to pay my respects, the ah-hus always come to Zarafin first, and the concubines and children of the mansion rarely come in the front yard.

"Zarafin, hurry up." Wu De used a few pieces of pastry sent by pearls, and he was not so hungry.

The pearls were specially selected by Si Fujin. The family used to be a family of imperial doctors. Because of the death of the empress dowager, the family was angered and relegated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Si Fujin personally redeemed the family and sent it to Narbu. In the other courtyard, let Zarafin be easy to use.

"Master likes these refreshments. If the young masters like it, you can use less. The master told me to prepare more breakfast later. The young masters can accompany the master to use it together." Pearl is the person who manages the dining room and all the entrances. Yes, she was taught as a medical girl since she was a child.

Luckily, Sifu Jin redeemed their family, otherwise, Pearl would have to go to the Imperial Hospital, and might spend her whole life serving others.

When she came to Zarafin's side, Zarafin asked the four of them what they thought, and when they were old enough, she could let them go out to get married.

"Pearl, your craftsmanship is really good. My sister's food depends on you. If you manage well, I will not be stingy with rewards." Wu De knew that Pearl came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the hands of Zarafin, as an elder brother, Wu De will still beat the slaves from time to time.

"Yes, servant girl, thank you young master." Pearl bowed and saluted.

The other mansions, Gege, are all named in Manchu language, and Zarafin is named after the four head and face materials she likes.

After dressing up, Zarafin walked out of the inner bedroom on a thousand-layered bottom. She watched Pearl put aside several plates of pastries, and the three cuckoos were already using pastries.

"Jiaojiao, hurry up and use it, we have two quarters of an hour to go to Erniang's side to say hello." Wu De looked at her and said.

Zarafin's movements are not slow. If it is another grid, it will take about half an hour to dress up. At this time, Zarafin basically came out without makeup. He thinks that his appearance does not need those powders at all. Now he has the best skin when he is young status.

"Ah, do you like it?" Zarafin ate two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, drank another glass of milk, and wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief. "Pearl, remember to send the milk to the three cuckoos every morning. I can't even drink the milk that cuckoo Yuanshou gave me."

Ever since he went to the garden, Hongli asked someone to distribute a bucket of milk to Zarafin from his own distribution, saying that only by using more milk can he grow taller.

Zarafin can't be used every time, it can only be used for washing face or washing hands.

"Jiaojiao, this is given to you by the fourth elder brother, how can you use it for us." Wu De quickly refused.

"Yuan Shou Huan said, give it to me, and you can control it freely." Zarafin waved his little hand nonchalantly and said.

In the past few days, Zarafin always used milk to wash her face, and her little face became even more white and tender. Wu De couldn't bear it, and pinched her little face directly, and soon, the direction of her cheeks turned a little red.

"Ah, you are too hard." Zarafin hurriedly wiped it with the handkerchief a few times, and the handprints made by don't pinch spread, as if a ball of rouge was rubbed on his cheeks.

Sige and Nali looked at each other and smiled, Zarafin was in good condition these few days, if the prostitutes came to provoke, it shouldn't matter.

"Let's go." Wu De looked at Zarafin apologetically, stood up and walked to Er Niang's courtyard with his younger brother and younger sister.

As soon as Zarafin walked out of the courtyard, Wu De picked him up from the ground.

"Ah Hun!" Zarafin twisted a bit, "Let me down, I'll go by myself."

"Okay, stay here obediently." Wu De said, patting Zarafin's little head.

Zarafin settled down, and Wu De began to introduce the situation of the mansion in her ear, the situation of Narbu's concubines and their children. In Narbu's concubine room, there was a little girl and Zara There is a month difference in Fen's age, and this person has been at odds with Zarafin since he was a child.

"Hejili has a lot of thoughts, you have to be more careful, don't be bullied by her again." Wu De was a little worried, Hejili was a concubine daughter, after Zarafin survived, she and Jili and her mother-in-law Liu Jiashi Not much nonsense.

"Ah, don't worry, I'm sure I won't be bullied again." Zarafin patted Wu De's cheek and said.

Hongli and Wude were about the same age, but Zarafen felt that if Hongli encountered similar things, he would definitely say, "Jiaojiao, if you fight back, I will take responsibility for the trouble." '

Wu De was different, she just calmly analyzed the pros and cons for Zarafin, and finally she made the choice.
