Qing Palace: Biography of Concubine Shu

Chapter 198 Shu Yun's Confinement Time
In the afternoon, Shu Yun leaned comfortably on the rattan chair, sitting in the corridor basking in the sun, while Su Lan and Su Zhu led the servants in the corridor to sort out the vegetables in the wing room.

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

The elders around followed Kangxi's footsteps closely, confining the female family members in the backyard, and the concubines were all quiet, and they didn't dare to make trouble outside.

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

"No, you guys have finished these vegetable seedlings. The vegetable seedlings that have been pulled out are put in new flower pots." Shu Yun specially prepared several rich flower pots. From outsiders' point of view, these seedlings were originally made by farmers. Yes, other female family members despise Shu Yun.

Ever since Shuyun's courtyard started to grow vegetables, Gege and Gege wouldn't come here, even Song Gege and Li Gege didn't make any further moves.

"Master, leave all these tasks to the servants. You are like the other princesses, be a female celebrity and play chess!" Su Zhu was worried that Yin Zhen would feel that Shu Yun was acting a bit out of place, so she quickly persuaded her.

Shu Yun shook her head, Yinzhen never said much, but agreed with her actions.

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

Su Lan found that Shu Yun was slightly sentimental, so she quickly persuaded her.

"Little boy, why are you so sad?" Yin Zhen walked in from the outside, just in time to hear Shu Yun's words.

"Master, you don't want people to report it." Shu Yun 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?" Yinzhen wondered, the other female relatives were all planting expensive flowers and plants.

Shu Yun's courtyard is full of food. In summer, the grapes on the vines are ripe. Before Qiu Mi, Shu Yun picked a lot of grapes and made some wine.

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

After hearing Shu Yun's words, Yinzhen not only smiled.

"Master, would you like to see if it can be successful?" Shu Yun pursed her lips and smiled, ready to get support from Yinzhen.

"Yes, if you want to try it, I also support it. In winter, I will ask Su Peisheng to send some coal, so that you will have enough coal to survive the winter." Yinzhen promised.

"Thank you, Lord!" Shu Yun jumped up and saluted Yinzhen.

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

Shu Yun quickly nodded. In winter, little Sulas 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!" Yinzhen lowered his voice and instructed Shu Yun.

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's winter, do you want to prepare something for the holiday?" Shu Yun asked.

Every year during the festival, Shu Yun spends a little time preparing, at most, after cleaning the house thoroughly, he buys some hearty meals.

"Little boy, you should prepare more. During the Chinese New Year, except for the banquets on the [-]th and the fifth day, you will spend in the courtyard. During that time, I was quite busy, so I didn't have time to come and see you!" Yinzhen 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!" Shu Yun quickly agreed, determined not to cause trouble for Yinzhen.

Yinzhen smiled, Shu Yun is smart and knows how to arrange it.

With Shu Yun's guarantee, he looked down the corridor. Those green vegetable seedlings were all Shu Yun's winter stuff. In the imperial dining room, except for the Queen Mother and Kangxi, the rest of the people could not guarantee that there were so many vegetables to eat. of.

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

"Master, if I give these as New Year's gifts, will there be any problem?" Shu Yun hoped to save as much money as possible, because the New Year's expenses are a bit too much.

"Well, it's okay if you think so, green vegetables must be scarce, don't look at the fact that these things are worthless now, in winter, the distribution may be cut off!" Yinzhen 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 the Empress Dowager and Kangxi.

Uh uh uh!
Shu Yun 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!" Shu Yun patted his chest and promised.

This year, she has explored the way, and next year, she will prepare more!
"Okay!" Yinzhen smiled, Kangxi'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 Shu Yun.

"Master, what should I prepare for the New Year?" Shu Yun didn't know about the things for the New Year. Apart from the exquisite palace clothes prepared by Zhizao Mansion, some purses, 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 Shu Yun 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.

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

"Master, should Fujin make the purse for the Gold Awarding Festival?" Shu Yun 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 Shu Yun was under too much pressure.

Fujin and the two princesses were very dissatisfied with Shu Yun taking over all of this.
