Qing Palace: Biography of Concubine Shu

Chapter 293 La

On the day of the Laba Festival, Shu Yun was woken up by the messy noises outside. She groped for the bed beside her. It was already cold. Yinzhen should have entered the palace. They all had to wear palace costumes to attend, and as soon as the ugly time passed, they had to get up and take a carriage to enter the palace.

Some young elder brothers and princesses have to follow the steps of their parents, get up early and get ready to go, ready to enter the palace to say hello, if not, the young children will have to be energetic all day, for fear that there will be a trace of anger in front of Kangxi. It's wrong.

"Su Yan, what's the commotion outside?" Shu Yun's soft voice came from the inner bedroom, Su Zhu hurried over, Bayan and Su Yan were outside the hall, welcoming people from the palace, the main courtyard, and other palaces Eight-treasure porridge, packed the porridge I made, handed it to the little Sulas, and distributed red envelopes to them.

Strolling around several elder brothers' mansions, except for Shu Yun, under Yinzhen's training and management, they gave the most red envelopes, which made everyone know what they were, and they became more respectful to Shu Yun.

"Master, are you up?" Su Zhu looked at the time, it was not yet the time for Shu Yun to wake up, it was very lively outside, everyone was exchanging Laba porridge, the porridge in the palace had been sent to Yinzhen's study by Zhang Desheng to worship. "The rewards from the palace, Fujin and other residences have all come, and Su Yan and Bayan are collecting them outside."

"All the rewards are done in purses?" Shu Yun seldom cared about these things, but Yinzhen's repeated explanations made her care.

Su Zhu nodded quickly, those purses were sewed by her and Su Yan's servants who stayed in the courtyard overnight, each purse has its own rules, depending on the status of the master of the other party, the money in the purse is also different.

Shu Yun nodded, and asked Su Zhu to stand up, Yinzhen had already left, and Laba had to come by himself.

There are many things to do today, Laba garlic is the most important part.

After breakfast, Shu Yun specially asked Xiao Sula to bring in the jar of soaking garlic, and personally watched Su Yan put all the garlic into the jar. Scooping vinegar in the vinegar jar, watching the vinegar cover the garlic little by little, let them seal it.

The huge hall was filled with the smell of vinegar. Shu Yun didn't care at all. Vinegar is sterilizing. In winter, coals were always lit in the room, and the windows were rarely opened for ventilation.

Shu Yun is pretty good here, every time after breakfast, she will ask Su Zhu and Su Yan to open all the windows, and the warm temperature in the room will be completely dissipated, Yin Zhen said several times, But it didn't work once.

Over time, he got used to it, and found that the air in Shu Yun's room was very comfortable, which made Su Peisheng do the same.

In the rooms of the other female relatives, because the windows were not opened very much, there was somewhat of a smell, so Yinzhen just sat down for a while and went back to the study. Fujin, Li Shi, and Song Shi discovered Yinzhen's actions and asked what it was The place was wrong, and after they found out about Yinzhen's actions, they all followed suit.

"In addition, go to the courtyard and pick a few plum blossoms and put them in a big belly bottle. The room will have a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, which is also very good!" Some flavors, Yinzhen found that Shu Yun didn't like incense, so he hurriedly sent a lot of fruits to let him use more, and smoke the house by the way.

Su Zhu quickly took orders, went to the garden of the mansion, and cut a few plum blossoms that were not in full bloom, and asked Xiao Sula to help cut a few budding magnolias.

Fourth master likes Mizusawa magnolia very much, so he planted a lot of them in the mansion, and every day the people below would cut a few and put them in the study.

"Put this magnolia in a big belly bottle and put it in the study, and put the plum blossom in the living room. We'd better use the fruit to fumigate the house." Shu Yun said.

The curtain was opened in the hall, and she sat on the front seat, looking at the courtyard outside the door. The servants were wearing winter clothes, shuttled quickly in the corridor, busy arranging the courtyard.

"Let the small dining room prepare the Laba porridge. There should be some leftover Laba rice we prepared. No one rewarded a bowl. In addition, the slaves in the periphery gave a reward of two taels. The third-class maids did not wait to add one tael. You and Su Yan are 50 each Two, 20 taels for each second-class court lady!" According to Yinzhen's arrangement, Shu Yun handed out the reward directly.

Su Zhu hurriedly thanked Shu Yun for her kindness, Shu Yun had a lot of money, and the servants in the courtyard were very loyal. Except for the courtyard of Di Fujin, the other two courtyards didn't have such good treatment, so everyone didn't want to be cleared out of.

"Now go and pay the reward!" Shu Yun was about to settle the matter early, so she strolled back to the study and continued to copy her Buddhist scriptures.

During the Chinese New Year, Buddhist scriptures have to be handed in. She doesn't want to think about what she has to do while playing around during the Chinese New Year.

"Master, everyone hopes to come and kowtow to thank you!" Su Zhu went out, gathered all the serving servants together, and told them about Shu Yun's reward for everyone, and everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.

Su Yan opened the window near the collapsed window from the outside, and the servants heard Su Yan's order, and hurriedly gathered in the study room, kneeling on the green brick floor to thank him.

"Let's all start, if you follow the rules, there will be some bounties at the end of the year!" Shu Yun said, looking at everyone with a smile on his lips.

The servants felt warm in their hearts. In other courtyards, the servants did not have Laba porridge to drink. The big kitchen specially prepared it for the servants, which was rare and could not be compared with the small kitchen.

The servants dispersed, Su Yan closed the window from the outside, and Shu Yun glanced at the scenery outside through a thick layer of white fragrant cloud gauze.The blurred vision made her slightly taken aback.

"Su Yan, how much garlic is left?" Shu Yun suddenly wanted to eat garlic sprouts, and was going to use all of them to turn them into garlic sprouts.

"Master, there are quite a few more." Su Yan was going to dispose of the remaining garlic.

Shu Yun hurriedly asked Su Yan to string the garlic with cotton thread, put it on a large blue and white porcelain plate, put water on it, and put it on the high table by the window in the flower hall.

Su Zhu hesitated to speak, wanted to dissuade Shu Yun, and moved these into the small kitchen.

"It's okay, this is home!" Shu Yun waved his hand, telling Su Zhu not to say more.

Looking at the rice paper in front of her, she thought of the bright red silk flowers hung on the branches in the courtyard, which were arranged by Fujin's order, and the bright red lanterns were hung in the corridor, and at night, the whole courtyard would be filled with shrouded in red candlelight.

In the right corner of the courtyard, there are two flowers of Mizusawa Magnolia, which are already in bud and ready to bloom.
