The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 262
On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, every family in the capital entered the final stage of preparing for the Spring Festival, but Narbu's mansion was completely silent. On the first day of Narbu's rest, he called all the female relatives and managers of the mansion.

Zarafin sat quietly on the chair, looking at the expressions of the concubines opposite, none of them looked very good, and some of them were still looking at the kneeling stewards in the courtyard.

The people they bought with a lot of money are now taken over by Narb.

The Spring Festival in the third year of Yongzheng made people feel a little depressing. The emperor and Yongzheng issued an imperial decree in advance, and just entered the garden to receive the banquet on New Year's Eve.

"Today is approaching the Chinese New Year, I still have some time. If you tell clearly who did it, I can spare you. If you don't explain clearly, you should know your own fate." Narb looked outside coldly. .

The concubines were beating their hearts, for fear that Narbu would ask something.

The ledger sorted out by Zarafin was finally settled, and the difference between the two ledgers was nearly 1 taels of silver, which made Narbu angry.

The sum of his annual income is only 5000 taels of silver.

"Who gave you the courage to run such a deficit in the mansion?" Narb threw the ledger in front of the managers.

Several managers who had followed Narbu for many years begged for mercy, hoping that Narbu would not drive them out.

"Master, the servants know that they are wrong. When Director Xu and the chiefs of the House of Internal Affairs were drinking, I heard them say this, but Long Live Lord didn't notice it." Director Yu who was kneeling behind Director Xu was a coward, Narb Seeing that he was a bit timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but he was very loyal, so he was made the manager of the second hospital.

Ministry of Internal Affairs? !

Zarafin was secretly surprised when he heard Director Yu's words. It turned out that all the people in the officials' residences had some involvement with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare!" Manager Xu was shocked when he found out that the rest of the managers blamed him for their crimes, and he was afraid that Narbu would personally deal with him.

Narbu looked at Zarafin: "Jiaojiao, come here."

Zarafin hurried to Narbu's side, and he whispered something in her ear: "Wu De, Si Ge, you two follow Jiaojiao to my study."

After saluting to his parents, Zarafin left with the two cuckoos.

When they arrived at the study, Wu De and Si Ge saw Zarafin's tossing up and down, and asked quickly.

"Jiaojiao, what are you looking for?" Sige quickly asked Zarafin as he hugged Zarafin off the chair.

"Ama asked to go into the study and write a letter to Ah Hun with his booklet." Zarafin looked at the two elder brothers and said, "Let me explain the situation at home clearly."

Zarafin turned to the blank booklet, clapped his hands, quickly wiped the grand master's chair with a handkerchief, got on it, and began to write a letter to Hongli in coded language.

"Jiaojiao, is Ama going to write an apology to the Long Live Lord?" Wu De asked, looking at Zarafin.

Zarafin nodded: "If something like this happens at home and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is involved, if you don't write a note to ask for peace, something may happen."

When the sun was setting, Hongli received her notebook, and he looked through it suspiciously, his face became more and more gloomy.Gao Wuyong was beating drums in his heart, not knowing what Zarafin wrote in it.

"Gao Wuyong, go and get the Ruyi that Ama gave me the day before yesterday." Hongli put the booklet aside, took the rice paper, and prepared to write back to her, "In addition, the three sets of mother-of-pearl heads from Neizao Bring them all."

Hongli specially prepared some for Zarafin for the Chinese New Year, and took the opportunity to send them over.

Fucha Ni Chuhe's betrothal gift has been sent to the mansion by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Fucha's house is decorated with lanterns and festoons this year, allowing all members of the family to gather in the capital.

He hoped to accompany Zarafin to appease him, but Yongzheng and the others declined and let him stay in the garden.

After being punished, the concubines Jin and Su settled down in peace. They hoped that Fujin would enter the garden sooner and provoke Fujin and Zarafin to fight each other, so that they could benefit from it.

"Master, everything is ready, look." Gao Wuyong asked the little Suras to open the box, and Hongli inspected it himself.

"Give this letter and things to Jiaojiao in person." Hongli looked at the sky, and after dinner, she must be studying Mongolian in the study.

"Hey." Gao Wuyong took the order and left.

Later, when Zarafen was in the study, he heard that Furong came to inform him that Hongli sent Gao Wuyong to bring things over.

She hurried to the main courtyard. Fortunately, her courtyard was not far from the main courtyard, and it was time for a cup of tea.

"Greetings to little master." Gao Wuyong greeted Zarafin.

"Come on, come here" Zarafin looked at Gao Wuyong and asked.

"The master asked the servants to come over and deliver things to the little master. These three boxes are specially for the little master. The palace flowers in this box were drawn by the master himself and made by Neizao," Gao Wuyong said first. Something said, "These three boxes are for Mrs. Narb and the other two Gege in the mansion."

People with a discerning eye can see that Gao Wuyong sent something to Zarafin specially. Hongli was worried that he would be impressed, so he gave gifts to Lang Jia and the two concubine daughters by the way.

"Eunuch Gao, please use the quilt tea before leaving." Lang Jia quickly thanked Gao Wuyong and was about to greet Gao Wuyong.

"No, the slave has to rush back to the garden as soon as possible." Gao Wuyong said very respectfully.

Zarafin is the sharpest of Hongli, and Gao Wuyong must respect him.

After sending Gao Wuyong away, Zarafin looked at the two prostitutes with slightly changed eyes, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Ama, Erniang, I'll go back and continue reading." Zarafin left first, not wanting to see the two concubines pretending to be affectionate.

"Go," Narbu waved his hand and told Zarafin to leave. He looked at the two concubines with an ugly expression on his face, "You go back first and prepare the dowry for the wedding, although you don't need to make the wedding dress , purses and the like have to be made."

The two concubines woke up instantly as if they had been poured cold water on them.

Narb specially exempted them from the selection during their draft, and found them a good marriage. When they get married, they will be their first wives. They ridiculed Zarafin in their hearts. Not a concubine?

Now, Hongli accompanied him back to the garden again and again, and sent a lot of things every now and then, and they were all jealous.

After they got engaged, their husbands didn't give gifts as graciously as Hongli.

Zarafin went back to the study, opened the small box, and took out the palace flower, there was indeed a letter underneath.

He was worried that someone would check, and private correspondence would hurt her reputation, so the two discussed using this method.

She opened the letter and looked at Hongli's promise that she would tell Queen Narbu's mansion about it when she greeted her tomorrow morning, so that she didn't have to hide it, and if it was punishment, let Su Momo and the servants in the palace come forward.
