Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 246 Jade Deer
After a period of training, the two new maids have learned to deal with things in the fourth princess's room calmly. After tidying up the messy bed, they calmly exited the door and took away the old sheets and cloth. Go wash your pajamas.

Haifeng lay down on the bed again, teasing her husband in a low voice, who refused to even turn around and sit at the table.

"Hey, it makes me feel bad that you have to endure such hard work. How about I find you two beautiful concubines? Over at Ruixiangfang, there are a few who regret it halfway through training and want to go back to their hometown to get married. Little girls. Some of them think that Khan Ama is too old, and some of them are afraid of the strict rules in the palace and dare not enter. You are so young and I am generous, so they are probably willing."

Dobu turned his back to the bed and gritted his teeth and said:
"You recruited me, and you still want to run away? I don't want a concubine. I'm just waiting for you to give birth. And then. Then"

"Then what?"

"Hmph, you know it yourself."

Haifeng didn't want to be too presumptuous, and really aroused Dobu, biting his pillow and laughing silently.

After finally getting over this little episode, she got tired of lying down, sat up, put on her slippers, and went to the table to drink water.

With a straight face, Dobu poured her a large glass and pushed it over.

"The Eighth Prince is so smart, doesn't he know that Khan Amma is taboo against the prince having personal relationships with Han ministers?"

"I know. My brothers don't have many fuel-efficient lamps, but they are all very courageous. The eighth brother is quite cautious. If something goes wrong in the future, he can blame his wife and say that it is all her fault. Idea. As for himself, at most he is accused of lax governance."

Dobu rolled his contemptuous eyes almost to the sky.

"Think again about what I said. I think you are better than them all, and you are most suitable to be the emperor."

The glass of water in Haifeng's hand was rippling slightly, just like her wavering heart.

It is of course impossible to say that he has never been moved by the throne at all.

"It's not that easy. Let's see if seventh brother can do it first. If he can't do it, it will be even harder for me."

These words were very true, and Duobu was quite satisfied, and finally there was some joy on his face.

"I am going back to Wutai Mountain to worship Buddha. Khan Amma asked my uncle to go with him. I will try to rely on his advice and push my seventh brother up. You are pregnant and I am not at home. This will not work. I will leave Balzhong to stay. Use it. If you are in a hurry, ask him to come to me on a fast horse immediately."

The next day, Balezhong did not follow Duobu to the South Study Room, but was led by Axiang to meet the hostess in Nuang Pavilion.

Haifeng did not have to kneel down and carefully selected the gifts in advance, giving him nine-color precious gifts.

"Sit down. Ordinarily, before the Tuxie Tuhan tribe came over, you were a serious little Taiji in Mobei, and you have followed me for so many years. How you treat him will be treated by me."

Balezhong didn't show too much humility and sat down readily.

"In my eyes, the princess is just like the prince."

"That's good. I have something that I've been wondering about for a long time. Please help me with my advice."

Haifeng signaled to Axiang and handed him a jade pendant in her hand.

Balezhong took it in his hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and laughed loudly.

"Oh, why did you give it to your daughter-in-law?"

Ah Xiang and Hai Feng couldn't help but look at each other, they didn't understand what this man was trying to trick.

"Yes, Abu gave it to me as a gift on the engagement day. He said it was a rare item. I ordered the dowry a few days ago and dug it out from the bottom of the box. I think this jade is indeed of the highest quality, but when it comes to selling it, Up to two 300 taels of silver. Abu won’t just give me property, right?”

"Yes, the purpose of this jade pendant is more valuable than the jade pendant itself. There is a story. I am stupid and can't tell it well. Just..."

"Oh, when it comes to deer on jade, I know."

"The Secret History of Mongolia", as well as various legends and ballads related to it, were taught by Aunt Sumala when Haifeng was six years old.

Genghis Khan's expedition to Sartavul lasted seven years.Mrs. Hulan, who was following the army, was homesick, so she discussed a countermeasure with the military advisor Yelu Chucai: a soldier reported to Genghis Khan that he had encountered a green deer with one horn and a horse's tail. Can speak Mongolian.It said that the Khan who came from afar should go home.

Genghis Khan asked Yelu Chucai to explain this sign.Yelu Chucai borrowed ancient books to record the divergence and persuaded Genghis Khan to go back.Although Genghis Khan saw through this trick, he didn't say anything and agreed to return to the base camp.

The finely carved jade pendant is exactly this deer, coupled with the emerald green background color, it makes people think of this story at a glance.

"It's great that the princess knows. I really can't learn it. I listened to my elders when I was a child. This jade pendant was sent by Prince Namzal of the Chechen Khan tribe for his use. Princess, you know, he He is the prince’s uncle.”

"I'm ashamed to say that I don't know much about it. Occasionally, Dobu was not very happy when he mentioned Eji, so I didn't dare to inquire about it carefully. Since he didn't want to take the initiative to talk to me, it was something he didn't want me to know. "

Balezhong smiled knowingly, lowered his head and hesitated again, but decided not to say anything.

"The prince is the son of two major tribes in Mobei, but few people dare to mention it. Your Highness the Princess is smart and should know that there are deep taboos here. I really shouldn't interrupt. As for the jade pendant, let's put it this way, as long as you hold this Once the token is gone, the Chechen Khan tribe will send troops to protect the prince. It is a treasure that can bring the prince back home safely."

Touching the jade deer that Balezhong handed back to her, Hai Feng could roughly guess three to four points.

"How do you know the purpose of this thing?"

"Oh. In the early years, when the prince was young, he went to the Rakshasa Kingdom and Junggar. Prince Namzal was worried about it and asked someone to send this self-defense. The prince didn't want it, so he asked me to go and return it. But he, Abu, caught up with him halfway and took it away quietly. I had no choice but to hunt outside for a few days and get through." After saying a few more important things, Hai Feng asked A Xiang to see Bale off well. After Zhong went out, he invited Jilan to the kitchen.

"I'm going to cook some dishes for you, and I'll let Enie take care of them."

"My master doesn't even like the smell of oil."

"Go ahead, I have my own reasons."

So when Dobu went home for dinner at night, the table was full of his favorite foods.

"Hey, it's not a big day today, and it's almost the first lunar month, so why are you eating so richly?"

With a smile on her face, Haifeng picked up a chopstick to serve as an appetizer and fed it to Duo Bu, who was washing his hands.

"Fresh vegetables are rare in winter. Lotus roots and cucumbers are both sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's just a little bit, so I just made them. If you want to eat them, eat them to your heart's content."

As soon as he chewed it in his mouth, Duobu could taste that it was prepared by Haifeng himself.Waiting eagerly for the girls to go out, he held her in his arms.

"I'm so happy and uncomfortable, but you still went to the kitchen to cook for me. Thank you."

Duobu leaned over to kiss her again, but Haifeng dodged him.

"My mouth is full of sesame oil. After eating."

After wiping his hands and sitting down, Duobu was about to hold the bowl when he suddenly noticed the jade deer placed there by Haifeng on the right side of the tea cup.

He was stunned for a moment, then relaxed.

"It turns out it's in your hands again."

Haifeng sat down next to Dobu, and simply relayed what Ba Lezhong had said.

"Abu gave me such an important thing, but didn't tell me how to use it. It's clear that I'm implying that I'll ask you directly. Why are you and uncle at odds with each other?"

"It's not me. It's Abu and him. Let's eat first. My wife worked so hard to make these delicious things. It's a waste to waste them."

Duobu ate all the dishes on the table with gusto. While drinking tea, Duobu told Haifeng about his mother.

"Eji is the youngest daughter in my uncle's family. She was only 12 years old when she married Abu. At that time, my uncles loved my little sister and looked at several men, but none of them liked her. When my grandfather went to ask for marriage, the uncles thought that Abu had a child at that time. He has a bad reputation for being romantic, and there are too many female slaves around him, so he doesn't like it. Abu is young and vigorous, and when he is reckless, he simply grabs the marriage."

"Then, herself"

"Probably unwilling. I don't know. Eji passed away when I was one year old. Abu has never touched another woman since she came in. So, I don't even have any brothers or sisters. I am the eldest son, An only child. She shouldn't have given birth so early. I heard that she bled a lot when she gave birth to me. She never recovered after that."

Haifeng listened to his voice that gradually became bitter, and suddenly he understood a lot of things.

Abu must have felt a lot of guilt, so he overcompensated for his only son.After she entered the house, she overcompensated to her daughter-in-law.Dobu's current concern and consideration for her should be the way Abu ideally treats his wife.Teach this to your son subtly.

After a long silence, Duobu placed the jade deer in Hai Feng's palm.

"I will write a letter to my uncle's family. This will be used by you in the future. I will not leave my wife and run away alone at the critical moment like the eighth prince. If my uncle's family doesn't give Abu a good look, I can I have no contact with them; however, I have to take care of you."

Hai Feng just wanted to open his mouth to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them again.

The full picture is unknown and declined to comment.

She had only heard Duobu's one-sided description of what the process was like back then.

Dobu has a strong execution ability. After drinking tea, he went to write a letter.Haifeng couldn't sit still after thinking about it, so he went outside and asked someone to invite Aunt Sai Lun.

"Mother Lao will send a suitable person, who is proficient in Mongolian, to go to Mobei after the first lunar month. I have something important to ask."

When Haifeng finished his instructions and entered the room, Dobu had just finished writing the letter.

"Bring over the jade deer. I want to leave an impression on the letter with ink pad."

"Don't you have a seal for private use?"

Dobu looked up at his wife and said meaningfully:
"I don't understand the ways of the inner house; you don't understand the affairs of the army. In the past, I made up my mind not to use my uncle's personal soldiers, so this jade pendant is a beautiful decoration; now I want to use it, this jade pendant The jade pendant is a military talisman. If you don't leave a few marks for comparison, anyone can make a fake one, and something will go wrong sooner or later. I also wrote a letter to my grandfather. If you use it, you can also mobilize the troops of Tuxie Tuhan. Those who stay in Zhangjiakou also recognize this jade pendant."

Hai Feng's heart tightened, his hands trembled, and he almost threw Yulu to the ground.

Soldiers.

From this moment on, she actually had the power to mobilize the cavalry.

　The Secret History of Mongolia, written approximately in the 13th century, is the earliest extant historical and literary classic of the Mongolian nation.This book is considered a masterpiece.But to talk about something unrelated, I really can't eat fine chaff. I read this book bravely. Everything else is easy to say. It's really hard to remember people's names. After turning the page, I can't remember what a person has done before. What.Sartavul, I looked it up and said it means mixed race person + businessman in Mongolian.This country should be roughly in Central Asia.
