Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 305 Olives
It’s easy to make mistakes while busy.

After walking hurriedly and slowly on the grassland for more than ten days, we will finally be able to enter the city of Kulun tomorrow.Haifeng wanted to take a bath and cleanse himself, but the four maids opened all the boxes and could not find the bath beans.

The newly arrived Wuyue's eyes were blazing, and he insisted that it was the Li family's Nizi who was lost.

Now this little girl, renamed Changchun, is serving Xiao Lian'er.

"On the way, we were afraid that the water and fire would be used up early, so the two masters didn't wash up easily. But Lian Gege's place must be cleaned every day, so everything can be used there. The sisters didn't take it. Could it be that Changchun didn't return it?"

Axiang, who was counting the toiletries nearby, saw some signs and wanted to suppress Wuyue's words, but Shutai grabbed the corner of his clothes and whispered in his ear.

"Qing'er is here now. Wuyue is her apprentice, and you always protect Qing'er. When will she be able to take charge of her own business?"

Qing'er was also worried and hurriedly walked out of the tent and went to Lian Gege's place.

There is a spring closest to Cullen here, and Dobu specially asked the team to set up camp early and not rush into the city.Balezhong, who was standing before the attack, transported a batch of firewood, grain, and live sheep from Kulun. The people who came to Mobei with the fourth princess got a full rest for the first time in a long time.

Four bonfires were burning brightly, and a large pot specially designed to boil bath water was already placed on the fire, and the water was about to boil.

Qing'er passed by and stared at the bubbling hot water, suddenly alert.

In the warm firelight, she returned to the fourth princess's tent.

"Lian Gege asked over there and said that he gave it to me yesterday. I guess I forgot which box he stuffed it into. Right now, it's important to serve the master. There are no bath beans or soapberries. If not, some face wash. It works too. Go out and carry water in May."

Haifeng watched with interest as the maids dealt with this minor disturbance, and was not in a hurry to get involved.

Shu Tai was right, it was time for Qing'er to grow up.

Duobu had almost taken off his clothes and was lying on the blanket, playing with Haifeng's delicate fingers.

"What a great thing, it's worth the trouble. Qing'er, I don't have much stuff. Go and dig through those bundles, and you'll find a dark green square that smells like olives. Bring that. Please. Your Highness, please just use it once."

May's plan failed, so he threw down the curtain in anger and went out to ask for hot water.

Qing'er went out to look for Duobu's luggage. Shutai covered his mouth and laughed, poking Axiang on the shoulder.

"Look, doesn't Qing'er have some eyesight? Wu Yu and Changchun have had two quarrels, and she can tell."

The hot water and bathtub have arrived, and May is about to help Haifeng undress. Duobu lazily gets up and calls the maids out.

"You don't know how to serve, which makes Her Royal Highness unhappy. Come, let me serve."

Shutai put down the tooth powder and ran faster than anyone else.

"I still know that I feel sorry for the people below. Leave quickly. If it's too late, the sheep bones will end up in Fugui's belly!"

Qing'er came back just in time, put what Duobu said on the stool, took May, and went out with Axiang.

Haifeng has a pair of slanted almond eyes, her robe is half-undressed, and she is as charming as a budding rose.

"Do you really serve me?"

"The blessings gained through several lifetimes. Your Highness, please wash your face first?"

Duobu mixed the water in the copper basin and tried it. It was just right, neither cold nor hot.

"Come on, the water will get cold if you don't wash yourself."

Hai Feng washed twice and when he reached out to get the facial cleanser, he accidentally came across the castile soap that Duo Bu asked Qing'er to get.

"You still have this thing?"

"I usually don't remember it. There is soap made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Who uses this? But when I used it in Moscow, it was sold at a high price. Oros didn't have it itself, but bought it from some country in the west. It's called Marseille soap. . In the Kremlin, the duchess and countess will compete with each other to see who uses soap with a unique smell."

"Then you like the smell?"

"Well, it's not as fragrant as roses and jasmine. It smells just light and nice."

"What I'm saying is, let's help Qing'er out of the siege. I'm here to get the bad stuff. If you want to smell this smell from me, just say no."

"Why are you jealous? With you, can I still like Qing'er?"

Haifeng brushed her teeth slowly, and by the time she finished, Duobu had filled up the bath water.

"According to what I just said, would you like her without me?"

"Stop making trouble, you know what I mean."

Duobu helped Haifeng take off his clothes, deliberately moving slowly and interrupting, so that he could peek for a while.

"You really don't care about that thing in May?"

"We need to take care of it, but it's not time yet. Haven't you seen how proud Lao Shi is?" "He is still young and greedy. Within a few days of coming out of the capital, I saw him scratching his head and scratching his head, unable to sit still. . We only brought a few maids out in total, and you were very strict, and suddenly May appeared. Although she looks ordinary, has a sweet mouth and is good at winning over people, it is not surprising that the tenth wants to take over the house. But there is another person. Pretty Changchun is by the side. He knows you won't give him two at once, so he can't make up his mind."

"Did he ask you?"

"Ah."

After a while, the bath water got a little cold.But Haifeng was not picky and got into the tub.

The random splashes of water slid down from the tender collarbones, rolled all the way to the waist, and then returned to the bucket completely.

A drop of water made Duobu feel hot all over.

"I'm going to take off all my clothes, don't be ashamed."

"casual."

Haifeng washed his arms with the piece of castile soap and took the time to admire Duobu's tight muscle lines.

Maybe this is the so-called "wide shoulders and narrow hips" and "double-door refrigerator"!

"Changchun is not a real maid. She has been hanging around me for a few months, and with the reputation of being from the princess's house, I sent her to Jiangnan to reunite with her family and the brother next door. It's rare for them to grow up It’s hard not to die, but he helped me find a coal mine and a gold mine, so I still have to help with this little help.”

"Do you think Lao Shi knows this?"

"Well, I probably don't know. The people I brought out from Beijing all have strict mouths. There is only one new arrival in May. She wishes Changchun would leave early. If I tell Lao Shi, he might send someone to Jiangnan. Force the brother next door to break off the engagement. I guess Lao Shi only knows that Changchun had an abortion."

"That's right. But Lao Shi doesn't care much about this. He likes Changchun's dazed way of answering questions. This girl is also a bit interesting. When she first came here, she was thin and small, and she didn't look good. After two days of eating good food, it is getting better and better every day. Don’t be sour! This is what Lao Shi said, and I will learn from it for you."

"Who's sore? You're so beautiful. I've finished washing it. It's your turn."

"No more soaking? No more washing your hair? I still want to help you wash your hair."

"When I get home tomorrow, I'll find out the bath beans I hid in May, and I'll soak them for half an hour. It's too cold here, and I'm afraid I'll catch a cold if I wash my hair. Just wait until you can serve me."

Haifeng took a bath in cold water, but Duobu still thought it was too hot, so he poured half a bucket of cold spring water before jumping in.

While he was washing, Haifeng sat beside him, applying skin care products and chatting casually.

"What kind of princess mansion did you build? I asked you several times, but you didn't tell me."

"It's pointless to say it. You can see for yourself tomorrow."

"How many rooms are there? How big is the yard? Where does Eni live? Where does my daughter live?"

"I've said it all, you'll know when you see it tomorrow."

Dobu was afraid that she would ask any more questions, so he couldn't help but show off and abruptly changed the topic.

"You always pick maids, you have a vicious eye, and you don't let her go easily. Why is it that in May, when you are jumping up and down, you still indulge her?"

"It's not conniving. I can understand that she wants to climb up. Otherwise, why would she not want any of the husbands Lao Zhang found for her? Because in the entire village, no family is higher than hers; as soon as she gets married, she will The water flows downward. I like her ambition. As long as this ambition is used in another place, May is a good material."

In this era, women are required to follow the rules and accept their fate from the moment they are born. Finding a motivated girl is like digging for gold in the sand.

In May, it is really rare to want people to go to higher places.

But her methods cannot be brought to the forefront now, they are too base.

No one is perfect, so Haifeng plans to try and see if he can polish May May and put it to other places in the future for great use.

"You just said that just a piece of Marseille soap is very expensive in Oros?"

"I really can't remember how much it cost. I only vaguely remember that what you used to use often came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I sighed. It always cost no money, but now it costs rubles. I bought it. Anyway, ordinary officials can’t afford it.”

"I've used it and I think it's really good. But it's worse than the one from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Hey, tell me, if I go to Moscow and sell the soap from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, can I make a lot of money?"

"Oh, you've drilled into the hole for copper coins. You're not short of money, why are you always thinking about selling things?"

"Look, Master Shuanshou's temper is back again. We want to build a city on the grassland, and Khan Amma can't give much money. No matter how big the mine is, sooner or later it will be dug out. Can't I try another way? Look at it. Well, I’m going to Kyaktu to do big business with the merchants of Oros! Use the rubles in their pockets to build my own city!”

　1. Bath beans: Ancient daily toiletries, mainly made of bean powder and medicinal powder, were still used and innovated in the Qing Dynasty. For example, at the crab feast in Dream of Red Mansions, washing hands with mung beans was one of them.

　　2. Soapberry: Its Latin scientific name is "Soap of India". It was discovered very early in my country and is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica.When using it, just rub it in to get out the soapy liquid.

　　3. Marseille soap originated in Syria. Later, under the direct intervention of the French royal family, strict production standards were established, and eventually it became a high-end handmade soap.For example, the olive oil content must be above 72%, etc.

　　4. The Kremlin, a world heritage site, is located in Moscow. It was built in the 13th century and is the main residence of the royal family.

　　5. Soap has already appeared in the Kangxi Dynasty. In Dream of Red Mansions, Baoyu washed his face with Shi Xiangyun’s leftover soapy water.And there is really no need to think that Western craftsmanship must be better than ours.Large-scale industrial soap production in the West began after French chemist Lübrand discovered the industrial alkali production method in 1788.At this time, both East and West used natural raw materials to make soap by hand.The Ministry of Internal Affairs serves the royal family and has always strived for excellence in the materials used and will not lose to the West.
