Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 306 The Silk Road

"Feng'er, get up."

Haifeng was woken up by Dobu amid the fragrance of olives.

"What, is it time?"

When he opened his eyes and saw that it was still dark outside the tent, Haifeng felt inspired to get up for the first time in his life.

"I said, you don't need to sleep, I want to sleep. When will we take a break? Don't you have any idea?"

"Just for a moment. I, I have something to tell you. Come on, put on my cloak. Let's watch the sunrise, okay?"

"Okay. It can only be at the entrance of the tent! After reading, I want to sleep for a while."

Haifeng wrapped herself tightly in her fox fur clothes, and Duobu diligently picked her up.

"You don't even have to stand up. I can just keep holding you like this."

"It's okay, I have some conscience. I really don't want to stand on the ground. Once I stood up, I felt completely refreshed."

This is where Dobu grew up. He knows exactly when the sun rises.

As soon as they finished cleaning up, the sun began to show on the ridge in the distance.

Hai Fengqiang opened his eyes and leaned lazily on Duobu's shoulder.

"Don't you have anything to say? Just say it."

"In Killing the Tiger's Mouth, you asked me if there was anything I hid from you or anything I didn't say."

"How many days have passed, why do you suddenly mention it again?"

"At that time, I only said a few words. I, I was afraid that you would be angry, so I took Lian'er and ran back to my parents' home in the capital. Never see me again."

Haifeng didn't want to sleep at all now.

Neatly manicured long nails clasped Dobu's neck.

"Be honest. Do you have a woman outside, or do you have an illegitimate child?"

"It's not those. What I want to tell you is that when you got married for the first time, it was a wedding night. I, I was secretly very happy. You proposed it yourself and said you didn't want to have children as soon as possible. I know Khan Ama What are you planning? If you and I have a son soon, I'm afraid he won't continue to value me. "

"That's it? Not that much."

"There are more. There are many, many more. Please listen to me patiently."

The clear sunlight shone into Duobu's pupils. Haifeng was close to his chest and could hear the excited heartbeat inside.

"Okay, go ahead. I'll listen."

"My love for you, in Chinese terms, is love at first sight. I don't dare to live at home all the time and lie next to you, how can I bear it. I know that you are alone at home, but you don't go home often. I always thought that we are so young and still have many years to be together. Getting along with you and being intimate with you is not urgent. I want to make the Tushetu Khan tribe the most powerful tribe in Mongolia first; I also want to , and became a hero who killed Galdan; I even thought about instigating Khan Amma to continue sending troops to the west and north, borrowing the power of the Qing Dynasty to expand Mongolia's territory."

"It sounds like there's nothing wrong with that."

"I wanted too much, but I ignored you. I often lied at that time, saying that there were too many things to do in the army and I couldn't get away. Brother, you even helped me to cover up my lies. In fact, I can rest from time to time. It's just that I can’t bear to leave Khan Amma’s side, for fear that some opportunity may show up when I go home to see you.”

"Suddenly I saw the color of willows on the street, regretting teaching my husband to look for a title. Is that what you meant? Is it the same here? Lying is absolutely not allowed. For the sake of your honesty, forget it. It won't be the same again. As for the second thing. More Bu, I'm not angry. You want to take advantage of the war to show your face around Khan Amma more, make him like you more, and give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. Not only am I not angry, I'm even quite proud."

He is ambitious and motivated, which in Haifeng's eyes is definitely not a shortcoming.

But the premise is that you have to negotiate with her.

Dobu's approach of relying on lies to deal with one day at a time is totally wrong.

"Put me down."

"I'm not tired yet."

"I'm tired of lying down. Besides, watching the sunrise like this always feels weird."

The sun's rays gradually became stronger, shining warmly on my body.Haifeng tentatively touched Duobu's hand and found that it was very cold.

You must know that the palms of the man in front of you are like a warm baby with a constant temperature. They are always warm in winter.

"Dobu, if it is your wish to make the Tushetu Khan tribe stronger, then let's realize it together! I want to be the queen, but it is a hundred times harder than this. If we can't even dominate the grassland, how can we talk about returning to the capital? To seize the throne? I came all the way to live in Mobei, not with the intention of coaxing Lian'er every day in the princess's mansion, or raising a few more children for you to pass the time."

"Well, you want to build a city."

"More than that. I want to build Kulun City to be on par with Guihua City. The same goes for Kyaktu and Uliasutai. From here to the west, there is the ancient Silk Road. As long as it is opened up again, we can go Go to Europe; to the north, there is Oros, and you can also borrow the help of their merchants to sell goods to the west. Rebellion, raise the army, expand the cavalry, build guns and cannons, and spend money like water. I want to rely on the income from business. , prop up this bottomless pit."

"Speak slowly! I, I don't quite understand. Well, you can go north. I have been doing business with the Rakshasa people for more than ten years. If you want to add capital to invest, of course it is good. What is the Silk Road? What else? Yes, further west is the territory of the Junggar tribe. They may not let you come in and out at will."

"When we get home and settle down, Lao Shi will also leave for the capital. I'll tell you slowly." Although Dobu couldn't understand what Haifeng was describing, he knew that as long as his wife made up her mind, If you want to accomplish something, you rarely fail.

She is willing to work with herself to realize the dreams and ambitions that have never been realized in her previous life.

Is there anything more wonderful than this in the world?

"Feng'er, when I came back here 16 years ago, I understood a truth: Every day you and I can spend time together is a gift from Buddha. I will give everything I have to be good to you. Let's go back. Go to the tent, I have a gift.”

Duobu dragged a large mahogany box three feet long and one foot wide out from under the bed.

"I asked people to make it according to the ancient paintings. Nowadays, not many craftsmen know how to make it authentically. But the old people in the tribe said that it looks like what they saw when they were children."

"It can't be that, is it Jiujiuguan?"

"How clever. Open it and take a look."

Haifeng solemnly opened the lid.The Guan Guan was once a must-wear headdress for Mongolian women. With the demise of the Yuan Dynasty and the decline of Mongolia, it was gradually forgotten and omitted.

The one in front of me has a crown about one meter high, with bamboo bones as the inner tube, and the outer layer is made of gorilla felt, sewn with gold thread.There is a long strip on the front, decorated with white pearls, red corals, and various colored opals, spelling out three patterns.

Sheep, maple leaves, shells.

Haifeng's zodiac sign is Sheep, and the name given to her by her parents' family back then was Haifeng.

Duobu must have changed the details on the ancient painting, and finally made this silk crown that only belonged to her.

"It's beautiful. I like it very much."

"Try to wear it. I want to see how you look when you wear it before anyone else."

"Then help me and put it on top of your head. If you really want to wear it, you have to comb your hair into a bun."

Duobu placed the silk crown on Haifeng's head as gently as possible, and straightened the two ribbons on both sides, which were completely pierced by pearls.

"This, I asked them to imitate the portrait of Queen Xue Chanhan. Feng'er, you must be the most beautiful among the Mongolian queens."

"Why, have you seen all the queens' portraits?"

"You don't have to look, I just know it."

"Put it away after reading it. Don't damage it. I'll ask Axiang and the others to get up and comb my hair. After putting it on properly, I'll show it to you."

"No, you want to sleep for a while?"

Haifeng was so excited by Duobu's confession, how could he still sleep?

I had no choice but to open the box, find a Mongolian robe and a silk crown, and prepare for entering Kulun.

"I'm not going to sleep anymore! Da Khan, if you have nothing else, do you want to tell me?"

"No, there's one last one."

Dobu took advantage of his wife's current happiness and quickly threw a bomb.

"I used up all my savings to build the princess mansion! I even borrowed 3 taels from Chen Tingjing."

"what?"

Only then did Haifeng get really angry. He picked up a boxwood comb and threw it at Duobu.

Unfortunately, he was very skilled and ducked sideways without hitting him.

"Don't be angry, why are you so angry? I think it's not expensive! It only cost 10,000+ taels in total."

"Only 10,000+ taels? Just?"

Why didn't you pay attention and let him save a small treasury?

Dobu's problem of lavish spending can't be cured even by rebirth. It's engraved in his genes, right?
"10,000+ taels to build a house, you, are you building a gold house? Or a silver house?"

When asked by Haifeng, Duobu was stunned and thought for a long time before he dared to answer tentatively.

"It's not gold or silver. If I have to describe it, it's glass."

1. The exact time when the crown disappeared from the historical stage is unknown, but it was roughly the end of the Ming Dynasty.Now active again in Mongolian singing and dancing and other cultural activities, the silicon crown is basically restored according to the unearthed cultural relics and portraits, and is discounted in height, about 30-40 centimeters.

2. Xue Chan Khan was Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty.The founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and the grandson of Genghis Khan.
