Horse Market
It’s a bit like going out to have fun!
The men who had to be avoided all set off with Kangxi, and the eldest brother even promised to take them to horse racing!
Haifeng got up very early that day, and at dawn, he took Shutai and Axiang to dress up.
Although the eldest brother and the eldest princess only hinted briefly, Haifeng was sure that she would be able to see Duobu today.
She hated herself for bringing only seven or eight pieces of clothing!
There are no riding clothes. Fortunately, Haifeng is now small. Axiang has long been honed by poverty at home and has a pair of skillful hands. The people around the eldest princess are also willing to help. They put a crimson red dress with gold embroidery all over the ground overnight.
The style of the robe has been changed and it barely fits.
After choosing from left to right, Haifeng decided to wear a pair of topaz earrings with a willow leaf pattern and a pearl headband on her head, leaving nothing else behind.
In his previous life, Haifeng's riding skills were taught by Duobu himself. He usually likes his wife to dress up nicely, but she must dress lightly when riding a horse. If the hairpin ring falls off and hurts the horse's hoof, it will be dangerous for the person and it will be a pity for the horse.
Axiang stayed up all night making her clothes, her eyes were red, and she still managed to give Mother Fucha a hand.
Haifeng asked her to go to bed, but Axiang refused.
"My servant didn't finish his errand yesterday, so please let me serve you, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well."
"That's all, then you have to rest while I go out. Bring Rouge."
Shutai quickly held up the square of silk floss, and Axiang took the jade, scratched his head and rolled it gently to bring out the color, and gave it to Haifeng to dot his lips.
Aunt Sai Lun, who was packing the riding equipment, saw this and couldn't help teasing her.
"Gege has never liked these powders. We usually have to coax them with nice words before we are willing to put them on our faces. Why did we change our temper today and want to use them ourselves?"
"Salon's mother loves to tease me."
Hai Feng blushed, hastily finished her morning makeup and stood up, causing her earrings to fight and jingle.
Aunt Fucha reconciled the situation and gave her a cloak to wear.
"Gege is born with good looks, she doesn't care whether she uses these things or not."
"Exactly, I'm an old fool, Gege, please stop being angry. It's rare to relax for a day."
After laughing for a while, Haifeng took the two nuns out and left the two maids to rest. Then he called Zhang Shun and Fugui, and together they went to the stable to pick up horses.
She thought she was diligent, but she didn't expect that her eldest brother had arrived early, wearing a crisp white gauze uniform and a light-colored jasper belt, watching the slaves brushing their horses.
"It's so early, fourth sister."
"Greetings to my eldest brother. He just arrived early."
"I'm used to getting up early to go to the study on weekdays, but I couldn't sleep, so I got up and took a closer look at this good horse. In a while, it will be the fourth sister's. Come and bring over the one-and-a-half-year-old white mare.
."
This snow-white little guy with silvery hair had just appeared, and Aunt Sai Lun, who was born in Mongolia, couldn't stop praising it.
"Oh, my eldest brother is so polite. I have lived so long, and I have seen many good horses, but this one...if I raise it for another year and a half, it will grow taller and may be worth thousands of gold!"
Mongolian culture respects white and loves it as holy and noble.
The horse's hair is so pure that it is almost as good as a tribute.
Haifeng has already guessed the origin of this horse.
The first gift Dobu gave her in her previous life was a little mare similar to this one.
The white horse 'Chasu' (Author's note: Mongolian, snow) under his crotch is the wild horse he tamed when he first participated in the 'Fake Horse' when he was seven years old. It is a true good horse, and Dobu regards it as a brother.
Generally, many beauties have been found to accompany it one after another, mostly white horses.
I don’t know if Zha Su will be angry with her for “taking love away with a sword”.
(Author's note: There is no official conclusion on the rules of horse cheating. This book adopts the explanation from "Yanbao Zaji·Mongolian Circus Fake" written by Zhao Yi in the Qing Dynasty, that is, a group of children compete to see who can tame the horse faster. And currently in the
When traveling to Inner Mongolia, you can spend money to participate in it, a fake horse feast with a performance is not the same thing)
While they were talking, the eldest princess and the third princess also arrived.
The eldest princess had already learned how to ride a horse, so she picked a three-year-old black horse that was taller and had better leg strength, and she happily led it to the racecourse by hand. Although the third princess also loved the beauty of the white mare, she could
She didn't dare to get close to any animal larger than her without someone accompanying her. The eldest brother had no choice but to ask Aunt Sai Lun to teach the third princess some basic knowledge such as how to pull the reins, while he personally held Hai's hand.
Feng mounts his horse.
While everyone was ignoring him, Haifeng asked his eldest brother for advice in a low voice.
"Isn't this horse too eye-catching?"
"No, he first sold it to King Darhan through a merchant and then offered it to Khan Amma through his uncle's hand. You can just ride it."
Haifeng silently listened to her eldest brother telling her some horse riding skills that she was already familiar with, and thought about the past.
Like most aristocratic men of this era, Dobu had no idea about money. He knew how to spend money but knew nothing about making money.
Tuxie Tuhan's tribe was destroyed by the war and lost a lot of property, and the dowry she improvised was not very realistic. The cash in the princess's mansion was initially very tight.
Fortunately, fighting is really profitable.
Dobu is indeed good at fighting.
From time to time, Kangxi rewarded her with gold, silver, silk and satin based on her military merits. The seized items were divided into many pieces and sent directly to her home, so her life became more and more comfortable day by day.
But Haifeng didn't like the feeling of having no independent source of income and having her palms turned up, so she discussed with her husband whether she could try to start some business and provide small subsidies.
Of course Duobu didn't agree or understand it at first, but Haifeng sacrificed her appearance and dignity and coaxed him for several nights before she got him to let go.
Like most Mongolian tribes, she set her sights on the cattle and horse business in Zhangjiakou.
In the first two years, Haifeng didn't know the ropes. She didn't make any money back and even lost a lot of money. Duobu often used this to tease her.
But later, she finally hired an honest and knowledgeable manager, and she became a veteran of horses. Not only did she make money, Dobu also admired her. The couple could talk about horses all day long.
.
Money is really important.
Only when I opened the government office did I realize that I had to calculate the daily necessities, otherwise I would be in debt if I was not careful.
She really wants to start a horse business now and make money! Save money!
"Fourth sister, did you hear what I said?"
"Ah? Hmm!"
Haifeng quickly adjusted his posture, held the reins firmly, gently clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and steadily let the horse trot.
"Brother, do you think this is the case?"
"Yes, the fourth sister is really talented at riding horses! You will know it after just listening once!"
The eldest brother turned around and looked back, and saw that the eldest princess had become familiar with the horses, and the third princess dared to mount the horse with the help of Aunt Sai Lun, so he ordered his men to go ahead to clear the place, and after burning incense, he took them out for a walk.
His entourage also led a fat yellow horse for his master to ride on.
Haifeng took out the hidden target scope from his arms and checked the makeup one last time.
Finally, she was finally reunited with Dobu.
