Qing Dynasty: I Rely on Games To Fight For Favor - Chapter 156
Mongolia is also a nation that grew up on horseback. The two princesses are also good at riding. After running, they are also aroused to win. They don’t believe that they will lose to the Jiao Didi Emperor Qing.
With all their strength, they chased Xia Mian.
However, Xia Mian ran farther and farther, and soon there was only one back.
The two princesses were out of breath and had to admit that they really couldn’t catch up with Xia Mian.
At this time, Geler and Haizhigu came up from the left and the other. They were faster than the two princesses, but because of their status, they kept following behind. Now, they think…
The two princesses nodded to their sons respectively, and went to catch up with the concubine, to fight for their faces!
The two princes immediately slapped their horses on their backs and flew out like a whirlwind. In terms of riding skills, they haven’t served anyone yet. What’s more, Da Ge Ge is still watching from behind. There are so many of them today. If they lose to a pony, what will their faces be?
The two princes were much more aggressive than Kangxi, and with a breath of breath in their hearts, they actually slowly narrowed the distance with Xia Mian.
Seeing this, the yellow rabbit shook his little tail proudly and swish to speed up.
There was a hill in the front. Normally, you should go around from the side, and the Beira River in the back, but Huang Tu is best at climbing the mountains. This hill is nothing to it.
With a leap of the body, it jumped onto the hills and ran forward without any reduction in speed.
In the back, both Gele and Hairigu were dumbfounded. Their Mongolian horses can also walk some low hills, but it is impossible for them to cross mountains like a yellow rabbit.
At this time, the people behind also arrived. They looked at the backs of Huang Tu and Xia Mian with a sincere feeling of admiration. The Central Plains is rich in resources, and it is indeed not possible for them to Mongolia, just such a pony, it turned out to be a treasure that is hard to find in the world.
At this time, Xia Mian, who pulled the wind incomparably, was not happy at all. On the mountain, it’s no better than the plains. The yellow rabbit jumped like this, and she was so awkward that she was about to start to feel dizzy.
Finally, it started to go downhill, and it was even more uncomfortable.
In front is an open grassland, yellow-green grass spreads to the distance, a clear river flows quietly in it, and a variety of purple and pink flowers bloom next to it. It was a beautiful scene, but it was mixed with it. People and animals together ruin the sense of beauty.
Mongols are almost all herders. The herders live by water and grass. Last year, there was a severe drought. Many small rivers were dried up, the pasture was thin, and a lot of cattle and sheep died. They had to travel all the way to the Beira River.
The Beira River is not too wide, and the herdsmen come, of course it is crowded and chaotic. Especially, a few days ago, the Qing emperor wanted to camp nearby, and they were expelled from the upper reaches to the lower reaches, and they were all crowded to this place.
Four or five tribes are actually crowded in this river bend.
Xia Mian stood on the hillside and looked upstream. There was no one there and the scenery was beautiful. It should be their destination.
Hesitating whether to go there or not, at this moment, a child ran out of the tent closest to her. The child was about six or seven years old, and his face was a little black and red, and he looked a little dirty in a shabby and wide sheepskin jacket.
She hugged a lamb, ran very fast, and soon reached the hillside where Xia Mian was located.
Behind her, a woman dressed as a herder chased it out, “Wurizhu, stop.” she shouted.
The little girl kept going, but when she was going up the hillside, she suddenly fell and rolled down the hillside, seeing Xia Mian’s heart tight, what is this, is the little girl okay?
The woman hurried to help the little girl.
The little girl stood up, hugged the lamb next to her, and pleaded, “Saubu is my friend, Eji, don’t kill him.”
Eji means Mongolian mother. Mongolian is often used in the Qing palace, and Xia Mian can also understand some simple conversations.
The woman was also sad, the lamb, for them, was just like the seeds of the Han people, and they couldn’t be killed without being forced to a certain level. But now, they really can’t help it. Their tribe is small and has been severely affected. Once winter has passed, only these lambs are left. They have come to the Beira River with all their hardships, so they can’t starve to death at this time, right?
However, I have eaten the lamb now, and I don’t know how to live the rest of the day. When the woman thinks of this, she feels upset and stretches out her hand to grab the lamb in the girl’s arms.
The little girl kept crying, tears in her nose and tears, which shocked the people around, but everyone looked at it, but no one said anything.
Whose life is not as sad!
The lamb seemed to feel the danger too, and bleated.
Xia Mian walked down the hillside, “Don’t kill this lamb, how much money I can buy it.” She stopped the woman.
She was riding a horse today without wearing that heavy and luxurious dress, but this light riding outfit was enough to shock the woman. The exquisite clothes pattern, the jasper accessories on the waist, and the top turquoise on the neck all illustrate her status as a noble person.
The woman stood there bewildered, not knowing whether to salute her or what to do.
Xia Mian didn’t want to reveal her identity, so she took out a silver coin and handed it to the woman.
The woman’s eyes lit up, and the money was enough to buy two sturdy goats.
It’s just that she doesn’t dare to pick it up yet.
Xia Mian stuffed the silver into her hand and turned to look at the lamb and the little girl.
The little girl hugged the lamb tightly.
Xia Mian smiled. “It’s called Shaobu?” She touched the lamb’s head. The wool was soft and dense, and it felt good.
Her attitude won the favor of the little girl, and she boldly replied, “Yeah.”
The Chaubman language means bird. It is illogical to give a sheep the name bird. But kids, they always have weird ideas, they are wild, and sometimes they are cute.
“I bought it from your Eji. Now I give it to you. From now on, it will always be your friend.” Xia Mian said.
The little girl opened her eyes wide, “Really?”
“Of course.” Xia Mian looked at the woman. She was no longer the little promise she had back then. The expression in her eyes was full of the aura of a superior.
The woman understood, and quickly assured the little girl, “Yes, it will be yours alone from now on.”
The little girl was happy, she lifted the lamb high, and smiled, “Saubu, have you heard? From now on you will be my forever friend, we can be together every day.” She said, she also brought Turned the lamb two circles.
The crisp laughter was very sweet in the sun.
Xia Mian was also in a good mood, so she looked around.
There were a lot of people around at this time, they wanted to come and ask Xia Mian if he could buy sheep, but they didn’t dare to stand there hesitantly.
They are not in very good condition. A tribe arrived here yesterday. Many cattle and sheep died along the way, and several people fell ill. At this time, their faces were full of sadness.
Behind them, there are some cattle and sheep and other livestock. Among them, the cows are a bit smaller and very thin, and you can almost see the ribs on their waists. Sheep, spring is here, it’s time to shear the wool, looking at a large group of sheep, cutting the wool, they are also skinny.
Someone in the middle is cooking. Mongolians generally eat beef and mutton as food, but at this time, there are a lot of green things in their pot, soup and water, I don’t know if it is wild vegetables or weeds.
The nomads are less able to resist disasters than the people in the Central Plains because their property is mainly cattle and sheep. Once an accident occurs, they will have nothing. Unlike the people in the Central Plains, they have the habit of saving money, and they also have houses, fields and other industries at home.
Xia Mian frowned when she looked at it. She understood why Buren Living Buddha was so worried, and the people of Mongolia were really sad.
Can you help these people? Last year, there was a bumper harvest in the Qing Dynasty, but it was also cultivated by the people so hard, and there was no reason to give it to people in vain. If you don’t give it away for nothing, you can see that you can’t afford it at all if you look at the appearance of these people.
What’s more, even if they are given food to let them spend this spring, who knows what autumn will be like, if there is another disaster, wouldn’t it be the same?
Teaching him to fish is worse than teaching him to fish. Xia Mian thought quickly to see if there was a way to get the best of both worlds.
Suddenly, she saw that tuft of things, and her heart moved. Maybe it could be this way?
But this is not a trivial matter, she has to go back and discuss it with the boss.
Xia Mian was thinking about it. Next to him, the two princesses rushed over with someone.
The costumes of the princess and the attendants were recognizable by these people, and they immediately fell to their knees, trembling, fearing to anger them, and also worried that they were here to drive them away.
Princess Mobei was a little embarrassed to see these people. Most of these messy people seemed to be the people of Mobei. How did the Baofei Empress see it? Concubine is not angry, right?
“Baby Concubine, your horse is really a treasure.” She interrupted.
At this time, the woman and the people on her knees knew that Xia Mian turned out to be the concubine of Qing Dynasty. No wonder she is so beautiful and noble.
The woman was hesitating whether to apology and return the silver to Xia Mian, but Xia Mian took everyone away and went upstream.
The woman looked at her back, clenched the silver in her hand, and prayed silently. May the Buddha bless the concubine, she is such a good person.
The little girl hugged the lamb and looked at Xia Mian, her eyes glowing again and again.
The upper reaches of the Beira River is truly beautiful. Xia Mian asked the yellow rabbit to go on his own. The yellow rabbit seemed to particularly like the small flowers of various colors. He smelled this one while sniffing the other, and had a great time playing.
Xia Mian stood by the river, looking at the green grass and flowers in the distance, and felt refreshed.
The two princesses were not in the mood to look at the scenery. They talked to Xia Mian for a while, and then cared about Da Gege’s side.
After stealing a floating life for half a day, everyone returned to the camp in the afternoon.
At this time, Kangxi was still stuck with the two khans.
The two khan’s demands were very urgent. They needed food to tide over the difficulties, but Kangxi didn’t want to give them. It was easy to give them food, but it was difficult to take it back. Grain was cultivated by the people of the Qing Dynasty. It is not easy to get, and of course it must be eaten carefully.
He wanted to continue to the next topic and talk about the purpose of his coming here. The two khans didn’t respond at all. They wanted food, and they didn’t want to talk about anything without food.
Kangxi is annoyed, okay, then everyone will drag it to see who can drag it.
