Chapter 41: Mulan Enclosure
This Ortai and Yao Yi are both in the middle of the family, and their relationship with all parties should be simpler. Compared with those poor scholars, there is also the shadow of the ancestors, and there is some affection there.
Ortai is a typical flag man, and his riding and archery martial arts are exceptionally good, and the kung fu on horseback is the same. And Yao Yi is more in line with Yinren's thoughts than Ortai.
This Yao Yi is a native of Qiantang River, Zhejiang, and his father Yao Qisheng also served as the governor of Fujian.
It can be said that whether it is the customs in Ningbo, Zhejiang or the customs in Quanzhou, Fujian, it is much easier for Yao Yi to take office. In addition, Yao Yi once served in the military camp with his father for a period of time, and it can be said that he can be civil and martial. If such a talent is used properly, his control over the four major customs will be much greater.
On the other side, it was almost halfway through September, and Kangxi and his entourage finally arrived at the Mulan paddock, where the Mongolian kings had already been waiting here with Fujin and the prince.
Before Kangxi set off, he had already sent people to deliver the news to the Mongolian ministries. In fact, the main purpose of this tour is to strengthen the ties with various Mongolian ministries, and it is also a large-scale blind date activity.
It's just that this blind date is not for Kangxi's sons. In the harem of the Qing Dynasty, there have been several Mongolian queens and princes Fujin. If there were a few more, Kangxi would still be worried about shaking his dominance.
This time, Mulan Qiuqiu came to marry several fellow clansmen, and secondly, to marry Kangxi and several princesses who had reached their age. To put it bluntly, it is a political marriage.
When Kangxi and his party arrived, no matter what the Mongolian kings thought in their hearts, they still saluted very respectfully. The guards of the guard battalion who went ahead had already prepared their tents.
Kangxi and the Queen Mother's tent are in the center, and Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui's tent are around the sanitation of the concubine Wang's family. A little bit outside is the tent of several princes and elder brothers and the tent of the clan.
The tents of the guards and the palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied them firmly surrounded the tents of these nobles, and beyond that were the tents of the Mongol kings.
From the location of this tent, it is not difficult to see that Kangxi's attitude towards the Mongolian kings is still extra guarded. When the Queen Mother saw this, she didn't say anything. Although she is from the Borzigit clan, she is only Kangxi's mother-in-law and not her biological mother after all. If you meddle in Kangxi's affairs at will, I am afraid that it will make Kangxi unhappy.
Besides, although Kangxi was guarding against the Mongol kings, he was still good to the Borzigit clan and his brothers. Now among the Mongolian tribes, the power of the Borzigit clan is still unique.
If the Queen Mother knew that Kangxi was constantly favored by the Borzigit clan, and she just wanted to set up a target for the Mongolian tribes, I don't know how she would feel in her heart. This queen mother, who grew up in the grassland since she was a child, has been protecting her well after entering the palace. Although I have seen a lot of pickled things in the palace, I still can't think too far.
It's just that smart people have the benefits of smart people, and foolish people also have the advantages of foolish people. At least she is already the queen mother, and those conspiracies and tricks can't play on her. It's fun to be confused.
Tired from running all the way, Kangxi simply exchanged a few words with the Mongolian kings, and after ordering them to retreat, they went to the tent in the middle to rest.
The scenery outside this plug is really good. Although it is already autumn, the weather is starting to get cooler day by day. But this endless meadow is still exceptionally green.
The cool autumn breeze blew, the grass was low, and three or two small animals also showed their figures. This magnolia paddock is a good place that has been specially selected. Not far from the tent there was a narrow stream that could be crossed, and not far away it merged into a small clear lake.
Nearby animals often come to the lake to drink. The wet dirt was full of footprints left by small animals.
After resting for most of the day, Kangxi and his party finally relieved themselves. The palace maids and eunuchs at the bottom have no rest. As soon as they arrived at the place, the rough ones all moved the pots and pans they brought with them.
I simply built a stove. Some melons, fruits and vegetables have been sent over by the Chang Parallel Palace before. Everyone received the task, washing the vegetables, and cooking. A grassland in Nuoda suddenly became popular.
When it was dark, someone had already been instructed to build a bonfire in the large open space in front of Kangxi's tent. The orange firelight hit the crowd of people, and it looked extraordinarily peaceful.
After Kangxi woke up, he simply washed up. When they got out of the camp tent, they were already out of the palace, and if they still saw the sky in the tent, what fun was there to talk about?
There was movement on Kangxi's side, and several concubines immediately got the news, and they all hurriedly got up and dressed up. Concubine Hui looked a little tired when she looked at it, and her face could only be said to be upright. The eldest brother looked at it, but he and Concubine Hui were particularly imaginative.
When Concubine Yi woke up, it was refreshed. A little bit of powder, a two-handful of prefixes, dotted with some palace flowers in the middle, the hairpin on the butterfly love flower style of red gold inlaid ruby pearl step shake, it looks particularly bright and moving. It can be seen that when he was young, he must have been a beautiful embryo.
As for the concubine Wang, the flag clothes on her body and the jewelry on her head all look very plain. Every move is full of the gentleness and touching of Jiangnan women. It's just that those thin little feet, when they walk, they look weak and willow to support the wind, and they are beautiful, but only she knows the pain inside.
When Kangxi came out of the tent, these people also came out of the tent one after another. The rest of the people got the news and rushed to this side. The tent area, which seemed a little deserted just now, is particularly lively at this time.
After everyone sat down, Kangxi ordered the banquet to begin. The whole circle of sheep that had been leaning against the huge campfire was almost ripe by this time. The little eunuch brought one to Kangxi's face, and the other eunuchs brought it to the rest of the table one by one.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. People who grew up on the grasslands are the most enthusiastic and unrestrained. Taking advantage of the meager wine, they walked to the center of the open space one by one, singing a rough and loud Mongolian tune, and dancing to the cheers of the crowd.
Those Mongolian Geges have long been instructed by their fathers to take advantage of this opportunity to find a wishful husband for themselves. One by one, while dancing emotionally, they secretly looked at the young talents around them.
found that he was not shy when he saw the right eye, so he walked in front of the other party generously, took a glass of wine from the hand of the eunuch next to him and drank it directly.
Then with hearty laughter, he returned to the crowd and began to dance, but his eyes never left those wishful husbands that he fancied.
