Chapter 744 Hailanzhu 43
This is Sheng Huan.
She soon found out what was happening on Zhezhe's side.
She twisted her hands, and a hint of darkness flashed across her eyes.
-
One month later, Guanjuyuan.
"Congratulations, Lord Beile, and congratulations to the Grand Wife!"
"The eldest wife is pregnant!"
Doctor Zhang clasped his hands together, looking extremely happy.
When Sheng Huan and Huang Taiji heard this, they looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
The woman smiled gently, her palms placed on her belly, her eyes gentle.
"Huang Taiji, our baby is here."
Huang Taiji rubbed his wife's head, thinking of the three little children in his dream, and he was in high spirits and could not hide his joy.
"Yeah. We'll see them soon."
Doctor Zhang, who was standing by, was a little suspicious when he heard this.
Why did the Fourth Prince use the word "men"? He was puzzled. But he didn't take it to heart.
He just thought that the Fourth Prince was so happy that he went crazy and made a slip of the tongue.
"Su Rile, look at the reward." Huang Taiji waved his hand.
-
The news that Guanjuyuan's wife was pregnant quickly spread throughout the Prince's Mansion.
Everyone in the mansion was in high spirits.
Zhezhe was surprised. When she heard the news, she was so shocked by the shock that she even accidentally knocked over a teacup.
"So... so fast..."
She fell on the couch.
"Why does Changshengtian favor... Hailanzhu so much?"
"Why..."
According to the date, it has only been a little over a month since Hailanzhu and Prince Beile got married, and yet... they are pregnant?!
As for her, Zhezhe touched her belly with a pale face. She had been in the Fourth Prince's Mansion for several years, but there was still no movement... and she didn't even get close to becoming the legitimate wife.
"Fu Jin..."
Zhezhe ignored the servant. She lowered her head and suddenly clenched her fists.
She can't lose.
-
Time flies, and a few days pass in a flash.
Guanju Courtyard.
Sheng Huan is reading a book.
"What are you looking at? You look so absorbed in it."
She was hugged from behind. When she turned around, it was none other than Huang Taiji.
The woman looked happy, raised her hand, and held the book in front of Huang Taiji.
"Huang Taiji, look, this ancient book... actually contains a method for extracting white sugar."
This ancient book was "casually" bought by Sheng Huan and Huang Taiji when they went out a few days ago.
Huang Taiji rested his chin on the woman's shoulder. Hearing this, he looked at the contents of the book and read ten lines at a glance. This method seems to be credible, but... the method of making white sugar has always been strictly guarded by those sugar-making families. How could it be leaked?
Come to think of it, it’s probably not credible.
The woman had no idea what he was thinking, and her voice became more and more curious: "The book also says that if you use this method, the sugar extracted will be as white as snow, with distinct particles."
Sugar is very expensive nowadays and is a luxury. Even when it is provided to the nobility, it is not so clean in color, and most of it is yellow-brown.
Seeing the woman's eager look, Huang Taiji put his arm around her waist:
"Want to try?"
The woman's cheeks turned pink, but she nodded vigorously and said coquettishly, "I'm a little curious."
I have nothing to do. It's really boring to stay in the mansion. It's good to make money. After all, in the future...
"Then do it." Huang Taiji was particularly generous: "Ask the servants to buy anything you need."
As long as my wife is happy.
The woman really laughed.
She turned around and kissed the man on the face: "Huang Taiji, you are so nice."
Huang Taiji felt elated instantly when he was kissed.
-
May.
News came from the Khan's Palace that Nurhaci ordered Huang Taiji to go to the grassland to attack Ligdan Khan.
When the news reached the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Sheng Huan was instructing his servants to make candy. Hearing this, she was not surprised at all.
"sugar!"
"The sugar really came out! So white!"
"Madam, we really succeeded!"
Toya didn't know what Sheng Huan was thinking. At this moment, she was pointing at the jar with a look of surprise.
I saw a lot of small white crystals densely popping out on the jar.
Sheng Huan reached out and took a little to taste it, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Toya, send someone to pack some. Now that the candy is made, it will be good for Huang Taiji to take it with him when he goes to war."
Sugar is a strategic item in a certain sense, and it plays an important role in replenishing human energy.
"Yes, Madam."
After making the candy, the others were in high spirits.
Sheng Huan didn't say anything. He went back into the house and packed some underwear for Huang Taiji.
When Huang Taiji came back, he saw the woman sitting on the bed, sorting her clothes carefully.
Her expression was so gentle, and faintly seemed to be filled with worry.
"Hai Lan Zhu."
Huang Taiji strode over.
Hearing this, the woman raised her eyes.
"Huang Taiji, you are back."
"Yes." Huang Taiji sat down and held the woman's hand: "Don't worry about the expedition. I will be back soon."
The woman blinked her eyelashes and threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck, her voice choked with sobs.
"My baby and I will be waiting for you at home."
She touched the man's eyes, her eyebrows bent: "Besides, my Huang Taiji is so powerful, he will definitely come back safely."
Huang Taiji felt that his breathing was a little disordered.
How come my wife is so good at talking?
But he also saw the tears hidden in the woman's eyes.
Thinking that they would separate not long after getting married...
The man lowered his head and kissed her eyelashes devoutly.
"wait for me."
The woman nodded vigorously.
Huang Taiji was worried that she would be worried and that it would be bad for her health, so he changed the subject and hugged her in his arms: "I heard that you went to the kitchen today?"
"Yes." The woman's eyes lit up, she grabbed his big hand, and danced with excitement: "Sugar, white sugar is made!"
"Is it done?"
Huang Taiji was also surprised.
He thought to himself, his Hailanzhu was really amazing.
"Yes. I just tasted it, it's very sweet and white, exactly like what the book says." She couldn't wait: "The amount this time is not much. But it's good that it's made. You go to the battle tomorrow, take it with you."
"Toya!" Sheng Huan looked outside the house: "Bring in some candy."
"You worked hard to make this, keep it for yourself." Huang Taiji saw his wife's efforts.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Huan pinched his face.
"I'm at home. If you want to eat, just ask the servants to make it. You can take it with you. The book says that sugar can restore physical strength. You have to take good care of it for me, okay?"
Faced with his wife's "threat", Huang Taiji felt her deep concern and concern.
"I will listen to Hai Lanzhu." He hugged her waist: "But I want to eat with you today."
Sheng Huan smiled.
"Madam, Lord Beile, the candy is here."
After a few breaths, Toya came in from outside.
She presented the sugar and placed it on the table.
When Huang Taiji saw the white sugar, he was also surprised.
This sugar is truly free of impurities, just like white snow, so white and clear.
"Stupefied?"
Sheng Huan saw him like this and squeezed his big hand with amusement.
Huang Taiji nodded honestly. He really didn't expect that what was written in the book was actually true.
The woman's eyes brightened. She picked up a small spoon, dipped some sugar in it, and put it next to the man's mouth.
"Taste it."
The man obeyed and lowered his head.
Immediately, the mouth was filled with sweetness, without even a trace of the bitter taste of other sugars.
"How is it?" Sheng Huan moved closer to him.
Huang Taiji: "Sweet as honey."
That night, we used new white sugar to enhance the flavor of dinner, and many dishes tasted even better.
