Chapter 745 Hailanzhu 44
night.
After eating and drinking, go to bed.
Sheng Huan lay in Huang Taiji's arms, not wanting to sleep.
Huang Taiji was going to go on an expedition the next day, and he was not sleepy.
As he fell asleep, he missed his wife even more. Then, he didn't know what happened, but the temperature in the room rose noticeably.
*
"What's this……"
The woman had beautiful red lips and in a daze, her wrist was entangled with a pink handkerchief.
"It's a handkerchief..."
The man said in a low, hoarse voice, and kissed the petals on the woman's cheek: "I carry it with me all the time, every day."
The woman's eyes burned and her whole body turned pink: "Huang Taiji, you are vulgar!"
Hearing this, the man let out a laugh from his throat: “Only to you.”
-
The next day, the army set out.
The man on horseback looked at his wife somewhere, with the corners of his lips raised, looking very handsome.
Sheng Huan glared at him fiercely.
But in the end, there was still reluctance in his eyes.
*
After Huang Taiji went on the expedition, Sheng Huan was depressed for three days, then he continued to cheer up.
She went out casually, bought a shop, and started selling sugar.
As soon as the sugar was put on sale, its snow-white color became an instant hit, and many traveling merchants came to buy it.
"Madam, this is the account book for the past two months."
The manager was beaming with joy. After all, the business was so good that his year-end bonus and commission would be even more generous.
Nowadays, everyone can be said to treat the first wife as the God of Wealth.
Sheng Huan opened the account book and looked at it for a long time before saying, "You have done a great job. Keep up the good work."
After sending the steward away, Sheng Huan started to have lunch.
"Madam, this is the crispy duck freshly made by the kitchen."
Sheng Huan picked up a piece of meat, but she didn't know what she bit into, and her eyebrows were slightly frowned.
"My Lady, the food is not to my liking."
Tuoya was anxious. Her master was pregnant. She had heard that pregnant women would have a poor appetite. She had even seen some women become extremely skinny after pregnancy. She was afraid that her master would be like that. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
Sheng Huan took the handkerchief and spat out a mouthful of melting crystals. She looked at them, hesitant.
"This is..." She looked at Toya: "Salt?"
Toya was startled, then nodded immediately. She had never expected that the kitchen would be so careless in cooking.
The servant who was delivering food from the kitchen nearby was so frightened when he saw this scene that he fell to his knees with a plop.
"Madam, it is my fault that I have failed to do my job well!"
Sheng Huan did not blame him, but seemed to be thinking about something.
"Go and get the kitchen salt."
Although the servant was puzzled, since the eldest lady did not blame her, she naturally kowtowed and left quickly.
"Yes."
"Madam, what's the problem with this salt?"
Toya asked in a low voice.
Sheng Huan shook his head and muttered to himself: "Toya, you said that sugar can make refined food. Can salt be more refined?"
She wants to make money from the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty as well.
Maybe... Sheng Huan tapped his fingers on the table. Soap and other things could also be published through ancient books. If they made money, the rest...
She touched her belly and was about to check on the babies.
After all, she had already seen their peculiarities.
When Toya heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then she figured something out and her heart almost jumped out.
-
battlefield.
The war raged.
During the rest period, the subordinates came to report something.
The subordinates looked serious and said, "Lord Beile, there is not much salt left in the army. Without salt, the soldiers will not be able to hold on."
There is no extra salt in their place.
"We can only make a quick decision."
Huang Taiji's face looked serious.
*
Shengjing.
As Sheng Huan's belly grew bigger, her business also got better and better.
Especially with Nurhaci as a living signboard. Yes, Nurhaci liked the sugar that Sheng Huan sent him. Nowadays, white sugar is used in the Khan's Palace, and it is naturally popular with people following suit.
This day.
Sheng Huan knew that a traveling merchant had to pass through the grassland and the battlefield where Huang Taiji was, so she waved her hand.
"Please take these salts with you."
The peddler was flattered: "Isn't the lady afraid that the common people will run away with the goods?"
Sheng Huan looked calm: "Don't worry, I'll have someone follow you."
"Come again, if you dare to run away, your future business..."
She just smiled and said nothing, but everyone could understand the meaning of her words.
The merchant's heart sank, and he quickly bowed: "The lady has trusted me, and I will not let you down."
-
battlefield.
Huang Taiji was worried about salt. There were not many supplies on the grassland, and salt was the most important thing. Without salt, the fighting effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
He is worried at the moment.
Unexpectedly, I saw Su Rile running in with a happy look on his face.
"My Lord, we have sugar and salt! The Grand Wife sent someone to deliver these things!"
Huang Taiji sat up suddenly.
"Hai Lan Zhu!"
"Yes, Lord Beile, I heard from the servants that the first wife wanted to send some back to her parents' home in Khorchin, but after knowing that the merchants would pass by here, she quickly asked the merchants to send some to you, Lord Beile."
"Oh, by the way, Lord Beile." Su Rile quickly handed over the letter: "This is a letter from the First Lady."
Huang Taiji quickly took it and opened it. He saw something, but he couldn't stop smiling on his face.
"Go and get the salt and sugar!"
His Hailanzhu is so powerful that she can even extract semen from salt.
He put the letter away, and his thoughts of her came flooding in like a tide.
Soon, he will be able to go back soon.

Horqin grassland.
"Eji, come out quickly, Hailanzhu has sent a lot of things over!"
Badali rushed into Tuya Fujin's yurt like a gust of wind.
"elder sister!"
When little Princess Nomin heard the three words "Hai Lanzhu", she jumped up from the bed excitedly.
Mrs. Tuya was also surprised.
"Hai Lanzhu?"
"Yes, Eji, come out and see!" Badali said, picking up the little princess and urging her.
"Just come, come."
Lady Tuya smiled gently, but when she came out and saw the carriage full of supplies, her brain froze.
She opened her mouth wide: "God of Heaven, how could Hailanzhu send so many things!"
When the people of Korchin heard the news, they all gathered here.
Mrs. Tuya walked to the side of Chief Oba in confusion.
Chief Oba patted his wife's hand. He was actually shocked as well.
"Fujin, Beile."
At this moment, the servant in the carriage came forward and bowed.
"Our master did some business in Shengjing. He missed his wife, Prince Beile and the little princess, so he asked me to send some things over."
"Oh, right." The servant waved his hand, "The eldest lady got some white sugar, rock sugar, and fine salt, and asked me to deliver it to you."
White sugar, rock sugar? Fine salt? These are all luxury items, and even if you have money, it is difficult to buy them.
Everyone was astonished and saw what the servants had brought up.
"Oh my god! How can there be such white salt and sugar?!"
It’s not that they haven’t seen this thing before, but they have never seen something of such good quality.
"How much silver does it cost to buy this?"
"I'm afraid this is something that even silver can hardly buy."
Many people looked envious: "Tuya Oba, Hailanzhu is really filial to you."
Mrs. Tuya and Chief Oba were delighted.
The servant politely said to the others, "Our master is grateful for the help from other clan elders and asked me to bring you some gifts."
After the gift was presented, although it was not as fine as white sugar, it was still a rare sugar. Everyone was surprised and felt relieved.
"Why is Hailanzhu so polite?"
"Yeah, you're very polite."
“I don’t know if Boli and Zhaisang will regret it after knowing this.”
Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke jokingly.
"You will definitely regret it. Such a good child, I don't know what Bo Li and the others are thinking."
"It's a good thing that Boli and his men didn't succeed. If Dayuer had succeeded in marrying off, it would have been terrible."
In the dark, the haggard Lady Boli's face turned completely pale in an instant.
Dayuer's eyes turned redder: "It was obviously Hailanzhu who stole my things!"
She was so angry that her sharp voice became so loud that everyone looked over.
"Oh, they still dare to come here."
"You don't even know how to be ashamed!"
Dayuer and Lady Boli were besieged by these looks and comments, and instantly felt like they were being stabbed in the back, extremely embarrassed.
"Someone! Take them away."
Chief Oba didn't want to spoil the mood, so he gave the order in a cold voice.
