268. The master is lonely
"Your father is a genius in horse racing, and it is estimated that there will only be one in a few decades. ”
In fact, what Emperor Wu wants to say is a common saying, when God closes a door for you, he will inevitably open a window for you.
Hemophilia is a genetic disease that exists in many nobles, which results from the marriage and birth of children by close relatives.
Due to severe consanguineous marriages, uncles and nieces, cousins, etc., members of the Habsburg family had serious genetic diseases, the most conspicuous of which was the long jaw.
Despite being born deformed, their god did not kill with a single shot, endowed Mr. Carney with an unrivaled super-strong horsemanship.
His eyes seemed to have been refined from the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun, and he could observe extremely subtle changes between horses, so as to judge the quality of horses.
The dozen or so horses on John's farm were exactly what he "saw" this way, and he used his naked eye to select two of the best red mares from hundreds of horses to mate and thus produce excellent offspring.
Over time, the foals bred became better and better, and finally formed the dozen thoroughbred horses that are now John Shepherd.
"Can you tell me what your father is doing sitting in there, and this is also one of his ways of doing soma?" asked Emperor Wu.
Little John smiled and nodded, "My father's most precious possession is the eyes, and he said that without these two eyes, the Habsburgs would have given birth to a peasant, and with these eyes, there would have been a smoker who loves to drink." ”
Forehead... Smokers who love to drink, this is not much different from whether they have a pair of discerning eyes!
"We'll know tomorrow morning. With that, little John beckoned the three of them to the house for dinner.
The family ate happily, steak and wine, not caring that their father or husband was sitting in the stinking stable.
Mr. Carney was suffering for the breeding of his horses, while he was feasting and drinking in her house, and Emperor Wu felt that this was not good.
He wanted to go to the stables to see what was going on, but was persuaded by little John.
"Don't worry, at this time, my father hates being disturbed the most. ”
Well, Emperor Wu could only pretend to be confused and drink with everyone.
When it was a little later, Tex and Patricia left first, and they would drive over tomorrow to pick up Emperor Wu and Sonic Cat, and maybe they would be able to bring back a thoroughbred mare back to the pasture when the time came, and it was exciting to think about it.
Emperor Wu planned to stay and stay overnight at John's Ranch. They have a room here for entertaining guests, which is not bad, much better than the hotel.
It was close to ten o'clock in the evening, Emperor Wu was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep, first, he couldn't sleep when he changed beds, and second, he was worried about Uncle Carney.
Emperor Wu had seen the environment in the stable, not to mention a place to sleep, not even a place to lie down a little.
If it was true as little John said, it was a miracle that Mr. Carney was able to spend an evening inside.
After a while, Emperor Wu began to yawn and tried to keep himself awake until Mr. Carney walked out of the stable.
At last he fell asleep, and the next morning he got up and hurried to the window to look at the stable.
At this time, the doors on the east and west sides of the stables were all open, and the smell of horses wafted in the air. After a day of exercise, Emperor Wu's nose was already able to get used to the taste.
Mrs. Carney came over and invited Emperor Wu to have breakfast with them, and Emperor Wu was more concerned about Carney.
"Is Mr. Carney out?" asked Emperor Wu.
"Of course, my husband just came back from herding his horses outside and is now taking a bath. Madame said with a smile.
Emperor Wu looked at the table below, it was only half past six, Mr. Carney should have not slept all night, and actually ran out early in the morning to herd the horses, this is really a strange person.
At the dinner table, Emperor Wu met the energetic von Carney, and he was excited, although his eyes were bloodshot, but this did not reduce his interest in the slightest.
"Thank you, Mr. Carney, for all this. Emperor Wu respectfully thanked him.
Carney stuffed a small piece of steak into his mouth and began to chew with some effort.
"In a sense, I want to thank you, the Sonic Cat is a rare good horse, it opened my eyes. It can be said that the sonic cat was born on a horse farm, but its body belongs to nature. ”
Carney's words were a little twisty, and Emperor Wu, who didn't sleep well last night, nodded and listened to him analyze the advantages of the sonic cat.
It is not surprising that Emperor Wu knew these advantages, because he had Shennong's knowledge. Mr. Carney knows that, it's all talent and experience.
"The sonic cat occasionally shrugs its shoulders, not because of its learning from humans, but because of the wide vertebrae on its back. Carney said.
Emperor Wu listened very seriously, even if he held the golden finger.
Carney went on to say: "That broad bone is a pain for the Sonic cat, especially when it is placed in the saddle. ”
"That's right, sir, the sonic cat does have a bone in its back that is different from other horses, and the day before the Melbourne Cup, I changed it to a large saddle, which will greatly reduce the pain of the sonic cat, and it is easy to show its real strength. ”
By the morning sun shining into the house, Emperor Wu saw a group photo of dozens of people, signed by the Habsburgs, which seemed to be a group photo of their family.
"Young man, you can see at a glance what is wrong, and you are very admirable, and tell me how you know that the saddle is too big. ”
"Feeling, or a sixth sense. ”
Emperor Wu said with a grin, this is thanks to the help of the old man Shennong.
After breakfast, Emperor Wu basically understood what happened last night.
As little John said, Carney spent the whole night in the stable, leaning on the haystack and squinting when he was tired, and drinking the little kettle he carried with him when he was thirsty.
The rest of the time, Mr. Carney sat there staring at the sonic cat, and it was estimated that the humane sonic cat could be stared at by him.
Throughout the night, Carney's every move was watched by Carney. His brain is like a speeding computer, constantly analyzing the data stored in his head, and finally matching the Sonic cat with the most suitable mare based on the results.
Hearing this, Emperor Wu immediately took a few mouthfuls of food, and was in a hurry to go out to see the sonic cat and the mare selected by Mr. Carney.
Walking into the yard, Emperor Wu found that the two horses were very sweet, walking side by side, rubbing each other's bodies with their heads from time to time.
That mare is a flower horse, with beautiful stripes on her body and plump limbs, and she is a beauty in the horse world.
"Well, my horse is one of the best of the seventeen, and to be honest I don't want Jenny to leave the land. ”
Jenny should be the name of this flower horse, and Emperor Wu felt that the name renaming rate was too high, so he called it Xiaohua.
Emperor Wu felt that Mr. Carney would definitely not ask for his own money, and he was a white wolf with empty gloves.
No sooner had he fantasized than Mr. Carney began to make an offer, confident in his horse.
"You can take it with you for $500,000, knowing that it's definitely worth more than that. Carney said.
500,000 is nothing to Emperor Wu, as long as the excellent genes of the sonic cat can be passed on and stand on the world stage, it is worth the cost.
