Chapter 180: A Milk Fellow
Two men in the same style of short shirts, holding ropes in their hands, slowly approached the last stable, and a middle-aged man who looked like an official followed behind them, whispering something with a somewhat wary expression, as if to direct their actions.

Fang Cai Ling Fei introduced that the outfits of the two people in front of him should be the horse servants sent by Wei Guo, who are responsible for the feeding and care of the red-blooded horses.
The two servants stared at the direction of the stable for a moment, moving step by step and approaching carefully, just approaching the fence gate of the No. 10 stable, before the hand was on it, the pure black horse of the No. 9 stable next to him suddenly raised his head and raised his front hooves, only to hear the two long neighs of "Yu Yu", and the two front hooves of the No. 9 horse almost fell against the fence!
The two servants who had just approached the stables with ropes were so frightened that they took a few steps back!
Seeing the two retreat, the No. 9 horse raised its neck again and neighed, with a thick anger and warning, the pure white red-blooded horse that approached the No. 10 fence through the fence, even Shen Nisheng, who was not a horse, saw the obvious meaning of protection for the No. 10 white horse in its posture!
Shen Nishang was curious, and when she looked back, the other people in the stable, including Mu Qing and the few guards who were still flying with Kong Xiang's small fan, also surrounded them.
"May I ask what this is for?" Shen Nishang asked the middle-aged official.
The two servants were apparently at his disposal.
The middle-aged official was in a bad mood by these two horses, and when he saw Shen Ni's face and ordinary makeup, he was just an ordinary civilian woman who came to see the excitement, so he didn't want to take care of it, but when he turned his head and saw Ling Fei and his party standing beside Shen Nisheng, his face suddenly became enthusiastic.
"I've seen Young Master Ling. β
walked over quickly, and his expression was instantly flattering and polite.
He has served in the Imperial Horse Division for many years, and he is familiar with the children of all families in the royal capital, and he is even more impressed by Ling Fei.
A few years ago, when the last batch of red-blooded horses from Weiguo came over, the red-blooded horses that Ling Fei auctioned were the ones with the highest bidding price over the years, totaling 48,300 taels, and if he didn't remember anyone, he wouldn't remember the wealthy Young Master Ling of Enhou Mansion!
Ling Fei bowed his head indifferently: "These are my friends. β
The middle-aged official knew what he meant when he heard the song, and immediately explained with a cordial smile to Shen Nishang: "This No. 10 horse is sick, and it has not been without drinking or sleeping for several days, and we are planning to remove it. β
Only then did Shen Nishang realize that the state of the No. 10 horse, which was next to No. 9 across the stable fence, was a little wrong. Horse Nine was so loud that it seemed to be listless and lowered its head after looking up, and stood close to Horse Nine, lazily as if it didn't even bother to move.
Compared to the other red-blooded horses in the stable, Horse Ten was not only in poor spirits, but even the fur on his body had lost its luster, and he obviously looked sick and mentally ill.
Not only the No. 10 horse, but also the No. 9 horse, which was surrounded by a fence and looked like it was maintained, was also a little dull and not as energetic as the other horses, and at this time, the No. 9 black horse stared vigilantly at the two horse servants with ropes, and his front hooves kept scraping on the ground, looking very anxious.
"Is this No. 9 sick too?" Before Shen Nishang could say anything, Mu Qing approached the stable and looked back, and asked.
"Nine is not sick. The middle-aged official sighed, "Among the ten red-blooded horses, these No. 9 and No. 10 are brothers and sisters born of one child." Number 10 is the last female foal to emerge from the mother's womb, and number 9 is the male foal that comes out of the womb first. I don't know what is wrong with this No. 10 horse, but for seven or eight days, he was able to drink some water at first, but now he doesn't even drink water. The No. 9 horse was able to eat and drink at first, but in the past two days, the No. 10 horse seemed to have failed, and he refused to eat, drink or sleep. How can we do this, we think that we can simply move these ten horses first, and at least one can be saved. But I didn't expect this No. 9 horse, you see-"
The situation was already clear, and the middle-aged man didn't continue, only spread his hands and smiled bitterly.
The people around them also whispered to each other in amazement, and sighed with a sigh on their faces. I was amazed that this red-blooded horse was really extraordinary, and I sighed at the abandoned white horse No. 10.
"Have you ever had a veterinarian?" Ling Fei asked.
"Why didn't you invite?" the middle-aged official said helplessly, "These are all ancestors! They Weiguo already brought horse doctors with them, and all of our kings have come to see them in the past few days." If you can still think of a way, you won't be planning to keep one by one. β
If it hadn't been for the No. 9 horse guarding the past few days, the No. 10 horse probably wouldn't even be able to drink those few sips of water.
The crowd around sighed again.
is really human, and Shen Nishang can't help but be more curious.
She thought for a moment and walked in the direction of the stable fence gate.
"Miss be careful! This red-blooded horse is not a little bit temperamental, and his strength is also great, so be careful of hurting it. The middle-aged official reminded with his neck stretched behind his head.
Mu Qing was already standing close to the stable, and when he saw Shen Nishang walking forward, he also followed forward.
The horse number nine looked at the two of them warily, its front hooves grinding more and more rapidly, and its snort was constantly puffing, as if it would be furious in the next moment.
Mu Qing loved this No. 9 horse more and more in his heart, and slowly approached, he looked at it with a warm smile: "Don't be afraid, we just take a look, and we won't hurt you." As he spoke, Mu Qing looked back and asked the official, "What's the name of this horse?"
"Red horses that don't recognize their owners don't have names, they only recognize their owners' names. You can only get up once, you can't change it. The middle-aged official replied.
Shen Nisheng's eyes fell on the No. 10 white horse, and when she got closer, she realized that compared to the other horses, the No. 10 horse seemed to be a lot thinner, and she was a little shaky when she stood there.
Looking at this situation, it really can't be supported for a few days.
"Will this No. 10 horse also bid tomorrow?" Shen Nishang asked, turning her head.
"How can I still participate in the auction?" the middle-aged official smiled wryly and looked at the crowd around him, "It's all like this, where else can anyone want it?"
Although the surrounding crowd was regretful, they all nodded one after another.
Shen Nishang's eyes flashed: "Then can I buy it?"
The crowd around them were stunned when they heard this, and even the middle-aged official was in a daze, as if he thought he had misheard: "Miss means she wants to buy this No. 10 horse?"
Shen Nishang nodded: "Well, Horse No. 10." β
"But-" The middle-aged official looked at Ling Fei and still admonished: "In the past seven or eight days, the famous veterinarian and horse doctor in the royal capital have seen it...... If you really want to buy it, you can help Miss ask the meaning of the top, but even if this horse is like this now, if you want to buy it, the money will not be a small amount, Miss can think about it?"
She was a soft-hearted girl, and she felt pity for the two horses. Anyway, this horse is not going to work, so you can go and ask. Ling Fei said lazily, "However, don't open your mouth too much." β
The middle-aged official said yes with a smile and turned around to leave.
Mu Qing shouted to him: "Why don't you also go and ask if this No. 9 can be sold together now?"
The middle-aged official's footsteps paused, revealing some embarrassment. He knew in his heart that it was not a big problem for Shen Nishang to take away the No. 10 horse today, but it was a little difficult for the No. 9, but it was obvious that Mu Qing's appearance and bearing were not ordinary people, but he looked at it and was really angry, so he glanced at Ling Fei carefully.
"This is the young master of General Mu's family in Yunzhou, and this time he came to visit the Queen Mother and her old man. Ling Fei didn't know his intentions, so he said Mu Qing's identity slowly.
These lower-level officials are all exquisite, only to hear Ling Fei mention the word Queen Mother, and say that it is the Mu family in Yunzhou, and they immediately know the proportion.
The sister-in-law of the general and the eldest princess of Yunzhou, the only three-generation bloodline of the queen mother in the palace, this identity is not lower than the identity of the young master Ling of the Enhou Mansion.
"This lord still went to Haosheng and said that these two horses are in a special situation, and if only one is taken away, I am afraid it will be difficult to separate, and it is better to dispose of them together. Zhang Shaohan also spoke on the side.
There were also many people in the surrounding crowd who echoed it.
There are a lot of people who come to see the horses these days, but there are a few who have the ability to make a move, and most of the guests who want to buy have already come to see it in the first two days. At this time, most of the crowd are good civilians who came to see the excitement, and it is the first time in their lives to see such a humane livestock, which can be regarded as an eye-opener.
The middle-aged officials had a plan in their hearts, and they were full of answers, promising to speak for them.
When the middle-aged official left in a hurry, the surrounding crowd also dispersed, and continued to watch the horse, Ling Fei approached Shen Nisheng, lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "Can you cure this horse?"
In his opinion, Shen Nishang insisted on buying this red-blooded horse that he saw that he would not live long, and he must have the certainty of curing it.
Who knew that Shen Nisheng, who had been watching the No. 10 horse, shook his head: "No." β
The little fan who came up to listen was stunned when he heard this, and blurted out in disbelief: "Miss Shen, you can't do it?"
"I'm not a doctor, let alone a veterinarian, what can I do?" Shen Nishang said.
Ling Fei stared at her, obviously with some suspicion in his eyes, but Shen Nishang didn't realize that the old god was there, and his eyes only looked at the two horses that were nestled together on the fence.
Shen Nishang did have other plans.
After hearing about the situation of Horse No. 10, she had an idea in her heart, but there was no need to say it for the time being.
The middle-aged official replied quickly, and Shen Nishang looked at him, and suddenly felt a little bottom in his heart.
Sure enough, the middle-aged official first vaguely expressed his contribution, and then conveyed the final decision of the Imperial Horse Division: "...... Horse No. 9 is priced at 40,000 yuan, and horse No. 10 is priced at 10,000 yuan. If they agree, they can go through the formalities with the lowly office. β
The civilians who gathered around them talked a lot, and they all felt that the No. 10 horse still needed 10,000 taels of silver, which was really not cost-effective.
"In fact, these two red-blooded horses have just turned three years old, and they are the most spiritual of this batch of horses, and the endurance and explosiveness of No. 9 are excellent, and although No. 10 is a female foal, the endurance is the best among the ten. The middle-aged official said to them.
That being said, no matter how good a horse is, if it dies, it is worthless, and most of the people present still feel that it is not worth it.
Ling Fei looked at Shen Nisheng, Shen Nishang thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes." β
After that, she looked at Mu Qing again.
10,000 taels is just within her financial ability, but the No. 9 horse actually costs 40,000 silver, and I don't know if Mu Qing has such a lot of spare money.
Mu Qingqing nodded with a smile and said to her, "You wait here, I'll do it." β
Mu Qing knew that Shen Nishang did not have the habit of carrying silver tickets, and the ordinary silver money was in the hands of Yuchun, and it was inconvenient for them to go out today, and Shen Nishang did not bring the maid out.
After Mu Qing followed the official away, Shen Nishang asked Ling Fei with some curiosity: "Mu Qing has so much silver?"
Ling Fei nodded at her, and whispered with a smile on his lips, "He's the richest of us now." Not only did I get a big house today...... There were also 100,000 taels of silver tickets in the box. β
Shen Nishang was stunned for a moment, but in an instant, she understood, and asked with a smile: "Queen Mother?"
Ling Fei smiled and raised his eyebrows in acquiescence.
Mu Qing walked out with a smile and took the three chapter bills, and handed one of them to Shen Nisheng.
Shen Nishang took it and looked at the two sheets in his hand, and found that one of them was different from the other two: "Why are there three?"
"I made up my mind for Seven. Mu Qing smiled and said, "Let Kong Xiang bid tomorrow." If the tenth is fine, it would be the best, and the seventh would be used by Shaohan. β
Zhang Shaohan was stunned when he heard this, Mu Qingqing looked at him with a smile, raised his eyebrows, and his tone was extremely relaxed and casual: "Shaohan, you hurry up and worship the Bodhisattva so that the tenth of Nishang will be fine." β
What Mu Qing meant in this was that if Shen Nisheng's No. 10 horse was fine, he would give this No. 7 horse to Zhang Shaohan.
Although there is a premise, Mu Qing obviously did not say it casually, but really planned to do so.
Zhang Shaohan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled brightly, and deserved to be neat: "Okay, I'll say goodbye when I go back tonight." β
The Imperial Horse Division will send someone to deliver the horses, and now that the two horses are walking together, it won't be much of a problem.
The group went out of the Imperial Horse Division.
Walking to the side of the carriage, Shen Nishang whispered to Ling Fei, Ling Fei was stunned, and his face was surprised: "Do you plan to let Imperial Doctor Luo treat the horse?"
Shen Nishang only said that he would send someone to the palace gate to invite Luo Cai, but did not say what he was invited to do, but who Ling Fei was, he guessed Shen Nisheng's intentions as soon as his mind turned.
Even Ling Fei didn't take a doctor like Luo Cai seriously in his heart, but let the doctor from the hospital treat the horseβeven he couldn't do such a thing.
"You go and please. Shen Nishang smiled disappreliably, "I'll say something nice when I come." The doctor's parents are hearted, this horse's life is also life, maybe he will be willing. β
Ling Fei glared at her speechlessly, but still summoned the guards and ordered to go to the palace gate to block people.
When they returned to the courtyard, it was not long before the Imperial Horse Division sent the two horses over.
Seeing that Horse No. 10 was also with him, and when he faced the people again, Horse No. 9 was still wary, but as long as no one showed any intention of separating them, whether it was sent to the backyard or later placed in the stable, it was still soft.
First shaved a few front hooves, but Shen Nishang specially instructed his subordinates to treat them gently, and seeing that both the subordinates and the guards were extremely careful and thoughtful with the No. 10 horse, it slowly relaxed. (To be continued.) )
