Chapter 282: True and False
"What is it?"
Yu Jiayu stared at him seriously, refusing to let go of a flaw: "Is there anything that can be used in this seat?" ”
The corners of Wei Shaotang's mouth tugged slightly. He knows Yu Jiayu far more than the other party, and the more calm he is, the more suspicious the other party will be.
He was quick to think about what to do, and suddenly he heard the neighing of horses in the front yard, and he had an idea.
I saw him frowning, let out a long sigh, looked dazed but barely calm, and said, "Yes, the old man has a batch of goods carelessly...... Lost. ”
"Oh?"
The suspicion in Yu Jiayu's heart decreased slightly, but he was still cautious: "What's the matter, the tooth store is also going to sell goods?" ”
Wei Shaotang looked around left and right, lowered his voice with concern, and said: "It's a long story, Master Yu, no, if Lord Yu has time, then the old man will dare to bother......
With that, he waved his hand, arranged for the servants to prepare tea and clean up, and ordered the kneeling man to think about it on the spot before inviting Yu Jiayu into another small side hall.
……
The side hall environment is quiet.
In the cabinet, there are all kinds of precious and rare wood carvings, as well as white jade and paper-thin porcelain.
Tea is also a very expensive red robe.
Yu Jiayu gently swept away the tea foam with the lid of the cup, took a sip of tea, carefully pondered Wei Shaotang's words, and asked leisurely: "'Heaven-shaking Thunder' is a horse?" ”
"So to speak,"
Wei Shaotang put down the cup, but shook his head and corrected: "However, it should be more accurate to say that it is a kind of horse." ”
"Oh?"
"It's a new category...... Just like the Junmei red robe in your cup and mine, it is grafted and cultivated by two kinds of tea trees on Fujian Road for generations. ”
"And the 'Heaven-Shaking Thunder' too?"
Yu Jiayu raised his eyebrows, doubting the letter.
Wei Shaotang replied: "It is a new category cultivated by the Xixia Jishi Prefecture Horse Farm. ”
"I want to hear about it."
"This horse is crossed with the famous horse 'Black Lu' of Western Xia and the famous horse 'Shi Saqing' of the Great Food Country, and it must be 'Black Lu' as the father and 'Shi Saqing' as the mother. Black Lu's 'is known for his good running, and the 'Shi Saqing' of the Great Food Country is even faster......"
There are a lot of horses in the exclusive horse farm of the Imperial City Division, and Yu Jiayu knows a lot about horses, and he gradually listens to them.
Wei Shaotang continued: "These two horses were crossbred and gave birth to a foal with a strong posture, combining the advantages of both, and the Tangut people named it 'Victorious Lu', which means that it is superior to his father's 'Black Lu'. ”
"Master Wei, there is something I don't understand in the younger generation - what if it is the 'black Lu' of the mother and the 'Shi Saqing' of the father?"
Yu Jiayu humbly asked for advice.
"It's funny," Wei Shaotang calmed down, drank half a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and said: "'Black Lu' is good at running but fierce, and 'Shi Saqing' is fast but has poor endurance...... If you take 'Black Lu' as your mother and 'Shi Saqing' as your father, you will give birth to a foal...... On the contrary, it combines the shortcomings of the two, and the temperament is strong and the endurance is not good, and the horse breeder also gave it a name - 'Saihuhai', which means irritable and incompetent to race Qin II Huhai. ”
"Hahaha!"
Yu Jiayu felt that the names given by these Tangut people were really interesting, and he couldn't help laughing out loud, and asked again: "What is the matter with the 'Heaven-shaking Thunder'?" ”
"When a male and a female 'Victor Lou' mate, the foal is born with an additional advantage, and the speed is amazing, and it can run 280 miles in every hour."
"Two hundred and eighty miles!"
Yu Jiayu was taken aback, even the official family's imperial horse 'Shadowless Cone' only ran 200 miles per hour.
This is already the fastest horse in the whole Great Song.
Wei Shaotang nodded heavily: "This horse neighs extremely loudly, like thunder, so it is called 'Earthquake Thunder'." ”
Yu Jiayu subconsciously stroked the long beard under his chin, thinking about the authenticity of this matter, and after a while, asked, "Is there really such a divine horse in Western Xia?" ”
Wei Shaotang smiled indifferently, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Victorious Lou" is real.
"Saihuhai" is also true.
Even when a male and a female "Victorious Lu" are mated, the foals born can run 280 miles per hour, which is also true.
It's just that the peerless divine horse is not called "Heaven-shaking Thunder".
Lying is a profound science, and it is no easier than studying a subset of scriptures and history.
Among them, Wei Shaotang has a trick that is not passed on - "nine points true, one point false".
The details are tireless, and they are full of real gold, but in the most important places, they are fake, which can be far-fetched and nonsense.
With this trick, he hit every shot and never missed.
"The lines of the Imperial City Division are all over the Great Song Dynasty," Wei Shaotang grinned, his expression was both proud, but also sincere: "Regarding the affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, the old man is definitely not as clear as the adults." But the old man's Weng Weng is a person from Xiazhou, Shang Chengxing has been in business for several generations, and has regular customers in the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia and Liao, and the affairs of Western Xia, maybe the old man is more familiar than you. ”
This is true, Wei Shaotang's grandfather is indeed from Xiazhou.
Yu Jiayu was not annoyed by his words, but arched his hand at him, and the smile on his lips did not decrease.
Since he sat down and heard it now, he saw that Wei Shaotang said in great detail, and he did not hesitate or break at all, and he unconsciously believed seven or eight points in his heart, and said: "There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people." The younger generation has been taught by the dangerous master. ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Wei Shaotang smiled and waved his hand, full of an old man who was smug after selling off in front of his juniors: "Let's get back to the point, let's talk about this 'earth-shaking thunder'." ”
"The younger generation listens to you."
"Anyway, some time ago, the old man got a message from the Xixia Jishi Prefecture Horse Farm, saying that the 'earth-shaking thunder' thing, at the moment, the old man thought about getting one or two horses back, and it was not difficult to make ten or twenty times the money if he wanted to change hands."
Yu nodded in agreement. Such a divine horse, even if it is sold for a thousand horses, it is not worried.
"This 'Heaven-shaking Thunder' has not even been trusted by your Imperial City Division, but it is conceivable that it is a matter of great secrecy......"
Speaking of this, Wei Shaotang stopped talking and waved his hand to the two servants on the side.
The servants then neatly withdrew from the side hall.
Only Wei Shaotang and Yu Jiayu remained.
Wei Shaotang leaned in the ear of the pheasant, and said to him in a very low voice: "The old man has been running this business for decades, and not everything is on the bright side. ”
Yu Jiayu gave him a knowing look.
"Old man...... Zeng hired 36 strong men with strong martial arts skills as dart masters, and of course the 'Earthquake Thunder' was not bought, but ......"
When Wei Shaotang said this, he didn't say any more.
Yu Jiayu raised his eyebrows and smiled, knowing himself.
Not to buy, but what?
Or steal, or rob, or cheat......
Not justifiably anyway.
"Didn't succeed?" Yu Jiayu asked knowingly.
Wei Shaotang paused, shook his head heavily, and smiled bitterly.
His emotions at the moment are not disguised.
Those thirty-six martial arts masters, thirty-five of them really died, and they were indeed for the "earth-shaking thunder".
It's just that the "earth-shaking thunder" is not a horse.
