Chen Jiacheng drove a carriage and took Pei Yao to the livestock market in the north of the city, where horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and other animals that could be raised domestically.

After parking the carriage, he asked the man who watched the carriage at the entrance of the market to take care of it, and threw a tip of 10 copper plates to him before holding hands and walking into the livestock market, which was all fenced off by wooden fences.

As soon as I approached the market, I was greeted by the smell of animals, although the weather was not hot in early spring, and the smell was much smaller, but the air outside was good, and the air was particularly unbearable when suddenly exposed to here.

Pei Yao took out a handkerchief from her cuff and wrapped it around her nose to cover it slightly, making it a little difficult to breathe, but it was better than nothing.

She was also impressed when she saw Chen Jiacheng as if she hadn't smelled anything, not to mention the livestock market with poor facilities in ancient times, and even the smell of the modern poultry street selling chickens and ducks was terrible, and then looked at the fence sheds on both sides of the stone road, full of all kinds of livestock, the more you went inside, the bigger the smell, Pei Yao wanted to cry when she was smoked!

Chen Jiacheng looked at Pei Yao's wrinkled face, and said apologetically: "Xiao Pei Yao, I forgot that the smell here is too big, and I just wanted to take you for a walk." Because it is just spring, the traders from the surrounding villages and towns will gather here to buy goods and sell them in the countryside, so the market in early spring is particularly full of livestock, and after this period or autumn and winter, it will be much deserted. ”

She nodded and walked forward quickly, but she wrinkled her nose and didn't say anything, she didn't want to speak, she couldn't practice the immortal exercises and become internal breathing! I just passed by the sheepfold, and the dung balls in the sheepfold were thick and the smell was extraordinarily strong!

Suddenly, I found that almost all the men in the market were men, and the only few women were picking chickens, ducks, geese, and the like at the door, and there were no strangers like her who went inside.

is so hard, she also rejected Chen Jiacheng's suggestion to let her wait in the carriage outside, and insisted on picking her future car, which must be pleasing to the eye and docile, not too tall, and beautiful

Endurance all kinds of things along the way.

At the end of the barn are large animals, and the cattle pen is tied to all kinds of tall horses and foals in the stable, white, flower, brown and other colors, Pei Yao is dizzying, and even all kinds of peculiar smells can't be taken care of.

Seeing that the horses had their heads tied to the posts by the manger and looked safe, they went closer to find the beautiful ones.

However, the more Pei Yao watched, the more disappointed she became, these horses were not as shiny as the horses on TV, but many of them were a little sluggish or dull in color, and very few were full of energy.

Chen Jiacheng saw her disappointed look, and whispered close to her and said: "These are ordinary horses, which are also raised by many retail households, mainly used to pull carts or small traders to pull goods, and the price is about the same as that of cattle. However, it depends on luck, sometimes this kind of horse will be a little unknown when it is bought, and it will become more and more sluggish, and the veterinarian will die if it cannot be cured. Some have returned to normal because they are well raised, just like betting on horses. ”

Sluggish, I can't see anything wrong, my fur is dull, as if something crossed Pei Yao's mind, but I didn't remember what it was for a while, shook my head and continued to look down.

Chen Jiacheng walked into the last horse farm by the hand, and a few guys didn't greet them when they came in, so they let them watch at will.

"The selection of horses, unless it is requested by the guest, otherwise the guy will not be introduced, the quality of the selection depends on the customer's own vision, and the store is not to blame. However, I am used to seeing the war horses in the army, and these ordinary horses are really a little unsightly. Chen Jiacheng gave her a simple explanation of the reason why the guy did not greet guests, and the last sentence seemed to be talking to himself.

I feel that this horse farm is relatively clean, and the air is much fresher, at least much stronger than what I smelled before, or it may be that I have adapted, Pei Yao took off the handkerchief, she was really a little hypoxic, and she couldn't do it if she didn't take off the handkerchief!

Then his eyes flashed and he said: "This is the one where you bought the carriage, is it said that it is the horse farm of Zhuangzi, which is a good horse breeder?" ”

Seeing him nodding, Pei Yao pointed in and saw three arrogant horses in a conspicuous place outside and asked him, "This kind of horse looks good, don't you like it?" ”

Chen Jiacheng pouted and shook his head and said: "These three horses are the ones with the color and hair, and the other two horses are just like goods, and the endurance is not good. However, although there are two horses that are slightly worse in this comparison, they are also considered to be in the upper middle grade, and they are the signature of this store, and they can be bought for almost a hundred taels of silver. Like the kind of good horses that the generals ride in the army, they travel thousands of miles a day, but they are hard to find. ”

Pei Yao nodded understandingly, turned her head and saw a guy accompanied by two middle-aged men in ordinary clothes, led a horse out to walk and look, seeing that the horse was a little in good spirits, and her legs were a little trembling, knowing that these two people wanted to bet on horses, she was a little curious to watch them bargain, because the appearance of the horses was too poor, they were sold for 20 taels, and they saw that the two of them took out even the scattered silver from their arms and finally managed to make up enough 20 taels, and led the horses away with hope, she was worried about them, If they can't make a living, these two people will have to sell horse meat to return to their capital?

Chen Jiacheng took her hand to make her come back to her senses, and saw him pointing to the row of stables behind her and said, "That row is mares, slightly shorter, and usually more docile, you go there and pick and choose." ”

Seeing the smaller mare in the stable, Pei Yao was a little worried: "Brother Jiacheng, these horses don't look big, can they hold me, don't run too far for me to fall." ”

Before Chen Jiacheng could answer, he heard the laughter of "pounce, hahaha" behind him, and the two of them looked back and saw that it was a tall and strong curly-haired man, and his rough face looked like a hearty person, and the man laughed enough before talking to the two of them: "I am the owner of this racecourse, and I accidentally laughed when I saw that this girl was talking interestingly, don't be surprised." ”

Chen Jiacheng said: "It's okay, I just brought my wife who has not passed through the door to see the world!" ”

He now put an end to all the possibility of men peeping at his little Peiyao, and he can't wait to put a seal of personal belongings on her head.

Seeing his defensive eyes, the owner looked about thirty years old, and he didn't understand what he was thinking, so he laughed and said, "This mare looks slender, and his strength is worse than that of a stallion, but even if he brings a strong man like me, it's no problem at all." Okay, I won't bother you, pick slowly, I'll give you a bargain if you pick a good one, even if you congratulate you in advance on your 100 years of good cooperation! ”

Seeing that he finished speaking, he retreated to the chair on the side and sat down, Chen Jiacheng nodded at him gratefully and thanked him, and pulled Pei Yao to continue to watch the horse.

In a row of mares, at first glance, the light brown coat, but the white sideburns are the most beautiful, taller and stronger than other mares, long eyelashes, and the horse's face is also round and very pleasing to the eye.

Pei Yao's eyes lit up, and her courage suddenly became bigger!

He took a handful of grass from the manger and fed it to the mare, but when he saw the mare rubbing the back of her hand with his nose, he slowly fell down

Pei Yao was in a hurry, squatted on the ground and looked into the gap under the horse trough, and saw that the mare's front hooves were a little swollen, and her beautiful eyes were blinking as if they were about to shed tears, so the human expression made Pei Yao's heart move!

This seemingly somewhat familiar scene finally reminded her of something deep in her memory! ――
