Chapter Seventy-Two: Baga
A meadow surrounded by a fence with hundreds of cattle in captivity, and seven or eight horses tied to it. Rong Yuanhang thought that this was the place to sell cattle and horses. When I went in with Cailong, I met a middle-aged man in sloppy clothes and asked, "Uncle, is there a horse seller here?" ”
The sloppy man shook his head blankly and ignored them. Rong Yuanhang was a little puzzled, and suddenly a lean man ran out of the grass hut, he walked to the front of Rong Yuanhang and asked, "Two strong men want to buy horses?" ”
For the convenience of activities, Rong Yuanhang and Cailong wore Hanfu short lining brown, which is the kind of jacket and pants, waist cloth belt, and a broken sword with a sheath inserted in the waist, but was mistaken by the other party for a person walking the rivers and lakes.
Rong Yuanhang frowned and looked at the few horses, they were not very satisfied, he nodded and said, "I want to buy a horse, but ...... These horses don't look good! ”
Although they don't know how to look at horses, they are not very pleasing in appearance, or they are skinny or dirty, and they look like old and weak soldiers.
The thin man couldn't help but be overjoyed, and bowed to him and said, "Two masters, you have found the right person, Zhang Xiong in the dismount." If you want to buy a horse, I can take you to see it now, except for the wildebeest, you have all kinds of horses you want! ”
It turned out that the man who called himself Zhang Xiong was also an agent in the market, Rong Yuanhang returned the salute and said: "My surname is Rong, and he is my entourage." However, this ...... If it's not a place to sell horses, is there another place to sell horses? ”
"Hehe, Rong Zhuangshi may be a visitor from a foreign country, and he doesn't know the situation in our Xianyang City." Zhang Xiong smiled and said: "This city is a lot of land, and the horse store occupies a large amount of land, so it is not cost-effective to rent here." Rong Zhuangshi, this is just a bull market, these bad horses are used for rough work rather than sale. The real good horses are in the area of Shepherd Mountain in the west of the city. It's still a few miles away. ”
"Oh, I see." Rong Yuanhang smiled and said, "Then bother Brother Zhang to take us to have a look?" ”
Zhang Xiong said: "Yes, but explain in advance, the rule of our horse teeth is that after the transaction between the two parties is closed, they have to ask for a commission of 60 out of 1. ”
"Okay, take me there, after the deed is done, if you can satisfy me, there will be another reward!"
Rong Yuanhang knew that to do business here, he had to pass the tooth discipline. The so-called art has a specialization, their role is indispensable, a dare to do horse teeth, are good at horses, as long as they can think about the employer, their knowledge can be used. The second is to play a mediating role between the buyer and the seller, and the third point is to a certain extent, play the role of a mediator, the world is not peaceful, there are also people who steal horses and sell them on the market, in case of encountering such people, there is a broker as a guarantor, and it can also avoid lawsuits.
Zhang Xiong was overjoyed to hear it, "Okay, I will definitely satisfy you!" ”
……
So Zhang Xiong took Rong Yuanhang, the master and servant, walked two or three kilometers to the west, and came to the upstream of the wharf outside the city, only to see that on an open col basin surrounded by low mountains, hundreds of horses of various colors were locked in a circle of fences, and the scene was quite spectacular.
Rong Yuanhang doesn't know how to be a horse, but the shape of the horse is not beautiful, and he can still feel it intuitively. Zhang Xiong took him to patrol the various stalls, and said: "This horse has no more than three uses, farming, transportation, and riding, Brother Rong should buy a horse for riding, right?" ”
"That's right," Rong Yuanhang nodded and said, "You help me pick two horses that are fast, have stamina, and have a good appearance, and then bargain and get a more affordable price." When it is done, I will reward you with ten taels of silver. ”
"Is that true?" Zhang Xiong's eyes widened suddenly. Most of the commissions he earned, and most of them have to be handed back to the tooth bank, in fact, the income that belongs to him is very small, and now listening to Rong Yuanhang's promise of ten taels of benefits, he can't help but feel like he has been beaten with chicken blood, and he is extremely excited.
"Okay, you're satisfied with the little bag!" Zhang Xiong changed his title again and again. There was money to be earned, even if he called his father, he walked a few steps, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Eh...... What did you just mean by 'pulling the wind'? ”
"Pull the wind?" Rong Yuanhang smiled dumbly and said, "It's the kind that looks extraordinary." ”
"Oh, understood. Rong Shaoxia is really special when he speaks. ”
Watching Zhang Xiong and the horse dealer arguing with each other there, Rong Yuanhang couldn't help but feel amused. They bargained with each other not by words, but with their hands, and the familiar action really made people wonder if they were guessing whether they were fighting wine?
Finally, two horses were picked, one black and the other brown. The average price of each horse was eighty-seven taels of silver, and the two horses plus Zhang Xiong's commission were a total of one hundred and seventy taels of silver.
When Rong Yuanhang took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels, he stumped the horse dealer again - there was no money to find a ransom! had no choice but to ask Cailong to accompany the people to the money village in the market outside the city to exchange the loose silver.
This silver ticket was obtained from Jiang Yanyun's hand, and the ticket was written on it as 'Sihai Qianzhuang', and it was necessary to find a shop with a signboard of Sihai Qianzhuang to redeem it, which took a lot of time.
After everything is done, Rong Yuanhang and Cailong each ride a horse, originally Rong Yuanhang would not be able to ride a horse, but the scene was taught by the horse dealer to control the horse, and he also learned a little bit, plus his strength, so it is not very difficult to return to Pipa Village, as long as you ride a little slower, there is no problem.
……
"The young master is back!"
Rong Yuanhang and Cailong rode horses to Pipa Village, and from a distance, they saw the little monkey Juan at the gate jumping and screaming excitedly-Then, the bodyguards Gao Shenwei, Tian Jun, Huang Guoyi, Bao Dazun, and the two female bodyguards Yu Bing and Yu Xue. There are also ten people including Xu Lan, Yan Dahua, and Zhu Shuisheng, who ran out in a swarm!
Seeing these familiar faces, Rong Yuanhang couldn't help laughing happily. Juan ran to the front and said, "Young master, give me the saddle, and the little one will lead the horse for you." ”
"Little monkey, how are you at home during my absence?" Rong Yuanhang asked with a smile.
Juan said with a slight complaint: "It's okay, but young master, where have you been in the past month?" That day, I was in a hurry to die with Uncle Gao, and I couldn't find your person, I said that you must have gone to Jianghai Pawnshop, but Uncle Gao didn't let you find it. I just waited for you nearby for a few days, and in the end I really couldn't see you, young master, so we had to go back. ”
"Well, well done!" Rong Yuanhang couldn't help but glance at Gao Shenwei in the distance with appreciation, thinking that he was really an old man. At that time, he was chased and killed by Jiang Yanyun and fled to the modern world, if Gao Shen acted recklessly afterwards and went to the Jianghai pawnshop to inquire about his whereabouts, he would definitely show his feet and be traced by Jiang Yanyun to find out his true identity. Fortunately, Gao Shenwei did not do this. This also shows that he is very cautious in doing things for people, no wonder he is called 'cautious'.
"Childe!"
"Young Master!"
"The owner!"
The people who stood at the gate to greet him were called by all sorts of names.
As soon as Rong Yuanhang approached the door, he looked up at the plaque on the gate, and there were two golden characters - Rong Mansion. I was very satisfied, and I suddenly felt a little bit like being a big landlord.
He glanced at everyone and said, "Let's go into the house and talk." After giving the horse to Juan, he and Cailong entered the mansion surrounded by everyone.
Rong Yuanhang first said a few words of encouragement to all the servants, and gave them a preventive vaccination, explaining that he may appear from time to time or disappear for no reason in the future, anyway, it means that everyone does not need to be surprised or panicked about this matter. At the same time, the colorful dragon was ceremoniously introduced.
In the end, Rong Yuanhang looked at Xu Lan's shy and excited appearance, and asked her: "Xu Lan, I am not here during this time, what is the matter at home?" Are there any difficulties? By the way, what about the workers? ”
Xu Lan lowered her head and hurriedly replied: "If you go back to Gongzi, there is nothing special in the family recently, that is, Jin Laoqi has come over many times, saying that he wants to find Gongzi, but his attitude is not very good, and he also said that Gongzi, you have lost your trust in him." Later, the High Nursing Institute blew him away, and he didn't come back for a few days. …… Also, now the repair in the courtyard has basically been completed, but there are still some materials waiting for the silver to buy, and the fifty taels of silver you gave to the little maid, in addition to leaving eight taels of food expenses, basically used up the materials. ”
"Oh, I didn't think it through." Rong Yuanhang took out two silver tickets of five hundred taels from the bag in his arms and handed them to her, saying: "You can take these thousand taels of silver tickets, you can buy anything that is lacking at home, and you can ask me for it when you run out." ”
"Ahh When Xu Lan saw that it was a silver ticket of 1,000 taels, she couldn't help but exclaim, and a pair of small hands waved wildly: "Childe, no, there is too much money." The little maid is afraid that she will lose it, and it will not be a pity for the little maid to die at that time. ”
Rong Yuanhang pretended to be displeased and said: "What are you doing, a thousand taels is too much?" Take it, you can use it in the future, if you are afraid that others will rob it, don't you just go to the street and bring it to the nursing home? ”
Then he said: "Also, the work that has not been completed due to the lack of materials and materials, notify the workers to come over and finish the work as soon as possible." There are so many people in the family, what you can't do, you can do by arranging them. ”
"Childe," Gao Shenwei suddenly spoke.
"Well, what's the matter with the high guard?" Rong Yuanhang asked.
Gao Shenwei coughed dryly and said, "That's the case, a few days ago, the eldest young master Jiang Keqin and the county lord of Baojia once came. ”
"Oh?" Rong Yuanhang looked at Xu Lan and thought to himself, why didn't she tell me such an important thing? Xu Lan was glanced at by him, and couldn't help but turn red, and hurriedly argued: "Childe, this matter ...... The little maid doesn't know. Gao Guard, why don't you tell your little sister? ”
"This ...... cough, "Gao Shenwei's old face turned red, it was not that he didn't tell Xu Lan, but that he didn't treat Xu Lan as a person in charge of the family at all, which also blamed Rong Yuanhang for not explaining clearly, causing some confusion.
"Lord Baojia, what are they coming to me for?" Rong Yuanhang is very strange, he doesn't have anything to do with that little girl, right? It's just that he bumped into it once on the street, unless Jiang Keqin came to look for it, but it was impossible for him to command a county lord.
"I don't know if it's small." Gao Shenwei shook his head and said, "She came over and heard that you weren't there, and then left without saying anything." ”
"Oh yes, forget it, leave her alone." Anyway, there is a big master of Cailong, and Rong Yuanhang is not very worried about Jiang Keqin coming to find him.
Suddenly, Yan Dahua, the little servant, came from the outer courtyard, came to the front of Rong Yuanhang, and saluted: "Young master, someone is looking for you outside." ”
"Who is it?" Rong Yuanhang asked.
"It's me! Brother Rong, you're back! Suddenly, a beautiful figure broke in directly. Rong Yuanhang's eyes lit up, and the person who came was actually Zhou Peipei.
She smiled and said, "Brother Rong, there is a noble man who sent his little sister over to fight the vanguard. ”
"Who?" Rong Yuanhang guessed in his heart: It won't be the little girl Baojia County Lord, right?
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, a man and a woman walked into the Hanging Flower Gate, the woman's twenty-eight years, she was beautiful and beautiful, and she was the lord of Baojia County! And the man who followed her was Jiang Keqin, who had a holiday with Rong Yuanhang!
"Rong Xianggong, the little woman has taken the liberty to visit!" Qianrou smiled and groaned.
