0010 Buy a horse
When the fat horse dealer heard this, his face was full of laughter, and he said, "I don't know what kind of horse the prince likes?" It's better for Childe to move to the city and take a look. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat horse dealer gently twitched his mouth again, and said, "It's a small gaffe!" The mule and horse market is very dirty, how can the son get his feet! I'll take the horse out and take a look. I just recently bought two good horses, both of which are horses that travel 1,000 a day and 800 at night! Childe must like it! With that, he turned around and left.
Liu Pei immediately said, "Wait a minute." ”
The fat horse dealer immediately turned around and bowed down and said, "I don't know what the prince commands?" ”
Liu Pei deliberately tilted his head sideways and said, "This, the horse I want, it must be a good horse!" It must be magnificent! But, well, this son, well, time is limited, and there is no time to train horses, so don't give me a horse that is too strong, understand? ”
Liu Pei's performance really deceived the fat horse dealer! In the eyes of the fat horse dealer, Liu Pei is a sour son who is from a big family, does not know the sufferings of the world, can only study, and wants to save face! These merchants like this kind of boy brother the most, like their usual style, they only need to save face, not the inside! Such people are the easiest to cheat out of their hands!
The fat horse dealer was overjoyed when he heard Liu Pei's words! said again and again: "Don't worry, I still have a high-quality jujube red horse in my hand!" Well, it's the roots of the descendants, absolutely docile! I'll bring it to my son to see. ”
Seeing Liu Pei nodding in agreement, the fat horse dealer turned around and left quickly. In the blink of an eye, he led a red horse out. Liu Pei doesn't understand horses, so naturally he doesn't know what this horse is. He was bold enough to lean forward and touch the horse's head. The horse was indeed docile, and when he saw Liu Pei reaching out and touching it, not only did he not hide, but he also rubbed it in his palm.
The fat horse dealer was even happier when he saw it, and said, "The prince is really a nobleman!" This horse is indeed docile on weekdays, but I don't see it so good to others! But now, when this horse sees his son, he immediately falls in love at first sight! ”
Liu Pei continued to touch the horse's head and said with a smile: "You are indeed unlearned, and you are used here when you fall in love at first sight!" ”
The horse dealer was even happier when he saw Liu Pei smiling, and said with a smile: "It's small, isn't it!" It's small, it's not! Where do the little ones know what knowledge, but they just use it when they hear what they say! ”
In fact, this person may not know the usage of falling in love at first sight, but it is just a gag here, so as to please the buyer and take the opportunity to ask for a high price.
Liu Pei touched the horse's head and said casually: "Say, how much?" ”
The fat horse dealer did not hesitate to open his mouth and said: "This horse is related to the son, the small one is half sold and half given, and the son will give the small one 40 taels of silver!" ”
In fact, the Ming Dynasty was not very short of horses. Generally, horses that can be used as military horses are only thirty or forty taels of silver. This kind of ordinary gelding is only twenty taels of silver! Liu Pei didn't know what the price of horses in the Ming Dynasty was, but he knew that there must be a lot of vain! I'm afraid that the horse dealer will slaughter himself as a wronged man.
But for the sake of safety, he was afraid of being questioned about his origins, so the role he chose was a wronged character. So he groaned for a while and said, "I'm afraid the price you quoted is quite a lot." But forget it, who called this son is in a hurry. I bought this horse! But you have to prepare the saddle and saddle bag for me. ”
The fat horse dealer smiled in his heart! There are more than twice the profits in a single transaction, how can you care about the point! The fat horse dealer bowed again and again and said, "Don't worry, Son! It's ready for you in no time! After speaking, he pulled Zhang De and ran towards the mule and horse market. In the blink of an eye, the saddle and felt blanket were moved. A whole bunch of stuff like a saddlebag. The fat horse dealer put everything in place with three and two handfuls of hands and feet. Then he pinched the reins in his hand and looked at Liu Pei with a blank eye.
Liu Peihaha laughed: "You are careful!" Are you still afraid that my son will not be able to rely on your account? ”
The fat horse dealer said, "How come! How could it be! But the reins in his hand did not loosen.
Liu Pei walked to the ox cart, took out a cloth bag from the baggage, took out four gold leaves from it and handed it to the fat horse dealer. The fat horse dealer took the gold leaf, and with a little force in his hand, the gold leaf bent. Wipe it with your hand again, and it will return to its original state. If you look closely, my gold leaves are extremely exquisite, with clear veins and coordinated textures, as if they had just been plucked from the tree! What's even more rare is that there is no difference at all between the appearance of the four gold leaves! In fact, this gold leaf was also ordered by Liu Pei online. Each piece weighs one or two dollars.
Liu Pei looked at the fat horse dealer with a smile and said, "Are these enough?" ”
The fat horse dealer hurriedly said, "Enough! That's enough! I'm afraid there will be a one-two-two head! Although he said that he was looking for his head, his feet were motionless, obviously he didn't plan to look for it!
Liu Pei naturally didn't let him down, so he said, "I'll reward you for the rest." But Zhang De brought me here, don't forget to give him a little profit! ”
The fat horse dealer smiled and said again and again: "Definitely! Certain! Immediately handed over the reins to Liu Pei, and helped Liu Pei hang the burden on the saddle.
Liu Pei asked, "How far is it from here to Jinan City?" ”
The fat horse dealer pointed to the grove in front of him and said, "It's not far away." Turn the grove in front of you and go up the road, and you will see the city wall. The end of the road is the city gate! ”
After listening to the instructions, Liu Pei left the two of them and led the horse around the grove next to the mule and horse market. Not far in front of the road, Liu Pei also saw the towering city wall of Jinan City. The cyan walls look very thick in the sunlight. It's a pity that there is no wind, and all kinds of flags are wilting.
Liu Pei had never seen such an ancient city wall, but he was shocked a lot! I don't know how much blood has been spilled on the green bricks of this wall. How many crossbow arrow marks are engraved!
Liu Pei sighed for a moment, and took advantage of the fact that no one moved a lot of things in the baggage into the saddlebag. Then carefully climb onto the horse's back. Fortunately, the jujube red horse was very docile, and stood there honestly waiting for Liu Pei to climb up.
After Liu Pei sat down, he followed the example of a person riding a horse on TV, gently pinched the horse's belly, and shouted "drive" in his mouth. And the horse walked forward slowly. After walking for a while, Liu Pei wiped the sweat on his forehead with peace of mind. Fortunately, this horse is docile and didn't run away, otherwise I really don't know what to do!
From the grove to the city wall, it is only more than a mile away. Liu Pei rode on the road. At this time, it was close to noon, and the main road was full of people and very lively. Everyone looked at Liu Pei dressed in a fancy costume and riding a high-headed horse, and they all made way for him.
