骕骦 (sù shuāng), the ancient good horse.

"The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" contains: "Tang Hou has two famous horses, called "Su Shuang". "Su Shuang" is the name of the goose, its feathers are as white as practice, high head and long neck, the shape of the horse is similar, so it is named. Later generations added horses and said that they were horses, and they were the horses that the world wanted. ”

The high head has a long neck, the color is like frost, and the square is a horse.

And the one with a high head, a long neck, slender limbs, and thin skin and fine hairs is a Dawan horse. Gongsun Zhan's white dragon is clearly a Wuhuan horse. It is similar to the blood of the Xiongnu horse. It is characterized by a large head and a wide forehead, a deep and long chest, strong legs and strong hooves, and a long and dense mane. Good stamina and strong weight-bearing. It is the best choice for iron riding.

So, this foal shouldn't be a horse.

However, how could the ancient good horse line up to be born in his own trough? Mother quoted scriptures, and Liu Bei was not easy to say. He scratched his head and said according to her wishes: "Xu is Baiyi." ”

Bai Yi, also known as Bai Xi, is one of the eight horses of King Mu of Zhou. Blood-related closer to the Hun horse.

"Pure color is sacrificial. The white sacrificer is pure white. Mother nodded happily.

Yellow hussay, white in color. Gongsun Zhan's white horse is also like snow. It is normal for a foal to be born with a snow-white body. It doesn't hurt to take the name Bai Xi. As for whether it is or not, what does it matter. As long as the mother is happy.

Seeing that the pony had eaten colostrum, the third uncle told him that after the foal was full moon, remember to feed it in separate troughs with the mare.

Liu Bei secretly wrote it down.

When the foal finished feeding, the third uncle took the bran and bean cake and crushed it, moistened it with water and mixed it into concentrate and fed it to the mare.

The mare is weak after giving birth, and the feed must be fine.

And build a separate trough for the foal.

After a busy night, I invited the third uncle back. Only then did Liu Bei help his mother return to the back hall to sleep.

Liu Bei was young for a long time. Although he slept separately from his mother, he was in the same room. Liu Bei was excited and had no intention of sleeping. So he talked to his mother about building a dock fort.

The mother did not object, and told him an allusion.

Mother said that in the past, there was a man named Fan Hong in Nanyang. His father, Fan Chong, is good at farming and good breeding. Heavy and gentle, there is a law, three generations of common wealth, children and grandchildren salute day and night, often like a public family. Its management industry, nothing to abandon, service children, each has its own suitability, so it can work hard up and down, financial benefits are times the year, to open up more than 300 hectares of land. The houses where it rises are all heavy halls and high pavilions, and the canals are irrigated. and pond fish and livestock, and if there is a request, it will be given.

Fan Zhong is good at management, manages the manor in an orderly manner, and all the houses are heavy and high, a prosperous scene.

Liu Bei wants to learn from Fan Chong, so that the Liu family of Zhuo County also has 'heavy halls and high pavilions, and Piqu irrigation'.

Mother used the things of her predecessors to warn Liu Bei that her family and clan should be taken into account.

Thinking of the low thatched huts in the village, Liu Bei secretly made up his mind that Lousang Village must be built well.

Su Shuang in the city is good at horses.

Liu Bei was going to go to the city and asked him about taking care of the foals.

Early the next morning, he took out the green horse and rushed to the county seat.

In the distance, I saw the neighing of people and horses, and the flags covered the sun. The mare is pregnant for one year before giving birth. Not like it was last year!

"Liu Bei! Liu Bei! The one in the crowd who shouted Liu Bei was Su Shuang.

Without waiting for the horse to step forward, Su Shuangzao grabbed the reins. Although the green horse did not know, he did not dodge. Let him hold on tightly.

Su Shuang, like Liu Bei, jumped a lot higher.

"Why did it take you so long?" Su Shuang raised his head and asked.

"It's a long story." Liu Bei got off the horse and told him what had happened for more than a year.

"No wonder." Only then did Su Shuang know that so many things had happened to Liu Bei.

"Is Gongsun Chan here?" Liu Bei was riding a stallion today, and he was afraid that he would do anything.

"Mr. Chan is naturally here." Su Shuang pointed at the green horse and smiled: "This year's money is not easy to make." ”

Liu Bei smiled: "This time I came to breed with him!" ”

"Who's going to breed with me?" The voice came from the ear, startling Liu Bei.

Without waiting to turn around, one arm came up: "Brother Liu Beixian, did your mare ever give birth to my son?" ”

"I was born last night." Liu Bei thought wrongly: "It's my foal." ”

"Haha......" Gongsun Chan smiled: "You and my brother, isn't your family my family?" ”

"Is your home my home?" Liu Bei asked rhetorically.

"Haha! You have to ask the family Weng Fangzhi! Gongsun Chan spread his hand, "Which day, will I introduce you?" ”

"Forget it." Liu Bei was about to speak, but saw Gongsun Zhan's expression condensed: "This horse, has a disease in his eyes?" ”

"Sand Ichimoku." Liu Bei pointed to the left eye of the green horse.

"It's a pity." Gongsun Chan shook his head and sighed. Looks like he wanted to hit the horse's idea. When he saw that his eyes were sick, he dispelled this thought.

"Riding on weekdays is also quite stable." Liu Bei said with a smile.

"That's nature. But it is useless. "The great use in Gongsun Zhan's mouth obviously refers to the battlefield.

"How much does this horse cost?" The sound sounds familiar.

Liu Bei followed the sound and saw that it was not that Hu Shang!

"Not for sale." Liu Bei smiled and saluted.

"Even though you are blind, you can breed." Hu Shang said: "What is born must be a good horse." If you have free time, you might as well come to my account. ”

"Okay." Liu Bei nodded. Liu Bei was also very curious about the identity of this Hu Shang. The shot is twenty gold, and I know that I have to buy it again if I am deceived. I don't know what I want to do today.

Bidding farewell to Gongsun Zan and Su Shuang, Liu Bei led the horse to the Hushang camp.

After the report, a beautiful orchid led Liu Bei into the tent.

Hu Shangpan sat on the carpet, stretched out his hand to Liu Bei and smiled: "Sit." ”

"Thank you." Liu Bei also followed his example and sat down.

"I heard you've made another strange thing?" Hu Shang has quite ears and eyes.

"Yes, yes." What has been made public, Liu Bei has no need to hide it.

"The last time you bought cowhide, you made it for this?"

"That's right."

"Can you buy one for me?" Hu Shang still wants to do business.

"Yes." Liu Bei said with a smile: "This mat is divided into upper, middle and lower grades, the top grade is 10,000 yuan, the middle grade is 3,000 yuan, and the lower grade is 1,000 yuan." How many do you want? ”

"Superb." Hu Shang smiled: "I need to make one according to my heart." ”

Liu Bei's heart moved: "You come here." ”

Hu Shang smiled: "Without it, the cushion needs to be made of sable skin." ”

"I can't do it." Where did Liu Bei find him a sable.

"The distinguished guest is still black, and he knows a lot about fur. If it's not a sable, how can it be called the best? Hu Shang said. Sure enough, there is a big financier behind him. Presumably, those two boxes of jelly were also bought by the financier behind them. And live in a bitter cold place, otherwise there is no need to cover the mat with fur to keep warm.

Liu Bei suddenly thought of his own golden-galled black bear skin: "Is it okay to bear skin?" ”

"Let's talk about it." Hu Shang really moved.

Liu Bei explained the situation of the third uncle on the day of the bear hunt.

After listening to Liu Bei's description, Hu Shang nodded happily: "The golden gall black bear is also!" ”

"How much would you like to bid?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"Is it okay for twenty gold?"

Liu Bei shook his head resolutely: "The golden gall giant bear, the hair is uninjured, it is rare in the world." It's not easy to be a hundred gold. "Less than a hundred gold cakes, no trade.

"If it's as you say, it's a hundred gold, so what's the matter?" Hu Shang is really bold.

"Then it's decided?" Come to the horse market and earn 100 gold. The money for the construction of the manor dock fort is there.

Really, God help me.
