Chapter 57: Buying a Horse
"Shine on the night jade lion!" Wang Lun looked at the white horse in front of him and asked the horse dealer again.
"Exactly!" The horse dealer looked directly at Wang Lun and replied affirmatively. Then, he deliberately said helplessly: "The guest officer sells horses all the year round, and he travels south and north, and he buys it for good value, not because the capital is small now, otherwise I won't sell it." ”
Wang Lun was talking about the jade lion in the night, but he thought of someone in his heart. Looking at the red-haired and yellow-bearded man in front of him, Wang Lun compared it with the person he thought of in his heart.
"Nonsense!" Wang Lun hadn't spoken yet, but Liduo jumped out over there. "There is only one jade lion in the world, and it is in the hands of my fourth brother, how can you be this one?"
Wuzhu originally listened to the words of the horse dealer, and also said that it was his own jade lion that shone in the night. But on closer inspection, it is not. Although this white horse is also the best among horses, it is still a notch behind the king of horses.
However, he disdained to argue, and did not question the horse dealers, but he couldn't help it. "Didn't you steal my fourth brother's mount?"
When the horse dealer saw that Liduo said that the jade lion in the night was in the hands of his fourth brother, his eyes flashed with golden light, and he secretly said that it was not a fish that had been baited. At the moment, he was silent, hugged his fist at Liduo, and said politely: "Dare to ask what the two of you are called?" Why do you want to destroy your business? ”
"Humph! We are the Meng'an of the Wanyan Division. Seeing that the horse dealer still didn't admit that his horse was not genuine, he couldn't help but be angry, "Fourth brother, you tell him personally!" ”
At this time, Wang Lun also looked at Wuzhu, and said in his heart that the BMW in the Water Margin was the first to shine on the night jade lion, and the book only said that it was the mount of the prince of Dajin, and he didn't want to be Wuzhu's favorite horse.
At this time, Wuzhu saw that Liduo pushed him out, so he had to expose the lies of the horse dealer. "The jade lion of the night is produced in the Western Regions, and I personally purchased it last month, which is a fact."
"This horse is up and down, snow-white, without half a stray hair, it is indeed rare, but it is not a jade lion in the night." Saying that, afraid that the horse dealers would not believe him, Wuzhu pointed to the white horse and said: "The jade lion was born in the night, with long hair around his neck, like a male teacher, and his personality is violent. But when you grow up, you will be driven out of the herd, and your personality will become docile. In the dark, this horse waives a silver-white light, hence the name, but your horse is indeed a feature! ”
After Wuzhu finished speaking, he stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Wang Lun. The meaning is clear: if I hadn't been here, I'm afraid you would have been deceived!
When the horse dealer saw that the head of Wuzhu was the Tao, and knew that he was a Jurchen nobleman, he must have been this person in his heart. But he is also a thoughtful person, and his face is not obvious at all. After hearing the helpless words, he slapped his thigh and shouted, "Ah......hh I don't want to be deceived! Lost 2,000 kan! ”
"I want this horse!"
This horse is handsome, and the horse given by Chihiro is like. Wang Lun didn't care about anything else, and immediately opened his mouth to buy the horse. Even if this horse is not a jade lion in the night, it should be able to compete with it.
Wuzhu originally thought that she helped Wang Lun to prevent him from being fooled. Unexpectedly, Wang Lun still insisted on buying a horse, and the angry Wuzhu gasped and became thicker.
When Shan Shiqi saw that Wang Lun wanted to buy a horse, he jumped directly in front of the black horse and shouted at Wang Lun: "Brother, buy this horse and give it to me!" ”
"Good!" Wang Lun agreed, and said to the horse dealer: "I want all the money for your horses!" ”
Wang Lun's shout stopped the noisy discussion of the audience, and almost everyone's eyes turned from this divine horse to Wang Lun's side.
Wang Lun was born handsome, and his figure was still tall among the northerners, and the leader Liang Shan also came into contact with many big names of this era, so he naturally had the momentum of a superior. In the face of everyone's attention, he stood still.
"It's easy to say that the price is good, the horses are divided into three, six, nine, etc., and the price is high and low." Seeing that Wang Lun still wanted to buy a horse in his own hands, the horse dealer couldn't help but look at Wang Lun a few more times. "This official must know the goods, and I am not greedy, it is enough to have four thousand pieces of copper, you can take it away immediately!"
4,000 full copper!
Although everyone present knew that these horses were extraordinary, when the horse dealer actually quoted this price, it still frightened many people. It's not that this horse dealer is offering a price all over the sky, like this kind of dragon horse, if it is sent to Bianliang, I am afraid that this price will have to go up two more heels. It's just that right now in Huining, the price of 4,000 yuan of copper is unheard of, which is enough to be worth the accumulated wealth of ordinary rich families for several generations.
"Brother Ren, no matter how good the horse is, the price is not suitable and no one cares, if the price can fall again, you can also sell it and we will really buy it!" Yang Lin replied in a stitch on the side, wanting to save some money for Wang Lun.
As soon as he saw Yang Lin bargaining, the horse dealer shook his head and said: "I am Zhang Fei selling iron, and people are hard and goods are hard, so I don't sell them!" “
Lu Zhishen couldn't help but be critical when he heard the horse dealer's words: "You are a hard person, why don't you really shine on the night jade lion!" ”
was squeezed by Lu Zhishen, the horse dealer froze for a moment, and his eyes inadvertently swept over Wuzhu's body. Immediately, the horse dealer looked at Wang Lun and said, "The seller knows the master, the black, red and green horses cost 500 yuan each, and the white horse costs 2,500 yuan, don't bargain." ”
Since it is his favorite thing, Wang Lun is not a shy person in his pocket, and he is not frightened by the real price of 4,000 yuan offered by the other party. "Brother! I fell in love with these horses, and since I refused to lower the price, I will give you a lot, and I bought all four horses! Wang Lun looked at the horse dealer and made a final decision.
Seeing Wang Lun's promise, the horse dealer was overjoyed, thinking that this is still a master! The horse dealer clenched his fists and said, "Okay, the big official is refreshing!" ”
"The road is far away and it is inconvenient to carry copper coins, we bring all the silver, according to the price of the comparison to give you the silver, how?"
In the Great Song Dynasty, such a large amount of transactions, the buyer and seller often say the latest price of the banknote, after all, the copper coin has always been at least more than 800 Wen, and the weight is definitely not light. If it is thousands, it is almost equivalent to a small copper mountain, and I am afraid that I will have to find an ox cart to pull it before I can move it.
The banknotes issued by the Song Dynasty are just a method that was conceived to make up for the lack of national finance and taxation. It's a pity that there is no endorsement of the imperial court reserves, and the operating credit is congenitally insufficient. Even if the banknotes have just been issued, the surname of the merchant is counted as seventy percent of the real copper, and with the change of years, some of the early banknotes are even only two percent of their face value.
In the Northland, of course, the payment of money in the Great Song Dynasty was not recognized, so Wang Lun was talking about silver.
"Yes, you can." The horse dealer agreed, "According to the current price, it is ten taels of silver." ”
Just when the two sides were preparing to deliver the goods, the spectators on the inner and outer three floors of the original enclosure were in a commotion, and a group of spectators were thrown into a flutter and scattered to both sides, revealing a passage in the middle that was enough for four or five people to go in parallel.
When Wang Lun looked, he saw three people with horse whips: one was short and fat, with a long face and a pair of rat eyes, small ears like bamboo sticks, a small mouth, upturned lips, and eyes that kept squeezing; Another tall and slender man, with a large head and a thin neck, a pair of toad beaks, two leopard eyes, a few thin yellow eyebrows, and four front teeth out.
The one who was left behind was seven feet long, and his face was slightly red. At about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, he is the head of several people.
When Wuzhu saw this young man, her heart suddenly struck: Why is this person here!
The young man walked around a few horses for a while: "I want these two horses, but I have to pay for them in my village." “
The horse dealer looked at the young man in embarrassment and said, "These horses already have buyers!" ”
"It's okay!" The young man glanced at Wang Lun and the others, and said indifferently.
The toad who came with him saw that the horse seller refused, but he was angry, and said angrily: "Anyone who comes to this set to sell things, as long as my Zeng family wants it, who dares not to sell it?" Someone fancy that? “
The long ear on the side continued: "My eldest young master is happy to give you a few dollars for the things he has a fancy for, but if you are not happy, you can still bite the uncle's bird!" “
At this time, the horse seller was also angry, and shouted: "You drink urine and shabu your ass mouth, don't fart with one piece, it stinks." Hugh said that someone has already decided, you are rich, and grandpa will not sell it to you! “
