Of course, Liu Bei didn't meet Cao Shuo by chance.

got the news that Cao Shuo had returned to Xudu, and he was inquiring about his whereabouts.

Knowing that Cao Shuo was coming to the west of the city, Liu Bei hurriedly beckoned Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to follow.

Five hundred war horses, so that he owes a foreign debt with two hips.

If he doesn't ask for this money again, he will really be so poor that he will drink the wind.

"Childe's expedition this time, did it go well?" Liu Bei asked.

"It's fine!" Cao Shuo said: "There were some small changes during this period, but it did not affect the battle situation, Qi County has been broken, and it will not be long before my father will be a teacher." ”

"That's good!" Liu Bei smiled and asked, "How about the war horse?" ”

When he mentioned the war horse, Cao Shuo said: "The war horse bought by the Xuande Gong Gang is really good, and this time it can be regarded as a great achievement." ”

"That's right!" Cao Shuo patted his head: "I suddenly remembered that the money for the war horse has not been given to Xuande Gong." ”

Cao Shuo took the initiative to mention the horse money he owed, and Liu Bei was relieved a lot: "Don't worry, don't worry, if the son doesn't have enough money, it's okay to give less." If only I could get rid of the creditor. ”

"In order to help me buy a horse, Xuande Gong actually owes foreign debts." Cao Shuo said with a guilty face: "It's all my fault!" ”

"Childe doesn't have to take it to heart." Liu Bei said: "It's all that should be done." ”

"By the way, how much is it in total?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Ten dollars for a horse." Liu Bei said: "A total of five thousand hangs. ”

"Not much." Cao Shuo said: "But my money is all in Zhongda, and he is still leading troops to follow his father, and he has to wait for him to come back before he can give it to Xuande Gong." ”

"It's good that Childe remembers this!" Liu Bei said: "I'm not afraid that the son won't give it." ”

"That's it!" Cao Shuo patted his chest and said, "Who am I?" The second son of the Cao family, can he still do that kind of scoundrel in the market? ”

Cao Shuo never denied that he owed him money, and this time he said that he would definitely pay it back, and Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Wang Yan was choosing silk, Liu Bei asked, "Son, is this choosing clothes for his wife?" ”

"That's right!" Cao Shuo said: "Since I took them into the house, I haven't bought anything yet, so I came out today to choose some clothes for a few ladies and make two clothes that fit." ”

"Did you choose well?" Cao Shuo asked Wang Yan.

"Ten horses of each of the four." Wang Yan pointed to the clothes she chose and said.

"Eighty hangings in total!" The shopkeeper said as Cao Shuo commanded.

"What?" Cao Shuo pretended to be stunned: "What kind of material is so expensive?" ”

"Childe, it's all the best Jiangdong silk." The shopkeeper said: "Two hangings per horse, it's really not expensive." ”

"!" Cao Shuo said fiercely: "You bullied me for not being to Jiangdong or what?" Give a real price. ”

"One and a half for each horse!" The shopkeeper said with a bitter face: "This is really back to the capital!" ”

"One and a half?" Cao Shuo sneered: "I'm afraid you are making a lot of brains." ”

"I'm not going to talk to you." Cao Shuo continued: "One horse and one penny, you see if you can sell it!" If we can't sell it, we'll change it. ”

"Childe wants to buy it, how dare I not sell it." The shopkeeper said, "I'll wrap it up for my son." ”

"Pay!" Cao Shuo instructed the guards.

The guard said with a bitter face: "Childe, we only brought a bunch of money when we went out......"

Cao Shuo pretended to be stunned and asked the shopkeeper: "Can you owe it first, and I'll have someone send it when I get back." ”

"Small business, forty dollars is really fatal!" The shopkeeper said bitterly: "Or the son will come and get ...... later."

"How can Ben Gongzi go and return for money?" Cao Shuo glared and said, "Are you looking down on me?" ”

The shopkeeper was so frightened by him that he straightened his neck.

Seeing this, Liu Bei persuaded: "Son, it's not easy for him to do some business, I think it's still ......."

"What the hell!" Cao Shuo said: "I can lose face when it comes to face, but the Cao family can't afford to lose this face......"

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he grinned at Liu Bei: "If Xuande Gong brings money, help me pay it first, and then give you the horse money when I go back." ”

Liu Bei wanted to say no, but he was afraid of offending Cao Shuo, and he didn't know when he would be able to ask him for the horse money.

After a moment of confusion, he said to Guan Yu: "Let's help Gongzi pay ...... first."

"Brother......" Guan Yu wanted to persuade.

Liu Bei said: "When the son encounters difficulties, he can't help them." He won't take us lightly. ”

"That's it!" Cao Shuo said: "I owe thousands of hangs, will there be less of these dozens of hangings?" ”

"Cao Zirong, when will you pay back my brother's horse money?" Zhang Fei shouted.

"Didn't you say it, I'll give it when Sima Zhongda comes back!" Cao Shuo pursed his lips: "It's so big, how can it be like I want to rely on you." ”

"Forget it! Never mind! Don't! Cao Shuo pretended to be very impatient and said to Wang Yan: "Let's go!" ”

Seeing that he was annoyed, Liu Bei hurriedly snatched the gold beads he had just taken out from Guan Yu's hands, held them in both hands and handed them to Cao Shuo: "Son, these gold beads should be enough!" ”

Cao Shuo shook it and teased the shopkeeper: "Do you see enough!" ”

The shopkeeper checked the number and nodded hurriedly: "Enough!" That's enough! ”

"Thank you Xuande Gong!" Arching his hand to Liu Bei, Cao Shuo said: "As soon as Sima Zhongda comes back, Xuande Gong will come to me and return all the money at that time." ”

"Grab the silk and let's go!" He gave a command to the guards.

Several guards entered the store and followed Cao Shuo out with bundles of silk.

Liu Bei clenched his fists and bowed to see him leave.

When Cao Shuo walked away, Guan Yu frowned and said, "Brother, why do I think something is wrong." ”

"He owes us thousands of hangs, and no matter how much he owes dozens of hangs, it's nothing." Liu Bei said: "If you annoy him because of this money, it will not be easy to want money in the future!" ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't say anything more.

Leaving the silk shop, Cao Shuo looked proud.

Wang Yan said: "Childe, we should bring gold beads when we go out, why do we have to borrow them from others?" ”

"You don't understand!" Cao Shuo said: "The borrowed money is easy to spend, especially if you don't have to pay it back after borrowing, it's even more enjoyable to use!" ”

"Didn't Childe say he wanted to pay him back?" Wang Yan asked confusedly, "Won't you pay it back?" ”

"I've said so much, how can I fulfill every sentence?" Cao Shuo said: "I also promised Your Majesty to help him recover the Han Dynasty." If you look at the situation in the world, how difficult is it to recover? Promises don't have to be kept, and what is fulfilled isn't necessarily what promises are made. Especially from the beginning I thought about pit your promises, who believes and who is stupid! ”

What Cao Shuo said, if Zhen Mi replaced it, they would definitely be able to understand it.

Wang Yan is simple after all, she listened to it in a fog, and she didn't understand it for a long time.

Just as he was about to take her home, the steward of Lingyun Pavilion ran out of the store.

When he arrived at Cao Shuo's side, the steward gave a big salute with a smiling face and said, "Childe, can you move to the store, I have a lot of things to ask." ”
