Chapter 82: Two Horses with Names
There were two huge stone lions at the entrance of the Song Mansion, and they aimed at the passers-by outside. Song Lu's mansion is in Xicheng District, where all the dignitaries live here, covering a huge area, a row of walls can not be seen, the courtyard is deep, and you can smell the fragrance of plum blossoms.
There was a white-bearded old man at the door, wearing a dark green robe, bent over, and was about to close the door, but was quickly stopped by the two.
"Uncle, the two of us have something to ask to see Mr. Song Lu Song."
"What's the matter with you?"
"I heard that the house just bought two good horses, so I'm here to take a look."
The old man grinned and said, "This horse has just arrived at the house, and you people will know about it?" What do you want to see the horse do? ”
Yuan Xi said: "I want to buy it." ”
The old man glanced at the two of them and said, "Buy a horse?" Yes, fifteen gold per horse, a total of thirty gold. Take the money, and you take the horse. Do you have the means? ”
This man is really a lion's mouth, and the horse that he bought for ten gold will be tripled as soon as he sells it.
Although Yuan Xi had twenty gold in his hand, he didn't want to suffer this loss, so he said: "Uncle, you go and call your master to come out, whether you sell it or not, and how much it will cost, your master will decide it personally." ”
The old man smiled and said, "I am Song Lu, so I am a fake." ”
Yuan Xi was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that such a bad old man guarding the door was Song Lu, this time he was really blind. This Song Lu is such a big mansion, I'm afraid it's bigger than the Yuan Mansion, but he is dressed so ordinarily, if he doesn't know, he really thinks it's an old man who guards the door.
Song Lu saw him looking at himself, shook his clothes, and asked, "Isn't it like that?" ”
"Like ......" Yuan Xi said: "Mr. Song, this horse, you bought it for a total of ten gold, even if the Huns sell it themselves, that is, one piece of hardware, one horse of ten gold, a total of fifteen gold, I will give you fifteen gold, how about it?" ”
Song Lu stared at Yuan Xi with a smile and said, "Okay, I even inquired about how much I bought, it seems that I came prepared." How? Do you have to buy my horse? Tell you, I'm a master of Soma, those two horses, the jujube red one, the black one, it's clearly a thousand miles of horses, let alone twenty gold, even if it's a hundred gold, I won't sell you. ”
Yuan Xi said: "Mr. Song said that he laughed, even if it is a thousand miles of horses, it is useless for you to hold it in your hands, you have to feed good forage every day, don't you spoil the horses?" If you sell it to me, maybe the horse will come in handy. ”
Song Lu looked at him, then at Zhao Yun, and felt that the two of them didn't look like ruffians, and they came to entertain him, so he said, "I don't know what the two of you call them?" ”
Yuan Xi said: "Under Yuan Xi." ”
Song Lu's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Could it be the second son of the Yuan Mansion?" That's easy to say. A smile suddenly bloomed on his old face, making Yuan Xi unable to adapt to his enthusiasm all of a sudden.
"If the second son wants it, the old man will give you these two horses."
"Really?"
Yuan Xi was overjoyed suddenly, and the things that he had felt embarrassed about were suddenly solved. It's just that I don't know why this person is willing to sell horses as soon as he hears his identity. There are definitely some transactions involved in it. But since it is a transaction, there are contacts and discussions.
Yuan Xi asked, "I don't know what conditions Mr. Song has to send me a horse?" ”
Song Lu said: "The second son has seen the outside. What conditions can I have, not only this horse, but also the house behind me, if the second son needs it, I can also sell it to you at a discount. ”
Yuan Xi was confused and said, "House? What's the use of me asking for such a big house? Besides, I can't afford to buy this house. ”
When he came to this era, he inquired about the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, but he didn't know the price of real estate, but it was the same in any era, and the land in a big city like Yecheng would not be cheaper. Isn't it crazy that this old man wants to sell the house to himself? Or do you feel that you are a wronged boss and can make a fortune on yourself?
Song Lu said: "It turns out that the second son still doesn't know? The chief housekeeper of the Yuan Mansion has recently been looking for a beautiful house, and it is said that he is placing a new home for the second son. ”
"A new home?" No wonder I went to the house today to look for Yuan Fu, but I didn't find anyone anywhere, so I went out to buy a house. But why move yourself to a new home? You didn't say you would move out, did you? Could it be Zhen Ji's idea? The Zhen family has a lot of money, and it is easy to buy a new house. But if you can't move out, you have to decide Yuan Shao, the head of the family. According to the custom, in ancient times, men could live separately from their parents after the crown ceremony. But it generally depends on the actual situation, and there are many people like Yuan Mansion who are not separated. I have to go back and ask Yuan Fu about this.
Song Lu looked at Yuan Xi's expression, thinking that he was not satisfied, and said: "There is still a copper mine in the old decay, if the second son is interested, we can also operate it in partnership......"
Yuan Xi said: "Okay! What you have has nothing to do with me, can't your wife send me too? ”
Song Lu's old face wrinkled, and he said with a bitter face: "If the second son is good, then it is not impossible, I am afraid that the old woman in my family is old and decrepit, and the second son will not look down on ......."
"Go, go, don't buy your horse!"
Yuan Xi flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave. If I continue to talk about it, I don't know what will come out of his mouth.
Song Lu hurriedly said: "Second son, don't go, you can take these two horses, and they will be sold to you at my original price, a total of ten gold, this will be fine." ”
As soon as Yuan Xi turned around, he saw that the subordinates of the Song Mansion had brought out two horses, which were the two sold by the Huns before. The tall ones are pure black, and the short ones are reddish with a hint of white.
"Ten gold! I didn't suffer a single price, and you didn't take advantage of it, how about it? The second son made a decision. ”
In the blink of an eye, Song Lu seemed to have changed to a different person, he had just offered thirty gold and was still arrogant, and now ten gold was still begging to buy it himself. Yuan Xi had no choice but to say: "Zilong, take the gold." ”
Money and goods are both in hand.
Yuan Xi said: "This time, thank you to Mr. Song for cutting his love." ”
Song Lu said: "There is no doubt that this black horse is a thousand miles horse, and I hope that the second son will treat it well in the future." ”
Yuan Xi gave the black horse to Zhao Yundao: "This horse will be ridden by Zilong." I'm riding this maroon one. ”
Zhao Yun said: "How can this be done? ”
Yuan Xi said: "Why not? I won't go to the battlefield anyway, and I hope that Brother Zilong will be able to drive a good horse to the grassland in the future. ”
When Zhao Yun heard him say this, he didn't push it back, and it could be seen that this horse had a great appetite for him.
In this era, horses are like cars. Dong Zhuo just took out a red rabbit horse and subdued Lu Bu's heart. The red rabbit horse is obviously the same as the red Ferrari, not to mention the value of the horse, in the eyes of the world, the meaning is far more than a horse. It's just that in the end, Wang Situ came up with the killer weapon Diao Chan, which made the man change his mind again. Men, for things that can be ridden, are inherently not resistant. I believe that Zhao Yun got this dark horse, and he must be grateful to himself.
It's a pity that after looking at the favorability, the number above Zhao Yun's head jumped from 75 to 78, and the improvement was very limited. It seems that Zhao Yun is not the kind of person Lu Bu.
Song Lu said: "The second son will give the two horses a name, with the name, and then brand, the horse will be the second son's private property in the future." ”
"It's fine." Yuan Xi looked at Zhao Yun's black horse and said, "This one is called Tesila." ”
Zhao Yun was stunned: "This name is really weird......
Yuan Xi said: "Very special horses, one top four, running like four horses pulling, special four pulling." As for my horse......"
He looked at the mount under his crotch and said, "Let's call it Bierdi." ”
Song Lu said: "What a good name." ”
The two got on their horses, arched their hands at Song Lu, and said goodbye to the Song Mansion. The winter nights were relatively long, and the sunset had almost set, and the slender shadows of the two dragged on the ground. The horse's hooves hit the bluestone slab, indescribably crisp and beautiful.
