Chapter 15: Wang Lang and Ma
The middle-aged man said with a frown
"That kid from the Zhao family?"
Wang Lang nodded. A cold light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes and he continued
"Alright, you don't have to worry about this, the emperor will know. Jinchan Temple, it's time to knock and knock them. ”
Then the father-in-law who had seen him last time walked in and said something in the ear of the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man nodded and said to Wang Lang
"Boy, I have something to do, we'll see each other soon. This time I went first. ”
Then he said to Zhao Xiang
"Xiang'er, come with me."
After speaking, he didn't wait for Wang Lang to say anything more, got up and left.
In the next few days, Wang Lang still lived a comfortable, chic and leisurely life. And Wang Weizhou's relationship with Lin Yinger continues to heat up. No, just now his father Wang Gui also said that he would meet Lin Wan'er's family in three days. Everyone discussed the marriage of the two people. This is not good for Wang Weizhou. Say anything, you have to invite Brother Zhao to go to the food for the immortal to celebrate. Wang Weizhou dragged Wang Lang to various mansions to find people, not to mention that everyone really gave face, except for Li Yeyu, everyone was there. So Zhao Jian proposed that people go to Li Yeyu, and they went to eat as immortals first.
Wang Lang squeezed to Niu Dahu's side and asked curiously
"Brother Big Tiger, where is that kid Ye Yu? It can't be a tryst with a girl. ”
Niu Dahu laughed and said
"Wei Fang, you think everyone is living so leisurely like you. Everyone has an official position. Every day, I have to go to my respective yamen to report and walk around. Ye Yu, this kid, went to deal with those damaged war horses today. I'll be back in a moment. Maybe we'll run into this kid again. ”
Not to mention, it's such a coincidence. When everyone just walked to the gate of Shiwei Immortal, they met Li Yeyu. I saw Li Yeyu wearing armor and leading a black high-headed horse, the black horse looked majestic and very beautiful. Li Yeyu saw everyone and hurriedly came over and said
"All the brothers are here. Where is this going? ”
Zhang Xiao, the son of the pioneer officer Zhang Da, said with a smile
"Ye Yu, isn't this Brother Weizhou inviting us to drink in order to thank us."
Li Yeyu looked stunned. Wang Lang didn't talk to everyone, just walked up to the black horse and carefully touched the black horse, not to mention, the black horse is still very docile. rubbed it on Wang Lang's palm. Wang Lang was happy and no longer afraid. Wang Lang and the dark horse made out for a while, turned around and shouted to Li Yeyu
"Brother Ye Yu, Brother Ye Yu, here and here."
Li Yeyu saw Wang Langchong recruiting himself, so the lackey came to ask
"What's wrong with Wei Fang?"
Wang Lang said to Li Yeyu
"Brother Ye Yu, is this horse yours?"
Li Yeyu shook his head and said
"No, it's a war horse, it's broken. However, I saw that the damage to the horse's hooves was not too serious, and it was good to go back and take care of it. ”
Wang Lang learned that this was a damaged war horse, so he said
"Brother Ye Yu, how about a discussion?"
Li Yeyu said vigilantly
"What discussion? Let me tell you, brother, I have too little, and it is absolutely not okay to go to the drunken flower building. ”
Maybe Li Yeyu's voice was a little loud, and all the brothers looked at them. They all came over curiously. I want to know what these two people are secretly discussing. Just now, everyone vaguely heard the word Zuihualou.
Wang Lang rolled his eyes, he was speechless, and said in his heart
"Brother, am I that kind of person? Where is the drunken flower building. Jinwu City is famous for its close to the cave. ”
Wang Lang said helplessly
"Brother Ye Yu, brother didn't mean that, brother just wanted to say, can you give me this horse, I like this horse a lot. You see, this horse is as handsome as I am."
The dark horse really gave face, and then snorted. It's like agreeing. The crowd laughed. Li Yeyu said with a smile
"Okay, well, look at you and this horse brother are so close to each other, this horse is yours. But you owe me a drink. ”
Wang Lang happily touched the horse's head, this was the first horse he owned.
Wang Lang looked at how such a good horse could be treated as a loss, so he asked curiously
"Brother Ye Yu, this horse is not injured, why was it dealt with?"
Li Yeyu looked at Wang Lang strangely, as if Wang Lang had asked some idiot-like question. So he said
"The horse's hooves have a layer of substance like our fingernails that wears off over time. This horse can't go to war. Otherwise, our losses will be even greater. The horse hadn't worn out, but it was dying. So I took it out by the hand. ”
Wang Lang curiously raised the horse's front hooves to see what was going on, but was stunned at first glance. After a while, he said to Li Yeyu
"Where's the horseshoe? How is there no horseshoe? ”
Li Yeyu and everyone were also stunned, and Li Yeyu asked
"Horseshoe? What is Horseshoe? ”
Wang Lang lowered his head and compared the horse's hooves, and said while gesturing
"It's similar to the shape of a horse's hoof, made of iron, and then nailed to the horse's hoof. In this way, the wear and tear of the horse's hooves can be delayed. ”
As soon as Wang Lang looked up, he saw the green light in the eyes of the brothers. Even his eldest brother is the same. It's like seeing a big girl with no clothes on. Wang Lang pulled the corners of his mouth without laughing, and quietly took a step back, and everyone followed suit. The dark horse looked at the group curiously from the side, not understanding what they were doing.
All of them are from a family of military generals, and they are also horse lovers. Where do not know the importance of horses to them. If you have a horseshoe, the loss rate of the horse will decrease. Your own horse won't be so easily injured. This is good news for generals and cavalry. The first to come to his senses was Zhao Qian. Zhao Jian stepped forward and grabbed Wang Lang's arms and said viciously
"Where's the horseshoe?"
Wang Lang swallowed and said
"Yes, at the blacksmith's shop."
Huang Dutong, Huang Baizhan's son Huang Dan said
"I know that there is a blacksmith shop in the West Square, which is very famous. The blacksmith was very good."
So everyone pulled Wang Lang straight to Xifang. When he arrived at the blacksmith shop in Xifang, Zhao Jian asked loudly
"Boss, do you have a horseshoe?"
An old man in his sixties walked out and asked suspiciously
"This official, what is a horseshoe."
Zhao Jian didn't know either, he knew that the horseshoe was also what Wang Lang had just said, so he turned his head to look at Wang Lang.
Wang Lang walked forward and said to the old man
"My husband has a pen and paper, I'll draw it for you."
The old man said hurriedly
"Yes, yes,"
So he asked people to take out a pen and paper, and Wang Lang drew a general shape on the paper and made comparisons and words, so that the blacksmiths could understand. Who made Wang Lang's painting work bad?
They waited at the smithy for two hours. The blacksmiths made the horseshoe and the nails. Wang Lang picked up the horse's shoe, which was more than a pound heavy, with eight nail holes on it. Wang Lang asked Zhao Jian and the others to tie their legs so as not to kick themselves when they got it. Wang Lang wasted his strength to nail the four horseshoes.
The black horse was a little unaccustomed to being nailed to the horseshoe, shaking his head and snorting. In short, it's very unpleasant. looked at Wang Lang's eyes with resentment.
Zhao Jian saw that everything was finished, and then turned over and said to everyone
"Brother, I'll try it first. Brothers, wait for me. ”
Talking about beating horses and leaving, the horseshoe and bluestone slab road made a gada gada sound, which was very good. In the expectant eyes of everyone, Zhao Jian came back. Zhao Jian came back with excitement on his face. Turning over and dismounting, Zhao Jian hugged his fist at Wang Lang and said
"Wei Fang, my brother thank you for your brothers on the battlefield. If I had had a horseshoe earlier, my soldiers would not have died so many battles. ”
Zhang Xiao hurriedly asked on the side
"Brother Zhao, what's going on? Tell me about it, so that the brothers can know. ”
Zhao Jian laughed and said
"Brother, I just went out of town. After walking a mountain road, there is no problem at all, you see, isn't this horse good? Wei Fang, you are really a hero of our soldiers. No, I'm going to tell my father and Marshal Liu now. Can't afford to delay. Brothers, we will meet again in the evening, in the evening. Brother, I'll go first. Wei Fang, you still borrow your horse from your brother for a few days. I will definitely pay you back after three days. ”
Without waiting for Wang Lang to speak, he got on the horse, and Gada Gada ran away. Wang Lang could only keep his mouth shut.
Wait until the evening when Zhao Jian reappears. The people asked him what about his horse. Zhao Jian shook his head and did not speak. A look of mystery. In the end, with the concerted efforts of everyone, Zhao Jian died gloriously at the wine table.
