The Liu family sent away the unknown gift giver, and Liu Chenxing also passed through the flow of millions of people in Chang'an and came to Jiang Mo's farmhouse in Qujiang, south of the city.

Turned over and dismounted, a male servant A Sheng greeted him, before and after the saddle, he saw that Liu Chenxing's mount had changed, although it was not a famous horse, but he was a good horse, and he looked at Chili Although his appearance was just a big road, he was extremely ordinary, and his body was not tall, but his limbs were strong and strong, and his feet were obviously good, I don't know how much stronger than Liu Chenxing's previous thin little brown horse, and he congratulated him at the moment: "The lady has changed her mount?" This is a good horse! Just look at the limbs. ”

As he spoke, he tethered the foal to a tree outside the farmhouse, and saw that the reins of the horse were also made of leather, and a pair of eyes involuntarily glanced into the saddle.

At this glance, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Don't look at this saddle is not as fancy as the saddle of the princes and grandsons of Chang'an, the jewelry and jade agate are inlaid on it, this saddle is wrapped in fine cowhide, and the workmanship is fine.

"A good horse with a good saddle, this set of mounts for a lady should cost a lot of money." I couldn't help but sigh when I looked at it.

It's really ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi.

Not long ago, it was clear that she was a peasant girl with nothing.

Even if it is a female lifter, in fact, it is nothing in Chang'an, and her status is not as good as that of a celebrity at the beginning, but she is the target of many poor people.

And now that he has his own house in Chang'an, he still becomes a Beijing official, and now he has changed his mount.

A good official horse costs 20 yuan, and in the early years it cost at least 25 yuan, but in recent years, there have been more people raising horses, and there are even more private horses, and the types of horses are uneven, and the prices are also different. But this horse looks ordinary, but it can be regarded as a good horse, not something that can be bought for a few thousand dollars, and I am afraid that it will at least have to be compared with the price of an official horse of twenty yuan.

There is also a set of saddles on the market for 80 yuan, a set of pouts and reins for 500 yuan, and a horse whip for 50 yuan, which is still compared to the cheapest horse equipment configuration, according to the equipment on this horse, it is impossible to take it without four or five turns.

In this way, all the calculations can be twenty or thirty times, and when you say it, you will take it out, and now it is worth a lot of money.

The manservant Ah Sheng is sometimes responsible for the purchase of the farmhouse, and he still knows a lot about some prices, so he estimated the approximate price according to his own cognition, and his face was full of envy at the moment, and he spoke repeatedly, and he was full of flattering words, "There are many girls who ride good horses in Chang'an, but in the eyes of the villain, they are not as good as the lady." Most of them were purchased by their families, and only the lady bought it herself. After a pause, he made a plan: "But the lady's set is not enough, and then a long knife on the waist is neat, this good iron horizontal knife is only 2,000 Wen, if the lady wants to choose a shoulder knife one day, the villain can lead the way." ”

At this moment, Ah Sheng was able to say so much, Liu Chenxing raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and said: "This horse is not purchased by me, but I recently received an errand, this horse was lent to me to run an errand, and I will have to pay it back in the future." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Chili and said with a smile: "It's called Chili, the official's horse, help me take care of it, feed it some ...... later."

Horses don't just eat grass, they also eat grain.

A horse costs three stone chestnuts a month, sixty pieces of grass, and a little salt, and according to the local prices in their past, they get 1,300 wen a month.

Therefore, in the past, there has been no Aya Liu Qianli to buy a horse, and would rather rent.

After all, this cheap weak pony can afford to be raised, and the money for raising this horse is much more expensive than the modern oil money.

I wanted to say that I would feed some food, but now that food is expensive, people don't have enough to eat, it's a bit of a luxury to feed the horses, and it's okay to feed the food at home, but it's not good to be like this in the teacher's house, Liu Chenxing's mouth slipped away, and he changed his words and said: "Just feed some grass." ”

"How can you just eat grass, and the villain will add some food." Ah Sheng followed aside, and also reacted with a very quick smile, and then said enthusiastically: "But the horizontal knife lady can be matched, the villain has seen Brother Ling also carry a knife, and the lady can also let Liu Jinshi choose a knife together." As he spoke, he suddenly looked east and west for a while, and then lowered his voice and said: "There is a great drought in Guanzhong, and the price of grain has soared recently, after all, Chang'an is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there is nothing to make trouble, but the Persian merchants who came to deliver melons and fruits from the Western Regions today said that when they were forty or fifty miles outside Chang'an, they were almost robbed, although there were no casualties in the end, but they still lost some food. ”

Hearing this, Liu Chenxing had already walked to the courtyard of the farmhouse, and frowned: "Within a hundred miles of Chang'an, it is considered to be a major land in Gyeonggi, and there is actually a blatant theft, and no one cares about the county yamen?" ”

Seeing that Liu Chenxing was interested in this, Ah Sheng hurriedly said in detail: "How to care? I heard that they are all local croppers, and there is really no way to do it, so they have to steal from the past merchants, and the county yamen is too busy to take care of the people who go to the grain store to make trouble all day long. I only hope that the imperial court will provide some relief food sooner, otherwise this day will be sad. ”

After listening to what Ah Sheng heard, Liu Chenxing was silent for a moment, didn't say much, and only smiled casually: "You have a heart of worrying about the people, and you should be able to act soon if you want to come to the imperial court." ”

Ah Sheng listened to this very casual sentence, and he didn't care, but continued to express his heartfelt words: "The lady usually goes in and out alone, and there is no servant to follow, the villain thinks that there is a knife that can bluff people, especially in this world recently, so the villain gives advice to the lady like this." ”

Stop.

There is some truth to this.

Not to mention that the world is not safe recently, she needs to pay more attention.

From all kinds of TV dramas, we all know that the safety of life and property is not guaranteed for the ministers who generally investigate corruption.

Although she is only the most inconspicuous person in the inspection team, what if she is so unlucky?

There are so many people in the Forbidden Garden, looking at the one who followed Shen Zhongyi behind him, and got Shen Zhongyi to borrow a horse temporarily, maybe he would be used as a target, maybe he would kill chickens and monkeys, or he might find persimmons to be soft.

Liu Chenxing cherished his life the most, and thought of all kinds of things at a thought, and immediately accepted Ah Sheng's kind reminder, and said: "It makes sense, I'll buy a weapon when I turn around." ”

However, even if the long sword and horizontal knife are forgotten, it is estimated that the decoration is more important than the reality.

A small dagger is just right to hide.

If you encounter any accidents, you can surprise them.

It's just that I don't need to talk to Ah Sheng in detail about this.

Liu Chenxing had an idea, smiled and said this to Ah Sheng, took off his shoes under the eaves and went to the hall, and said before anyone could say anything: "Teacher, Ah Xing is here." ”
