Chapter 138: Selling Horses
Dianjin is the name that Jin Ling gave to Ma Xin.
Qi Huan said that this was the most docile horse in his stable.
Giving horses to increase money and give public maps, Qi Huan can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to her.
After resting on the grass and running for half a day, Jin Ling arrived at Sanqiao Town, the first town on the west road in Qihuanquan.
Sanqiao Town is located at the junction of Qilu and undertakes the commercial exchanges between the two countries.
There is a river in the middle of the town, the east of the river is the country of Qi, and the west of the river is the country of Lu.
Strictly speaking, Sanqiao Town is shared by Qi and Lu.
The town of Three Bridges is called Three Bridges Town because there are three bridges connecting the east and west banks throughout the town.
When Jin Ling came to the east of Sanqiao Town, the sun was already in the west.
When Jin Ling entered the town, she found that the town was more prosperous than she imagined, and the main road was crowded.
The sun is still high, and the town of Sanqiao is full of red lanterns.
Young women in colorful clothes shuttle endlessly.
Just after entering the entrance of the town, the young man who looked like an official greeted him: "Today is the Tangram Festival, and the road to the fairy bridge is only for people and not cars, so you should take a detour." ”
Tangram.
It's no wonder that the town starts to light up in broad daylight. It turned out to be a holiday.
was held hostage by that inhuman Li Wei all the way, and she couldn't even figure out the date. It turns out that it's Tangram Day.
If there is no shipwreck, she should be sitting in the winery in the western suburbs of Yingtian at this moment.
Seeing Jin Ling pulling Ma Bugong, the official said, "You are here to recruit relatives from the Du family." Then you go south, turn right in the third alley, and there is an inn that can help you watch the horses. ”
The Du family is the richest man in Sanqiao Town, and the Du family has sent out the news half a year in advance of this recruitment, and the young descendants of Shili Eight Village have moved in a few days ago.
When the official saw Jin Ling riding a tall horse with a black and yellow face, he thought that he, like other countrymen, had bought a horse to try his luck in order to change his fate.
Although the Du family is the richest man, the Du girl is extremely ugly and has a strong temperament, even the Du family is very rich and the people in Sanqiao Town are not willing to marry. Master Du came up with a way to throw hydrangeas to recruit relatives, as long as an unmarried man under the age of thirty is willing to join the Du family.
"How do I get there?" Jin Ling asked with a smile.
"It's not going to Du's house!" The official also smiled, "The horse shop is also going south, and the sixth alley turns in, and it is on the left-hand side." But there shouldn't be many people over there right now. ”
"Because the Du family recruits relatives?"
"Yes! Master Du set up a colorful building at the fairy bridge tonight and threw hydrangeas for his only daughter Du Yuexiu to recruit relatives. ”
"Throwing hydrangeas?" Jin Ling suddenly came to her senses, such a plot can only appear in TV dramas, but I didn't expect it to be here.
"yes!" The official said with a smile, "Miss Du is already twenty years old, and if she doesn't get married, she will become an old girl." This is not in a hurry. You're a foreigner, you haven't gotten married yet, so you might as well try it. The Du family has only one daughter, and marrying her is a lifetime of endless glory and wealth. ”
"Thank you!" Jin Xiang smiled, "Thank you for informing." ”
Jin Ling followed the official road all the way to the south.
When I got to the sixth alley, I realized that I had reached the southernmost part of the town.
There are still people in the stable.
Jin Ling led the horse into the stable.
"Good horse!" The Soma Master looked at Jin Ling's horse a few times, looked at the teeth carefully, and then asked with a smile, "Little brother really wants to sell horses?" But have you figured it out? ”
"You've figured it out!" Jin Ling also smiled back, "Let's make a price." This horse is hard to come by. If you don't change hands within a month, I'll redeem it for twice the price, and we can sign an agreement. ”
Soma Shi lowered his head and checked the horseshoe again, and then looked carefully at Jin Ling stretched out three fingers at her, "Do you see this number of lines?" ”
This should be Ma Shi's code words, this horse master is bullying her young. Fortunately, she said first that she would redeem it at twice the price. If there is a desire to earn twice as much money as her, the price should not be low.
"So be it!" Jin Ling smiled, "You have a mule here, choose an endurance one for me, plus a green cloth car, plus the number you said?" ”
The leg strength of a mule is no worse than that of a horse, but the price is much different.
Soma Shi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and retracted a finger, "If you want mules to add carts, you can only count this number." ”
"Deal!" Jin Ling is very crisp.
When she and Qi Huan asked for horses, she planned to change the horses for cars, and she started with a small business. Businessman, it's still practical.
Besides, what Qi Huan gave her was a good horse, which was used to pull the cart, which was a bit violent.
Soon, Jin Ling chose a mule with a swarthy body, a tall body and well-developed limbs.
When the cart was loaded and the two thousand silver tickets were obtained, it was dark.
Fortunately, the town was full of red lanterns, and Jin Ling drove the car around the south side of the town, renting a small house with a yard for five hundred taels of silver a month.
After all this is settled, it will be completely dark.
The small house has three upper rooms plus two west wings, but fortunately, the courtyard is large. The courtyard is surrounded by flowers and trees, and there is a circle of big trees around the yard, which shows that the original owner is a very caring person.
"This turned out to be Li Shiliang's home, and their girl was selected as a show girl, and the family moved to Yingtian."
The old man who sold the house saw that Jin Ling was paying the money happily, so he said a few more words.
"All gone?" Jin Ling sighed, only then did she feel that the family had a heart, and suddenly felt unreliable.
"Not really!" The old man smiled, "Li Shiliang only got a daughter when he was over thirty years old, and he held it in the palm of his hand on weekdays. The beloved daughter went to Yingtian, and the couple naturally followed. However, they also entrusted this house to me, only renting it, not selling it. I see that you are young and living alone, and you are pure. Before this, there were three members of the Li family plus a mother-in-law. ”
"Apart from a change of clothes, valuables and all furniture were ready-made. It's the perfect place for you to rent for business. ”
After sending the old man away, Jin Ling simply cleaned up and rushed towards the fairy bridge.
She doesn't have much thought about recruiting relatives, but basically everyone in the town will go there tonight, and you can go there to learn more directly about the customs of this town.
You don't even have to ask for directions.
The color building of the first fairy bridge was built high, and fireworks were set off one after another.
Jin Ling came to the Cai Lou only to find that the Cai Lou was already crowded with people.
The color building has a small three-storey building, like an octagonal exquisite tower, the eight corners are hung with wind lanterns, and then with colorful satin, it looks like a big stage of flowers and branches from a distance.
Jin Ling tilted his head, and before he could even see the people upstairs clearly, he saw a red silk arrow hit his bun.
Jin Ling was startled, and before his hand could touch the soft arrow on his head, he was set up by a group of powerful and powerful family members.
"This new uncle's body is too thin!" A housekeeper holding her shoulder shouted, "Why did the girl take a fancy to him!" ”
