Chapter 167: The sky-high asking price
As soon as he heard the playboy agree, there were sighs all around
The voice was only sighing, worried, regretful, and envious and jealous, but no one dared to whisper anymore.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the old bear's face.
The old bear's mung bean eyes flashed, and he sighed first: "Don't hide it from the playboy, these two horses have no trace of stepping on the snow, but it took a lot of energy and thought for the old man." In Jiujiangba alone, the old man waited for nearly half a year. The old man is old, and he is sixty out of eighty this year.
The old man wanted to sell the snow without a trace this time, and then he would rest first. ”
As he spoke, he quietly observed the changes on Hua Lan's face.
He is extremely shrewd, and Hua Lan is not stupid, isn't the purpose of going to ask for a price?
She laughed to herself, no matter what, these two horses were indeed good horses that she liked very much.
She is intentionally fulfilling, and naturally has a lot of honesty on her face.
Lao Xiong is an expert in observing words and feelings, understands Hua Lan's intentions, and takes the opportunity to say: "It is really not easy for these two horses to step on the snow without a trace, and the old man spent 100,000 taels of silver to hire the bravest rider on the Jiujiang Dam to tame these two good horses from the Golden River Valley." “
The old man spent 100,000 taels of silver to find the best horse trainer, and it took nearly five months of trial lectures to tame them well.
These two horses, docile like kittens, want them to go west, never to the east. The owner hits it, and it won't be annoyed, that's all. It took the old man a month to experiment with them himself, and then brought them back to Kyoto City. ”
"Huh?
The spring silkworm's mouth almost didn't reach the sky, and the queen didn't let her say any more, but she couldn't hold it back, and her mosquito-like whisper buzzed: "It's outrageous, right?" That's 200,000 taels of silver, and you have to add this and that. This is clearly blackmailing the master with a lot of money, is it not over? ”
The whisper of the spring silkworm gurgled like a mosquito buzzing in Hua Lan's ears.
Hua Lan pretended not to hear anything, and squeezed her arm hard.
As soon as the spring silkworm bared its teeth, the mosquitoes crowed silently.
"Old man, just say the number, no matter how much, just buy it."
Hua Lan was obviously encouraging the old bear to ask for a price.
When he said 10,000 taels, the whole horse market flocked to see the excitement, and when he added 100,000 taels, the whole horse market was about to boil.
I have heard that the young man of Huafu has a solid family, and he sprinkles a lot of silver, without blinking a few eyelids. That's hundreds of thousands of taels, what is Lao Xiong doing?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although these two horses are good, they are not as good as the other three of the old bear.
The best, one or two thousand silver is a horse, and the old bear actually said the sky-high price.
This is good, there is not only more envy, jealousy and hatred in the crowd, but more schadenfreude and jokes.
The old bear was not in a hurry, calm and composed.
These two horses have no trace of stepping on the snow, although the price is a bit exaggerated, but these hard-won four words, but there is no fraud.
These two horses are indeed pure breeds of snow without a trace. Originally, he didn't want to sell it, so he kept it for the famous general, and there were many good fortunes.
Since he met such a good gold owner, and he was willing to give out money, and Lao Xiong didn't use it, didn't he live in vain in this life?
It has only been a playboy for thousands of years, and eight billion taels of silver bought the Chu family, what is it if there is no place to throw away the silver?
This is not a remark, this is doing good, this is accumulating virtue, this is creation.
He has lived most of his life, and he has never hurt anyone on the horse? A good horse is worthy of a good master, what is the extra few taels of silver?
As soon as Hua Lan spoke, he muttered.
He was supposed to pay a playboy 200,000 taels of silver, but as soon as he took a breath, let alone 200,000 taels, 1 million taels, this playboy could afford it.
Thinking about Chu Baishan's eight billion taels of silver, he felt that one million taels was pitiful.
One million taels of silver is enough for his old bear to spend for the rest of his life, but people's hearts are like this, the more greedy they are, the more difficult it is to hide.
The old bear turned his heart sideways and stretched out two fingers to Hua Lan.
"Two hundred thousand taels?"
Spring silkworm ah Hua Lan stuck out her tongue behind her back, this is not buying horses, this is buying gold.
She secretly looked at the queen mother, and her face was worried.
The master didn't let her speak, her face was about to turn red, and she gave Hua San a look.
Hua San is an honest man, and he never intervenes in the master's affairs, and this time he couldn't help it: "Childe, 200,000 taels of silver, isn't it too expensive?" ”
When he said this, the old bear turned gray, and he glanced at Hua San very unhappily, "Young man, don't interject if you don't understand horses." These two horses are rare to tread on the snow without a trace, how can 200,000 taels be bought. The old man said two million taels. ”
"Two million taels?"
There were boiling exclamations in the horse market, but no one whispered.
When buying horses, they don't understand horses and don't dare to speak out, and when they sell horses, they are afraid of old bears and don't dare to talk much.
Two million taels of silver?
Hua Lan didn't want to know that the mung bean eyes in front of her were sneering at her.
But she really fell in love with these two good horses.
There is no trace of stepping on the snow, just listening to the name is very loud and like.
Two million taels of silver, buying two good horses that are satisfactory is not a loss.
Hua Lan nodded slightly, and she nodded in agreement.
"Wait!"
There was a shout from outside the crowd, and everyone turned their heads to look at the voice, and then everyone gave way to come.
"King Shou'an?"
As soon as Hua Lan looked at the person, her face darkened, "What is he doing here, isn't he going to court today?" Does the court often magnify fakes? Can this big week still be governed? ”
She looked directly at King Shou'an with very indifferent eyes, and walked over without hurrying, and did not speak, but there was more interest in her eyes.
She wanted to see what the purpose of King Shou'an came over, and she wanted to suppress this open-mouthed horse dealer, or to gloat at her Hualan joke.
Hua Lan didn't speak, and Lao Xiong didn't open his mouth, his little mung bean eyes kept secretly looking at King Shou'an.
King Shou'an's visit to the horse market today is purely accidental. The war horse of Sima Yifu, the general of the border pass, was assassinated by the enemy.
Sima Yifu loved his war horse very much, and as soon as the war horse died, he began to fall into depression.
There are two tiger generals in the border guards, and Sima Yifu is the most brave and good at fighting. His depression directly affected the morale and battle situation of the entire border pass.
When the border pass is now guarded, Cheng Wuhou sent a report to Kyoto City.
The little emperor is still in the Rao cavalry camp, and the people in the Rao cavalry camp can't move. As soon as the soldiers and horses of the Rao cavalry battalion moved, the little emperor became even more panicked.
King Shou'an was not easy, and the little emperor was pressed on it.
The little emperor didn't let him move the soldiers of the cavalry battalion, he had no choice.
At present, the food and salary at the border pass have finally been scavenged from Empress Sheng'an and sent to it.
After sending food and salary, he still needs people, people, he can't give it, and he has an idea about the problem of horses.
He sent people to inquire around, and the old bear in the West City was getting a few good horses.
Old bears are famous in the horse market of Kyoto Castle. The horses he sells are all priceless horses.
As soon as King Shou'an arrived at the horse market, he saw that there was something unusual in the horse market, and everyone flocked to the stable to see the old bear selling horses.
If the old bear wants to sell the horse, he still buys it from the gold master.
This is not good, King Shou'an hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, and was stunned when he saw that it was Hua Lan, it turned out that Queen Sheng'an wanted to buy a horse.
