Chapter 62 "Buying a Horse"

Riding in a carriage is really a headache for quiet. The small space of the carriage makes people feel depressed for no reason. To be quiet, it is better to come comfortably in an open-top ox cart. However, the foot of this ox cart is too slow, and it is really a delay to go out to do an errand. After thinking about it, Quiet made an astonishing decision, she wanted to buy a good horse and keep it for herself to ride. This horse riding was quiet in a previous life, and the horseback riding skills were not bad.

So, early the next morning, the four of them went straight to the mule and horse market in the west of the city. This is the largest mule and horse market in Qingzhou Province, and there are all kinds of mules and horses for people to choose from. Although he can ride a horse, he doesn't know how to choose a horse, so he left this decision to Tong Feng.

Tong Feng hadn't spoken since he entered the city, he kept looking left and right, identifying, circled, and finally stopped in front of a big horse with black coat. This horse has a thick body, solid and powerful limbs, a large head and a wide forehead, a broad and deep chest, well-developed joints and tendons, a thick and shiny coat, and a lightning-like white hair on his head.

Tong Feng was a little confused when he saw that he was quiet, so he explained lightly, "Miss, this is a prairie horse, the characteristics of the prairie horse are hard-working, not afraid of cold, can adapt to any environment, vitality is extremely tenacious, can survive well under any conditions, and the grassland horse is extremely brave." Most of the war horses used in the army were purchased from the grasslands. Tong Feng's voice was tinged with surprise and appreciation for the horses.

Quiet really likes this horse, sometimes the eye edge is very important, so he smiled and nodded. Tong Feng turned to look at the horse dealer, "How much is this horse of yours?" ”

When the horse seller saw that these people liked the horse very much, he rolled his eyes and said, "My horse is worth two hundred taels." Guest, my horse is a purebred prairie horse, and I have only encountered such a large number of horses, and you can't buy this horse at a loss. ”

Quietly glanced at Tong Feng and didn't speak, because she didn't know what the price of the horse was?

Tong Feng directly opened his mouth and returned the price of "eighty taels"

"Hey, guest officer, aren't you making trouble? Where did you buy such a good horse for eighty taels? The horse seller thought to himself, this man is too ruthless, and he killed more than half of the price with one mouth. Seeing that the four of them were dressed quite richly, he thought that he had met a big wrong.

Tong Feng also ignored the peddler, turned around and said quietly, "Miss, let's go to another house to have a look, this horse dealer is dishonest, I'm afraid he will take us as the big boss." ”

"Hey, don't go, don't go, you can't buy a horse at a fixed price. Look at it, it's a real Maxima. Well, how about one hundred and eighty taels? When the horse seller heard Tong Feng say this, he hurriedly stopped them and said with a smile on his face.

In fact, this peddler's heart is also bitter, this horse is really good. Just because it's good, so the price is also high, it's been ten days, but someone asked, it's true that no one buys it, it's too expensive!

"Eighty taels, sell it, sell it, don't sell it." Tong Feng turned around and said with an impatient face.

The horse seller made a bitter face and forced out a smile, "Master, you can add more." I'll come here at this price, so let's let the little one earn a hard-earned money. ”

Tong Feng looked at Quiet, saw that Quiet nodded slightly, and then said to the horse dealer, "One hundred taels, bring a saddle and a whip." Okay, we'll pay. If it doesn't work, pull it down. Hugh has to say more about what we don't have, we already have a carriage ourselves, and we can buy this horse or not. He gestured to his carriage.

The horse seller, seeing that Tong Feng and his party were so resolute, and seeing that they were really leading the carriage, he nodded with a painful face. put the saddle on, and handed the whip to Tong Feng, and then accepted the silver ticket handed over by Tong Feng.

The horses they had bought were tied to the back of the carriage, and the group bought a lot of food on the street, and spent fifty or sixty taels on the whole of it. Quiet also gave Tongfeng and Leng Qiu five taels of silver each, asking them to buy something they liked, after all, the Mid-Autumn Festival is about to be celebrated. A few people happily took the money and went to pick their favorite gifts.

Tong Feng, who has always been taciturn, took the silver and ran directly to a small stall he had just walked by. Quiet saw him staring at the stall selling flowers several times, and then thought of giving them the silver. When he goes out and thinks about his wife and children at home, such a man is a good man.

After returning to the inn and loading all the things they bought into the carriage, the four masters and servants set off out of Qingzhou Mansion.

There was silence all the way and she didn't get into the carriage, and she rode the horse she bought and ran down the avenue. At first the horse was very disobedient, and he threw himself back and forth, trying to turn the silence off the horse. Such a unique horse makes quiet and inspires her fighting spirit. No matter how the horse stumbled, the silence still sat firmly on the horse. It shocked the other three people into a cold sweat. It didn't take a quarter of an hour for the haughty and untrained horse to surrender quietly. It made the three people in the carriage admire the quietness, and they all felt that such silence was simply too powerful. can be literate, martial arts, and hunting, and now even this fierce horse can be tamed. In their hearts, silence is simply omnipotent.

The three of them came slowly, and rode quietly on a horse all the way back to Qing'an County. Before noon arrived at the door of the house, the family was very happy to see the quiet, and bought a large size, especially the little girl's family couldn't help cheering, in his cheers, quietly, picked her up, put her on horseback, and led the horse to the stable.

Eleven-year-old Jiayue is getting more and more beautiful. This is a very shy little girl, and she will only look like a child in front of quiet. The little girl sat on a tall horse, and because it was the eldest sister who led the horse, she was not afraid. Surprised to open his small mouth, a pair of big eyes shiny, looks particularly cute.

Tong Feng: When they arrived home, it was already half an hour later. The contents of the carriage were put in place, and the three of them went to lunch.

Jiaming has been at Mr.'s house every day. For the big exam in the fall, Mr. will open a small stove for him every day and teach him alone.

Although Jiaming is not Dingding's intelligence, he is extremely knowledgeable. Quiet has always known Jiaming's thoughts, this child is so desperate to get ahead, just to be able to lighten the burden of her eldest sister. Perhaps because of the early death of his parents, Jiaming's child's mind matured much earlier than his peers.

An Qing also persuaded him several times, telling him not to work so hard. But this kid nodded in agreement, and still did his own thing behind his back. After doing this a few times, the silence went with him. Sometimes when I think about it, it is not a good thing that these can be the motivation to move forward.

Thinking that in ten days, Jiaming will participate in the autumn exam, and his quiet heart is a little bottomless. For the examination rules of this era, Jing Jing doesn't understand, and I don't know if Jiaming will be able to pass the exam this time? If you can pass the test, you will naturally be happy, and if you don't pass the test, it is nothing in the quiet view. After all, Jiaming's age is still young, and there will be time and opportunities in the future. What she was afraid of was that if she failed the exam, it would hit Jiaming's enthusiasm and confidence. Looks like I'm going to have to find a time to talk to Jiaming.

I sighed quietly and quietly, I always felt that I couldn't finish, this is really a sweet burden!
