Chapter 320: Gentlemen
Attracting attention means that there will be a large number of "eyewitnesses", which is tantamount to adding difficulty to the task, and now in the capital where dignitaries and nobles gather, who would not know which family's young lady?
Su Jiudong replied slowly: "Today's situation is special, in order to conform to reality, I have to dress like this to be convincing." ”
"Today I'm going to Rongxin Buzhuang to find out, the guys and shopkeepers in the cloth village are all low-looking guys, dressed luxuriously, they are willing to pay attention to me, if I wear a coarse cloth and rough clothes into the cloth village, only the result of being kicked out."
But where to open a cloth village, all the people who want to come are not rich or expensive, in order to afford the price of various cloth fabric varieties, over time, many cloth village shopkeepers and men have developed the vision of "clothing to pick people".
Anyone who is poorly dressed is thrown out, because such customers are not their target customers and cannot afford their expensive fabrics.
After the modification was completed, Su Jiudong, who pretended to be a man, left from the back door of the General's Mansion and headed for Dongshi, but Su Jiudong's first destination was not Rongxin Buzhuang, but went to Mahang Xiangma first.
Su Jiudong pretended to be a distinguished guest who came here to play, and his eyes locked on the "doorman" young man at the entrance of the horse trading area.
Previously, Su Jiudong had sent someone to Ma Xing to inquire about the situation, and even secretly followed it in person, and finally set the "auxiliary candidate" selected in his heart on this goalkeeper.
This young man has only just come to this horse shop to guard the door, and most of the time on duty is on duty at the night when the doorkeeper uncle dislikes, so this young man has little contact with the shopkeepers of the various horse farms, and for them, the young man is counted as a fresh face.
It was not yet noon, and there was not much traffic in the horse shop, so the young man only caught sweet potatoes and sat idly at the entrance.
Su Jiudong stepped forward and whispered to the young man guarding the door for a while, and finally took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and rewarded it to the young man guarding the door, and carefully instructed before leaving: "After getting off the horse later, you can just put a circle chair on the side and wait." ”
The good thing that you can get money by sitting in this way is undoubtedly pie in the sky, and the young man at the door is naturally happy to see it, and he agreed with his mouth behind Su Jiudong's silver ingot.
After taking care of the young man guarding the door, Su Jiudong stepped into the horse shop.
As soon as Su Jiudong appeared at the entrance of the horse shop wearing a "shining" brocade silver robe, he immediately attracted the attention of many people. In the eyes of the horse-dealer merchants, a man with such appearance and clothing is either rich or noble, like a walking lamb that can be slaughtered.
Before Su Jiudong came to the specially selected racecourse, he took out a silver ticket with a face value of five thousand taels before he could speak, shook it in front of the fat racecourse shopkeeper, and stuffed the silver ticket into his arms before he could speak.
"The master wants to choose a first-class horse today, for horse racing with friends, the horses selected by those servants before are too bad, only good quality, but not as good as people, wasted tens of thousands of taels of silver in vain."
This sentence was deliberately said by Su Jiudong to pave the way, and it was easy to coax him by using tens of thousands of taels of silver to hang the appetite of the shopkeeper of the racecourse.
The shopkeeper of the racecourse heard that the shopkeeper in front of him was willing to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver for the horse race, and his eyes couldn't help but shoot out the essence, at this time, Su Jiudong was like a big Buddha who sprinkled money in the eyes of the shopkeeper Qi.
The shopkeeper Qi immediately accompanied Su Jiudong who was in Soma, and said diligently: "The horses in our horse farm are not only in good condition, but also run at the best speed. ”
Rao is shopkeeper's posture is flattering and his tone is courteous, Su Jiudong just replied with a light smile and snorted: "Master, I have been to so many horse farms, which one is not the princess who sells melons and says that her horses run fast?" Xiao Ye was deceived like this before. ”
Su Jiudong stopped in front of a black horse with oily and slippery fur: "This horse is tall and good-looking, it takes a lot of effort to raise it, right?" ”
As soon as Su Jiudong saw the black horse, he showed his intention to love it, and he stroked the horse skillfully, which shows that he is a person who often comes into contact with horses, and it is estimated that he really likes to race horses with people.
As everyone knows, Su Jiudong is very familiar with horses, because since she was dealing with horses every day during her northern expedition with the army, she is naturally familiar with how to quickly establish a good relationship with horses, which is also in line with the setting of the gentleman who loves to gamble on horse racing that she made up.
Shopkeeper Qi immediately replied enthusiastically: "This master is really worthy of being a horse lover, and his vision is very accurate!" This horse is one of the best horses in our racecourse, in excellent condition, and can run fast! It's like a shooting star! ”
"The condition of this horse is really good, but as for whether it runs like a meteor as the shopkeeper said, it is up to everyone, after all, who sells horses and doesn't boast that their horses run fast......" Su Jiudong still didn't put on a good face.
"Then according to the master, what do you mean......"
Su Jiudong finally looked at the shopkeeper squarely, and his attitude was still arrogant: "Whether the horse runs fast or not, it doesn't depend on what it says, take it out and shake it off and run to see the real chapter, the master wants to pull this horse out and ride it, if it really runs fast, buy it directly." "Book it
Su Jiudong took out the silver ticket with a face value of five thousand taels again and shook it in front of the shopkeeper Qi, and this time he didn't talk about the silver ticket until the shopkeeper saw it clearly, and said provocatively:
"This silver ticket is worth five thousand taels, the master brought a stack today, just to buy a horse that runs fast, if your horse is really fast, the master is willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver to buy it, what do you say about the shopkeeper?"
When the shopkeeper saw that Su Jiudong still had a careless attitude, from the five thousand taels of silver tickets that Yu had just taken out, and then glimpsed the bulging silver bag tied around her waist, he immediately confirmed that Su Jiudong was a rich and horse-loving owner.
Shopkeeper Qi gritted his teeth, and immediately promised Su Jiudong: "Since this master wants to try horses, then I will also let go out, and agree that you will take this horse out for a run, but it's just ......."
"Just what? Aren't you just afraid that I will run away on your horse, sir? Su Jiudong's face was displeased
"Now, look, do you see the man in blue?" Su Jiudong led the shopkeeper Qi to the door, pointed to the back of the young man guarding the gate of the horse shop, and only asked, but he didn't say anything anymore.
Shopkeeper Qi immediately nodded happily and took Su Jiudong to take the horse.
The shopkeeper ordered the man to untie the shackles of the black horse, and after Su Jiudong got acquainted with the horse, he stepped on the stirrup and turned over on the horse skillfully.
The shopkeeper Qi pondered: The horse action is so skillful, it must be a person who often races horses, in order to buy a horse willing to bid 100,000 taels, such a great good thing, such a money spent like flowing water, can not let the money to kill people come to the front and walk in vain.
Su Jiudong adjusted his sitting posture, clamped the horse's belly with his slender legs, and immediately rode out of the horse farm on a black horse, never looking back.
Shopkeeper Qi watched Su Jiudong's galloping back leave with joyful eyes, and at this time he was still thinking in his heart about how to spend the 100,000 taels of silver that was about to arrive.
When Su Jiudong rode a black horse and swept through the gate, he threw a string of two hundred copper coins to the young man guarding the door, and the young man quickly picked up the copper coin, and according to Su Jiudong's instructions in advance, he happily took out a circle chair and put it aside to wait.
The shopkeeper Qi saw the movements of the young man guarding the door from afar, and combined with the actions of Su Jiudong pointing at the young man just now, he regarded the young man guarding the door as Su Jiudong's entourage, and only then relaxed slightly.
Su Jiudong rode his horse and left the horse shop and went straight to Rongxin Buzhuang, Su Jiudong couldn't estimate when the shopkeeper of the horse farm would wake up and be deceived, so Su Jiudong's movements were relatively faster.
After Su Jiudong got off the horse, he told the little guy in the cloth village to tie the horses at the entrance of the Rongxin cloth village with great fanfare, and as soon as he stepped into the cloth village, he called the Wu shopkeeper of the cloth village to explain the intention.
"The miscellaneous family is under the hands of Yu Father-in-law, the chief attendant of the Wude Palace, and Father-in-law Yu said, the prince is not very satisfied with the treasure flower Luo you sent to the East Palace a few days ago." Su Jiudong's words made the shopkeeper Wu break out in a cold sweat behind him.
Su Jiudong was already born with a white face, and his face was clean, and after riding a horse, he took out the makeup remover cloth prepared in advance and removed the thick flour on his face, revealing his original complexion.
Such a woman's state, combined with the oily and slippery black horse outside Buzhuang, in the eyes of the shopkeeper Wu, is indeed in line with the posture of a eunuch, and only the palace can have such a good horse with such an outstanding appearance.
Su Jiudong was satisfied to see that the shopkeeper Wu was embarrassed, and slowed down his tone: "But the prince is anxious to wear new clothes to participate in the gathering of the nobles, so today he sent the miscellaneous family to your cloth village to take the Baohualuo that will be newly sent to the East Palace in the next few days." ”
Su Jiudong didn't know when the shopkeeper of the racecourse would react that he had been deceived by Su Jiudong, so he chased after Rongxin Buzhuang under the guidance of passers-by, so the tone of his voice and the state of the whole person were racing against time, faintly revealing a sense of anxiety.
In addition, Su Jiudong said that the prince was in a hurry to get Baohualuo materials for new clothes, which made people even more convinced, and the situation was indeed very urgent.
Su Jiudong's arrival also attracted the attention of a shopkeeper in Buzhuang, and at this time, seeing Su Jiudong's mention of picking up the treasure flower Luo sent to the East Palace, he immediately looked at Su Jiudong vigilantly and asked, "Dare to ask this father-in-law, is it your father-in-law who wants you, or the prince who takes you to pick it up?" ”
Su Jiudong frowned and replied impatiently: "Of course the prince sent a miscellaneous family!" It is said that he is not satisfied with the quality of Baohualuo! Urging the miscellaneous family to come to the new Baohualuo, the quality inside must be good and fast! ”
Su Jiudong deliberately accentuated the word "inside", and the hints in it stopped in the ears of different people, and they would have different meanings.
After listening to Su Jiudong's words, Shopkeeper Wu would only think that what Su Jiudong emphasized was the quality of Luo fabric; And the shopkeeper heard that it was the prince urging a reply.
"Is it really the prince who sent you to fetch it?" The shopkeeper asked, incredulous.
