Chapter 158: Horseback riding

Su Jiu'er felt like a crumbling fallen leaf, if it weren't for Gu Feng's hand around her waist, she would have fallen off the horse a long time ago.

"Phew!"

Gu Feng's indifferent voice sounded in his ears, and Su Jiu'er felt as if his surroundings had calmed down.

With her eyes tightly closed, Su Jiu'er stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Gu Feng's waist, her face turned pale, and her voice trembled, "Xiang, Xianggong." ”

"It's okay." Gu Feng held the horse's belly between his legs, grabbed the reins with one hand, and lifted Su Jiu'er's hat with the other hand, looked at her frightened face, and comforted in a low voice, "It's okay, you open your eyes." ”

Opening one eye anxiously, Su Jiu'er felt that the surroundings had calmed down, so she opened her eyes cautiously, and the hand that grabbed Gu Feng's clothes couldn't help but work harder.

Call.

Cautiously breathing a sigh of relief, Su Jiu'er turned her head to look up at Gu Feng, her clear eyes were like frightened deer, panicked, "Xianggong, I'm fine, we can go." ”

Gu Feng looked at Su Jiu'er's appearance, and was a little unbearable, "Why don't we go?" ”

Su Jiu'er pondered, even if she couldn't learn to ride a horse, she had to get used to sitting on horseback.

"Where am I so precious, I was just scared." A smile appeared on Su Jiu'er's pale face, and her breathing was unsteady, "It's good to get used to it now." ”

These words were just to comfort Gu Feng, she couldn't feel her legs anymore.

"It's not safe to sit sideways, you sit apart like me." Gu Feng said, and helped Su Jiu'er to sit on the back of the horse with his legs apart.

Su Jiu'er's heart was about to rise to her throat, and she grabbed Gu Feng's clothes with both hands and was unwilling to let go, even if she sat upright, she still grabbed Gu Feng's clothes.

"The one that protrudes in front of the saddle is the front saddle bridge." Gu Feng said, reached out and took Su Jiu'er's hand off his body, and led her hand to touch the front saddle bridge, "You can hold this, the saddle is pressed on the horse, as long as you grasp this, you don't have to worry." ”

Su Jiu'er hurriedly grabbed the front saddle bridge, but this was a heavy bulge, which was not easy to grasp, she pondered and turned around and asked someone to press the handle, so it would be easy to grasp.

Gu Feng put Su Jiu'er's leg on his lap, and reached out to put down the hat curtain in front of her, "Hold it on, let's go now." ”

As soon as Su Jiu'er heard Gu Feng say this, she subconsciously grabbed the front saddle bridge in her hand, and her legs were clamped involuntarily.

The horse didn't walk fast at first, Su Jiu'er felt that although the horse was bumpy and bumpy, it was very comfortable, and the fear at the beginning gradually disappeared.

Gu Feng had been paying attention to Su Jiu'er, and found that her body was not as tight as before, so he reached out and slapped the horse's buttocks suddenly, and clamped her legs hard.

The horse is like an arrow from a string, galloping into the distance.

Su Jiu'er's body fell backwards uncontrollably, slammed into Gu Feng's body, and found that Gu Feng's hands were on her sides, and her whole person was encircled by Gu Feng.

The fear in her heart dissipated a lot, and Su Jiu'er leaned in front of Gu Feng steadily, looking into the distance with her eyebrows stretched.

The trees around her ran backwards on their own as if they had grown legs, and the autumn wind made her feel a little cold, but she felt very excited.

"What do you think of that?" Gu Feng was afraid that Su Jiu'er would not be able to hear his words clearly, so he raised his voice, "Do you feel scared?" ”

"No, it won't." Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng with a smile, as if as long as she was with him, she wouldn't feel scared of anything she was afraid of.

Sitting on the horse, Su Jiu'er felt that it was exciting and fun, and when she arrived outside the town, when she was helped off the horse by Gu Feng, she only felt that her legs were a little different from her own.

Walking with trembling legs, Su Jiu'er reached out to hold Gu Feng's arm, and leaned lightly against Gu Feng's side.

Gu Feng didn't walk fast, and seemed to be taking care of Su Jiu'er, "Why don't I carry you on my back?" ”

"I'm fine, just take a few steps." Su Jiu'er pretended to be determined, trying hard not to let Gu Feng see the abnormality.

The two of them walked into the town talking and laughing, and when they arrived in front of the inn that Gu Feng said, Su Jiu'er looked at the inn and couldn't help but gasp.

No wonder Gu Feng said that he wanted to make two shops, mainly because this inn was too big.

Su Jiu'er remembered that the business of this inn was very good, but she wondered why they had to sell it, this was the best inn in the town, even if the business was not good this year, it would still be good next year.

Shatai Town, Shatai County, is located in a key position, all the mountains are within a radius of 100 miles, the population is rare, the trees are lush, the beasts are herd, few people dare to take the mountain road, the people who pass by the north and south, most of them choose to take the road of Shatai Town.

The Huns basically fought Liangzhou before, but also because they felt that it was useless to grab one or two more villages, and Shatai Town was easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if they fought it, they were destined to lose.

It is precisely because of the special location of Shatai Town that the government of Shatai County was also built on Shatai Town.

"Is this inn really going to be transferred?" Su Jiu'er felt a little unbelievable, if they bought this shop, as long as there was no natural disaster, they would definitely be able to make a lot of money all year round.

If she and Gu Feng lived in the town in the future, then no one would find out that Gu Si was not their biological child.

Su Jiu'er felt that the most important thing was that no matter how angry the Zhao family was with her, they would not come to the town every day to make trouble.

In the past, Su Jiu'er felt that her mother-in-law was the most difficult woman in the world, but she never expected that the Zhao family was the person who gave her the most headaches.

"It's on the wall." Gu Feng led the horse with one hand, and with the other hand he was free, he pulled her towards the inn, pointing to the words on it, "It's written on it, Ji Shop sells." ”

Su Jiu'er also saw the words written on it, pursed her lower lip, turned her head to look at Gu Feng and whispered, "Well, let's go in and ask." ”

If you put down this shop, it will cost at least 17,800 taels of silver, and Su Jiu'er is a little worried that they will not bring enough money.

The shop guy was still very enthusiastic, and when he saw a customer coming to the door, he greeted him with a smile, "Two guest officers, please come inside." ”

The shopkeeper stepped forward to help Gu Feng lead the horse and made a "please" gesture.

Gu Feng took Su Jiu'er's hand and walked inside, and walked to the counter, "I want to ask how this inn sells?" ”

Standing inside the counter was a tall and thin man in his forties, dressed in a cyan shirt, a little hunchbacked, "My master is on the second floor, please come with me." ”

The shopkeeper said, looked around, and finally stopped at the shopkeeper not far away, and shouted, "Xiao Tian, look at it." ”

"Hey." The boy who was wiping the table and was called Oda answered crisply.

Su Jiu'er felt that the shopkeeper looked a little strange, his steps were frivolous, and he seemed to be bored.

After waiting for the second floor, Su Jiu'er looked around secretly, followed Gu Feng for a few steps, and noticed that Gu Feng had stopped.

"Wait a minute, you two, I'll go and report to my master." The shopkeeper seemed to feel very embarrassed, and bowed and bent over at Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er.

Su Jiu'er understands now, and the reason why she dares to love the hunchback of the shopkeeper is because she bows and bends over every day.

In their society, there are clear classes, the poor can only be people with their tails between their legs, and the rich people act recklessly.

In the last life, Su Jiu'er saw that many masters executed slaves just for a sentence.

Even if someone sues the master of the executed slave to the county government, the people of the county government will turn a blind eye, because the slave is just a slave, the property of the master, and it is of no use at all except to obey the master's orders.

If a common person is killed, the government will also check and tell the truth of the matter, so that everyone can understand the real situation.

If a person with a meritorious name dies, the court will not find the murderer, and will also find a scapegoat to accompany the burial of the pillars of the country.

Su Jiu'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if she had killed An Zeqing with her own hands, at that moment, she would have been comfortable, but she herself would have been arrested and killed by the government, and she would no longer be able to live comfortably with Gu Feng.

"My lord invited the two of you to come in and discuss." The shopkeeper soon came out, opened the door, and said respectfully to Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er.

Gu Feng walked in first, and Su Jiu'er followed closely behind, stepping on a piece of softness on his feet, and hesitated, only then did he realize that they had stepped on the blanket.

Su Jiu'er felt that she could buy some of this kind of blanket to shop on the ground in the future, so that if Yang Yang learned to walk, she didn't have to worry about falling and it would hurt too much.

"Master Xiang."

Gu Feng's voice brought Su Jiu'er back to her senses, and she hurriedly saluted the old man sitting on the chaise longue.

"You may be seated." Master Xiang raised his eyelids, which had been drooping, and held a soup woman in his thin hand, covered with a futon, "I heard from the shopkeeper Zhou that the two of you want to take down this inn?" ”

Gu Feng pulled Su Jiu'er to sit aside, his eyes fell on Master Xiang's face, and he bowed slightly, "Yes, I don't know how much Master Xiang plans to bid?" ”

Su Jiu'er lowered her head and sat quietly on the side, she was a woman's family, men did business, nothing did without her, she just sat quietly on the side.

"Two thousand taels of silver." Master Xiang spoke without hesitation, the price seemed to have been said many times, his eyes reluctantly glanced around, his throat slid down, and his voice was old, "It's not okay to miss one or two." ”

Gu Feng's face was a little ugly, they only had 1,500 taels of silver in their house, and those scattered pieces of silver were not 100 taels.

When I first bought the land, most of the family's money was used to buy the land.

Su Jiu'er sat on the side, feeling that these two thousand taels were a bit expensive, and one thousand six or seven hundred taels was about the same.

"I also lived here when I was young," Master Xiang's eyes fell on Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er, as if he remembered him before, "At that time, my wife also came here with me, and we took a fancy to this place, and all the savings of the family were pressed on this inn." ”

Su Jiu'er raised her eyes to look at Master Xiang, originally thinking that he would be a fierce businessman, but she didn't expect to see an old man with tears in his loving eyes.

"Can't it be cheaper?" Gu Feng opened his mouth and asked, even if it could be a little cheaper, that would be fine.

"This is my life savings with my mother, I never thought that I would have to ......give it to my grandchildren when I get old" Master Xiang pursed his lips, his expression was in a trance, and he said softly, "This is the price, if the two of you are not satisfied, then there is no way to do it." ”

Gu Feng's brows furrowed, his lips pursed into a straight line, and he fell into deep thought, he really wanted this shop, if he had this shop, he would be able to make more money.
