Chapter Eighty-Seven: Rush to help
After only looking at it for a while, they felt a little dazzled, Ruan Yunsi and Zhong Xiuyun Niang both took a fancy to a black carriage, and were about to negotiate the price with the guy, when they heard a chuckle from behind, and then a familiar voice said: "The girl has always been shrewd and refreshing, why is it that today she makes people look at the layman?" That's not how the carriage was chosen. (倩倩Chinese.)"
Ruan Yunsi didn't wait to turn around to know who it was, and couldn't help but howl in her heart, is there a mistake in the secret way? How can you meet this guy everywhere? It's too ghostly? Yun Niang and Zhong Xiu Zhong Nan on the side turned around happily and said with a smile: "Xiao ...... Su Gongzi, why are you here? β
"Come and do some business, and just as I was about to leave, I saw you." Su Mingxi smiled slightly, probably seeing Ruan Yunsi's doubts, so he deliberately explained Chapter 17: I rushed to help and said that I was here for business. Then he walked to the carriage, looked carefully at the wheels and wheels, shook his head, and said: "Although this car is easy to please the girls on the outside, but the materials are not good, the girls look again, since it is a carriage, it is natural to ride, the appearance is secondary, and whether it is comfortable to sit is the most important......"
He didn't wait for him to finish, Ruan Yunsi slapped his forehead, and thought to himself, yes, I'm stupid, isn't this the same as buying a car in Hyundai? Can you buy a car just by looking at it? Of course, it depends on the performance configuration, the feeling of sitting in it, wearing it back for so many years, I have forgotten this, and I have to be embarrassed in front of this little grandfather, it really shouldn't be......
Since Su Mingxi was enthusiastic about helping, the carriage seller naturally couldn't fool a few of them anymore, and finally chose a dark green carriage with a large space inside. Enough to sit in a big carriage for five or six people, Su Mingxi asked the guy to decorate the appearance of the carriage according to Ruan Yunsi Yunniang's preferences.
Ruan Yunsi felt that the car was a bit big, but she heard Su Mingxi say: "It's not too big, if it's leisure." It's also good for a few of you to get in the carriage and go out for a walk. After saying that, seeing that the guys came up again and asked them if they wanted to choose two horses, Su Mingxi did not wait for Ruan Yun Chapter 17: Hurry up to help Silk speak. He waved his hand and said, "No need." β
"Buy only carriages and not horses?" Ruan Yunsi looked at Su Mingxi in surprise, thinking to herself, doesn't this mean that you don't need the engine inside to buy a car? I...... I don't have a horse in this car, how can I run? Just thinking about it, I heard a long neighing behind me, and when I looked back, Ming Yan walked over with two high-headed horses with a rein in one hand.
"This is ......" Ruan Yunsi couldn't hide her shock. Zhong Nan and Zhong Xiu were already happy to step forward, the two big horses were red and pure black, their coats were smooth and shiny, and they stood here, and they compared the dozens of horses in the west when they landed. Something extraordinary.
"This is what I gave to the girl." After Su Mingxi finished smiling, he saw Ruan Yunsi's slender eyebrows wrinkled again, he knew that the other party didn't want to have too much to do with him, so he hurriedly changed his words: "No, I sold it to the girl, instead of buying a horse here, my horse is always better, and it's safe to use, isn't it?" β
"But...... How much does it cost to buy two horses like this? "Ruan Yunsi has also been in high society. If such a big horse is in modern times, it will cost at least a few million, and it may even be the darling of the arena, but now, they can only be sold by Su Mingxi to pull a cart for himself, but no matter what. Su Mingxi was able to take the initiative to comprehend her intentions, and she was still very satisfied with the word "sell" instead of "sending".
"Two horses, the girl gave me twenty taels of silver." Su Mingxi knew that if the price was too low, Ruan Yunsi would not believe it at all, and sure enough, she looked at her suspicious gaze and said suspiciously: "Such a divine horse, it should be a war horse?" It's only worth twenty taels of silver? Su Gongzi still praised me for being cool and shrewd just now. β
Su Mingxi coughed, and said with a smile on his face: "This is a war horse, now that the border trade is open, it is no less scarce than the domestic war horses in the past, and a horse was not worth a lot of money at that time?" And it can't be bought and sold at all, it has to be concentrated in the hands of the armies of all sides. But now a large number of war horses are pouring in from the north and the west, which is the family of ordinary people, and it is nothing to raise two good horses, so the price naturally falls, twenty taels of silver is enough, I don't believe the girl ask the guy here. β
Ruan Yunsi turned her head to look at the guy, who had already seen Su Mingxi's extraordinary, and knew that if this disturbed other people's plans to pick up girls, her little guy would be finished. So he nodded hurriedly and said: "That's right, that's right, twenty taels of silver is enough......" As he said it, he howled in his heart, Secret Dao Lord, two good war horses, twenty taels of silver, you, you, you...... Did you sell it to me? Twenty taels of silver for a horse, no, fifty taels of silver for a horse, how much do you want......
Ruan Yunsi was still skeptical, but she also knew that she couldn't fight Su Mingxi in this regard, not to mention that she also liked these two tall horses, which were more pleasing to the eye and majestic than the horses in the west. Because he paid for the carriage, he took out fifty taels of silver to Su Mingxi, glared at him and said, "Don't think I don't know that you are bluffing me, such a good war horse can never be worth only twenty taels of silver." If you want the fifty taels of silver, you don't want me to use your horse, if you have too much money, count me as repaying your kindness, so that you can also taste the taste of others who want to repay the favor regardless of it. If it's less, then you lose a point. β
Su Mingxi reluctantly took the silver, and secretly said that she still couldn't hide it, and there was a thorn in her words, but fortunately, she was a woman after all, and she didn't know the market here, hehe...... Hehehe......" was secretly proud of the "confrontation" between herself and Ruan Yunsi in her heart, when she walked to the two horses that had been put on the wheel, stroked the horses and sighed: "It's a pity that you are such a divine horse, but you want to pull the cart for me, what a sin, that boundless grassland and vast world is the place where you can gallop, but now it is the place where you are going to die, how can it not be sighed?" β
Su Mingxi walked over and said with a smile: "If the girls really pity them, please take good care of them." In fact, compared to doing nothing in my stable, maybe pulling the girl's carriage to shuttle through the fields may not be a good thing, or being idle can let Nan Ge'er also learn to ride a horse, and then ride out every day for a walk, the countryside is big, and now I am not afraid of stepping on the seedlings, but it is better than in my house. β
Ruan Yunsi nodded and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will take good care of the two of them." β
Su Mingxi looked at her solemn expression, and his heart suddenly jumped, and secretly said Su Mingxi, Su Mingxi, you are not as good as two horses, they can still be taken care of by the beautiful woman, what about you? You can't even send more things if you want to, alas? You're really miserable.
was feeling sorry for himself, so he heard Zhong Xiu clapping his hands and said: "It's set up, sister, let's hurry up and buy a loom, and after buying it, put it in the carriage and go back to the village, hehehe, in the past, my sister's carriage was pulled by one horse, and now our own carriage has two horses, how majestic." β
"Loom?" Su Mingxi's ears easily caught the two keywords, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said enthusiastically: "Does the girl still want to buy a loom?" β
Ruan Yunsi shook his head and said: "It's not an ordinary loom, it's a high-end loom, also called a jacquard machine, for brocade, but it's a pity that there is no one here, I don't know if I have to go to Jiangnan to buy it." β
"Jacquard machine? Brocade? Su Mingxi was really surprised at this time, looked at Ruan Yunsi in disbelief, and said in a deep voice: "The girl can still weave brocade?" This is many times more difficult than dyeing cloth. Hmm, let me think about it, it seems that high-end jacquard machines are now only available in Jiangnan Weaving and Guiyun Weaving and Dyeing Factory. Other brocade ordinary jacquard machine, well, generally larger weaving and dyeing factories have, but we still call the loom, can be called a jacquard machine is a high-end thing, I heard that it is very complicated, although the woven fabric is gorgeous, but it is as difficult as the sky, most of them need several people to work together to complete, girl, you ...... Can you do it? β
Ruan Yunsi nodded and said, "No diamond is not porcelain." In this way, I'm afraid it's really impossible to buy it on the market, so I'll ask the Su family to help me enter from Jiangnan. β
As soon as Su Mingxi heard Ruan Yunsi mention the Su family, he remembered the beautiful and gentle Su Liuyun, and his heart suddenly surged with blood and blood, and he sneered: "It's not that I'm crazy, the ordinary jacquard loom is just that, but this high-end jacquard machine, even if Su Liuyun has more money and more ways, he can't even think of buying it." β
Ruan Yunsi's eyes widened, and she lost her voice: "You can't buy it even if you have money?" Is this something that is controlled by the military? Oops, that's terrible. β
Su Mingxi said with a smile: "What kind of military control is the jacquard machine?" It's not a weapon. It's just that the cost of this thing is very high, and the technical requirements are also very high, so it is easy for anyone to dare not buy it. Second, Jiangnan weaving still relies on this monopoly of the highest-grade brocade market, the reason why Guiyun can get a piece of the pie is because of their relationship with the imperial court, and it is the palace worship, even so, they can only produce one or two thousand tribute brocade every year, and the tribute palace is not enough, where can it be sold to the people? So you see, in the major cloth houses, there is no such high-grade brocade for sale......"
Ruan Yunsi knew in her heart that Su Mingxi was waking herself up in secret, even if she could use a jacquard machine to weave brocade, she could only pay tribute to the palace, and she should not sell it among the people. That's it, the key is that you can't buy a jacquard machine, it's all in vain, dozens of the highest grade two-color brocade in your head, colorful brocade, colorful brocade, etc., etc., but all of them are done on the basis of the jacquard machine, and now without this, what grand cause is over, how much money can you make by dyeing cloth and weaving ordinary brocade?
In fact, this is really because Ruan Yunsi's heart is too high, you know, ordinary brocade, as long as you can study a few more patterns, it will also be a source of wealth for her and the flowing brocade cloth village, but she wants to hit the idea on those highest-grade brocades, ordinary brocade is still disdainful, isn't this a high heart?
