Chapter 7: Where is the Intention?
The weather outside was exceptionally sunny, and Li Yan, who had just come out of the gloomy and dark cell, had to cover his eyes, slowly adapting to the bright light, and feeling the warmth.
This scene is like just coming from hell to heaven, watching the people coming and going on Yong'an Street, everyone is happily walking slowly and leisurely on the street, the shops along the street are wide open, business is booming, not far from the Qiubo Pavilion, several brightly dressed, luxuriously dressed young boys compete to write couplets, perform their own proud, so happy.
I don't have much time, if someone with a heart finds out, then everything is over, thinking of this, Li Yan's heart tightened, and he quickened his pace and came to the horse station, ready to pick a good horse to go on the road.
The horse station is a place that specializes in selling, receiving, watching, and feeding horses, and it is also an excellent place to pick good horses.
There is only this horse station in Longcheng, covering an area of 1,000 acres, divided into storefronts, front halls, and backyards. The store sells some horse equipment such as saddles, shoes, whips, etc.; The front hall will meet guests for guests to rest and drink tea; The backyard is the place where the horses are raised, there are those who lead the horses to inquire about the price, there are those who push the cart to deal with the dead horses, and there are those who come to buy good horses.
"Guest officer, come to buy a horse? Please, please, our horse station is first-class, what kind of horse do you need, hey, we have what kind of horse, you are satisfied. ”
If it were normal, he would definitely take a turn here and pick it well, but today's situation is special: "Call your Ma Yong shopkeeper, I will personally ask him for advice." ”
"Well, wait a minute, I'll go and ask our shopkeeper," the young man knew that the person who could call the shopkeeper must be a big man and couldn't afford to be lazy.
So in an instant, a man of about forty who was wearing a silk thick shirt, squinting at his flesh bubble eyes, and had a fat figure, came over with a smile like Maitreya Buddha: "Yo, it turned out to be Lord Li, I am so idle today, I want to buy a horse, our store is really honored, and the junior is on the tea quickly." ”
Li Yan pulled the corners of his mouth and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not okay today, I have to go out on a business trip, I'm in a hurry, I must come to the door another day to chat with the shopkeeper for hundreds of days and nights, how about it?" When Ma Yong heard this, he said happily: "Then dare to be kind, the little one will take you to see the horse first." With that, he led Li Yan to the backyard.
As soon as you enter the backyard, the first thing that catches your eye is all kinds of horses, some are as warm as a small jasper, some are manic like a big man in the north, some are as quiet as old Europe, and some are energetic.
Ma Yong expected that Li Yan would never stop for these horses, so he didn't introduce them anymore, and led him to go deeper, and after a while, he came to a deep long road, only to see Ma Yong clapping his palms, and the wax lights on both sides lit up, Li Yan saw it clearly, and was not surprised: "It turns out that Boss Ma loves to hide his secrets so much, and the good horses are all well provided by you."
When Ma Yong heard this, he seemed to be very useful, there was only one slit left between the two naked eyes, and his thick lips were long and wide, showing a smug expression: "Master Li, pick whatever you want, how about it, I didn't disappoint you."
Li Yan didn't say any more polite words, his eyes were bright, and his hands gently stroked his mane with some tentativeness, not to mention how happy he was, but this scene made him vigilant: I'm just a prison warden, why would he let me see this, doesn't this expose his strength and not simplicity?
