Chapter 61: Buying a Horse
After bidding farewell to the shopkeeper, Lu Yanqing rode a horse and drove Mo Wanyan and the two towards the horse market.
Fortunately, Mo Wanyan and the two of them are slender, otherwise this thin horse would not be able to sit for the three of them at all.
"What's your name, girl?"
On the way, Lu Yanqing asked the maid behind Mo Wanyan.
"Back to my lord, the slave's name is Li Sisi, if you don't dislike it, just call me Xiao Si."
Li Sisi responded excitedly when she heard this, obviously this girl was still immersed in the joy of being redeemed from Yunni Tower.
"How old are you?"
"Sixteen."
"Where's your hometown?"
Lu Yanqing continued to ask, but Li Sisi couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and his expression suddenly darkened a little.
"Xiao Si, why don't you speak?"
Lu Yanqing, who didn't hear a reply for half a sound, asked suspiciously.
As soon as the words fell, I heard a sobbing sound suddenly sounding behind me.
"Master, are you going to drive Xiao Si away?"
Li Sisi said with a crying voice, and Mo Wanyan, who was sandwiched between the two, showed a complicated expression.
Lu Yanqing did not deny that he did have the idea of sending Li Sisi back to his hometown, but it was definitely not to drive him away.
From now on, Mo Wanyan will go to live in Yuxi Academy with him, if it is somewhat inconvenient to take Li Sisi with him, sending Li Sisi back to his hometown to reunite with his family is nothing more than the best choice.
After being silent for a while, Lu Yanqing said, "Xiao Si, you are already free, don't you want to go home?" ”
"Home? Old Man Xiaosi has no home anymore. Li Sisi cried.
"Oh, what's going on?"
Li Sisi sniffed and said slowly:
"Sir, my mother died of illness not long after giving birth to me, and my father hanged himself when I was twelve years old because he owed a hundred taels of gambling debts and was unable to repay them; Later, the person who asked for the account came to the door and saw that my father was dead, so he sold me to the Qinglou to try to make up for the loss. ”
"So Xiao Si has no home anymore, please take the master in me, I will definitely serve the master and Mrs. well in the future."
Li Sisi cried and pleaded with Lu Yanqing, which made Mo Wanyan couldn't help but be moved, and couldn't help but help Li Sisi intercede:
"Lu Lang, although I shouldn't say this, I still want to ask Lu Lang to stay and think about it."
As he spoke, Mo Wanyan subconsciously hugged Lu Yanqing's waist tightly.
If Lu Yanqing was unwilling to take in Li Sisi, then Li Sisi's fate would be unimaginable.
"In that case, then you can stay."
Lu Yanqing nodded and agreed, he didn't mean to drive Li Sisi away, not to mention that Li Sisi was homeless and had no means to gain a foothold, so it was not bad to keep him by his side.
"Thank you, sir!"
Li Sisi thanked excitedly, if it weren't for the horse, Li Sisi would definitely have knelt in front of Lu Yanqing at this moment.
After a short time, the three of them came to the horse market, and Lu Yanqing came to return the horse.
This horse was not bought by Lu Yanqing, but rented at the horse market.
When the owner of the horse shop saw Lu Yanqing leading the horse coming, he was furious and scolded Lu Yanqing for a while.
After all, Lu Yanqing only paid for two days when he borrowed the horse, although Lu Yanqing paid a deposit, but compared to the price of a horse, the deposit was simply a drizzle; If the owner of the horse shop hadn't seen that Lu Yanqing was the county magistrate, he would definitely not have lent the horses to Lu Yanqing.
But Lu Yanqing has not heard from him for seven consecutive days, and if Lu Yanqing does not appear again, the owner of the horse shop will plan to report to the official.
Lu Yanqing was scolded by the owner of the horse shop without a temper, so he had to bow his head and admit his mistake, until Lu Yanqing said that he didn't want a deposit, the look of the owner of the horse shop eased, and Mo Wanyan on the side couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker.
"Why don't you leave?"
Seeing that Lu Yanqing was still looking around in front of his horse shop, the owner of the horse shop said with a displeased face.
Lu Yanqing didn't care about anything, but asked, "Boss, which is the best horse you have here?" ”
The owner of the horse shop couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "What? Do you still want to borrow my town shop BMW? I'm telling you it's impossible! Stay where it's cool. ”
Saying that, the owner of the horse shop shook his hand at Lu Yanqing with disgust, wanting to drive Lu Yanqing away, so as not to affect Lu Yanqing's business.
"Boss, I want to buy a horse."
Lu Yanqing stood where he was and did not leave, but expressed his intention.
"What! Buying a horse? Can you afford it? ”
The boss looked up and down a lot of Lu Yanqing with a look of disdain, although Lu Yanqing's outfit was changed, but it was not a good brocade, just a small catch and still want to buy a horse? It's a dream!
But I have to say that the two female companions not far behind Lu Yanqing can be described as beautiful and fragrant, and the boss just glanced at it twice, and couldn't help but blush, but after being glared at by his wife, he hurriedly looked away.
Lu Yanqing was too lazy to talk nonsense with this boss, only to see that Lu Yanqing immediately took out a bulging money bag from his sleeve pocket.
"Boss, there are sixty taels of silver in this bag, enough to buy a horse, right?"
"This ...... Really? ”
Looking at the money bag in Lu Yanqing's hand, the owner of the horse shop was a little incredulous.
When Lu Yanqing heard this, he directly threw the money bag to the owner of the horse shop, and said indifferently: "You can count them." ”
The owner of the horse shop subconsciously took it behind him, and then shouted angrily at his wife not far away, beckoning her to help him count the money, it seems that the owner of the horse shop can only be tough in front of his wife at this time.
After a while, the owner of the horse shop counted the money, exactly sixty taels of silver, which made the owner of the horse shop change his attitude instantly: "This little brother please, sixty taels of silver is just enough to buy the horse of our town store, you come in and have a look." ”
The horse of the town shop that the owner of the horse shop said was a red-maned horse, and his appearance and physique were indeed very good, so Lu Yanqing bought it directly.
Subsequently, Lu Yanqing gave the owner of the horse shop ten taels of silver to equip the carriage, so that the three of them did not have to squeeze on the horse.
When the time came to noon, Lu Yanqing took Mo Wanyan and the two to the nearest restaurant for dinner, and after eating and resting for a while, the three of them drove the carriage towards Yuxi Academy.
……
"The gentleman said: You can't learn. Green, taken from blue, and green from blue; Ice, water for it, and cold for water......"
"Ancient scholars must have teachers. Teacher, so preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts is also ......"
The Imperial City of Dachu, in the Scarlet Palace.
A young woman dressed in a gorgeous costume and beautiful appearance was sitting under the eaves in a dignified manner, holding two pieces of paper and chanting softly.
After half a ring, the woman raised her head and asked the little girl who was eating snacks opposite, "Are these two articles written by your new Mr. Shiwen?" ”
The little girl nodded innocently, "That's right, Sister Qiongxi, what do you think of these two articles?" ”
The young woman groaned for a while when she heard this, and replied softly: "It's enough to go down in history." ”
"Mm-hmm, I think so too." The little girl agreed with the cake before she could swallow the pastry in her mouth, and it was obvious that she had great respect for Mr. Shiwen.
At this moment, a forbidden soldier dressed in armor suddenly walked over, knelt down on one knee and bowed to the young woman, "Eldest princess, the source of those poems has been found. ”
"Where?" The young woman was shocked, and hurriedly asked.
"Back to the eldest princess, those poems are all from the Yunni Building in Yongan County, who did it can be found out tomorrow!"
