Outside the building, two big carts stand outside the door, each car has two mules, the mule shape is large and the tail is long, the mule cart is black and blue, there is a thick cloth covered, there is no scene, a little girl, eleven or twelve years old, sitting at the head of the second car, saw the three people of Gao Pet came out, followed by a group of people, whispered to the car, "Lady, the official came out, and brought a monk and a little lady, so strange." ”

"Nian Xia, don't talk nonsense, you listen to the officials' orders. A soft voice came from the car.

Gao Pet stepped forward to introduce Lu Xihua and Liu Ying'er, and after learning that Liu Ying'er had become Lu Xihua's sister-in-law, he asked Liu Ying'er to take the package and get on the second mule cart.

After leaving everyone in the building, Lu Xihua opened his mouth and said, "General Gao, I live in Tianmu Mountain, forty miles south of the city, and I can reach it today. You also know that life in the mountains is difficult, and I just have a younger sister, so I have to prepare. ”

Gao Zhong wondered in his heart, thinking that Lu Xihua had immortal arts, but his style was strange, he must be an overseas person, not similar to Da Song, nodded and said, "Sir, we are as you are." ”

"I don't know which copper shop is the best in the city? I have a few foreign mirrors that I want to sell to. "Lu Xihua wants to build roads and change the living environment of his brother and sister, so he can only sell some strange things that he brought over.

"Qiaozhen Pavilion is opened by the heavenly family's inner servants, and it is specially designed for the heavenly family to collect strange things from the south to the north. Sir, you can go here and see that the price is fair. Gao Pet thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, General Gao, you go to the south gate and wait for me first, and I'll come when I go." Lu Xihua was about to leave as soon as he gave up.

"Mr. Wang's return quickly, I'll leave early. After Gao Pet finished speaking, he turned over and got into the first car, and the driver drove towards the south gate.

Lu Xihua inquired about the location of Qiaozhen Pavilion, and sure enough, it was opened by the inner chamberlain, and took out the hand-held glass mirror he had bought before. The four mirrors are a set of elongated glass handles that can be held with one hand. Four and a half inches long, two and a half inches wide, the reverse side is inlaid with photos of the beautiful scenery of Canada's spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the front is a 2-inch size of the round mirror.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper in the store was shocked when he saw it, and after discussing with the waiter, a set of four-sided hand-held mirrors offered a price of 20,000 yuan. Lu Xihua didn't care, I don't know whose hands this thing will end up in, think about Yang Zhi's family heirloom knife worth 3,000 yuan, Xu Ning's Yan Lingjia worth 30,000 yuan, Liang Zhongshu's birthday gang worth 100,000 yuan, and the most valuable thing about his mirror is those exotic photos, which are all scenery that people in this era can't think of.

20,000 guan for silver taels also has 12,500 taels, 800 catties, the waiter found someone to carry four large wooden boxes, Lu Xihua waved his hand, put the box into the space, frightened the waiter even fell down, and the store everyone bowed down. Lu Xihua was not easy to explain, so he flashed out of Qiaozhen Pavilion and went straight to the south gate. The chamberlain got up and hurriedly wrote a letter, indicating that there were immortals in Lin'an City, and they were sent to Bianliang with the mirror. The Son of Heaven ascended the throne, retreated from the golden soldiers, and there were immortals who came into the world, which was a great omen for the prosperity of the country.

Without further ado, Lu Xihua turned his head and walked quickly towards the south gate, but saw a crowd in front of him, and there were livestock crying in the middle. Lu Xihua also saw a lively scene, and hurriedly entered, everyone saw his bald head, thinking that he was a monk, Buddhism was popular at that time, and the crowd was respectful, so they gave in.

Lu Xihua squeezed into the circle and saw that it was a horse that had fallen to the ground, weak in his legs, and could not stand up. The owner was beating it hard, but the horse was unable to stand up, so he could only wail.

The master is also pulling goods for people, the horse's legs are weak, and he falls in the middle of the road, occupying the road, and soon there will be officials to come to fine the money, and the old and young in his own family can only be hungry, and he is anxious to beat again and again.

Lu Xihua looked at the tears in the eyes of the white horse, and couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, "Please stop, this horse is weak on its hind legs and can't stand up, and it's useless for you to whip like this." ”

When the owner saw Lu Xihua wearing cloth clothes, he also complained, "I also let my friends know that the family all rely on this horse-drawn goods." There were more goods yesterday, and I looked unstable before. The horses pulled all night, and only this morning they went to the city to unload their goods, but they didn't expect to fall to the ground suddenly on the way back, and they couldn't. If you obstruct the road, you will be punished in a while, but yesterday's hard work was in vain, and I pity my family and the young, and I have to be hungry. ”

Lu Xihua asked, "Your horse has not yet grown up to pull goods, listening to your words, the family is also difficult, presumably the horse is also poorly fed, hungry, how can nothing happen?"

The owner cried and squatted down and touched the horse, "I can't either, this horse is young, only two years old." The family is difficult, people don't eat much, it can only eat some forage, yesterday the road was far away, I was anxious to urge it to go quickly, did not want to hurt it. ”

Lu Xihua thought for a while, "The mule is strong, and your family pulls goods for a living, so it's better to buy a mule." ”

The master said with a sad face, "The old and young in the family have not yet eaten, so how can they have any money left to buy mules." ”

Lu Xihua said, "Sell me this horse." It's also fate with me to give you a good price. ”

When the master heard this, he said, "Don't be amused when your friend speaks seriously." ”

Lu Xihua nodded and touched the bridge of the horse's nose, "You can tell me the price." ”

The owner was anxious, "This horse is too young to sell at a price, so how can I have any money left to buy a mule." ”

Lu Xihua asked everyone, "Everyone do a little favor, do you know how much a healthy mule is worth in this horse market, and how much is this young horse worth?"

The crowd replied, "Forty for ordinary mules, eighty for healthy mules, and sixty for horses." ”

The Song Dynasty lacked horses, what was lacking was a healthy horse that could be ridden and fighting, not a horse that dragged goods and carts, and a healthy mule was worth a lot of money, equivalent to the price of a cow.

Lu Xihua patted his knee, "Okay, I'll give you eighty yuan, you go buy a mule by yourself, and this horse will be sold to me, okay?"

The master looked up at Lu Xihua, and suddenly knelt down and thanked, "The villain thanked the benefactor!

Lu Xihua waved his hand, "I just see that this horse is fateful, besides, it's not good for you to get in the way, and there will be an official messenger coming to you in a while, so you should leave early." And when he had finished speaking, he handed the man fifty taels of silver.

"Okay, I'll go buy mules and go home early." The master unloaded the horse from the wheel, and asked for the cart to be pushed to the side of the road, and hurried to the horse market.

The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed after seeing that the road was smooth, and they all said that Lu Xihua said that he was a good monk, and asked Lu Xihua which temple he was a monk in, so that he could go to incense, and learned that Lu Xihua was not a monk, but after returning from overseas, the bald head just came due to illness, so he laughed and left.

Lu Xihua asked someone to buy some beans and water to feed the horse to eat, and after half a sound, the horse had food in his belly, and then slowly stood up. Lu Xihua took out a towel dipped in water and carefully wiped the horse's body, wiped the horse's face clean with a muslin cloth, hugged the horse's neck, and touched the messy mane on the neck. The horse was affectionate, seemed to know that the owner had changed, and lowered his head and rubbed Lu Xihua's back, causing Lu Xihua to laugh and praise him, good horse, good horse.

Because it was a cart and a horse, there was no saddle, so Lu Xihua took the bridle of the horse behind his back and went to the south gate of the county.
