Chapter 19 Speculating on People's Hearts

At noon, the southeast of Wanjia Town Market, the Beast Market. Zhang Fan took Xue'er to the beast market and found that the beast market was thousands of kilometers around, with tens of thousands of beasts, and the beast owners and customers were talking loudly and lively. The beast market is composed of three parts, the east of the beast market is the place where the beast stays and the buyer and seller trade, the northwest of the beast market is the place where the guests rest and chat, and the southwest of the beast market is the place where the chariots and horses are placed.

Zhang Fan and the two went directly to the horse market in the east of the beast market, and found that there were thousands of horses in several rows from west to east, and hundreds of horses were neatly arranged in each row, and the horses were guarded by the beast owner. He looked around the horse market, looked at thousands of horses, and finally walked to a place where two horses, one black and one white, were tethered.

The owner of the two horses, one black and one white, was an old man who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, dressed in coarse gray cloth, and he was accompanied by a boy in his teens in a blue coat. The old man, who was drowsy from the sun, suddenly noticed a young man in white with a black sword on his back and a beautiful girl in a green dress walking towards him, so he quickly stood up, walked forward, and called: "Two young men, come and have a look! I have two good horses here for you, old man." ”

Then, the boy in Tsing Yi beside the old man blushed and shouted with all his strength: "Big brother, big sister, my horse is the most well-behaved! ”

At this time, a middle-aged man in a blue robe next to the old man also saw Zhang Fan and the two, and found that they were gorgeously dressed and were rich lords, so he hurriedly shouted to Zhang Fan and the others: "This son, come and see my horse." My yellow horse is beautifully born and is the best fit for you. ”

When the middle-aged man shouted, a middle-aged fat man in a blue robe beside him also noticed Zhang Fan. The middle-aged fat man is a horse merchant with rich experience, as soon as he saw Zhang Fan and the two, he felt that they were rich and noble sons who came to send gold, and said with a smile: "This son, I have dozens of good horses here, all kinds, you come to me first to see, there must be a good horse that satisfies you." ”

When the surrounding horse owners heard this, they also swarmed around Zhang Fan and the others, and asked the two of them to go and see their horses first. Zhang Fan was annoyed by the shouting of the horse owners, and found that there were more horses on the fat man's side, so he said loudly: "Thank you, I'll take a look for myself first, I will definitely consider your horses when I have time." With that, he took Cher and walked towards the fat man's horse.

The fat man knew that this young man was the master who could afford a high price, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled a beautiful three-grade yellow horse and said to Zhang Fan: "Childe, look at my yellow horse, with strong bones, and a yellow hair as dazzling as gold." Childe rides it, it's really called a BMW with a handsome talent. The price of this horse is cheap, only 300 taels of silver. ”

Zhang Fan took a closer look at the Sanpin Yellow Horse and found that although the yellow horse had smooth and beautiful fur, it had petite hooves, and it was obviously a delicate horse that could not do heavy goods, so he smiled and said: "Big brother, your horse is too squeamish, I'll take a look at the others." ”

The fat man was stunned when he heard this, and thought: "It turns out that this noble boy dislikes yellow horsepower and has little experience, so I'll show him an old horse." He smiled and said, "Well, since you like yellow horses, come and see this blood-red horse." This blood-red horse is a descendant of Maxima-Khan Blood, with a docile temper, can bear a thousand catties, and has rich experience, only 400 taels of silver. As he spoke, he led Zhang Fan and the two to a blood-red horse that looked old.

When Zhang Fan heard this, he carefully looked at the dark red horse, opened the horse's mouth and looked at it, and found that although this horse had some strength and rich experience, it was obviously an old horse that was about to die, and it was useless to buy it. He shook his head and said, "Boss, your horse is too old for me." ”

When the fat man heard this, he thought to himself: "This young man has some experience, and it seems that it will be difficult for me to fool him with a bad horse today." So he said to Zhang Fan again: "Childe, since you don't like those two good horses, then come and see this horse, it will definitely satisfy you." This horse is a fine horse that I have carefully selected from a horse farm, and you can take it for 800 taels of silver for me. He chattered as he led Zhang Fan to a third-grade gray horse.

Zhang Fan looked again and found that the fat man actually introduced him to a sick horse, and he was angry that the fat man played him as a fool, so he immediately refused: "Boss, these horses of yours are not suitable for me, I'd better go and see elsewhere." As he spoke, he took Cher away.

When the fat man heard this, his face was full of horror, and he thought, "This young man is too shrewd, not like an ordinary rich man." He was about to take the boy again to see the other horses, but the young man in white left without looking back.

Then Zhang Fan looked at the horses of several horse owners and found that their horses were very ordinary, more or less problematic, so he was ready to go and see the two horses, one black and one white.

"Little boy, I said that my yellow husd is the most suitable for you, you should come and take a look. Zhang Fan was just about to leave when the middle-aged man's voice suddenly came.

Zhang Fan looked at several inferior horses one after another, and suddenly heard the voice of the middle-aged man, and with the intention of taking a casual look, he took Xue'er to the middle-aged man's side.

The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Childe, look at this yellow horse born strong, smooth fur, great strength, and bright eyes, it is definitely the best choice for Childe." My horse is very cheap, as long as you 350 taels. ”

Zhang Fan was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: "This yellow horse is indeed much better than the horses I have seen before, and it only costs 350 taels, which is not bad." He hurriedly looked at the yellow horse carefully, and found that the yellow horse was a little unworthy of the name, and the fat was actually born in a short time, and the yellow horse's bones were too small, and the load capacity was not large, so he didn't want this horse very much.

"Ahh

Zhang Fan, who was looking at the yellow hussar, was awakened by this cry of pain, and when he looked back, he found that the middle-aged man who was standing behind the yellow hussay was holding his stomach and snorting, obviously being kicked in the stomach by the horse's hooves.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan stopped looking at the yellow horse, and said to the man with a painful face: "Big brother, your horse is too short-tempered, and he will sneak attack the master, we don't want it." After he finished speaking, he walked to the old man who first shouted Zhang Fan.

Before Zhang Fan walked to the old man's side, the teenage boy ran over and said coquettishly: "Big brother, big sister, my horse is the best, come and see." ”

When Xue'er heard this, she smiled and said, "Little sister, don't worry, let's go and see your horses." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Fan thought: "It turns out that this little boy turned out to be a little girl, I looked away before." However, he did not delve into this issue, but walked over to the two second-grade horses, one black and one white, and looked at them.

When the old man saw that the noble young master had finally come to see his horses, the worries in his heart were relieved. He found that Zhang Fan was looking at the horses, and he didn't say much, just waited quietly on the side.

Zhang Fan spent a long time looking at the two horses, and found that the two horses, one black and one white, were younger, although their fur was a little rough, their bones were thick and strong, their eyes were bright, and the horses' hooves had been nailed to the horseshoe, and they had obviously done heavy work. He was satisfied with this two-grade horse that was seven or eight meters tall, and then turned to the old man and said, "Boss, your two horses are not bad, but they are a little thin and a little young." ”

When the old man heard this, he knew that the little boy was still quite satisfied with his horse this time, and said with a smile: "Little boy, my horse is indeed a little smaller, and it is a little poorly fed, and now it is just a second-grade brute." However, they are carefully ** good since I was a child, not only under the field, but also pulled the cart, once carrying 10,000 catties of grain can still gallop in the field, maybe in the future can surpass ordinary horses, grow into a four-grade brute beast, a good horse. ”

Zhang Fan smiled: "Boss, since your horse is so good, why did you sell him?"

When the teenage boy next to him heard this, he seemed to remember something sad, and choked up: "I can't bear Xiaohei and Xiaobai, it's just"

When the old man heard this, he quickly interrupted the little boy's words and said, "Niu'er, don't talk nonsense. Then he turned to Zhang Fan and said, "Childe, that's the case." I don't just have one horse in my family. These two ponies are cubs under the old horse, and the family has only a little land, and it is useless to raise more horses, so I took my little granddaughter to the horse market and sold them for some silver. ”

When Zhang Fan heard this, he smiled and said, "So that's the case." ”

When Xue'er heard the old man's words, she interjected: "Childe, let's hurry up and buy Xiaohei and Xiaobai." ”

Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's talk slowly." Then he asked the old man, "Uncle, how much do we want for your two horses?"

When the old man heard this, his face showed a little flush, and he said with a smile: "Since the little boy likes those two horses, he only needs to pay the old man six hundred and sixty taels of silver." ”

When Zhang Fan heard this, he smiled and said, "Uncle, these horses are all second-grade ponies, 660 taels are a bit expensive, right?"

Xue'er, who stayed on the side, interjected again: "Childe, I like that little white horse so much." Buy it. ”

When the old man heard this, he was a little embarrassed, and said, "Childe, the price is indeed a little higher, but the horses are all good horses, and one black and one white is just right for you." I don't bite the price of the old man, you give the old man 636 taels. ”

Zhang Fan saw that the old man didn't want to reduce the price, and he was not short of money, so he finally said: "Uncle, the price you called is a bit high, but for the sake of a celebration, I'll give you 606 taels, what do you think?"

When the old man heard this, he suddenly felt like a spring breeze, and he was very comfortable, and said with a smile: "Okay, then it's up to the son." ”

When Zhang Fan heard this, he took out six hundred taels of silver tickets and six taels of broken silver from his arms and handed them to the old man, saying, "Uncle, this is your money for selling horses." ”

The old man took the silver money with a smile and said to Zhang Fan: "Congratulations to the son and the young lady for getting a good horse." I'll go and bring you horses now. As he spoke, he came to the horse, and said as he untied the rope, "Little Hei Xiaobai, I have found a good master for the two of you today, so you can follow them well in the future." ”

Then Zhang Fan and the two got on the horses and said goodbye to the old man and left. Zhang Fan and Xue'er rode out of the beast market on horseback and walked towards the avenue. Xue'er was happy when she first got a good horse, and said to Zhang Fan in a coquettish voice: "Childe, I like Xiaobai so much, can you name him?" Zhang Fan smiled when he heard this: "Why not, your white horse will be called Bai Xue in the future, and my black horse will be called Hei Feng, how about it?" Xue'er smiled and said, "Okay." Then Zhang Fan and the two rode to the market to buy some daily necessities such as rice and salt, and then laughed all the way home.
