Zhang Xiaohua held a long sword in her hand, crossed her hands in front of her, and looked up at the many white clouds floating in the sky, not knowing what to think.

Ji Xiaohua took the bun and walked into the hut happily.

"Mother, see what I brought you back?"

As soon as she stepped into the hut, Ji Xiaohua shouted.

"Xiaohua, why did you come back so early?" Ji Xiaohua's mother asked strangely, ignoring his question.

"Mother, I met a young master in the tea shed, he said let me take him to do something, and said that he would give me ten big money a day, oh, it's eleven big money, look, this is still the bun he invited me to eat, and let me bring you two drawers back. ”

"What? Who told you to run out of the tea shed so easily? That's what I asked Daddy Hao on the street to find for you, it's not easy. ”

"This, mother, I know, but ......"

"It's nothing, you are so bold, everyone dares to believe it, others are going to deceive you, how can you let your mother live?"

"Mother, this young master is really good, and ...... Moreover, the shopkeeper of the tea shed no longer let me go. ”

"Alas, you, Xiaohua, why don't you let your mother worry. ”

After speaking, struggling to get up from the bed, Ji Xiaohua hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said, "Mother, you rest, I'll feed you buns." ”

Ji Xiaohua's mother smiled bitterly and said, "You, Xiaohua, why can't you grow big." ”

"What's wrong? Mother" Ji Xiaohua was very puzzled.

Ji Xiaohua's mother looked at her son, who was just nine years old, knowing that he was still very naïve, and explained: "People are young masters from big families, they all come to our house and give us something to eat, how can we meet each other, xiexie people, and ......"

After a pause, he continued: "It's a stranger after all, my mother will also see it, don't let people deceive you." ”

Ji Xiaohua nodded sensibly, helped her mother take her coat and shoes, and helped her mother out of the house.

When Zhang Xiaohua saw someone coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to give a gift, but the woman preemptively gave a salute and said, "This young master, the cheap concubine Zhang has given a gift to the young master." ”

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Auntie, you're welcome, you're not in good health, so let's rest in the house." ”

Zhang is in his thirties, but his hair is already gray, at first glance, he is older than Guo Sufei in previous years, no wonder Zhang Xiaohua called him aunt as soon as he came up, he actually didn't know what to call it for a while.

Zhang smiled bitterly: "Young master, don't be like this, the concubine can't afford it, just call Zhang." ”

As he spoke, he coughed a few more times.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled: "That's still called Sister-in-law Zhang." ”

Zhang didn't even dare to say it, and then looked at Zhang Xiaohua carefully, and thought to himself: "Well, a good young master, he is very approachable, there is no child's jiashi, looking at the robe, it is the only one in Songning City, and it looks very kind, without a trace of darkness, it is reassuring to look at." ”

Nonsense, this guy is a kind country boy, how can he have the scruples in Zhang's heart?

Zhang coughed for a while and said, "I don't know what the young master wants Xiaohua to do for you?

Zhang Xiaohua listened to the word "Xiaohua", both strange and familiar, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, sister-in-law Zhang, I am a foreigner, I was almost deceived in Ji Xiaohua's tea shed just now, and thanks to Ji Xiaohua's reminder, I think, I may encounter some trouble in this Songning Town alone, so I temporarily want to find a local to lead the way, help cut the price, don't let people deceive me, I see that Ji Xiaohua is very clever, and I want him to help me, but he was also dismissed by the tea shopkeeper, you can rest assured, I will compensate him." ”

Zhang Xiaohua took a bite of Ji Xiaohua, and he couldn't say the word "Xiaohua" no matter what.

When Zhang heard this, a stone fell to the ground, and he coughed and said: "Since this is the case, let Xiaohua talk to the young master for a few days, but don't talk about compensation, since you help the young master, then you can only take the young master's share of the money, this Xiaohua should understand." ”

Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and said: "It's okay, sister-in-law Zhang, in fact, it's just to help me buy a horse and inquire about a little thing, it won't take a few days, it is estimated that it will be haode in half a day." ”

Zhang's expression remained unchanged, and Ji Xiaohua next to him was greatly disappointed, he still wanted to earn a few more money, this day, but it was only eleven yuan.

Zhang turned back to Ji Xiaohua and said, "Xiaohua, go and follow the young master, be more attentive, don't let people be deceived, go and come back quickly." ”

Ji Xiaohua nodded and stood beside Zhang Xiaohua.

After Zhang Xiaohua gave the Zhang family a salute, she walked out of the courtyard with Ji Xiaohua.

When she walked out of the small courtyard, Ji Xiaohua deliberately turned around and shouted: "Mother, that steamed bun is good to eat while it is hot, by the way, eat a vegetable bun first, and then eat meat buns." ”

Zhang coughed, smiled and nodded, but where did his footsteps fall by half an inch?

Out of Ji Xiaohua's house, the first thing Zhang Xiaohua did was to ask him to take himself to the ready-to-wear shop, buy a set of very ordinary clothes, and wear them outside, that is, anyone who wears very peculiar clothes, there are people staring at him wherever he goes, and he will find ordinary clothes to replace as soon as possible.

However, Zhang Xiaohua was already cold and hot, and the black robe was obviously a good thing, so he was willing to take it off, but he just wore it inside.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles.

Zhang Xiaohua put on ordinary clothes, and immediately became much more ordinary, and there was no longer that kind of young master's taste, Ji Xiaohua praised beside her: "Young master, you are really amazing, this change of clothes, no matter how you look at it, you look like an ordinary person, not a young master." ”

Zhang Xiaohua pursed her lips and said secretly: "It's not nonsense, it's not like, it's just an ordinary person, where did you come from." ”

After changing clothes, the effect was obvious, and on the street, no one looked at these two ordinary young people who were a little scumbag.

Even when Zhang Xiaohua and the others came to the mule and horse market to choose horses, no one cared about them.

Fortunately, Ji Xiaohua is a local and is very familiar with this place, and after a while, he helped find a store with a good reputation, and the guy has a general attitude towards the two of them, and there is not too much discrimination, which makes Zhang Xiaohua very satisfied, but when choosing horses, it makes the shop guy very dissatisfied.

What about weishenme?

No matter what horses the shop guy recommends, the young man who is tall and looks very inconspicuous is shaking his head, that is, he doesn't even take a step closer, he looks at eight horses in a row, and the shop guy is tired enough, and even Ji Xiaohua, who is standing next to him and is ready to help bargain, is full of doubts.

Zuihou, the shopkeeper quit, and asked, "This brother, are you here to make trouble, or are you here to buy horses?" I have led eight horses, and you just look at them and say no, and you haven't even approached, how do you know that it is not to your liking?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled: "It's not that I can't forget you, but these horses are not suitable, and the horses I want are not ordinary horses." ”

The shopkeeper was surprised and said, "It's not an ordinary sycophant, so what should it look like?"

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua said: "It should be the kind that can carry weights in particular." ”

"Load?" The shopkeeper was stunned and said, "How much does it weigh?"

"Oh, three or four thousand pounds. ”

"What? Three or four thousand catties, not three or four hundred catties?" the shopkeeper said incredulously, "You're not wrong, are you?" ”

Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's a thousand catties, not a hundred catties." ”

The shopkeeper shook his head like a rattle and said, "It's impossible, I've never heard of a horse that can drag three or four thousand pounds of things, you want a cow, oh no, the legendary camel." ”

Ji Xiaohua, who was standing next to her, understood a little at this time, and looked thoughtfully at the long sword in Zhang Xiaohua's hand.

The shopkeeper only thought that Zhang Xiaohua was scolding him, and he was no longer concerned, so he was about to greet other guests, Ji Xiaohua hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Big brother, don't get me wrong, my young master has some special requirements, or he won't find you in this store, right, do you see if your shopkeeper is there? Maybe he has some ideas?"

Ji Xiaohua is not very old, in the eyes of the shop guys, it is clear that she is a clever scholar, she groaned slightly, and then entered the back room, and after a while, a tall and strong man with a big waist and a round waist came out of it, frowned, looked up and down at Zhang Xiaohua, who was very inconspicuous in front of her, and asked: "This young master?

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and arched her hand: "That's really troublesome for the shopkeeper, by the way, can you take a look at your most Haode horses here?"

"This ......," the strong man hesitated.

Ji Xiaohua said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, if it is in line with the wishes of my young master, the reward will be indispensable to you." Go get it!"

Zhang Xiaohua listened to it, and also understood the meaning of the shopkeeper, and wanted to take out the silver ticket from the money bag to show the shopkeeper, but he didn't know how much silver the most Haode horse was.

The strong man hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a look, this young master, please, please follow down to the back and take a look." ”

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Ji Xiaohua with satisfaction, and followed the strong man to the back.

After turning a few small aisles, I entered a large courtyard, and when I looked at it, there were dozens of tall horses in this courtyard?

Just when Zhang Xiaohua was overwhelmed, the strong man turned around and said, "Young master, please come with me." ”

After speaking, he took Zhang Xiaohua to a horse shed in the corner of Xiangyang, and saw a tall and beautiful jujube red horse tied to the horse shed.

This horse is obviously not on the same level as the guy in the store just now.
