The beauty is charming and strong, and the cold Buddhist son is deified

Chapter 58: One after another
Early the next morning, Song Qingwan loaded the finished horseshoes onto the hired carriage and sent them to the Red Escort Agency together with Lao Tietou and Hu Jin.

When Song Qingwan arrived, she saw that the masters from last night were already waiting at the door with tools for trimming horse hooves, and there were many curious people watching around.

Surprisingly, Zhang Zhiyi was also present, but he was no longer wearing an official uniform, but a flowing blue nobleman's robe in the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

"Don't you have to be on duty?" It's so enviable that a high-ranking official has more free time than a small boss like her.

Seeing Song Qingwan's confidence, Zhang Zhiyi couldn't help but feel happy and expectant. "It's about whether I'll be sold out, so I have to show my nervousness."

If Song Qingwan fails, she will lose 20,000 taels of silver. Not to mention that she has such a large sum of money, but she will also feel heartbroken. Miss Song must strive for success.

Seeing Zhang Zhiyi's painful expression, Song Qingwan burst out laughing. Does this young master also like this yellow and white thing?

But I also know his special intentions. He is here to support me. He is such a good man.

"I'll do the work, don't worry, just go in."

After everyone gathered, they were immediately led in by the receptionist at the door of the Red Escort Agency. Then, they saw the head of the Hong family wiping the sweat from his forehead with one hand, rushing over to greet them.

"Miss Song, Lord Zhang is here too. Please come in and have a cup of tea in the main hall first. Everything will be arranged later and we can start."

It is actually not easy to dispatch a hundred horses at the same time, mainly because horses do not understand human nature, especially horses that are not feeling well, which will become very irritable.

Boss Hong and his escorts had been tinkering with it since before dawn, and only just now did they figure it out.

"Now that the horses have been arranged, let's get to work. Time waits for no one. It won't be too late to have tea after we're done."

The tea after completing the task must be more fragrant and pleasant. Song Qingwan can't wait to get started.

Mr. Hong glanced at Zhang Zhiyi and seeing that he had no objection, he agreed and then led everyone to the backyard.

The venue here is wider, but with a hundred horses gathered together, the scene is still very spectacular, but the horses are not arranged neatly.

Instead, they were tied together and managed by people. Some of the horses were eating grass, some were rolling on the ground to scratch themselves, some were lying down to rest, and some were even fighting. It was a chaotic scene, like untamed wild horses.

The quality of these horses was relatively poor. After all, most of them were the bad ones left over by the imperial court, and it was difficult to tame them.

The main reason is that horses are expensive. Even experienced horse trainers are reluctant to use harsh methods for fear of causing accidents to the horses and causing losses to the owners. Naturally trained horses are usually hot-tempered, lazy and not very obedient.

Mr. Hong felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Miss Song, look." He also realized belatedly that this kind of rough work was not suitable for a little girl like Song Qingwan.

He didn't know whether Lord Zhang would have any objection, but the agreement had already been signed and there was nothing he could do. He could only prepare the silver note for 10,000 taels early.

He also hoped that Song Qingwan could make a miracle happen, handle the horses properly, and allow their escort company to leave Beijing on time and send the horses to the warm place in the south of the Yangtze River to spend the winter. This would reduce the loss of horses while also making money.

"Leave it to us." It's just horse training. Although Canary can't act too amazing in front of outsiders, she is still here.

"Squeak, cooperate with me. Use your eloquence to coax them."

"Got it. Zhizhi, do your job. Wanwan, don't worry." After the communication between the man and the bird was completed, Song Qingwan walked towards a nearby horse. The horse saw her, a skinny human approaching, and immediately puffed air at her, shaking its head in provocation.

"Miss Song, be careful." However, the rest of Mr. Hong's words were stuck in his throat.

Song Qingwan pressed her fair and slender hand on the horse's head, but no matter how the horse tried to shake off her hand, its head seemed to be fixed and could not move.

A little gray bird was jumping on Song Qingwan's arm, chirping non-stop, as if it was laughing at the wild horse with glee.

What was surprising in the end was that the wild horse suddenly fell to the ground with a plop and stretched out its front hooves obediently in a humane manner.

This? Was it a spell? It was too weird! Everyone who saw this scene for the first time was stunned with astonishment.

Lao Tietou and the other masters were used to it. After seeing Song Qingwan calm the horses, they immediately started to repair the horses' hooves.

"Young lady, I'll leave the horse training to you, and I'll take care of the rough work. The master said that we have already trained them, and we must not let you do it yourself again."

Before starting the work, the leading master gave Song Qingwan some instructions, and then the four masters each trimmed a horseshoe, looking very easy.

"Yes, just leave it to us." Lao Tietou was responsible for putting on the horseshoe and hammering in the nails, while Hu Jin added fire to the charcoal stove to make sure the horseshoe was heated.

Zhang Zhiyi raised his eyebrows. Was there another hidden master who was also helping Miss Song?
Seeing that the group of people were busy turning away in tacit cooperation, Song Qingwan naturally did not refute. Then she would be responsible for taming the horses.

For a moment, everyone could only hear the sounds of swish, hiss, and nailing. While they were still curious and had not yet had time to be frightened, in less than half a quarter of an hour, a pair of horseshoes was put on.

The wild horse with the iron hooves stood up again, jumping around happily, happy and proud, and its whole spirit became lively in an instant.

It can be said that a horse that was originally worth only seventy or eighty taels of silver suddenly became a horse worth one thousand taels after being fitted with horseshoes worth one hundred taels.

Mr. Hong felt that the ten thousand taels he spent were totally worth it!

Just when Mr. Hong was delighted, Zhang Zhiyi suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Hong, are your horses always so irritable?"

Mr. Hong was thinking, wondering what the other party meant. But he did not hide it, "No, it's probably because the scene today was too big, and the horse's legs hurt, so it felt uneasy and a little agitated."

Zhang Zhiyi chuckled and said, "Master Hong, why don't you go and take a look at the fodder? If I'm not mistaken, there should be manic drugs in it."

It's just that the other party didn't dare to do it too obviously, and the amount was not large, so the horse didn't go crazy. But if you want to trim the horseshoe, you will definitely be kicked or even trampled.

Little did they know that it was really bad luck for the other party to meet Song Qingwan as their opponent. Who would have thought that a little girl like her could be an expert horse trainer?
It can be said that strength can defeat skill. Even the violent horse became obedient under Song Qingwan's magical power. Of course, maybe it was also because of the little gray bird.

A playful smile flashed in Zhang Zhiyi's eyes. This Miss Song always brings surprises and unexpected things to others.

Mr. Hong was shocked for a moment. Could he not have thought that someone would interfere? Of course not. He had clearly taken all-round precautions against the horses and the entire escort agency, but someone still took advantage of the loophole.
