Ming politicians

The real masters always hide their secrets and will never flaunt their prestige outside. Su Tiancheng believes that the old man in front of him is definitely not simple, and he may have a very unusual life experience.The old man kept saying that he was an old beggar, but the temperament he displayed was completely the posture of a superior.

Needless to say, the old man's skills, two strong men fell in front of the old man in the blink of an eye, this is not something that ordinary people can do, if they face it by themselves, they don't know what will happen.

In the horse market, fish and dragons are mixed together, who knows if the imperial court will send someone to watch here.

The opportunity cannot be missed and will not come again, and the Ming Dynasty has come, and an unusual relationship must be found.

Su Tiancheng took off his bamboo hat and veil, stood up, and saluted the old man.

"The junior is Su Tiancheng, a student from Pingyang Prefecture, whose name is Kunyuan. He is fortunate to be favored by the old man. What the old man said, the junior will naturally follow. The junior has five Mongolian horses, waiting for the old man's arrangement."

The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Tiancheng.

Inside the inn, it was very quiet at the moment, and most of the people were sound asleep.

After a while, the old man spoke again.

"Mr. Su, you are very bold. You were originally a scholar, but you never thought you would come to Xiangling County and trade horses. It's interesting, really interesting. No wonder you are not afraid of anything. Old beggars don't dare to do this. Since you trust the old man Beggars, old beggars are not polite anymore, you wait here, old beggars will come when they go.”

The old man did things simply, stood up, and left directly.

A quarter of an hour later, the old man came in with a person. This person was also wearing a bamboo hat and veil, and he was also a young man because of his figure.

Su Tiancheng had put on the bamboo hat a long time ago. He trusted the old man, but he couldn't guarantee who the old man would bring.

Seeing that Su Tiancheng had already put on a bamboo hat to cover his face, the old man nodded in satisfaction.

"Master Su, this is Qu Qingze, he wants to buy your Mongolian horse."

Su Tiancheng stood up, clasped his fists and saluted.

"Young Master Qu, do you need to take a look at the horse before making a decision?"

Qu Qingze shook his head, took out a brocade bag from his body, and put it on the table.

"Mr. Su, here is 50 taels of gold. Please count it. If there is no error, I will follow Mr. Su to pick up the goods. I should treat Mr. Su to have a drink, but I don't have time. Leaving Xiangling County, if he has a chance in the future, he must treat Mr. Su to drink."

"Young Master Qu is being polite. I am absolutely at ease with the old man's introduction. Please come with me, Young Master Qu."

Seeing Qu Qingze and his party leaving on horses, Su Tiancheng felt a little distressed. In fact, he really wanted to stay with these horses, but it's a pity that he can't do it now, and all troubles and disasters are due to his strength.

The so-called weak foundation, the earth shakes and the mountains shake.

The transactions in the horse market have already left a deep impression on him, and he can only do it when he sees the right time. Now it is not hundreds of years later, and someone may still reason with you.

The old man still didn't leave, he stood aside, Mr. Qu walked away and disappeared, Su Tiancheng took off his bamboo hat and veil.

"Thank you, old man, junior."

"Hehe, no thanks, you pay for what you pay. The old beggar still knows how to repay his kindness. Mr. Su's transaction is completed, and it seems that he is going to go home. If there is a chance in the future, the old beggar will go to the house to beg for food, Mr. Su." Don't give up."

"The old man said that, the junior is very ashamed, it is still early, the junior invites the old man to drink."

"Haha, drinking is the old beggar's favorite, what's wrong with that?"

The old man walked towards the outside of the inn and continued to drink. It must be inappropriate to stay in the inn. At this time, the gate of the inspection department should have opened the city gate, and you can go to the city to find a restaurant to drink.

Su Tiancheng hurriedly waved to Su Ertong who was waiting in the lobby of the inn, signaling to follow him to Xiangling County.

"Singing about wine, life is like dew in the morning. When it goes away, it's bitter. You should be generous and forget your worries. How can you relieve your worries? Only Du Kang..."

The old man actually recited Cao Cao's "Duan Ge Xing" and walked slowly towards the county seat.

After the old man finished reading, he looked at Su Tiancheng who was following him.

"Mr. Su, you are a scholar. The old beggar class has an axe. The old beggar thinks so, so he recited a short song by Prime Minister Cao. Is it okay, Mr. Su, to write a poem to express one's will through drinking wine?" .”

Su Tiancheng's body trembled, and he spoke without thinking.

"Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink pipa, immediately remind me, Lord Mo Xiao is drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times."

"Haha, Wang Han, a poet of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, a native of Taiyuan Prefecture, Mr. Su really has great ambitions, frontier fortress, frontier fortress, now there is no peace."

Su Tiancheng was a little apprehensive. In this era that he was not familiar with, was it a crime to express one's will through songs?

The old man was very familiar with the city of Xiangling, so he brought Su Tiancheng and Su Ertong straight to a restaurant. One must know that there are not many restaurants that open at Chenshi.

Su Ertong didn't enter the private room for life or death. From his point of view, his young master didn't have much money, so he had to save some money, as long as he could save some money.What's more, the eldest wife is too powerful, and the expenses of herself and her parents, including the monthly bills, are all included in the son's monthly 30 taels of silver.

"Mr. Su, the old beggar is very close to you. Thanks to Mr. Master's care, there are a few words that must be said."

Su Tiancheng was about to stand up, but the old man waved his hand, signaling not to stand up.

"The old beggar feels that you are a person with great ambitions and aspirations, and you are even a scholar. This graceful and no-nonsense aura is faintly revealed. At such a young age, you are not surprised when things change, and you are bold and generous. The most important thing is that you judge the situation and know people with your eyes.”

"Today, the old beggar suggested that you go to the horse market, just forget it, and don't mention it to anyone. That boy, the old beggar thinks he is very good, and he is absolutely loyal. This kind of boy is very good." Rare."

Su Tiancheng nodded again and again, although the old man's words did not have much nutrition.

"The old beggar likes to talk a lot. If you have something to say, don't mind my son. Just talk about the matter of going to the horse market today. The old beggar thinks that the son has three places and he did a bad job."

"First of all, if you go to the horse market to trade Jinyi Yupao, you should be suspicious if you put it on anyone. Either it is a rich boy who owed debts abroad and stole the horse from the seller, or it is the source of the horse. It’s not right, it’s all shady anyway, since you’re wearing brocade robes, why do you need to go to the horse market to trade?”

"Secondly, after you enter the horse market, you will lead the horse around without talking about the transaction. You will look around and pay special attention to other people's transactions. This is the biggest taboo. It was not allowed in the first place, and the young master is leading the horse, so I want to think about whether the people from the government have come to investigate."

"Thirdly, if you are not familiar with the situation of horses, you dare to come to the horse market to trade. If someone who is familiar with horses asks a few words, the young master will have nothing to say. If you are not familiar with horses, you will lead the horses to trade. , The courage is indeed not small, besides, the transaction of the horse must be carried out in the open, and who knows what will happen in the dark."

"The old beggar felt that the young master is a great talent, so he couldn't help but say these words."

Su Tiancheng stood up, cupped his fists and saluted the old man.

"The junior thank you for the teaching of the old man, and I will definitely remember it for the rest of my life."

"Hehe, the old beggar likes to talk a lot. There are two more questions. Don't mind me, my lord. First, where do the five Mongolian horses come from? Second, you look haggard. It's obvious that you have worked hard all night. This scholar , I don’t listen to things outside the window, and I only read the books of sages and sages, and I’m going to take the provincial examination next year, so I don’t have the time to pay attention to the matter of horse trading.”

Cold sweat broke out on Su Tiancheng's head. He was unable to answer these two questions for the time being.

"The old beggar didn't want the young master to answer, just ask casually."

The old man looked at Su Tiancheng with a meaningful smile on his face.

"When a man stands in the world, he should be jealous of evil and support justice. Young Master, please remember to do something and not do it."
