Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 49
Although these few people endured and endured, they still couldn't help being envious and jealous. The amount they couldn't even imagine, a little girl earned from farming for a year, not only Shunzi, Guifang, and Xiufen A young man, even Wang Erlin is also full of laughter.

Seeing this, Xianglai smiled and said: "Don't look at it, my money comes and goes quickly, so I plan to spend some, go, help me look!"

As she spoke, she pointed to the road for Wang Erlin and Shunzi to drive there.

A few walked around the city, and stopped in front of the Maosheng Grocery Store.

Xianglai jumped out of the car, picked up the silver bag and led a few people into the grocery store, found a clerk and said, "I'm here to buy horses, who of you will show me?"

The last time she came, she was dressed as a boy. Although the guys later found out that she was a woman, they had never seen her in women's clothing after all, so they couldn't recognize her. They just looked at her suspiciously and said, "Which one of our horses is kept?" I don’t know which ones I use and which ones I want to sell, I’m afraid you have to go to the shopkeeper.”

Xianglai was about to ask where the shopkeeper was, but someone behind the counter diagonally opposite said in surprise: "Oh, isn't this Miss Xianglai, you are back again?"

Xianglai looked around in search of reputation, and saw that it was shopkeeper Chen who brought Dachang here to find her that day, so she quickly stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, do you still recognize me?"

Shopkeeper Chen said with a smile: "Girl, don't forget, I have seen you take off your hat before."

It was only then that Xianglai remembered that when he saw him in the courtyard that day, he had indeed taken off his hat.

Shopkeeper Chen said again: "What do you want to order this time, Miss?"

Xianglai said, "I want to buy two horses."

Shopkeeper Chen said: "Okay, follow me."

Then he opened the door and walked to the backyard.

Xianglai knew that the horses and carriages were in the backyard, so she took Shunzi, Wang Erlin, Guifang and Xiufen into the backyard.

Yu Zixi already knew the news that Xianglai would come. At this moment, Qi Xing said that Xianglai had already entered the shop, so he came out of the house in the backyard, and said with a hearty smile, "Why didn't Miss Xianglai come to see me?" ?”

Xianglai was a little embarrassed, and said, "I want to buy the horses before I go to say hello to Brother Yu."

Yu Zixi came closer and said, "Why do you want to buy a horse?"

Xiang Lai said: "Yes, I don't have any livestock, so it's too hard to do farm work, why don't I buy two horses and raise them."

Yu Zixi said: "Well, that's true... By the way, did your rice harvest have a bumper harvest?"

Xiang Lai said: "Yes, this time I'm here to sell rice..."

As he spoke, he gestured to Yu Zixi with the money bag in his hand, and said, "Only when you have money can you dare to come to Brother Yu, otherwise you will have to copy books again!"

Yu Zixi chuckled, and said, "It's easy to talk about buying horses. I'll let shopkeeper Chen pick out two good ones for you later. It's noon now. Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner!"

Xianglai hurriedly said: "No, no, no, how dare brother Yu spend money, we... We have other things, my friend, sister and this uncle have some things to buy, and there is not enough time. We bought the horse and immediately bought it." Walk."

Yu Zixi said: "Why, are you being polite to me?"

Xiang Lai said: "I'm not being polite, it's just that the time is very tight, as you can see, we have so many people here, and there are too many things to do."

Yu Zixi said: "Okay then, do whatever you say..."

While talking, shopkeeper Chen at the stable said: "Boss, the horses have been selected. We have five horses that are not commonly used. These two are better."

Yu Zixi and Xianglai walked towards him and said: "Don't choose from the bad horses, but pick two from the good ones we use. Girls from Xianglai use horses, how can they use bad ones!"

Xianglai thought: "Don't, I heard that a good horse is quite expensive, so don't spend all your money on it!"

So he hurriedly said: "You don't need to pick a good one, I just bought it for farm work, it's a pity to use a good horse!"

Yu Zixi said: "Hey! No matter what you do, as long as it can help you, it is right!"

Saying that the two had arrived in front of the stable, Yu Zixi watched shopkeeper Chen pull out two fine horses from inside, took the reins and handed them to Xianglai, and said, "I have ridden both of these horses before, they have good feet and are obedient, no matter It doesn’t matter if you’re driving or pulling a cart.”

They forced the horses to come over, but Xianglai had no choice but to take the reins and asked, "If this is the case, how about these two horses, how much?"

Yu Zixi looked down at her, and said: "Are you scolding me? The last words you passed on for my father are worth ten thousand gold. What are these two horses? If I take your money again, I'm still a human being." What!"

Xianglai never thought it was a favor to pass on those words, because it was always difficult for her to imagine Yu Zixi and the old man who died tragically in the snow as father and son. The second aunt barely collected his father's body, which seems... really a great favor!

But even so, she didn't think about taking other people's things for nothing, so she hurriedly handed the reins to Yu Zixi, saying: "No, no, it's just a passing message, so how can I take advantage of you for it."

Yu Zixi didn't raise his hand to pick it up at all, and said: "Sister Xianglai doesn't care about it, but I can't help feeling it. If you feel embarrassed, then help me with another matter!"

Xiang Lai was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What's the matter?"

Yu Zixi lowered her voice and said, "Just don't pass that sentence on to anyone, it will be buried in your heart forever."

Xianglai knew that those words should not be publicized, so even the second aunt who discovered the old man with a severed hand with her didn't know about it, but she was not surprised when Yu Zixi said it directly, saying: "I know this, then A sentence is like a thing to me, when I told Brother Yu that day, it was passed on, and I don’t remember it since then, Brother Yu doesn’t have to worry about it..."

As he spoke, he passed the rein back and said, "So it's not a big deal at all. I still can't take Brother Yu's horse."

Seeing that she insisted on not accepting it, Yu Zixi said helplessly: "Oh, well, since that's the case, I'll charge you money. The bad horses here are five thousand dollars a horse. These two are better, so I charge you 15 taels of silver." 30 taels for one or two horses."

Xianglai looked at him suspiciously, wanted to ask again but didn't believe it, so she turned around and asked Wang Erlin, "Second Uncle Wang, how much money did you buy your horse for?"

Wang Erlin said: "My horse is not in good shape, and it was thin when I bought it. It only cost four taels of silver!"

Xianglai thought that the price Yu Zixi wanted for her was more than three times that of Wang Erlin's horse, so it probably wasn't cheap, so she counted out 30 taels of silver from the silver bag and handed it to Yu Zixi, saying: "If this is the case, the two I bought the horse."

Yu Zixi laughed and said, "Well, since Miss Xianglai is forcing me to be disloyal, I can only blackmail her."
