Chapter 1234 I Want to Send You
There were three horses. The steward said that each one was the best in the stable, so each one was worth thirty gold.
If Manbao hadn't seen this horse at the carriage and horse shop, she would have almost believed it. It had only been a few days. Even if the price of the horse had increased, it couldn't have increased by two gold coins in just four days, right?
So Manbao bargained directly, "Thirty gold is too expensive, twenty-eight gold at most, and we bought three at once, can't you give us a discount?"
Mrs. Cheng, who was about to pay for Manbao, paused and looked at her in shock.
The manager was also stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting her to bargain.
Who knew that as soon as Manbao finished speaking, Baishan and Bai Erlang nodded, and then began to look at the horse they had just selected with a critical eye, and then pushed Daji out to let him find its flaws.
There's no way they can look at horses.
Daji was worthy of their trust and selected the three horses from the aspects of age and coat color.
When facing Daji, the manager finally regained his bargaining feeling. There was no other way. He had bargained with the managers of various families many times, but he had never talked about the price when facing the young men and women. After all, they would come to their horse farm, and there would be young men and women from the Yin, Liu, Cheng, Han, and Li families accompanying them. Was it necessary to bargain with them for a few gold coins?
Therefore, with Bai Shan and the others staring at them intently, the manager, who had not yet figured out their identities, responded cautiously, preventing Daji from finding any more faults.
Because of the full treasure, he reluctantly gave them an extra gold, twenty-seven gold per horse.
So the three of them laughed and smiled together.
Manbao whispered to the two of them, "I saw this reddish-brown horse at the carriage and horse shop. It was sold by Xiao Shao's friend for twenty-eight gold. Apparently, he overpaid."
The price given by the friend is naturally affordable. The current price is one gold less than the price given by the friend, which is considered a profit for them.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang secretly gave her a thumbs up.
The three of them were satisfied, so they went to sign the bill and asked the manager to go to Changqing Lane to get the money.
The manager was used to it. After all, who would bring so much gold and silver when going out shopping or riding horses or playing ball at the horse farm?
He looked at the address they signed and felt a little confused. The Bai family in Changqing Lane sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
Madam Cheng Er finally came to her senses and quickly asked the servants to get the money. She grabbed Manbao and said, "Miss Zhou, I promised to give you a horse. Let me pay for this horse."
Manbao naturally refused. The relationship between them was just that of a patient. Mrs. Cheng usually paid her for her medical treatments, so how could she accept such an expensive gift from her?
Madam Cheng smiled and said, "Miss Zhou, please don't refuse. This is also my intention."
Manbao insisted on refusing, "I don't accept gifts without merit. How can I accept such a valuable gift from Madam Cheng?"
"How can it be in vain? You cured my illness, and you also treated my sisters-in-law's illnesses. You deserve this small gift."
"But you have paid me a lot for medical consultations." Manbao insisted on not accepting it.
Madam Cheng had no choice but to look at Madam Han.
Madam Han said, "Madam Zhou, I'll tell you the truth. My sister is married to the Li family in Yongzhou. She is almost eight months pregnant. I want you to take a look at her."
"ah?"
Madam Han glanced at the order they signed and vaguely knew what they liked. She said directly, "How about this? These three horses will be my greeting gift to you three. We can discuss the rest when we have time. How about that?"
Bai Shan immediately stopped her and said, "Thank you, Madam Han, but it would be better for us to buy the horse ourselves. You can ask Manbao to treat your illness and then prepare a thank you gift for her in the future."
Manbao and Bai Erlang nodded together. The disease hadn't been treated yet, so how could he accept the thank-you gift first?
And this gift is so expensive.
Manbao calculated the price of the three horses in her mind and couldn't help swallowing. Eighty-one gold, that's eight hundred and ten taels. What kind of disease is this? She didn't even make that much money treating the empress.
No, that’s not right. The prince promised to give her 500 gold, so there is still some.
The three men insisted on not accepting it, and Madam Han and the others could not force them. They felt a little regretful, so their eyes fell on the naked horse.
When Bai Shan and his companions returned to Changqing Lane and handed the money to the manager of the stable, they were just touching their ponies and enjoying them very much when Madam Cheng Er and her companions sent someone to deliver three saddles and stirrups.
Seeing that not only were there all the saddles available, but even the whips were complete, Yin Huo smiled and said, "I was originally thinking of picking out a few saddles from my storeroom to give you, but now it seems that's not necessary."
The three men then remembered that they were so busy looking at the horses that they forgot to look at the saddles.
Liu Huan knew a little more about horses than any of them. After all, he started riding horses a few years earlier. He seldom had the opportunity to buy horses himself, but he had bought several pairs of saddles himself, so he knew about them.
"This saddle looks comfortable. It's made of top-quality leather..."
Yin Huo touched it and felt comfortable, then nodded to the three of them.
Bai Shan then asked Daji, "Is this thing valuable?"
Daji said, "It's not cheap."
Manbao was shocked. "If you want to see a doctor, just go to Jishiditang and invite me. I won't refuse to go. Why are you trying to please me like this? It makes my heart beat fast and I feel so embarrassed."
Yin Huo smiled and said, "Just keep it. Your status is different now. I think they are afraid that you will stop being a doctor."
Bai Shanze frowned, "Is there anything wrong with the patient?"
Yin Huo thought for a moment and said, "The Han family's Fifth Lady has indeed married into the Yongzhou Li family. So, I have to call her my cousin. Giving birth... isn't it what you all often say, 'It's like walking through the gates of hell?' Perhaps that's why?"
Bai Shan frowned and thought for a moment, but still didn't put the saddle on the horse. Instead, he said, "Put it away first. Wait until Man Bao has seen the patient."
Seeing that they were still clinging to their horses, Liu Huan continued to hold his forehead with his hand and said, "How long do you plan to stand here? Although the winter sun won't harm you, it's really tiring to stand here in the middle of the day."
Bai Shan and the other two reluctantly handed the horse to Daji to take back to the stable, and then invited them to the backyard for tea and chat.
Mr. Zhuang went out to visit a friend, so they occupied the study and invited Xiang Mingxue to come over and talk.
Liu Huan and Yin Huo's eyes sparkled when they saw Xiang Mingxue. Liu Huan, in particular, almost rushed over to him in excitement, but he managed to hold himself back. After bowing to Xiang Mingxue, who was carried by Xiang Chao, he asked softly, "Master Xiang, how are your injuries?"
Xiang Mingxue's body stiffened. He glanced at Bai Shan and the others before politely saying to Liu Huan, "I'm much better now. Thank you for your concern, Master Liu."
He knew that this must be because of the story.
See you at 10pm
