Chapter 193 Horse Affairs
"A thousand-mile horse from the north!"
Old Master Xu chuckled, his eyes fixed on the smiling horse market merchant. "Are you sure this is the Northern Thousand Mile Horse?"
"Well……"
The horse market merchants were a little scared for a moment.
It’s nothing, it’s just that Mr. Xu’s smile is too mysterious and profound.
People in their line of work fear the most about meeting someone who knows what they are doing.
When ordinary people buy horses, they have no way of distinguishing the quality of the horses. They just rely on their own arguments and praises. Then they get dizzy and think they have become a horse breeder who can identify a good horse.
"Old man, well, this horse of mine does, indeed, have some of the blood of a Northern Thousand Mile Horse. I guarantee it!"
The horse market merchant's voice became much quieter.
He didn't dare to argue loudly with Old Man Xu. After all, this horse was just an ordinary white horse. The only thing that was remarkable was its snow-white body, which was similar in appearance to the legendary Jade Lion of the Night.
"Okay, let's buy it!"
Seeing that the horse market merchant was not stubborn, Mr. Xu decided to show mercy to him.
After all, these days are not easy.
It seems that the merchants in Mashi are making a lot of money in this business, but if they are unlucky, they may lose everything.
After all, the northern border is not a peaceful place.
"The old man is open-minded!"
The horse market merchant was very grateful to Mr. Xu for this trick. After all, he had been the one to deceive others, and Mr. Xu had not exposed his trick, saving his face. This was the way to be polite.
In the end, a white horse that satisfied Xu Laosan was sold at the affordable price of twenty taels of silver.
The horse market merchant only accepted a hard-earned fee, and Mr. Xu understood that the other party was returning the favor.
While Xu Lao San was busy matching the saddle, Old Man Xu chatted with the horse market merchant for a while and agreed with him that if there was a really good horse, it would be sent to Old Xu's family in Lingshui Village.
The horse market merchants traveled far and wide, so they were naturally well-informed. They immediately knew Mr. Xu's identity and repeatedly said that if they had any good horses, they would definitely send them to Mr. Xu as soon as possible.
…
When Mr. Xu was driving his ox cart home, the horse market merchant appeared in an inconspicuous courtyard in Anshun County.
"Fifth Master!"
The horse market merchant bowed respectfully to Zhao Rui, who was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.
"What's up?"
Zhao Rui narrowed his eyes and glanced over with a sharp look.
"Replying to Fifth Master, the one from Lingshui Village needs a good horse."
"oh?"
Zhao Rui's eyes suddenly widened and he became interested.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
The horse market merchant had no idea what was going on, so he could only recount what had happened at the horse market before.
“That’s quite interesting!”
"Then you should pay more attention. Every half a month, or even a month, send him two good horses. Remember, it must be two, no more, no less!"
"Yes, I'll remember it!"
"Then go!"
Zhao Rui waved his hand.
The horse market merchant bowed and left the courtyard.
Zhao Rui continued to drink tea, tapping his fingers lightly on the bluestone table, not knowing what he was thinking about.
…
That night, Zhao Bingzhao from Sanhe Town also heard from Zhao Rui the news that Mr. Xu wanted to buy a good horse.
"My eldest nephew has a big plan!"
Master Zhao Er narrowed his eyes and said, "Have someone prepare two good horses, no more, no less."
"By the way, do those horses that were part of my sister's dowry have any foals now? Go ask them, and if they do, get a docile one!"
