Chapter 58: Selling Horses

Qifeng Town is located in the northwest corner of Suizhou City. Although it is a thousand-person town, it is connected by traffic roads, water and land, so the streets are still prosperous, with wine shops and brothel theaters. It is also located in the land and water wharf, and there is an endless stream of merchants from south to north, which inevitably makes the town's people unruly and give birth to countless rogues.

At dusk, a jujube red horse appeared on the street with a man and a woman, which suddenly attracted many people's eyes.

Although the man looked trendy, it was difficult to hide his talent. In contrast, although the woman was also beautiful and brightly dressed, she was gloomy. The two went to Deqifeng Town, pressed the ren, did not get off the horse to hit the tip, nor did they look for an inn to stay, but walked slowly and walked at will.

"Son, Qifeng Town is so big, where can I find the princess?" Xiuxiu said anxiously.

Duguhong hurried to cover her mouth and whispered, "Don't shout, just say Miss." He meditated and said, "Since the black boss wants us to come here, he must find our way!" Just walk around the street and teach him that we have arrived.

Xiuxiu was silent and swaggered through the market with Duguhong.

It's just that until the sun sinks in the west, several streets in Qifeng Town have also been visited twice, but there is no trace of Han You and the Black Boss, and no one came to invite them. Instead, it attracted idle people to point fingers and feet.

"Sore... are you hungry?" Xiuxiu asked cautiously.

"It's still good!" In fact, he has been hungry for a long time. In the past few days, he has spent all the silver on Xiuxiu's body. Dugu Hong has escaped from the prison without half a copper plate.

"Father, don't hold on. It's more important to get something to eat!"

Duguhong blushed and said with shame, "I don't want Duguhong to be depressed here!"

"It's no big deal, Gong... Er, the books that the lady often read doesn't say that a man can bend and stretch, and says that what is poor and lowly can't be moved. It seems that the fallen hero from ancient times is not the prince. In my opinion, let's sell this horse!" Xiuxiu said a lot, and the last sentence is the key point.

Duguhong was shocked: "How to make it so that if there is a pursuer, this is a life-saving thing, how can it be sold?"

"In this poor and remote place, when the soldiers arrive, we have already found the young lady. Naturally, the old black can get money and buy it back." The prosperity of Qifeng Town is naturally a remote place in Xiuxiu's eyes.

It makes some sense for Dugu Hong to think about it. He can't ride a horse on the street until dark and dawn.

Seeing Duguhong's acquiescence, Xiuxiu jumped down and shouted, "Sell horses, sell horses, fat and strong jujube red horses, want to buy it quickly!"

The idle man was accoling. Hearing Xiuxiu shouting like this, he gathered around. This said, "How much does the horse sell?" The one said, "The horse is worthless. Can this girl sell it?" More vulgarly said, "This girl is not as good as this man. It will be enviable to buy it back!"

Duguhong had never suffered such rude words, so he was about to attack. Xiuxiu hurriedly pulled him. Seeing that this person was not a serious buyer, he did not answer, and led the horse to seize the road and left.

The idle man didn't let go and caught up with him and said, "But just kidding, girl, how many cents are you selling?"

Who knows that this problem hasnan Duguhong and Xiuxiu. Yes, how much should it be sold? These brokers have their own housekeepers and miscellaneous servants, but they have never been dealt with.

Xiuxiu thought for a moment and was afraid that no one would dare to buy it. He estimated, "The minimum is 100 taels of silver!" Seeing that the masters of each palace have rewarded their servants, there are at least one or two taels, and there are also more than ten taels. Such a big living horse is worth one or two hundred taels of silver!

When the idle ruffian heard it, he suddenly fell down. When he watched the show again, he saw the monster in his eyes.

"A horse costs a hundred taels of silver, is this girl crazy!"

"I'm afraid I'm crazy. One hundred taels can open a horse farm!"

“......”

Xiuxiu also lost confidence and said, "So, how much money are you willing to pay?"

What an elf the idle man is. It can be seen that neither of them understands the world and cheated them. One said, "I'll pay 50 copper coins!" Another said, "Don't bully foreigners, I'll hang myself!"

Xiuxiu couldn't figure it out for a moment. Looking at Duguhong, he also looked at a blank face, but he was hungry and hesitated for a moment. The idle men came out and gritted their teeth and made a deal.

After getting the money, the two rushed into a restaurant called "Yuebin Pavilion". The fish ordered a table and let it go. They didn't care about what was elegant. They ate greasy with one hand and one mouth, which attracted the diners to chuckle. But in a quarter of an hour, I cleaned up a table of fish and meat, and then I burped and asked the clerk to pay the bill.

"Two guest officials, a total of four, two, three cents and five cents of silver!"

Xiuxiu was stunned and asked, "How many articles?"

"4350 articles!"

Ah! It's only 2,000 won for selling horses!

"Man, is there any mistake? How much does a meal cost?"

Although our store is small, it has been open for decades, and it has always been fooling. Er, in addition, our store has a small profit, and there is no credit!" It is obvious that Xiuxiu is in a dilemma, so I declare it.

"No, isn't our horse worth a meal!" Xiuxiu took out two hangings of money and threw them on the table, and said angrily.

The man's eyes widened: "The girl only sold two dollars for a horse?"

"That scoundrel, prince, let's settle accounts with him!"

But she was pulled by the clerk and her face sank: "The girl hasn't finished paying back the wine yet?"

"Hand it away, I'll get the horse money back later, and I'll give it back to you!"

Where is the guy willing to let it go? He shouted, "Someone eats white food. Come on!" For a moment, three or four cooks ran from the store and surrounded Duguhong and Xiuxiu. The shopkeeper also came around from behind the cabinet and pointed to Xiuxiu and said, "If you have money, you can quickly return it. If you are a cheat, you will immediately report to the official and take it into the government office to beat him."

Xiuxiu said angrily, "Bold slave, know what my son is..."

Duguhong quickly pulled Xiuxiu behind him and saluted the shopkeeper: "When everyone is in trouble, I hope the shopkeeper will have a heart to help the weak. Let us go this time. I really didn't mean to eat free food. I was deceived by the traitor and bought a jujube red horse for two hanging money!"

Although the shopkeeper saw that Duguhong looked in trouble, his eyebrows were very noble, not ordinary children in distress. As the saying goes, the thin camel was bigger than the horse. He thought about it in his heart and said, "In this case, it's okay not to send it to the official, but I have to work in my store. When I earn enough money for wine and vegetables, I will naturally let you go!"

Xiuxiu still wanted to argue, but Du Guhong quickly agreed: "It should be like this, it should be like this!" He wink at Xiuxiu.

As soon as Xiuxiu thought about it, he suddenly saw that although he had to put down his identity and do things, after all, it was better to eat and live than to wander outside and have a meal without a meal.

The two fell on the "Yuebin Pavilion". Xiuxiu washed vegetables and dishes in the kitchen. Duguhong was handsome, but the shopkeeper would be useful, making him a doorman and attracting guests. When he was busy, he also helped to bring tea and water and clean up the broken table!

I didn't realize that I had been working for three days. Although I was not very sharp, I was criticized and cold. I was familiar with those guys, but I never made it too difficult for them. After all, Xi Xiuxiu has a good demeanor and is used to talking, which makes several young guys beg for goodwill.

Only when they finished work at night, the two couldn't help worrying about Han You. With the horsepower of the silver star horse, they should have arrived in Qifeng Town earlier. Now they have fallen for three days and have not seen any trace, so nothing will happen!

At noon, the store was lively, and seven or eight Jianghu guests suddenly poured in outside the door. They all dressed up with their swords and pedaled straight to the elegant room upstairs. Seeing that the guys were busy, Duguhong made tea according to the rules of the wine shop and sent a tea tray to him. At the same time, he invited the guest to order.

The leader is a young man, but at the age of his twenties, he is also good-looking and born with a hemboyant style. Sitting alone, the Jianghu guests sat around, and the stars were like the moon.

The young man saw Duguhong, and his face was also slightly surprised. Although he didn't say it clearly, his expression was: Is there such a figure running in the small restaurant?

"Just send the good fish and meat, and then hold a few jars of Du Kang!" After the young man ordered, he threw in one or two pieces of silver. The little one is a reward for you!"

Dugu Hong thought that those slaves had been rewarded as usual to thank them, so he wanted to thank them, but his face turned red, but he couldn't say anything. In order to avoid embarrassment, he quickly collected the money, bent his body slightly, and wanted to exit the elegant room.

"Hight!"

The young man got up and turned to Duguhong, put a hand on his shoulder, and whispered, "Have you ever heard of the saying that people's money can eliminate disasters for others?" Duguhong was puzzled and only nodded.

The young man took out a thing from his wide sleeve, but it was a small paper bag.

"If a man and a woman come to fight, you will mix the things in this paper bag with his tea. If it happens, I will have another reward. If there is a little wind..." He pinched it casually and grabbed a corner of the table below.

Although Duguhong didn't know what they wanted to do, he was already disgusted with such a despicable method and was afraid of revealing his identity. He thought: Let's promise that the two guest officials may not come to the "Yuebin Pavilion" to the top. It's coming, and it's not too late for the camera to act. So he nodded and agreed and withdrew from Yajian. First, I went to the kitchen to pass on the dishes, and then grabbed a clerk and asked, "Do you know where the guest officer upstairs came from?"

The man was well-informed, but the store was busy. He only replied, "Be careful to serve. Those are the people of the Zhuge family. If you offend, there will be no good fruit!"

The Zhuge family has also heard of it in the past. It is a very famous gang in the world, but the world and the government have always been unwilling to get together, and they are not very interested in things in the world in the past. The young man seems to have a great status, but he doesn't know what kind of person he is in Zhuge's family?
