Yongyang's voice suddenly stopped many onlookers who were about to leave and looked over curiously.
The aunt who had spoken to Fu Yunyan before came over and persuaded her: "Girl, is that your grandmother? Please persuade her, you can't buy a wild horse, and we women can't tame a wild horse."
Fu Yunyan rudely boasted on Yongyang's behalf: "Don't worry. My grandmother's horse-reading skills won't make her suffer."
From the tone of this girl, could her grandmother be a master of horse-drawing? The aunt looked at the gray-haired old woman in front of her curiously. She saw that she was wearing an amber-colored summer coat. Just standing there with her back straight like this made people feel that she was different from an ordinary old woman. There is a kind of...what's it called...yes, it's nobility!
Looking at the two girls and a young lady next to the old woman, they all have their own unique qualities, but they are the best in the world. I have met a lot of people in so many years. Apart from anything else, their The origin may not be simple.
The aunt's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and she said with a smile: "Then I want to broaden my horizons!" She didn't plan to leave immediately.
For a while, those who were really interested in buying horses walked away, while those idle spectators saw that there was a lot of fun to join in, but they changed their minds and stayed, wanting to see how majestic it was. Does the old woman really have some skills?
Master Ning rolled his sleeves coldly and muttered in an almost inaudible voice: "A woman's opinion." Then he left without looking back, taking a group of enthusiastic followers with him.
Seeing that the situation had eased slightly, the horse owner thought that if he could make a fortune, he smiled attentively and said: "Old lady, the rules of betting on horses are that you have to pay the money first, and then put the money in. He came here with a horse." The implication is that he is asking for money.
Baihui immediately stepped forward and gave the horse owner twelve taels of silver.
After the horse owner weighed it, as if he was afraid that they would regret it, he hurriedly hid it in his arms and said with a smile: "Old madam, you can choose whatever you want, take your time, we are not in a hurry. But once you choose, it will be Just like playing chess, you have no regrets when you make a move!"
The spectators around were whispering to each other, wanting to see what kind of horse this old woman would choose.
Nangong Yue and the others turned a blind eye to the curious gazes of everyone. Nangong Yue asked Yong Yang with a smile: "Grandma Yong Yang, which horse do you have your eye on?"
Yongyang pointed in a certain direction and said: "The horse numbered sixteen." In order to make it easier to look at horses, dozens of horses in the fence were numbered.
Looking in the direction she pointed, many people around were dumbfounded. They saw that the horse No. 16 was a yellow horse with white hair on its head. There were some white spots scattered on its belly and sides. Yes, it looks extremely thin, even its ribs are exposed. It is so thin and thin that if someone rides on it, it will be crushed to death.
For a while, everyone onlookers whispered to each other:
"Is this old woman's eyesight dim?"
"Yes, it's really a waste to throw away twelve taels of silver so casually!"
"I think people with money are stupid."
"..."
Even the horse owner was confused for a moment. He didn't know whether the old woman was really dazzled or whether she was just deliberately taking twelve taels of silver to have fun... But there was no fun in buying such a thin horse. Word?
It has been more than half a month since the horse owner took in this yellow horse. It is getting thinner and thinner as he keeps it. The owner even suspects that it has worms in its stomach, but he is not willing to spend money to hire a veterinarian, so he plans to come to the horse this time. They were sold at a low price in the city, and now they are just a random sum of money placed in a fence.
The horse owner hesitated for a moment, feeling that if the deal was completed, even these spectators would run away, so he muttered: "Old lady, did you see it wrong? Do you want to take a closer look? ”
Before Yong Yang spoke, Fu Yunyan burst into laughter: "Boss, didn't you just say, 'Once you make a choice, it's like playing chess, you have no regrets!'" She deliberately imitated it. with the other party's emphasis.
The horse owner showed a hint of embarrassment, thinking about how these women were dressed, and they probably did not lack the twelve taels of silver. Since they liked them, why bother with them?
The horse owner gave instructions to his boy, and a boy in green clothes immediately entered the fence and pulled out the thin yellow horse.
Looking closely, this yellow horse is even more alarmingly thin.
The onlookers around them felt bored, and after a few cheers, they gradually dispersed...
Fu Yunyan stepped forward and took the horse rope from the waiter. To be honest, if it weren't for her grandmother, she wouldn't have paid attention to this horse that looked sallow and thin at first glance. But her grandmother must have had her reasons for choosing it.
Fu Yunyan looked at the horse curiously, looking from its limbs to its head...
Xiao Fei also behaved in the same way. Their eyes fell on the same place, they both squinted slightly and said "Huh".
The two looked at each other and were about to speak when they heard a familiar male voice coming from behind: "The water and fire are clear, the upper lip is sharp and square, and the mouth is red and shiny: this is a thousand-mile horse."
Looking around, I saw that Mr. Ning from before had unexpectedly come back, stood at the back, and strode forward.
With the arrival of Mr. Ning, another group of spectators were attracted. Most of them seemed to understand what Mr. Ning said, but the three words "Qianlima" were still clear enough.
If others say that this thin yellow horse is a thousand-mile horse, no one will believe it, but what comes out of Master Ning’s mouth is worth a thousand dollars!
Master Ning looked around the yellow horse and murmured: "The white hair on the horse's head is as round as the full moon. Could it be that this is the 'Xiliang Yuding hay yellow' mentioned in the book? It's thin and hairy, and its muscles are exposed but it doesn't make it fat... Could it really be..." Mr. Ning swallowed excitedly, "Could this be a yellow gelding!?"
The next moment, the crowd suddenly became excited and everyone was talking about it:
"It's really a thousand-mile horse!"
"If it is really a yellow gelding, it is not a thousand-mile horse!"
“I heard that yellow geldings have become fat because they are eight feet tall, with yellow hair all over their bodies and no color at all!”
"I didn't expect this old woman to have such sharp eyesight that she could pick up a mistake..."
"..."
The onlookers were talking to each other, and even the horse owner was almost dumbfounded. A BMW worth thousands of gold actually slipped away from his hands!
The horse owner couldn't bear it any longer, jumped out of the box, came to the yellow horse and asked Master Ning: "Master Ning, is this really a yellow gelding? Then I fed it so much hay, how come it didn't have any hay at all?" Gain weight?" He had fed this yellow horse delicious food for more than half a month!
Master Ning glanced at the horse owner with disdain and said rudely: "You have always heard of 'a good horse never turns back to eat grass', right? A good horse can catch a glimpse of the most delicious and delicious grass, so he starts from If you don’t eat the straw, just take a bite of your broken hay and you will be wronging this BMW!"
As he said that, Mr. Ning glanced at the yellow horse again, then looked at Yongyang, clasped his fists and said, "This old lady really knows a good horse with a keen eye! I wonder if you can give me some advice. ?" Speaking of which, he also felt a little regretful in his heart. A thousand-mile horse is only one in ten thousand, and a thousand pieces of gold is not easy to come by. This way of judging horses is indeed unpredictable and profound.
Yongyang smiled heartily: "Don't take advice seriously. It can be said in four words, 'learn more and see more'."
Before Mr. Ning said anything, Fu Yunyan had already clapped his hands and praised: "Grandma, you summed it up well." But that's not it! My grandmother used to fight on the battlefield, and I don’t know how many war horses she saw before she could learn how to use them effectively.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei also knew it well, and couldn't help but smile understandingly.
"Grandma," Fu Yunyan said impatiently, "let's go back quickly. I think poor Shiliu is almost starving!"
This poor yellow gelding has been hungry for so long. It’s time to take it home quickly and feed it some fresh green grass.
"Okay, let's go back." Yongyang agreed immediately. She didn't need to look around, she could feel the hot and curious eyes around her. Because of the yellow gelding, they had become the focus of everyone's attention in the horse market... ...It would be pointless to stay any longer.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei naturally had no objections. They turned around and walked back, followed by Baihui holding the yellow horse. There were also many spectators who followed them reluctantly and pointed. , word spread that a yellow gelding suddenly appeared in the horse market today. That is another good story in this horse market!
"Old lady, judging by your accent, you are from the north..." After Mr. Ning came to his senses, he chased after him excitedly, "Why did you leave so quickly when you come here once? The Jockey Club will also hold a more formal and grand horse racing event. If the juniors are lucky enough to watch your seniors horse racing again, that would be really..."
Master Ning is really a familiar person. He follows them around like a dog-skin plaster and keeps trying to talk to Yong Yang.
Until another movement happened in front, many passers-by looked towards the entrance of the horse market and moved to both sides to avoid. Nangong Yue and his party subconsciously slowed down, and then they saw three or four A man in a brocade robe and seven or eight soldiers in armor came rumbling towards this side. The short, fat man in the lead looked to be in his forties and was wearing a crow-green silk robe with a round white collar. His face has a short beard and a lean look.
One look at the armors on the soldiers in the rear, and one can tell that they are from the regular army of southern Xinjiang!
Who among the people in southern Xinjiang does not know the soldiers of southern Xinjiang? I heard a young man on the roadside say: "Isn't it possible that the master of the horse supervisor is also coming to the horse market to buy today?"
"Isn't that normal?" The young man next to the young man who looked somewhat similar to him said thoughtfully, "There have been frequent wars in the past two years, and there must be a shortage of war horses, so the prince ordered the horse supervisor to bring horses. The city purchases war horses."
The young man said with envy: "If any horse farm takes over the business of the Southern Xinjiang Army, wouldn't it not only make a profit, but also gain a reputation?!" The horse that can be chosen to be a war horse is naturally a horse!
The passers-by were so excited that they wanted to see which racecourse would be lucky enough to catch the attention of the Southern Xinjiang Army.
Led by the short and fat man, several subordinates and several soldiers from southern Xinjiang followed closely and looked at the horses all the way. The horse owners came forward to greet them with some fear.
The short, fat man looked arrogant. He shook his head after seeing several fences where horses were kept. One of the horse owners was even described by him as having a good face. He was sweating profusely. He was obviously beaten. The criticism is worthless.
Nangong Yue and others felt a little strange. When they entered the horse market before, they had clearly seen the horses from several nearby houses. Although those horses were not BMWs, they were not that bad.
Nangong Yue, Fu Yunyan and Xiao Fei looked at each other strangely, all with doubts on their faces.
The short, fat man looked at the horses from several houses as if he was pointing the country, then stopped beside a blue tent, pointed at the more than a hundred brown horses in the fence and said: "These horses are of good quality. Not bad."
Hearing this, Fu Yunyan frowned and muttered: "Grandma, that's the Wu's horse farm, right? Why do I remember that the horses at his horse farm are not very good!" She clearly and definitely remembered that the horses from that horse farm were clearly physical. A third-class horse that is thin, weak, and has poor footwork.
While talking, I saw that a man had already pulled out two brown horses. The short and fat man was seriously inspecting the limbs and teeth of the horses.
The owner of these brown horses is a middle-aged man wearing an azure brocade robe. He is bloated and has a shiny face. He praises the advantages of his own horses as if they were "as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning". , "The responsibilities are long and the journey is long", "The power is endless" and other good words are endless.
And the short, fat man nodded from time to time, obviously in agreement.
Fu Yunyan frowned and said again: "This horse prisoner doesn't know how to appraise horses at all, and he is still pretending..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mr. Ning beside her: "Girl, you have nothing to do..." He had a meaningful look on his face, "It doesn't matter whether the horses at the Wu Family Racecourse are good or not. , what matters is whether their boss can be a good person."
Fu Yunyan squinted his eyes slightly and heard what the other party meant. He sneered and said sarcastically: "The person in the horse supervisor's relationship is not looking at horses but 'looking' at people!"
Fu Yunyan's analogy was so funny that Nangong Yue was almost amused, so she called Baihui and said, "Baihui, go over and ask around and find out what the name of this horse supervisor is." He paused. After a pause, she frowned slightly and said, "I always feel that this person seems familiar, and he is from the horse supervisor..."
Baihui was stunned, as if she thought of something. After bowing, she ran to inquire.
Mr. Ning on the side looked at them in confusion. Before, he was only concerned about Souma, but he did not pay attention to the appearance and demeanor of these women. Now he is faintly aware that they seem to have some origins - if they are ordinary people, , why bother to inquire about the origins of the horse prisoner.
At this time, after the short and fat man pretended to inspect a few horses, he took out a few purchase documents and handed them to Boss Wu. The attendant behind him took out a few banknotes, as if he wanted to pay a deposit. .
More and more people were watching, all whispering to each other. Many people were envious of the fact that the Wu Family Racecourse had made such a big deal. When the military purchases war horses, it will definitely not just purchase the hundreds of horses present today, it will be a large order for thousands of horses!
Baihui mingled with the crowd of onlookers and made some inquiries, then came back to report. This time, she whispered in Nangong Yue's ear: "Madam, I heard that the horse prisoner called the man Master Niu, and asked for someone to inquire. After a moment, it turned out to be Niu Xinglong."
Nangong Yue slightly tilted her head, the Niu Xinglong in Baihui’s mouth was exactly the Niu Xinglong from Liuhezhuang!
Nangong Yue still remembers what happened in Liuhezhuang. Niu Xinglong is Xiao Fang’s aunt’s brother and her direct “uncle”. He has managed the property left by the old prince for her for many years. In Liuhezhuang, She was even more domineering, exploiting tenant farmers, mistreating disabled veterans, and deliberately smearing Xiao Yi's reputation. It was really abominable. Unfortunately, in the end, she only taught Niu Chang'an, the nephew in charge of Niu, and failed to catch Niu Xinglong!
Nangong Yue naturally sent people to look for Niu Xinglong and knew that he had returned to southern Xinjiang to join the Xiao Fang family.
At that time, she was far away in the royal capital, so Nangong Yue could only put the matter aside for the time being. After returning to southern Xinjiang, she asked Zhu Xing to investigate carefully, and then she found out that Niu Xinglong had been assigned to the horse prison as a young prisoner by the King of Zhennan. Nangong Yue had been keeping calm, planning to wait until the business with Xiao Fang was officially settled before cleaning up together so as not to alert others, but she didn't expect to see him here.
If Niu Xinglong hadn't been somewhat similar to the original Niu Changan, I'm afraid she wouldn't have recognized him.
"Madam, there is one more thing." Baihui added in a low voice, "I just heard Niu Xinglong and his deputy say that the two thousand war horses they purchased this time will be sent to Huizhou tomorrow. Mausoleum."
Nangong Yue's pupils shrank. The reason why the cavalry's combat power was stronger than that of ordinary soldiers was that they relied on their war horses. Once these inferior horses were sent to the battlefield, they would likely affect the situation of the battle.
Ayi is in Huiling City, how can he be exposed to such danger!
Thinking about it, a dark light flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes, and anger surged in her heart, but she could only watch helplessly as Niu Xinglong reached an agreement with Boss Wu to buy away those bad horses.
Purchasing war horses is a matter for the military. She is a female family member of the inner house. Even if she is the crown prince of Zhennan, she has no right to interfere. Grandma Yongyang is not a general in Southern Xinjiang and cannot interfere in the military affairs of Southern Xinjiang.
The only one who can take care of this matter is Xiao Yihe——
King of Zhennan!
With King Zhennan’s temperament, speaking rashly will only be counterproductive. It may not only destroy the harmony that has been barely formed these days, but also prevent the horses from being sent to the front line.
Nangong Yue tried hard to calm down and had to think of a way...
Nangong Yue's eyes fell on the yellow gelding. After pondering for a moment, she said a few words to Yongyang. With her permission, she invited Baihui to whisper quietly, and Baihui left as ordered.
Niu Xinglong, who was diagonally opposite, gave Boss Wu a purchase order in duplicate, and then said pretentiously: "Today, I will pay a deposit of five thousand taels and take away the two hundred war horses. You must deliver the 1,800 pieces to the Luo Yue City camp before 10:00 tomorrow, and I will pay the balance at that time."
Niu Xinglong naturally knew that many people were watching him, but he didn't care at all. He thought that after buying these two thousand war horses, ten thousand taels of silver would fly into his pocket. Niu Xinglong Just elated. Others say that fighting is not good. According to him, these people are short-sighted. How can they get rich without fighting?
"Yes, Master Niu." Boss Wu only agreed. He was secretly happy that he was well-informed. He had already found out that the Southern Xinjiang Army wanted to purchase war horses, so he quietly tested the Master Niu who was in charge of the matter in advance. The matter was done beautifully.
Now that the errand was done, Niu Xinglong planned to go back home, but at this moment, the deputy young **** accompanying him strode up to him and lowered his voice and said to him: "Sir, I just heard that It is said that a thousand-mile horse appeared in the horse market today..."
A thousand-mile horse? ! Niu Xinglong's eyes suddenly lit up and his heart was surging: If there really is a thousand-mile horse and he can present it to the King of Zhennan, the King of Zhennan will be very happy, and maybe he will think that he can do things well and give him to him in the future. He has more lucrative errands...
Thinking of this, Niu Xinglong couldn't wait to ask: "Where is that thousand-mile horse? I must buy it." There was a sense of certainty in his tone, and he did not think about the other party at all. It is possible to reject him.
The deputy young **** felt a little embarrassed and continued: "Sir, this thousand-mile horse was taken away by an old woman while betting on horse fortune..." As he spoke, he pointed to Yong Yang and Nangong Yue not far away. A group of people.
Niu Xinglong looked over in the direction he pointed, his eyes swept over several people lightly, without taking them seriously, and finally fixed his eyes on the thin yellow horse, his eyes exposed. Suspicion: "The thousand-mile horse you are talking about is not the rib horse, right?"
The Deputy Young Superintendent was also familiar with the temperament of his immediate superior. He hurriedly summarized what he had just heard in a concise manner, and then pointed at Mr. Ning and said: "This Mr. Ning is famous for his horse-drawing ability, my subordinates. Seeing as he is pestering the old woman, he might also want to buy this yellow gelding..."
Although Niu Xinglong doesn't know much about horse-drawing, he has been in the horse prison for a while. He has heard the names of these famous horses, and the deputy young prisoner is in the horse prison. After staying there for decades, although he can't be called a great talent, he is still quite proficient in the art of horse-drawing.
Niu Xinglong still knew that a BMW is a rare thing. Niu Xinglong did not hesitate and walked towards Yongyang and his group at high speed.
