Chapter 57 57 The gangster sneak attack

After returning home, Xu Xuezhen sat in front of the window and looked at the blooming rose in the yard. She recalled the scene where she just saw the two smiling and talking.

He raised his hand to cover his chest, biting his lips tightly, and his normally dignified eyes were now filled with dark depression.

I think of Junior Sister An, who took the Junior Three Yuan exams consecutively. Not only was she good at learning, but she was also able to live such a free and easy life.

In the academy, she could easily get the attention of the mountain chief, who personally sent someone to deliver it to her. There was a wooden sign for the entrance to the reading building that others could not come to.

She was pampered by her teacher and cared for by so many senior brothers. Even going to Songjiang Mansion to listen to the great Confucian lectures, she only heard about it after the fact.

But this ordinary female student from a farm family was able to listen to the great Confucian's lectures with the help of her teacher and senior brothers. If nothing else happens, she would definitely be on the list for this provincial examination.

Xu Xuezhen didn't think An Chuxia could afford the study trip to Songjiang Prefecture.

Xu Xuezhen, who was alone at this time, could no longer suppress her envy and jealousy. The distorted expression on her face was completely different from the original dignified atmosphere.

He raised his hand to sweep down a potted plant with lush green leaves on the windowsill.

Suddenly he stood up and walked towards the yard where his servants lived.

On the street, An Chuxia and Mu Tan came to the livestock selling place and went directly to the horse selling place.

At this time, a man who specialized in helping people pick livestock came up to An Chuxia and asked if they needed help.

They are very familiar with the quality of these cattle and horses. They can tell the age of the animals and whether they are sick.

In the end, An Chuxia and Mu Tan asked an older man to help each of them choose one.

Mutan got the news very early, and most of the good horses here have not been selected yet.

The man walked into the herd of horses and pulled out a black horse with shiny coat among hundreds of horses. Then he went in and picked out a brown horse and brought it to the two of them.

He said to An Chuxia and Mu Tan: "These two horses are about three or four years old. They have just grown up. They are healthy and strong and have been used for a long time."

Mu Tan nodded in approval after looking at it.

He turned around and asked An Chuxia to choose the one he liked from the two horses.

In her last life, An Chuxia also went to a racecourse and rode horses. She also loved horses very much.

An Chuxia did not refuse Mutan's humility. She had long been attracted to the tall and strong black horse.

However, good horses are also expensive. An Chuxia just saw someone buying an ordinary bay-red horse for forty-five taels of silver.

And the man chose two horses for them.

The horse dealer actually offered a price of one hundred and fifty taels.

An Chuxia didn't know much about the price of horses. She looked at Mu Tan and the middle man next to her.

Looking at the calm expressions on their faces, you can tell that there may be a big difference between horses.

The bay-red horse that cost 45 taels of silver just now is obviously smaller than the two horses selected by the middle-aged man. When compared with the two horses, it seems that they are not as strong as they are, and their coat color is not as pure as these two horses.

Finally, after bargaining with the bearded horse dealer, An Chuxia and Mu Tan bought the two horses for one hundred and thirty-eight taels.

I gave the middleman an agency fee of two taels of silver.

As soon as An Chuxia and Mu Tan walked out of the cattle and horse market with the horses they bought, they were stopped by a dark-skinned man who asked if they wanted to buy a carriage.

An Chuxia and Mu Tan looked at each other.

Mu Tan nodded to the man and the two of them followed to a shop not far from the cattle and horse market, which specialized in building and selling cattle carts and horse carriages.

After some selection, An Chuxia and Mu Tan both bought a spacious and sturdy carriage.

With the help of the boss, the two horses were hitched onto the carriage.

It was obviously the first time for the horses to be hitched to the carriage, and they were still not used to it and wanted to buck up.

The owner of the carriage shop, who was already used to it, held a small leather whip and the reins in his hand. After getting the permission of An Chuxia and Mu Tan, he quickly tidied up and obeyed.

The two carriages cost nearly twenty taels of silver. An Chuxia now knew why carriages were rarely seen in Qingshi Town.

Not to mention the sturdy horses they bought, even ordinary thin horses cost more than thirty taels at the lowest price, and the cheapest carriage also costs five or six taels of silver.

A carriage with good wood and a spacious carriage like the one they bought costs about ten taels, which is really not something that ordinary people or families can afford.

On the way back, An Chuxia, who was driving a carriage for the first time, was almost dragged into a ditch by the roadside by a disobedient black horse.

In the end, Mu Tan, who was worried, had no choice but to tie the black horse to the back of his carriage, and An Chuxia had no choice but to ride home in the carriage driven by Mu Tan.

When passing by the village, the villagers looked curiously at the tied carriages and the mutan driver.

It's just that Mu Tan has always given people a very cold feeling in the village. Many villagers swallowed back their gossip in his indifferent eyes.

When An Jinchen and Runsheng returned home in the evening, An Chuxia had already prepared the meal.

After finishing the meal, An Chuxia raised her head and said to An Jinchen: "Brother, I bought a carriage and it's tied up in the backyard now. If you have time, find someone to build a stable."

An Jinchen and Runsheng were stunned for a moment. When they realized what they were doing, they stood up and strode towards the backyard.

There are very few households in the village with ox carts, let alone horse-drawn carriages.

In their image, things like horse-drawn carriages are only used by rich families, but now they are in their backyards.

Wouldn't this make An Jinchen excited and Runsheng curious?

The two of them walked to the backyard and looked at a black horse tied there eating grass. There was a carriage next to it against the wall.

They excitedly walked up to the black horse and wanted to touch it, but the horse slapped its nose and shook its head, pushing it aside.

Even so, this tall and strong black horse still conquered the two men, and the two of them almost slept with it in the backyard at night.

After getting to know the big black horse for two days, Runsheng couldn't help but drove the carriage drawn by the black horse and An Jinchen to sell braised pork.

The journey that originally took two hours every day arrived at Yunshui Pier in less than an hour today.

The two of them couldn't help but sigh, they should have bought this carriage long ago, and they wouldn't have to spend so long on the way back and forth.

Runsheng drove the carriage away, and An Chuxia had no choice but to take a book and lead the old cow abandoned by the two old guys to the foot of the mountain to graze.

The grass at the foot of the mountain is very lush, and the buffalo finally rested, puffing out their cheeks and looking very happy as they ate.

An Chuxia found a flat stone and moved it to the shade of a tree to sit and read. After a while, she was going to the provincial capital to take the provincial examination.

She tried her best to relax during this period and did not devote herself to intense studies like before.

Only by adjusting your body and mind to the best condition can you perform your best with full energy in the next nine days and six nights of the rural examination.

When An Chuxia saw the cows grazing honestly there, her eyes fell back on the travel notes in her hands.

The author's vivid and realistic descriptions of the mountains, rivers, local customs and customs in various places deeply attracted An Chuxia.

Even when danger approached, An Chuxia only had time to raise her arm to block it.

Then he rolled over to the side and stood up quickly.

The two big men who suddenly appeared here laughed arrogantly when they saw An Chuxia's embarrassed appearance.

One of the gangsters, who had a strong build and a sinister face, had a lustful look in his eyes and said in a dirty voice: "The little girl reacts very quickly, but I don't know how it tastes."

At this time, a man with a long face and short eyes standing nearby said softly to him: "Don't do unnecessary things, destroy her right hand, let's take the money and leave.

If you are caught by someone, be careful of getting a lawsuit.

If you have money, are you afraid that you won’t have women to play with?”

The villain's face was filled with regret when he heard these words, but he still listened to them.

The two of them held the daggers in their hands and walked towards An Chuxia who bent down to pick up a wooden stick from the ground.

An Chuxia weighed the wooden stick with a thick wrist in her hand, nodded with satisfaction, raised her head, narrowed her peach blossom eyes, and looked at the two people with a smile.

The two gangsters were stunned when they saw the expression on her face. Even at this moment, they didn't think that An Chuxia would pose any danger to them.
