The price of an ordinary horse in the capital is 25,000 cents. A good horse is 2-3 times that of an ordinary horse, which is 50,000-75,000 cents. According to the conversion rule that one tael of silver equals one thousand cents, a good horse is 50-
The price is 75 taels.
A thousand-mile horse is rare and worth thousands of gold, but it is also promoted and speculated. But the skinny horse in front of me, which no one cares about, can be sold at the price of a thousand-mile horse, so let’s pull it down!
Ye Zhenzhen immediately started bargaining mode, "You can tell at a glance that your horse is tired from pulling a cart. Who is willing to use a thousand-mile horse to cart? Don't brag. I will give you ten taels at most. If you don't sell us,
Just leave, let me see who still likes your horse."
If you cut two hundred taels down to ten taels, you will be able to make a living very well.
Not only the seller, but also Cui Weizhen, who was immersed in personal emotions, were stunned by Ye Zhenzhen's operation - he hadn't seen Ye Zhenzhen bargaining with others for a long time. Since her family became rich, she spent money on it.
He is a lavish spender of money, no less than a man from a former aristocratic family. He does not look like a peasant girl from a poor family.
The only thing that showed her virtue of being diligent and thrifty was when Cui Weizhen bought a bronze mirror for her when her family was poor, and she bargained with the vendor for the price.
But that time she bargained for half the price by ten, and this time it was even more severe, from a hundred to ten. If there was any change, it probably wouldn't even be counted as a change.
Cui Weizhen knew that the value of this horse was worth a thousand dollars in his heart, but he did not say anything and let Ye Zhenzhen do whatever he wanted.
The seller almost fell to his knees in front of Ye Zhenzhen.
He has never seen someone who is so good at bargaining. Generally speaking, some people are embarrassed if they want to bargain. Even if they want to bargain, the price will be half at most. These two people look well-dressed and well-off.
How could I have an income of one hundred taels? I didn't expect...
He cried sadly and said: "Little lady, you are too cruel. This is really a thousand-mile horse. It cost me fifty taels of silver to buy it. You only gave me ten taels of silver. Aren't you going to lose me to death?"
No matter what happens, you still have to give me fifty taels."
"hehe."
Ye Zhenzhen put on a mocking face, "Fifty taels to buy a thousand-mile horse? Just because you are stupid doesn't mean I am stupid! That's not how money is calculated. You bought this horse back at the expense of its health. I don't know how much I earned for you.
Two taels of silver, and now you want to sell it to me at the original price, you think too well, don’t you?”
The seller's face flushed with shame.
Even so, he still hesitated, because he felt that this was really a thousand-mile horse, and selling it for only ten taels of silver was too much of a loss.
He is not willing to sell, but many people are willing to sell.
The other horse owners who had listened to the whole process started shouting business, "Little lady, don't listen to that person's deceit. What's so good about a horse that's too skinny? Come and take a look at my horse. It's fat and strong."
Fengshen Junyi is bred from the official horse, and it is definitely a top-quality horse. It only costs thirty-five taels, and it will definitely not be a loss!"
That man's horses were definitely not fake. Each of them was tall, mighty, and full of energy. They were in sharp contrast to the skinny horses next to them.
Ye Zhenzhen showed a hint of excitement at the right moment and moved her steps to the side.
"Little lady, if you are not satisfied with the price of fifty taels, we can talk and make peace, but don't leave yet!"
The seller suddenly became anxious, and his eyes fell on Cui Weizhen. He saw that the gentleman liked this horse, and immediately persuaded him, "Mr. Lang, please persuade your wife, don't you like this horse?"
?”
Cui Weizhen let go of his hand on the horse's head, causing the horse to whimper sadly. He resisted looking at it and said with a calm expression, "My wife makes the decision in the family, and she also has the money. If she doesn't want to buy it, I will
There is nothing we can do.”
Seller: "..."
You, a grown man, actually have the nerve to say in public that you are a softie?
I really misjudged you!
Ye Zhenzhen was very happy. You know Cui Weizhen loves face and must maintain his image as the head of the family at all times. Unexpectedly, he had just come into contact with Zhou Xunting, whose husband was not in good terms, and his ideological attitude had changed significantly.
She decided that she would never stop him from making friends with Zhou Xunting in the future!
There is happiness only when there is contrast. It is indeed an eternal truth.
The couple, each with his or her own agenda, was about to leave. The seller was really anxious. He immediately slapped his thigh and said with a cut-off expression, "That's it. I've lost to you. Ten taels is ten taels."
!This thousand-mile horse belongs to you!"
Ye Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, "Okay, just twelve taels!"
"You hand over the money with one hand and the horse with the other, and you will never regret it."
As she wished, Ye Zhenzhen bought back a skinny horse that was not very majestic at the price of ten taels of silver. She did not like it in her heart, but she knew Cui Weizhen and judging from his expression, it seemed that he had a story with this horse.
So she asked, "Do you know this horse?"
Cui Weizhen is not surprised. Others may not be able to see his emotional expression, but those around him who have been sleeping with him for more than a year will definitely not miss it.
His eyes softened, with a nostalgic and sad look on his face, "This horse is called Hongyun, and it is indeed a thousand-mile horse. It was a colt given to me by my father when I first learned to ride a horse. Later, something happened to my father, and the slaves rebelled against the master.
Most of the things were stolen or sold, and Hongyun disappeared at that time."
It is not surprising that a traitorous slave would steal the property of his master and sell a thousand-mile horse for only fifty taels.
Cui Weizhen rarely mentioned past events with her. Ye Zhenzhen knew that the Cui family's property had been taken away, but she didn't expect that the slaves would also get involved. However, thinking about it, the Cui family's old slaves must have been the Cui family's servants.
The control is completely normal.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't want to see him sad, so she quickly changed the subject, "We haven't seen each other for so many years, how come you still recognize that this is your Hongyun?"
Hongyun is very spiritual. Hearing his name, he always looks at them happily and tenderly. His eyes are as gentle and intimate as if they are brimming with water. Even Ye Zhenzhen was moved by it. She gently smoothed his fur,
I was so well-behaved when I received its gentle nudge.
Cui Weizhen looked at the interaction between a man and a horse with a smile, and finally pointed to a scar on Hongyun's lower abdomen and explained, "When I first learned to ride a horse, my riding skills were not good. One time I failed to grasp the rope and flew off the horse. Hongyun rushed over in time to catch me.
As a result, it injured my lower abdomen and bled a lot, leaving this scar after the injury healed."
It was very safe for the little pony to go to school and ride a horse, but he was not satisfied with the slow speed and urged Hongyun to speed up, so he couldn't bear it and flew out.
Of course, there was no need to tell Ye Zhenzhen about such a shameful thing.
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't ride a horse, so she naturally didn't know the truth hidden by Cui Weizhen, and she didn't expect that he would have such a bold side, so she believed his words very simply.
After all, when she was learning to drive, she also scratched her car. It is perfectly normal for Cui Weizhen to "scratch" Hongyun.
She rubbed Hongyun's head tenderly and said with a smile, "So Hongyun is a hero. Come on, let's go home. We won't have to suffer outside anymore."
Hongyun seemed to understand, and snorted loudly. His eyes were wet, but his expression was unprecedentedly high-spirited.
