Xie Boting didn't understand what Su Ji said, but he was very sure that it was the first time he saw this horse, so there was no way he could tell that it belonged to him.
But Su Ji has been looking for him for a long time. Could it be that the emperor rewarded him?
This thought flashed across his mind, but was rejected by Xie Boting. Even if the emperor wanted to reward him with a horse, he would not directly take it to the Jingnan Palace, but would reward him in person.
Xie Boting looked at Su Ji, "Why is it mine?"
Su Ji stroked the horse's mane and said, "It's a long story..."
The thing is like this, Prince Xin wanted to form an iron cavalry and buy horses. In the past two days, the two largest horse-raising families in Ning Dynasty, the Lu family and the Li family, came to Beijing. Prince Xin originally wanted to leave this job to Yun.
It's just that Yun Yi is not good at bargaining, so Su Hongshan asked Su Ji to do this.
Su Ji had nothing to do, so she accepted the errand, and then went to the Lu family and the head of the Li family to discuss the price of the horses. She went to the Li family first, but unfortunately, the eldest young master of the Li family was not there, so Su Ji went to find the horse.
The eldest young master of the Lu family.
Ordinary horses are quite expensive. War horses are generally more than ten or twenty taels, and better ones are even more expensive. The Lu family offers eighty taels per horse, while Su Ji's price is sixty-nine taels.
The Lu family was not very satisfied with this price, and neither was Su Ji.
However, a sale, especially a sale of such a large amount, cannot be concluded at once, and it is not a one-time deal.
When the iron cavalry goes to the battlefield, it is inevitable that there will be losses. A thousand iron cavalry will lose at least fifty horses a year. When it goes to the battlefield, the losses will be even more severe. Every year it will suffer losses.
In addition, it was a huge expense for the court.
The first time they were just talking about it, Su Ji had a good impression of the eldest young master of the Lu family and wanted to see the horses of the Lu family, so the eldest young master of the Lu family took Su Ji to the horse racing stable.
The Lu family did not bring many horses this time, but there were twenty or thirty horses, ten good horses, ten medium horses, and ten inferior horses, with distinct grades.
Su Ji looked from horse to horse, and then saw a horse locked alone in a stable.
Almost at a glance, Su Ji fell in love with the horse.
Ah bah!
This is a divine description.
But Su Ji really fell in love with the horse at first sight, and it got into her eyes and she couldn't pull it out.
The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. Su Ji raised her hand and asked the eldest young master of the Lu family, "How did you sell this horse?"
The eldest young master of the Lu family kept coughing, and the third young master of the Lu family said, "This horse is not for sale."
Su Ji really liked it, so she said, "The price is negotiable."
Although he has no money.
But he has too many rich brothers.
It should be easy to borrow money to buy a horse.
The third young master of the Lu family knew Su Ji's identity and said truthfully, "My eldest brother is suffering from a chronic illness. In addition to discussing business this time, he also wanted to seek medical treatment from the world-famous Dr. Jia. However, the whereabouts of Dr. Jia are only the crown prince of Jingnan."
Concubine knows that our Lu family has been raising horses for generations, and there is nothing we can do except horses."
"This is the best horse in our Lu family. It can travel thousands of miles a day and eight hundred miles at night, and it will not be exchanged for a thousand pieces of gold. I plan to give it to the Prince of Jingnan to ask him to help Dr. Jia treat his illness. I hope Master Su will forgive me."
"
When Su Ji heard this, she patted the third young master of the Lu family on the shoulder and said, "Do you know what the relationship between me and Prince Jingnan is?"
Third Young Master Lu said, "You are the brother-in-law of Prince Jingnan."
"It's good to know," Su Ji smiled.
Su Ji was going to go find Xie Boting. Since the Lu family wanted to ask Xie Boting, the price of the horse had dropped by three taels in Su Ji's heart. But right now, his mind was still on this horse. He liked it so much.
Unable to resist, Su Ji wanted to get on the horse and try it out.
The third young master Lu wanted to stop him, but the eldest young master of the Li family stopped him with his eyes. He only said to Su Ji, "This horse has a fierce temper. Young master Su, be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ji was knocked to the ground by the horse due to his negligence.
The horse's temper also suited him.
Su Ji got on the horse again. It took her half an hour and almost being thrown off several times before she could tame the horse.
After two laps at the racecourse, it was not enough. Su Ji said, "Do you mind if I ride out for a couple of laps?" This chapter has been completed!
