Tobero

To buy a horse, Tu Hao is the rightful owner, so he has no choice but to go in.

Finally, Xu Mingxu thought of a compromise, took a piece of handkerchief, folded it in half and tied it behind his head.

Tu Hao touched the simple mask and felt something was wrong: "Didn't I become a masked robber?"

"Just like you, are you still a thief?" Ye Dahua disapproved, "It's good that you don't get stolen."

As soon as Xu Mingxu heard this, he immediately held the mouse paw in his hand: "It makes sense, there are many people in the horse market, so be careful not to get lost."

Broker Ma, who had been waiting by the side for a while, didn't dare to urge him, and occasionally heard a few words, which frightened him a lot.Xu Mingxu is the magistrate of the county, he knows it.As for Tu Hao, he also vaguely knew something. After all, he was so young and he was an official from the capital, so there was only one of them in total.

As for the remaining two rich men dressed up, he didn't know where they came from.But looking at the entourage and guards around them, no matter how you look at it, they are not ordinary children from rich families.Hearing them talking about the barracks, they didn't dare to listen, instead they stood a little farther away.

Hearing Xu Mingxu's words now, he thought to himself: You have so many people, you have surrounded a young gentleman three times, how can you still lose it?

He only dared to think in his heart, bowed his body slightly, and compared the road ahead: "Young masters, this way."

Tu Hao was wearing a veil, not a gas mask, the smell was only a little less, far from completely disappearing, so he wanted to make a quick decision, and when he heard Manager Ma's words, he was the first to follow: " Let's go!" Turning to Xu Mingxu, "Let's just buy the first one we see?"

"Okay, okay." Xu Mingxu echoed his words, but he made up his mind in his heart that he must choose a good horse for him, not only with a docile personality, but also with a good-looking coat color, preferably pure white.

After thinking about it, he felt that pure white horses were relatively rare, so he decided that a pure black horse would be fine.

Among the few people present, except for Tu Hao who was a complete amateur, the others were more or less particular about horses.

Both Ye Dahua and Zhang Tuantuan belong to the origin of family education.Their knowledge of horses, which they have learned from childhood, can only be called common sense at best.

Xu Mingxu didn't have such qualifications, but he learned how to treat common diseases of horses when he was in Wanchun Village, and he even opened a horse farm for three years when he was in Anchang County.The horses he has been in contact with are probably not comparable to all the people present.

The horse broker understands that he is not needed in horse selection, his role is to negotiate a good price for these nobles.

Tu Hao's purpose was clear: "I want to buy a tall horse." After speaking, he made a false gesture with his hand to show a height.

The others unanimously decided: "Buy a mare." And added, "A shorter one."

Tu Hao quit: "What's the point? I buy the horse, or you? I pay, or you?"

The three of them looked at each other quickly, and quickly came to a consensus: "We will pay you to buy it." Although the horses are expensive, they have to be distributed.The relative price of a mare is not so high, and it can be shared among three people, which is completely affordable.

Tu Hao was still unhappy: "No, I'm not short of that money!"

"Then you'll buy us a big horse?" Ye Dahua said that he was open to negotiation.

Several people argued for a while, and finally Xu Mingxu thought of a compromise: "Why don't we go and see the pony first? Only those who have been raised since childhood are obedient."

Tu Hao thought for a while, and felt that it made sense: "Listen to brother."

Others think it makes sense.For Tu Hao, riding a horse is good enough for him to take a stroll or two once in a while.An adult horse is too much of a threat to Tu Hao, so a foal is better.Even if he grows into a tall horse in the future, Tu Hao will be an adult by then, and his physique will not be as bad as it is now, and he can completely manage it.

So the group turned a corner and went to see the pony.

There are still relatively few people selling foals, but they are all well taken care of.

Tu Hao looked left and right, and found that he liked it.The little pony's personality is also relatively docile, seeing him obediently let Momo's head and fur.

The little mouse was so cute that he couldn't restrain himself. He thought this horse was cute, and that one was also cute. Looking at the big watery eyes of the little pony, he didn't dislike the smell anymore, so he asked the horse broker to inquire about the price.

Xu Mingxu saw that the three foals were all healthy and well-bred, so he didn't object, since they couldn't afford them anyway.

Ye Dahua and Zhang Tuantuan studied the appearance of the pony, and they thought it was not bad. It would definitely not be possible to grow into a good horse for thousands of miles, but it is still possible to run for a while and pull a carriage.

After a while, the horse broker negotiated the price: "The price is not bad. Mr. Tu, which horse do you want?"

Tu Tuhao opened his mouth: "I want it all." Tu Tuhao is not short of money.

Broker Ma opened his mouth, looked at Xu Mingxu and the others, and found that there was no objection, so he nodded reluctantly: "Okay, villain, I will go and discuss with the horse dealer."

The horse market is not big, there are only three foals in total.Raising horses is a labor-intensive job.Generally, one horse is enough for people. When the horse is old, they will think about buying a younger horse.Who buys three at a time?Besides, raising a foal is not easy.The foal is not as strong as an adult horse, and although it is not so easy to get sick, it is not as worry-free as an adult horse.

Three ponies belonged to three horse dealers.The current main currency in circulation is copper coins. No matter how cheap the price of the three horses is, it is impossible for Tu Hao to bring the copper coins directly on the carriage.Let them follow suit now.

Although they are three ponies, the horse dealers feel auspicious to be able to negotiate the first sale so smoothly, not to mention the price is not bad. After hearing that the county magistrate bought them, I feel a little regretful and should take the initiative Lower the price a little more.After all, they come to Mashi every year, and if they can establish a good relationship with the local county magistrate, there will definitely be a lot of benefits.

However, no matter how much they think about it now, it will be an afterthought. They took a closer look at the faces of Xu Mingxu and his party, and found that there was nothing wrong, so they were relieved, let the staff watch at the horse market, and followed to withdraw the money.

Tu Hao exchanged three boxes of copper coins for three ponies, and happily bathed and fed the ponies in the stables, imagining that he would ride three times alone in the future: "At that time, we will travel day and night, one thousand a day, and eight nights." [-]. You go first for Ciba, second for tea eggs, and last for jujube cake.”

Ye Dahua and Xu Mingxu took turns to stare at him. Seeing him happy, they didn't try to break his fantasy, but just laughed in their hearts.Ye Dahua even felt a sense of comfort, and murmured: "Little mouse is a little weaker, but he is still our general's son in his bones."

As for Xu Mingxu, he was happy at first, but he soon became unhappy.Standing by the side of the stable, he pulled the wet little mouse to his side: "Are you taking a bath with the horse?"

Tu Hao ignored him, and ordered someone to make a nursery for the ponies in the stable: "Has the grass been sun-dried? The ground needs to be swept clean. Ask Dr. Wen for some deworming medicine, burn it and fumigate it." Touched the heads of the three ponies that came over, "Good boy, from now on we will poop outside and use the latrine inside the house, and we can't defecate anywhere. If we don't know what to do, we should tell Daddy..." As he spoke, he Suddenly found that the altitude has risen, "Huh?"

Xu Mingxu didn't answer him, and directly lifted the little mouse to the bathroom.

As early as when Tu Hao was about to wash the pony himself, the servants had already obediently prepared bath water for him.Right now the temperature is just right.

"Hey, hey?" Tu Hao finally came to his senses, he protected his waistband, didn't block his stripped coat, protected his middle coat, and was taken off his trousers in a matter of seconds. He was completely naked, and quickly jumped into the tub by himself, blushing and staring at him unhappy, "Brother, how could you do this?"

Xu Mingxu looked at his red face, leaned up and kissed him: "Still shy towards me?"

Tu Hao only felt that the temperature of the water rose instantly, and his whole body was about to boil until it melted.Kiss what?As a beauty, can she be so unreserved?

Xu Mingxu just thought that the shy little mouse was so cute no matter how he looked, he wanted to kiss not only his face, but also everywhere, but he was so shy, so he refrained from making trouble with him, took a stool and sat down, He took another batch of things and prepared them, and said, "Sit down obediently, and brother will wash your hair."

In the usual way, Xu Mingxu was kicked out by Tu Mouse so early, but today he was extraordinarily honest, kept silent, and finally let him get dressed after taking a shower.

Xu Mingxu was still earnestly admonishing: "It's okay to bathe the pony in the future, but I should also take a hot bath right away, so as not to catch a cold."

"Oh." The beauty said what she said.It's a shame to be hugged by a beauty princess.

After taking a very shameful bath, Tu Hao became honest in an instant, and he didn't act like a demon until the next day before going to work. He just went to the stables in the morning to touch the ponies one by one. Dare to kiss.Really, the pony is so cute and clean, what's wrong with a kiss?It's really helpless for a beauty to be so jealous.

Xu Mingxu watched closely from the sidelines, seeing that he didn't linger much, he dragged him to the front yamen together, and led him to the side room.

Feeling that the wing room was still a little cold in the morning, he ordered to light a charcoal basin: "Wait for the wing room to heat up before removing it."

After Tu Hao and the others left, he protested softly: "Really, am I such a delicate person?"

After all, he was in the yamen and not at home, so Qi Qi, who was serving on the sidelines, held back and didn't complain: You are not that delicate, you are even more delicate than this.

Several other people present also kept silent because of the boss's face, but the work at hand was even busier.

Seeing this, Tu Hao let out a low "tch", and after seeing the itinerary Qi Qi gave him today, he asked, "The people from Jiangdan Wooden Warehouse should arrive in two days, right?"

There is no instant messaging facility these days, and it takes a lot of time to notify a message, and it is very inconvenient to travel.In the past, his territory was just that part of the capital, so it didn't feel special.Now Taiping County is not too far from the capital, but he can't get accurate information in time, which makes him feel very awkward.

Qi Qi replied in a low voice: "The letter was delivered five days ago, count the days, and it will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

The management of Jiangdan Community was deeply influenced by Tu Hao, and they paid special attention to efficiency.The letter Tu Hao sent to the capital made it very clear that it was not difficult to choose who was needed to do what kind of work.After receiving the letter, the main person in charge must pack lightly and go on the road, and the rest of the other things that are needed will be escorted later.

Besides, Taiping County is prosperous, so there is no need to prepare too many other things.After all, this is just a pre-exploration team, who will stay and who needs to relocate, these are not things that need to be considered at the moment.

When the six new assistants in the side room heard about this time, they all found it incredible.This is not too urgent, besides who will come and who will not come, there are many things that need to be done.Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?You can't leave as soon as you receive the letter, can you?

People can't stand talking about it.Tu Hao just said this in the morning, and before lunch, someone came to announce: "The people from Jiangdan Woodware Workshop are here."
