The gentleman hides the front [Comprehensive]

Chapter 9.What's the matter with Xiaoxiang? Wait for me to come back.

After Ye Qige and Gong Jiu separated, the first thing they went to was the busiest market by the pier.After all, going to the desert is far away, and even if she is a "strong and strong" Jiluo, Ye Qige has no confidence at all to walk on two legs.So even though there is no famous horse like Li Feisha here, she still needs to find a similar good horse to travel.

The name of this place is "Cuiping Mountain", and it is a relatively prosperous ferry between the Central Plains and the South China Sea.Because there are so many merchants coming and going, the market here is also extremely bustling and crowded.However, the people who govern this place are quite wise, and opened up a long street near the pier, which is specially used for merchants from all over the place to trade, or to sell their own products.

The long street is wide enough for two carriages to pass side by side.In order to prevent traffic jams, the entrance of the market was guarded by officers and soldiers from the government. Horses and carriages were prohibited, and pedestrians were all allowed to walk, or rent a small sedan chair carried by two people provided by the government.In short, it is to ensure the smooth traffic to the greatest extent.

Ye Qige chatted with the officers and soldiers guarding the entrance, and soon asked where the horses were sold in this street, and thanked him with a smile. Ye Qige carried the epee behind him, but walked away briskly go in.

As she walked, she sighed that the management here was really good.All shops are divided according to the types of products sold, which is convenient for buyers to shop around and brings more customers to sellers.

The place near the entrance usually sells small things such as spices, brocade silk, rouge and gouache, and further forward, there are some jewelry merchants. There are a variety of gold and silver jewelry in front of them. Most of the gold and silver jewelry and South China Sea specialty pearls and corals, and occasionally some jade and jade, are also very popular among the ladies and ladies who come and go.

After crossing a section of grain sales area, they arrived at the destination of Ye Qiege's trip.This is the most spacious area on this street, and as far as the eye can see, there are neat fences, inside which there are horses, cattle and sheep, all kinds of poultry, animals and game.It was clearly a place for selling living things, but it was very tidy and clean, and there was only a faint smell in the air, which was not as smelly as ordinary places.

Ye Qiege was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable—a person who can manage such a messy and bustling place in such an orderly manner would certainly not miss such details.

"I don't know who is in charge of this market. It's really a talent." Ye Qiege withdrew his gaze and couldn't help sighing.She was born in Hidden Sword Villa. Although Hidden Sword Villa is famous for its sword casting conference, but to be able to sit on such a large villa by the West Lake, the business dealings under her hands are indispensable.

And as a direct disciple of the big manor owner, although it is impossible for her to be obsessed with business dealings, Ye Qige can use the skills and experience that a businessman should have, even if he only relies on his ears and eyes.So she can still get a general idea of ​​all the famous places in this market.

Ye Qiege's voice of emotion was neither too loud nor too small, neither to appear rude, nor to be heard by the people around him.And she is dressed like a young son from a rich family. Although she is only dressed in plain white, the thin fur that is loosely draped over her body can be seen to be expensive.

The guys in the horse shop welcome and send them all the year round, so they naturally have extraordinary eyesight.It was immediately recognized that Ye Qiege was wearing a ferret fur cape, and even the simple and elegant hairpin on his head was made of rare suet white jade, so the clerk quickly came out with a smile on his face.

"Young master, this is a good insight. Our place was planned by Jin Jiuling, the big policeman himself. If he hadn't made friends with our prefect, the market you saw today would still be a mess. "The little guy gave Ye Qiege to his stall while making a "please" gesture.

Firstly, he became interested in what the man said, and secondly, it was because Ye Qiege looked around. It was true that the horses in this family were the best, so Ye Qiege did not hesitate too much, and left with the man from the horse shop. go in.

While listening to the assistant introduce the glorious deeds of Jin Jiuling, who was working in the Six Doors and was about to be promoted to chief arrester, Ye Qige carefully looked at the horses grazing in the stable.

Soon, when the guy was talking about Jin Jiuling's wit, he caught a bunch of bandits who robbed merchants, Ye Qige had already picked out a snow-white pony.

It's not that she doesn't know that in terms of endurance speed, the foal is far behind those tall adult horses.But Ye Qige always needs to face the reality. Even if she doesn't want to, she can only admit that with her current short legs, it is still difficult to reach the stirrups of those big horses.

I don't know if it was influenced by his previous life, but Ye Qiege's height in this life is also very tragic.In her previous life, she had been dressed in men's clothes until she was 16 years old, and she was extraordinarily heroic, but the reason why she had to change back to women's clothes after the age of 16 was...she was too petite.

Before the age of 16, Ye Qige was able to pretend to be an underage son, and even met a group of confidante girls.However, after the age of 16, the height gap between her and ordinary men widened, and she could no longer use the word "young" to prevaricate.Partly because there was really no other way, and partly because of some secretive thoughts, Ye Qiege could only bear the pain and risk being killed by his little beauties, and resolutely changed into women's clothes.

But in this life, it is clear that my elder brother is very tall among men. I heard from the old housekeeper that my father who has never met is about the same height as my elder brother, and my mother who has never met is also a tall and slender woman. Drinking milk, drinking bone soup, etc., but the height seems to be competing with her, and she is half a head shorter than the girls of the same age.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously unrealistic for Ye Qige to ride a grown-up horse that is much taller than her.This newly grown foal became her only choice.

Satisfied, he stroked the soft and smooth fur of the little white pony. Ye Qiege was about to tell his buddy that he wanted this one, when he suddenly heard a male voice behind him.

"The eyes are like hanging bells, with purple light, and the silkworms hanging under the eyes are chiseled. The nose has the characters Wang and Huo. The mouth is red. The knee bones are round and stretched. The ears are close and erect, small and thick. The keel is formed. The neck is long. The legs are big and protruding. The hooves are thick. The belly is flat and has a character horoscope. The tail is high and drooping. This little man really has good eyesight, and you have killed the fastest pony in this stable."

Ye Qiege turned around, only to see a young man in a crimson brocade robe standing not far behind him, holding an expensive emerald jade dragon fan in his hand.

Sensing Ye Qiege's staring gaze, he smiled at Ye Qiege, cupped his hands and said, "I'm Jin Jiuling, don't you know the young master's name?"

Isn't this the legendary "Say Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive"?Ye Qige raised his eyebrows, and smiled back at the man in front of him, but did not answer his question.

Seeing that the two of them were silent in embarrassment, the clerk in the horse shop rolled his eyes, and hurriedly came forward with a smile, and greeted Jin Jiuling, "Master Jin, why are you free? But the case is over?"

Jin Jiuling was handling a case here today, so the magistrate specially booked a high-class suite in the best restaurant in the town for him and his brothers from the six doors to eat, drink and rest. The guys in the horse shop also heard a little bit about it.Six Doors has always been busy handling cases, and now that Jin Jiuling has time to hang out here, the staff guessed that he handled the case smoothly, so it is right to flatter him to say this.

Jin Jiuling had a smug smile on his lips, and while looking at the new Mongolian pony in the stable, he said casually, "No, the bandit handsome Chu Liuxiang came back out of the rivers and lakes. In fact, he is just a deceitful person who borrowed his name from the world to steal his name." It’s all about making trouble in the name of Great Xia Chu.”

The man also laughed and said, "That's right, that's right, once Master Jin makes a move, those bullshit things will show their prototypes, won't they?"

Jin Jiuling slowly unfolded his folding fan, shook it twice, then looked at Ye Qie and sang, "Although the pony selected by the young master is good, it hasn't matured in the end, and its stamina and speed are far from enough. Speaking of which, Liu Yunju has always been good at speed, but in terms of carrying weight, it may be a little more difficult."

Ye Qige followed Jin Jiuling's gaze and looked at the epee behind him.She had to admit that this time it was indeed her lack of thoughtfulness.In her original world, even an epee with a hidden sword and a grown man were no problem for Li Feisha.But in Anqing, this epee weighing sixty catties was indeed shocking.

Abuse of child labor... Cough, children and horses are indeed unkind.

Smiling embarrassingly, Ye Qiege took off the rein and saddle that the buddy had just put on for her, and said to the buddy, "I need to look again, I'm really sorry."

The man naturally didn't dare to be dissatisfied, so Jin Jiuling also took advantage of the situation and pointed at the stables he had been observing for a long time, and said to Ye Qiege: "If you want to ride a horse, you might as well consider these Mongolian pony horses. Although not as handsome and unrestrained as Liu Yunju, but his stamina is excellent, and he is also suitable for carrying heavy loads."

Ye Qige looked in the direction Jin Jiuling pointed, and saw a few inconspicuous ponies in the somewhat remote stable.Ye Qiege wasn't an expert at spotting horses, but when she took a closer look, those pony horses were indeed as extraordinary as Jin Jiuling said.

According to the words, she chose a maroon adult pony, and Ye Qige handed a piece of gold to the clerk. The clerk quickly helped her put on the saddle and horseshoe, and after a while, he handed over the packed horse to Ye Qige .

After Ye Qige led the horse, Jin Jiuling, who had just helped him, nodded slightly, and prepared to continue on the road.At this time, Jin Jiuling, who had been looking at the horses, suddenly said, "Young Master Ye, stay here for now."

Ye Qige's eyes flickered slightly, but he paused for a moment before turning around.
