Chapter 139 Racecourse

 The food on the table has been removed, and several plates of exquisite pastries and a pot of tea have been served.

Gu Boyi and Cui He were sitting there drinking tea and chatting.

After Shen Jintang walked in, everyone turned their attention to her, and the air suddenly became quiet.

The woman who came in was wearing a moon-white riding outfit and looked heroic.

The dark patterns embroidered with silver thread shine brightly under the sunlight.

Except for the loose waist, the rest of the riding clothes are just right.

Although Shen Jintang is only fourteen years old this year, her height has grown a lot since the New Year, and she is now very slender and tall.

Now she is wearing this moon-white riding outfit, which perfectly outlines her figure.

The woman in front of me has lost her past gentleness and has a somewhat different heroic spirit.

The beautiful apricot eyes are bright and penetrating, and they seem to be able to see through people's hearts.

Gu Baiyi came to his senses first, looked at her with gentle eyes and praised: "Sister Shen, this riding outfit suits you very well."

Others also smiled and praised it.

After Shen Jintang put on his riding clothes, he thought of Zhang Yanyan and Tian Xiuyao.

It's been a long time since she invited the two of them out to play.

She smiled and said: "Brother Gu, I have two friends, can I invite them both together?"

Gu Boyi has a different identity. If he wants to invite Zhang Yanyan and Tian Xiuyao to come together, he must first obtain his consent.

Gu Baiyi nodded when he heard this: "Okay."

Shen Jintang turned his attention to Gu Jingnian, Cui He, Pei Yan and others, and they all smiled and expressed no objection.

Everyone believed in Shen Jintang's vision that a woman she could call a friend must not be a flatterer.

Shen Jintang looked at Bai Zhi and Qing Dai: "You two go and ask Yan Yan and Xiu Yao to go to the suburbs. We will wait for them there."

Qingdai and Bai Zhi quickly responded and turned around.

There is a horse farm on the outskirts of Yichang County and a green and wide grassland, which is perfect for learning to ride horses.

Shen Jintang looked at Gu Baiyi and others, smiled slightly and said, "Brother Gu, let's go too."

Gu Baiyi and others nodded.

The group of people walked out of the house one by one.

This time, Shen Jintang did not ride on the same horse as Gu Baiyi, but got on the carriage.

The carriage drove swaying all the way, and after half an hour, it finally arrived at the suburbs.

Shen Jintang was helped out of the carriage by Qingdai.

Gu Baiyi and others also got off their horses.

Their carriages and horses were parked not far from the racecourse.

Gu Baiyi looked at Shen Jintang and said in a clear voice: "Sister Shen, let's go to the racecourse to choose a horse for you first."

Shen Jintang nodded with a smile.

When she thought that she would be able to learn to ride a horse soon, even though she didn't show it on the outside, she was excited inside.

When I walked into the racecourse, I was immediately greeted by someone.

When you see that each of them is dressed in extraordinary clothes, has an outstanding temperament, and is full of nobility, you know that they are not ordinary people.

Of course, ordinary people generally cannot afford places like racecourses.

"Do you nobles want to buy horses? Or do you want to rent horses?" The visitor is the steward of the racecourse. He is in his thirties or forties, wearing a gray gown, with an easy-going face and a shrewd look in his eyes.

Naturally, Gu Baiyi would not reply to this kind of question.

Chi Qinghuai smiled when he heard the words and said: "Let's take a look first. If there is a good one, it won't be too late to buy it."

The steward at the racecourse has seen countless people, so he understood what he said.

I'm afraid these noble people have very high vision and ordinary horses can't catch their eye.

"Dear nobles, please come with me." He said slowly and respectfully: "Last night, a new batch of fine horses arrived at the racecourse. Their bloodlines are all pure. Let's see if any of you are interested in them."

Pei Yan nodded and said to him: "You lead the way."

"Eh."

The steward at the racecourse turned around and walked ahead to lead them.

The racecourse is very big, and there are six stewards alone.

After being introduced by the steward, his surname was Pan and he was a mid-level steward at the racecourse.

Above the mid-level stewards are senior stewards.

There are currently three junior stewards at the racecourse, two intermediate stewards, and one senior steward.

The management level in the racecourse is also determined based on sales performance.

The group of people followed Manager Pan to a stable.

The horses inside are tied in rows, and each one of them is eating grass with their heads down.

The colors include black, white, and maroon.

Steward Pan pointed to two of the maroon horses and said, "These two horses are sweat-blooded horses with pure blood. The nobles may take a fancy to them."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the two horses.

The maroon horse has translucent fur and is fat and strong. There is a diamond-shaped piece of white fur on its forehead.

They may also know that they are different from other horses, and their movements of lowering their heads to eat grass appear more graceful.

Ning Boxing and Song Yuanxiu liked it very much and looked at their two horses with bright eyes.

Gu Boyi's private stables already had several horses that were given to him by his imperial grandfather, so he seemed to be lacking in interest.

Shen Jintang already had two horses at home, and she had no plans to buy any. At this time, she just looked at the two horses a few more times.

"Pull this horse out and have a look." Gu Baiyi pointed to a white horse and said to Manager Pan.

Manager Pan responded immediately, stepped forward, untied the horse's reins, and pulled it out of the stable.

Manager Pan smiled and said to Gu Baiyi: "This horse has just grown up and has a very docile temper." After saying this, he glanced at Shen Jintang and then said: "It is suitable for women to ride."

Gu Baiyi was selected for Shen Jintang. He looked at Shen Jintang and asked with a smile: "How is this horse?"

Shen Jintang stepped forward and touched it. The horse's head tilted toward her and did not resist her touch.

Shen Jintang smiled: "Very good."

She is just learning to ride horses now, so it is naturally not suitable for her to choose a horse that is too hot-tempered.

Gu Baiyi nodded and said: "Then I'll settle on this one."

Ning Boxing and Song Yuanxiu also looked at the two bloody horses and were asking shopkeeper Pan about the price.

Shopkeeper Pan smiled and said: "I see that these nobles are all well-informed people. They must also know that hard-earned BMWs are not easy to come by, and the price is not cheap."

Ning Boxing nodded in agreement.

To be honest, he was quite surprised to see such a good horse like Sweathorse in a place like Yichang County.

Shopkeeper Pan continued: "Since these noble people know that this BMW is not easy to come by, I will just tell you the price."

Shopkeeper Pan smiled, stretched out five fingers and said: "A horse is worth fifty thousand taels of silver."

This price is indeed a real price.

There is a silver-white sweat-blooded horse in Gu Boyi's private stable, worth two hundred thousand taels.
