Cao Shou, the great-grandson of Cao Shen, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty. No matter what his ancestor looked like, he had excellent genes over the past hundred years, and he was outstanding in terms of spirit, temperament, and appearance.
A bay-red horse was very impressive. Although it was not as good as Huo Jin's Black Wind, it was much better than the other horses brought by Su Ren. After getting off the horse, Cao Shou gracefully stood there. Wei Qing threw himself in front of Cao Shou: "Master, you
Finally here! Let me introduce you to Brother Su Rensu, a businessman from Shu County!"
Cao Shou nodded slightly to Su Ren, with a cool and unrestrained expression. If there were thousands of young girls, they would be fascinated by him. Su Ren did not dare to entrust him, so he quickly saluted and paid homage: "The villain Su Ren has met Marquis Pingyang!"
Cao Shouxian pulled Wei Qing up, turned to look at the dozens of horses by the river, and nodded: "Yes, they are all good horses!" Then he said to Su Ren: "Get up! Since we are here, let's go
We'll talk about it at the racecourse." After that, he got on his horse, took his generals and guards with him, and rode off along the original road.
Su Ren knelt on the ground for a long time, then stood up with the help of Huo Jin and Huang Shisan. There were pebbles everywhere on the river. As soon as he knelt down, he regretted it, but it took a long time for Cao Shou to let him get up, so he just
I can kneel down. I lift up my clothes and pull up my trouser legs. My knees are already a little red and swollen.
Huo Jin said angrily: "Isn't this Marquis Pingyang too arrogant? He actually ignored us. It seems that we are not as good as those horses!"
Leng Jun did not kneel down from beginning to end. As a descendant of the Xiang family, he would never kneel down in front of the Liu family or Liu family's accomplices. He nodded with a dark face and said: "You are a dandy, relying on the virtue of your ancestors to reach your high position today."
, If we push it forward a hundred years, it will have been chopped into meat and fed to dogs!"
Su Ren rubbed his red and swollen knees and smiled: "Who can let people have a good father? This is the era of fighting for fathers."
You can complain, but things have to go on. After driving the horses to the racecourse, as soon as they entered the racecourse, the grooms and stableboys sent by Pingyang Marquis took over Su Ren's horses without saying anything. Su Ren sighed and stopped himself.
There was a conflict between the guards and grooms and the people sent by Marquis Pingyang, and they watched helplessly as their horses were taken away.
Wei Qing stood not far away and felt a little embarrassed. He bowed his hands to Su Ren and apologized: "Brother Su, my master is not usually like this, but for some reason today! I will tell him right now and ask him to treat you well!"
Su Ren grabbed Wei Qing and said, "It doesn't matter. Marquis Pingyang must have his reasons for doing this. We'll just wait."
Cao Shou only showed his face, but never came out again. The person sent to discuss with Su Ren was Chief Yang from the racecourse. Chief Yang was very polite, and he was very polite in his words and actions. He invited Su Ren and others into the house and sent someone to get them.
We had wine and food, and started talking business while eating.
"Mr. Su, the horses you brought are indeed good. My master likes them very much, so he decided to buy them!" Leader Yang toasted Su Ren with a glass of wine: "According to the current horse price, my master is willing to pay 20,000 yuan!"
Su Ren took a sip of wine: "I wonder if it's 20,000 yuan for one horse, or 20,000 yuan for the whole horse?"
"this one……!"
"You are committing an open robbery!" Hawking shot several cases and stood up in a loud voice: "I want to buy them all for 20,000 yuan. Isn't such a good horse worth the price of a sheep?"
Leng Jun pushed Huo Jin down and sat there, angry. Leader Yang chuckled: "Several of you are businessmen. Naturally, you know that this business requires high prices and you will pay back the money on the spot. Let's make a price first. If you don't
If you are willing, we can discuss it again! You can ask some of us, our Pingyang Marquis Mansion has never done anything to bully the people."
"This is indeed the truth!" Su Ren nodded: "I have been in Pingyang for a few days, and I also know a little about the affairs of the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion. The whole of Pingyang is praising the benevolence, justice and peace of Pingyang Marquis."
"Since Chief Yang said so, let's continue talking. According to the current horse market in our country, an ordinary horse only costs eight or nine hundred yuan, and a better war horse costs more than a thousand yuan. Chief Yang has also seen these horses of mine.
It is naturally stronger than ordinary war horses, so I mean two thousand dollars, what do you think, Leader Yang?"
Leader Yang nodded repeatedly: "You are a merchant after all, and you know everything about the horse market in detail, but you can't look at it this way. This time you took the initiative to sell horses to me, Pingyang Marquis Mansion, so the price has to be lowered! At most
Thirty thousand dollars!”
Su Ren smiled: "I brought a total of fifty-two war horses, worth thirty thousand dollars, each of which is less than six hundred dollars. As my brother said, it is indeed less than the price of a sheep. Since Leader Yang said it, I
Just lower it to 80,000 yuan, which is the final lowest price!"
"forty thousand!"
"Seventy thousand!"
"fifty thousand!"
"Okay! Just fifty thousand!" Su Ren nodded in agreement.
Leader Yang was stunned. He had never thought of the price. He couldn't help but be stunned and didn't know what to say.
Su Ren stood up and picked up the wine glass: "Just fifty thousand dollars! What do you think, Leader Yang?"
"Young Master is really willing to sell it for 50,000 yuan?"
Su Ren nodded: "My man is true to his word. The price sounds really cheap, even less than the price of ordinary war horses. It's natural for Leader Yang not to believe it. I'll say it again now, the fifty-two war horses I brought,
I am willing to sell it to Pingyang Hou Mansion for 50,000 yuan!"
Leader Yang was overjoyed: "Okay! Come, let's drink this cup!"
Su Ren waved his hand: "Chief Yang, wait a moment, I haven't finished speaking yet! These horses are all high-quality war horses, and they have no choice but to sell them at such a low price, so I have two requirements. First, I want to see them in this racecourse.
My horses are treated well by you. Secondly, I want to meet Pingyang Hou! If Pingyang Hou can agree to my condition, these war horses will be sold for 50,000 yuan. In addition, I promise that if there are good war horses in the future, I will also give them away.
Come to Pingyang!”
Leader Yang looked at Su Ren's serious words and didn't sound like he was joking. He slowly put down the wine glass he picked up: "Well..., I'm afraid...!"
Su Rendao: "If Marquis Pingyang does not agree to these two conditions, even if your Marquis Pingyang Mansion offers 100,000 or even 200,000 yuan, my horse will not be sold!"
"This..." Leader Yang was a little anxious and thought for a while: "Let's do this! I need to report this to Marquis Pingyang. As for whether the young master can agree to the two conditions, I can't guarantee it!"
"Of course!" Su Ren drank his wine first and smiled at Leader Yang.
Cao Shou was behind the screen and could hear what happened in front of him clearly. Wei Qing stood beside Cao Shou, pouring wine and serving dishes for Cao Shou diligently. He also heard the conversation outside. He wanted to say something for Su Ren, but he
I didn't dare. Since Cao Shou wanted to eavesdrop, as a domestic slave, I couldn't ruin Cao Shou's affairs. When the banquet outside really started, Cao Shou slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back and walked back.
Wei Qing grabbed Cao Shou's outer robe and hurriedly followed. Speaking of Cao Shou, he was not very old. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old this year. Because he inherited the title of his father, Marquis of Pingyang, and married a princess, he became one of the best in Pingyang.
A man of great influence among thousands of people.
Putting on Cao Shou's coat, Wei Qing whispered: "Master, Brother Su and the others have brought good horses. You..."
Cao Shou smiled slightly: "You don't understand, Su Ren didn't come here to sell horses, he just wanted to stay at the racecourse!"
"Ah! Why is this? Looking at Brother Su, it's no exaggeration to say that he is well-dressed and well-fed. Why are you staying at our racecourse? Do you want to herd horses for the master?"
"Hahaha..." Cao Shou laughed and did not explain further.
After not staying at the racecourse for long, Cao Shou returned to Pingyang Houfu and went into his study as soon as he entered the house. The study was brightly lit, and Wang Hui and Jingzhao Yin Ji'an hurriedly came forward to salute. After the ceremony, the three of them
Sit down according to the rules and send all the servants and servants out.
Cao Shou took a sip of tea. This was a new tea that he asked someone to get from Chengdu. It has a fragrant smell and a sweet taste: "The tea grass cooked like this by Su Ren has a unique flavor. It is really good for me to drink the tea soup after tasting it."
It’s hard to swallow.”
Wang Hui smiled slightly: "Marquis Pingyang met Su Ren today. What do you think of this person?"
"Traitor!" Cao Shou summed up Su Ren in one word.
Ji An nodded: "What Pingyang Marquis said is very accurate. Su Ren is good at planning and inferring people's hearts. He also has many fantastic ideas. He is definitely not something that can be found in a pond. Time is limitless!"
Wang Hui nodded: "Yes! Although this man is young, he knows more about world affairs than us. Who knows what he can do in a few years! Your Majesty will arrive in Pingyang soon. How will the Marquis of Pingyang plan to arrange this Su Ren?
?This time, it seems that he is determined not to give up until His Majesty is seen!"
Cao Shou smiled: "It's not how I arrange the family. They have already offered to stay at my horse farm and want to see me! Otherwise, the fifty-two horses will be taken away!"
"The goal is very clear!" Ji An said: "What does Marquis Pingyang mean...?"
Cao Shou said: "You go back immediately and report to Your Majesty that I want to meet this person. If this person is useful, it's okay for Your Majesty to meet him once. If this person is not useful, it's better to do it as soon as possible..."
Cao Shou didn't say the last two words, but Wang Hui and Ji An knew it in their hearts. They didn't ask any more questions, got up and said goodbye and went out. Cao Shou was the only one left in the study. After thinking for a moment, he called someone in: "
You go to the racecourse and tell Yang Tou that I agree to the second condition of Su Ren, and we can wait until we meet to talk about the first one!"
After a drink, he went to bed early. A room was specially prepared for a few people in the racecourse. Hawking fell asleep soundly, while Huang Shisan sat at the door and took a nap. Neither Su Ren nor Leng Jun could sleep. There was a couch and a
Sitting here, one sitting there, looking at each other, no one said anything. It was getting darker and darker, and after the moon rose, the insects immediately became manic. This is the feeling after autumn, the little insects that have been struggling all summer
Only at this time can you release your greatest energy and prepare for reproduction in the coming year.
"Do you think Cao Shou will agree to meet you?" Leng Jun asked first: "Even if Cao Shou agrees to meet you, he will not introduce you to the emperor!"
"I had no intention of meeting the emperor!" Su Ren said with a smile: "Who is the emperor? You can meet him if you want? Besides, if the empress dowager allows the emperor to come out, how can she not send someone to watch? It's better to talk to Cao Shou and let him
Telling the emperor is much easier than meeting the emperor directly!"
"Then how sure are you?"
"One percent!"
"ah!"
Huang Shisan suddenly woke up and as soon as he put his hand on the hilt of the sword, there was a knock on the door. Huang Shisan looked back at Su Ren and asked: "Who?"
"Brother Su, are you here? I'm Wei Qing!"
