Chapter 319

Zhang Xiaohua held a long sword in her hand and crossed her hands in front of her body. She looked up at the many white clouds floating in the sky. No one knew what she was thinking.

Xiaohua Ji took the steamed buns and happily walked into the small house.

"Mother, look what I brought back for you?"

Just as she stepped into the small house, Xiaohua Ji shouted.

"Xiaohua, why did you come back so early?" Ji Xiaohua's mother asked strangely, ignoring her question.

"Mother, I met a young master in the tea shed. He asked me to take him to do something. He also said that he would give me ten coins a day. Oh, it's eleven coins. Look, these are the steamed buns he invited me to eat. He also asked me to bring back two trays for you."

"What?

Who told you to run out of the tea shed so easily?

I asked Father Hao, who was on the streets, to find it for you. It was not easy. "

"This, mother, I know, but …"

"No buts. You really have guts. Who dares to believe you? If others deceive you, how do you want mother to live?"

"Mother, this young master is really good, and … and, the shopkeeper of the tea shed already doesn't let me go there anymore."

"Ai, you, Xiaohua, why don't you let mother worry."

After speaking, she struggled to get up from the bed. Xiaohua Ji hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "Mother, you rest, I will feed you steamed buns."

Xiaohua Ji's mother didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "You, Xiaohua, why can't you grow up?"

"What's wrong?

Mother … "Xiaohua Ji was very puzzled.

Xiaohua Ji's mother lovingly looked at her son, who was just nine years old. She knew that he was still very childish. She explained, "He is the young master of a large family. He came to our house and gave us something to eat. No matter what, we have to meet him and thank him, and …"

After pausing for a moment, she continued, "In the end, he is a stranger. Mother also needs to meet him. Don't let him deceive you."

Ji Xiaohua sensibly nodded her head. She helped her mother get her outer garment and shoes, and then helped her mother out of the room.

When Zhang Xiaohua saw him come out, she quickly went forward and wanted to greet him. The woman rushed to greet him and said, "Young Master, this lowly concubine Zhang greets Young Master."

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "Auntie, you're welcome. You're not in good health, so you should rest in the house."

Madam Zhang was in her thirties, but her hair was already white. At first glance, she looked even older than Guo Sufei a few years ago. It was no wonder that Zhang Xiaohua called her auntie the moment she arrived. In fact, he didn't know what to call her.

Mrs. Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "Young master, don't be like this. This lowly concubine can't afford it. Just call me Mrs. Zhang."

As he spoke, he coughed a few more times.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Then it's better to call you Aunt Zhang."

Madam Zhang repeatedly said that she didn't dare. Then, she carefully sized up Zhang Xiaohua and thought to herself, "Hmm, this young master is not bad. He is very approachable and doesn't have the air of a young master. Look at the long robe he is wearing, which is unique in Songning City. Moreover, he looks very kind and doesn't have a trace of darkness. Just looking at him makes people feel at ease."

Nonsense, this fellow was originally a kind-hearted country boy. How could he have the misgivings in Madam Zhang's heart?

Madam Zhang coughed for a while and said, "What does Young Master want Xiaohua to do for you?

If it's convenient, can you tell this lowly concubine? "

When Zhang Xiaohua heard the two words "Xiaohua", he felt both strange and familiar. He smiled and said, "It's nothing. Aunt Zhang, I'm not from here. Just now, I was almost cheated in Ji Xiaohua's teahouse. Thanks to Ji Xiaohua's reminder, I thought that I might encounter some trouble in Songning Town, so I wanted to find a local to guide me and help me bargain so that people wouldn't cheat me. I saw that Ji Xiaohua is very clever and dutiful, so I wanted him to help me. However, I also caused him to be fired by the teahouse owner. Don't worry, I will compensate him."

Zhang Xiaohua kept saying "Ji Xiaohua", but he couldn't say the two words "Xiaohua" no matter what.

When Madam Zhang heard this, a stone fell to the ground. She coughed and said, "In that case, let Xiaohua follow Young Master for a few days. However, don't mention the compensation. Since he helped Young Master, he can only take Young Master's share of the money. Xiaohua should understand this."

Zhang Xiaohua waved his hand and said, "It's fine, Aunt Zhang. Actually, it's just helping me buy a horse and asking about some things. It won't take a few days, probably half a day."

Madam Zhang's expression didn't change, but Ji Xiaohua next to her was greatly disappointed. He wanted to earn more money, but today, he only earned eleven copper coins.

Madam Zhang turned to Xiaohua and said, "Xiaohua, go and follow Young Master. Be careful and don't get cheated. Go quickly and come back quickly."

Ji Xiaohua nodded his head and stood beside Zhang Xiaohua.

After Zhang Xiaohua saluted Madam Zhang, he took Ji Xiaohua out of the small courtyard.

When they walked out of the small courtyard, Ji Xiaohua deliberately turned his head and shouted, "Niangqin, eat the steamed buns while they're hot. By the way, eat a vegetable steamed bun first, then eat a meat steamed bun."

Madam Zhang coughed and nodded her head with a smile, but her footsteps didn't slow down even half an inch.

After leaving Ji Xiaohua's house, the first thing Zhang Xiaohua did was to ask him to bring her to a ready-made clothing store. She bought a set of very ordinary clothes and wore them outside. That was because anyone who wore strange clothes would be stared at wherever they went. The first thing Zhang Xiaohua did was to find ordinary clothes to change into.

However, Zhang Xiaohua was already immune to cold and heat. That black robe was obviously a good thing. He took it and was willing to take it off. He just wore it inside.

As the saying goes, people rely on their clothes and horses rely on their saddle.

When Zhang Xiaohua changed into ordinary clothes, he immediately became ordinary. He no longer had the aura of a young master. Ji Xiaohua praised from the side, "Young master, you're really amazing. After changing your clothes, you look like an ordinary person and not a young master."

Zhang Xiaohua curled his lips and secretly said, "Isn't this nonsense? He doesn't look like a young master. He's just an ordinary person. Where did this young master come from?"

After changing the clothes, the effect was obvious. On the street, no one looked at the two ordinary young people.

Even when Zhang Xiaohua and others came to the horse market to choose horses, no one paid attention to them.

Fortunately, Xiaohua was a local and was very familiar with this place. Not long after, he helped them find a shop with a good reputation. The shop assistant's attitude towards the two was average and didn't discriminate too much. This made Zhang Xiaohua very satisfied. However, when it came to choosing horses, the shop assistant was very dissatisfied.

Why?

No matter what horse the shop assistant recommended, the tall and seemingly inconspicuous young man shook his head and didn't even take a step closer. After looking at eight horses in a row, the shop assistant was very tired. Even Xiaohua, who was standing at the side and preparing to help bargain, was full of doubts.

In the end, the shop assistant couldn't take it anymore and asked, "Brother, are you here to make trouble or to buy horses?

I've already taken eight horses, and you said no after taking a look. You didn't even walk close. How do you know that it's not to your liking? "

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "It's not that I can't forget you, but these horses are not suitable. The horses I want are not ordinary horses."

The shop assistant was surprised and said, "If it's not an ordinary flattery, then what should it be like?"

After thinking, Zhang Xiaohua said, "It should be the kind that can carry heavy loads."

"Heavy loads?" The shop assistant was stunned and said, "How heavy should it be?"

"Oh, three to four thousand catties."

"What?

Three to four thousand catties, not three to four hundred catties? "The shop assistant said in disbelief," Are you sure? "

Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, it's a thousand catties, not a hundred catties."

The shop assistant shook his head like a rattle-drum and said, "That's impossible. I've never heard of a horse that can carry three to four thousand catties. You want a cow, right? Oh, no, the legendary camel."

Ji Xiaohua, who was standing at the side, seemed to understand at this time. She looked thoughtfully at the long sword in Zhang Xiaohua's hand.

The shop assistant only thought that Zhang Xiaohua was tricking him and didn't take it to heart. He was about to greet the other customers when Xiaohua hurried forward and said with a smile, "Big brother, don't misunderstand. My family's young master has some special requirements. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to your shop. Is your shopkeeper here?

Perhaps the old man has some ideas? "

Ji Xiaohua was not very old. In the eyes of the waiter, he was just a clever page boy. The waiter pondered for a while and then went into the inner room. Not long after, a tall and sturdy man came out from the inner room. He frowned and looked at the inconspicuous Zhang Xiaohua from head to toe. Then, he asked, "Young Master?

The horse you want is really not available in this shop. Why don't you go to another stables to look? "

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and cupped her hands and said, "Then I'll have to trouble shopkeeper. By the way, can you let me see your best horse?"

"This …" The sturdy man hesitated.

Ji Xiaohua smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, don't be afraid. If it suits my family's young master, you will be rewarded.

Quickly go and bring it over! "

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she also understood the shopkeeper's meaning. She wanted to take out the banknotes from her purse and show it to the shopkeeper, but he didn't know how much the best horse cost. If she rashly took out the banknotes, if it was less, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?

Seeing Ji Xiaohua deal with it so calmly, she pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything.

The sturdy man hesitated for a moment and said with a smile, "It's okay. I just want to take a look. Young master, please, please follow me to the back to take a look."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Ji Xiaohua with satisfaction and followed the sturdy man to the back.

After turning a few small aisles, they entered a large courtyard. At a glance, there were dozens of tall horses in this courtyard.

However, they couldn't use their divine sense to recognize the horses. Otherwise, wouldn't Zhang Xiaohua be able to sweep them away?

Just when Zhang Xiaohua was overwhelmed, the sturdy man turned around and said, "Young master, please come with me."

After that, he brought Zhang Xiaohua to a stable in the corner facing the sun. He saw that there was a tall and beautiful date red horse tied to the stable. Although Zhang Xiaohua didn't know much about horses, he could roughly tell whether it was good or bad.

This horse was obviously not on the same level as the one the shopkeeper brought over.
