1.42 The Four Friends of Liu Bei
"It's settled, it's settled." Hu Shang and Liu Bei hit high fives three times.
A hundred gold is not a small amount.
One gold and ten thousand coins. One hundred gold means one million coins. One million coins can buy a censor who can buy a hundred stones. If a famous scholar is discounted, he can exchange it for a county magistrate who can be 200 stones!
Moreover, if exchanged in the Horse Market, one hundred gold can be exchanged for 1.5 million.
Is this Hu Shang too rich?
Yes, a good horse is worth 200,000 yuan. A hundred gold is just the price of five horses.
Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Can you have some cowhide with me?"
"What's wrong?" Hu Shang was very generous. But who would you give to this mattress worth hundreds of gold?
After leaving the Hu Shang camp, Liu Bei went to find Su Shuang again.
Gongsun Zan was also on the side. Su Shuang was pointing at a tall horse in the city and whispering to him. Gongsun Zan nodded from time to time. It was obvious that he had a crush on the mare.
"Su Shuang, Mr. Zan." Liu Bei came with his horse and greeted him without waiting for close. This is a kind reminder. If the two of them don't want to be known to outsiders, they can stop here.
"Liu Bei, you are here just right." Gongsun Zan asked with his finger on the horse and smiled: "How about this mare? According to Hu Shang, it was a mixed life between Wuhuan horses and Dayuan horses."
After Liu Bei looked carefully, he smiled and said, "Young Master Zan, although Dayuan horses are good at sprinting and moving quickly, their endurance is poor. If you want to ride around, this horse is inappropriate."
"How is it!" Su Shuang clapped his hands and smiled, "But as I said!"
"It's true." Gongsun Zan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I think I am destined to have nothing to gain today."
Before Liu Bei could enlighten him, he laughed again and said, "Well. Let's go, I'll invite you to have a drink."
"No, no." Liu Bei waved his hand quickly. Master, I am only seven years old. When I went to LaSu Shuang, Su Shuang couldn't refuse. Helplessly, Gongsun Zan had to give up the two of them, but found those friends.
When Gongsun Zan walked away, Liu Bei smiled and said, "Su Shuang, why not go to my house?"
"That's how..." Su Shuang is most familiar with Ma City. It seems that he will feel nervous whenever he thinks of leaving Ma City.
Liu Bei smiled and blinked: "How can you not go for a baby with a rhubarb?"
"Then, okay!" Su Shuang finally made up his mind.
"Come on!" Liu Bei then helped him get on the horse and led the reins out of the horse market.
Gongsun Zan, who was joking with several friends, turned around accidentally. He saw Liu Bei leading his horse and leaving Su Shuang.
"Hey, Liu Bei!"
Su Shuang and Liu Bei are about the same age, and they talked and laughed, but they didn't realize that there was anything wrong with it. However, in Gongsun Zan's opinion, it was a big mistake for Liu Bei to walk on the horse and Su Shuang to sit upright on the back. He consciously could joke with Su Shuang, but he would never lead a horse for him.
Without it, different identities.
In this era, good and cheap are always different.
This is also the reason why he looked at Liu Bei differently.
After leaving the city gate, Liu Bei turned over and rushed away.
Although Su Shuang is good at horses, he has never ridden a horse. The scenery in front of him flew, the wind was clamoring in his ears, and he was dizzy and couldn't help but scream.
This made pedestrians on the road look sideways. Liu Bei couldn't help laughing. Then he slowed down his horse and trotted back to Lousang Village.
"Wow—" Before she could get off the horse, Su Shuang was stunned by Liu Bei's residence.
"Is this your home?" His dark fingers drew a huge circle in the air.
"All of them." Liu Bei smiled and helped him off the horse: "Let's go and see my mother."
Without saying anything, Liu Bei pulled him into the yard. As soon as the copper bell on the neck of the green horse stopped in front of the door, my mother knew that Liu Bei was going home.
Get up and welcome to the corridor.
Gongsun came over and helped him remove the reins and saddle. Liu Bei patted the horse's back, and the green horse ran to the groove of the backyard.
"Mother, this is Su Shuang." Liu Bei smiled and recommended.
"I've seen my wife." Su Shuang hurriedly saluted.
"You are Su Shuang? I often mention it when I was a child." The mother nodded with a smile.
"I met Liu Bei in Ma City." Su Shuang saw that Liu Bei's mother did not feel any disgusted at all, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "I have known each other for more than a year."
"Come in and talk." The mother invited with a smile.
"Okay." Su Shuang took off her straw sandals and realized that it was inappropriate. Her feet were so dirty.
"It's okay, I'll get a basin of water for you." Liu Bei also discovered it. So he went to the well railing to make a tube of water and wash his feet.
Wash your feet and wipe them dry with a linen cloth. Then he entered the hall barefoot and followed Liu Bei to kneel down on the mat.
Gongsun took fragrant tea and fresh fruits and sat beside his mother.
This is Su Shuang's first time visiting. He feels novel about everything in front of him. He is young and has no concerns. His mother is charitable, which makes Su Shuang feel more and more comfortable. He drinks fragrant tea and eats fresh fruits, and has a chat with Liu Bei every sentence, and is happy on his face.
After eating and drinking, Liu Bei took him to the backyard to see the yellow horse.
Before getting up, Su Shuang did not forget to salute his mother and Gongsun.
"My little brother, this friend is so pure and cute." Gongsun said with a smile.
"I can make friends without being confined. I feel relieved." My mother smiled and picked up the fragrant tea.
Thinking of Liu Bei's friends, Gongsun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are all in place."
My mother also laughed: "Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the four people are the stones (pillars) of the country." The four people in the "Four People's Monthly Order" refer to these four categories.
Isn't that true? Geng Yong, who is engaged in business, Cui Jun, who is a noble family, Su Shuang, who is good at horses, went to Luoyang to help, and Zhang Xiaopang, who is studying hard at home.
Looking at the row of footprints left by Su Shuang, his mother knew the size of her feet: "It's better to do double black hair shoes for him."
"Okay." Gongsun nodded with a smile. Then he took the needle and thread and became busy with his mother.
My mother is a lady from a family. Although she is not good at housework, the girl is good at it. Even though she is in a difficult life and needs to be pawned for three meals a day, Liu Bei's clothes are always meticulous.
Ordinary people today cannot wear colorful clothes. Clothing cannot be dyed and must be the true color of fabric. The only color that can be worn on the body is blue. Therefore, blue scarves, blue shirts, and blue hair are all dressed by ordinary people.
Backyard stables.
After seeing the yellow horse and the foal, Su Shuang immediately burst into laughter.
"Liu Bei, this must be a good horse!"
"I said it was a vain sacrifice, do you think it's right?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.
"Who can know this? You said it is." Su Shuang replied with a smile.
"I heard that the colt will change in color when it grows up. I wonder if this horse will also turn into another color." Liu Bei was a little worried.
"Most not." Su Shuang shook his head first, and then said: "The color of the fur is actually not important. There was a story about Jiufang Gao's horse in ancient times. He never looked at whether it was a good horse or not."
"That's right." Liu Bei nodded happily.
After seeing the foal, Su Shuang walked to Huang Pima again and carefully observed the healing of the wound left during delivery. It was confirmed that it was not hindered, and then he and Liu Bei left the stable. The two climbed up the tower and looked into the distance with the railing. Liu Bei pointed to more than a hundred acres of paddy fields at the mouth of Qingxi, and told him about the trapping of rocks and clearing the wasteland. When he heard the important points, Su Shuang couldn't help but danced and was really happy for Liu Bei. The sincerity from the heart between his eyebrows could not be done at all.
Liu Bei pointed to the village thatched cottage and said that he would allow all the Liu clans to build a high shelf.
Su Shuang asked, what is the Chongtang and the High Pavilion? Liu Bei said that the Chongtang is the Chongtang, and the High Pavilion also refers to the tall building. He patted the railings and said, as high as this looking building.
Su Shuang opened her mouth wide in surprise and looked around at the low thatched cottages in the village, thinking about the scene that would turn into tall buildings.
Liu Bei said that he would also move to Lousang Village to live with him in the future.
Su Shuang asked, is it true?
