Chapter 17 Rouge
Chen Mu bought a war horse, which was an inferior war horse from the north.Although this sounds majestic, as a 16-year-old war horse, it is no longer suitable to appear on the battlefield, so it changed hands several times and finally fell into Chen Mu's hands at a price of five taels.

Just like what Bai Yuanjie said, the merchants in Guangzhou Mansion are good-natured, and they don’t make much money when the situation is clear. This horse was collected in Yangzhou for three or six dollars, and it has been raised for three months with good fodder every day. Now it is five If two or seven dollars are sold, merchants can earn up to [-]%.

Chen Mu stopped and went in the livestock market and asked many traders. Not only did he find out the price of horses in Guangzhou, but he even found out about the price of horses in the mutual market in the northwest.There are no more than one or two liang of poor horses and mule horses, two or three liang of low-grade horses, five or six liang of middle-grade horses, eight or nine liang of high-grade horses, and [-] or [-] liang of high-grade horses.The price of horses in Guangzhou is generally [-]% more expensive than in the north.

Of course, this is just a general price based on body posture alone.From the talkative horse merchants, Chen Mu also knew that there are always a few BMWs in the shopping malls in various places, and a good-looking BMW can even sell for thousands of taels of silver. , They are usually given to high-ranking officials and nobles early, and they will not be sold by these public horse dealers in the market.

The horse Chen Mu liked was bright in color, most of its body was white, but its hips and tail were red. Chen Mu named it Huoshaoyun.Back at the hotel, Chen Mu didn't want to hold the horse and sleep in the stable. On the contrary, he really wanted the horse to sleep in the guest room with him, but the store wouldn't let it.

There were several horses tethered in the stables of the Suoxing Hotel, including two healthy horses that looked better than his Huoshaoyun, which also made him feel a little relieved and not so worried about the safety of the horses.

Sending Chen Mu back to the hotel, Shao Tingda talked to Chen Mu, and then called Shi Qi and Fu Yuan to see how beautiful the Goulan Courtyard in Guangzhou Mansion is.However, one of these two people was unwilling to spend money in Goulanyuan, and the other was shy and powerless. In the end, Shao Tingda ran out at night by himself, and Chen Mu ignored him.

The Yuan Dynasty destroyed the rich commodity economy of the Song Dynasty, forming a historical retrogression and implementing a curfew policy.The Ming Dynasty followed the Yuan Dynasty. Although the commodity economy was becoming more and more prosperous, there were always polices on the frontiers with empty economic aggregates, which made the Ming Dynasty always implement night bans.However, the night ban is mainly in the city, and the outside of the city is much more relaxed. For example, Goulan Courtyard and gambling stalls are mostly opened outside the city. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, the outside of the city was more prosperous than the inside of the city.

Chen Mu didn't really dislike Goulanyuan, but he really wanted to be like Shao Tingda to see the flowers and flowers of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, all his remaining money was useful, and it was inconvenient to spend it on such irrelevant things.When you make money in the future, and some are chic, why rush for a while?
Sleeping in a daze until midnight, Chen Mu vaguely heard the voice of Shao Tingda coming back, and it was already noon when he went to sleep and opened his eyes again.He was thinking about the newly bought horse all night last night, and it was true that he didn't sleep well all night.But it’s good to have Wei Balang as a little standard bearer, a bewildered but diligent kid. When Chen Mu came down to the stables, Wei Balang had already fed the horses enough fodder from the hotel, and was patiently feeding them with a brush. Ma Qingjie saw Chen Mu coming over to say hello, and then went on to the big business of cleaning the horse.

On the other hand, Shao Tingda and Shi Qi, who were chatting at the side of the stable, waited to see Chen Mu come out and stopped what they were doing to come over. Shao Tingda was the loudest, "Brother, you've had enough sleep. It's been a long day!"

Shi Qi was not as close as Shao Tingda, so although he couldn't say anything, he looked at Chen Mu eagerly.Fu Yuan even asked with a smile on his face: "Xiao Qi, shall we go out to eat something?"

At the beginning, Chen Mu couldn't help wondering when he saw them waiting in full force. I don't care about your business when I sleep, and I'm quite enthusiastic about waiting here.It was only then that they realized that they didn't dare to eat by themselves until they woke up.

This made Chen Mu feel very strange. This group of people can move freely outside the hotel, but they don't know that they are going to eat by themselves, so they wait to bring it by themselves?
He still didn't really understand the superior-subordinate relationship in the feudal era.

Although I don’t understand it, to be honest, the feeling of being waited and surrounded by subordinates is really good. Chen Mu didn’t say any more, and lifted Wei Balang by the shoulders to drag him out of the stable, and waved: “Go, go eat.” Some wine and food!"

As soon as he walked out of the hotel, Shao Tingda approached him and said, "Brother Mu, last night I saw a good wine shop in the east, and there are storytellers and singers in it, let's go and have a look?"

Chen Mu glanced at him, this guy is big and big, he was sleepy last night and stared at him until he came back very late, but today he woke up earlier than him, and he was full of energy. Which brothel in my house got up earlier than me!"

Shao Tingda blushed and laughed without speaking, which surprised Chen Mu. This is not like the mang worm in Qingyuanwei who walked around the Goulan yard and rubbed his crotch with his five fingers stretched. There must be something wrong here!

Chen Mu didn't ask, but someone else asked, Fu Yuan rubbed his hands and asked Shao Tingda with an apologetic smile: "Brother Shao, is that brothel sister good-looking?"

Fu Yuan was a thief before he was exiled to the army, and he had unlearned martial arts. Chen Mu had never seen it before, but he guessed that his kung fu was not good enough, otherwise he would not have been caught.Shao Tingda looked down on him the most, and he often used him to plow the land to work, and kicked his buttocks to leave big footprints, and said angrily: "If you don't look good, can you call me a sister?"

Then, something like 'hands are crisp, breasts are crisp' jumped out of the mouth to praise the prostitute who slept last night, and he even recited a sentence that he improvised into a poem last night.Fu Yuan was fascinated when he heard it, and Wei Balang blushed even more, but Chen Mu could hear something different: If the girl in the brothel is really so good, why did Shao Tingda come back last night?

No matter what, I should come back this morning!
After hearing Shao Tingda brag to Fu Yuan and the others again, saying that he had chatted with him for a long time and would come back by himself when it was late, Chen Mu came back to his senses and scolded with a smile: "Hey! How much money did you spend, you idiot? ?”

Shao Tingda faltered and said nothing, and it took a long time before he said to Chen Mu: "Five...five taels."

"Five taels!?" Chen Mu's eyes widened, and he tried his best not to slap this idiot to the ground, cursing: "Five taels is enough for you to eat and drink for nine mouthfuls and not worry about three months! You just go with someone else Talk for two hours?"

Five taels of silver can buy ten stones and a thousand catties of rice, and the person chatting with him is Zhang Jinzui!

"No, the lady said that she didn't ask for money, so she charged five silver coins for food and drink. Later, she asked the maid to take me to the East Street to buy rouge for my wife. The rouge cost more than four taels." Shao Tingda talked to Fu Yuan in an arrogant manner. Coax, but Chen Mu stuttered as soon as he stared, as if to prove that he didn't waste money, he turned his head and pointed at the hotel and said: "I bought a lot, and they are the most fashionable ones in Guangzhou. I'm sure my wife will be happy to see them when I go back!"
