First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 442 Choosing a Horse

Everyone knows that the strongest cavalry in the Daxie Dynasty is the Black Tiger Guard under Wei Ling, and those who can be brought into the capital by Wei Ling must be the elites of the Black Tiger Guard. Now he can be regarded as someone who can command the Black Tiger Guard.

When Wei Ling led the Black Tiger Guards to help His Majesty enter the capital, he was just a personal guard beside the current His Majesty. Now he has the title of General in Front of the Palace because his elder sister is His Majesty's favorite concubine in the palace. Others flatter him on the surface, but secretly call him the General with Nepotism.

Zhu Jingyu, who was already the general in front of the palace at such a young age, knew that he was not worthy of the position.

But if he could bring the Black Tiger Guards under his command now, and if he could persuade the Black Tiger Guards to defect to his side collectively in the future, then no one would dare to laugh at him for relying on his eldest sister's connections to become a general in front of the palace!

How could Zhu Jingyu hide his inner thoughts from Wei Ling?

But Wei Ling knew in his heart that if he could hand over the military power, he would definitely be able to take it back.

Isn’t Prince Chenliu still on the way?

If His Majesty really thinks too much, he doesn't mind giving Prince Chenliu a push!

The Wei family, as the Duke of Zhenguo of the Daxie Dynasty, originally protected His Majesty's kingdom. However, His Majesty trampled on the Wei family like grass, so from now on, the Wei family will no longer protect a single person, but the people of this land! Whoever can make the people live in peace and stability is the one the Wei family should protect, even if they themselves sit in that position, it is nothing great.

Wei Lingshen took a deep look at Zhu Jingyu, who was smiling widely, and turned away.

Seeing Wei Ling leave so abruptly without even saying a word to the leader of the Black Tiger Guard, Zhu Jingyu was both shocked and happy.

As soon as Wei Ling left, he tried his best to win over these people.

He thought that his Majesty's brother-in-law probably meant the same thing.

Wei Ling returned home relaxed and took Su Jixiang to the stables in the capital.

Since they got married, they had rarely traveled openly like this. The last time they went treasure hunting in Phoenix Mountain, they did it in disguise.

Therefore, Wei Ling attached great importance to taking Su Jixiang on hunting trip this time.

He took Su Jixiang to buy a horse.

There are several stables in the capital that specialize in serving the aristocracy. These stables all have military backgrounds, so as long as you pay enough money, you can buy a very good horse.

Wei Ling was a nobleman who grew up in the capital, and he knew the inside story of these stables very well.

Although many years have passed, the backgrounds of these stables are still there and the owners have not changed.

Wei Ling chose a stable called Qianli.

After Su Jixiang entered the stable, he thought it was a teahouse.

Instead of seeing a stable, she saw a series of exquisite private rooms. She and Wei Ling were led into an elegant private room. After they sat down, Su Jixiang looked around and asked in a low voice, "Are we going to choose horses here?"

"Yes." Wei Ling nodded with a smile.

"That's quite novel." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "As expected, buying horses in the capital is different from buying them in the frontier."

There are also many markets in the north where horses are bought and sold, and there are also some high-priced fine horses from foreign lands. Su Jixiang has been in the north for so long that he is used to seeing people gathering in front of the horse fence and commenting on the horses inside. This is the first time for him to sit in a private room and choose a horse.

"Just watch it for a while." Wei Ling smiled and picked up the teapot brought by the waiter, poured a cup of tea for Su Jixiang, and said.

"Okay." Su Jixiang nodded.

Soon, several capable-looking servants in riding uniforms came in, each holding a booklet in their hands.

"Please choose a horse." A waiter came up and bowed, smiling.

"Give it to me." Wei Ling beckoned.

The servant immediately handed over the booklet in his hand.

"First, take a look at the portraits and introductions of these horses. If you see one that catches your eye, take down the card." Wei Ling handed the booklet to Su Jixiang and said.

"Oh, I understand." Su Jixiang nodded. The place in the capital that serves the nobles is different.

The album contains portraits of every horse in the stable. The portraits are made in the style of a card, and detailed information about each horse is marked on it, such as its origin, place of origin, height, age, etc., and the advantages and disadvantages of each horse are also listed.

"The owner of this stable is also interesting. He even wrote down the shortcomings." Su Jixiang said with a smile.

"Those who can come here to buy horses can certainly afford the price. They want more than just a good horse; they want safety," Wei Ling said with a smile. "You can't buy a beautiful horse with a bad temper that you can't ride back home. Of course, some people specifically choose to buy horses like this, just to satisfy their desire to conquer."

"That's right!" Su Jixiang said with a smile.

These people in Beijing are not short of money, what they lack is various services!

The owner of this stable accurately grasped the mentality of the nobles.

The horses in the album are painted vividly, and any one of them that has survived is a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages.

Su Jixiang looked at it very carefully. This was the first horse Wei Ling bought for her, so she naturally had to choose carefully.

Soon, she picked out a few that she liked, and Wei Ling also picked out a few. They placed the cards they selected on a tray on the side.

"These are for now." Wei Ling said to the guy.

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir." The waiter smiled and took away the tray and album.

Soon, someone came over and said, "Please move on, gentlemen. The horses are ready."

Wei Ling pulled Su Jixiang up and said, "Let's go and take a look." They walked out of the private room together, passed through a long corridor, and arrived at a large thatched shed.

There were tables and chairs in the straw hut, and tea, fresh fruits and snacks were placed on the tables.

"Please sit for a while, sir. The knight is getting ready." The waiter said with a smile as he invited Wei Ling and Su Jixiang to sit down.

Wei Ling nodded and pulled Su Jixiang to sit inside the straw hut.

In front of the straw hut was a large horse farm, which was covered with thick fine sand. It was very clean and there was not even a trace of odor.

"It's much cleaner and more elegant than the stables in the north." Su Jixiang said with a smile.

The smell near the horse stables in the North Market is really unbearable, but here not only is there no trace of animal smell, but incense is used instead.

Soon, someone entered the venue, leading a fine horse. At the same time, the waiter took out a portrait of the horse and presented it to Su Jixiang. "Madam, please look, this is the first horse you chose. It's called Aixue."

Su Jixiang looked at the portrait and the real horse in front of him, and had to say that the painter hired by this stable was extremely skilled!

The horses chosen by Su Jixiang are all white. Every girl has a dream of a white horse in her heart, and Su Jixiang is no exception.
