Buy a horse drawn carriage

Shuang Zhizhi's teacher told her that in five days he would be leaving for Hebei Province. Shuang Zihua, wanting her son to ride a nice carriage, secretly took a bill of exchange of nearly five hundred taels to a carriage market she had never been to before. Even though she doesn't know how to drive right now. But she can learn as well. If she gets a good and intelligent horse She probably couldn't use this carriage easily. She also wanted to improve the carriage to secretly store her treasure box, so she had to go to the market herself.

 Today, she told her son that she would close the shop to run errands for one day. He himself didn't ask her anything. Knowing full well that he had caused his mother a lot of trouble in going to take the exam this time. Shuang Zihua walked all the way to the animal market where there were many merchants calling for customers. She hurriedly stated her desire.

" Merchant, I want to buy a carriage. I don't know of any merchant who can improve the carriage for me. "

" Then you follow me first and see what kind of carriage you want. And how do you want me to improve it for you? Then go pick a horse later. " A middle-aged merchant with a sassy appearance hurriedly greeted a female customer who he knew was the owner of a famous dessert shop here. Who doesn't know? that this female vendor did How delicious are the snacks? Even City Lord Hu Yinjuan had people come to her shop so often that no one dared to cause trouble in her shop for many years.

" Thank you. Please lead the way. " Shuang Zihua nodded, satisfied that the merchant was able to meet her needs.

 The merchant took Shuang Zihua to a big shop not far away. In front of the shop there are many horse carriages, both large and small, to choose from. Shuang Zihua wanted a large horse carriage. She would be able to carry a lot of necessary things. She didn't want to go buy it later. Just like the first time she traveled here.

 The merchant recommended a large horse-drawn carriage with soft cushions on the inside, almost all around. He said that this horse-drawn carriage was originally ordered long ago. But no one came to receive him. If she wanted this one, he would sell it to her first. He also asked how she wanted him to improve the carriage.

 Shuang Zihua told her that she wanted a compartment at the bottom of the carriage that was one-third the size of the carriage floor. She also wanted him to attach a folding table to the wall of the carriage where her son could read or sit and drink tea and snacks.

 The merchant listened to her request and was surprised. It was rare for someone to be as smart to design as she wanted. He also thought that if his other carriages were improved with foldable tables, they would probably sell for a better price, so he promised her that he would hurry up and fix them within the day. Then he had the people in the shop take her to choose a horse first. He also advised her to use two horses. Because of the size of the horse carriage, it was very heavy. He feared that a single horse would become too tired on a long journey.

 Shuang Zihua nodded at his words and followed his men to the stables on the other side. She looked at dozens of horses and didn't know how to choose. After all, she had the chance to choose for herself. So she kept walking until she was almost at the end of the road. Shuang Zihua saw a pair of horses in the same stable. So she asked the worker who had brought her. Until it was discovered that these two horses had been bought from a horse seller for many years. And they refused to be separated from each other. As a result, his shop had to take care of it for many years like this. If you want to buy it, you have to buy it in pairs only. The price was not small, so most customers would not buy them.

 Shuang Zihua looked at the two horses with a slight smile. Looking at their appearance, they definitely looked like they had received quite a bit of training. In the past, in her palace, when she had been punished for cleaning the stables. She could see the horse a little. And her feelings told her to buy these two horses. Shuang Zihua had always believed in her feelings ever since she had a child. She thought that this time she would not make the wrong choice as usual. So she inquired about the price and found that the two horses were worth 200 taels. This was because they had raised them for many years. Therefore, you must charge a fee. raised in addition to the purchase cost in that year Both horses were not very old. They were sold at a very young age.

 Shuang Zihua nodded to him that she understood. And she wanted to buy these two horses. She had him prepare the horse for her before attaching it to the carriage the shopkeeper was renovating for her. The worker smiled happily that his shop was finally able to sell these two horses. He promised her that he would take good care of the two of them before sending them out to her in the carriage after this. He took her to sit in the waiting room of the shop before going about his business.

 Shuang Zihua waited nearly three hours before the shopkeeper came and called her out to inspect the carriage he had improved for her. She climbed into the carriage and opened the seat beneath the floor to find that there was another door that opened up. which she thought would be a perfect place to hide her treasure box. You can also place quite a few things. It made the inside of the carriage not cramped from various objects as well. As for the folding table, he pulled it out from the back wall where she closed the gap and put the cushions down as before. Shuang Zihua was also very satisfied with the size of this table. She inquired about the price of the carriage and had him add it to the cost of the two horses for her.

 The shopkeeper saw that she had helped him think of a good job, so he reduced the price of the carriage to her by 20 taels, but he could not lower the price for her. Shuang Zihua paid a total of 250 taels for the carriage and horses. She also asked the shopkeeper to teach her how to drive the carriage in front of the shop before leaving. She frankly told him that she did not dare to hire people. A stranger came to drive her and her son. The shop owner taught her seriously. Fortunately, she was as smart as her son. Less than two women were already able to control the carriage very well.

 The shop owner saw this and nodded to her, bowed and sent her out of the shop with a smile. He also ordered the people in the shop to renovate all the carriages to include additional tables. This time, his shop would stand out from other shops that only had ordinary horse carriages.

 Shuang Zihua steered her carriage home with ease. The two horses themselves were very tame. They walked slowly without her having to do much. As for the horse's food and the stables, we'll find it for him later.

 Upon reaching the front gate She stopped her horse and went down to open the door. Shuang Zihua Long pointed out and told the horse to walk in. Miraculously, the two horses obeyed her. They walked into the house calmly. Until Shuang Zihua closed the gate. She then came to her senses and was glad that she really had not chosen the wrong horse.

 Shuang Zihua went to look at the warehouse behind the house that she hadn't used to store anything since she had been here. Most of the items in the dessert shop were kept mostly in the back of the store. Shuang Zihua removed the rope between the carriage and the horses for the two horses. She let them go into the warehouse first. Then he found an unused wooden basin and put water in it for them. Shuang Zihua remembered that the shop owner had told her that the horse These two are easy to eat. She was looking for grass in the house that was rarely available because her son had been diligent in cutting grass and helping her take care of the house since he was growing up.

 Shuang Zihua was afraid that the horse would be hungry. So she walked in and told them that she was going to buy them something to eat. The horse seemed to understand her words. They nodded to her and sat and waited in the warehouse obediently. So she hurried out to the market to buy some fresh food to make food and grass for the horses. She had brought an old, still functioning wheelchair with her from the beginning. This made her carrying things home not a problem at all.

 Shuang Zhizhi returned home and saw a carriage parked inside. He was curious, so he walked into the house to ask his mother. Until he knew that she had prepared this for him before his long journey. Shuang Zhizhi was even more determined to pass the exam again for his mother, who she had always done everything for him.
