The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 449 Choosing a Horse

"Girl Lin Xi, the master has instructed that any letter from you must be delivered to him as quickly as possible! Please sit for a while, I will send someone to deliver the letter right away!"

Shopkeeper Zhou looked at Lin Xi and explained, then turned around and was about to walk out.

"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Zhou. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I'll come and talk to you another day!"

Lin Xi looked at Shopkeeper Zhou and smiled, then followed him out of the yard.

"Lin Xi girl, I'm going over there, do you want to go home?"

Shopkeeper Zhou and Lin Xi walked together for a while, and then he pointed to a quieter alley and said to Lin Xi.

When the people left behind by Jun Moyue did not have any missions, they would stay in the house at the innermost part of this alley.

"I'm going to Fulin Restaurant. Take care, Uncle Zhou!"

Lin Xi smiled and bowed to Manager Zhou. After he left and entered the alley, she quickly came to the back door of Fulin Restaurant.

Lin Xi quietly observed the surroundings and saw that there was no one nearby. An idea suddenly occurred to him and he took out several large sacks of chili peppers from the boundary bead and placed them under the tree.

At this moment, the gate opened and the owner of Fulin Restaurant walked out of the yard.

As he walked, he urged the boy who was pulling the carriage behind him, "Hurry up, hurry up, the peppers are almost gone, we have to go find Miss Lin Xi, she's waiting for them tonight!"

"Eh? Lin Xi girl! I was just about to come look for you. We've run out of chili peppers. How much more can you provide?"

The shopkeeper turned around and saw Lin Xi walking up to him and looking at him with a smile. He looked at Lin Xi with surprise and couldn't wait to tell her about the chili peppers.

"Uncle, don't be anxious, look at what that is!"

Lin Xi turned sideways and pointed to several large sacks under the tree, asking the shopkeeper to look at them.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he trotted under the big tree, untied the sacks, and after making sure that the sacks were filled with peppers, his face was filled with joy, and his eyes were smiling into slits!

"Lin Xi, you sent me these peppers just in time! We just happened to have nothing to cook tonight, and I was worried!"

Shopkeeper Zhou said, and then instructed the waiter, "Hurry up, call a few people out, bring the peppers in and weigh them, so I can pay Lin Xi!"

"Okay! Boss!"

The young man was very happy to see that the problem of the peppers was solved. He agreed loudly, ran back to the yard and called a few people out. He quickly moved the sacks in, weighed them quickly, and then sent the peppers to the kitchen.

"Lin Xi girl, this is the money from selling chili peppers, take it!"

The shopkeeper looked at the weight of the peppers recorded by the waiter, went to the front to get some silver and money and stuffed it into Lin Xi's hand, and also packed some cooked food and snacks for her.

"Thank you, uncle. I'm welcome!"

Lin Xi put the silver and money away, shook the paper bags in his hand, and thanked the shopkeeper happily.

"Why are you being so polite to me? How did you get into the city today? Do you want me to ask someone to take you back to the village?"

The shopkeeper looked at the alley outside the yard and saw that there was no carriage there, so he wanted to ask his waiter to take Lin Xi back.

"Uncle, no need. I came here in a horse-drawn carriage. My family drove it to go shopping. I just need to meet them. Uncle, you are busy. I will leave first!"

Lin Xi smiled and shook his head at the shopkeeper, rejecting his kindness.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper bowed to Lin Xi and said, "Then I won't see you off, Lin Xi girl, take care! When you are free, call your parents and the others to come over. Uncle will treat you to a meal!"

"Okay, uncle, don't send me off. Go back and get busy!"

Lin Xi asked the shopkeeper who was escorting him out of the hospital to stop, and then she trotted out of the alley.

After leaving Fulin Restaurant, Lin Xi did not go anywhere else and went straight out of the city.

When she arrived at the place agreed with the previous shopkeepers, she saw several waiters already waiting there in a horse-drawn carriage.

"Sorry, I was delayed by something just now. I kept you waiting for a long time!"

Lin Xi walked quickly to the front of the young men and said with a smile, then stuffed a few copper coins into each of them.

The waiters, who were originally a little impatient, touched the copper coins in their hands and smiled warmly.

"Girl, I just got here a while ago, and I didn't have to wait long!"

"Girl, what are you talking about? You bought a lot of things from our shop. Waiting for a while is nothing!"

"Girl, our shop is not busy right now, so you can wait for a while. If you need anything in the future, just come to our shop to buy it. Our shopkeeper said that next time, we will give you the most honest price!"

......

Several guys expressed their goodwill to Lin Xi.

"Thank you all, please unload the things over here, a carriage will come to my house soon!"

Lin Xi spoke to the young men very politely.

Several guys looked at the place Lin Xi pointed, and started to unload the goods skillfully, looking quite competitive with each other.

Although most of the things sold in their shops are different, there are still some common goods, so there is still some competition on weekdays.

"Thank you guys, take care!"

Soon, several guys unloaded all the goods to the place designated by Lin Xi, and Lin Xi bowed to them to thank them.

After exchanging polite words with Lin Xi, the servants drove away in their respective carriages and headed towards the county town.

The place Lin Xi chose was a small path that branched off from the main road that led directly to the county town from Linshan Village. On weekdays, few people walked here.

Lin Xi listened carefully and made sure that there was no one around. With a flash of thought, he put all his things into the boundary bead, then went into the woods and flew quickly towards Linshan Village.

When she met the owner of Fulin Restaurant just now, Lin Xi suddenly thought of Zhao Junle. Why didn’t she see her when she came back yesterday?

No wonder she felt like she had forgotten something yesterday. It turned out that she had forgotten Zhao Junle. Didn’t she tell her before she left that she would wait for her at home?

After returning home, Lin Xi stopped Cao who was boiling water and asked, "Mom, where is my aunt? Why didn't we see her when we came back yesterday?"

After hearing what Lin Xi said, Cao put down the kettle in her hand and said with a smile: "There were too many people yesterday, and we were all busy receiving Mr. Fan and the Bai family. I forgot to tell you that your aunt left!"

"Where did she go? Back to the capital? Didn't she say she was going to stay here for a while?"

Lin Xi looked at Cao and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Did something happen?" But looking at his mother's expression, it didn't seem like that.

"As soon as you left that day, Jun Huan rushed over from the capital, saying that his grandfather and parents were very worried about Jun Le, so they took her back. They just left yesterday, and happened to have a different topic with you!"

Cao slowly explained the reason why Zhao Junle left. After that, she smiled and pointed in the direction of the backyard, saying, "I forgot to tell you yesterday. Didn't Junhuan say last time that he would find a good horse for you guys? This time he came here specially to bring one. Go and take a look and choose one you like! Your eldest brother, Ping'er, and An'er are all looking at horses in the backyard!"

"Then I'll go check it out first, and come back to work with mother later!"

Lin Xi said this and ran towards the backyard. Although she could fly and didn't need a horse for daily travel, she still liked the feeling of galloping on a horse.

"Goudan's grandfather won't be able to send bricks over until the afternoon. There's nothing to do in the morning, so just have fun!"

Cao shouted towards Lin Xi's back, saying that these children were too sensible and she hoped they could play freely.

"I know, mother!"

Lin Xi responded loudly, and then his figure disappeared.

Cao looked at Lin Xi's jumping figure, smiled gently, and continued to squat down to boil water.

"Brother, tame this fierce horse!"

"Brother, take it down!"

There is a large martial arts training ground in the backyard of Lin Xi's house. When she arrived at the backyard, Lin Kang was riding on a strong horse. The horse kept jumping and twisting in resistance. Obviously, this was an untamed horse. It seemed that Lin Kang had not tamed it yet.

Lin Ping and Lin An were standing at the edge of the martial arts training ground, cheering for Lin Kang!

"Don't shout! Shouting so loudly will only make the horse more aggressive!"

Lin Xi walked behind the two little guys, gave each of them a slap on the face, and said with a smile.

"Hey!"

Lin Ping and Lin An covered their heads and cried out in pain. When they turned around, they saw Lin Xi standing behind them with his arms folded.

"Oh! Sister, you're back. Come and see big brother training the horse!"

"Sister, mother said these horses were given to us by our cousin. We each picked one. You can pick one you like, too!"

When Lin Ping and Lin An saw that it was Lin Xi coming over, they didn't bother to rub her little head. They each held one of her arms and pulled her towards the stable.

"Sister, take a look at which one you like!"

The three siblings came to the stable, and Lin An pointed at the horses inside and asked Lin Xi to choose.

These horses have extremely bright coats and strong bodies, and are obviously rare and good horses.

Lin Xi looked at each horse carefully. She walked up to a white horse and was about to reach out to touch it when Lin Kang's voice came from behind: "Xi'er, get out of the way!"

Lin Xi and her two siblings looked back and saw Lin Kang riding the horse towards them. They subconsciously dodged to the side.

Unexpectedly, the horse was out of Lin Kang's control and turned a corner and continued to rush towards Lin Xi.

Lin Xi used her physical and spiritual power to form a shield in front of herself. Fearing that the spiritual power would hurt the horse, she carefully controlled it to prevent it from counterattacking the horse.

Lin Kang jumped off the horse's back and was about to grab the horse's mouth when he saw the horse stopped just before hitting Lin Xi!

The next scene stunned Lin Kang. He saw the wild horse that he had been training for half a morning but still couldn't tame was now enthusiastically sticking its face to Lin Xi.

Because there was a spiritual power shield in front of Lin Xi, the horse couldn't touch her, and it pawed its way through the gap with its hooves, becoming a little anxious!

Seeing this, Lin Xi quickly retracted her spiritual power. Without the obstruction of spiritual power, the fierce horse easily touched Lin Xi. It kept nudging Lin Xi's hand with its head. When Lin Xi raised her hand to stroke its head, it even took the initiative to rub against her palm!

"Sister, what's going on?"

Lin Ping and Lin An pulled the stunned Lin Kang and ran to Lin Xi, asking in surprise.

Their eldest brother tried so hard, using both soft and hard methods, but failed to tame the wild horse. The elder sister did nothing, so how come the horse became so close to her?

"I don't know what's going on. I just got here!"

Lin Xi spread his hands, shrugged and said.

"Xi'er, try riding it. It's a good horse. Be careful, it has a fierce temper!"

Although the horse looked docile at the moment, Lin Kang thought of its reaction when he was on its back before. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and reminded Lin Xi to be careful.

Lin Xi nodded to Lin Kang, walked to the side of the wild horse, climbed on it, and the horse neighed excitedly and ran happily around the martial arts training ground.

"Brother, this horse doesn't look difficult to train. Look how well it listens to me!"

Lin An tugged at Lin Kang's sleeve and whispered.

"Maybe it gets along well with my sister!"

Lin Ping muttered as he watched Lin Xi galloping in the martial arts training ground.

"Then this horse will be given to Xi'er. I will choose another one!"

Lin Kang clapped his hands and said with a smile. After that, he walked to the stable, picked another horse, climbed on it, and ran towards Lin Xi.

"Let's go horseback riding!"

Lin Kang shouted and rushed out on his horse!

"Brother, let's go too!"

Lin An shouted excitedly, pulled out his horse, climbed on it, and rushed into the training ground.

Lin Ping rode his horse and followed closely behind!
