The general's wife knows medicine

"Sister, get up." Lu Xinyu shouted loudly while shaking Tang Peipei's body.

Because the movement was so big, Tang Peipei almost thought it was an earthquake and quickly got up from the bed.

Seeing Lu Xinyu looking at him with a puzzled expression, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, Xinyu, so early?"

Lu Xinyu looked at the sky outside and signaled Tang Peipei with her eyes to look outside.

Tang Peipei glanced out the window and felt even more embarrassed.

He asked, "What time is it now?"

Lu Xinyu said: "It's already three quarters past nine."

Tang Peipei was embarrassed and said, "It's so late? Why didn't you call me earlier?" Then he got up and put on his clothes.

Lu Xinyu said, "Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I thought I would let you sleep a little longer, and then I went to ask Wu San about fun places in Suzhou. Who knew that you would not wake up even if I called you."

Tang Peipei said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry! Maybe I was really tired during this period. I finished my work yesterday and I had nothing on my mind, so I slept more soundly."

Lu Xinyu also knew that Tang Peipei was indeed very tired, and she didn't mean to blame her. It was just that at this moment, she was afraid that she couldn't go anywhere to play, so she felt a little disappointed.

But he still said to Tang Peipei: "It's okay, sister. It's rare for you to have a good rest."

Tang Peipei touched Lu Xinyu's head and thought that this younger sister was really sensible.

After washing up, Lu Xinyu went to the kitchen and brought breakfast to Tang Peipei.

"Peipei, you just got up?" Lu Lifeng had no idea where he had been. When he came back from outside, he saw Tang Peipei sitting in the dining room eating breakfast.

He reached out and picked up a spring roll on the table and started eating it. He had already eaten it in the morning, but this spring roll was so delicious that he couldn't help but want to eat it again.

Seeing him like this, Tang Peipei pushed the plate of spring rolls directly in front of Lu Lifeng.

Lu Lifeng smiled embarrassedly, pushed it back, and said: "I have eaten this morning, but I just feel itchy when I see you eating. Hehe~~"

Lu Xinyu asked, "Dad, where have you been? I haven't seen you all morning."

Lu Lifeng said, "It's nothing. I just went to the back to check the cloth I bought yesterday."

Then he said to Tang Peipei, "Peipei, we bought so much cloth. How are we going to transport it back? I just checked and there are more than 400 pieces of cloth! They are piled very high."

In fact, Tang Peipei had thought about this problem before. They only had one carriage, so they definitely couldn't get it back. So they had to buy another one.

Tang Peipei thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, let's go to the horse market in Suzhou later to see if there are any horse-drawn carriages suitable for transporting goods. Then we can buy one specifically for transporting goods. Anyway, we will definitely need it in the future."

Lu Lifeng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go after you finish eating, right?"

Tang Peipei finished her meal in a few bites, then called Wu San, and took Lu Lifeng and Lu Xinyu out.

Wu San didn't know much about the Suzhou Horse Market, he just knew where it was.

"Miss Tang, this is the horse market, but I don't know anyone here, and I don't know this area very well, so I have to take my time."

Tang Peipei nodded and looked up at the wooden door frame with a sign hanging on it that read Horse Market.

As soon as they entered, several waiters greeted them, "Are you guys buying horses? Come to my house and have a look. These are all newly arrived horses. They are in great condition. Come and have a look."

This one is asked to go to his house, and that one is asked to go to his house.

Tang Peipei and the others were confused and didn't know whose house to go to for a moment.

Zhao Erniu, who was standing by, wanted to step forward and greet them, but seeing that there were already several people surrounding Tang Peipei and the others, he did not dare to step forward and was a little hesitant for a moment.

Lu Xinyu accidentally discovered Zhao Erniu and saw him standing there with an honest look on his face, looking a little anxious.

Pulling Tang Peipei, he said, "Sister, why don't we go to that person's store and take a look?"

Tang Peipei looked in the direction of Lu Xinyu's hand.

Seeing Tang Peipei looking at him, Zhao Erniu mustered up the courage to ask politely with a smile, "Young lady, would you like to visit my store?"

Tang Peipei thought about so many people and it was difficult to make a decision, so she nodded in agreement.

When those people saw that Tang Peipei was going to Zhao Erniu's store, they wanted to step forward to fight for it, but Wu San shouted at them: "You guys go and do your work first. If we don't like what we see at his store, we will go to your store later." After saying that, he stared at those people with a ferocious look.

After seeing this, those people didn't dare to do anything else and went to greet other people who were entering the horse market.

Tang Peipei followed Zhao Erniu into the third store.

Zhao Erniu never expected that he would be chosen out of all the people. He was still a little confused at the moment. Thinking that this was the first customer who chose him in the three days since he came here, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

He didn't know how to start the conversation, so he just took Tang Peipei to the stable.

Lu Xinyu looked at Tang Peipei, and Tang Peipei shrugged, indicating that she didn't know what was going on.

Lu Xinyu had no choice but to pull Lu Lifeng's sleeve, motioning him to go and ask.

Lu Lifeng walked up to Zhao Erniu and asked, "Little Brother, where are you going?"

Zhao Erniu then remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to introduce himself, and said embarrassedly: "Excuse me, dear guests, shall I take you to the stables to see the horses first?"

Lu Lifeng said with a smile: "How did Xiao Erge know that we were buying horses instead of renting a carriage?"

Zhao Erniu was stunned and said, "Ah!" Then he blushed and said, "Sorry, I forgot to ask you. Do you want to rent a carriage?"

Seeing his dazed look, Lu Xinyu burst out laughing.

When Zhao Erniu saw Lu Xinyu laughing at him, he felt even more at a loss.

Seeing this, Tang Peipei felt it was not good to tease him anymore, so he said, "We want to buy horses, they are teasing you."

Zhao Erniu was relieved and said with a smile: "Then I will take you to the stable and introduce you to our horses."

Tang Peipei nodded and said, "We bought the horses to carry goods. In addition to the horses, we also need to buy a cart to hold the goods."

Hearing that Tang Peipei and the others were going to buy a horse carriage, Zhao Erniu was very happy and responded happily: "Yes, I will definitely introduce the most suitable horse to you."

Although Zhao Erniu had not been here for long, he knew everything he needed to know, otherwise he would not have been sent to the gate to receive guests.

Zhao Erniu took Tang Peipei and the others directly to the second stable and introduced them to them, "The horses here are the ones we brought from Xia Country. They are most suitable for pulling heavy objects."

Tang Peipei looked at the horses in the stable, which seemed much taller than their horses, and asked, "How old are these horses?"

Zhao Erniu knew that Tang Peipei and the others didn't know much about horses when he heard this, so he introduced them, "These horses are basically newly-adult Xia horses, and Xia horses are famous for being able to pull heavy objects, so their horses are much taller than horses from other places. Of course, the reason they can grow so tall is because they eat three times as much food as these horses normally do."

Tang Peipei asked: "How much cargo can it carry?"

Zhao Erniu said, "It can usually carry about five tons." Then he thought of something and asked, "What kind of cargo do you want to carry?"

Tang Peipei smiled and said, "Just some cloth, about 400 pieces."

Zhao Erniu said, "If you only want to buy one horse, you can just buy this Xia country horse. If you want to buy a normal horse, I'm afraid you'll have to buy three horses."

Tang Peipei thought for a moment and asked, "Then I wonder how much a horse like this costs?"

Zhao Erniu said, "Because these horses were brought from Xia Country, the minimum price for a horse is 40 taels of silver."

Tang Peipei knew without even having to do the math that they probably had no choice but to buy these Xia horses, as they simply didn't have the manpower to drive so many horses.

Tang Peipei said: "Then little brother, please help us choose carefully."

Zhao Erniu was very happy when he heard that they had decided to buy the Xia country horse. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely choose a good one for you."

After the horses were selected, Tang Peipei asked Zhao Erniu to take them to see the carts that carried goods.

There is not much to choose from when it comes to flatbed trucks, as they are all of the same style.

After the horses were chosen, the shopkeeper set a price of forty-five taels and the cart five taels.

Tang Peipei would not bargain with an honest man like Zhao Erniu, but when she met someone like the shopkeeper, of course she had to talk it out.

After some negotiations, Tang Peipei finally bought the horse and cart for forty-five taels of silver.

He happily took me back to my residence.
