Chapter 443 The Man Behind the Horse Shed
After looking at all the horses chosen by the couple, Su Jixiang felt dazzled.
She had no knowledge of this, and her so-called choice was just based on her own feelings, choosing the one that looked familiar to her.
After these horses were brought over, Su Jixiang felt that he had never had such a difficult time making a choice as he did now. This one seemed good, and that one was not bad either.
"Is there anything you like?" Wei Ling asked, smiling at Su Jixiang, whose eyes were no longer focused on where else to go.
Su Jixiang took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, I'm not good at this. Just help me choose! I don't even know which one to pick! They're all very good-looking and beautiful! They all look good to me!"
"Madam, you have a good eye indeed!" Wei Ling said with a smile.
"Forget it!" Su Jixiang rolled his eyes at Wei Ling, "I don't know how to choose a horse at all. I just go by my feelings."
I have to say that the stables in the capital city know how to do business. The horses brought out from here are all fat and strong, with their fur combed and shiny, clean and tidy. One will be happy to see any of them, and will wish to buy them all!
"Who said you don't know how to choose horses! You obviously chose good horses!" Wei Ling said to Su Jixiang.
"You are probably the only one who praises me like this!" Su Jixiang felt embarrassed by what Wei Ling said.
She had been in the North for so long, and she had never thought about buying herself a horse. She learned to ride a horse when she had time, but she just learned it to be prepared. No matter where she went on weekdays, she would take a carriage. After all, she had a lot of things to deal with, and it was more convenient to do things in a carriage.
"Madam, you have good taste indeed," said the waiter, smiling, "The horses you chose are all excellent!"
"You have such a sweet mouth!" Su Jixiang said with a smile.
As a businessman, he would naturally say all the nice things he could, just to sell all his goods. Su Jixiang was a businessman himself, so he looked at the guy with approval.
"Since it was chosen by Madam, we'll take them all!" Wei Ling said to the clerk.
The guy was startled, then he smiled happily. If the smile on his face just now was a bit fake, then now his face was really as bright as a flower!
"Are you really going to buy them all?" Su Jixiang was also shocked. The horses she and Wei Ling had chosen together totaled nearly twenty! The stables were so luxurious, and the horses were so well groomed and fed. The price was definitely not cheap!
"Buy!" Wei Ling said with a generous smile, "As long as my wife likes it, I'll buy it!"
Su Jixiang was a little shocked, "Are you really going to buy them all?"
"If you believe your husband, just buy it." Wei Ling held Su Jixiang's hand and patted the back of her hand soothingly.
Although no one knows why Wei Ling is so generous, nor what he is up to, but ever since entering the capital, the couple has always behaved in a low-key manner. Wei Ling must have his own considerations for spending such a large sum of money in such a high-profile manner.
"Okay, whatever my husband says is what it is!" Su Jixiang did not delve into the reasons behind this and nodded with a smile.
"Thank you very much!" The man felt like pie in the sky when he saw that he had sold so many horses at once.
You have to know that the horses in their stables are really much more expensive than those outside. Although they do business with the rich and powerful in the capital, they are already considered to have good business if they can sell ten horses every month!
Selling eighteen horses at once means they don’t have to work this month!
Although there is no shortage of wealthy and noble men in the capital who are willing to spend lavishly, it is still rare to find someone who can actually come up with so much money to buy so many horses at once!
"The Marquis of Zhenbei is indeed magnanimous!" He was so happy that he directly revealed Wei Ling's identity.
Su Jixiang looked at him in surprise. The waiter then realized that he had spoken out of turn and quickly lowered his head. "Please settle the bill, sir. The horses will be delivered to your residence shortly!"
Wei Ling waved his hand and said with a nonchalant smile, "Since you already know my identity, then send the horses to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Someone will pay you!"
"Yes!" The waiter quickly retreated with the tray.
Wei Ling pulled Su Jixiang out of the stable surrounded by the crowd.
After the two of them got on the carriage, Su Jixiang looked at Wei Ling, "That guy..."
"The biggest boss behind this shop is the Prince of Cheng'en." Wei Ling said with a smile, "So the Prince of Cheng'en already knew about it the moment we entered!"
"Ah?" Su Jixiang was startled. "His wife is the eldest princess. Aren't you afraid that he might tamper with the horses?"
"He's not stupid!" Wei Ling laughed. "The princess doesn't know about his business! He wouldn't want to shoot himself in the foot. If I bought one or two horses, he might have done something, but if I bought so many at once, he wouldn't dare to do it! Are you going to stop doing business? This stable is making a lot of money!"
"Have you investigated the background of this stable?" Su Jixiang asked.
"Yes." Wei Ling nodded. "He won't tamper with the horses he sells. But I can let the princess know that I bought these horses."
"Oh!" Having said this, Su Jixiang seemed to understand why Wei Ling was so high-profile.
After all, the eldest princess is always paying attention to the movements of the couple. Wei Ling is spending a lot of money here, and the eldest princess must be dissatisfied. According to the eldest princess's petty mentality, she will eventually ask someone to investigate the details of this stable!
Su Jixiang raised his finger and gently tapped Wei Ling...
"You're such a bad guy!" She couldn't help laughing. "You're full of evil!"
"They're allowed to trip us up at every turn, but I'm not allowed to fight back?" Wei Ling smiled and pulled Su Jixiang into his arms. "Besides, they can bully me, but they can't bully my wife! This stable is connected to the Ministry of War. Do you know why His Majesty is so kind to the Princess and her husband?"
"Is it because the Princess is devoted to her brother, and because the Prince Consort once saved His Majesty's life?" Su Jixiang thought for a moment and then shook his head. "But this isn't enough to support the Princess's Mansion's current prosperity! There must be other reasons."
"My wife is truly intelligent." Wei Ling kissed the top of Su Jixiang's head and smiled. "As the consort of the emperor, Prince Cheng'en appears to be a wealthy and carefree man, not competing for anything. Just because he saved His Majesty's life, he could indeed live in luxury. But this is just an appearance. In reality, our eldest princess's consort secretly controls the capital's spies and does shady things for His Majesty! But his wife, the eldest princess, is unaware of this. The eldest princess always thought that His Majesty's favor towards their family was because she was His Majesty's sister, but in fact, it was because of this consort who was named Prince Cheng'en!"
