Watching Little Black, Xiao Ruiyuan's eyes twitched, believing that this horse hardly qualified as a horse, though it could just about serve to teach children.
Yet what followed took him by surprise. Not only was Little Black gentle, but after his teaching, it actually began to understand some simple commands. Had it not been so scrawny, he might have thought it was a retired war horse.
"Who picked out this horse?" Xiao Ruiyuan asked Zhenzhen curiously, impressed by the discerning eye for horses, thinking that, although small, with proper care, it might turn out to be a great steed.
"My big sister picked it. She spent only Eight Tael Silver! The day Little Black arrived, he had diarrhea. We all thought he wouldn't make it, but my big sister said he would definitely get better, and sure enough, Little Black did and even grew prettier. Big brother, don't you think my big sister has a great eye?"
