Why keep yourself?

Because of Shi Yiwen's rhetorical question, Wu Cai, who was suspicious, lost his mind, but when he saw the fleeting disappointment in Shi Yiwen's eyes, he sat still and suddenly laughed.

"Why do you want to keep me?"

After asking rhetorically, Wu Cai said again.

"If I say that my current Wolong can help Shi Gongzi a lot, and I boast like this, don't say that Gongzi doesn't believe it, even I don't believe it myself. Although I Wu Cai said that he had read poetry and books since he was a child, because of his limited talent and learning, he failed to try and failed, so he could only find a side door and cheat a few taels of silver to make a living. Wu's talent is naturally like Wu's name - no talent! ”

When Wu Cai said this, it aroused Shi Yiwen's interest, and he looked at Wu Cai, who couldn't help laughing at himself, and felt a little appreciation for him.

"Why did you come here, to be honest, I just feel that I owe you money, and I see that there is no one around you to talk, drink tea, or play chess, so I came here for this."

Hearing this, Shi Yiwen couldn't help but be stunned, this is also a reason?

Wu Cai...... Your name will come up with it too.

Talking, drinking tea? And you? It's better to chat and drink tea with Xiao Lian and Kou Yun, at least it's pleasing to the eye, isn't it?

Shi Yiwen's reaction fell in Wu Caihe's eyes, and he subconsciously brushed his beard and said:

"What, Shi Gongzi doesn't need it? If you don't need it, then Wu will still go, but I've been here, even if the money I owe you before is repaid, neither of us will owe anyone in the future!"

Hearing this, Shi Yiwen thought this person was quite interesting, thought about it, and then said.

"That being the case, I won't let you go! I'll let you stay with me! Tell me, how do you want to accompany me?"

Wu Cai laughed.

"Shi Gongzi, I haven't finished my words yet, it's okay to leave me with you, but when I talk to the front, you want me to stay with you, and you have to pay the silver!"

Shi Yiwen, who was originally in the Ming Dynasty, felt that this day was very boring, but he was happy when he heard it, and he felt more and more that this person was a little interesting, so he simply asked.

"What do you mean by that?"

At this moment, Kou Yun brought the tea over, and Wu Cai picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Well, good tea!"

After putting down the teacup, Wu Caicai continued.

"Shi Gongzi, I, Wu Cai, have been concentrating on the imperial examination for more than 20 years, as for exhausting the family resources and making the family impoverished, I thought about it, so I had to make a heartbreak, change my course, and come to the house to be a helper and earn a few taels of silver to survive. However, although there are many dignitaries and wealthy families in Nanjing, I don't know anyone, and I only have a few encounters with Shi Gongzi after thinking about it, hahahaha, just now I said that I want to accompany you, and you should return your silver, it is all fake, you really want to keep me, chat with me, drink tea, I want to support my family, of course I want silver! ”

Kou Yun, who was standing on the side, raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but snort, although the Shi family has no rules, but in front of outsiders, he still has to abide by the rules.

Staring at him for a while, Shi Yiwen pondered for a moment.

"Well, speaking of which, chatting and drinking tea with me is also a very important position, but I don't know how much you want to be paid in a year?"

Wu Cai said without humility.

"I think I Wu Cai, although I claim to be talentless, but I have also been reading poetry and books since childhood, although I dare not say that I know astronomy, I know geography, but the medical astrology, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also a little bit of one or two, but the imperial examination is not passable, so I live here. I'm not a money-grubbing person, five hundred taels a year is enough!"

"Hmph, five hundred taels a year, does Mr. think he is an Oiran on the Qinhuai River?"

Kou Yun, who was standing aside, couldn't help but say sarcastically, Wu Cai didn't care about her sarcasm, raised his eyes, and said with a smile.

"The Oiran is five hundred taels a night, and it is sold for a while, and Wu is five hundred taels for a certain age, and it is sold for a lifetime, but five hundred taels is not much."

Get!

It is indeed rare to see people with such thick skin.

"Yun'er, don't be rude!"

Then Shi Yiwen laughed.

"As far as I know, even if a scholar takes the imperial examination and is admitted to the Jinshi, any county governor will only earn a few dozen taels of silver a year, although the number you want is not too much, but it is also worthy of ten years of Zhixian County!"

"Since it is a magistrate, how can it only rely on Yulu? The magistrate can scrape the ground, but he can only scrape the son! However, if you can't do it, I can only ask you for more compensation, which will save Wu from messing around in the future. Do you think that's the truth? ”

Wu Cai laughed.

"If we can't talk about this, then I'll leave now!"

Shi Yiwen, who looked at him silently, knowing that Wu Cai would not leave, smiled slightly.

"Wu Cai, since you are here, then I also have to say a few words, what about the five hundred taels of silver? It's not much, but since you said you want to chat and drink tea with me, it has to make me feel like it's worth the money, right? ”

It was because of boredom that Shi Yiwen, who accompanied Wu Cai to talk here and there, which would cause a wave in his heart.

This Wu Cai is also funny!

Well, Shi Yiwen has to admit that after crossing over, his appearance looks very young, and he did let him be deceived once last time, and after meeting again, he put on a harmless appearance, and it is reasonable to be mistaken for a well-deceived and inexperienced son.

But...... This guy's routine is too low-level.

Play, have nothing to do, just have fun!

Shi Yiwen, who was bored, did not poke him, after all, the past days were indeed a little boring, so it's okay, just right, play with him and pass the time.

Wu Cai saw him like this, and knew that he was only one foot away from the door, as long as he could reflect his own value, maybe his dream of earning five hundred taels this year would be realized, Wu Cai, who was an old fox, didn't say much at this time, just squinted and smiled at Shi Yiwen and said.

"What Childe said is very true, since you drink and chat with Childe, you must always make Childe feel that it is worth the money!"

As he spoke, Wu leaned forward and said tentatively.

"Childe, you are a nobleman, maybe you don't care much about the little things on the street, you shouldn't have heard of it, Nanjing in addition to the unity soap of the childe, there is an extra kind of soap, now in Nanjing is quite popular, I heard that on the dock, every day is a ship of soap to transport over, it is estimated that it has been sold all over Nanjing."

"Soap?"

Shi Yiwen was slightly surprised and said, he was only busy with mosquito coils for a while, and he really didn't care much about the soap factory.

Soap?

Who else can make soap but themselves?

The Tang family?

No, didn't he and her already make an agreement?

Shi Yiwen's surprise fell in Wu Cai's eyes, and sure enough, he hadn't gotten the news yet, this discovery made him a little proud, and the reason why he chose to come here now was because of the discovery of soap.

"It's the soap, don't you know it?"
