Chapter 385: Bargaining
Half an hour ago, Wu Tao had just arrived in this remote alley.
This time, she brought her eldest son Wu Qi with her. Wu Qi is older, her husband is an official in Beijing, and she always writes to ask about her eldest son's studies.
Wu Zi'an is a real two-list jinshi, and he is an official in Beijing. In addition to the military attache and the emperor's relatives, eighty percent of those Beijing officials were selected by the Eight Classics, such a family, at least one child in the family, even if he didn't have a chance to be a Jinshi, he had to be a lifter, but Wu Zi'an's two sisters-in-law even Xiucai were mixed with water, not to mention lifting, and they couldn't touch the threshold at all.
Wu Tao didn't dare to tell Wu Zi'an's two sons' show that they spent money to get it, but Wu Zi'an didn't know, and he was looking forward to the two sons' middle move.
If he is really laissez-faire, his husband will not be able to explain, and his fellow clan will have to chew his tongue, and he will not be able to raise his head outside.
Wu Tao's idea of Wu Li was hit, who would have thought that it would not work, now that the exam is approaching, she has been looking for a long time temporarily, which made her finally find a way.
The next morning, she took her eldest son Wu Qi to the corner of Jinan Mansion to find over, is a lacquerware shop hidden in the alley, she stepped forward according to the agreed words, the shopkeeper led their wood to the back, Wu Taoshi lifted the curtain and went in, saw the person who made the appointment, and then relieved his heart.
She looked at the two men, both dressed as scholars. One sat at the table, with gray sideburns and a friendly smile, and the other stood by the window, not tall, with a very ordinary face, but small and slightly feminine.
Wu Tao took Wu Qi into the room, and the amiable old gentleman got up, "The noble man is here, sit down." ”
Wu Tao glanced at the stool, reluctantly sat down, let his son and the old gentleman also sit down, and saw that the man in front of the window looked at a pomegranate tree outside the window as if no one was around, and now the pomegranate flowers were almost gone, and only two of them withered away.
"This is the person?" Wu Tao and the old gentleman made a look.
The old gentleman laughed, "Exactly, don't worry, you are a veteran." ”
Wu Tao frowned, "Look at this young age. ”
The old gentleman said in a low voice, "I am twenty years old this year, and I am thinner, but I have already taken the imperial examination once, and you know that I am on the list!" ”
Wu Tao looked at the man again, the man was still looking out the window, Wu Tao compared him with his own son, "My son is burly, will there be such a big difference?" When the time comes, won't it be easy for people to see the clues? ”
The old gentleman said that you can rest assured, "We are just changing people halfway, and we are not changing people in front of the door, as long as Ling Lang is not publicized in the tribute courtyard, provoking the eyes of others, these many people, we changed him halfway, how can we be discovered?" ”
Originally, Wu Tao looked for Wu Li, just because the Wu family was somewhat similar in figure and appearance, and they could directly replace the entry, but in the end, there were a few notes on the paper with a description of the black and white face and whether there was a beard, which was not real, and it was easy to replace people.
But if Wu Li doesn't succeed, she can't use this trick, just like the old gentleman said, she has to change people halfway.
Halfway through the substitution, you can pay attention to it.
The Gongyuan is strictly guarded, and if she wants to change people halfway, the relationship between the dots is not just one or two people, but these don't need Wu Tao to ask, as long as she pays the money, people will get the money, and they will naturally do it for her.
It's just the money...... A little too much......
Wu Tao snorted in a low voice, Wu Qi got her voice, and said as she had said before she came, "This is not a matter of publicity, what if there are acquaintances in my Kaoshe area, then what should I do?" Didn't people knock it out when they hit the eye? ”
There are many people in the township test, and it is unlikely that you will meet acquaintances, but it is not small, the old gentleman was silent, Wu Tao saw the opportunity, and immediately said, "There is no perfect way to do this, you are with us to ask for six hundred taels of snowflake silver, it's too dark!" ”
When she spoke, she was about to turn her face, but the old gentleman looked at it and hurriedly said, "Is there a foolproof thing like this?" Noble person, you think, even if Ling Lang gets the guidance of Wenqu Xing and goes to the test by himself, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no mistakes, his brain is confused, the pen is trembling, and he will lose a lifter! Our little gentleman is used to being a familiar hand, although the township test has only been tested once, but the county test, the government test, and the road test in various places have gone through I don't know how many times! He is a spectrum, otherwise he wouldn't dare to do such a big thing, if he catches it, it's not for fun, we all have to take care of it! ”
Wu Tao heard it and knew that this was the truth, but six hundred taels was too much! If she used Wu Pear, it would be sent away for less than a hundred taels, and Wu Li's knowledge is also good, how can she have a chance of winning six or seven percent. This man has been a good man once, but six hundred taels, six times!
"Humph! Speaking of which, there is still nothing that can be done! ”
The old gentleman stopped talking, Wu Tao sneered, got up, looked like he was leaving, Wu Qi got her eyes, and the door curtain was opened.
"Noble and slow!" The old gentleman got up hurriedly, "What are you doing here?" What do you want to do, let's discuss! ”
When Wu Tao heard this, he didn't talk nonsense, and said directly, "You don't have a charter to do things like this, I won't give six hundred taels, at most three hundred taels, I will pay a deposit of fifty taels first, and then pay the full amount after the matter is completed!" ”
When the old gentleman heard this, he was taken aback, this is a bargain!
"This, this ......" he was speechless, but the man who had been standing by the window for a long time and watching the flowers chuckled.
Everyone looked at the man, Wu Tao knew that he was the main owner of the bargain, although the waist cut was a little ruthless, but this person must be a bargain, when the time comes, each step back, four hundred taels, at most four hundred and fifty taels, can take this matter down, she will also have less blood, less flesh pain for a while!
Wu Tao's heart crackled, staring at the man without turning, only to see that the man turned his face, his eyebrows were beautiful, and his red lips were slightly upturned.
Wu Tao squinted, and secretly said in his heart that he could use this person's appearance to make some more articles and lower some prices, and the person had already opened his mouth.
The sound is crisp, like jade colliding.
"It's good to go, don't send it."
I don't send ...... Wu Tao is still waiting to bargain with him, who would have thought that he wouldn't talk about it!
"You, you ......" It will be Wu Tao's turn to be speechless.
The man followed the curtain raised by Wu Qi, went out sideways, and walked away quickly.
Wu Tao was shocked, and in an instant, he was extremely angry, and slapped his palm on the table in front of the old gentleman's face, "Dou Sect, this is the person you found?!" ”
