Chapter 160 Bargaining
A light flashed in Wen Wan's eyes, but her face remained calm, "Hey, my family can still live well, but it's really not worthwhile to take risks for a thousand taels, so let's forget it."
Mr. Wei's mouth twitched and he barely controlled his expression, "One thousand taels is not enough for you to take risks? You two really don't know how high the sky is."
Wen Wan pretended to sigh, "Hey, we don't want the thousand taels of silver anyway. We are going down the mountain now..."
As she said that, she took on the bargaining attitude of buying vegetables at the wet market, took Zhou Linling's arm and walked out.
As she walked, she paid attention to Mr. Wei and Master Li from the corner of her eye.
The two of them exchanged glances furtively, and then Mr. Wei quickly walked around to the two of them again.
"Don't worry, little friends. You have finally gone through many challenges to get to the mountain temple. How could you just give up? You just left without giving it a try. People who don't know what's going on when you turn around really think we are Wei. The family is acting like a rogue.”
He spoke sincerely and seemed to have their best interests at heart.
"We, the Wei family, are not that stingy. How about this? I'll add... plus one hundred taels. If you get the banknote, you can get one thousand one hundred taels. How about that?"
Wen Wan pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Wei, the Wei family is the natal family of the Queen Mother and the richest man in Haicheng. Your offer... is only one hundred taels? Why do you have the nerve to offer it? Forget it, we don't want any banknotes. , just want to go down the mountain.”
She pulled Zhou Lingling to leave.
Master Li, the Qintian Supervisor in the distance, also changed his expression when he saw this.
He walked over with a fly whisk in hand, "Mr. Wei, this girl is right. Why are the dignified Wei family so stingy in taking action? There is no way to lose the Queen Mother. I think it is better to simply double the reward and they get it. If you want a banknote, give them two thousand taels each.”
"Two thousand taels?" Old Wei moved his fingers, somewhat unhappy.
Two thousand taels for one person, four thousand taels for two people, which is a year's profit for a prosperous shop.
Master Li coughed twice and winked at Mr. Wei.
Mr. Wei gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay! Just two thousand taels."
Wen Wan saw the look between the two of them, Guan Si, and became more and more sure of her guess.
She thought for a moment, pretending to be struggling with the temptation of silver, and then reluctantly nodded.
"Two thousand taels, I really can't refuse. Then... let's give it a try."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Lingling next to her trembled with fright.
Zhou Lingling is not as smart as her, but she is not stupid either.
Now, even he can see that there is something fishy here.
Master Li and Mr. Wei were clearly playing a double act to coax them into fishing for silver notes from the wooden box.
His face wrinkled, and he looked at Wen Wan worriedly, as if he was saying with his eyes, why did he still go to the box to touch the banknotes when he knew there was a problem?
Wen Wan responded with a comforting look.
Perhaps her calmness infected Zhou Lingling. Although Zhou Lingling was trembling with fear, she gritted her teeth and followed her.
Wen Wan stood in front of the wooden box, clasped her hands, and bowed in the direction of the main hall of the mountain temple.
"Mountain God, mountain god, please give me strength! If I really get the banknote, today next year, I will come with melon and fruit scented oil to fulfill my wish."
After finishing speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and stretched her hand into the box.
Zhou Lingling was sweating for her.
Then, she quickly took out a banknote from it and shouted with an exaggerated expression: "Bless the mountain god! Sure enough, I got the banknote."
Mr. Wei, who was not far away, curled his lips and his temples jumped suddenly.
Zhou Lingling became more and more surprised as he watched, but when it was finally his turn, he felt a little timid.
Wen Wan pushed him and said, "Go ahead. Pray to the mountain god first. The mountain god is very spiritual and will definitely bless you."
Mountain god? Zhou Lingling looked towards the direction of the main hall suspiciously. Against the light, the main hall was dark and only a vague statue of the god could be seen.
"Is worshiping the mountain god really useful?"
Why doesn't he believe it so much?
Wen Wan nodded affirmatively, "It's useful, don't worry."
Zhou Lingling's mouth twitched, "Okay, but I don't believe in the mountain god, I believe in you."
Wen Wan was startled, and then she saw the young man turning around, as if he was heroically dying, and put his hand into the hole with his eyes closed.
She was stunned for a moment, then her smile bloomed, and a warmth rose in her heart.
The middle school boy is really full of enthusiasm, give him a little light, and he will dare to give you a bright starry sky in return.
A good boy, worthy of close friendship.
"Huh?"
Zhou Lingling took back her hand in disbelief and stared at the banknote in her hand, her eyes widened.

"Sister Xiaowan, I, I got the banknote?"
Wen Wan raised her hand and poked his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Yes. You got it. It seems that this mountain temple is really very effective. As long as we worship the god, we will all be lucky enough to get the banknotes."
Zhou Lingling was doubtful, always feeling that something was wrong.
The people around him were dumbfounded, and everyone secretly looked into the mountain god's hall.
People are thinking that the mountain god here is so efficacious, so they will have to come often to worship in the future.
Mr. Wei fulfilled his promise and indeed gave Wen and Wan two thousand taels of silver notes each.
The other two people who got the banknotes were jealous.
How could they have thought that they could bargain with the banknotes?
The onlookers dispersed, leaving only the Qiu Hua messenger and the four young men who had received the banknotes, and were invited to the Wei family's carriage.
There were three carriages in front and behind, and the young man who was chosen as the Qiuhua messenger was sitting alone in one.
The remaining four people sat in twos and twos, and Wen Wan naturally got into a carriage with Zhou Lingling.
As soon as she sat down, Zhou Linling came over and asked eagerly: "Sister Xiaowan, what's going on? Tell me quickly, I'm going to die of curiosity!"
Wen Wan raised her hand and rubbed his head, then leaned into his ear and lowered her voice to explain.
"It's actually not complicated. You can spot the clues as long as you observe carefully. When I was soaking in the hot springs, I probably saw the birthmarks on a few girls."
"The first girl who touched the banknote had a birthmark on her body, and she got the banknote."
"The second boy who went up, I'm not sure if he has a birthmark, he didn't get the banknote."
"The two girls who came up behind had no birthmarks on their bodies, so they both failed."
"If we only observe girls, we can already make a preliminary judgment that those with birthmarks will get banknotes, and those without birthmarks will be eliminated by them."
Zhou Lingling couldn't keep up with her train of thought. After thinking carefully for a while, she managed to figure it out.
"According to this inference, we both have birthmarks on our bodies, so we can also get the banknotes. But is this too risky?"
Wen Wan nodded, "Yeah. So, I didn't try to test the reaction of Mr. Wei and Master Qin Tianjian later."
Zhou Lingling thought of something and her eyes widened, "So you bargained on purpose?"
