You'd Better Prepare More Silver!
It's really not Zhou Wanwan's fault; these people are all shrewd. What if they tried to cheat her after she caught the prey?
The leader sneered, "Little brat, what if you can't hit her? We haven't even discussed that yet."
Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "If you can't hit it, then I'll give you ten thousand taels."
"Hahaha..." Everyone around burst into laughter.
Someone said:
"Shen Wanjun, I never thought that you, the richest man in Jiangnan, would have such a day!"
"We were just so bored that we actually thought of interacting with a little girl."
Shen Wanjun said helplessly:
I never expected to be looked down upon like this by a little girl.
I'm just so angry. There's clearly nothing in these mountains, but this little girl insists she can catch anything.
"Little girl, we've got a deal. Ten thousand taels it is, I don't mind it being too little, but you can only go and fight alone."
Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:
"Okay then! But if I hit it, you can't go back on your word!"
Also, these few types of wild game are too few; could you write about more?
Let me write it!
Shen Wanjun had just arrived in Dongshan Prefecture; how could he possibly know Zhou Wanwan's famous name?
Besides, he never paid any attention to women.
"Can a little girl even write? Forget it! I'll do it!"
Fang Zhiyuan chuckled, "I just couldn't help it. This person is the second-place winner in this year's preliminary examination."
Everyone stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Zhou Wanwan picked up the pen and wrote with great flourish, finishing in no time:
"Shen Wanjun, right? The richest man in Jiangnan, right? I'll remember that."
What do you think of this contract?
Shen Wanjun's lips twitched. A six-year-old girl's handwriting was better than his own. How could he possibly accept this?
The two quickly pressed their handprints, Zhou Wanwan said with a smile, "You guys wait for me here! I'll go look for it deep in the mountains."
Shen Wanjun looked at her with a mocking gaze and said:
"With arms and legs like yours, don't let yourself become wolf food."
"Then you'll blame it on me. Isn't this your sister? Why aren't you taking care of her?"
Zhou Qingyan, Gu Sinian, Zhou Qingchen, Zhou Qinghe all looked at him with pity, but their gazes contained not only pity but also a hint of schadenfreude.
Shen Wanjun glared at them and said:
"I never imagined that you brothers would abandon your sister for money."
The people of Dongshan Prefecture are all excellent.
Is he mentally ill?
He was the one who wanted the competition, but now he's trying to manipulate them.
Zhou Wanwan taught them this; this is PUA.
Gu Sinian glanced at him indifferently and said, "You'd better prepare more money!"
After all, he wasn't sure what Zhou Wanwan was capable of doing.
He glanced at the contract and almost died laughing.
A wild boar costs 1,000 taels, a black bear 10,000 taels, a wolf 10,000 taels, a tiger 50,000 taels, a leopard 50,000 taels, an eagle 100,000 taels, a wild deer 6,000 taels, an antelope 8,000 taels, a lynx 20,000 taels...
Now he's even a little afraid that Zhou Wanwan might hunt down all the wild beasts in the entire mountain.
Shen Wanjun snorted coldly and said:
"We students from Jiangnan always carry money when we go out, unlike the students from Dongshan Prefecture here."
Just like this time when I went on a long trip, my father gave me 1 million taels of silver.
He had a strong sense of superiority.
Gu Sinian and the others looked at him as if he were an idiot.
He also spoke eloquently:
"However, the girls from your Dongshan Prefecture are quite impressive; they actually dared to go into the mountains alone."
Girls in the Jiangnan where I live prefer to stay indoors, doing things like embroidery, playing musical instruments, and dancing.
Unlike the girls here, who have such a tiring life, having to take the imperial examinations.
Taking the imperial examinations is not something just anyone can do; can a girl really understand it?
The students from Jiangnan burst into laughter.
Fang Zhiyuan looked at them and said:
"What's so funny? Should women be confined to the inner quarters?"
I think women should read more books, because reading helps them understand things, and the children they raise will be more normal and won't be like fools.
Shen Wanjun squinted at him and said:
"Are you saying I'm an idiot? I think you're the idiot! Look at yourself, what's the difference between you and a lackey?"
Others might not dare to say it, but I certainly do. Your father is a prefect, and my father isn't much less.
You and Cheng Chao are a pair of lackeys. One of you calls a six-year-old "Miss," and the other calls Gu Sinian "Young Master." Hahaha! That's hilarious.
Dongshan Prefecture has truly broadened my horizons!
Fang Zhiyuan sneered, "What do you know? Your shallow understanding is not worthy of speaking to me."
Shen Wanjun laughed heartily:
Why hasn't that little girl come back yet?
Could it have been eaten by a wild beast? There are plenty of wild beasts in these mountains!
Zhou Wanwan was incredibly busy, her hands trembling with excitement as she gave orders. "Hurry, hurry, this is all money! It's so rare to finally trick a fool like this!"
The Old Scholar Tree chuckled and said, "I'm just afraid he'll renege on his promise later."
Zhou Wanwan laughed and said, "It's best if he denies it. I'll just go to his house and empty it."
The Old Scholar Tree thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you somewhere."
Soon, Zhou Wanwan was led by the Old Scholar Tree to a nearby mountain. The Old Scholar Tree said, "There are things from Zhou Family Village here. That old woman from Zhou Family Village hid them very well; she's hidden a lot of good stuff here!"
The Old Scholar Tree quickly used its roots to pry open the door, Zhou Wanwan walked directly into a cave.
She glanced at the contents of the cave and said, "Old Madam Zhou is truly remarkable! She's hoarded so much stuff."
The Old Scholar Tree said:
"We've only found out about this one so far, but there's definitely more than one."
The Old Madam Zhou; she managed to hide all these caves.
It must have taken quite a bit of effort.
The cave was filled with bags of refined rice and flour.
Coarse and fine salt were stored in earthenware jars, sealed with mud, enough to feed a thousand people for several years.
The brand-new quilts, cotton-padded clothes, and fur coats were folded neatly into squares.
There were also dried cured meat, whole-grain cakes, tea leaves, and honey on the side.
There were also official kiln porcelain, mutton fat jade artifacts, gold bowls and silver pots, strings of copper coins, and bows, swords, and armor neatly arranged in the corner.
Grain, salt, cloth, cotton, medicine, oil, candles, weapons, gold, silver, and jewelry were piled up like mountains.
Zhou Wanwan looked at these things and said:
"Old Madam Zhou is really something, she actually hoarded so much stuff."
Something feels off about me. Look at these weapons, do you think an old woman would own them?
The Old Scholar Tree frowned and said:
"Actually, this is what I think: this Old Madam Zhou must be no ordinary person."
I suspect she's colluding with many bandits, and these were all stolen by them."
Zhou Wanwan thought the Old Scholar Tree's analysis made a lot of sense. Dongshan Prefecture had many things to offer, but it was full of bandits.
