Chapter 35: There are ears in the partition wall

Yang Yuanqing once drank wine in Fuguitang next door. He knew that because the two elegant rooms needed to place porcelain and decorations between them, the walls in several places were very thin, with only a thin layer of wooden boards separated. The sound next door could not be blocked at all and could be clearly heard.

At this time, Yang Guang was sitting by the wall, listening quietly to the conversation next door.

"I also know that it is difficult now. Our head of the family got a child in his later years. He spoiled this child very much. He asked a martial artist to teach him martial arts since he was a child, and he was determined to make him famous. Money is not a problem. I can also pay a high deposit. I am just a little worried about whether the Yuwen family can help this. What I mean is, how can General Yuwen make me believe it?"

"Mr. Sui, don't worry!"

Yuwen Zhiji's laughter came from next door, "I might as well tell you the truth. This martial arts was actually manipulated by my father. We have arranged more than 100 people. We don't care about you. To put it bluntly, we only considered the family of officials and people like you. However, the Sui family is also a prominent family in Qinghe, and you are quite sincere, so I agreed. If I really can't believe me, then I can't do anything."

Yuwen Zhiji's voice was slightly higher, and Yang Guang next door could hear it clearly, and his fists couldn't help but clenched slowly.

Yuwen Chengdu sighed softly, this is called committing one's own sins. He admitted that he had arranged more than 100 people, who could still plead for him? Yuwen Zhi was young and frivolous, and he was ignorant of his words. His father was using martial arts. Can such words be said casually?

Yang Yuanqing squinted his eyes and drank slowly. Although he was old, he knew the worldly style very well. He even kept Yu Wen Zhiji's words silently, and he was still reliable in his work!

In the next room, Sui Dinglu took a sip of tea, smiled, and said slowly: "Since I have come to Yuwen's family, of course, because I believe you, this is how it goes! I offer two prices and two plans. One is a little easier. If my son can come back tomorrow, he will arrange for him to take the exam. As for whether he can pass the exam in the end, it depends on his own ability. I can pay one hundred taels of gold and pay half the deposit first, and the other plan is to allow him to pass the exam...."

Before Sui Dinglu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yuwen Zhiji with a smile, "Since you believe me so much, I might as well tell the old man that if your child wants to take the exam by himself, he will definitely not be able to get the exam. This time, 90% of the quota for the martial arts examination has been settled. In addition to our Yuwen family, there are other families. There are about 1,600 people from places like you, and there are many children from the capital. There are only a dozen places for the real foreign ones, and nearly a hundred people compete for one place. Do you think your child can compete? I advise you to choose the second plan!"

"The second plan is that I will pay 500 taels of gold and pay a deposit of 100 taels of gold first. After the matter is completed, I will pay all the rest."

Sui Dinglu winked at his nephew who was standing in the corner. His nephew walked forward with a bamboo box. The lid opened, and there were yellow pieces of gold inside, shining brightly, dazzling. Bao Sanlang next to him swallowed, and he received 10% of the commission. Of course, he also hoped that he could collect fifty taels of gold. Where can I find such a sucker?

Sui Dinglu took out four cakes and 100 taels of gold and pushed them to Yuwen Zhiji, "This is a deposit of 100 taels. After the matter is completed, all the remaining 400 taels will be paid."

Yuwen Zhiji inherited his father's greed, and the gold in front of him made him lose all his vigilance. The key is that his father told him that this martial arts ceremony was not a big deal, just like choosing a palace guard every year, but if he changed his method, it would be no big deal.

Yuwen Zhiji has already regarded the five hundred taels of gold as his own. He nodded and smiled, "If I ask your children to be promoted directly to officers, can you add a little more?"

"Of course it's better to be an officer, but the child is only seventeen years old and has not gone through anything, so I'm afraid he won't be able to do it."

"It's okay, those officers are all wine bags, don't I know?"

Yuwen Zhiji continued to encourage him, "My father can arrange for him to join the army as a genuine military officer, 800 taels of gold, what do you think?"

Sui Dinglu lowered his head and pondered for a while, "My only worry now is that the child cannot come tomorrow."

"This is OK. My father can arrange it. As long as he arrives when he officially registers, there will be no problems."

Sui Dinglu finally nodded and took out fifty taels of gold as an additional deposit. He smiled and said, "Because the head of the family did not have this arrangement in advance, if I agree on behalf of the head of the family, I have to give him a basis. Therefore, General Yuwen needs to write a receipt to me to explain this matter, and the party should also write a note. I can go back and explain it to the head of the family, and I will give you the note and gold later."

Yuwen Zhiji hesitated for a moment. His father told him about this kind of thing, not writing notes to prevent the handle from leaving outside. Bao Sanlang next to him was thinking about the commission of eighty taels of gold. His eyes lit up and he touched him gently, "Absolutely reliable, no problem."

Sui Dinglu smiled slightly, "Since General Yuwen is in a dilemma, then forget it. We should follow the second plan, five hundred taels of gold, to allow him to pass the martial arts exam."

As he said that, he took back fifty taels of gold, but Yuwen Zhiji held his hand down, "Okay, I'll write you a receipt."

In the carriage, Yang Guang leaned against the soft wall and opened the note written by Yuwen Zhiji, "Care 150 taels of gold from the Sui family in Qinghe to ensure that the Sui family passed the military service and became an official, with a total price of 800 taels of gold."

Yang Guang did not expect that Yuwen Shu had such a stupid son. In order to greed for more gold, he handed over the handle to others. Is the Yuwen family still short of these hundreds of taels of gold? It only shows that this person is extremely greedy and even more greedy than his father. Really, if there is a father, he will have a son.

He also married his daughter to the Yuwen family. Yang Guang sighed softly, but Yuwen Shiji is not bad. It is completely different from his father and brother. Yang Guang made up his mind to let his son-in-law Yuwen Shiji move out of Yuwen's house. He wanted to reward his son-in-law with a son-in-law's mansion.

Yang Yuanqing sat in the front row of the carriage and paid attention to Yang Guang's expression. He could see that Yang Guang had completely believed it, so he said carefully: "Your Majesty, it's still time to correct it now."

Yang Guang shook his head, "I really want to know if the name I gave Sui Guangyang can be the last one to make the list. Let's talk about it after the martial arts ends!"

Yuwen Shu worked in the afternoon in the Right Wu Guard Mansion in the Imperial City. As the martial arts began, his heart gradually calmed down. There were a lot of things accumulated in the past two days, which made him very busy.

At this time, his son Tomoe appears at the door of the room and whispered: "Father, I have something to do with my child."

Yuwen Zhiji is a palace guard and can go to the palace and come to his father's office without any obstacles.

Yuwen Shu put down his pen and smiled, "What's the matter?"

Yuwen Zhiji glanced at Shutonghe next to him. Yuwen Shu understood and waved to them, "You guys retreat!"

Several people left, and only the father and son were left in the room. Yu Wen Zhiji closed the door and went up to whisper, "Father, there is a big deal!"

Yuwen Shu immediately 'shh!' and pointed to the inside, "Go inside and talk!"

The inner room is where Yu Wenshu takes a nap at noon, and there is a bed. Yu Wenshu walked into the inner room and sat down on the bed, "What a big deal?"

Yuwen Zhiji told his father in detail about buying martial arts at noon today, but he hid the section on writing notes. He knew very well that his father would scold him to death after he knew it, and he dared not say it.

Yuwen Shu was silent for a while. He was not familiar with the Sui family in Qinghe and had never been in contact with him. Last night, Yang Su returned to Beijing and the emperor appointed him as the military inspector. Today, the big deal came to his door. Will there be any relationship between the two?

He didn't dare to return home. He had a lot of family affairs and had a short time, so he might not have taken measures so quickly. Moreover, he knew that Yang Su was very cautious and never did things that were unsure. Especially when it came to important officials like him, he would not act rashly. This was not Yang Su's style.

Yuwen Shu became greedy and bribed, and five hundred taels of gold also made him quite moved. He nodded, "You can accept his second plan and collect five hundred gold."

Yuwen Zhiji said anxiously: "What about helping him join the military? That's eight hundred taels of gold."

"no!"

Yuwen Shu vetoed this plan, "Being an officer is too conspicuous and others are not in the capital. If something goes wrong, it is difficult to fill it. Just pass the martial arts exam. You can go to Wang Shichong for this matter and tell him to do it."

Yuwen Zhiji was helpless and sighed in his heart. His father was too careful, three hundred taels of gold! He didn't want it.

"Father, I'm afraid Wang Shichong won't buy it, it's best that his father can write him a note."

Yuwen Shu took out his gold medal from his waist and handed it to him, "By this gold medal, he knew it was what I mean."

After pausing, Yuwen Shu said again: "If Wang Shichong is a little embarrassed, you can go to He Cheng. He is also my person. I'll say hello to him."

"Yes! Go now."

Yuwen Zhiji turned around and was about to leave, but Yuwen Shu stopped calling again, "Zhiji, you didn't write any notes for others!"

"No!" Yuwen Zhiji shook his head in a hurry.

Yuwen Shu nodded, "That's good. Yang Su came back yesterday. Be careful for her father. This kind of martial arts is not like a literary test. As long as you do it carefully, there will be no problem. The key is that you cannot leave any handle outside. Do you understand?"

"Boy understand!"

Yuwen Zhiji was a little uneasy, but he didn't dare to say that, and bowed and left in a hurry.

Yuwen Shu looked at his son's back as he walked away and nodded. His son was still quite capable. He could do everything he had to do and make money for him. This was a promising one by one. Although he had a bad reputation outside, he would be more restrained when he was older and became an official, just like his brother.
