Chapter 772: Money is not a thing outside of one’s body
"Master won't harm us, it must be a talisman."
Muxiang chuckled and said that when she was a child, the aunties in the village would go to the temple to ask for amulets for their grandchildren.
Those girls don't have this treatment.
So she treasured the gift from her master and kept it carefully by her side.
"It's an amulet."
Jiang Wan's lips curled up slightly. Most people like to hear nice words, and Taoist Minghui's words dispelled a lot of her worries.
"How much silver did you pay for it?"
Cheng Jin also happily put away the amulet, and Jiang Wan made a palm gesture.
"Fifty taels? That's not expensive."
Cheng Jin muttered to himself, but when he saw Jiang Wan shaking her head, he continued:
"Could it be five hundred taels?"
Isn’t this too expensive?
"no."
Jiang Wan still shook her head, and Mu Xiang said in a vain way, "Could it be five taels of silver?"
Five taels of silver was a lot for Muxiang.
"Fifty thousand taels."
Jiang Wan never stops talking until her words are shocking, and her words left everyone dumbfounded.
"Fifty thousand taels?!"
Cheng Jin raised his voice, "Robbery?!"
Not only him, Fuling and Muxiang were also extremely shocked. They had never seen so much silver.
But just as Cheng Jin finished speaking, he saw Minghui coming out of the yard.
Cheng Jin was embarrassed for a moment. He didn't expect that others would hear him talking about others behind their backs.
"Does this gentleman have any objection?"
Taoist Master Minghui's unhurried voice made Cheng Jin feel uneasy for some reason, and he waved his hands quickly.
"It's not my money, how could I have any objection, cough cough cough..."
"This is what I voluntarily give to the Taoist priest."
Jiang Wan was afraid that Taoist Minghui would misunderstand her, so she hurriedly explained, "Compared to our lives, money is nothing more than our own possessions."
Cheng Jin: …
He had a constipated look on his face.
Seeing that Jiang Wan was such a money-obsessed person, why didn't he believe that she was so righteous?
"The money belongs to Wanwan, she can use it however she wants."
Song Jiuyuan was obsessed with love. He gently took Jiang Wan's hand and said, "Wan Wan did all this for me."
Everyone: ...
Can you be more confident?
"The food is ready, please come in."
A young Taoist priest appeared and interrupted everyone's conversation. Cheng Jin said unnaturally, "I'm just hungry. Let's go."
"Enjoy your meal, everyone."
Taoist Master Minghui did not follow them. He looked at them with a smile on his face.
"Master, that young master is so rude!"
The little boy behind him had an angry look on his face, obviously dissatisfied with Cheng Jin's attitude just now.
"As long as we get the money, we can expand our temple a little more."
Minghui's smile deepened. "It's not his money. Why do you care so much about it? Besides, he has no ill intentions."
Minghui can see more clearly than anyone whether a person’s attitude is good or evil.
The boy looked confused, Minghui gently patted his shoulder, "Have someone arrange the food properly, don't be rude."
"Yes, Master."
The little boy looked as if he had learned a lesson, but he didn't say anything more.
Jiang Wan and the others had already arrived at the backyard. Sanqing Temple was different from previous temples and did not practice a completely vegetarian diet.
So there were scrambled eggs, stir-fried chicken, and a bowl of carrot soup on Jiang Wan and his friends’ table.
When she just came in, Jiang Wan found that Sanqing Temple was very simple and the meal was prepared with great care.
"Eat it."
Song Jiuyuan served Jiang Wan a bowl of soup, which tasted good. Everyone was hungry, so they did not hold back.
After the meal, the Taoist priest arranged a temporary place for them to stay.
Each person had a room, and smelling the subtle fragrance in the temple, Jiang Wan's heart rarely calmed down.
The conditions in the room were still simple and cold. Jiang Wan moved out a large soft quilt from the space.
She was not worried that Song Jiuyuan and the others would be cold, after all, there were quilts in the carriage.
Having not had a good rest last night, she felt very sleepy and fell asleep on the couch.
After a good night's sleep, Jiang Wan woke up early the next morning and put the quilt and other things into the space.
She stretched, opened the door, and a little boy came outside bringing a basin of hot water.
"Please wash up, my dear guest."
"Thank you, I can do it myself, I don't need you to wait on me."
Jiang Wan looked at the little boy in front of her. He looked no more than ten years old, skinny, and wearing a thin Taoist robe. The shoes on his feet had his toes exposed, making him feel very cold.
"The master said that our distinguished guest has a kind heart and needs to be served carefully."
The little boy looked up with his innocent eyes and a sincere expression. It seemed that he was truly grateful for the money given by Jiang Wan.
"Your master earned that money through his own ability."
Jiang Wan washed up with hot water, and when she saw the boy's elegant features, she couldn't help asking:
"Are you learning skills here at such a young age?"
"Yes."
The boy's name is Xuancheng. Xuancheng is very polite in front of Jiang Wan, "I was rescued from the mountain by my master.
There were many children in the family and my parents could not support them. My master saw that I had some wisdom and took me back to the temple.
"Are all the disciples in your temple like this?"
In fact, Jiang Wan had a guess in her mind that these days little Taoist priests and little monks were all children rescued by kind-hearted monks and Taoist priests.
"yes."
Xuan Cheng thought of his master's money-obsessed appearance and couldn't help but explain in a low voice, "Master is not greedy for money.
But Guanli has too many mouths and he has to support himself."
There are not many brothers who have left their jobs, and even fewer can bring back money, so the master has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
"I know."
Jiang Wan still admired kind-hearted people these days, and she took out a few snacks from the package.
"Try it."
"I don't dare."
Xuan Cheng stepped back a few steps, "I can't accept things from distinguished guests privately."
"Just a snack."
Jiang Wan stuffed it into his hand and said, "It's not worth much money. I gave it to you because I saw how careful you were."
Thinking about how when she opened the door early in the morning, the little girl's hands and feet were red from the cold, but she still stood firmly at the door, it seemed that she didn't want to treat her badly.
"this……"
Xuan Cheng's little face was twisted together, and Jiang Wan found it inexplicably cute.
"Oh no, Master, someone lost another swaddling cloth outside!"
Someone exclaimed, and Jiang Wan heard many footsteps running outside.
Xuan Cheng's face was also full of anxiety. He carefully placed the snacks in his sleeves, probably planning to take them back to eat with his fellow apprentices.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Wan looked at Xuan Cheng with curiosity, who had a depressed face. Xuan Cheng didn't dare to hide it from her, so he had to tell her his guess honestly.
"The master is kind-hearted and often helps children living down the mountain. Those who have children and cannot afford to raise them just leave them at the door of our temple.
This is actually how I came to the Taoist temple.”
So even though they felt that this was wrong, they couldn't stop the master.
After all, if the master had been indifferent at the beginning, perhaps they would not be here.
"I'll go and take a look."
Jiang Wan was shocked. She didn't expect Minghui to be so kind. She suddenly felt a little inferior to her.
As soon as I walked out of the house, I met Song Jiuyuan. I guess he also heard the noise.
"Shall we go take a look at the front together?"
