Chapter 72 Sure enough, I gave too little
Jiang Suisui casually glanced at the banknotes on the table. There were at least 10,000 taels of silver. "I wonder how many talismans the old man wants to buy?"
"I have quite a few shops, old man. The problems are only with eight shops around the capital. The others haven't had any problems yet." Zhu Fu wanted to buy one for every shop.
But he thought about it and realized that if so many stores bought talismans, even if he could afford it, Jiang Sui might not have that many talismans.
Jiang Suisui drew seven talismans on the spot and handed them to Zhu Fu. The talismans of this shop had already been used.
Zhu Fu accepted the talisman with a smile: "Little Master, I want to ask, what will happen if you return to where you came from?"
Jiang Suisui smiled faintly: "The old man will know in a few days."
After hearing what she said, Zhu Fu didn't ask any more questions.
When Wu Chengye ran back to the market, he saw that the stall was empty.
Thinking that he had only spent ten taels of silver on the amulet, which seemed a bit too little, he went back to ask his mother.
Because of her position, she often went to the Taoist temple to buy amulets for him, but those amulets were useless and he was still injured.
When Wu Chengye got home, he went straight to the yard where his mother lived: "Mom, Mom."
Old Mrs. Wu was watering the flowers in the yard. When she heard her son's anxious voice, she couldn't help but frown: "You're such a grown man, why are you still so impatient?"
Wu Chengye reached out and took the water scoop from her hand: "Mom, I have something to ask you."
Mrs. Wu looked at him snatching the water scoop from her hand and said unhappily, "Just talk if you want to. Why are you snatching my water scoop?"
Wu Chengye asked directly, "Mom, let me ask you, how much silver was the amulet you asked for me at the Taoist temple?"
Old Mrs. Wu knew that her son never believed in these things, so every time she asked for them back, she had to explain them again and again before he was willing to wear them.
Today, the sun was rising from the west, and he actually asked, "Why are you asking this? Do you think this thing is good?"
"Mom, don't worry about it for now. Just tell me how many you usually ask for." Wu Chengye asked anxiously.
Mrs. Wu didn't keep it a secret: "Two hundred taels a ticket, good for a year."
Wu Chengye said, "It's really too little."
"What do you mean by less?" Old Mrs. Wu heard his incoherent words and had no idea what he meant.
Wu Chengye told Old Lady Wu everything about what happened yesterday at Prince Luo's Mansion and today at the market.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu quickly reached out to touch his chest, only to see that his clothes were indeed cut by a sharp weapon. She was so scared that she almost fell to the ground.
Wu Chengye quickly reached out and supported her: "Mom, are you okay?"
Mrs. Wu calmed down before speaking, "You said they only took ten taels of silver from you?"
Wu Chengye nodded: "Yeah."
Old Madam Wu hurriedly told the maidservant, "Caijuan, hurry up and prepare the valuable gifts. Go and call the old master, the young masters, the young ladies, and the ladies."
Wu Chengye looked at her in confusion: "Mom, what are you doing?"
Old Mrs. Wu was so angry!
This child is good in everything except social skills.
She slapped him on the arm and said, "Kid, they saved your life, shouldn't we go and thank them?"
Wu Chengye had only thought about asking about the price and making up for the shortfall, but he didn't expect his mother to come to his house to express her gratitude in such a grand manner.
Mrs. Wu was so disappointed: "Your life is only worth ten taels of silver! If something happens to you today, how will I live?"
Wu Chengye saw her eyes were red, and immediately comforted her: "Mom, don't cry, I was wrong, isn't it okay?"
Old Mrs. Wu glanced at him and said, "Why don't you go change your clothes and take the children from your room with you later."
Wu Chengye frowned: "What are you bringing them for?"
Old Mrs. Wu didn't want to talk to him anymore. She had finally met such a capable person, so how could she not ask him to help her children?
Most importantly, she also wanted to ask for amulets for the children of the Wu family.
The Wu family members are all military officers. Every time they go on duty, his heart is in his throat. He only feels relieved when he sees them return safely.
If this Princess Luo is really capable, she would be happy to go to any Taoist temple in the future and give her all the money!
With this in mind, he asked someone to prepare another generous gift and went to Prince Luo's Mansion with his entire family.
Those who knew knew that they came to express gratitude, while those who didn't probably thought they were going to Prince Luo's Mansion to cause trouble, and they looked ferocious.
