But now the little girl has just entered the mansion. Even if you find something wrong with her, it is not a good idea to take action directly, so as not to get a reputation of being ungrateful.
Seeing that his elder brother was not really confused, Xiao Cunyu felt relieved, but he still felt a little painful when looking at the medicine bottle.
"This medicine is indeed good. Could it be... given by Elder Zixiao?" Xiao Jingyun also noticed her expression.
Xiao Cunyu nodded. "The ingredients used in this medicine are precious. I spent a lot of effort to extort it from him. Now I only have one bottle left, which is enough for saving my life. The rest are all given to you."
You useless bro, you can’t even keep your medicine.
After hearing what she said, Xiao Jingyun felt a little guilty: "It's all my fault, big brother."
"I'm glad you know it. How about you compensate me with some silver?" Xiao Cunyu immediately stretched out his hand.
The corner of Xiao Jingyun's mouth twitched, and the next moment he threw the empty bottle at her: "You dare to take money from your family? Get lost."
Xiao Cunyu curled his lips.
stingy person.
"Wait, don't say that I don't love you. Don't you like Taoism? Nantai Temple has been doing a good deed recently and invited families from the capital to come and participate in Taoism. The funds raised will be donated to the resettlement of orphans. You can take a look at my invitation. No matter how much silver you donate, I will pay it." Xiao Jingyun said, handing the invitation to Nantai Temple to Xiao Cunyu.
Of course, it was impossible for the abbot of Qingfeng Temple to invite everyone in the capital. He only invited some kind-hearted people who often visited the temple to participate.
Most of the wealthy families in Beijing pay tribute to the gods and Buddhas, which can help them accumulate a good reputation.
"Brother is so generous?" Xiao Cunyu became excited.
Doing good deeds can bring blessings, and Nantai Temple is reliable enough, so... if it is to donate big brother's money, she will definitely not be stingy!
"Less than two thousand taels." Xiao Jingyun quickly added, "Seventh brother, our family doesn't have mountains of gold and silver, but this is more than enough."
It’s not that he is reluctant, but he really has no money.
His own salary was not much, and his family gave him several dozen taels of silver as subsidy every month. It was not easy for him to save this much.
He rarely has large expenses. Even when socializing, he tries his best to invite people home and save as much as possible.
It’s not that the eldest wife is short of money, but her extravagant spending can make her mind corrupt and give rise to greed and desires that she shouldn’t have.
"Okay." With so much money, it would be a waste.
It's a disguised form of subsidy for medicine.
After receiving the order from his elder brother, Xiao Cunyu immediately went to the Xiao family's accounting office to collect the money, for fear that his elder brother would go back on his word.
The next morning, Xiao Cunyu rode his fat horse to Nantai Temple.
The Nantai Temple was indeed very lively today. On the road, Xiao Cunyu saw many carriages and horses, and he also saw several officials' wives and daughters who secretly lifted the curtains to look at the scenery outside.
There were quite a few ladies and young ladies, and gentlemen of all ages.
Nantai Temple is big enough and can easily handle so many guests.
There are many living people, but there are also some dead.
What surprised Xiao Cunyu was that she actually met the ghost Cui Qiao. She had been staying on the roof of a carriage with an expressionless face until she saw Xiao Cunyu, and then she suddenly floated to her side.
"Sir, the old lady in this carriage is very strange." Cui Qiao hesitated, not knowing what to say. "I think she meets your requirements, but this person is clearly still alive."
As a ghost messenger, she can sense the general situation of other ghosts.
But the living person in the carriage made her hesitate for several days.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Cunyu asked.
Cui Qiao kept drifting, saying carefully, "The person sitting in this carriage is the old lady of a wealthy merchant family in the capital. I've observed her for a long time and found that besides her unstable soul and body, there seems to be something...off. Like a madman, her moods are changeable..."
