When Yu Qingshan said he would follow them, he really followed them.

As they were going down the mountain, Lu Yuan couldn't help but look back at the old Taoist priest behind them, with a look of curiosity and confusion, "He's following us, do we need to keep him?"

Just like Mr. Shen and the others, they were bought by their family and have to be raised by their family, but they will help them with work. But Taoist Qingshan is very capable, will he be willing to work for them?

With just one glance, Xiao Li knew what he was struggling with. He glanced at the person following him not far away with a half-smile, "You'll have to ask him about this."

"Isn't this bad?" Lu Yuan wrinkled his nose. "Master Qingshan still refuses to accept our money, and now we're asking him questions..."

He couldn't explain the feeling, but he just didn't feel good.

Xiao Li didn't have so many concerns. After all, it was the other party who needed help from him, not him asking the other party for help.

And although they spoke very quietly, given the other party's cunningness, there was an 80% chance that they heard what they said.

They both know it anyway. One keeps a fig leaf, and the other asks directly with a thick skin. There is not much difference.

piece of cake.

He stopped and looked at Yu Qingshan, then asked bluntly, "You're planning to go to the capital with us, right? How will the travel expenses be calculated?"

Hearing this, Yu Qingshan paused and stared at him for a while with a strange look on his face. "You want to ask the old Taoist for money? Are you out of money? Don't worry, I don't have much else, but I have saved up quite a bit of money over the years."

As he spoke, he pulled out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, frowned, and finally gave him half. "These...are they enough?"

Looking at the stack of ten thousand taels of silver handed to him, Xiao Li's mouth twitched, "Is it so easy to make money as a Taoist priest?"

"Of course not." Yu Qingshan put away the remaining half of the banknote, then stroked his beard and said proudly, "I am famous for my accurate fortune-telling skills. After those people got what they wanted, they insisted on giving me money and gifts.

Did you see how magnificent Qingshan Temple was just now? It was built by wealthy families who raised money on their own.

The original Qingshan Temple actually only had the area where the old Taoist practiced meditation, and the rest of the area was expanded later.

I may not be particular, but the ancestor still needs to be well-dressed and well-housed, so I did not stop them. "

Now Xiao Li finally understood why Qingshan Temple was so vulgar. It turned out that this was the aesthetic taste of the rich people of this era.

Knowing that he was not short of money, Xiao Li did not bother to be polite with him. He directly took the stack of banknotes and put them into the space. "We will take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way."

Yu Qingshan was also very satisfied with this, "That's perfect."

As long as you are willing to let him follow you, I wouldn't feel bad even if I gave him all the silver notes, let alone half of them.

Lu Yuan was stunned when he saw the stack of banknotes and couldn't recover for a long time.

Is being a Taoist priest really that rich? Since Taoist priests can marry and have children, can Xiao Si...

When he looked at Xiao Li with shining eyes, he was immediately dispelled by Xiao Li's words.

"Although being a Taoist priest is good, you have to live in a Taoist temple. Otherwise, you can still be a Taoist priest."

Lu Yuan:!!!

It's already difficult for my brother to get pregnant. If Xiao Si goes to live in a Taoist temple, how can I give birth to a baby?

no! Absolutely not!

Even for the sake of the child, he couldn't let Taoist Qingshan abduct Xiao Si to become a Taoist priest.

"Young Master, is there something wrong?" Yu Qingshan didn't understand why he was so wary of him. Wasn't he fine just now?

"No! Nothing!" Lu Yuan naturally wouldn't tell him the truth. After saying that, she pulled Xiao Li and quickened her pace, "Let's walk faster!"

Better get rid of him!

Xiao Li looked at the young man who kept his distance from Yu Qingshan, and said "hmm" with a slight smile on his lips.

Not far behind them, Yu Qingshan frowned in confusion.

Was it his imagination? Why did he feel like that young master disliked him? That couldn't be right? Wasn't he fine in the temple?

Seeing the two of them walking further and further away, he shook his head slightly, stopped debating, and followed them.

Lu Yuan looked back from time to time as he walked. Seeing the distance between the two sides getting farther and farther, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard footsteps behind him.

He turned around in disbelief and met a kind face.

He: “…” Why is this person walking so fast?

Seeing him looking at him, Yu Qingshan flicked his whisk and smiled at him, "Young Master, is there anything wrong?"

Lu Yuan's face was frozen, and she said expressionlessly, "No."

After saying that, he turned back and sighed with a depressed look on his face.

"It's okay, Yuan'er. For the sake of silver, don't our Yuan'er like silver?" Xiao Li quietly stuffed a silver note of one hundred taels into his hand, "Let's go spend it later, okay?"

"No!" Lu Yuan carefully put the banknote away, and then looked at him seriously, "You can't waste money! We still need..."

He looked around and saw that there was no one else besides Yu Qingshan, so he lowered his voice and said, "We still have to go to the capital! I don't know how much money it will take to buy a house and land, so we can't spend it carelessly!"

As for the banknotes that Xiao Li had just taken, he didn't think they were really theirs at all.

Although the journey from here to the capital is long, not to mention that ten thousand taels cannot be spent, even if ten thousand taels really need to be spent, there are at least a dozen silver notes in that stack. How can it be spent?

One of them gave the banknotes readily, and the other accepted them with confidence. They must have agreed on something behind his back, and the banknotes might have been used for those things!

He has not seen much of the world, but he is not a fool!

Xiao Li raised his eyebrows and teased him deliberately, "You still need to buy a house and land? Can't you just not buy them?"

"That... is not impossible." Lu Yuan frowned in great distress, "But we don't have a house or land. If we run out of money in the future, won't we end up living on the streets?"

Having no house and land means they have no roots in the capital. Without roots, how can they live long?

Raising his hand to smooth his frown, Xiao Li then spoke to him seriously, "How about buying a farm? Then we can farm there. As long as we have food, we'll never go hungry, okay?"

Hearing that he had to farm his own land, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up. "Really? But won't the farm be very expensive?"

Thinking that they only had more than 10,000 taels of silver left, they didn't know if they could buy a farm in the capital.

Xiao Li didn't know the prices in the capital, but wasn't there someone from the capital behind him? He could just ask him.

"Master Qingshan, are the manors in the capital expensive? Are they easy to buy?"
