Fortune tellers give eggs, the stepmother is a Taoist boss

Chapter 106
Hearing that Jiang Fuyuan wanted to gamble, Wen Jinhe thought he had heard wrongly and repeated in a strange tone: "Money?"

Jiang Fuyuan nodded: "Yes, money, silver, or you can use gold."

Jinshan is better.

The two Taoist servants were silent. If the bet was money, then winning or losing had nothing to do with the face of the Taoist palace, only Wen Jinhe's pocket.

When they both looked at Wen Jinhe at the same time, their eyes were full of pity.

Wen Jinhe didn't notice the look in their eyes. He was still shocked by Jiang Fuyuan's behavior of betting money.

Although everyone in the Taoist palace loves money, they try every means to flatter the emperor, and do everything possible to take money from the treasury to build Taoist temples and Buddhist altars. However, no matter how much Taoist priests love money, they will say that money is just an external thing to fill their appearance. As members of the Taoist sect, cultivation of Taoism and longevity are their ultimate goals.

Jiang Fuyuan could bet on magical weapons, bet on natural resources, and even bet on dignity and life, but she actually said she wanted to bet money?

Wen Jinhe was in disbelief, and the corner of his mouth twitched and said to Jiang Fuyuan: "You, you are superficial!"

Jiang Fuyuan's expression remained unchanged and she glanced at him lazily: "If you don't dare to bet, I won't laugh at you."

"I don't dare to bet!" Wen Jinhe looked back sideways, raised his chin and mocked, "I didn't expect you to be so vulgar."

"Ahem." An old voice cut in. It was Wen Jinhe's master, Master Gu Qingzhen of the Taoist Palace, "Jinhe, don't be rude in front of Taoist Lord Yuanfei."

He took a step forward and said with a kind smile: "Xiangu Mu, my disciple is still young and I offended you because of my ignorance. Please forgive me, Xiangu."

The two of them had been arguing for so long before he spoke up, and his partiality was clearly revealed.

Jiang Fuyuan glanced at Mr. Gu Qing and said, "Then your apprentice is very anxious about his appearance. He has obviously aged at a young age."

She ignored Master Gu Qing and asked Wen Jinhe directly: "How much is the bet?"

Wen Jinhe glanced at his master and saw Master Gu Qing looking back at him, still with a kind and kind smile on his face, as if he was not affected by Jiang Fuyuan's words.

He straightened his back and asked Jiang Fuyuan proudly: "How much do you want to bet?"

Jiang Fuyuan's eyes lit up: "Does it mean how much I say?"

As for financial resources, Wen Jinhe is very confident. The monthly payment from the Taoist Palace is based on levels. As a closed disciple of the palace master, he can get 1 taels of silver every month.

Even in Jiudian, ten thousand taels of silver is an ordinary person's annual income, so he replied arrogantly: "It all depends on the fairy."

This month's regular money just arrived the day before yesterday, and he hasn't had time to go out to spend it yet. Now is the time to feel confident to gamble.

Jiang Fuyuan raised the corners of her lips and looked carefully at Wen Jinhe's face.

The roots of the mountain are broken, the six relatives are no longer connected, the two warehouses of food and salary are drooping, and the breath is dependent on others.

Not a smooth appearance.

Jiang Fuyuan looked at his Wealth and Silk Palace again, feeling discouraged and exhausted, spending money like water, and his ability to accumulate wealth was extremely low.

To put it bluntly, he is a person who spends as much as he has and doesn't have much savings at all.

Wen Jinhe felt terrified when she saw him, especially when Jiang Fuyuan looked at her for a long time and sighed deeply.

He couldn't help but whispered: "What are you looking at!"

Jiang Fuyuan reluctantly spit out a number: "Ten thousand."

Wen Jinhe: "What ten thousand?"

Jiang Fuyuan: "The gambling money is 1 taels of silver."

Wen Jinhe was startled. He happened to only have 1 taels.

Not only Wen Jinhe was stunned when Jiang Fuyuan reported the number, but also other officials at the banquet.

Several people started talking in low voices.

"Ten thousand taels is not a small amount."

"Yes, it would take people working day and night for more than a year to earn this amount, right? It would be too much to use as a bet..."

Chi Dongchuan frowned. The Taoist priest from the Taoist palace actually made a bet with 1 taels as the prize. Now the northwest states have just experienced natural disasters, and the people are starving, waiting for the court's disaster relief funds.If this matter spreads, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the royal family...

Thinking of this, he was about to step forward to dissuade him, but Zhu Wenyan secretly held his arm.

"Young Master..." He turned around, wondering why Zhu Wenyan stopped him.

Zhu Wenyan only shook his head slightly and whispered: "Second Prince, no."

At this moment, several laughs came from the dragon chair, and Daojun Yuan Fei waved his sleeves: "Isn't the Golden Crane Immortal Chang short of money? It doesn't matter, if you lose, I will give you the 1 taels of silver!"

At this time, Zhu Wenyan's brows also suddenly wrinkled into the character "Chuan".

The winnings of the bet between the Taoist Palace and others were actually taken from the national treasury. Has His Majesty forgotten that a few days ago, the household and military departments in front of the palace all cried out that the national treasury was empty and that the soldiers on the front line were almost out of food and grass money? !

"Wait a minute." Jiang Fuyuan said displeased, "Why should your Majesty pay for him if he loses? Is your Majesty also prepared to shoulder his burden for him in the future?"

As she spoke, she pointedly looked at Wen Jinhe: "Everyone's destiny is different, so it's better not to bear it for others casually."

Her cool words instantly reminded the emperor of the disaster that Emperor Gaozu had mentioned in his dream.

Could it be that he paid [-] yuan for Wen Jinhe and would bear part of the burden for Wen Jinhe, or was his disaster supposed to be Wen Jinhe's?
Thinking of this possibility, his eyes turned much colder when he looked at Wen Jinhe. He said lightly: "What the fairy said makes sense, then Immortal Jinhe can pay for the 1 taels himself."

Wen Jinhe:? ? ?

Did he agree?How come the bet of 1 taels was settled?

And they were talking as if he had already lost and the next step was to pay.

Is there no one to take care of it? !

He turned to his master, Taoist Gu Qing, for help.

Jiang Fuyuan also followed his gaze, only to find that Taoist Gu Qing had been looking at him.

So she simply looked at Taoist Gu Qing's face.

What a rich man!

Jiang Fuyuan narrowed her beautiful eyes and showed a reassuring smile.

Seeing her suddenly smiling at him, Taoist Gu Qing touched his face and asked in confusion: "Why is the fairy girl laughing? Is there something on Taoist face?"

Jiang Fuyuan nodded: "You look very rich."

Taoist Gu Qing paused while touching his face, lowered his eyelids and explained slowly: "The Taoist Palace is blessed by Taoist Lord Yuanfei, and is not subject to mundane hardships such as food and clothing."

He paused and then raised his eyelids to look at Jiang Fuyuan again: "If Fairy Girl is willing, she can register in the Dao Palace and receive God's grace together with everyone in the Dao Palace..."

"No need." Jiang Fuyuan interrupted him. She was not interested in talking nonsense with him anymore and said straightforwardly, "Since you are his master, and once you are a master, you will always be a father. Is it normal for me to pay the bet for my son?"

Before Master Gu Qing could answer, she continued to increase the amount of gambling money: "My son can pay 5 yuan, so I should double it, maybe [-] taels."

Everyone:...Is this how doubling is calculated?
What was even more surprising was that Taoist Gu Qing actually nodded in agreement.

He just laughed and said: "Okay, since the fairy aunt and the apprentice are competing to draw a talisman, for the sake of fairness, they have to choose a talisman seal that neither of them has ever drawn before."

"The old Taoist got a new Taoist secret book yesterday. There is a talisman on it called Shangqing. How about using the Shangqing talisman as a test topic?"

As soon as he said these words, everyone present except Dao Gong secretly despised him.

It was said that it was the talisman seal in his newly acquired secret book. Who knows if he had secretly taught his disciples the secrets of drawing talisman. Even if Wen Jinhe drew the correct Shangqing talisman and defeated Jiang Fuyuan, the victory would be a weak one.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Jiang Fuluan, who was still sitting on the chair.

Jiang Fuyuan didn't seem to notice everyone's worried glances. She raised her head and glanced at the proud Wen Jinhe, then quickly looked away and fixed her gaze on Master Gu Qing.

She opened her red lips lightly: "You swear, if you lose, you will not refuse to pay, otherwise the sky will strike like lightning."
