After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 121 Put away your inexperienced appearance
The two reached an agreement, but the old Taoist priest showed hesitation.

Ah Li stepped forward at the right time and explained: "Every time my master tells someone's fortune, he is leaking a secret of heaven, which will cause backlash, ranging from loss of wealth and health to death in the worst case."

The old Taoist priest gave her a false look and said, "Talk too much. The young master is kind to our master and apprentice. Even if there is backlash, it is the right thing for the master to tell him and his sister's fortune."

Lin Xi: "The old man and the young man are obviously playing a double act and want money."

How could Lin Wushang not see it?

"It's my negligence, Qin Feng."

Qin Feng handed over a hundred-tael silver note, and the old Taoist priest stretched out his hand. Thinking of his superior persona at the moment, he could only push the silver note out: "Young Master, a poor Taoist is a monk, gold and silver It’s nothing more than dung to me, take it back quickly.”

Lin Wushang: "Taoist Master, please accept it, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

The old Taoist priest sighed, "That's it, Ah Li, just accept it."

Lin Xi: "With this old man's ability to pretend, I don't think there is any need to test him. He is the person we are looking for."

Lin Wushang: "It's better to listen and see."

Old Taoist priest: "The little girl's fate is quite peculiar. She was lonely when she was young. Fortunately, she was able to go to school with the support of kind-hearted people. When she was 16 years old, the world suddenly changed -"

Lin Xi suddenly burst into tears, which made Qin Shuang at a loss and hurriedly looked at Lin Wushang for help.

Lin Wushang felt quite helpless when he saw Lin Xi howling despite the thunder. She was obviously pretending to cry to interrupt the old man's words, not wanting him to continue talking.

But this also proves that the old man was right again.

When Lin Xi was 16 years old in her previous life, the world changed.

What is this change?Why is Lin Xi afraid that the old Taoist will say it?
Lin Wushang was thinking in his mind, but he quickly took Lin Xi's hand and patted her, "Sister, stop crying. Stop crying. Are you hungry? Or do you want to go to the toilet?"

Just like a filial brother.

Lin Xi turned her back to the old Taoist, put her head on his shoulder, and pinched his neck, "You convince this old Taoist to go back with us, and I'll go take a look around."

Finally, he warned him: "Don't let this old man tell my fortune again, or I will never be done with you."

Lin Xi reached out to Qin Shuang and returned to her arms. Compared with Lin Wushang, who was still a little kid now, Qin Shuang's arms were still more comfortable.

She patted Qin Shuang's shoulder and pointed with her little hand. Qin Shuang understood and led her over.

When she finished surveying the nearby terrain and returned to Po Tao Temple, she saw that the old man and the child had packed a roll of rags and were ready to leave with them at any time.

Lin Xi looked at Lin Wushang, who nodded towards her.

The group returned to the Lin family's villa in the county town.

Lin Wushang ordered his servants to take his grandfather and grandson to wash and bathe.

When Ah Li came out of the wash, she had a bare head - there was no way, there were so many lice in her hair that the grate could not remove them all, so the maid had no choice but to shave her hair, so that all the lice could be eliminated. .

Her face no longer looked dirty. She had pretty features and she was a neat child, but she was a little sallow and thin.

The rags and shoes on his body were also burned by the maid, and he changed into clean and warm clothes.

She touched and touched it lovingly. It was the first time she had worn such good clothes since she was so big.

It seems that what grandpa said is indeed right. The two of them have met a noble person.

The maid brought her another fluffy hat, and now her bare head felt warm.

The door of the room next to her opened. Ah Li, who was squatting in front of the door, immediately stood up and looked, "Master——"

When she saw the person coming out of the room, she was dumbfounded and her words stopped abruptly.

The old Taoist priest smoothed his sleeves, walked over and flicked her on the forehead, "Xiao Lizi, being a teacher is just a bath, can't you recognize me?"

When he said the word "to be a teacher", he emphasized the tone, which was intended to remind Ah Li that the play was not over yet and she had to continue singing.Ah Li came back to her senses and exclaimed: "Master, it turns out you are not old at all!"

She thought her grandfather was at least sixty or seventy years old, but she didn't expect that after he was cleaned and tidied up, he looked like he was only in his thirties or forties.

His hair was not shaved. He washed it, dried it, and tied it into a neat bun with a wooden hairpin inserted into it.

Wearing a brand new blue monk's robe, his previously stooped figure now straightened up, making him look tall and unworldly.

It is simply the way of a Taoist priest.

Ah Li must be so stupid?

The maid came to invite the two of them to the front hall for dinner. The old man winked at Ah Li and asked her to follow.

A banquet was set up in the front hall, with Lin Wushang and Lin Xi sitting at the top.

The old man took Ah Li into the hall, his wide sleeves swaying as he walked, and he really looked like Wu Dai in the wind.

Seeing the old Taoist priest with such a new appearance, Lin Xi and Lin Wushang looked at each other, and they felt more and more that this old Taoist was a born magician.

After a banquet in which both host and guest enjoyed themselves, Lin Wushang glanced at Qin Feng, and Qin Feng presented a deed to the old man.

The old Taoist asked: "What is this?"

Lin Wushang got straight to the point: "I wonder if Chang Ke would like to stay and serve the Duke of Chang Kingdom?"

The old man said: "The Duke of Changguo's residence? Who is the young master?"

Qin Feng introduced: "This is our prince."

The old Taoist became more and more excited. It seemed that he had hugged a thick thigh!

"No wonder the young master of Old Taoist Temple talks well and is full of nobility. He turns out to be the eldest son of Duke Changguo. It's really disrespectful."

Lin Wushang: "Taoist Priest thanked you. I wonder what Taoist Priest thinks of the suggestion I just made?"

The old Taoist stood up and came to the hall. He bowed his head to Lin Wushang and said, "Thanks to the prince, I will take care of my master and my disciple."

Lin Wushang walked down the steps and helped the old Taoist up, "Taoist Master, you are so polite. Have you asked for your name?"

"The poor Taoist has no name and no surname. His Taoist name is begging for life. I beg God to give me a way to live." The old Taoist looked at the world with a compassionate expression.

"Xiao Lizi, my father and I are rich!"

As soon as he returned to the room and closed the door, the old man showed his true colors, smiling like gold falling from the sky.

Ah Li thought he was talking about the 100 taels of silver notes she had received earlier, so she took the notes out of her sock and asked, "Grandpa, how much is this?"

The old Taoist glanced casually and said calmly: "100 taels."

Ah Li: "100 taels! That's a lot of money! It's enough for us to eat big meat buns for several years, right?"

The old man said: "Stop your unseen appearance, this is what is really valuable."

He flicked the deed he had just signed in the hall with his nails.

"Do you know what this is? It's an employment contract. From now on, we will be members of the Changguo Duke's mansion. Not only can we live and eat for free, but we can also get money every month, ten taels of silver a month!"

Ah Li: "That means we don't have to beg for food anymore?"

The old man said: "That's right! How about it? Grandpa didn't lie to you, did he? He promised to help you live a good life. Look, isn't it fulfilled now?"

Ah Li hurriedly stepped forward to give him a squeeze on his shoulders and a pat on his back. He wanted to be more filial and filial.
