Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 324: A family of four are all money-lovers

“Let Xiaohan put these things away first, we don’t need them now.

Wait until the back is stable, then take it out and put it on display." The Taoist priest said.

"Okay, anyway, our previous ones are all kept by Xiaohan. We can just ask Xiaohan for them when we need them. It won't take much effort and it will be safer.

Besides, the children are still young, and it would be a shame if it got broken or dirty." Grandpa Zhao agreed.

"Well, girl, then you should put them all away."

Xu Han was holding a pile of gold and silver treasures, wishing she could crawl on them. She asked excitedly, "Are you really leaving them all here with me? Aren't you afraid that I might buy them?"

After saying this, he looked at everyone with a sly look on his face.

The Taoist priest said slowly, "These are all gifts from the royal family. No one dares to buy or sell them. If you are caught, you will be beheaded. If you don't believe me, you can see the marks on them."

Xu Han quickly took one out and looked at it. It was indeed there. Isn't this embarrassing? It touched upon something beyond my knowledge.

Not giving up, I changed to another one, and it really was there. I looked at several in a row and they were all the same.

I couldn't help but feel disappointed and said, "This emperor is really something, why is it always like this? The rewards can't be exchanged for silver, what's the point of them except carrying them with me."

"Not only can it not be bought and sold privately, it can't be given to others either," Grandpa Zhao added.

"Ah?" Now it was Xu Han's turn to be stunned.

"It's not impossible. With a relationship like ours, it's definitely okay. But if you give it as a gift, it won't be okay," the Taoist priest added.

Then he continued, "However, not all of them have official seals. Many do not. And the silver awarded can be used freely."

"That's fine, as long as the money can be spent. Otherwise it would be too much of a loss."

"Hahaha, look at how money-hungry you are. You two must not learn from your mother in the future." The Taoist priest said to the two children with a smile.

"It's too late. Mu'er is as money-grubber as his mother. And Ze'er is also very protective of things." Grandpa Zhao said.

The Taoist priest suddenly felt a flock of crows flying over his forehead, and thought to himself that it is true that people from the same family stick together.

The four members of the family are all money-lovers.

Xu Han went back to the house, put the things into the space, turned around and came out again.

Everyone was looking for the items they liked in the two large bags that the Taoist priest brought back.

The valuables were temporarily given to Xu Han for safekeeping, while the others were taken back to their own rooms and placed there.

In the end, even Ze'er and Mu'er had their hands full of things.

Mu'er is fine, now she can choose what she likes independently.

Ze'er would catch anything he saw and would not let go once he caught it. After a while, he would aim at the target and catch other ones.

Everyone found it hilarious, this kid is really too fierce.

"Okay, we've been tired all day, let's all go home today. We can talk tomorrow if we have anything to say." Grandpa Zhao said.

Upon seeing this, everyone quickly began to pack up their things, cleaned the main room, and went to their own rooms.

After the two coaxed the child to sleep, Xu Han lay in Lu Chuan's arms and said, "Do you think that the Taoist priest has lost a lot of weight since he came back this time? He also seems to be a little worried."

"Yes, I feel it. If the Taoist priest doesn't tell us, we won't ask. It's better not to know things that we shouldn't know."

"I understand. The Taoist priest didn't talk too much about his life in the capital at the dinner table today. I also saw that he was deliberately avoiding these things.

Like you said, this is none of our business.

Let's just raise the child well and keep him safe and sound." Xu Han changed her position and hugged Lu Chuan.

"Well, don't worry, I'm here! I will protect you and the child at all times." Lu Chuan also hugged Xu Han tightly.

The two were silent for a while, and no one responded. After a while, the sound of Xu Han's even breathing could be heard.

And Lu Chuan was still thinking about something...

After the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao returned to the backyard, they did not go to bed immediately.

Instead, he followed Grandpa Zhao and went to his room.

The two of them sat at the desk and started chatting.

"What's the situation in the capital now? Was there something important that made you rush back last time?"

"Well, it's all about power and money. Those princes fought tooth and nail for the throne. None of them is easy to deal with." The Taoist sighed and said impatiently.

"How is the emperor doing now? How long can he hold out?"

"The emperor's health is not as good as before, and I guess the future crown prince position will be decided soon.

Once the crown prince is decided, the royal family will be more or less stable. When the time comes, we can unite against the outside world, and the people of Yuanqing will have a stable life. "

"Have you confirmed which prince it is now? Has the emperor leaked any information?" Grandpa Zhao asked cautiously.

"No, the current emperor's mind is the most difficult to guess, and these are not something you and I can decide. Let's just wait and see, there will always be such a day."

"Oh, it's not easy."

The Taoist priest changed the subject and said, "You also know that the girl is quite special. What I am most worried about now is whether other people will discover the existence of the girl.

If I can figure it out, maybe others can too. If someone from our Yuanqing country finds out, I can stop them with my strength, but if other countries get their attention, it will be troublesome.”

"You mean that if other countries figure it out, they will take the opportunity to attack Yuanqing Kingdom?" Grandpa Zhao widened his eyes, unable to believe it.

The Taoist priest didn't say anything for a long time, and Grandpa Zhao understood.

“It’s not necessarily just for the girl, after all, there are many ways to bring the girl to other countries.

The biggest reason is probably natural disasters. Due to long-term droughts and floods, many small countries around us have suffered serious losses. They will definitely find a way to unite and fight for our country's food.

After all, our country still has some strength. Although the north was severely affected this time and some places in the central part were also severely affected, the harvests in the south in recent years have not been particularly bad.

Compared to other countries, our country is simply a fat sheep."

Grandpa Zhao couldn't help but frown when he heard what the Taoist said. "Will there really be a war? These people were just repatriated from the south, and their homes haven't been built yet. Are they going to go through another war?"

“The war will certainly be fought, but it is not certain when it will happen.

At present, other countries have not taken any extreme actions, so let's wait and see."
