When the old man heard Lu Zhaoling's question, he said with great joy and pride, "He is not from the village. The child is from the capital. He is much more handsome than the young people in our village and looks very noble."

He looked at Yin Yunting somewhat embarrassedly.

"Although I'm still a little young."

Originally he wanted to say that he was similar to Yin Yunting, but that child was indeed still young, and could not compare to the young man in front of him, who was mature and steady.

But their family is not the kind of family that would change their minds quickly. They have already engaged that child, so they definitely cannot look at this young man anymore.

Lu Zhaoling and Yin Yunting looked at each other.

They were almost certain that the child the old man was talking about, the child engaged to Xiaoru, was Lu Anfan.

Lu Anfan has been here.

"Congratulations, father-in-law." Yin Yunting said calmly, "I didn't expect that your family has connections in Beijing."

Otherwise, how could such a family be promised a marriage in the capital?

The old man was a little embarrassed again, "No, no, how can we have any relationship in Beijing? That's Xiaoru's own marriage, Yue Lao..."

"grandfather."

Xiaoru appeared and interrupted the old man. She was a little anxious and nervous.

After coming in, he looked at Lu Zhaoling and Yin Yunting vigilantly.

"Why are you asking so many questions?"

She was holding a small plate in her hand with two small pieces of rice cake on it. They were really small, just enough for one bite each.

It should have been cut out.

"Here are the rice cakes. Please have a taste."

She brought the plate to them.

Yin Yunting took a look and said, "Just taste it."

He never really liked eating other people's food outside, and he never ate the food that was chopped up for tasting in the shop.

Lu Zhaoling picked up a piece of rice cake and took a look at it.

"Don't worry about it getting dirty. I'm very careful when I cook. The kitchen is also locked, so I won't let my brothers and sisters in."

Seeing that she seemed a little worried, Xiaoru explained.

"It won't be poisonous either."

Lu Zhaoling smiled and put the small piece of rice cake into her mouth.

It's ok, it has a clean taste and is slightly sweet.

If Lu Zhaoling hadn't been eating the food made by Second Junior Sister and Aunt Liu all the time, she might have praised it a little more, but because her taste buds have been spoiled, she can only give a brief review of ordinary food.

Xiaoru was expecting that she would be pleasantly surprised after tasting it and would praise it a few times.

This makes it seem more equal for her to exchange rice cakes for talismans.

As a result, Lu Zhaoling just nodded slightly after eating.

"It's okay." She said these three words.

Xiaoru's expression changed slightly.

She looked at the man on the bed again. He was still motionless with the talisman on his face, but his skin color had not changed. She reached out and touched him, but his body did not become cold or stiff.

This talisman is really useful.

Lu Zhaoling noticed her little move and said, "It's not appropriate for you to exchange these rice cakes for my talismans."

Xiaoru and the old man looked at her in shock.

"Not suitable?"

"Yes, because my talismans are expensive. If I exchange them for rice cakes, I'm afraid you don't have that much, and we can't take that much with us."

How could she possibly exchange this talisman, which can be used three times, for a little food?

"It's just a piece of paper, how expensive can it be?" Xiaoru said anxiously, "We have invited a Taoist priest before, and a talisman only costs a hundred coins!"

One hundred coins?

"Then does the talisman of the Taoist priest you invited work?" Lu Zhaoling asked back.

If it really worked, this wouldn't be the case now.

"Then even if your talisman is better, two hundred coins should be enough, right?"

The old man quickly said, "Miss, Sir, let us pay. How about two hundred coins? We can buy one more."

Yin Yunting felt that they really missed the point.

The talisman is useful, why did he only want to buy it instead of asking the senior sister to check it on this man? What if it can cure him?

After buying two talismans, how long can they last?

"My talisman is indeed not that cheap." Lu Zhaoling still refused to give in.

Xiaoru was angry and anxious. She asked, "How much is your talisman?"

"Five hundred taels per piece." Lu Zhaoling said.

The grandparents and grandchildren almost fainted.

"Why don't you go and grab it!" Xiaoru couldn't help but shout out.

Yin Yunting's face turned slightly cold.

"You don't have to buy, and we don't have to sell," he said.

Xiaoru gritted her teeth.

These rich people are so annoying. They have no sympathy for the poor people like them. They should be led into that maze and taught a lesson!

"Maybe I can still cure him." Lu Zhaoling observed her for a moment and said this.

The old man grabbed Xiaoru's hand immediately, and his veins were throbbing.

"Xiao Ru..."

"Can you really cure it?" Xiaoru was also shocked.

"It should be possible. We have to take a look at it." Lu Zhaoling said.

"Five hundred taels, can you cure it? No talisman is needed." Xiaoru asked again quickly.

"Eight hundred taels." Lu Zhaoling said.

How can a cure be priced the same as a talisman?

Xiaoru took a breath of cold air, and the old man looked a little dejected.

They really don't have this money.

"Forget it, Xiaoru. Once your father gets sick, we can just tie him up and wait him out." He sighed, sat down on the bed, and looked at his son with tears in his eyes.

But they really don't have the money.

Xiaoru gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and suddenly took out a jade pendant.

"How much is this jade pendant worth?"

Lu Zhaoling's eyes fell on the jade pendant. Here it is, this is Lu Anfan's. Although the Lu family didn't treat him very well, they did have a jade pendant. It was said that Lu Anfan was not willing to use it normally.

This jade pendant is worth about thirty taels, and is already the most expensive thing Lu Anfan has.

Now it is in Xiaoru's hands.

"Thirty taels." Lu Zhaoling said.

"Only thirty taels?" Xiaoru blurted out, "I thought it was much more expensive."

With a family background like theirs, thirty taels is not worth it? That's a bit strange.

"Thirty taels is already a high price. This jade pendant looks like it has been used for many years and it's not new." Lu Zhaoling said.

"This is my engagement gift." Xiaoru bit her lip. She didn't want to talk about this, but now she had no choice. "You are from the capital, right? You will have to go back later, right? Take this jade pendant to the Lu family in the capital to get the silver."

Can I go to the Lu family and get money with the jade pendant?

When Lu Zhaoling heard this, she didn't believe it.

Lu Anfan knew what the Lu family had become. He left Beijing because he was completely disappointed with the Lu family. How could he casually arrange a marriage halfway and then let someone say that he could take the jade pendant to the Lu family if he had any problems?

"The Lu family? I've heard of it."

Lu Zhaoling reached out and took the jade pendant.

"But!" Xiaoru said anxiously, "I will definitely go to the capital to get married in the future. When that time comes, I will ask you to redeem the jade pendant with silver. You can't lose it!"
