Master Jingkong took that thing over and opened it. Inside was a stack of banknotes, which amounted to about three hundred thousand taels at least. In the past few years, he had tried every means to get the banknotes from Shen Qingci. It all has to go through his hands first.

In addition to touching a lot of Buddhist beads with his hands, he also touched a lot in the fight for votes.

A monk who lives outside the home regards gold and silver as dung. He also wants to be a successful monk, but he is also a mortal. In this Xiangjue Temple, there are so many people and so many places to maintain. They You have to live a life, you have to eat, right?

So in the past few years, in addition to his increasingly tender face, he also became thicker and thicker every year, so he could tell how many banknotes it was with just a glance.

And such a stack of banknotes amounted to at least 300,000 taels.

Shen Qingci has always been too generous to Xiangjue Temple. This time, in order to express her gratitude, she will naturally give a big gift. She is a layperson. She has always felt that nothing in this world is more practical than money, even if it is money. Monk, they all cost money.

Master Jingkong collected the banknotes and said, "At the end of this year..."

He still wanted to ask about the end of the year. The main hall in Xiangjue Temple will be repaired every year, also at the end of the year, and the annual expenses are all borne by Yipinxiang. I don’t know this Does the three hundred thousand banknotes also include those?

It’s really not that he is greedy, but although 300,000 is a lot, if the main hall of the temple is maintained, it may not be enough. Not to mention it, those Buddha statues, if they are really overhauled, may cost 300,000 taels of silver. , I’m afraid it’s not enough.

"She said that she will send another batch of money at the end of the year. If it is not enough, my uncle will just ask for it."

"Then I would like to thank the two donors."

Master Jingkong clasped his hands together, and the beads on his wrist seemed to have been replaced with new ones.

"Uncle, are you changing the beads again?"

The last time Lao Hengxi came here, he was wearing something different than this.

"Given to a benefactor."

Master Jingkong will not hide it. Anyway, whether it is old or new, as long as it is worn on his wrist, it must be a good prayer bead.

And he suddenly raised his face and stared at Lao Hengli without blinking.

"Why does uncle look at me like this?"

It can be said that Lao Henglu grew up in front of Master Jingkong. Although he didn't meet him often, he still knew a little about his uncle.

Why does he want to see him like this, but what's the matter?

"nothing."

Master Jingkong gently moved the string of Buddhist beads on his wrist. He sat cross-legged, as if in trance, and his young and tender face seemed to be filled with compassion.

Lao Hengli stood up and hugged Xiao Laobai. He saluted Master Jiangkong and then left the place.

But after he left, Master Jingkong opened his eyes.
