Le Shan stared at all the silver, astonished. She hadn't expected her master, who was so poor he nearly had to rely on his disciples for support, to have so much money.
It seemed Wang Yue had taken the two of them on as disciples for reasons other than money.
She felt she ought to treat her master better. It was time to talk her older sister into it, too.
Zhao Jian, however, had other thoughts. She suspected Wang Yue had received support from his family, which was why he had so much money.
That meant Wang Yue's trip to the capital to sit for the examinations had probably earned his family's approval as well.
Thinking this, Zhao Jian finally put her mind at ease, though she said nothing.
After all, every family had its secrets. She would do well to keep learning from her master. Perhaps one day she'd have the chance to distinguish herself and build a career. As for anything else, she wouldn't concern herself with it.
Once Le Shan had confirmed how much silver there was, she was naturally willing to work with Wang Yue. He had plenty of money, too, and if her family contributed people, effort, and a little money, it would be a mutually beneficial partnership.
So she hurriedly said, "Master, I'll go back and talk it over with my mother and sisters. I'll let you know when I return."
As soon as she finished, she headed for the door, clearly eager to discuss it right away. She was afraid the chance to make a fortune would be gone if she waited too long.
But after taking a few steps, Le Shan realized it seemed improper to leave just like that. She stopped and looked at Wang Yue. "Master, is that all right?"
