After bathing.
Under Xiaolu’s service, he changed into a clean set of black brocade clothes, wore a black hairstyle, and held a fan of birds paying homage to the phoenix. He left the room. The shopkeeper had been waiting outside for a long time, and he quickly came up to him with a fawning expression. “Young Master, you’re up!’
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua nodded.
“Has Ding Yi woken up?”
“Young Master Ding is still cultivating. I’ve already ordered someone to send breakfast over.”
“How’s business these days?”
“Business is very good. The occupation rate is above 80%. The account book has been prepared.”
“Bring me there.”
He entered the accounts room.
Zhang Ronghua sat on a chair. The manager brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup. He placed it in front of him and carried the account book over to the table.
He took a sip of tea and started reading the account book.
The flow of money was very beautiful. His daily income fluctuated around three thousand taels of silver. Sometimes, it was higher, reaching four thousand taels of silver. The expenses for labor, ingredients, and materials were very detailed.
If there was a loophole, he would be able to see through it at a glance.
He finished reading it in one go.
He placed the account book on the table and asked,””When is my father coming?
“Old Master will come over once every afternoon to check the accounts of the previous day. Then, he will take away the silver and deposit it in the Great Xia Bank. He will leave some money to maintain the daily expenses of the inn.”
“Get someone to send breakfast over.”
The shopkeeper left. After a while, Xiaolu came in with two maids. She placed the dishes on the table and left.
They were eating breakfast.
“Brother! ”
Ding Yi’s voice rang out as he ran in from outside. His expression was excited, and he was eager to share the joy in his heart. “My meridians have become stronger.”
Zhang Ronghua glared at him and pointed outside.””Watch your words!” Calm down.
Only then did Ding Yi realize that he had acted rashly. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded heavily. He closed the door and sat opposite him. He poured a cup of tea from the teapot and took a sip. He poured some peanuts and ate them in his hand. He asked in a low voice,’With my condition, how long will it take for me to return to my normal state?”
“If you have a lot of money, you can use it to help with the cultivation of the spirit herbs. Then, I’ll help you nurse your body for about half a month!”
“So fast?”
“Don’t worry! Let me finish.”
Zhang Ronghua took a bite of the bun and continued.
“It’s best if the spirit herbs are at least five hundred years old.”
Ding Yi waved his hand nonchalantly. His tensed heart finally relaxed.”l thought it was a big deal, but it turns out that it’s just spirit herbs that are more than 500 years old. I don’t dare to say anything else, but I have enough spirit herbs! Every year, Grandpa would get someone to bring a large number of spirit herbs to me, but my body was too weak. Not only would I be unable to digest them, but I would also overnourish my body and become unconscious and vomit blood. After that, I didn’t eat them and kept them there. Over the years, he had accumulated a lot.”
He looked at the palace.
“If there aren’t enough spirit herbs at home, I’ll go to His Majesty again. He should reward me with some.” His eyes lit up. “Brother, do you want spirit herbs?”
“A lot?”
Ding Yi stood up and looked at the room in front of him. He gestured with a smug expression.”Two such big houses are piled up everywhere.”
Zhang Ronghua paused and looked at him suspiciously. He didn’t believe him. Ding Yi was anxious. He stomped his foot and explained anxiously,””l’m not lying to you! Why don’t you come back with me after dinner and see for yourself?” “Alright!”
After dinner.
He instructed the shopkeeper to tell his father to wait for him at home when he returned in the afternoon.
After leaving the Verdant Cloud Inn, he walked towards the Ding Residence.
Ding Yi’s house was in Azure Dragon Lane, number 219. Behind it was a huge park with precious and expensive trees planted. There were also some entertainment facilities. The scenery was beautiful and the location was very good.
At this point.
rlWvo guards stood at the door. When they saw them, they bowed respectfully.”Greetings, Young Master!”
Ding Yi pointed at Zhang Ronghua and introduced him.” This is my brother. He doesn’t need to be notified when he comes in the future.”
The guard was also a smart person. He responded and called out,”Brother”.
Ding Yi nodded in satisfaction and brought Zhang Ronghua into the manor.
In the backyard.
He happened to see the butler instructing the people to sweep the floor and clean up the fallen leaves. The wind from last night was very strong, and the nearby fallen leaves were blown in.
“Uncle Ding!”
The housekeeper is the grandfather, the one who saved me, the one who repaid me, the one who saved my life, the one who changed my surname, the one who changed my surname, the one who changed my surname, the one who changed my surname, the one who changed my surname, the one who changed my surname, the one who changed my surname, the one who changed my surname, the one who changed my surname, the one who changed my surname, the one who changed my surname, the one who changed my surname.
“Young Master is back!”
He turned around and saw Zhang Ronghua. He smiled and greeted, ‘”We have guests! The old servant then ordered the servants to prepare lunch.”
Ding Yi signaled him to come over with his eyes.
After entering the hall, the servants were chased out.
Ding Yi stretched out his hand. Uncle Ding frowned and revealed a puzzled expression. He smiled mysteriously and said, “Check my pulse!”
She felt his pulse with two fingers. His meridians were still the same as before. They were weak and narrow. She looked at him in confusion. Seeing that he was still smiling, she calmed down and felt carefully. This time, she realized that it was different. Compared to before, his meridians seemed to be bigger, thicker, and more resilient. Her old eyes lit up, and a thick joy appeared on her face. She hurriedly asked, “Really?”
Ding Yi nodded and pointed at Zhang Ronghua. He didn’t say anything, but Uncle Ding understood that all of this was his credit.
He retracted his palm.
Uncle Ding stepped forward solemnly and stopped in front of Zhang Ronghua.. With a firm expression, he lifted his shirt and plopped! He knelt on the ground and said, “I thank Qinglin for saving my life!””
