At the same time, in the Meiyi Pavilion, Xu Liyun and Zhang Wuya were patiently waiting for Ding Yunfeng's arrival.
Soon, Ding Yunfeng brought two waiters and delivered fresh vegetables and piles of eggs from his own vegetable shed to the backyard warehouse of Jixiang Restaurant.
After completing the delivery, he happened to meet Xu Liyun and her daughter who were waiting there, and he quickly bowed to them.
"Butler Ding, we are waiting for you here. Let's go back to Wuli Village together!"
Xu Liyun quickly got on the carriage that had been prepared long ago and set off before dawn, just to catch the transportation back to the village so that Zhang Mingyi's father wouldn't have to go through the trouble of coming to greet her.
The village seems more vibrant under the nourishment of the spring rain, and the sounds of cockerels crowing and dogs barking one after another form a symphony of pastoral life.
On the other side, in the grove at the entrance of the village, little girl You Niang finished her morning martial arts practice and sat leisurely on the swing, rocking gently.
"Brother Lingwen, have you really decided to open a martial arts school in Niu Shangpo?"
Her eyes were full of curiosity.
Ling Wen put away the sword he had used to practice martial arts, sat on the swing next to Xiao Youniang, and replied, "Yes, Hu Ling went to investigate yesterday. The land is located at the junction of Yanzhou and Pingzhou. Hu Ling went to Caihong County to buy 20 acres of wasteland, which happens to be across the road from your wasteland."
"Oh, I see. The other side of Niu Shangpo is actually Rainbow County. But the area around Hong Temple is full of pilgrims who come to pray for blessings and wealth. I'm afraid few people are willing to travel there to learn martial arts. Isn't this a loss?"
The young lady looked a little worried.
Ling Wen smiled without saying anything, he had his own plans in mind.
The reason for choosing to buy land opposite the Zhang family was not only to monitor the movements in the restaurant and ensure that his disciples could provide quick support in case of any emergency, but also because there was a special connection and protection hidden there.
"Actually, my parents left me quite a bit of inheritance."
Ling Wen revealed softly, with a hint of nostalgia and determination in his eyes.
Xiao Youniang stared at him, her eyes filled with sympathy for his loss of his parents, as well as a hint of envy for the fact that he did not have to struggle for a living.
After all, in such a turbulent era, being able to live without worries about money is the dream of many people.
Although you never lack gold and silver in your pocket, I still insist that making money is a necessity of life. Could it be that our martial arts school intends to transform into a charity that donates generously? "
Ling Wen smiled faintly, but did not respond directly.
His understanding of the word "charity" is still vague, but he can vaguely sense the warm color of kindness and dedication it carries.
After all, what he did in Fanying Sect was just another form of good deed, protecting his fellow disciples who had lost their parents?
Little Youniang blinked her smart eyes, as if countless points of light were jumping in her ocean of thoughts, instantly lighting up a brilliant inspiration: "I've got an idea, Brother Lingwen, you can build a spacious arena in front of the martial arts hall to hold martial arts competitions. Under the arena, there will be a circular viewing area, so that the disciples of the martial arts hall can often go on stage to compete. In this way, passers-by will definitely be attracted to stop and curious, and they will come to ask how to join. In this way, won't there be an endless stream of students?"
Ling Wen looked at her, his eyes flashing with doting: "As long as you like it, I'm willing to try."
His words were filled with tenderness and doting, just like the warmest breeze in spring.
A barely perceptible blush appeared on Xiao Youniang's face, and she bashfully retorted, "What do you mean I just do it because I like it? The martial arts school is your career, and I was just giving a suggestion."
Yun Mo and Hu Ling stood quietly aside, and when their eyes met, they both seemed to catch the subtle changes in their master's mood.
Hu Ling secretly wondered in his heart: Could it be that the master really has feelings for the second young lady of the Zhang family?
Thinking back to the previous episode at Shengxuanmen, he and Wang Rong became more confused.
At that time, I just thought that Miss Xu was too young and did not think deeply about it. But when I counted carefully, she was already fourteen years old, and our sect leader was almost eighteen. Is it really impossible between them?
Yun Mo's thoughts were more complicated: On weekdays in the sect, the sect leader was always stern and looked serious.
But the two-day trip to Zhang's house allowed me to see a different side of him.
With the unique "creaking" sound of the old wooden door, the gate of the Zhang family compound was slowly pushed open, and the figures of Zhang Wuya and Xu Liyun came into view.
Xia Yue held a cup of hot tea and walked around, refilling the cups for the hosts one by one.
"Mother, sister, is there any response from Mrs. Hu?"
Xiao Youniang's character was as straightforward as ever, and the previous embarrassment had long been thrown out of her mind.
"Mrs. Hu agreed to open a rouge shop with us. Last night, I wanted to ask Zicheng to draw a layout of the commercial street, but he said he wanted to learn. It seems that we have to wait until tomorrow when he is resting."
Xu Liyun sat down at the round wooden table in the courtyard, raised the glass gently and drank it all in one gulp.
"I can design it, too, Mom. Ask me for help next time!"
While they were talking, the doorman came hurriedly and said that Miss Jing was visiting.
When Xiao Youniang heard this, she immediately jumped off the swing and walked quickly towards the gate of the villa.
"Lingwei, you came to play with us!"
Ling Wei was wearing a light blue brocade robe, with her hair tied up in a high bun, looking like a typical ancient noble lady, and followed by a dignified little maid.
"I came here today to express my gratitude!"
Ling Wei waved her hand, and the driver came forward with the gift box.
Xu Liyun smiled and greeted in a familiar manner: "Hey, come on, why are you so polite? Why bring any gifts? Come in and sit down!"
"You saved me, so I deserve this. When my parents learned about this, they prepared generous gifts and told me to express my gratitude in person."
Every morning, Grandpa Zhang would leisurely patrol around the villa, check the poultry, inspect the growth of vegetable greenhouses and rice fields, and finally go to the orchard and fish pond for an inspection.
Only after making sure that the servants were doing their jobs and everything was in order would he return home with peace of mind and immerse himself in his thick encyclopedia of Chinese herbal medicine.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard today, Grandpa Zhang noticed that there were guests at home, and he hurried over to greet them enthusiastically: "Oh, Lingwei girl has come! Qiuju, go and get those exquisite snacks to entertain the guests."
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhang! Hello, Grandpa Zhang!"
After Ling Wei greeted them politely, she continued, "It was really fate. When I went home and told my parents about the construction of the restaurant on the land of Niu Shangpo, I learned that your family had eliminated the evil forces in Niu Shangpo and helped my father to achieve great success. In this way, you have helped our Jing family twice. My father was very excited when he heard the news and immediately prepared these gifts and asked me to come here quickly to express my gratitude!"
