After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Looking at the curtain hanging above, I knew I was back in my own house.

The explosion in my dream was so real that I could still hear ringing in my ears after waking up.

I quickly checked my dantian, and sure enough, the black bead was gone.

In order to save me, Black Bead actually blew himself up!

The power of the black bead was too strong. After its self-explosion, it not only drove away the difficulties in the dream, but also opened up the three meridians that had been difficult to open!

As soon as these three meridians were opened, I suddenly felt a warm current in my dantian, my whole body felt extremely unobstructed, and my ears and eyes were sharp, and I could hear the voices outside the house clearly.

There were children outside making a snowman, but they didn't dare to make any noise. They were all talking in low voices: "Our snowman is almost done. Give me two of your coal briquettes to put two eyeballs in it."

"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't disturb Master A'man's sleep. The teacher said that Master A'man is very ill and cannot be disturbed."

"I understand. Give me two of your briquettes."

Then Yingchun's voice came: "Hey, the second young master has been in a coma for two days. He has not eaten or drunk anything in the past two days. His face has turned pale and gray. I don't know..."

Then Panchun's voice came out: "Shh, don't talk nonsense. If the eldest master and the third lady hear it, they will be sad again. So many people have come to our house at once. The third lady said that they can't be treated badly in terms of food. The rice sent from the palace is almost finished. Send someone to the palace to tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send more rice."

I collected my thoughts and discovered that there was a slight sound of breathing in the room. I twisted my neck and looked up at the roof, and found a figure in a dark corner of the roof. There was actually a secret guard in my room!

This eyesight and hearing are really amazing.

My internal strength is not strong enough now. If my internal strength is improved to a higher level, I believe my hearing and eyesight will be even better.

As I was thinking, Yingchun came in. She saw me staring and spinning around, and she couldn't help but screamed, "The Second Young Master is awake."

Soon, Yiping and Jinping rushed in, and both lay down in front of my bed, shouting in unison: "Aman, are you awake?"

"Brother, are you awake?"

I nodded and said with a smile, "I'm so sorry for making you worry."

Jinping glared at me deliberately and said, "We are brother and sister, what trouble are you talking about?"

Yi Ping also scolded: "That's right, you talk nonsense all day long."

I coughed a few times and said, "Okay, I won't say anything. By the way, brother, we want to go back to Nancheng to pay respect to our grandmother. When do you think is a good time?"

Jinping is the eldest son and grandson of the Zhao family. If he is to establish himself, he must first learn to make decisions.

When Yiping heard what I said, he quickly looked at Jinping.

Jinping looked at the trusting eyes of the two of us. He was a little flustered because he had never made a decision before, but he soon calmed down and said, "Our academy will start classes after the Lantern Festival, so let's go back on the Lantern Festival."

Jinping has indeed improved. He no longer avoids problems as he used to. He is now organized and trustworthy.

I nodded heavily and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Yi Ping also said happily: "Great, there is a lantern festival in Nanning during the Lantern Festival, it is very lively, my favorite thing is to go to the lantern festival, there are food, there are also fun things, and you can guess lantern riddles and win prizes, it's so fun."

Speaking of lantern fans, I said to Jinping, "Brother, you read the most among the three of us, so this year's lantern fan depends on you."

Jinping blushed and said a little embarrassedly: "I haven't read many books. Compared with Lord Gongsun, I am still far behind. Well, Ah Man, there is nothing to do. I'd better do my homework for a while. You can call me when it's time to eat."

After Jinping finished speaking, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Looking at Jinping who was about to become a nerd, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yiping looked at me in confusion and said, "What are you laughing at? You're not in good health, so don't laugh so loudly. Like that day, you vomited blood after just a few laughs. It scared my brother and me so much."

Ever since all the eight extraordinary meridians were opened, I feel better than ever before.

I lifted the quilt and sat up, took a deep breath, and said, "My illness is cured. I feel like I can kill a big tiger with one punch. I just feel very hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

Yingchun, who was standing nearby, said quickly, "Yes, yes, Second Master, I'll bring it to you right away."

After Yingchun finished speaking, she turned around and walked out quickly.

Yiping reached out and touched my forehead, saying, "Do you have a fever? Why are you talking nonsense all the time?"

I pushed Yi Ping's hand away and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm fine. By the way, Lord Gongsun may come to dinner tonight, remember to cook more dishes. And I promised to buy clothes for Zhang San and Li Si, go and give them 1,000 taels of silver."

In the past, Yi Ping might have felt that one thousand two taels of silver was an astronomical figure, so much that they could never earn it in several lifetimes. But now she had more silver on hand, and Mrs. Du gave her all the gifts from the family recognition banquet. She had money in hand and became more generous.

Yi Ping nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it to them later."

I thought about it. There are quite a few servants in this house. I wonder if Zheng Xian will make clothes for them and give them year-end bonuses. As half of their masters, it would be reasonable for us to make two new sets of clothes for them and give them some bonuses for the New Year.

So I said, "Count the number of servants in this house, make two sets of new clothes for each of them and give each of them twenty taels of silver for the New Year."

Some servants might only earn one or two taels of silver a month, so giving them twenty taels at once would be enough for a prosperous New Year.

The world is not doing well nowadays, with an epidemic breaking out near the end of the year. Prices are rising sharply. With their salary alone, they probably can't even buy a few kilograms of rice, let alone buy some good things for their family.

Yi Ping said, "We have quite a few people in this house. Shouldn't we hire a housekeeper? That way, we will have someone to help manage the servants and take charge of the expenses of the house."

Yi Ping lived in the Du Mansion for a while, and unexpectedly, he really learned some ways to manage a household.

When I heard this, I praised him, "You are right. I will leave this matter to you. You can hire someone from outside or promote someone from the mansion. It's up to you. And the monthly budget here, you should also think carefully about how much money is reasonable to spend."

Yi Ping thought about it and said seriously, "I have to ask Madam Du for advice on this and ask her to help me find a housekeeper."

I nodded and said, "Okay, you decide. When you are free these few days, ask Yingchun to help enter the money and property in the boxes in the house into the account so that we can have a clear idea. We also have to go and take a look at the two shops and two houses that His Majesty gave us to see if we should take the shops back. We have to find a way to make money, otherwise our house will only go out and not in, and no matter how much money we have, it will be spent."
