The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

The group chatted and drank tea in the living room, creating a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

However, after exchanging a few words, Shen Li didn't say much, while Yi Qianxiao kept chatting with Jia Daoshi, asking him how the manor was, whether the accommodations were good, and what he needed.

Jia Daoshi was certainly satisfied with the manor, but as for what was lacking, he couldn't quite recall it at the moment.

After inquiring about the situation at Qinfang Pavilion, Jia Daoshi thought for a moment and said:

"Miss Yi, Mr. Pei, regarding the subsequent handover of weapons, could Miss Hongshan handle it alone? I don't really like other strangers. What do you think?"

Pei Lu came here naturally hoping that I would help him forge weapons. Since he had already accepted the man's house, it wouldn't hurt to forge one or two for him.

However, he just didn't want too many strangers to come to the manor.

Yi Qianxiao and Pei Lu readily agreed to Jia Daoshi's small request: "Mr. Jia, please rest assured. From now on, we will have Hongshan handle the communication. If you have any requests, just tell that girl directly."

"Well, thank you very much."

After finishing their conversation, the group chatted about some minor details. Pei Lu left some silver and promised to deliver the finest iron ore to the manor in a few days before bidding farewell to Jia Daoshi.

This time, after learning from Jia Daoshi that there was actually a spy planted by Wu Qingye inside the Xuanhua shipyard, Yi Qianxiao naturally became restless.

This matter needs to be dealt with immediately.

"Prince Shen, please come visit often in the future." Jia Daoshi waved to the backs of the group.

Shen Li: "..."

"Ah Li, it seems this Mr. Jia likes you quite a bit," Yi Qianxiao said with a hint of amusement.

"Qianxiao, I always feel that this person is strange, a bit frivolous." Shen Li shrugged.

"It's alright, aren't all men like that? By the way, how's your search for a husband going?" Yi Qianxiao suddenly asked.

"I have no prospects. Who would dare to be my teacher, my master, and bother with this?"

……

There is a sun rising and a moon setting.

The next morning, after getting up, Jia Daoshi prepared to go for a stroll in Yilan County.

When I went out, it started to snow lightly.

The specks, like white fluff, sprinkled all over my body, just like little...

"The snow in this world is so unique?" Jia Daoshi shook his head.

A young maidservant hurriedly brought Jia Daoshi an oil-paper umbrella: "Master, Madam instructed that you should not forget to bring an umbrella when you go out."

Upon hearing this, Jia Daoshi turned to look at the little girl.

The little girl has a round face, her skin is full of collagen, and her face is chubby with a little bit of baby fat. Although she is still young, she is already a beauty in the making.

To please this "successor of the epigraphy school," Xuanhua provided him with the best of everything, both people and goods.

Looking at that chubby little face, Jia Daoshi couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch it: "Good boy!"

Unexpectedly, this action scared the little girl half to death. She turned her head and ran away with a red face!

Because she remembered that when Old Master Pei brought them here, he had said that no matter what this master did to them, they couldn't resist, including... well, you know...

"Tsk tsk, so shy?"

Jia Daoshi shook his head and turned to leave.

He had not been gone long when a servant in black arrived with a business card.

With Jia Daoshi not at home, it was naturally Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu who were in charge.

Steward Sun handed the business card to Murong Jiu.

The business card on his hand was exquisite, decorated with gilded mandarin ducks and phoenixes, and inside was a line of elegant small regular script:

"To see you is the greatest joy of my life. Tonight, I have prepared a few cups of wine and invite you to drink with me. — Jin'er, by the Yilan River."

"Jin'er?" Murong Jiu looked at Di Qinglin. "And who is this?"

"I wonder where this vixen came from. Steward Sun, take it away and burn it." Di Qinglin casually returned the business card to Steward Sun.

"Yes!"

Steward Sun carefully withdrew, holding the business card.

"Sister Qinglin, where are Sister Weishuang and Sister Ruyu now?" Murong Jiu asked with a look of longing in her eyes.

"I don't know either, but with your sister Shuang and sister Ruyu's abilities, they'll always be able to thrive wherever they are, so we don't need to worry about them," Di Qinglin said with a smile.

"Then tell me, when they come back, will they be able to find us?" Murong Jiu asked.

“I’ve left a mark. If they come back, they’ll go to Guanglong Sword Shop to find us. Once they find Guanglong Sword Shop, they’ll naturally be able to find us,” Di Qinglin said.

"Sister Qinglin is so thoughtful." Murong Jiu nodded.

……

Jia Daoshi strolled around the city for a while.

He was quite lucky today; a very wealthy family in the city was hiring a schoolteacher.

The wages are extremely high!

Thirty taels per month!

It's simply inhumane!

After making inquiries, Jia Daoshi learned that this family was very strange.

Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that this strange family was actually a master and apprentice!

And they are all women!

Why would a woman, a master and apprentice, need a tutor?

This master and apprentice pair are rarely seen struggling to make a living and seldom go out!

However, the money in the mansion seemed inexhaustible. Meat, snacks, wine, and delicacies from land and sea were never lacking!

I've heard that the master is a still-beautiful woman, and the disciple is a young girl named Shen Li, but she rarely appears in public, and almost no one has ever seen her face.

All that is known is that Shen Li is extremely beautiful, possessing a beauty that could topple kingdoms and shame the moon and flowers. Moreover, her eyes are like autumn water, her face is like jade, and she is gentle and charming.

Her beauty is simply breathtaking.

On several occasions, a few martial arts practitioners tried to sneak in and take advantage of the master and apprentice, but they were all beaten and thrown out!

From then on, no one dared to harbor any evil intentions.

Being able to teach such a woman would certainly be a pleasure.

Not only Yilan City, but also many talented men from nearby counties came to visit her. They said they came to teach, but actually they wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to this beauty.

However, the manor had been recruiting for nearly a month, and although five or six people had tried, including dashing scholars and established academicians, none of them could last more than two days before being kicked out with bruises and swelling on their faces!

It was simply because Shen Li was far too fierce; she wielded her silver spear like a dragon, terrifying all the scheming scholars!

Later, no one dared to come to this great-aunt's house to be her tutor.

That's why the wages were increased again and again, reaching thirty taels per month.

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round!

Sure enough, Jia Daoshi heard about the news of the increased payment as soon as it spread.
