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

A beautiful woman, dressed in a light green dress and wearing a fox fur scarf around her neck, appeared to be around thirty-six or thirty-seven years old. She had delicate features, bright eyes, and a captivating charm.

This was the first time Jia Daoshi had ever seen a beautiful woman other than his wife in the Great Jing Dynasty.

Moreover, this beautiful woman appears to be in her thirties, possessing a mature charm.

"Third Manager, this is the gentleman. He wants to part with the longsword he has."

The woman's expression remained calm: "Oh? Open it and take a look."

Jia Daoshi untied the cloth strips and drew his long sword.

It turned out that there was a hint of disdain in the woman's eyes.

But after seeing Jia Daoshi draw his sword, his eyes narrowed sharply: "You go out first."

"Yes!"

After dismissing the servant in blue, the woman sat down in front of Jia Daoshi.

"How should I address this gentleman?"

The woman's voice was very pleasant, soft and gentle, and slow and deliberate.

And she looks quite good when she smiles.

Jia Daoshi remained calm and unhurried: "Selling weapons here, do I need to introduce myself?"

"No, that's not it. What we at Guanglong Sword Shop value most is our customers' privacy," the woman said with a smile. "I just thought this gentleman didn't seem like an ordinary person, so I wanted to make his acquaintance."

"Oh? Then you flatter me, shopkeeper. I really am just an ordinary person." Jia Daoshi smiled.

"You're too modest, sir." The woman was very polite. Seeing that Jia Daoshi was unwilling to reveal his identity, she immediately changed the subject to the longsword itself: "Sir, are you looking to sell this longsword?"

"Correct."

"Okay, I'll take a look first."

The woman reached out and picked up the Heaven-Slaying Sword from the table.

"The Heaven-Slaying Sword? That's quite an imposing name for a sword."

The woman drew out a section of the sword, and looking at the two characters "Yitian" on it, a glint of light appeared in her eyes.

"Shh!"

The Heaven-Slaying Sword was fully drawn, flashing with a cold light in the air. Its blade was like a pool of autumn water, reflecting the moon in a cold pond!

"What a sword!"

The woman gently stroked the sword with her fair and slender hand.

Jia Daoshi smiled slightly. This is certainly a good sword, no worse than the swords on the weapon rack outside!

"You don't mind if I give it a try?"

The woman turned her head to look at Jia Daoshi.

"of course can."

Jia Daoshi nodded.

Upon hearing this, the woman casually picked up a piece of wood from the side.

Guanglong Sword Shop has wood specifically for testing weapons.

This kind of thing is not like ordinary iron farm tools; it's meant to be used in combat. If you don't try it, how will you know how it is?

The woman placed a piece of wood on the table, then swung her longsword and slashed diagonally!

His movements were very skillful, indicating that he had done a lot of sword-testing before.

This sword strike was swift and decisive.

"call out!"

"Clap!"

The wood was split in two, the cut was clean and smooth, a single, clean stroke!

This type of wood is a common acacia wood in the Great Jing Dynasty. It is very hard and has a very pleasant smell. It can be used not only to make furniture but also to make spices.

Guanglong Sword Shop usually uses this kind of wood to test the sharpness and toughness of weapons.

"What a sword!"

The woman picked up the sword and praised it again.

Clearly, she was very satisfied with this test.

Seeing this, Jia Daoshi felt relieved.

"Sir, are you really willing to part with this Heaven-Slaying Sword?"

The woman put down her long sword, turned around, and asked.

"Of course, otherwise what would I be doing here?"

"Very well!" The woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since you are truly willing to part with it, my Guanglong Sword Shop is willing to offer one hundred taels of silver to buy it! I wonder if this is acceptable to you, sir?"

"One hundred taels..."

Jia Daoshi sighed inwardly.

The woman's offer was fair, because most longswords outside cost several tens of taels of silver. Although her Yitian Sword was a good sword, the materials used were quite ordinary. If it weren't for the hundred-forging method, it probably wouldn't have sold for much money.

In the Great Jing Dynasty, one hundred taels of silver was no small sum!

For example, the steamed buns that were just being sold outside cost only one coin each.

A bowl of wontons costs only one coin.

One tael of silver is worth one hundred coins. One hundred taels is worth ten thousand coins!

Can a large family eat a hundred steamed buns a month?

Jia Quan only spent fifteen taels of silver on those inferior iron ore stones.

Now he has used a few of them and earned a hundred taels.

That's already incredibly impressive!

"Sir, this is the highest price I can offer," the woman said with a smile.

This price is indeed very fair for Guanglong Sword Shop.

Besides, they would sell the swords for money, and such a large business couldn't afford to lose money.

The sword has already proven its strength by severing the acacia tree with a single strike. With a good scabbard and proper packaging, it could easily fetch two hundred taels of silver.

The poverty of the people in the Great Jing Dynasty was limited to the common people.

Those scions of aristocratic families and disciples of leaders of major sects still have money in their hands.

Spending some money to buy a divine weapon for protection is not a problem.

It's like people from two different worlds.

Or rather, they are people from two different social classes.

Jia Daoshi was naturally aware of this, but he also knew that he couldn't be too greedy.

If you sell it for two hundred taels, and the seller doesn't make a profit, then why should they buy it?

"Okay, deal."

Jia Daoshi nodded.

The woman went to the door, called over a servant in blue, and then gave Jia Daoshi one hundred taels of silver.

Jia Daoshi accepted the silver, and the money and goods were settled.

Jia Daoshi did not intend to give this money to Ji Yuan.

However, the poll tax still needs to be paid.

After paying the poll tax, the money was used for the family's daily expenses.

As for Ji Yuan, he now has other options.

As for continuing to develop better weapons, he has no such plans at the moment.

Given his current circumstances and conditions, forging a powerful weapon too early could easily bring him trouble.

For now, we need to play it safe and proceed cautiously.

Jia Daoshi collected the silver from the table, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the woman and the servant in blue, and then left Guanglong Sword Shop.

The woman even escorted Jia Daoshi all the way to the entrance of the sword shop, waving goodbye.

This made Jia Daoshi somewhat emotional; after all, a big store is a big store, it pays great attention to detail and is very trustworthy.

After leaving Guanglong Sword Shop, Jia Daoshi originally wanted to buy some iron ore, but he needed his uncle's business license to do so, so he gave up.

Finally, remembering the meager food supplies at home, he decided to buy some food and other necessities here before heading back.

Such as salt, sugar, tooth powder used for brushing teeth, etc.

Just as Jia Daoshi was shopping on the street, a carriage stopped in front of Guanglong Sword Shop.

An elderly man in brocade robes stepped down from the carriage; he was clearly an important figure!

With the arrival of this elderly man in brocade robes, Guanglong Sword Shop immediately became bustling with activity.

Not only the woman from before, but also the second manager, who rarely shows his face, came out to greet them personally.

"Hmm? Where did this Heaven-Slaying Sword come from?"
