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

noon.

The people in the market had gradually dispersed.

Di Qinglin had been busy all morning and was covered in sweat.

Murong Jiu's job was a bit easier; she only had to collect the money. At this moment, she held the money bag in her hand, occasionally opening it to take a look. Seeing the heavy copper coins inside, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Oh dear! Looks like I'm too late! I'm out of luck!"

A pleasant voice rang out.

Jia Daoshi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yi Qi, along with his handsome young follower.

Yi Qi was practicing his sword in the courtyard today when he suddenly smelled a very familiar and pleasant scent!

Isn't this exactly the taste of Zeng Aniu's grilled fish?

She followed the scent and came over, but no matter how fast she rushed, she was still too late!

"It's Brother Yi." Jia Daoshi chuckled. "You're late today, but I can treat you to a meal at a restaurant."

As he spoke, Jia Daoshi pointed to the restaurant not far away.

Just then, Jia Daoshi suddenly felt a hand tugging at his clothes.

Turning my head, I saw it was Ajiu.

Murong Jiu leaned closer and said in a very soft voice, "My lord, the food and wine at Zuixianlou are very expensive!"

"kindness?"

Yi Qi had excellent hearing, and he heard Murong Jiu's voice clearly.

Although she had guessed that the two young ladies belonged to Jia Daoshi, she still felt a little disappointed.

However, he still had to eat, so he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Zeng once saved my life, so this meal should be on my behalf!"

As soon as Yi Qi finished speaking, Murong Jiu's face turned bright red.

Jia Daoshi laughed and said, "That won't do. Since the Zuixianlou restaurant is too expensive, let's find an ordinary tavern. Brother Yi helped me when I sold fish last time, so it's only right that I treat you this time."

"Too expensive?" Yi Qi tilted his head and thought for a while before he understood what Jia Daoshi meant. He immediately laughed and said, "Brother Zeng is quite witty. Alright! Let's find an ordinary tavern then."

Soon, the group arrived at a small roadside tavern.

It's called a small tavern, but it's actually the same Zhu Sanfu Inn where we ate last time.

The group sat under a shaded pavilion. The waiter who had served them last time quickly stepped forward: "Oh! Young master, you're here again. What shall we eat this time?"

"Noodles, pork bones, and some pickled vegetables, please."

"Got it!"

Soon, all the dishes were served. Looking at the table full of food, Murong Jiu felt a little distressed.

You don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt until you're in charge of the household; this one meal costs an ounce of silver.

Although Di Qinglin was also distressed about the money, she also knew that the handsome young man in front of her, who looked like a woman, had helped them a lot. If it weren't for him, the last time they sold grilled fish wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Thinking of this, Di Qinglin hugged Murong Jiu and whispered, "Ajiu, we rarely get to eat out these days, you have to eat more. Look at you, you're so thin. Jia Daoshi knows how to make money, so we need to know how to spend it..."

Murong Jiu: "..."

But thinking about it, that makes a lot of sense.

I'm a princess! Why should I wrong myself?

Thinking of this, Murong Jiu immediately perked up.

Jia Hu couldn't wait any longer and stretched out a large hand, as big as a bear's paw, to grab the pig bone!

"Snapped!"

Jia Daoshi slapped Jia Hu's bear paw away and said irritably, "What's your hurry! The guests haven't eaten yet! You need to follow the rules!"

"Hehe, it's okay, let's all eat together!"

Yi Qi burst into laughter, a laugh that stunned both Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu!

This young master's smile is so beautiful, so captivating!

Yi Qi reached for a large pork bone, put it in his mouth and started gnawing on it. After a few bites, he exclaimed, "Delicious! Really delicious! Everyone, eat up!"

Eating is a great indicator of a person's upbringing.

Although Yi Qi put on the airs of a free spirit, his demeanor was elegant in every way. Even when he ate, he seemed to eat very fast, but in reality he was chewing slowly and carefully!

"Alright, everyone, please eat."

Jia Daoshi smiled and nodded.

"Brother Zeng, although these pork bones are delicious, it's a real shame I didn't get to eat your grilled fish today," Yi Qi said with a smile.

"That's easy. I'll save ten or twenty for you tomorrow." Jia Daoshi thought to himself, "Isn't that simple?"

"Then thank you very much, Brother Zeng. Not only are you highly skilled in martial arts, but your culinary skills are also unconventional, which is truly admirable," Yi Qi said with a smile.

"Brother Yi, you flatter me." Jia Daoshi shook his head.

Then, the group ate.

Jia Daoshi, Murong Jiu, Di Qinglin, and Jia Hu were already starving, so they ate very seriously.

Yi Qi, on the other hand, didn't eat much. Instead, her beautiful, woman-like gaze remained fixed on Jia Daoshi.

"My lord, why is he staring at you?" Murong Jiu noticed something was amiss and asked softly.

This time, her voice was very low, as if she were whispering.

This was the first time she had ever seen a man stare at another man so intently, almost without blinking!

"Hey! What are you trying to do, staring at my husband like that?"

Di Qinglin also sensed that something was wrong.

After a moment's hesitation, she uttered a shocking statement: "Do you have homosexual tendencies? Do you have a crush on my husband?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Daoshi was completely stunned!

This woman really dares to say anything!

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Jia Daoshi grabbed Di Qinglin's neck and pulled her to his side, whispering, "Is this something you can say? If you really want to say it, keep it to yourself for now. You can say whatever you want when we get home!"

Yi Qi's ears twitched, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "Brother Zeng, you're so good to your wife."

If this were someone else, wouldn't they give their wife a good scolding if she talked nonsense outside?

Di Qinglin snorted coldly: "That grown man, staring at another man all the time, it's hard not to have some suspicions!"

Murong Jiu sensed something was wrong!

what's the situation?

It seems like my sister Qinglin is jealous?

Could it be that Qinglin changed after she did that with her husband?

"Sister Qinglin, are you jealous?"

Murong Jiu leaned in and chuckled.

Di Qinglin was taken aback, but after realizing what he meant, he immediately shook his head: "Jealous? Why would I be jealous! Let whoever likes him like him! I don't care about men! I can't be bothered to care!"

As he spoke, Di Qinglin silently ate his noodles.

However, her face, hidden beneath the black veil, was flushed.

Jia Daoshi's face showed a playful expression: "Brother Yi, you didn't come to see me just to eat my grilled fish and then praise me a bit, did you?"

Yi Qi smiled again: "Brother Zeng is indeed clever. I came to see you because I really have something to discuss. I wonder if you are free this afternoon? We can find a place to learn more about it."

"Go deeper?" Jia Daoshi was a little confused about Yi Qi's meaning.

Murong Jiu and Di Qinglin perked up their ears.

Want to learn more?

Di Qinglin's expression was even more strange!
