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

"Ah Jiu! What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed!"

Di Qinglin's call brought Murong Jiu back to reality from her daze.

"Sister Qinglin, did you call me?"

"Otherwise what? Are you alright?"

As soon as Murong Jiu looked up, he saw Di Qinglin and Jia Daoshi both staring at him!

"Do you have a fever? Are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so red?" Jia Daoshi also noticed something was wrong. Could it be that he caught a cold from the mountain wind on the way?

"Oh! I'm not feeling unwell, I'll go paste the oil paper!"

Murong Jiu hurriedly got up and started framing the paper with oil, but in her haste, she got porridge paste all over her face!

"What's wrong with this girl?" Di Qinglin asked suspiciously.

Jia Daoshi shook his head: "I don't know either!"

The task of catching and cleaning the fish was left to Uncle Jia Quan, so Jia Daoshi and his two companions had some free time after installing the windows.

After dinner, Jia Daoshi practiced the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill in the courtyard.

Murong Jiu and Di Qinglin were inside the house calculating today's accounts.

Anyway, idle is idle.

In conclusion, Jia Daoshi's spending was simply too extravagant!

With my current income, I can't keep spending money like this!

Although they used to live a life of luxury, things are not the same now.

If you spend money so extravagantly, the hundred or so taels left over from selling the sword will be gone very quickly!

There is currently no good supply of iron ore, so we cannot forge good swords.

The money earned solely from selling fish isn't much!

Moreover, fish-selling techniques can be easily copied!

Soon, Jia Daoshi finished practicing and went into the room.

Now, he practices for a while every day!

After each practice session, I feel full of energy, as if I have inexhaustible strength!

"Lang Jun!"

"Jia Daoshi!"

Just as Jia Daoshi was about to take a bath, his two wives called out to him in unison!

"what happened?"

Jia Daoshi looked at the two serious little faces and was a little confused.

Did I do anything wrong?

“My lord, we sold a total of 360 fish today, earning three taels of silver and six hundred copper coins. In addition, we received ten taels of silver from Young Master Yi, making a total of thirteen taels of silver and six hundred copper coins! However, we spent nine taels of silver and nine hundred copper coins on food, windows, doors, oil paper, and firewood!”

Murong Jiu spoke eloquently.

This amount is absolutely astronomical in the villages of the Great Jing Dynasty!

However, Murong Jiu's tone was calm and unwavering.

After all, she had actually seen mountains of gold and silver two years ago.

“Isn’t there still a surplus? Besides, we bought a lot of things and ate a lot of meat. Didn’t we spend all the money on ourselves?” Jia Daoshi said.

"My lord! Don't forget! If it weren't for Young Master Yi's ten taels of silver, we would have been losing money!" Murong Jiu said irritably.

"Let's not talk about food and such, but why do we need to carve these windows and doors? In our village, only the village head's family and Jia An's family have them. Do we need to compare ourselves with them? And this oiled paper! Only the village head's family and Jia An's family use oiled paper. Uncle's family uses ordinary coarse paper!"

Murong Jiu has completely integrated into life in Jiajia Village, just like a housewife!

This scene made Jia Daoshi feel very warm and familiar.

Some memories from the depths of his heart welled up in his mind.

I remember when I was a child, when my parents were still alive, whenever my father bought me some toys or snacks, my mother would nag me like this.

He used to find it annoying.

But now I miss it terribly.

"Jia Daoshi, are you even listening to us?" Di Qinglin couldn't help but ask when he saw Jia Daoshi's distracted expression.

“Listen! Of course I’m listening! My two wives’ voices are so beautiful and lovely, how could I not listen!” Jia Daoshi laughed.

Murong Jiu: "..."

She always felt that Jia Daoshi was very different now than before. He could talk about these things with ease, often making her heart race!

"Glib talker, no good at all!" Di Qinglin sneered.

“However, I think Qinglin quite enjoyed my rambling last night!” Jia Daoshi smiled.

Upon hearing this, Di Qinglin's face turned red again!

Every night, Di Qinglin would remove the black veil from her face, revealing a pair of emerald eyes that made her exceptionally alluring!

"Alright." Jia Daoshi glanced at the moonlight outside and said with a serious expression, "Ladies, I've had a long day too. Aren't you going to help me bathe and change?"

"Yes, my lord, you've worked hard." Murong Jiu replied instinctively.

Di Qinglin said sternly, "You can't touch me tonight!"

Jia Daoshi: "..."

……

the next day.

The back gate of Guanglong Sword Shop.

Two figures sat on the steps, shoulder to shoulder.

"Miss, do you think Zeng Aniu might send us some grilled fish?"

"of course."

"Are you so sure?"

"Nonsense! Who do you think I am? I've never made a mistake in judging people!"

"Then do you think he might come to our Guanglong Sword Manual and work for us?"

"It's hard to say, I'm not sure either."

"Oh... then, Miss..."

at this time--

"Hey! The grilled fish you ordered is here!"

A cold voice sounded.

The two women turned their heads and saw a woman in green, tall and slender, with her long hair simply tied in a bun at the back of her head, similar to a modern ponytail.

Her face was covered by a black veil, exuding a mysterious aura amidst her cool and beautiful appearance!

This black dress was specially sewn by Jia Daoshi according to Di Qinglin's preferences, and it perfectly suits her temperament.

Especially after being nourished by Jia Daoshi, she gained a subtle feminine charm.

Standing in a crowd, he was like a crane among chickens!

"It's you!"

Yi Qi stood up.

She was shorter than Di Qinglin, so when she stood up, she silently took a step back up the steps behind her.

"Why didn't your husband, Zeng Aniu, come?" asked the "boy" beside him.

“My husband is currently unable to leave. He said that the grilled fish should be eaten while it’s hot, so he asked me to bring it over first!” Di Qinglin said calmly.

Previously, Jia Daoshi told her that he used a pseudonym called Zeng Aniu, which made Di Qinglin laugh.

That's a really good name!

It perfectly suits Jia Daoshi's temperament.

And for some reason, she always gets the wrong idea when this name is mentioned!

"Oh! I see. Then thank you very much, young lady!" Yi Qi smiled slightly.

This man's smile really does resemble a woman's!

Di Qinglin's eyes were covered by black gauze. Although his nose and ears were extraordinary, it was still somewhat difficult for him to observe whether the other person was male or female through a layer of gauze.

"You're welcome. It's what I should do. Please enjoy your meal, Young Master Yi. I'll head back now."

As Di Qinglin spoke, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yi Qi, then turned and left.

They quickly disappeared into the crowd around the street corner!

"Miss, this Zeng Aniu's wife is really beautiful! It's just a pity that she has bad eyesight."

"This woman has an extraordinary air about her, and I feel like I've seen her somewhere before, but I just can't remember where." Yi Qi frowned slightly.

"Really? She's just a country bumpkin." The maid curled her lip. "She can't possibly compare to you, Miss!"

"Alright, who wants to compete with her? Let's go back and eat fish!"

"Alright! Time to eat fish!"
