Wagyu beef, seafood, vegetables, and fruit—both of them hadn't cooked in a long time, and they both felt excited and excited about the new experience.

"Of all the beef I've tried, this Wagyu beef tastes the best."

"Of course, the Great Xia Dynasty couldn't find beef that tasted better."

The beef sizzled and dripped with oil on the teppanyaki grill, making everyone's mouths water. "Jiang Yi, what do you think about us doing a promotion?"

He knew about this stuff; it was written in business books.

"Discount?"

He had considered offering discounts, but didn't implement it because he felt that once the price was restored to normal, customers would feel they were losing money. Discounts might have some effect, but it certainly wouldn't be a big one; once the novelty wore off, things would return to their usual dull state.

“You’re right. Right now, people are reluctant to spend money, and discounts and special offers are definitely not a long-term solution.” Xia Ning thought for a while. “Forget it, let’s just continue selling as things are now. Discounts really don’t work. People are afraid of being tormented, and all they want to do is hoard silver and grain. All they want is to survive.”

"Yes, they just want to live." But living is too difficult. Since coming down from the mountain, he has seen far too many aspects of human nature. In any disaster, the common people are the most unfortunate. Even if they want to live, it's not so easy.

"I wonder how things are in Ningzhou Prefecture now?"

"After we go out to trade, let's go and see, let the younger brothers go back to see their parents too. Let's bring their wives and children with them."

"That's quite a big family."

Do you eat lobster?

"Eat, a few more scallops."

Xia Ning watched him eat the chili peppers with longing. Men are so lucky; they never have to watch what they eat.

Jiang Yi couldn't stand his wife's gaze, "Why don't wean him? Don't make yourself suffer, there's formula anyway." The little guy is chubby and healthy now, clearly very well cared for.

"Fine, I'll just have to bear with it a little longer."

She couldn't bear it.

After dinner, Xia Ning held the baby and continued to breastfeed. Jiang Yi came out after showering, "Not ready yet?"

"It won't be that fast. This little guy doesn't get up during the day and doesn't sleep at night."

Jiang Yi picked him up and put him in the crib. The little guy was eating happily, but when his food ran out, he pouted and was about to cry.

He quickly stuffed a pacifier into his mouth.

"What are you doing?"

"Fuck you!"

I grass!

Is it really that straightforward?

Jiang Yi looked at her with burning eyes, and she felt like she was being melted. She said coquettishly, "Charcoal isn't full yet."

“He’s already full, he’s just playing around. Honey, let me have some fun too, I’ve been a monk for so long.”

"Master, have you returned to secular life?"

"You'd better help me renounce my vows now!" With that, you pounced on him like a hungry wolf, knocking him to the ground.

Holy crap, she lost! She actually lost?!

Xia Ning looked at the person on top of her, "Who taught you to be so shameless?"

"Just want a wife, why bother with saving face?"

If he can't get anything for his pride, he'll just throw it away!

Throughout the night, she felt herself drifting in and out of sleep, floating and sinking, swaying and staggering, as if in a dream.

In a daze, she seemed to hear crying in the middle of the journey. He even brought the child over, but as you can imagine, the supplies were running out, and the child seemed to be crying quite hard. She cursed a few times, got up to make formula, and then, and then continued to be seasick...

In the morning, seeing herself covered in bruises, Xia Ning gritted her teeth and wondered if this person was a dog.

"Jiang Yi!" He gritted his teeth, grinding them together with a grinding sound.

"what happened?"

He didn't go to the government office today. His son got up very early, and he was taking care of the child in the next room. He figured she would be waking up soon, so he came over to check on her.

"What do you mean, 'what's wrong'? Look at me! How can I face anyone?"

"There's no one else around, just me and my son, nothing to be ashamed of. The little rascal is still young, he doesn't understand anything." Looking at the marks on her body, his eyes darkened slightly, yet also burned with desire. How could he not feel a sense of accomplishment from his wife's behavior?

"Jiang Yi!"

"Don't be angry, the kitchen has made your favorite breakfast, I'll go and bring it to you."

His woman is so beautiful! She has a pretty face, a pretty nose, pretty lips, and her hair is jet black and silky smooth—she's absolutely gorgeous.

Where did you go just now?

Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow. Was there even a need to ask why he was doing this? It was obvious. "Taking care of the child."

"Why are you coming in at this time?" She had been wondering for a long time. Every time she woke up late, he would always be there when she woke up.

"You won't sleep for more than four and a half hours at a time."

"How did you know?" She herself didn't know.

"I care about you, don't I, son?"

The little figure, sucking on a pacifier, waved excitedly.

"Don't let him suck it, it's not good."

Jiang Yi unceremoniously pulled the pacifier out of his son's mouth. "Waaaaah..."

"I only let him suck on it because I was afraid he would cry and disturb your sleep."

Xia Ning: ……

This dad doesn't seem very reliable.

"Ouch..."

"What's Big Ha shouting?"

"His wife is pregnant again." Jiang Yi thought his brothers were truly beasts, having one child after another without any regard for their wives' health. He'd have a good talk with them when he had some free time.

"Another one? So fast."

Jiang Yi nodded.

Xia Ning clicked her tongue in amazement. Luckily, she had a self-sufficient space; otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to afford to raise them.

When will construction begin on the house next door? There are too many people and too little space; it's not enough!

"How about we build a wall first? We can open a small gate so they can play freely there," Jiang Yi said after thinking for a long time.

"Are you afraid..." of another disaster?

"I'm not sure. I feel like things haven't settled down yet. The house is built, but I can't take it with me. It would be such a waste to just throw it away."

Xia Ning sighed; his concerns were not unfounded. "If you're worried, find a few carpenters to build wooden houses over there, the kind that can be moved and taken with you."

"Like the kind of space you have?"

"Well, before, I only built two rooms for myself, which wasn't enough. I asked the carpenter to build them bigger so I could take them with me when I leave."

“Madam is the wisest. I’ll go get the food and then go find the housekeeper.”

If we're going to do it, we should do it big, large, and luxurious. We'll include all the furniture and interior design elements.

While things are peaceful and serene on one side, undercurrents are surging on the other.

"Master Hou!"

Looking at the hidden guard, he asked, "What's the rush?"

"A memorial submitted by the former governor to His Majesty."

The fact that his men are in such a hurry suggests that what's written inside is about him. Is there something incriminating about him? Has the prefect arrested him?

Even after they were in bed, he still wouldn't stop, which made Jiang Yi a little angry.

He took the secret letter, read it, and said without showing any emotion, "Well done. Keep a close eye on him. Follow him if any letters are sent out or if anyone goes out, especially those leaving the city. If you don't have enough manpower, bring in a few more."

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

After the people left, Jiang Yi's expression turned serious and cold. "The former prefect is courting death!"

"What's wrong?" Why is this person acting like a menopausal aunt? Shouldn't you go find the housekeeper and ask him to find a carpenter to build a wooden house?

"Look at this."

Xia Ning: ……

"We've really incurred his hatred. What do you think the emperor will do if he sees this?"

"What can be done? As long as they don't know that the immortal is you, they will definitely think that you have been favored by the immortal and are like him, and can be traded. These inexplicably appearing supplies are full of loopholes in the eyes of the governor. In the eyes of the emperor, he might say, 'Just as I thought.'"

The emperor, who thought himself exceptional, discovered that besides his ministers, ordinary people were also receiving special treatment from immortals. He was certainly unhappy, but he wouldn't do anything to them, at most feeling a little resentful. On the contrary, it was the prefect who complained that would displease the emperor, who would think he was meddling.

No matter how the governor planned it, it was all doomed to fail.

"Pfft!" Xia Ning laughed. "Now that you've thought it through and figured it out, why are you still so angry?"

"This person is dishonest and petty, just like you used to call him a villain!" He remembered his wife saying that this kind of person was the most dangerous.

There's a saying that goes, "It's better to offend a gentleman than a petty person."

“If we don’t deal with him, he’s having a hard time right now. Sometimes, death is the best relief. Let’s just watch him fight it out with his family. As for the letters, he can’t get them out anyway.”

In fact, they even saved him. If the emperor saw such a letter, the prefect might be in trouble.

"Have you talked to the housekeeper about building a wooden house? These kinds of houses are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Tell him to find more people to help."

"I forgot, I was angry just now."

"There's nothing to be angry about. If it were us, we would feel resentful and bitter too. We are not on the same path as him, we are not on the same road, we can't walk together, so we will not have any contact with him in the future."

"What you say is absolutely right, Madam!"

Xia Ning: ……

Flatterer!
