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

Chapter 714 Market

"My lord, it's been so long since I've had a sugar figurine. How about we go to the market together to buy some?"

Shen Li said, holding Jia Daoshi's arm.

No matter what, Shen Li is a girl, and even though she fights on the battlefield all year round, she still likes to eat a little dessert occasionally.

Jia Daoshi naturally wouldn't refuse Shen Li's request. He smiled and nodded, "Sure, let's book the entire market in Juebi City today!"

"Hehe, thank you so much, my lord!"

Shen Li only showed this feminine side of herself in front of Jia Daoshi.

"Thank you? You're saying thank you to me?" Jia Daoshi's face hardened. "Do we need to use those two words between us?"

"If Ah Li likes it, I can even get the moon from the sky for you!"

Although Jia Daoshi's words were exaggerated, they were quite effective, making Shen Li smile from ear to ear.

However, to be fair, Jia Daoshi was truly good to his wife.

With the black gold stone casually tucked into his pocket, Jia Daoshi took Shen Li's hand and led her toward the market in the city of Juebi.

Compared to the desolate and turbulent atmosphere before the great battle, the city of Juebi after the battle has been completely transformed, and is now full of life and vitality.

Mingyue Xin has spent a lot of money in Juebi City, seemingly wanting to transform this small border town into the most prosperous city in Youzhou County.

Given the current state of Cliff City, it's perfectly normal for it to attract forces from all sides.

In addition, Jia Daoshi also opened the headquarters of Mixue Dancheng Youzhou County in Juebi City.

After the news spread, heroes and outlaws from the surrounding area flocked to the scene.

Especially those江湖客 (jianghu ke, martial arts practitioners), who were already generous and had some wealth, quickly boosted the economy of Juebi City.

In addition, Jia Daoshi just announced that he would hold a grand celebration banquet, which made even more martial arts masters flock to it.

With more people, there are more vendors, and you can hear shouts and calls even before you arrive at the market.

"Roast chicken noodles! Delicious roast chicken noodles! If it's not delicious, you don't have to pay!"

"Five-spice mung beans! Five-spice mung beans!"

"Genuine Western Region glass, clink! Clink! Genuine Western Region glass, clink!"

"My lord, I see a dark aura about you..."

"..."

The two had just arrived at the market when they heard a constant stream of shouts and calls.

"Sir, I haven't eaten for ten days. Please have mercy and give me some money for food!"

Suddenly, a grumpy old man jumped out in front of Jia Daoshi.

Although he could tell at a glance that this was a swindler, Jia Daoshi was in a good mood today and casually took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it over.

"Here, this should be enough for you to eat for a long time."

Jia Daoxian has no shortage of money now.

"Thank you, hero! Thank you, hero! May you live a long and healthy life! Girl, hurry up and come over to thank the hero!" The old beggar reached behind him and pulled out a pretty little girl.

"Thank you, great hero! May you live a long and prosperous life, and be invincible throughout the world!"

The girl was clearly surprised to be caught, and for a moment she looked a little flustered.

"Alright, don't be shy."

Jia Daoshi didn't pay any attention, nodded to the grandfather and grandson, and then walked towards the sugar figurine vendor.

Shen Li followed behind Jia Daoshi, but as she passed the little girl, she subtly slipped a large silver note into the girl's arms.

In this chaotic world where people devour each other without spitting out the bones, simply surviving is already an immense challenge.

The grandfather and granddaughter in front of us may be con artists, but this is just a means for them to survive.

Jia Daoshi also noticed Shen Li's action, but he didn't pay any attention to it.

He simply tightened his grip on Shen Li's hand and led her to the sugar figurine stall.

How much are the sugar figurines?

Jia Daoshi asked.

The shopkeeper, busy making sugar figurines, didn't even look up: "The big ones over there, dragons, phoenixes, and tigers, are six coins. If you want the small ones over there, they're only three coins. If you buy two, I'll give you a discount, only eight coins. If you buy three, I'll give you a small sugar figurine for free."

"Oh?" Jia Daoshi hadn't expected to encounter a buy-three-get-one-free promotion here.

It seems that no matter the time or place, business people always have the sharpest minds.

"Master, how about three skewers? We also have freshly made sugar figurines here."

After finishing his sugar figurine, the shopkeeper looked up at Jia Daoshi and immediately recognized him as a wealthy young master from a prominent family. He then worked very hard to promote the figurine.

"Give me two sugar figurines to try first. If they're good, I'll buy your entire stall."

Although Jia Daoshi was out having romantic time with Shen Li, he did not forget his wives at home.

"Row!"

Upon hearing that a big order had arrived, the boss immediately perked up and carefully handed the sugar figurine he had just made to Jia Daoshi.

"I'll just have a small sugar figurine."

Jia Daoshi reached out to take the small sugar figurine.

After all, he doesn't really like sweet things.

But Shen Li took the sugar figurine first and said with a smile, "My lord, I'll eat the small one, you can eat the big one."

As she spoke, Shen Li brought the sugar figurine to her lips, parted her lips slightly, and took a small bite.

"Crack!"

With that bite, it was like biting into a piece of solidified dusk; the amber syrup slowly melted in her mouth, and the aroma of caramel gradually filled the air.

This familiar scent made Shen Li slowly close her eyes.

She hadn't eaten a sugar figurine in ages; it was bought for her by her father.

In the blink of an eye, at least a decade or so has passed!

Now, when I eat sugar figurines, the man beside me is someone I can entrust my life to.

She already has the two most important men in her life.

At this moment, Shen Li seemed to have transformed into a little girl, her gaze towards Jia Daoshi gentle and tender.

"My lord, why aren't you eating? Is it not tasty?"

Seeing that Jia Daoshi was just watching her quietly without eating the sugar figurine, Shen Li couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Jia Daoshi smiled and said, "My wife, you are so beautiful."

Shen Li's lips curled up slightly: "Smooth talker!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Seeing Shen Li's playful appearance, Jia Daoshi was in a great mood.

"Boss, I'll take all of your sugar figurines. I'll have them delivered directly to the city lord's mansion later!"

In a good mood, Jia Daoshi simply bought the entire sugar figurine stall in front of him!

"Alright, Lord! Wait! The Lord's Mansion? Could it be that you are..."

This……

Soon, the owner of the sugar figurine stall came to his senses!

However, by this time, Jia Daoshi had already led Shen Li away.

"I just heard from Rouya that a variety show troupe came to the city and their performance is amazing. Shall we go check it out?"

Shen Li rested her head on Jia Daoshi's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Okay."

Jia Daoshi held Shen Li's slender waist as they walked through the bustling market.

The sun was shining brightly today, and Jia Daoshi's mood was equally radiant.
