After finishing their return visit, the two went home and continued to spend time together.

The next morning after breakfast, Li Shao took Zhao Ye to the town. Fearing that Zhao Ye's feet would hurt from walking, they took a donkey cart, which cost two cents per person.

When he arrived in the town, all the shops on the street were open for business, and there were also stalls selling things on the roadside. There were all kinds of food, daily necessities, and toys that Zhao Ye was dazzled by.

Li Shao looked at his curious expression and decided to take his wife out to play more often in the future.

"My dear, there are chicken and ducklings for sale. Let's buy a few before we leave. Then we don't have to spend money to eat eggs in the future."

Li Shao smiled and said yes.

When they came to a ready-made clothing shop, Li Shao pulled Zhao Ye in. The shop was not small, with a shopkeeper and two waiters. The counter was filled with cloth of various colors, and various ready-made clothing samples were hung on the walls.

Seeing the guests coming in, the waiter hurried to greet them, "Dear guests, please come in. Our shop has just received a lot of new cloth, I'm sure you'll like one of them." Seeing that the two men were dressed like country people, the waiter directly recommended the cloth.

Except for those who have some money at home, most people buy cloth and make the clothes themselves at home. The labor cost of buying ready-made clothes directly is quite high.

It was Zhao Ye's first time in such a place, and he clung to Li Shao with some uneasiness. Li Shao put his arm around Zhao Ye's waist to comfort him, and said to the waiter, "Let my husband choose some cloth suitable for young men. If you have good material, ask the tailor to measure your body and make some clothes for you."

The shopkeeper who was using the abacus at the counter heard that this was a big deal, and wanted to make several sets of ready-made clothes. He hurried over to the waiter and said, "Hurry up, you are so slow."

When Zhao Ye heard that he wanted to make clothes, he hurriedly leaned over to Li Shao's ear and whispered, "My husband, it's too expensive to make clothes in the store. I can make them when I buy a piece of cloth. Also, you don't have to make so many clothes for me. I have clothes to wear, so you should make two sets."

"Brother Ye, your clothes are old and they feel taut when you touch them. Once your new clothes are ready, throw away your old ones."

"But husband, how much silver does this cost?" Zhao Ye thought that even though there was silver at home, it couldn't be spent like this.

"Brother Ye, listen to me. Too much sewing will strain your eyes. Spending less money will tire you out. I will be heartbroken. Besides, my husband loves to see you wearing new clothes."

Seeing how much the man doted on his wife, the shopkeeper quickly interrupted, "My husband, just listen to your husband. Where can you find a man who dotes on you so much?"

It was not easy for Zhao Ye to keep refuting Li Shao in front of outsiders. Zhao Ye had to choose the fabric with Li Shao because he could not persuade him. Li Shao decided which color suited Zhao Ye best and which color was also good.

Finally, despite Zhao Ye's strenuous resistance, he selected six pieces of cloth with different patterns and randomly chose a few pieces of dark-colored cloth for himself. After the tailor measured the sizes of both of them, Li Shao selected a few pairs of shoes for himself and Ye Ge'er. Because they bought a lot, the shopkeeper gave them a small change, a total of three and a half taels. Li Shao paid half of the deposit, got the receipt, and went back seven days later to pick up the clothes.

Zhao Ye was still confused when he walked out of the store. He spent three and a half taels in such a short time.

Looking at the confused Zhao Ye, the lovely Li Shao wanted to kiss him in the street. He also dragged Zhao Ye to a jewelry store to buy jewelry. He couldn't accept the fact that the only decoration on her husband's body was the silver hairpin that she gave him before the marriage.

After coming out of the jewelry shop, Zhao Ye had a jade hairpin wrapped with gold threads on her head, a pair of silver earrings on her ears, and a circular gold bracelet with carved patterns on her left hand. Zhao Ye, who was unable to resist, had become numb to her husband's ability to spend money.

The married women and boys in the village all said that men would spend money on the women they liked. Thinking about how Brother Li was willing to spend money on him, Zhao Ye felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey.

Although he still felt bad about the money, he was more happy. Moreover, the jewelry that Brother Li chose for him was really beautiful. He had never seen anything like it in his life.

The customers in the jewelry store just now were basically boys and girls. They were extremely envious when they saw Brother Li buying jewelry for him without blinking an eye. From the looks of these people, it seemed that Zhao Ye had the urge to show off for the first time, as he also had his own treasure.

"Brother Ye, why are you in a daze? There's a rouge shop right next to you, take a look and see if there's anything you want to buy." Looking at the young husband standing there with a silly smile on his hand, Li Shao found him adorable no matter how he looked at him.

"Rouge? I haven't put on makeup except for the day I got married." But he was a boy after all, and he loved beauty. When he saw the rouge shop, he still wanted to go in and take a look. He thought that since he couldn't stop his husband from spending money, he might as well go with him and not be the one who spoiled his fun.

The two of them entered the rouge shop. They could not give any comments on the prices of these rouge and powder. They stood by and watched Zhao Ye pick and choose according to the store owner's recommendation. After choosing for a long time, he finally chose a bath bean.

Li Shao thought about Ye Ge'er's rough little hands and said, "Is there anything I can apply to moisturize the skin without causing it to peel? It has to be good."

The shopkeeper took out a small box and said, "As you said, the most effective product in the shop is this jade cream. It contains many precious ingredients and is very moisturizing when applied to the skin. Not only will your skin become smoother after long-term use, it also has the effect of whitening your skin. But it's not cheap, one box costs three hundred coins."

"Three hundred coins?!" Zhao Ye thought that this was a rip-off. A pound of pork was only about thirty coins, and this small box could buy ten pounds of pork.

"Okay, take two boxes, including the bath beans." Li Shao decided to take two boxes first. Anyway, he would bring Ye Ge'er to the town to play often in the future, so there was no need to buy too much at one time. He would try it first to see if it worked.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately asked the waiter to pack it up. Li Shao gave the silver, took the things, and walked out holding Zhao Ye's hand.

Seeing her husband's face that seemed to be hesitant to speak, she couldn't help but smile and said, "You've made progress, Brother Ye. This time you didn't ask your husband not to buy it."

Zhao Ye glanced at him and muttered, "You didn't listen to me."

Li Shao stretched out his hand and pinched Zhao Ye's pouting lips and said, "Hahaha, if you know, just listen to your husband. Little duck must be hungry, let's find a place to eat first, and then continue walking around later."

Li Shao chose a restaurant in the town that seemed to be doing a booming business, mainly because he saw Ye Ge'er staring at the second floor of the restaurant, so he thought of bringing him up to take a look.

As soon as we entered, the waiter came to greet us. This combination is quite interesting. The intimacy between the two of them shows that they are a couple. The man is tall and strong, with thick arms that make him look tough. He is dressed like an ordinary villager. The boy next to him is thin, but the jewelry he wears is worth a lot of money. I think the two of them are not short of money.

He hurriedly greeted them, "Please come in, gentlemen."

Li Shao asked, "Are there any seats on the second floor?"

"Yes, please come this way. You two are on the second floor." The waiter led the way and shouted.
