Your Majesty said that my life is worthless, so why are you crying when I increase my troops?

Xu Shuiyue raised her head in surprise, her eyes a little evasive.

Xia Mingyuan smiled and said calmly, "I have redeemed your indenture and given you a new identity document."

"If you want to leave Hanyang, you can leave now."

"From now on, we will keep our identities secret. No matter what we do, there will be no intersection between us."

"As for you, if you want to stay, I've rented a shop in the south of the city and plan to open a tailor shop. I can give you a job there. The monthly salary is fifteen taels of silver, and I won't ask you to do anything you don't want to do."

"I stayed!"

Without any hesitation, Xu Shuiyue nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Xia Mingyuan couldn't help but smile, "Miss Shuiyue, aren't you afraid that I, Xia Mingyuan, will regret it in the future?"

"After all, I spent three thousand taels to buy your indenture."

"I believe that Master Xia is definitely not a mean person who would go back on his word."

"This indenture is the evidence."

Xu Shuiyue looked determined and spoke seriously.

"What's more, in this world, women's lives are like weeds. If I leave Hanyang, what else can I do for a living? If I'm tricked, I'll probably end up in a brothel or sell myself as a maid in a wealthy family."

"If I stay in Hanyang and have a job like this, I won't have to worry about being bullied."

"You're quite smart."

Xia Mingyuan nodded gently and said calmly: "In that case, you can stay in the shop in the south of the city first. The tailor shop will open in a few days."

"Yes!"

Xu Shuiyue nodded quickly, but soon thought of something, "Master Xia, what about Mother He..."

"I've already said hello to her."

Xia Mingyuan waved his hand and said, "Just leave as you wish."

"Thank you, Master Xia."

Xu Shuiyue couldn't hide her excitement and wanted to kneel down to salute, but Xia Mingyuan reached out and held her back.

"Don't thank me, this is the result of your own choice."

"The road ahead is long, and we may never meet again."

After leaving this sentence, Xia Mingyuan turned around and left without saying anything else.

Only Xu Shuiyue was left standing there in a daze, not saying a word for a long time.

Two days later.

A shocking piece of news came from Hanyang City.

The courtesans of Cuiwei Tower have recently changed into a new type of underwear.

Not only is it comfortable to wear, but most importantly it looks great.

All the men who have seen it couldn't stop themselves. After returning home, they told each other and informed their relatives and friends about it.

For a moment, the threshold of Cuiwei Tower was almost broken down.

Countless guests flocked to the scene, curious to see it.

But at this moment, Cuiweilou actually announced that it would be closed for one day.

Everyone wanted to curse, but soon Mrs. He from Cuiwei Building announced that a lingerie show for the top courtesans would be held there early tomorrow morning.

You only need to buy a ticket and you can watch it as usual. If you like the courtesan, you can stay here overnight.

After all this trouble, Cuiwei Tower successfully aroused the curiosity of people all over the city.

For a time, the price of tickets for the lingerie show skyrocketed, and the most expensive seat was actually sold for one hundred taels of silver.

With this amount of money, you can even have sex with the most beautiful courtesan.

But at the lingerie show, you can only feast your eyes. If you want more items, you have to pay more!

At this moment, in Cuiwei Tower, Xia Mingyuan was busy and sweating profusely.

"You two shorter ones, after you get on stage, lie down in this position."

"Yes, that's right. Don't be shy, show it openly."

"Those two at the back, you need to play to your strengths, chest out, hands on hips."

"Walk to this position, stop, and blow a kiss to the audience."

Xia Mingyuan directed the courtesans in their underwear in the brothel, and would go on stage from time to time to correct their movements.

After working for most of the day, he finally sat back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

He Sanniang walked forward tactfully and fanned him attentively.

"Mr. Xia, it's really thanks to you."

"If you hadn't disciplined these girls, even if we really had this lingerie show tomorrow, everyone would have been in chaos."

Xia Mingyuan took a sip of tea, grinned, and extended his hand to He Sanniang.

"Three thousand taels, no bargaining."

"I wonder if you plan to pay me in cash or maritime notes, Sanniang?"

He Sanniang's expression froze, and a hint of pain flashed across her face.

"Mr. Xia, the tickets we sold today only made three thousand taels. Your price is too high."

"Or you could give me a discount..."

Xia Mingyuan glanced at her lightly with an unhappy look on his face.

"Sanniang, I don't like what you said."

"The other day, you bought Miss Shuiyue's indenture for three thousand taels of silver. No bargaining."

"I didn't say anything at that time?"

"Oh, this..."

He Sanniang's face turned green, and she quickly explained, "Sir, when Miss Shuiyue sold herself, our Cuiwei Tower gave her three hundred taels."

"Our brothel has a rule that if you want to redeem yourself, you must pay ten times the price. If we give you a free hand, the girls in the brothel will probably be furious in the future."

"That's none of my business."

Xia Mingyuan curled his lips and said seriously: "Sanniang, you can see clearly that what I teach these girls is the skills to make a living."

"If you do a good job with your underwear show tomorrow, Cuiweilou will become a huge hit soon. If you are willing to continue it next month, it will be a profitable business with no investment."

"No matter what, you won't suffer any loss."

"Hurry up and take the silver. I still have two tricks I haven't taught you yet. If you want the girls to learn them quickly, do it quickly."

He Sanniang's mouth twitched. Looking at Xia Mingyuan who was unwilling to suffer any loss, she gritted her teeth helplessly, took out three thousand taels of silver and handed it to Xia Mingyuan.

She has been running a brothel for many years, but she has never seen someone who is so unwilling to suffer any loss!

In the entire Cuiwei Tower, there are more than 40 courtesans, big and small, and almost all of them have taken off all their clothes for this guy to see.

I didn’t expect that not only did they get it for free, but Cuiweilou even paid for it!

This is really unreasonable!

A day passed in a flash.

The next night.

The Cuiwei Tower was packed.

The first lingerie show kicked off.

As soon as the show started, there was thunderous applause and cheers.

Many people even whistled.

Every guest who bought a ticket actually had a form in his hand, which recorded the numbers of the courtesans and the styles of their underwear.

Everyone can vote before leaving and choose their favorite one.

Xia Mingyuan was in the attic, looking at the cheerful crowd below, but he didn't notice that two figures emerged from a box nearby.

Soon, the two of them retreated stealthily.

"boom!"

In the box, Xia Xue, who was wearing a loose-sleeved robe and had her hair tied up, slammed the table suddenly, her face ashen.

"This bastard! Hanyang is a place of honesty and integrity. How dare he do something so immoral in public? It's ridiculous!"
