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

The corner of Xia Mingyuan's mouth twitched, and he looked at Zhao Hongying with a serious expression, and his old face couldn't help but blush.

"Hongying, I, Xia Mingyuan, am not that kind of person!"

"I sold this thing in the brothel for a reason."

Zhao Hongying hugged her shoulders with her hands, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, staring at Xia Mingyuan with a smile.

"Then please ask my husband to tell me what this means."

Xia Mingyuan cleared his throat and said seriously, "Hongying, let these courtesans in the brothel try these underwear on first. The most important thing is to use their identities to promote the product!"

"If we were to open a clothing shop with these things, who among the common people would dare to be the first to buy them home and try them on? If anyone really dared to buy them, they would be drowned in spit."

"And if these prostitutes were the first to wear it, who do you think would be the happiest?"

Zhao Hongying blushed and subconsciously said, "Wearing such immoral clothes like yours will naturally be the favorite of the men who come to Cuiweixuan."

Snapped!

Xia Mingyuan snapped his fingers and nodded with a smile.

"Your answer is correct. I'll find a tailor later and give you a set as a reward."

Zhao Hongying's face turned even redder, and she muttered softly, "This girl doesn't want such obscene things."

Xia Mingyuan ignored her and continued to talk: "As long as these men like it, we don't need to find anyone to promote it. It won't be long before this underwear is known throughout the city."

"By then, our advertising will have worked. I'm planning to make some of this underwear into limited-edition luxury goods, specifically for wealthy ladies. Then, with hunger marketing, we can reap a lot of profits."

Zhao Hongying frowned and looked at Xia Mingyuan in confusion.

He could understand what Xia Mingyuan said earlier about free publicity to popularize it to everyone in the city, but when it came to the later part, it was like a mystery.

Seeing Zhao Hongying's confusion, Xia Mingyuan smiled and shook his head, "Hongying, I will explain these things to you later."

"I can't explain it clearly here right now."

While the two were talking, He Sanniang returned to the private room with the banknotes.

"Sir, this is two thousand taels of silver. We at Cuiweixuan will pay you a deposit first."

"We don't usually have much cash here, so please don't think it's too little."

As He Sanniang spoke, she stuffed the banknotes into Xia Mingyuan's arms.

Xia Mingyuan nodded and took the note. Two thousand taels was within his expectations. The people at Cuiweixuan were quite sincere.

He didn't count the banknotes, but put them directly into his arms and looked He Sanniang up and down.

"Sanniang, aren't you afraid that I won't send you clothes after I take the money?"

"Oh, my Mr. Xia, what are you saying? You are slapping me in the face." He Sanniang slapped her thigh with a look of panic.

"If I still don't trust you with these two thousand taels of silver, then there's no need for us to open Cuiweixuan for business. We should all go home and take care of our children."

Xia Mingyuan nodded slightly, glanced at He Sanniang, and said nothing more.

Although He Sanniang was polite in her words, she naturally had her own plans in mind.

Xia Mingyuan is from the princess's mansion, and he might even be a member of the royal family!

How could he cheat a brothel owner like her for two thousand taels of silver?

If someone really wants money, Cuiweixuan would rush to give gifts and want to give away the two thousand taels of silver, but I'm afraid it won't be able to find a way.

Leaving the private room, Zhao Hongying frowned slightly. "It shouldn't cost much to make these clothes. Did He Sanniang give too much?"

Xia Mingyuan shook his head and chuckled, "Hongying, business matters are sometimes not as simple as you think."

"Two thousand taels of silver for a few pieces of underwear does sound like a lot, but you have to remember that the easier it is to get something, the less people will value it."

"If Cuiweixuan doesn't spend some money, how can He Sanniang put in the effort to put on a successful lingerie show to attract more customers?"

"Besides, every time we sell something here, we get a commission. All in all, Cuiweixuan won't lose money. Instead, it will make a fortune."

Listening to Xia Mingyuan's explanation, Zhao Hongying nodded as if she understood.

The two of them walked downstairs and were about to leave Cuiweixuan.

"Hey, hey, hey, the one in red, stop right there!"

Just then, a drunken voice suddenly came from the second floor.

Xia Mingyuan and Zhao Hongying frowned and looked upstairs following the sound.

Geng Ruhuai poked his head out from upstairs, staring at Zhao Hongying with lustful eyes and rubbing his hands excitedly.

He didn't expect that he would meet such a stunning beauty in Cuiwei Tower just when he went out to relieve himself.

Compared with the stunning beauty in red before him, the courtesans in Cuiwei Tower were simply weaklings.

For a moment, Geng Ruhuai became very lustful and immediately ran down from upstairs without caring about his identity.

Xia Mingyuan's face turned grim, and he shook his head at Zhao Hongying. "He's probably a drunk. Let's go. There's no point in getting involved with him."

Zhao Hongying turned around and glared at Geng Ruhuai, and was about to leave with Xia Mingyuan.

Geng Ruhuai stood in front of her, looked Zhao Hongying up and down with lustful eyes, and couldn't help swallowing.

"Miss, what are you in such a hurry for?"

"Grandpa, I've reserved the entire Cuiwei Tower for today. Please go upstairs and accompany me."

As Geng Ruhuai spoke, he was about to reach out to grab Zhao Hongying's wrist.

Zhao Hongying's face suddenly turned gloomy, and she pushed Geng Ruhuai aside without mercy.

"Get out of here! I'm in a good mood today. Don't force me to do anything!"

"Oh!" Geng Ruhuai staggered after being pushed, but he didn't laugh angrily. Instead, he clapped his hands happily, "Great! I didn't expect you to be such a hottie. I like beauties like you."

"Don't worry, follow me. I will never treat you unfairly!"

Geng Ruhuai said this, shouting at the top of his voice: "Madam, where the hell is the madam? Hurry and get over here!"

As soon as the voice like a broken gong opened, He Sanniang, who was busy on the second floor, was startled and hurried downstairs.

When he saw Geng Ruhuai, his face turned pale.

"Master Geng, why did you come downstairs? If you have anything to say, just tell me. What's wrong with you girls? You are all blind. How can you serve Master Geng?"

Geng Ruhuai snorted coldly and interrupted He Sanniang, "Madam, is this how you do business at Cuiwei Tower?"

"Lord Sun and I paid a huge price to book this place and had all the beautiful courtesans come to my box, and yet you actually gave me a golden house to hide my beautiful daughter."

"This delicate beauty is actually with someone else, what's going on?"

"Do you think that I, Grandpa, will owe you money?"
