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

Xia Mingyuan gave some instructions and was about to leave the tailor shop.

At this moment, Chu Xinyue hesitated again and again, blushing and said, "My benefactor, please stay..."

Xia Mingyuan was slightly startled and turned around to look at Chu Xinyue in confusion.

"What? Is there anything else?"

Chu Xinyue gritted her teeth and said, "My benefactor, I was just too cautious and overly concerned before. Seeing that your offer was too high, I thought you had bad intentions."

"I can sew the clothes you mentioned..."

At this point, Chu Xinyue raised her head and said, "Don't worry, that silver won't be enough to buy too much cloth. At most, it will only take ten taels of silver."

"So you can do it." Xia Mingyuan burst into laughter upon hearing this. "That's great. It saves me from asking elsewhere."

As he spoke, he took out the blueprint from his arms and handed it to Chu Xinyue.

"Still follow the previous instructions. They must be sorted according to the sizes I provided. The price is still one hundred taels of silver."

Chu Xinyue was stunned for a moment and quickly shook her head to refuse.

Xia Mingyuan's face turned serious, and he said seriously: "This one hundred taels is not only for the cost of making clothes, but also for confidentiality."

"Confidentiality fee?" Chu Xinyue was confused when she heard this.

Xia Mingyuan cleared his throat. "The so-called confidentiality fee is the blueprints I gave you. You are not allowed to divulge them to anyone else. You are also not allowed to sew more clothes. These clothes must not be shown to anyone before I give you my permission."

Chu Xinyue nodded, not quite understanding, and Mrs. Zhang quickly patted her chest and assured her, "Master, don't worry, my mother and I will never leak any information about this dress."

"If you don't believe me, you can send someone here to watch."

Xia Mingyuan shook his head. "There's no need to watch. Just keep an eye on it."

"If you do this well, there will be more clothes for you in the future."

After saying that, Xia Mingyuan took out a silver note worth one hundred taels and handed it to Chu Xinyue.

Chu Xinyue was hesitating to accept it, and seeing this, Xia Mingyuan simply put it on the table and turned away.

At this moment, Pan Yue came riding a horse, holding a bag full of silver in his hand, his face darker than the bottom of a pot.

Throwing the silver to Xia Mingyuan, Pan Yue snorted coldly and rode away immediately.

Xia Mingyuan opened the bundle and was slightly stunned.

The silver that Pan Yue gave included broken silver and silver ingots, most of which were broken silver that was cut off on a daily basis.

Judging from the appearance, it took quite some time to save up these two hundred taels of silver.

After leaving the silver to Chu Xinyue, Xia Mingyuan walked on the road and suddenly ordered:

"Wang Gangyi, go to Hongbinlou and find the owner, Li Chun, and ask him to check on this Pan Yue."

"Could it be possible that I could actually knock out a righteous official today? Is there really such an official in Hanyang?"

Xia Mingyuan muttered something and soon arrived at Cuiwei Tower.

When He Sanniang, the madam of Cuiwei Tower, saw Xia Mingyuan, she came forward to greet him from afar.

"Oh, Master Xia, I was wondering why the magpies kept chirping today. It seems like a distinguished guest has arrived. I wonder why you've come this time..."

Seeing that Zhao Hongying was not with Xia Mingyuan, He Sanniang blinked at him with an expression that said you know what I mean.

Xia Mingyuan shook his head. "Sanniang, has Geng Ruhuai left?"

He Sanniang curled her lips upon hearing this and lowered her voice, "Master Xia, these two adults, once they come to our Cuiwei Tower, they will have to stay for at least three to five days."

"Last time, this guy stayed here for nearly half a month, causing our Cuiwei Tower's top courtesans to complain bitterly."

"Huh?" Xia Mingyuan was slightly startled. "Can this old guy be so powerful?"

"Hmph, him?" He Sanniang sneered, "He's just a silver spear and a candlestick. He has a heart, but he's just a trembling material."

"But he's not good at it and loves to play around, and he always blames the girls from Cuiwei Tower."

Xia Mingyuan smiled and nodded, without further discussion on this topic. "Sanniang, let's find a place where we can talk. I have something to tell you."

"Okay! Please come in."

He Sanniang invited Xia Mingyuan into the room and couldn't help but say, "Master Xia, Geng Ruhuai suffered a loss at your hands yesterday. You bastard took out your anger on us courtesans. It really made life difficult for those girls."

Xia Mingyuan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Sanniang, since this matter is caused by me, then you can first pay some money to buy some medicine and supplements for these courtesans. I will repay you later. Just consider it a good relationship for me."

"Oh, this is unacceptable." He Sanniang shook her head like a rattle. "Master Xia, that's not what I meant. We in Cuiwei Tower have already paid these courtesans money. How can we ask for your money?"

"Sir, why are you here today?"

He Sanniang made a few polite remarks and then took the initiative to turn the topic to business.

Xia Mingyuan's expression became more serious. "Sanniang, I want to know, which of the courtesans does Geng Ruhuai like the most?"

He Sanniang was slightly startled, and said without hesitation: "This Geng Ruhuai is a reincarnated pervert. He falls in love with every courtesan in Cuiwei Tower, but if you ask who he likes most recently, it must be Shuiyue."

"Shuiyue..." Xia Mingyuan muttered the name for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "How old is Shuiyue? Can you bring her out to see me?"

"Sir, Shuiyue just came to my Cuiwei Tower not long ago... Her beauty is considered superior among all the courtesans. Since she has been here for a short time, she hasn't seen any bleeding yet."

"Geng Ruhuai originally wanted to take advantage of her, but unfortunately, Shuiyue had her period recently and had unbearable abdominal pain. She is currently resting."

"If you want her, you'll have to wait a few days."

Hearing this, Xia Mingyuan couldn't help but chuckle, waved his hand and said: "Sanniang, I'm afraid you misunderstood."

"Well, call Shuiyue over here. I have something to tell her."

He Sanniang heard this and stood up without saying anything else. "Master, please wait a moment. I'll call her over."

Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the house.

Xia Mingyuan raised his head and saw a tall woman with fair skin walking into the house.

The woman had a delicate oval face, almond-shaped eyes, and black hair tied up in a bun. She looked like the daughter of a wealthy family.

After entering the house, the woman gently covered her abdomen and came to Xia Mingyuan with a frown.

"This slave has met Master Xia."

Xia Mingyuan came back to his senses and pointed at the chair in front of him, "Miss Shuiyue, right? No need to be polite, sit down and talk."

As he spoke, Xia Mingyuan poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.

"If you're not feeling well, it's best to drink more hot water."

When Miss Shuiyue heard this, she was slightly startled and quickly took the teacup with both hands.

"I would like to thank you, Master."
