Chapter 91 has a very simple requirement.
During the Hongwu reign.
The economy is recovering quickly... at least in this world, it's recovering very quickly.
They even have silver notes worth tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of taels.
There's also the "Tongbao Money Shop," a bank with hundreds of branches...
Compared to real history, it's really quite bizarre.
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had only recently abolished the position of prime minister at this point in history, yet the Ming Dynasty already had a cabinet and a chief minister...
Yingchun Tower in Yangzhou Prefecture.
As soon as Qi Ming entered the shop, a madam greeted him warmly, "Sir, do you have a lover?"
Qi Ming snorted: "Do your girls only cater to regular customers? I don't have any lovers here. I'd like to ask if you have any virgins who haven't been taken advantage of yet?"
Seeing that he had his hair tied up with a golden crown and was dressed in a magnificent long robe, the madam quickly revealed her secret:
"There is a young lady named Qing'er who has just arrived and is looking for a wealthy man to marry her."
Qi Ming smiled and asked, "How much silver?"
The madam raised her hand and laughed, "Ten thousand."
Fuck you!
Inflation is terrible!
Ximen Da Guanren's hairdressing of Li Guijie only cost fifty taels...
However, considering that the female protagonist of the "Reign of Assassins" world, "Xi Yu," retired from the martial arts world with 80 taels of silver and opened a cloth stall, it's not surprising.
"Ten thousand it is!"
Qi Ming took out a silver note and stuffed it into the madam's hand...
last night.
He took 200,000 taels from the main branch of "Tongbao Money Shop" in Jinling.
That's definitely a bit much.
But their bank manager, Zhang Dajing, was willing to offer a reward of 100,000 taels of gold and 1 million taels of silver in exchange for the "remains of Rama" that could "repair his injuries." So, a mere 200,000 taels for his life was an extremely cheap price!
The madam, greedy for money, quickly had Qi Ming taken upstairs.
Inside the embroidered chamber.
Upon seeing Qi Ming, Miss Qing'er's eyes lit up, but she feigned shyness, first blushing and curtsying, then speaking in a voice barely audible:
"Qing'er greets Master."
Her name is Ye Zhanqing.
She used to be a commoner girl.
Because her husband was "imperfect" on their wedding night, she killed her husband and his parents.
He was later targeted by the "Black Stone" organization. On the night before his execution, he was given a dose of "turtle breath powder" and successfully escaped with his life.
Afterwards, he followed the "Black Stone" boss, Wheel King, to learn swordsmanship and became an assassin.
Now that he has mastered his craft and descended the mountain, he comes to the brothel to make offerings out of his desire for such things.
"Don't call me 'Grandpa,' call me 'Dad'!"
As Qi Ming spoke, he sat down on her "wedding bed" and gave instructions with a smile:
"Father, I've traveled a long way and my legs are sore. Could you fetch a bucket of hot water and give me a foot massage?"
After all, it's the first time!
Therefore, it needs to have a sense of ceremony, and the embroidery room on the third floor is decorated like a wedding room.
"You want me to call you 'Dad'? If you don't satisfy me later, even if you call me 'Mom' or 'Grandma,' you'll still die!"
Ye Zhanqing inwardly grumbled, but outwardly remained obedient, replying, "Yes, Father!"
Then, like a dutiful wife, she fetched water for Qi Ming and massaged his feet.
In her eyes, Qi Ming's steps were unsteady, he didn't know martial arts, and he was just a nouveau riche.
She wasn't afraid at all!
As for whether he's handsome or not... that's not important.
Many people believe that as long as the model is good, you can succeed in everything... This statement is not wrong, but it is indeed one-sided.
Because the standard of being handsome is quite subjective, and this subjectivity is in the hands of the other person.
So to put it more comprehensively, it's because she thinks you're handsome that you're able to get the food.
Once she gets tired of you and you've won her over, you might not be as handsome anymore.
Ye Zhanqing asked, "Father, are you done yet?"
Qi Ming laughed and said, "Alright, go take a bath too, then come to the bridal chamber."
Ye Zhanqing retorted, "I've already washed!"
"and you……"
"The night is too short! If you have other matters to attend to, please do so tomorrow. Tonight, you must stay with Qing'er."
"Who's your husband? Don't call me that."
"Daddy~"
If Ye Zhanqing's hair were as red as her wedding dress, she might be able to unleash a wave of killing intent right now.
But soon, after seeing Qi Ming's powerful performance, she lost her killing intent!
At least not now!
Her eyes were misty as she said, "Oh... this feeling... Darling, you must marry me someday, take me home, take me far away..."
Qi Ming slapped him: "I'm a wanderer, I can't marry you, so you can stay here and continue being a little slut!"
Ye Zhanqing cried out, "No, I won't be a harlot! I want to follow you, to roam the world with you!"
"What about your family?"
"I have no family... I've fallen into prostitution, where would I have any family left but you, Father?"
"real?"
"Qing'er swears to heaven that she has never lied to her father."
"Alright, Father, I've recently made a fortune and am ready to settle down and build a life here. I need to rest for a while, so come back with me!"
"Thank you, Father!"
"..."
King Yama is very popular.
His former female disciple, Xiyu, also liked him.
But because he didn't do *that*, she left him afterwards.
Leafy green leaves, a substitute for drizzle, are even more straightforward.
After discovering he had no penis, she not only wanted to leave him, but also looked down on him.
Enraged, he buried him alive under the stone bridge.
and so.
King Yama's request was simple: he wanted to be a man again.
Ye Zhanqing's requirements were simple: she wanted to find a man she liked who was also very capable.
Therefore, it is fitting that audiences jokingly refer to this film as a journey to find one's roots.
The next day.
Qi Ming bought a small courtyard house by the canal and brought Ye Zhanqing there.
He then forcibly acquired a herbal medicine shop, became a doctor, and sold ginseng pills.
A month later, it received rave reviews.
That afternoon.
A beautiful woman came to see the doctor, and seeing that Qi Ming was indeed as handsome as the legends said, she couldn't help but go mad and exclaimed:
"Doctor, I feel so bad, please help me!"
Qi Ming said in a serious tone, "Madam, please tell me more clearly where you feel unwell so that I can prescribe the right medicine."
"My husband went on a long trip, and I've been widowed for over ten days now. I feel terrible all over."
"So, what exactly is the part that bothers you the most?"
"Sometimes it's in my heart, sometimes it's here, but most of the time it's here. How can I cure it?"
"That's putting me in a difficult position."
"That's why I came to you! My dear doctor, please treat me! If you can cure me, I'll give you five thousand taels of silver as a consultation fee."
"Alright, come with me."
"..."
Inner courtyard, west wing.
"You two are completely useless!"
After giving the woman and her maid a few casual treatments and offering his assessment, Qi Ming called out to the main room, "Qing'er, come here quickly!"
Ye Zhanqing, who was originally filled with murderous intent, temporarily returned to normal after hearing these words and walked away with a smile.
Clearly, she hasn't had enough after only a month.
Upon entering the west wing, she saw the master and servant on the floor, who were also curiously observing her.
Big eyes meet small eyes.
"You bitch, what are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Ye Zhanqing didn't want to make a move on Qi Ming, this good toy, but she had no scruples about this woman.
Qi Ming sat in the armchair and shouted at Ye Zhanqing:
"What are you standing there for? Come here!"
