The Ming Dynasty.
Located in Yushui City, which borders the Song and Tang Dynasties.
Although it is a small border town, small places often have a stronger sense of local life.
At this hour of Chen (7-9 AM), there were already quite a few people on the street, some carrying breakfast back to their parents' homes, and others sitting at roadside stalls eating while it was still hot.
The sounds of vendors hawking their wares added a touch of liveliness to the early morning.
On the street, a man carrying a vegetable basket walked out from this street corner.
The man appeared to be just over twenty years old. Although he wore only a simple blue robe, his tall, slender figure and handsome features gave him an extraordinary air.
He walked with a somewhat lazy air about him.
Upon seeing the man on the street, the vegetable vendors and the older women selling vegetables all had their eyes light up and quickly surrounded him.
The already noisy street became even noisier as the middle-aged women swarmed in.
Occasionally, words like "eating," "son-in-law," and "matchmaker" would faintly reach the ears of those around them.
.........
Seeing the middle-aged women who quickly surrounded Chu Qinghe in an instant, the old bachelors and young unmarried men on the street were filled with envy.
The former envied Chu Qinghe for having so many middle-aged women surrounding him at this moment.
The latter envied the fact that the middle-aged women around Chu Qinghe were constantly trying to sell their daughters to him.
A customer sitting at the stall sighed, "You really can't compare people. Look at us, we're almost thirty and we still have to give that matchmaker Wang a sum of money before she'll even agree to find someone. Unlike Chu Qinghe, every time he goes out on the street, these middle-aged women flock to him like cats smelling fish."
As the voice faded, a man beside him said with a wry smile, "How can you compare? We're penniless, desperately poor in the morning, and our house is drafty at night. Chu Qinghe, though his parents died early, is ambitious. Half a year ago, somehow he suddenly opened several rouge shops and became very successful, making a fortune every day. After that, he sold the shops to the Iron Fist Sect and made some money. Half a year ago, he sold his old house and rebuilt a new one. Not to mention, Chu Qinghe is so handsome. There are countless girls in the city who are after him."
After exchanging a glance, the two both sighed deeply.
Looking at Chu Qinghe in the distance, the envy in her eyes almost overflowed.
...
However, just then, a noisy sound suddenly came from afar.
"The Green Snake Gang is on a mission, get out of here."
Attracted by the sound, Chu Qinghe's gaze also shifted to the direction of the street.
In sight, a group of people dressed in matching outfits, each carrying a weapon, walked past from the street corner with fierce expressions.
Along the way, pedestrians on the street hurriedly avoided the Green Snake Gang members as if they were in a hurry.
Looking at these people, Chu Qinghe unconsciously frowned.
No one knew that at this moment, Chu Qinghe's body was already occupied by a different soul.
Six months ago, when Chu Qinghe first traveled through time, he thought he had traveled to a certain dynasty in history.
But after a few days, it turned out that this was not the case.
In this world, the five kingdoms of Qin, Tang, Song, Ming, and Yuan were rivals.
It also has countless small countries under its control.
In the Ming Dynasty court, Zhu Wushi, the Iron-Blooded Marquis, was known throughout the land for his loyalty, righteousness, and integrity. Cao Zhengchun and the Eastern Depot behind him were also feared by all.
In the martial arts world, there are veteran swordsmen like Xie Xiaofeng and Mu Daoren, as well as top-tier swordsmen of the younger generation like Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuixue, and Gai Nie.
The forces in the world are constantly intertwined, and no single word, "complex," can fully describe it.
Even Chu Qinghe was stunned for a long time after he realized the situation of this world.
In this vast land of Kyushu, the martial arts world and the imperial court have achieved a delicate symbiotic relationship.
Even in remote border towns like Yushui City, there are martial arts gangs like the Green Snake Gang and the Iron Sword Sect.
If one rashly provokes them, even the local county government might not dare to intervene.
If it were someone else, in such a world, they might still be ambitious, dreaming of becoming famous and making their mark on the world.
But for Chu Qinghe, such thoughts were completely unappealing.
In his previous life, Chu Qinghe was only in his early forties when he achieved great success in his career and gained both fame and fortune.
However, years of hard work took a toll on Chu Qinghe's health. Despite having considerable savings, he ultimately passed away in a VIP ward in the hospital, surrounded by a pile of cold machines.
Now that he has been given a second chance at life, Chu Qinghe's mindset has also undergone a tremendous change.
Nowadays, Chu Qinghe's thoughts are also very simple.
Slack off, do whatever's easiest.
As for dressing in fine clothes and riding spirited horses, indulging in the ways of the martial world, let's forget about that.
Outside of the blankets, everything is a foreign land.
After a short while, Chu Qinghe gently shook his head to suppress the inexplicable thoughts in his heart, and then quickly left after taking advantage of the fact that the attention of the middle-aged women around him had also been diverted.
It took Chu Qinghe almost fifteen minutes to successfully walk from one end of the street to the other.
With the siege of those middle-aged women gone, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This enthusiasm is so intense it's making me uneasy!
After letting out a soft breath, Chu Qinghe also gave a wry smile.
No matter when or where, once an older woman gets enthusiastic, it's always hard to resist.
