Ramie Village was bustling.
The last time the entire village held a banquet like this was during the bumper harvest last autumn.
This time, it was not to celebrate the harvest, but to express gratitude and respect to Qin Yu, a foreign merchant.
Firstly, Qin Yu had come from under the feet of the emperor of Great Zhou. He had a noble status and was generous. He distributed copper coins to the children in the village and spent a lot of money on Xi Shi. This heroic spirit made the villagers admire him.
Secondly, Qin Yu brought the waterwheel irrigation technique so that the villagers did not have to carry water buckets by buckets, ensuring the yield of this year's autumn harvest.
In an agricultural society, the harvest of crops was very important. If the harvest was not good, one could only starve and even cause famine.
The Village Chief (Village Chief) of Ramie Vine Village, Elder Shi, was in charge of hosting this banquet. Elder Shi was the most senior member of the older generation in Ramie Vine Village.
"Young Master Qin, it's a blessing for our hundreds of families that you're able to come to our Ramie Village. If it wasn't for the waterwheel you built, I'm afraid that many villagers would have to starve to survive this winter.”The eighty year old Shi Lao sincerely expressed his gratitude to Qin Yu.
"Shi Lizheng, you're too polite. It's just a small matter. I'm very pleased to be able to help you.”After Qin Yu says this, Xi Shi, who is beside him, pours a cup of rice wine for him. The two of them are now almost inseparable.
Qin Yu picked up the rice wine and toasted to Old Shi. They chatted happily.
The village banquet was in full swing and was extremely lively.
Ten or so large tables were placed in the open space at the village entrance. Women brought all kinds of fruits and dishes from their homes. Men sat at the banquet, eating, drinking, and toasting. Children came and went, chasing and playing. There were also many unmarried girls hiding behind the bushes, secretly watching Qin Yu. The girls joked with each other and emitted waves of tender laughter.
"Yi Guang, I remember that last year at the village banquet, you danced for everyone. Why don't you dance for Young Master Qin now?”Li Zheng Shi Lao said to Xi Shi with a smile.
Xi Shi blushed.
"Old great grandfather, don't make fun of Yi Guang. I was jumping around, if I jump out now, young master will laugh at me.”Xi Shi said shyly.
Qin Yu was rather interested. He asked."Yi Guang, so you know how to dance?”
"Yi Guang has never learned to dance." "I'm always thinking about it by the stream when I have nothing to do," Xi Shi replied embarrassedly.”
"I think you dance well, just like your singing. It's self-taught and ethereal.”When Qin Yu first met Xi Shi, he was attracted by her voice.
"May I have the honor to admire your dance?”Qin Yu smiled and asked.
The villagers also began to jeer.
"Yi Guang, dance for Young Master Qin and let everyone help liven things up.”
Xi Shi could not stand everyone's jeering. She slowly walked to the center of the banquet and said to Qin Yu."Young master, if Yi Guang doesn't dance well, don't laugh at him.”
"Yi Guang, I think you look good no matter how you dance.”Qin Yu encouraged her. After all, Xi Shi's figure was very beautiful and she was a natural dancer.
Xi Shi lowered her head and smiled. After two or three breaths of silence, she began her impromptu dance.
Her body was like a silk ribbon, soft and boneless, light and graceful.
Although her steps and movements were not well-organized, they showed the tenderness of a woman.
Qin Yu applauds and gives Xi Shi great encouragement.
However, Qin Yu noticed a detail, a very interesting detail.
That was, Xi Shi's dance was a little mischievous. She did not dare to let go of her body, especially her feet, which seemed to be hidden under her skirt.
Qin Yu remembered that in historical records, Xi Shi had a pair of big feet. Therefore, she liked to wear long dresses to cover her feet. When she danced, she also tried to reduce the movement of her feet as much as possible.
Now that he has seen Xi Shi's dance with his own eyes, Qin Yu feels that this record might be true.
However, Qin Yu does not care. His feet are also very beautiful. Moreover, no matter how big they are, they will not go anywhere.
Qin Yu's expression was calm and collected. He continued to applaud and cheer for Xi Shi.
The villagers were also enthusiastic and cheered loudly.
At this moment, the other girls in the village also ran into the center of the banquet. They followed Xi Shi's footsteps and jumped up together. It was a beautiful scene.
"Why don't I see Zheng Dan? Someone go and call him over to perform a sword dance for Young Master Qin.”Li Zhengshi said to the villagers.
The villagers also reacted and said,"That's right. We should have asked Zheng Dan to come over. This girl knows how to dance with the sword.”
"Old Man Zheng, quickly go home and call your daughter over to liven things up for Young Master Qin.”
Old Man Zheng immediately left and went home to call Zheng Dan.
Hearing the two words Zheng Dan, Qin Yu finally remembered her.
Zheng Dan was also a great beauty in Yue Country. According to historical records, she lived in the East Village of Zhuluo Village, while Xi Shi lived in the West Village of Zhuluo Village. Both of them were given to Fu Chai, the King of Wu, as concubines.
Zheng Dan's beauty was not inferior to Xi Shi's, and Zheng Dan's temperament was strong.
At this moment, the Beauty System reacted.
"Great Master, congratulations on unlocking the side mission: Save Zheng Dan, this woman will be sad and angry lonely in Gusu Taiwan in the future, hope master to save her.”
As soon as the system finished speaking, a side mission appeared beside Xi Shi's main mission.
Moreover, next to Xi Shi's beauty painting, there is also Zheng Dan's beauty painting. However, Zheng Dan's beauty painting is currently grey. Qin Yu needs to see her in person before it can be turned into a colored painting.
Qin Yu was very much looking forward to seeing Zheng Dan, this beauty who had the "Silk-washing Twin Beauties" with Xi Shi.
"I wonder what kind of buff Zheng Dan will bring.”Qin Yu was somewhat looking forward to it. While admiring Xi Shi's dance, he was waiting for Zheng Dan's arrival.
As Qin Yu cheered and encouraged her, Xi Shi became more and more confident. Her dance steps became more and more beautiful and natural.
At the same time, the intimacy between her and Qin Yu was also slowly rising. It had risen from 30 to 37.
……
At this time, Old Man Zheng had already returned home. When he saw his daughter, Zheng Dan, still quietly cooking, he said,
"Girl, why are you still in the mood to cook? Hurry up and go to the village banquet. Young Master Qin and the others are waiting to see you dance with your sword.”
Zheng Dan was indifferent. He added a handful of firewood to the stove and said with some disappointment,"Father, I can't go."
"Why?" Old Man Zheng could be said to be very puzzled.
