Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

"We first heard the bad news half a month ago. We heard that the old lady had met with misfortune, and that the young lady's whereabouts were unknown. My mother was so sad and worried that she fell ill. Today, we can see that the young lady came to Yanmen safe and sound. My mother’s mental illness has finally been resolved.”

In Zhao Ji's shop, a middle-aged man looked at Xue Nu up and down. The surprise in his eyes was indescribable. He even ordered the servant to serve Yang Ming and Xue Nu two good tea and snacks. He was very enthusiastic.

He is the shopkeeper here, and his surname is Sima Mingxing. His mother and Xuenu's grandmother are half-sisters. However, Xuenu's grandmother is a direct descendant, while Sima Xing's mother is only a concubine.

Therefore, among the two of them, Xue Nu's grandmother married the clan of the Zhao Kingdom at that time, while her younger sister could only marry into a wealthy family in Yanmen County. Although her family background was good, compared with Xue Nu's family, it was inferior. It's far away.

Later, Xue Nu's grandmother opened a shop in Yanmen County. Thinking that her sister was not doing well, she asked her brother-in-law to become the shopkeeper here. Now, Sima Xing and his son inherited the father's business, and two generations of father and son are in charge of Yanmen County. The shop has been around for thirty years.

Xue Nu was also touched by Sima Xing's gratitude. After all, she was still a child. When she heard her relatives talk about their previous experiences, things that she didn't want to recall came to mind. The strength she had when she faced them alone was at this moment. There is a tendency to disintegrate.

Regarding her own experience, Xue Nu felt fear and grievance, but Yang Ming only had scrutiny.

Sima Xing is called the shopkeeper in this shop, but there are no supervisors sent by Xue Nu's grandmother around him, and he doesn't have to go to Wu'an County to report the market every year. In fact, he is no different from the owner.

What's more, this is the owner of two generations in the past thirty years. Under such circumstances, there is suddenly an additional owner. Will he really be as excited as he appears?

If he were in a different place, Yang Ming didn't think he would be as excited as Sima Xing. After being the master for thirty years, he would be demoted to the position of shopkeeper. Such a thing...

Yang Ming has deep suspicions about Sima Xing. Of course, Yang Ming has such suspicions, and it may be because his own psychology is too dark, but it is better to have a dark psychology than to be stupid and sweet.

"My benefactor rescued the young lady and sent her to Yanmen all the way. Sima Xing cannot repay this great kindness. Please accept Sima Xing's respect." Sima Xing knelt down and said to Yang Mingxing. The great gift of three hundred and nine kowtows.

Xue Nu opened her mouth as she looked at the scene in front of her. She felt that she should say something at this time, but before she could make a sound, Yang Ming's hand was already on her head.

Xue Nu, who was extremely familiar with Yang Ming's movements, instantly suppressed her impulse and chose to look at everything in front of her calmly.

"It's not a big favor. It's all just chance. Besides, for a beautiful child like Xue Nu, I certainly can't let her live alone in the wilderness." Yang Ming said plainly, but he was waiting for Sima Xing It is said after three bows and nine kowtows.

"To my benefactor, it may be just a trivial matter, but to us it is a matter of life and death." Sima Xing said sincerely.

"Please, please. I have asked the servants to prepare wine and food in the backyard so that the young lady can meet my mother. She has been worried about the young lady."

"That would be disrespectful." Yang Ming said with a smile.

"please."

After passing through the shops in the front yard and walking through the hall in the middle yard, under the guidance of Sima Xing, Yang Ming and Xue Nu walked through the corridor and arrived at the backyard, where Sima Xing's family lived.

In this era, being invited into one's own backyard must be a life-long friendship. From this point of view, there should be nothing false in Sima Xing's performance.

But when Yang Ming walked into the backyard, he grabbed Xue Nu's little hand immediately. Xue Nu looked at Yang Ming in surprise, with a wariness in her eyes.

"Please." Sima Xing stood in front of the hall in the backyard and asked Yang Ming.

"Please." Yang Ming pulled Xue Nu into the hall, where as expected, several food tables were covered with all kinds of delicacies and fine wines. From this point of view, Sima Xing did not seem to have any evil intentions.

The Snow Girl who walked into the hall naturally refused the seat arranged for her by Sima Xing, and instead nestled next to Yang Ming. She had received Yang Ming's hint just now. Although she didn't know what happened, it didn't matter. Preventing Xue Nu from listening to Yang Ming.

"The bitter cold land on the border of Yanmen County cannot be compared with Wu'an County, but it also has its own advantages. Cattle and sheep are common here, and the quality of beef and mutton is excellent." He sat down at the main seat. Sima Xing raised his wine glass and said.

"I've seen some things along the way. The taste is really good. However, what I like most is the wine here. Although it is not mellow, it is very strong and has a different taste. However, I have drunk a lot when I came here. I'm drunk, but I can't drink anymore. You'd better wait for me to take it easy." Yang Ming tipped his wine glass upside down on the food table and said.

"It's okay, it's okay, we can enjoy some singing and dancing first." Sima Xing said, stroking his hands.

As soon as Sima Xing finished speaking, three dancers led a group of musicians into the hall from the side door. They were all dressed in dance clothes unique to the northern part of the Zhao Kingdom. This kind of dance clothes combined Zhao people and Hu people. The most advantage of clothing is that it can show the beauty of the dancer's figure and temperament.

Especially the dancer who is the leader of the team is the most extraordinary, with green silk like willow catkins falling behind her, a delicate face, beautiful, as white as snow, exquisite and delicate, with tenderness flowing between her brows and eyes, but Yang Ming sees it. Got something different.

"Let's get started." Sima Xing said.

"No." In a response like a parrot's song, the three dancers started their dance.

Yang Ming didn't know much about things like dance, but this didn't stop him from appreciating the beautiful scenery in front of him. Dance was meant to show off the beauty. Yang Ming, who had his own understanding of beauty, could appreciate it from another angle. Understand the dance.

After the song, the singing and dancing stopped. Seeing Yang Ming's intoxicated expression, Sima Xing couldn't help but smile and said, "Yingge, pour some wine for our benefactor."

"Yes." The dancer who was called Yingge by Sima Xing walked towards Yang Ming with lotus steps. Under Yang Ming's expectant eyes, she knelt down beside Yang Ming and gently raised the hand with both hands. The jug pours wine into the wine cup.

Ying Ge's hands were extremely beautiful, with slender fingers and well-proportioned bones. He pinched the handle of the pot. The skin color on the back of his hand complemented the wine pot made of white porcelain. For a moment, Yang Ming couldn't even tell whether the white porcelain was more delicate or the white porcelain. The one with only one hand is more touching.

A line of wine pours out from the spout of the pot and falls into the wine cup. The wine falls into the wine cup and causes ripples.

What's even more wonderful is that following Yingge's movements, her gaze passed over Yang Ming's face seemingly affectionately and unintentionally. The trace of inadvertent amorous feelings blended with Yang Ming's gaze, making Yang Ming Ming was like the wine in a wine cup, with a layer of shallow ripples rippling in the lake of his heart.

Parrot song?
