From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 705

All the people in the village were heading towards Xiangshui Village. In addition to the Miao people, there were also Yi people and Dong people.

"This is the inevitable result of living together."

Ye Qingying whispered: "There are many Miao people and Yi people in Shuixi, and there are also many Dong people. Living together for a long time, ethnic customs will gradually blend, and eventually such a large-scale festival will be formed."

"For example, the most important festival of the Miao people is not the Mountain Flower Festival. The Miao New Year, the Lusheng Festival, and the Dragon Boat Race are all more grand."

"But because other ethnic groups also live here, festivals with strong ethnic styles will decline, while festivals with less ethnic styles will attract people from all ethnic groups to participate."

They walked in an inconspicuous place among the crowd, carefully planning the actions of this Mountain Flower Festival.

Ye Qingying continued, "Singing, dancing, and some competition-type activities do not have ethnic barriers. Everyone likes them. More importantly, this kind of social activity can help you find a partner, so everyone will definitely participate."

"So the importance of the Mountain Flower Festival in recent decades is self-evident."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "With the rebellion of the chieftain, the Miao soldiers have rarely returned to the village in recent years. They have been suffocated for a long time, so this Mountain Flower Festival, they can't wait to find a partner."

Ye Qingying nodded and said, "Because of this, this Mountain Flower Festival can be said to be the most grand Mountain Flower Festival in Shuixi in decades, with hundreds of thousands of people gathering together."

"Dancing, playing the reed pipe, dancing the flower dance, horse racing, archery, singing. Climbing the flower pole, countless events, almost everyone can participate."

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but say, "Fortunately, there is Cai Ni, otherwise I might have to participate in person and be a popular brother."

"Not true."

Ye Qingying said, "With your singing voice, you are basically out of luck with being popular."

Is there anyone who talks like you?

Zhou Yuan came over and whispered, "Why don't you join in and find a good brother, and just live in Shuixi."

Ye Qingying shook her head and said, "You think too much. Although I didn't become a monk with my master, I never thought about finding a man. I want to be a woman like Zhuang Sizhu, serving the country and doing great things."

"After so many years, my resume is almost enough. After the successful completion of this southwest mission, I can be stationed in Beijing and enter the core department."

"Zhuang Sizhu also promised me that I will take over her job in the future."

Look, our second sister is a typical workplace fool, energetic and capable, but without brains.

The Inner Court is the core power of the emperor. Does Zhuang Xuansu's words count? She draws a pie for you that she can't give herself, and you foolishly take it seriously?

At that time, I still have to go to the eldest sister to blow your pillow wind to let you continue to be promoted.

All the way to Xiangshui Village, people from various villages gradually converged, and Zhou Yuan already felt this lively atmosphere.

There were noises everywhere, greetings everywhere, brothers were shouting, and some anxious sisters couldn't help singing.

The flower field has been completely spread out, right on the most famous beach of Xiangshui Village, the flat land is covered with not very tall green grass, and countless flower stalks stand everywhere.

Each major village guards the flower stalks of its own village, gathering together, so although there are many people and it is lively, there is no chaos.

It is getting dark.

Tomorrow is the official Mountain Flower Festival.

Countless people lit fires and torches here, sat around the fire, sang and danced, making it very lively.

"This is really interesting."

Zhou Yuan looked at the lively scene and said, "A bonfire dance like this is a bit inclined to the customs of the Yi people, and it is even integrated into the Mountain Flower Festival?"

Ye Qingying said, "It's like this. Shuixi stretches for hundreds of miles, and many villages cannot be reached on the same day, so we arrived here one day in advance."

"With so many people gathered together, we can't just do nothing, so the Yi people lit the bonfire, and everyone followed suit and danced."

Zhou Yuan pulled her up and smiled, "Everyone is dancing, why are we standing there like an idiot? It's been a whole night, let's go, go, go."

"Hey, don't..."

Ye Qingying was forcibly pulled up by him, and joined the big circle, holding hands and began to dance.

Because it was too noisy, Zhou Yuan had to speak loudly: "Look, since we are here, of course we have to participate in this kind of festival, it's so interesting."

"I don't like such a noisy atmosphere."

Ye Qingying's rebuttal was somewhat weak, because the firelight shone on her face, and she was clearly smiling, much happier than before.

Zhou Yuan said: "Second Senior Sister, when this place becomes better in the future, we will have no tasks, and it will be great to come and participate in these festivals happily."

Ye Qingying pouted and said: "Anyway, I will come back to see"You're going to come back to see me, so I'll definitely accompany you." "What's our relationship? You want to accompany me?" Ye Qingying said this and immediately regretted it. She felt her heartbeat quicken. Zhou Yuan was also stunned. It seems that singing and dancing are really good things. After being infected, people will become emotional and bold. Even a cold and irritable woman like the second senior sister will say some ambiguous words. Zhou Yuan pinched her hand and smiled, "What kind of relationship do you want between us, the second senior sister?" "Pah!" Ye Qingying said, "Of course it's a senior sister and a disciple relationship. If you dare to think about it, I won't forgive you." Zhou Yuan said, "But the second senior sister, I saw you in the Baihua Pavilion in Yunzhou..." Ye Qingying looked at him in horror and glared, "Are you done yet? You're going to eat me up for the rest of my life just for this matter! "

While the two chatted, there was a small team in the corner, singing and dancing, and it was also very lively.

Wugu Village is very small, with only more than 30 households, and the place where they live is relatively remote and the journey is long, so not many people come, only about 40 or 50 people.

Xiaoying and Guan Caixi held hands and said this while dancing.

"We will go to find brother later! Baihua Village is a big village, it's easy to find!"

Xiaoying's eyes were shining, and she was smiling while talking: "I don't know if my brother brought osmanthus cake, woo woo, I haven't eaten it for a long time. "

Guan Caixi's eyes darkened when she mentioned this. When she left Yangzhou, she bought hundreds of kilograms of this stuff. Xiaoying ate it all in less than three months.

This speed shocked Guan Caixi.

But she also looked around, looking at the figure she had longed for.

The moon came out, hanging brightly in the sky, casting thousands of silver rays, completely illuminating the beach of Xiangshui Village.

The Wumeng Mountains in the distance stretched endlessly, revealing a magnificent outline in the night and moonlight.

At the end of the flames, a middle-aged man looked at the young man in front of him quietly and whispered, "Kid, you really disappoint me."

"If you still can't find the Han spy at this Mountain Flower Festival, the tax of Huaixi Village will be doubled."

Shuizhou knelt on the ground, lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely find it!"
