Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

The Great Zhou Dynasty did not have such strict requirements on sex separation, and it was common for unmarried men and women to meet before marriage. It was not uncommon for a couple to entertain guests together, but it was usually held at home or at a banquet. It was unprecedented for a couple to entertain guests together in such a place.

Although Ye Xi thought the man was good-looking, she was married, so she chose to date her husband instead of admiring his beauty. But she couldn't resist her husband's arrangement, and she had to give him enough face outside, so she could only accept her fate.

I thought Yang Jian would refuse, but unexpectedly he said, "Then I'd rather obey than be polite." Then he sat down across from their table.

Unexpectedly, the three of them had just sat down when Pei Zhu's hard dishes were served. The timing was just right. Pei Zhu asked the waiter to bring two more pots of wine, but he changed it to strong liquor that men like to drink. He and Yang Jian chatted while eating, and occasionally had a few drinks. Ye Xi listened to them talking about business matters, and did not dare to interrupt. It seemed that they had not yet started a serious cooperation, and now they were just testing each other. Ye Xi muttered, it's not even time to do anything, but they have to socialize. I don't know if Pei Zhu will end up making wedding clothes for others by doing so much.

Ye Xi ate silently, and suddenly there was singing and music on the first floor. She was shocked. It started! She was closest to the railing, so she could see the singing and dancing on the first floor very clearly. However, her position was not good, so she could only watch from the side. Even so, she was very happy. She didn't expect that the singing and dancing in ancient times were actually very good, especially that there were wires to hang people in the air. The dancer who was hung in the air continued to dance in the air. Ye Xi finally understood why there were so many hollow layers, otherwise it would be impossible to hang people so high.

This scene reminded her of a very famous modern dance.

"Flying."

She whispered unconsciously. Pei Zhu didn't notice it, but Yang Jian heard it and suddenly asked, "Is this the dance that your wife is commenting on?"

Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Yang Jian, wondering how to explain what she had just said if she didn't admit it, so she nodded. Yang Jian glanced at the dancer spinning in the air, then said, "It does have the meaning of 'flying to the sky', your Madam is right."

Pei Zhu finally understood after hearing this, and glanced at the dancer in the air, nodding in agreement. Then he said, "Since we have met Young Master Yang today, it would be wrong to talk about business. Let's just enjoy the singing and dancing."

Yang Jian didn't object, and the three of them quietly enjoyed the singing and dancing. Suddenly, Ye Xi tugged at Pei Zhu's sleeves as if no one was around, pointed at one of them and said, "My husband, look at that dancer, she's so beautiful."

Pei Zhu agreed with her words: "She is very beautiful, but still not as beautiful as Xi Niang." These words made Ye Xi very happy. It didn't matter whether it was true or not. What mattered was that these words maximized the emotional value.

"Pity."

Pei Zhu raised an eyebrow: "What a pity?"

"It's a pity that it doesn't grow on my face." Ye Xi said coquettishly, covering her cheek with one hand. After that, she snuggled up to Pei Zhu and smiled at him.

Pei Zhu blushed, mainly because he had never seen such a playful Ye Xi. He thought of Yang Jian still there, coughed lightly, and gently pushed Ye Xi, hinting that there was someone else around. Ye Xi then remembered that there was someone she didn't know well in front of her. She was so absorbed in watching the dance that she had forgotten about this person. She felt embarrassed and socially awkward.

Pei Zhu and Yang Jian both thought that Ye Xi's "what a pity" meant that such a beautiful dancer had fallen into such a prostitute's place. They did not expect such a reply to appear, which was quite surprising.
