Cross the doghouse to save Party A, Your Highness owes me ten mines

This mountain is famous and there are many pedestrians on the road, most of whom are young ladies who come to seek marriage. This is also the reason why people wear women's clothing in the summer.

They are all at the age of loving beauty.

So if a young lady holds a mirror wherever she goes to admire her beauty, it won’t seem too abrupt.

The small bronze mirror in the summer is actually a camera. Today, it is just covered with a shell. There is a miniature camera on the bronze mirror.

She dresses like this to make it easier for her to walk and take photos at any time, and it does not affect her immersive travel experience.

Have fun in summer time!

"Hey, young lady, where did you buy this bronze mirror?"

Suddenly a question was raised.

Xia Shi turned around and saw a group of beautifully dressed young ladies.

They all sighed:

"So clear, huh?"

"I can even see the tiniest details on the face clearly!"

"How much silver?"

"Which treasure pavilion is it in?"

"..."

Xia Shi: "I didn't buy it, it was given to me by a friend. But he is going to set up a workshop, so I think you will see it on the market soon..."

Look, look, business is coming.

(*?︶?*),

She really manages to balance fun and KPI. If the boss has her, he would wake up laughing in his dreams, right?

She has to write down everything in her work report next week so that her boss can give her a bonus and compensate her for all the money she spent.

She had spent all her money for her boss. The paper in Dongzhou was very expensive. She would have to make paper sooner or later.

"Oh, what a pity!" the young ladies sighed.

Xia Shi asked: "Why is it a pity? We will sell it in a while!" She has already planned that when she can buy the mountain behind, she will dig out the quartzite inside and start hammering it to make mirrors with metal filigree edging and jewelry inlays, going for the luxury route...

Young ladies: "It's a pity that we can't make it in time. It would be great if it could be used as a prize for our beauty pageant at the Liuxiang Ten Streets Conference this year."

Xia Shi asked: "What beauty pageant?"

"Girl, don't you know?"

The ladies gave Xia Shi a scientific introduction: "Liujie Shixiang is the most famous place in Qingzhou. There are community operas, storytelling in teahouses, acrobatics, opera troupes, music halls, and painting halls...

Every year at this time in autumn, all the people who make a living in the ten alleys of Liu Street will hold a beauty pageant together with the opera troupes and music halls. At that time, many people will come, and the tables will be full of guests. Not only will there be many small restaurants selling food, but even the chefs of the restaurants will be specially invited!"

"Wow, are they all girls?"

"There are also young masters. Our musicians, blue-clad warriors, are all young masters..."

Xia Shi: “Wow!”

She's going too.

She is going to participate in the ancient version of the talent show.

Moreover, she has been busy studying every day since she was a child, and she has never chased a star. She wants to chase one once in Dongzhou, take photos and check in, and then put them together with the scenery photos to make a Dongzhou travel wall with food, scenery, architecture, famous people, and idols.

(′??w??｀)

I quickly asked, "When will it be held?", hoping that the schedule would be during her vacation.

The young ladies said, "It's tonight. We came to this mountain specifically for the grand event tonight, to pray for good luck!"

"Wow!" She wants to go too!

"If you don't mind, why not join us!" the young ladies readily made the invitation.

"No problem, no problem!" Xia Shi made the decision immediately.

She dares to go anywhere, up to the clouds, down to the deep sea. Anyway, with thunder and fire by her side, she is invincible!

"What's the girl's name?"

"Peony, what about you?"

"My surname is Xia, um~Xia Shan!"

"Haha, what a great name!" The girls were from a troupe of opera singers, very generous. They used their stage names, while Xia Shi used a pseudonym.

We smiled at each other.

It's just a name.

"Let's go!"

"it is good!"

We started to go up the mountain together.

Soon we arrived at the temple gate. There was a gatekeeper at the gate. No matter who you were, the gatekeeper would ask:

"The girl is here to seek marriage, right?"

The ladies all answered yes.

Xia Shi: “…”, what should I do if I’m not looking for a marriage partner?

"Enjoy the view!" she said.

"Young lady, please!" The doorman was very kind, and Xia Shi entered smoothly, but she still bought a bunch of incense and candles, intending to put them in the God of Wealth Temple later.

First, she followed the young ladies to pray for marriage. They prayed sincerely. She was traveling around to enjoy the scenery and check in. Later, everyone followed her to the God of Wealth Temple, lit incense and candles, and had a vegetarian meal. Then they started to go back.

Xia Shi got on a favorable carriage, which entered Qingzhou City, went around and around, and finally arrived at the Ten Alleys of Liu Street.

It was already afternoon, and the ten alleys of Liu Street were decorated with lights and huge stages were set up.

Mudan said, "Miss, our meeting is fate. I have to attend this grand event and now I have to go to the back building to wash and dress. My seat is empty. It's at least a little closer to the front. Please sit there."

Xia Shi: "I'll give you a handkerchief, it smells good, put it in your sleeve, the scent is soft and gentle, full and deep, at first it smells like a light fragrance, then like a rose, and finally like white musk... I hope it helps you!"

"Wow!" Peony liked it as soon as she received it, and exclaimed: "How did you make it so elegant, not pungent, and lasting and refreshing...?"

Xia Shi: "...Hurry up, hurry up, it will be too late to dress up later!"

Mudan went to get dressed. Her seat was indeed near the front, directly in the first three. Xia Shi sat there happily.

Waiting for the event to begin.

It was not until night fell that the festival really began, with lanterns and ribbons hanging everywhere, and a brocade atmosphere, red and prosperous, bustling and bustling.

The seats were all occupied, the whole street was packed, the crowd was so long that you couldn't see the end, and the people at the back couldn't see the front.

She was lucky to be sitting in the front row and could see it clearly.

The girls came on stage, the handsome guys came on stage, some played the pipa, some danced...

The scene was very lively.

Xia Shi was busy taking photos, shouting, clocking in, and throwing things on the stage.

It's just that everyone else threw gold leaves, gold beans, and gold ingots, but she threw chestnuts, sunflower seeds, and all kinds of snacks...

Ha ha,

The money has been spent on the boss a long time ago, but I am very happy. Today I participated in the ancient version of the variety show, and I was very happy to shout support for Mudan under the stage.

When the final results of the beauty pageant came out, Mudan won first place, but there was something strange about the men's beauty pageant.

"Hey, why is there no first place?" Xia Shi asked.

The person next to him answered, "Miss, you don't know that in Qingzhou Prefecture, no matter which street is holding a beauty pageant, there is no first place winner!"

"Why?"

"Because the first place is a long time ago!"

"Why do you say that?"

"There is an anecdote here. It is said that 23 years ago in the previous dynasty, that is, three years ago, at the gate of Qingzhou City, a man who was riding a horse to save someone fell off his mask. Although it was a startling glimpse, it was still shocking to see that he was a beautiful man. From then on, it was sung by the world..."

Wow, he took the spot at first sight, so handsome? (?O?)? ? ?

"...It's a pity that he never appeared again. It's as if he had evaporated from this world. Fortunately, an artist saw him at the time and drew a picture of him. That's why everyone knows about him!"

"Want to see it!"

"It's easy if you want to see it, there's a theatre troupe that happens to have it in its collection!"

Mudan happened to come and said to Xia Shi, "What's this? Come on, I'll take you to see it. Thank you for giving me the handkerchief!"

Xia Shi followed her and finally saw this portrait in a room dedicated to the collection of portraits.
