After Reincarnating, the Ice-Cold Prince Won’t Leave Me Alone

  Chapter 397 Miao Jiang

   More than half a month later, Shen Mingjiao and his party came to Wenshan City in Yunnan in disguise. Almost half of the people living here were Miao people.

  The carriage drove through the pass and entered the town, and Shen Mingjiao and the others were amazed by the unearthly craftsmanship in front of them.

   Haitang pointed to the elegant three-story building in front of her: "This...is all made of wood!"

  There are many mountains here, even if it is a market, it is only in a relatively flat mountain.

   Wu Taiyi introduced: "This is a stilted building. It is a unique building for our Miao people."

  Shen Mingjiao looked at the roof with sloping corners and upturned eaves, and couldn't help but marvel: "Your ancestors were really wise!"

  The witch doctor straightened his back proudly: "Although our Miao people live in the mountains, our cultural heritage is no less than that of your Han people!"

   Today seems to be the market day here, and the streets are very lively. From time to time, various shouts came from my ears.

  Beside them, a girl in gorgeous clothes greeted warmly:

   "Ma'am, beautiful Huabuler, buy one and take it home!"

Shen Mingjiao turned her head and saw a girl wearing silver jewelry standing in front of the stall. The girl was not very beautiful, but she had a clean feeling that Shen Mingjiao couldn't describe, especially when she smiled, as if she was An uncut jade in the rough,

  Shen Mingjiao gave the girl a friendly smile: "The hair accessories on the girl's head are so beautiful!"

  Women do not like to be praised. The girl smiled brightly: "You are merchants who come here to buy wood! Madam, you can call me Xiuxiu. I made all these clothes myself."

  Shen Mingjiao pointed to the few ready-made clothes hanging on the shelf: "I want this one?" After speaking, he glanced at the people behind him: "Wrap up the rest too."

   Next, I should stay here for a while, always going to do as the Romans do.

   When the big business came, the smile on Xiuxiu's face became even brighter, and she began to pack quickly with her hands: "If the size is not suitable, just come to my house and ask me to change it. I'm from Wu's village, just across the mountain."

   Yun Shu stepped forward to take it, "How much?"

  Xiuxiu counted with her fingers for a long time, and tentatively said: "Give me a tael of silver!"

   Seeing the astonished expressions of the people in front of her, she scratched her head. He hesitated and said: "Is it too much? You...you can also bargain. But at least 900 Wen, no less..."

   Following her movements, the silver ornaments on her head jingled.

  Shen Mingjiao couldn't help laughing: "Girl, this is your first time selling something!"

  Xiuxiu shook her head honestly: "No! It's just... I have never met a customer who bought so many clothes."

Shen Mingjiao took out an ingot of five taels of silver from her purse, and before the other party refused, she said with a smile: "There are so many of us, these few clothes are not enough, this is a deposit, if you need other clothes, let someone go to the girl Please ask the girl to help."

  Xiuxiu took it in a daze. At this time, there was a sound of drums, as if some ceremony was about to be held.

  So Shen Mingjiao and the others watched in amazement as the men and women who set up stalls left their stalls and ran towards a hill together.

   "What are they going to do?"

The witch doctor glanced at the ribbons floating in the distance, and explained: "It's a coincidence that we came here. Today is March 3rd, which is the annual Flower God Festival in the clan. Oh, it is equivalent to the Qixi Festival of Shangyuan for you Han people. On this day, unmarried young men and women will put on costumes and come to the mountains and waters in groups. The men and women will fall in love with each other, and if they see each other, they will invite them to leave, indicating that they are in love."

  Shen Mingjiao exclaimed amazingly: "It's unimaginable that men also have to sing!" After all, Han men are relatively reserved, and they don't know how to sing or dance even in private.

  The witch doctor smiled: "What's the matter, there are no Miao people who can't sing, not only during festivals, but also during farming and herding cattle."

  Shen Mingjiao asked Haitang to put away her clothes, and said, "Since we've made it, let's join in the fun!"

   Haitang pointed to a row of stalls in the market, and murmured in disbelief: "These people have big hearts, and they are not afraid of being stolen!"

   This was heard by a guy passing by in a hurry, and the other party replied naturally: "What's the matter, no one will steal it!"

   "Okay, let's go!"

  A group of people followed the team to one of the hills tied with colorful cloth strips. They saw girls in colorful clothes dancing enthusiastically and singing songs with ethnic characteristics.

  Compared to the Shangyuan Festival in Beijing, those Han women who are either tweaking or trying to maintain elegance and good-looking, they dance so casually, they don’t care about image etiquette, but they have a pure and simple feeling.

  Shen Mingjiao said with emotion: "It turns out that the rumored Miao Jiang is like this!"

   Wu Taiyi answered: "In Madam's heart, everyone in the Miao people knows how to raise Gu and deal with snakes, insects, rats and ants all day long!"

  Shen Mingjiao admitted her mistake honestly: "I am narrow-minded!"

  It is indeed as the witch doctor said, because of the sudden appearance of Gu worms, and some things Cui Lingling said about the **** witch village, she subconsciously has a bad impression of the Miao people, so that she is also wary along the way.

   But it was only a few hours since she came here, but she really saw a real and simple nation.

   Yes, rustic.

  Just like the girl named Xiuxiu I met just now,

  Just thinking about this, I saw Xiuxiu walking in front of them with cheerful steps, and then sang an unknown tune towards the opposite side of the mountain,

  Her voice is clear, and her singing may not be organized, but here, no one will pay attention to those.

  As her voice fell, a high-pitched male voice immediately came to mind on the other side of the mountain.

  Shen Mingjiao followed the voice and saw a young man with a strong figure and a simple and honest face. The young man was holding a cow in his hand, and several companions beside him were laughing and joking with him.

   Seeing that there was no response from the other side, the young man became a little anxious. Amidst the booing of his companions around him, Mai Se's face turned red and he sang even harder.

  Xiuxiu chuckled, and the little sister beside her smiled and poked her arm, indicating that it was almost enough.

  Xiuxiu didn't hold back, she raised her voice, and answered the sentence openly to the opposite side.

  The eyes of the young man on the opposite side lit up, and he led the cow down the gentle slope. Xiuxiu also walked towards the young man amidst the laughter of the little sisters.

  Shen Mingjiao: "The two of you are done?"

   "Well, but the two families will not be hired immediately, and the two need to get along for a while. The woman can live in the man's house for a period of time. Only when she feels that all aspects are suitable, will she consider getting married."

   Yun Shu sighed: "It turns out that the customs of different places can vary so much, but this is much better than blind marriage?"

The group watched the excitement for a while, and Fu Guang imitated the movements of these girls and danced for a while. Because of her eyes, many young people on the other side of the mountain sang high-pitched songs at her. The little girl saw this Rarely a little overwhelmed.

  Shen Mingjiao hurriedly smiled and pulled people down the mountain, and when she returned to the previous market, she happened to meet Xiuxiu and her two.

  The other party greeted warmly, then pointed to the simple and honest young man beside him, and introduced it like a treasure: "This is Brother A Niu, my lover."

  Everyone glanced at the big ox who was following them, yes. What an apt name!

  Shen Mingjiao praised with dignity: "You two are a perfect match standing together!"

  Xiuxiu smiled with crooked eyebrows, and said without humility: "Well, I think so too." On the contrary, the young man with the cow beside him blushed embarrassingly.

   "Are you here to buy wood, do you need our help?"

  Shen Mingjiao waved her hand: "It's not urgent, do you have an inn here? It's just... a place for passing pedestrians to stay?"

  Xiuxiu shook her head: "Except for merchants who collect medicinal materials and wood, few outsiders come here. But it happens that there are many empty houses in A Niu's house. If you don't mind, you can go to his house to borrow."

  A Niu also warmly invited them after hearing the words. Shen Mingjiao did not refuse. Follow the two of them towards the mountains.

   A group of people chatted while walking, Shen Mingjiao was good at communication, and Xiuxiu was also enthusiastic and lively. After a while, the two became acquainted.

   "Are you all from the Wu Family Village?"

   "Yes, several hills here belong to the Wu Family Village."

   Shen Mingjiao looked up at the rolling peaks in front of him and the rows of closely connected stilted buildings, and once again sighed at the wisdom of the Miao people.

  But... there must be at least tens of thousands of people in such a large area! It really is a big family.

  She tentatively asked: "Then have you heard of the God Witch Village?"

  Xiuxiu thought for a while and then shook her head: "I know all the villages in Wenshan, but I have never heard of this name. When I go back, I will ask my grandma."

  Shen Mingjiao could see that the girl wasn't lying, she frowned, according to what Cui Lingling said, the Shenwu Village shouldn't be unknown, how come Xiuxiu, a local, hasn't heard of it?

   Good night, the next chapter is working hard to add more,

   The description of the Miao people in this article is from Baidu. However, the Gu insects are purely fabricated for the sake of the plot. Let's believe in science!
