Chapter 540: The First Hearing of the Xizi Festival

After seeing clearly that there was an NPC middle-aged woman behind her, and there was no trace of martial arts cultivation on her body, Mu Yuxi, who was slightly relieved, asked: "This pearl is a gift from the deceased, is there any problem?" ”

"Girl, I have a reluctant request, and I hope the girl agrees." Looking at the pearls in the box with the lid open in Mu Yuxi's hand, the woman said with some expectation.

"Please." After glancing at the demon with some surprise, Mu Yuxi immediately replied.

"Is the girl willing to transfer this thing to the concubine? It doesn't matter what the cost! Seeing that Mu Yuxi's tone was a little loose, the woman hurriedly said.

"Can I find out why?" After thinking for a while, Mu Yuxi said with some hesitation. "Ordinary pearls are everywhere, but pearls that are so round and huge are very rare. Even if you say that no matter what the cost, I can't just give it to you so easily. ”

"The girl is a foreigner who doesn't know, my ramie village has domesticated pearls since ancient times, and the field is famous for its ramie pearls." Although she was a little anxious, looking at Mu Yuxi and the demon in an extraordinary appearance, in the end, the woman hurriedly replied to Mu Yuxi and the others.

"So, this pearl actually belongs to your ramie village, so it needs to be returned to its original owner?" Glancing at the pearl in the box in his palm, Mu Yuxi asked in a calm tone.

"Girl, you misunderstood, the concubine didn't mean that." Afraid that the more she explained, the more she misunderstood, and then it seemed that she had finally made a decision, and the woman finally said to Mu Yuxi. "The concubine asked the girl for this pearl not for herself, but for the little girl to be married in the concubine's boudoir."

"Do you mean you want to use this pearl as a decoration on your wedding dress?" Recalling the pearl hairpin in the jewelry that Shangguan Xiangyi prepared for Yang Fang's wedding dress, Mu Yuxi asked with some puzzlement. "Isn't this hairpin covered with a red cloth? No matter how much the pearl hits others, can't you see it? ”

"Girl, that's not the case. Girl, do you know the allusion to Xi Shi in Lai Luo Village? Seeing that Mu Yuxi obviously misunderstood, the woman in front of Mu Yuxi hurriedly continued.

"Shih Tzu?" Hearing this, even the demon glanced at Mu Yuxi with some surprise.

And Mu Yuxi also hurriedly rummaged through the information that Shangguan Xiangyi handed over to him.

When I saw the last page, Xi Shi's birthplace, Ramie Village, seemed to have nothing to do with this mission, so it was included in the appendix at the end as supplementary information.

In addition to lamenting Shangguan Xiangyi's unreliability in finding and sorting out information, Mu Yuxi, who finally confirmed that what the NPC woman in front of her said was true, said: "I've just heard about it, but I don't know much about the details." ”

"Our Ramie Village is the homeland of Xi Shi, and this Huansha Creek is the place where Xizi was here in Huansha back then." Turning around and pointing to the stream not far away, the woman in front of Mu Yuxi said with some longing on her face.

"And then?" Mu Yuxi, who couldn't confirm how Xi Shi had anything to do with textile technology, frowned and asked.

"In order to commemorate Xizi, Ramie Village holds the Xizi Festival every year. All the girls to be married in the boudoir in Lai Luo Village will dress up and come to the side of Huansha Creek to pay tribute to Xizi on this day. Pointing to the platform that was still being built not far away, the woman explained to Mu Yuxi.

"What about this pearl?" Hearing this, Mu Yuxi, who was still confused and could only express her helplessness for this NPC woman's ability to express herself, could only continue to ask.

"Legend has it that Xizi is the pearl of the sky, and the pearl in Lai Luo Village represents Xizi. If the girl's pearl can match the concubine's little girl, then the little girl will definitely stand out at the Xizi Festival. Speaking of this, the middle-aged woman in front of Mu Yuxi said to Mu Yuxi with a begging look. I beg the girl, you must fulfill the little girl of the concubine! ”

After discussing with the demon for a while, Mu Yuxi finally decided to go with the middle-aged woman to see the situation first.

After following the woman for a while, Mu Yuxi soon met the daughter of the NPC woman in a slightly dilapidated thatched house.

Seriously, the girl in front of her is indeed a delicate girl with a pleasant appearance, and there is a feeling that people can't help but want to be pity.

However, in this Jiangnan water town rich in beauties, in the case that the average foundation is already very high, anyway, as far as the judgment of the demon is concerned, the demon does not think that the girl in front of him can have many amazing effects with Mu Yuxi's pearls.

But when she came to this house, after seeing the textile tools in the house that had been abandoned for a long time, Mu Yuxi thought that she would push this girl to the head of the Xizi Festival no matter what.

Because there are some dilapidated textile tools in the house where the mother and daughter live, which are similar to Mu Yuxi's in Yang Fang's small house.

"Master, you have to think about it." After listening to Mu Yuxi's opinion, the demon whispered after pulling Mu Yuxi to the corner. "You have only one pearl, and from what I have seen and heard in the village along the way, this girl can really only be described as ordinary. And it's not clear whether this textile technology is reliable or not, and if it fails, this mission line will be completely broken. ”

"But I have also observed the textile households in this village along the way, and there are few who meet the conditions. So if nothing else, maybe the system is trying to increase the difficulty of our task, this girl may be the only way for us to complete the task. Speaking of this, Mu Yuxi also sighed lightly. I know it's bad, but we don't seem to have any better options. ”

"However, if you really have to mobilize all the resources to do this task, I don't think this task will be that difficult." Seeing that the demon was a little speechless and looking at herself, Mu Yuxi continued as if she had a plan. "But before I can do that, I need to confirm something."

"These instruments, the ancestors of the concubines are still able to use them. But the concubine only knows how to use it, but there is no way to weave the silk of the silk yarn. When Mu Yuxi asked the woman about the long-abandoned textile equipment in the house, the middle-aged woman replied like this.

Is it a silk yarn? And sure enough, it was!

"So, if I'm going to exchange this pearl for the production technique of this raccoon yarn brocade, do you think it's okay?" After confirming that the woman in front of her really knew the production method of the silk brocade sold by the Yang Fang clan, she immediately asked while the iron was hot.
