Autumn is crisp, and the bagpipes sound again.

Under a clear sky, bards dressed in festive costumes play musical instruments and dance briskly from village to village. Listening to the cheerful music, even the footsteps of the horses running on the road became lighter.

Large bunches of plump purple-black grapes fell heavily on the branches, dotting the endless grape fields. The bronzed-skinned girl picks the grapes with short, thick scissors and carefully puts them in the basket. Whenever one was filled, a young man came on horseback and carried the basket back to the manor on horseback. Beads of sweat hung on his beautiful face, causing the stunned young man to fall off his horse, causing bursts of laughter.

Today is the Harvest Day, the day of the grape harvest and the most important festival in the whole of Towcente.

On this day, the entire bustling city of Bowland suddenly emptied, and there was not a single figure to be seen walking on the street. On the other hand, in the mountain vineyards just outside the city of Bockland, there is a lot of people. On this day, the whole city was dispatched.

Whether you are a commoner or a noble duke, at this moment you walk in the countryside in the traditional costume of Towcente, picking bunches of grapes with frost with your own hands, and on this day you are tired and your back hurts...... Because what is tied to that branch is the foundation of the nation.

"Your Majesty, slow down, Your Majesty!" The knight on his horse shouted anxiously.

But to no avail, the spirited Lady Anna rode through the ridges like a gust of wind on her beautiful flowered horse, leaving her knights and maids far behind.

The wind blew in my ears, and a shade of trees flew away from my eyes, and a large area of red bricks and white walls poured into my view.

Dover Manor has arrived.

*****

Dover Manor is more lively today than anywhere else, because everyone knows that the owner of the manor, Shen Yan, is not bad for money!

The two teams of bards played their own tunes like a class, and led the people who carried the baskets, the wooden basins, and the grapes to be stalked, singing and dancing, and the joyful atmosphere seemed to overflow.

Chilled fruit wine and hearty food sit on two rows of tables at the door, ready for everyone to take as they please. The wine with the tender flesh and the oily cooked meat make people have a great appetite when they look at it. And it's all – free! During the grape harvest, this revelry lasts for many days.

As the owner of the manor, Shen Yan has only one request, he must sing in a hoarse voice, and he must dance until he can't lift his legs, otherwise he won't give money!

Before coming to the manor, she glanced enviously at the cheerful crowd, Anna flew off the horse, and asked the housekeeper Fu who was standing at the door with shining eyes, "Where is he?" ”

Futi made a gesture of invitation to the manor, and Lady Anna was delighted. At this time, her guards and maids finally came up panting, and ......before they could open their mouths to persuade her, Anna raised her palms and ordered, "Don't come with you, stay here and play at will!" ”

After speaking, he picked up his skirt and followed Futi, and ran quickly towards the manor.

Several entourages had no choice but to obey orders, but fortunately there was no shortage of enjoyment here, drinking and listening to music, and dancing...... At the thought of dancing, the two guards instantly stopped their burning eyes on the maid - this was a godsend! In the past, they didn't have the right opportunity to invite Vivien Tabrice to dance......

"Am I late?" Seeing Shen Yan standing in the back garden, Lady Anna almost ran in front of him.

"No, the time is just right!" Shen Yan said with a smile. "Is that okay?" He curled his arms. "Of course!" Anna happily slipped her arm in and hugged him.

Then Shen Yan snapped his fingers, and the plank they were standing on began to rise. Anna steadied, she had already seen this kind of thing called "elevator", which used electricity - the touch of pulling the rope in the basement burst into tears, is it electricity, don't you have a little pressure in your heart?

*****

The entire Dover Manor is a C-shaped layout, and after Shen Yan took over, he strengthened the privacy, separating the front and back of the manor, and only a few people could enter the second half.

So Anna walked half a circle with the butler, and where they were now standing was only a wall away from the front yard entrance. Here, the sound of music and dancing footsteps outside was clearly audible, and Anna could even faintly hear the sound of the guards pestering her maid Vivien.

As the planks were raised, Anna and Shen Yan came to a position higher than the wall that could be seen by almost everyone.

Seeing the owner of the village and His Majesty the Lady appear together, the handsome men and the beautiful women are all wearing similar styles of national costumes, and they are really talented women. The crowd was silent for a moment, and then erupted in earth-shattering cheers!

"Honey, let me see your hands!" Shen Yan shouted loudly, and countless people jumped up and raised their hands high.

"Music!" He pointed to the left, and two teams of bards flew up the score provided by Shen Yan in advance.

"Fireworks!" Point to the right, boom boom! Countless flowers bloom in the sky of the manor!

"Honey, what are you waiting for? Let's get the party started! ”

The crowd began to cheer loudly again.

There was a rattling sound from the ground in the front yard, and the stone slabs covering the fountain automatically moved to the sides (touch: tears). The fountain pool is made of circular marble, and the water inside has been emptied in advance and turned into a stone basin with a diameter of 20 meters.

Immediately countless people poured in from outside the manor, carrying wooden barrels, and pouring buckets of destemmed purple grape beads into the pool until they were deep enough to submerge their calves! Healthy women lifted their skirts, exposed their healthy and fair calves or even half amputated thighs, and were carried by men from the stream into the fountain pool.

With the sound of a drum, the women danced happily in the pool with their feet on the purple grapes. The grapes are crushed and burst into purple juice that stains the snow-white calves a dark color......

"Oh oh~" The women in the pool put their arms on their shoulders and turned the circle clockwise; Outside the pool, the lads beat their beats and turned another circle counterclockwise; Farther out, the bards, the porters, the passers-by, the guards, etc...... A third larger circle is formed that dances and rotates clockwise.

"Let's not stay here and get in the way of everyone's good." Shen Yan snapped his fingers again, and the plank slowly lowered.

This year, the new grapes grown in the vineyard using Shen Yan's method were divided into upper and lower grades during the grape destemming and selection process. Only the inferior grapes are put into the fountain and trampled on with their little feet. No way, this is a local tradition. If you don't do this once, everyone will not open the forest for the next year, and there will be all kinds of rumors outside; The really good grapes are poured directly into the vats and transported down to the underground fermentation tanks, where they are blended by an "electric" mixer.

The former wine will be appropriately given in this world (the new wine created by Shen Yan himself), and the latter will be brought back to Huancheng.

Anyway, our family has a lot of touches...... What about a good holiday?

*****

By the time the two men stepped on the planks and came down, a huge wooden basin had been set up beside the wall, filled with a third of the grape beads.

After preparing all this, the housekeeper Futi hid out with interest, and there was no one in the back garden.

"Please, my majesty." Shen Yan took off his boots and released a "cleansing technique" on his feet, making an inviting gesture to Anna.

"I ...... Can it really be? Anna bit her lip, her eyes shining with eagerness. The melodious music outside the wall tickled her heart and her little feet like a cat. But as a baroness, she emphasized in her heart not to do that.

"I insist."

"Well, this is what you begged me for, I can't refuse!" Lady Anna quickly took off her riding boots and socks, revealing a pair of flawless little feet.

Her skirt was obviously the kind of traditional Towcente dress, the kind of clothes to be worn when picking grapes—apparently prepared after receiving Shen Yan's invitation—tucked up to expose a small section above her calves and knees, snow-white and greasy.

Shen Yan unleashed a "cleansing technique" on her feet, turned around and asked her to jump on her back, and then put Anna into the tub in a half circle, and then jumped in with her!

"Ahhh "What are you waiting for! Here we go! Oh puppet~"

She raised her hands above her head and twisted her waist. "Shen Yan, Shen Yan! I've never been happier than ever! ”

……

After a while, Anna completely abandoned her identity as a lady, she twisted her waist to the music, danced unwillingly, and showed Shen Yan a graceful dance.

She stared at Shen Yan who matched her dancing, and the burning enthusiasm in her eyes was enough to melt steel!

As she danced, ruddy colors appeared on the sides of her nose, along with delicate beads of sweat. Maybe it's because the waist is tied too tightly, maybe it's because it's ...... Well, the quality of the clothes in the office has always been bad.

Just as the music was interrupted, Lady Anna, who had stopped, gasped violently, and her chest fell together. Suddenly, there was a "bang", and a button finally couldn't withstand the repeated pulling, and it flew out of the clothes.

Anna's blouse was stretched open by her bulging breasts, revealing deep snow-white ravines.

Anna was stunned, she really didn't have a heart this time...... She looked at Shen Yan, a little scared...... This incomprehensible man, this straight man of steel, won't give her another heartache, right?

Sure enough, Shen Yan's face became serious.

He raised his hand and spread out his palm, as if he had grabbed the clasp in the air!

"It's really unbelievable, this is the third time!" He said indignantly!

Just when Anna was so ashamed that she wanted to turn around and run away, she would never come back! Shen Yan suddenly squatted down, stopped Anna's leg and hugged her easily, hugging her tightly.

Anna looked at him in surprise, her eyes full of incredulity.

Facing her eyes, Shen Yan said indifferently. "Do you think it's the third time, and I'll forgive you again?"

He jumped out of the tub with her in his arms and strode towards the main house.

A long trail of purple-red footprints left behind him.
