Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 309 First Encounter with the Snow Woman
the other side.

Xu Lin and Nongyu arrived at the capital of Yan, Ji City.

Although it was not yet winter, there were very few people on the streets of Jicheng, far fewer than in Handan.

"This is the capital of the Yan Kingdom?"

"Why do I feel like it's not as good as Xinzheng before?"

Nongyu frowned slightly and spoke.

Xu Lin shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.

This was his first time visiting the State of Yan.

After settling into a random inn, Xu Lin remembered Fei Xue Ge.

Since we've come all the way to Jicheng, how can we not visit Feixue Pavilion?
With this in mind, he bought a map of Jicheng.

After finding Feixue Pavilion, he put on his coat and walked outside.

"Where are you going, sir?"

Seeing this, Nongyu asked in confusion.

"Feixue Pavilion".

Xu Lin answered.

"I want to go too."

Without hesitation, Nongyu replied.

Xu Lin remained silent upon hearing this, and looked at Nongyu's chest.

"Are you sure you want to go?"

"Feixue Pavilion is a song and dance hall."

Xu Lin reminded.

"I can dress up as a man!"

Nongyu said this as she thought about it.

She didn't want to stay at the inn alone.

"it is good."

"You should change your clothes."

Seeing that Nongyu was serious, Xu Lin agreed.

Then the wooden door was closed.

After obtaining Xu Lin's consent, Nongyu smiled and changed into Xu Lin's clothes.

Because Xu Lin was almost half a head taller than Nong Yu, his sleeves and pants were a bit long, while his chest and buttocks were just right, or even a bit small.

……

After half a cup of tea.

Nongyu rolled up her sleeves and walked out of the bedroom.

"What... what does my brother think?"

Nongyu blinked her almond-shaped eyes and asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hands and spun around in front of Xu Lin.

"not bad."

"But you should talk less."

Xu Lin nodded and then said.

Nongyu nodded slightly.

Then, imitating Xu Lin, he put his hands behind his back and left the inn.

"gentlemen."

"Should I get a fake beard?"

After going out into the street, Nongyu gently stroked her cheek and asked.

"Need not."

Xu Lin shook his head.

Jicheng was, after all, the capital of Yan. Even if Nongyu had a fake beard, he couldn't fool everyone.

"gentlemen."

Do you think we're like brothers?

Nongyu asked curiously.

Xu Lin's clothes are of excellent quality and very comfortable to wear.

"Like father and son."

Xu Lin said deliberately.

"what?"

"No way?"

Nongyu's almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief.

Xu Lin looks quite young, how could he resemble his father?
Surely she can't be the father?

That's even stranger!

"just kidding."

Xu Lin smiled.

Then he took off the water pouch from Nongyu's waist and took a big gulp of water.

"I thought you were serious, sir."

"Nongyu said softly."

After speaking, she took the water bag, raised her delicate neck, and began to gulp down the water.

Xu Lin's acting was superb, making it impossible for Nongyu to tell whether he was joking or serious.

Xu Lin remained silent upon hearing this and stretched comfortably.

Then he turned his head and looked towards the Qin state.

His words just now were not casual remarks, but a test of Nongyu.

It seems that Nongyu never intended for him to be her 'stepfather'.

In that case, it would be best not to tell Nongyu about his affair with Madam Hu.

Sometimes, we have no choice but to tell a white lie.

It can't really be called a lie; it's just that everyone has a different understanding of 'friends'.

Xu Lin's 'friendship' with Madam Hu is different from Nongyu's understanding of friendship.

Just as most people would think Xu Lin is not a virgin, Xu Lin considers himself a virgin because he has not lost his virginity yet.

……

Half an hour later.

Xu Lin and Nongyu arrived at Feixue Pavilion.

Feixue Pavilion is not located in the core area of ​​Jicheng, but it is very popular with guests.

Although the sun had not yet set, Feixue Pavilion was already lit up. The main building of Feixue Pavilion adopts the traditional palace style of the Yan Kingdom. The core facility inside, the Flying Snow Jade Flower Stage, is made of special jade. The stage is carved with snowflake patterns and jade petals to create an interactive light and shadow effect. Only the Snow Maiden is allowed to perform on this stage.

The walls of Feixue Pavilion are decorated with reliefs of Yan Kingdom totems, and the window lattice patterns visually echo the embellishments on the dance skirts of the dancers in Feixue Pavilion.

As far as Xu Lin knew, Fei Xue Pavilion mainly served three functions.

First, it regularly holds special dance performances featuring the Snow Woman, with entry limited to royalty and nobility.

Second, cultivate a professional team of dancers to pass on the Zhao dance technique system.

Third, intelligence from various countries can be obtained through artistic exchanges.

"Sister Zi Nu once thought of bringing Cai Die and the others to learn Zhao Dance."

"But before it even arrived, Zilan Pavilion had already transformed."

After entering Feixue Pavilion, Nongyu lowered her voice.

Xu Lin nodded and told Nongyu to come closer when she spoke.

Nongyu's voice didn't sound like a man's at all.

After witnessing this scene, Nongyu hesitated to speak.

She was already very close; any closer and she would have touched Xu Lin's ear!
"Is this your first time here, two guests?"

Soon, a young lady came to greet Xu Lin and Nongyu.

"Correct."

Xu Lin nodded.

"Are you two here to enjoy the dance, or...?"

The heavily made-up girl asked.

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xu Lin.

"Not urgent."

Do you have tea here?

Xu Lin waved his sleeve.

"some."

"Please wait a moment, both of you."

"There aren't many guests right now, please make yourselves at home."

The young woman answered respectfully.

"I wonder what I call the girl?"

Xu Lin asked curiously.

"Guests can call me Meng'er."

The girl suggested with a smile.

Xu Lin nodded and found a seat by the window.

"Sir, you've taken a liking to her?"

Seeing that Xu Lin kept glancing at Meng'er, Nongyu teased him.

"What did you call me?"

Xu Lin pretended to be displeased.

"elder brother."

Nongyu immediately changed her tune.

"Although I am lustful, I am also very proud."

"How could an ordinary woman possibly catch my eye?"

Xu Lin retorted.

After saying that, he took the teapot that Meng'er handed him and poured a bowl of tea for Nongyu.

Nongyu wanted to argue with Xu Lin, but she was afraid that people would find out she wasn't a man, so she had to give up.

……

After a cup of tea.

A man wearing bronze armor and with a lewd face entered Feixue Pavilion.

Is the Snow Maiden here?

The visitor asked loudly.

His voice was so loud it hurt people's ears.

After speaking, he took off his helmet and gently stroked his sparse hair a few times.

He looked to be around thirty years old, but he had already started to go bald.

Xu Lin looked in the direction of the sound and saw the tiger-head helmet in the man's hand.

The "doumou" refers to the helmets used in later times, which are divided into tiger-head doumou, phoenix-wing doumou, and lion-head doumou, among others.

The tiger-head helmet in the newcomer's hand was so lifelike that it was clear that the person was of extraordinary status.

"exist."

"General, please wait a moment!"

Meng'er quickly replied.

Then we went up to the third floor.

Before long, the Snow Woman arrived on the first floor.

The snow woman was dressed in a dark blue open-front silk dress, adorned with crystal headdress and earrings, and wearing blue crystal dance clogs, her expression indifferent.

After the guests on the first floor recognized the man as Yan Yi, the great general of the Yan Kingdom, they all left.

Xu Lin also guessed from Meng'er's way of addressing the visitor that the visitor was Yan Yi.

But he disagreed.

Even if the visitor were the King of Yan, let alone the Grand General of Yan, what would he have to fear?

"Snow Maiden, it's been a long time!"

Yan Yi grinned when he saw the Snow Maiden.

His smile was lewd, even worse than Ji Wuye's before, and he didn't seem like a general at all!

"It's been a long time, General Yan."

Snow Woman answered.

Her voice was cool and her reply was purely out of politeness.

"I wonder what Miss Xue Nu's decision is?"

"It's just dancing in the mansion, at most an hour."

Yan Yi asked in a loud voice.

After speaking, he placed his hand on the long sword at his waist.

Then he turned and looked out the door.

He did not come alone; there were hundreds of soldiers outside.
