Mianzhou City.
Within the government office, its rear hall echoed with lively song and dance.
The dancers from Xiahang moved gracefully, their performances captivating, their flirtatious eyes further fanning the banquet's atmosphere to its peak.
There was a saying in Qian State about the four great loves of scholars:
The rouge of Xiahang touched by the brush of the imperial capital;
The fine liquor of Wuchuan complementing the ink of Hengzhou.
The "rouge of Xiahang" referred to the beauties from Xiahang. In the imperial harems of Qian State emperors throughout the ages, there had always been a place reserved for women from Xiahang. The current ruler of Qian State had even taken in the three sisters of Xiahang's Yang Family, a tale often recounted with admiration.
Within the hall, the beauties currently dancing were all from Xiahang; they were a gift to the local governor from a wealthy Jiangnan gentleman.
