It's 1:30 PM.
There was still half an hour before the flower-gathering event.
But the area between Quedongzhai and Heiwuzhai was packed with people.
Two Miao elders, who rarely appear on such occasions, were present. With the assistance of hundreds of village chiefs, they made tense but orderly arrangements for the upcoming flower-begging ceremony.
Lu Rui, from Shanghai, was accompanied by two chieftains who whispered to him as he also spoke loudly into a microphone about the process of asking for the flower ribbon.
After all, many Han Chinese people came, and not every Han Chinese person could understand Miao language.
After Lu Rui's explanation, the non-Miao people gradually understood.
The "flower-seeking ceremony" is a unique activity among Miao young men and women where they openly express their love and freely pursue romantic relationships.
Although it was still half an hour before it started, tens of thousands of people had already gathered around the area.
Lin Bei and Su Qian found a spot in advance, on a higher side row, where they could clearly see the scene.
"My goodness, it's already this spectacular before it even starts! What will it be like later on?!"
"Seeing this makes me want to go down and join the flower-begging party too."
"What are you dreaming about in broad daylight? Didn't you hear what the narrator said? If you want to win a Miao girl's flower belt, you must first know how to play the lusheng (a reed pipe instrument). Do you know how to play it?"
"If we don't know how, we can ask a relative to help us blow it."
"Among us Han people, which family has relatives or friends who can play the lusheng (a traditional reed pipe instrument)?"
Forehead---
"The Miao people's flower-begging belt sounds simple, but there are many intricacies involved! The tunes of the lusheng are also different, and the tunes contain the words that the Miao man wants to say."
"They even have to play music and dance at the same time. Who among you knows how to dance this kind of Miao dance?"
Hearing this, Han Feng, standing next to him, looked dejected and said, "Master Mu can do everything. It's a pity that he's playing at home today, otherwise I would have asked him for a flower ribbon and he would have blew it for me."
"Get out..."
"Han Feng, watch your words, or the Miao people will chop you up."
Upon Lin Bei's reminder, Han Feng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Su Qian and Yao Ye, along with other executives from Tangtang Capital, were whispering amongst themselves, all eagerly anticipating the scene of their boss entering to ask for the flower ribbon.
As for the business elites from Beijing, Shanghai, and the South, they were also excitedly waiting.
Especially those wealthy men who lost money to Mu Achen, though they didn't say it, secretly hoped that the cunning Miao boy wouldn't get the flower belt.
Ideally, one should remain single for life.
However, these wealthy men also knew that Mu Achen was the future Miao King of the Miao family, and it was rumored that the girl he admired was a saintess, so it was impossible for him to marry a girl without a flower belt.
Even if they couldn't win the Holy Maiden's flower sash, the Miao people still have many, many beautiful girls.
Ten minutes before 2 o'clock, a grand procession arrived from Heiwu Village. Countless Miao uncles played the lusheng (a traditional Miao reed pipe instrument) as they came over, along with many aunties, all dressed in their finest attire, to escort Mu Achen, who had changed into new Miao clothing.
Ah Chen also held a lusheng in his hand, and the silver necklace around his neck glittered under the blazing sun.
For Achen, this day was not something he had waited for half a year, but for two lifetimes.
Therefore, Ah Chen was very excited.
But because of his excitement, his palms were sweaty as he held the lusheng.
"Don't be nervous, just do as Grandma tells you to do in a moment."
"Ah Chen, don't be afraid."
My patriarch, Uncle Dong, and Uncle Gan were all there.
Almost all the Miao people from Heiwu Village, except those who stayed at home or on the mountaintop to handle various matters in the rear for Achen, came.
The eight wolves of the Miao people were also waiting at the entrance of the Lusheng field. They all held Lusheng and were waiting for Achen to arrive so they could cheer for the future Miao king.
Soon, girls from the three villages of Que Dongzhai arrived.
On the Lusheng field, the sounds of music and singing filled the air.
The girls from the three villages, nearly a thousand in total, were arranged in four teams.
The girl's relatives followed beside her, especially her mother, who was carrying a new quilt.
Because once a girl agrees to be asked for a flower ribbon, her mother has to drape a quilt over the boy's body.
A quilt symbolizes a lifetime and a long, lasting relationship.
As for how to distinguish which girls are participating in the blind date and which are just there to support them, of course you just look at their chests.
The girl wearing a small red flower on her chest is one of the girls participating in the flower-begging contest.
If a woman doesn't wear a red flower, the man can't ask for it, let alone harass or even steal it.
In addition, the girls from Quedong Village who are the first to enter the Lusheng field are not allowed to participate in the flower-picking ceremony with their Miao men.
Because Miao people in the same village are all brothers and sisters, they cannot marry.
Only Miao men from other villages can participate.
However, because there are many participating villages this time, each session only lasts two hours.
When the time comes, regardless of whether the girls still have their flower ribbons, they must leave.
In other words, Mu Achen only has two hours this time.
However, now that he had entered the Lusheng field, he almost cursed as he looked at the girls from Quedong Village entering the field.
The girls who entered the venue wearing small red flowers were all dressed up in their finest attire, with silver hats on their heads and silver earrings hanging from their ears. They danced the Lusheng dance in the innermost circle of the procession.
"My goodness, no matter how she dresses, she looks the same. Where is the saint?"
"Didn't you hear what the commentator said? This is a blind date, so the Holy Maiden certainly won't be wearing the domineering attire she wore during yesterday's ceremony."
"But there are only two hours, and there are thousands of Miao girls entering. Can Great God Mu find the Holy Maiden's location?"
"What's the rush? Can't you see that Prince Mu is surrounded by capable people? They're all helping him find someone."
On the viewing platform, Han Feng was even more anxious than Mu Achen on the field.
