Chapter 580: Oiran Contest (Part I)
On March 15th, the postponed Jiangnan Oiran Contest was grandly held, and the whole Yangzhou city was very lively, and the area around the Surabaya River was crowded with people, with pedestrians on the shore side by side, and boats coming and going on the river.
The stage of the Oiran Contest was set up in the center of the river near the Tongsi Bridge, and the competition was in full swing at this time, with the warm spring breeze filled with the aroma of fat powder, and the sound of silk and bamboo and cheers came and went.
In fact, the Oiran Contest starts in the morning, but the morning is only equivalent to the audition, which is really nothing to see, the judges will select the top 30 beauties according to the appearance and temperament of the contestants, and then these 30 beauties will participate in the afternoon competition, and finally determine the top 10 of the Oiran Contest. Therefore, the afternoon session of the Oiran Contest is the main event, and generally people with status will choose to wait for the afternoon to watch it.
Xu Jin also arrived in the afternoon, in addition to bringing Xie Sangun and Zhao Datou for personal protection, the two pretty maids in early spring and early summer also came to join in the fun. Xu Jin didn't want to bring these two little cabbages out, but he couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard soaking of Nannizi in early summer, so he had to reluctantly agree.
In front of the stage, there is a huge building boat, and the second floor of the building ship is undoubtedly the best viewing position, and Xu Jin's seat is arranged here.
"I've seen Lord Xu!"
"I've seen Lord Xu!"
When Xu Jin came to the second floor of the building ship, Shi Haoran and Jiang Ping officials left their seats one after another to salute, only Lingbi Marquis Tang Shaozong sat on the seat with a calm face, ignoring Xu Jin's arrival.
Xu Jin was also unimpressed, and after greeting the officials, he calmly sat down in his place, and quickly placed refreshments and fruits on the coffee table in early spring and early summer. At this time, Tang Shaozong couldn't help but glance slightly, and when he saw the two twin "scholars" beside Xu Jin, he couldn't help but show a trace of eagerness, this product is a good man, in addition to the double-digit wives and concubines in the family, there are also several male pets.
Although the volume of this bow ship is huge, the deck on the second floor cannot accommodate too many people, so those who are qualified to stay on the second floor at this moment, except for a few high-level officials, are the judges of this Oiran competition.
There are a total of ten judges in the competition, namely: Lingbi Hou Tang Shaozong, Yan Yun Envoy Shi Haoran, Prefect Jiang Ping, Ganquan Academy, Anding Academy, Guangling Academy, Yangzhou Fuxue Professor Wei Yang, Wu Zhong Three Talents (Tang Bohu, Wen Zhengming, Zhu Zhishan).
Originally, the prefect Jiang Ping also invited Xu Jin to be a judge, but Xu Jin once said that he would not be a judge, so he rejected Jiang Ping's proposal. In fact, Xu Jin just wanted to listen to Wang Cuiqiao's tune today, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to participate.
In addition, officials with a slightly lower rank, as well as representatives of the three major merchant gangs, watched the game on the first deck of the building.
As time went on, audiences gathered on both sides of the Surabaya River, boats were moored on the river around the stage, and savvy vendors weaved their way through the crowd, selling snacks and flower ornaments.
Knock knock knock...... Bang!
With the sound of three drums and a gong, the noisy scene gradually quieted down, and a middle-aged scribe who resembled a master of ceremonies jumped onto the stage from a small boat, shook his head and chanted loudly: "In the second year of Jiajing, in the middle of Yangchun March, when the remnants of red retreated. In the city of Yangzhou, on the banks of the Surabaya River, the willows are still around, the wind is fine, and the salty collection is ......"
"Don't be sour, we're here to see the beauty like jade, let's talk a few words of nonsense, let's start quickly!"
Seeing that the scribe on the stage was gushing endlessly, an anxious audience began to clamour, but the scribe on the stage was good-natured and still read the opening prologue unhurriedly, and then announced the official start of the Oiran Contest.
The middle-aged scribe retreated to the boat, and the first beautiful woman took the stage in full costume. This beautiful woman's name is Green Lotus, about seventeen or eighteen years old, petite and delicate, and her appearance is also very sweet and lovely, she danced on the stage and finally won only two baskets of flowers. However, the beautiful woman happily returned to her flower boat with two baskets of flowers.
Xu Jin asked and found out that each judge present had ten flower baskets in their hands, one flower basket represented one hundred taels of silver, and the woman named Green Lotus just now got two flower baskets, which was equivalent to two hundred taels of silver, no wonder she smiled so happily, two hundred taels of silver was enough to make up for her expenses in this competition, and she made a lot of money.
Followed by a beautiful woman, her figure was exceptionally plump, and she deliberately exposed a large area of snow-white skin on her chest, and her "trembling and leisurely" appearance instantly won the applause of the house, however, this woman made a mistake when playing the piano music, and finally only got a flower basket.
Most of the ten beauties who appeared next only got one or two flower baskets, and only a famous prostitute named Dong Qianqian got four flower baskets, which is the highest score so far.
Xu Jin found an interesting phenomenon, that is, Tang Bohu's goods, as long as he saw which beauty did not get the flower basket, he was sure to give away one of his flower baskets, and the big-breasted girl who played the piano mistakes before was a flower basket given by this goods, so now there are only four flower baskets left in his hand.
Obviously, Tang Bohu, the old ticket passenger, is indeed a warm man who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, but he is not a qualified judge, and it is estimated that if there are a few more appearances, all ten flower baskets of this goods will have to be sent away.
"The next performance is the girl who is drunk in the spring breeze, Lily Higashino!"
With the middle-aged scribe's loud shout, a bow flower boat slowly approached the stage, and then, a snow-white thigh stepped onto the stage, and everyone present couldn't help but breathe tightly, their eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet, staring closely at the thigh like white jade......
Soon, another jade leg also stepped down, and a graceful woman stood on the stage, but this woman covered her face with a fan, and she couldn't see what she looked like.
Xu Jin couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, not because of this woman's hot body that makes people squirt blood, but because this woman's dress is very "trendy", the lower body is only wearing a small skirt, and the two white thighs are completely exposed to the air, and the upper body is even more amazing, it is actually a bodysuit with a crop top, and the anger on the chest is almost torn out.
If this kind of costume is in the later generations, it is really nothing, a bikini or something is more revealing than this, but in the Ming Dynasty five hundred years ago, it was undoubtedly shocking, even if the Qinglou woman was dressed like this in public, it also stunned the people present, of course, there are many men with nosebleeds.
There was a deathly silence all around, and Lingbi Hou Tang Shaozong's eyes were about to pop out, and his eyes lingered between the legs and chest of the woman on the stage in a daze. Xu Jin sat next to him, and he could clearly hear the sound of the thing's coarse breathing.
Salt Yun made Shi Haoran and the prefect Jiang Ping no better, their eyes showed a hint of heat, both of them had tasted the ecstasy of Ono Lily, this is a fairy-like woman who sucks bones and eats marrow, which makes people want to stop.
"Phew, shameless!" After the shock of early spring and early summer, his face turned red, and he secretly scolded this Dongye Lily for not being ashamed, but seeing that his master had clear eyes, the two pretty maids were relieved, and at the same time glanced at Shi Haoran and the others with disdain.
