Volume 1 Luo Qi is full of spring in the city Chapter 70 Facing difficulties

(Thanks: moshaocong, cola with some ice, have thoughts about you, magical golden beetle, 100 possibilities, Ah Liang 01, don't read the floating sama, book friend 5955156, infinite sacred, and other brothers' rewards and tickets.) )

Chu Xiangxiang's appearance is tantamount to a disaster for the remaining Qinglou who have not yet appeared to perform. There is Ai Zhenzhen Gu Panpan in the front, and Chu Xiangxiang in the back. The limelight has been stolen by them. For the hundreds of thousands of people who are here tonight, in fact, the Oiran Contest can be said to be settled, and the Oiran must be produced among Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan Ai Zhenzhen, which even the Qinglou participating in it is like a mirror.

In view of the fact that before Chu Xiangxiang, several Qinglou red cards were abnormal due to excessive pressure, rather than risking not to become famous but to fall in value, it is better to give up the appearance smartly. In this case, giving up the game is not only a wise way to protect oneself, but also a way to recognize the opponent's strong humility, which will add points to the building.

As a result, the three Qinglou, who were supposed to play in the thirteenth and fourteenth places, reached a consensus and asked the conference to give up the competition. This kind of thing has happened in previous Oiran competitions, and it is not a big fuss. On the contrary, the jury thought that their abandonment was excusable, after all, Zhuyu was in front, and it was better to hide than to sacrifice ugliness.

The people also expressed their understanding, after watching the high-level skills, people only look forward to seeing the final results of the Oiran flower, and have no expectations for the red cards of the next few green buildings.

However, when Chu Xiangxiang's Wanhualou left the pontoon platform and returned to its original mooring, an inconspicuous flower boat with only a few red lanterns slowly appeared on the small pier on the side of the pontoon. At this time, everyone realized that there was still a Qinglou that had not given up on the competition and was ready to play.

“…… Whose flower boat is this? Isn't it interesting to have to play at this time? Isn't this being used as cannon fodder? ”

"It's like a ship from the Moon Tower. Mochizuki Tower has recently closed its doors for half a month, and I thought they had closed down, but I didn't expect to still come to participate in the Oiran Contest. However, in this case, I am afraid it will be difficult to change the established pattern. ”

"Isn't it hard to change, it's hard to shake? Although Xie Yingying is a bit famous, and her singing and dancing skills are also excellent, how can she compete with Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan tonight? Not at all on a scale. This delayed the early birth of the Oiran. Damn it. ”

"I can't say that, since Mochizuki Lou dares to insist on participating in the competition, it means that they are prepared. In terms of taking 10,000 steps back, this courage alone can be commendable, how can it be said that they are delaying time? ”

"Hey, you still don't have a hard mouth, you are so optimistic about them, how about we bet five taels of silver? Is it good to pay 10 for one? If they get an oiran, I'll give you fifty taels, but if they don't, you give me five taels. ”

"Bah, you're going to pick up the bargain, I'm just being fair, but you're going to earn my money. If you want to bet on you and others, I don't bet. It may seem like I'm making money, but I don't have any chance of winning. If that's the case, I'll give you five taels of silver directly, and you'll be grateful. ”

"Hahaha, you know you're going to lose. Look, I'm going to make a fool of myself. ”

When everyone in the audience was talking, Zhao Zimo, the emcee on the stage, had already begun to speak.

"The next person to compete is Miss Xie Yingying of Mochizuki Tower, hmm...... In view of the fact that the Peach Blossom Pavilion, Lanzhi Garden, and Mingyue Tower have all withdrawn from the competition, Mochizuki Tower is the last game of this competition. I hope that everyone at Mochizuki Tower will give this year's Oiran Contest a successful conclusion. Please! ”

The words fell, but I saw a large group of women on the bow of the red boat in the Moon Tower lining up and began to walk along the wide gangplank to the floating platform. Some of these people carried bundles of curtains, some carried cages, some carried baskets, some held vases, and some carried screens. Anyway, it looks like you're moving.

The audience was also confused for a while.

"What? What is Mochizuki Tower for? Isn't it a show? How did you get so many things? Do you set up a stall to sell goods? ”

"Yes, do you want food to escape from the famine? So many people are hula-la-la, is this all of them trying to be an Oiran? I'll just say it's nothing to look at, I'm most afraid that the last one will be bad, and sure enough, this Oiran contest will still have a moth at the last moment. ”

“……”

Zhao Zimo was also very surprised, and looked at a group of people from the Moon Tower who walked towards the floating platform. Xie Danhong walked forward quickly with a small brocade box in her hand, and walked up to Zhao Zimo to give a salute.

"Mother Xie, what are you doing here?" Zhao Zimo frowned and asked.

Xie Danhong hurriedly stepped forward and said a few words to Zhao Zimo, Zhao Zimo frowned, stroked his beard and said: "I'm afraid I want to ask the opinion of the judges, so let's ask for you, if you allow it, let you continue." If not, I can't do it. ”

Xie Danhong blessed and said: "Thank you Mr. Zhao, please Mr. Zhao for a few kind words." ”

Zhao Zimo sighed, turned around and walked from the pontoon bridge on the south side to the small pontoon where the judges' seat was located. Everyone in the judging seat was also surprised, and when they saw Zhao Zimo coming, several old men asked in a gossiping manner: "What kind of fame is Mochizuki Tower going to do?" Why don't you start yet? ”

Zhao Zimo bowed down and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, gentlemen." Here's something that needs your approval. Mochizuki's mother just told me that they need to set up the stage and put on some of their own background facilities. In addition, their performance tonight is a play, and the time is probably about half an hour. It's a bit long. Not...... The judges wondered if they would be allowed to do so. If they are allowed, they will be given time to set up and perform, and if not, they will be asked to change the program or directly disqualified from acting. I would also like to ask you to decide. ”

"What's the trick? What kind of play did you come here to perform? Will it take half an hour? Don't let it go, it's just nonsense! ”

Someone immediately spoke out against it, and several judges followed suit, their mood was actually similar to that of the people in the audience, and there was no need for the latter to appear, and Mochizuki Lou didn't know the current affairs, but it was just a waste of time.

"Who says you can't compete in a play? The Oiran Contest doesn't seem to have such rules, right? Fang Dunru asked out loud.

"There is no such rule. But no one has ever done that. And if it's half an hour, it's really more than the allotted time. Basically, each family will not exceed the time of one stick of incense, if it is half an hour, will the fifteen green buildings have to wait until tomorrow morning? Huang Lin said in a deep voice.

Fang Dunru shook his head and said, "The old man doesn't see it that way. Since it is a competition, the time limit is a bit inappropriate. But since the tournament has this rule, there is nothing wrong with it. However, the latter three have already given up the competition, so there is actually plenty of time. These three families plus the time of a stick of incense in the Moon Tower itself are counted as an hour, and they only occupy half an hour, and there is no additional extension. Lord Yan, what do you think? ”

The prefect of Hangzhou, Yan Zhengsu, was also a member of the judging table, and he was the chief official of Hangzhou, representing the official participation. However, he does not take the dominant opinion in the judging panel, and in some previous judgments, he will not interfere with the opinions of others, which is also his attitude of respecting the many non-official non-official people on the judging table.

But Fang Dunru asked about his opinion, and Yan Zhengsu did have his own ideas.

"Hmm...... There is really nothing to dwell on in this matter, and the Oiran Contest is a grand event with the people. In Yan's view, the most important thing is to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, enjoy the government and the people, promote the name of Hangzhou's prosperity, and reflect the positive attitude of the people of Hangzhou who live a prosperous and stable life. Let Yan say that as long as it meets the above purposes, there is nothing to do. As Fang Shan said just now, there is actually no delay in time, and since Mochizuki Tower is doing this, it is obviously prepared. Yan didn't want the repertoire they had prepared, but they were forced to give up because of these inconsequential things. ”

Several judges nodded in agreement. Although Yan Zhengsu himself is actually very old-fashioned, he is not interested in these bells and whistles Oiran competitions or anything. But his words are the attitude he should have as a parent official in Hangzhou. Whether he likes it or not, as long as it is beneficial to the Hangzhou side, he will not reject it.

"In this way, the scholar is the chief, and he is also the most respected person here, and the scholar Yuan has an idea, otherwise it will be time-consuming for everyone to talk about it. So many people are waiting. Tang Yu said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded and said, "What I said is that Master Yuan has an idea." ”

Yuan Xiandao stroked his beard and smiled: "The old man doesn't dare to make a statement, the old man only has one thing to share with you." Old man, there is a poem here, you can pass it on and see it. ”

Yuan Xiandao reached out and took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Tang Yu beside him. Tang Yu glanced at it and said with a smile: "I remember this poem, let's show it to others." ”

The piece of paper with a poem on it quickly turned around the judges' seat and returned to Yuan Xiandao's hand. Everyone knows poetry, and they are all amazed.

"How is this song "A Cut of Plums" written?" Yuan Xiandao said with a smile.

Fang Dunru said in a deep voice: "This should be a rare masterpiece in recent years. Whose words are these? The person who wrote such a wonderful word must be a famous person, right? Could it be the new work of Yuan University? ”

Yuan Xiandao laughed and said: "The old man can't write such delicate words to the bones, and it is difficult for the old man to ask himself about the subtlety of this word." That's it, the old man doesn't play dumb riddles, this poem was written by Xie Yingying from Mochizuki Tower in the preliminaries. ”

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

Several judges, including Fang Dunru, Yan Zhengsu and others, were surprised.

"If it is fake, such as Master Tang, Master Huang and others who were present at the time, how dare the old man talk nonsense. To be honest, the old man was skeptical at first, but Xie Yingying admitted that she did it herself, and the old man looked at the handwriting of the first word, but it also looked like a woman's handwriting. The old man thought that she should not lie. So based on this poem, do we still have to discuss whether Mochizuki Tower should be played? I don't know what you think, anyway, the old man is looking forward to Xie Yingying's performance, but she promised the old man, and there is a new song announced today. ”

"Oh!"

Everyone has no objections, with this poem, Xie Yingying is naturally worth looking forward to. And if this word is really written by her, then this Xie Yingying is not only a Qinglou woman, but a talented girl. Among all the skills possessed by the women of the Qinglou, literary talent is the most valued by the sons and gentlemen, and it is the most difficult to have. You can learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and dance skills can be practiced hard, but literary talent is not something you can practice hard, it is something that cannot be seen or touched.

A woman in Qinglou who can write good poems and lyrics is in line with the highest enjoyment of spiritual and physical integration and communication that men expect when they interact with them. This kind of woman is also the most popular kind in the Qinglou.
