Now that each of the four Oirans in the Accord has two women to support Li Nan and Zhou Bangyan, if you want to decide the winner of this gambling battle, you have to think of another idea.

As a qualified gentleman, Cai You is naturally very familiar with the affairs of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and immediately ordered someone to call the bustard's mother in the Fan Building.

"Set up a flower case?"

The bustard's mother, who was wearing heavy makeup, said with a difficult face: "Cai Yanei, it's not that the slave family doesn't give you face, but now is not the day to choose an oiran, how can you set up a flower case?" ”

Cai You explained with a smile: "I don't want to choose an oiran, tonight my brother Li Erlang wants to decide the winner of the poem with Zhou Caizi, so I want you to set up two flower cases outside the building." In this way, you can not only let the people of Tokyo help decide the victory, but also let you Fan Lou collect money, why don't you do it? ”

After hearing Cai You's words, the greedy bustard's mother suddenly brightened her eyes, and she immediately praised: "Cai Yanei is really smart, everyone, please wait, the slave family will go to arrange the flower case immediately!" ”

The so-called flower case is the means used to select the Oiran on the seventh day of the seventh month of July every year.

There are countless brothels in Tokyo, and there are many excellent **, how to choose the best among the flowers, it depends on which beauty has many fans and wide financial resources.

The selection of the Oiran is also divided into auditions, preliminary rounds and semi-finals, and the girls who participate in the competition will stand on the set up stage to perform their own tricks.

The people of Tokyo think that which girl is the candidate for the Oiran in their minds, they can buy different silk flowers on the sidelines and give them away, and finally count the number of silk flowers, and the most is naturally the Oiran.

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and after a while, two platforms were set up outside the gate of Fan Lou, and the bustard's mother specially sent a large number of miscellaneous servants in order to make more money, and the new word gambling and fighting were publicized in the market.

The Northern Song Dynasty Tokyo is a city that never sleeps, even at night, everywhere is brightly lit, tourists are weaving, lively and extraordinary, now after hearing this news, the nature of the good things of the people burst out, all gathered towards the Fan Tower.

Seeing that there were more and more people, Hua Xiangrong from Li Nan's side and Xie Suqiu from Zhou Bangyan's group immediately took the stage and sang those two new words.

There are Fan Lou's guys in the audience, and they began to sell silk flowers worth a consistent price, the yellow chrysanthemum represents Xie Suqiu, and the red peony is a flower.

Looking at the grand scene downstairs by the railing, Cai You said with some worry: "This week, the old dog obviously bought Xie Suqiu just now, do you think he will repeat his old tricks and make a fuss about silk flowers?" ”

Since there has been a shady scene of bribing the judges in front of him, Li Nan naturally thought of the trick of swiping tickets, and asked: "I don't know what the family background of the talented man is this week?" ”

Cai You sneered: "Zhou Bangyan is a poor ghost. To put it mildly, he is the promotion of Dasheng Mansion, but in fact he is the leader of a court musician, his little money is not enough to drink by himself, if it weren't for some literary talents, he wouldn't even be able to get into Cui Niannu's bed. ”

"In that case, why should Brother Ju An worry?"

Cai You explained: "Erlang doesn't know, this week Bangyan has now taken refuge in Zhao Tingzhi, and the people of the Zhao Party are like fire and water with my Cai family, and you and I are together, so I estimate that for the sake of Zhao Party's momentum and face, Zhao Tingzhi and others will definitely secretly help him suppress you." ”

Li Nan looked at the endless flow of people downstairs and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, I have the confidence to blow up the other party's chrysanthemum." ”

The current prime minister Zhao Tingzhi is a person who is single-handedly promoted by Cai Jing, but after he ascended to a high position, the first thing he did was to start attacking his benefactor Cai Jing.

If the people of the Cai family hate anyone the most, it must be this Zhao Tingzhi Zhao Xianggong, who also knows a lot about his methods, Cai You, the eldest son of Cai Jing.

At this time, Zhao Tingzhi, who was still feasting in Fanlou Accord, also knew about the gambling fight.

After listening to the two new words, he was silent, and after half a ring, he summoned his henchmen and ordered: "Go to the house and get a thousand yuan, and buy chrysanthemums for Xie Suqiu." ”

Counseling doctor Li Ge is also a member of the Zhao Party, and when he saw Zhao Tingzhi's actions at this time, he said with some surprise: "Zhao Xianggong, do you think Zhou Meicheng will fail?" ”

Zhao Tingzhi did not answer his words directly, but said to the handsome young man next: "Meng Chang, what do you think? ”

Gently putting down the rice paper with two new words written in his hand, Wang Mengchang said in an affirmative tone: "Zhou Meicheng will fail!" ”

Li Ge has been ruining most of his life, and the most unseen thing is that those young people are gaining power, and at this time, seeing Zhao Tingzhi attaching so much importance to this young man, he was immediately dissatisfied.

He rebuked loudly: "You yellow-mouthed child, how can you say such a fallacy! Zhou Meicheng's new poem melts into the rhythm with Tang sentences, the rhyme is majestic, desolate and tragic, and it is all over the ancient and modern. Jinling nostalgic words are innumerable in ancient and modern times, and if you want to take the beauty of this word as a swan song, how can the kid's broken words be compared. ”

In the face of Li Ge's accusation, the young man explained with a smile: "The kid didn't say that Zhou Tiju's new words were bad, but his lyrics used Liu Yuxi's most famous "Stone Town", "Wuyi Lane" and the poetry of Gu Yuefu's "Mo Chou Le". May I ask you, Lord Li, do you know how many people in Tokyo City, outside the Fan Tower, can understand these sources, and how many people can understand the meaning? ”

Although Li Ge faintly felt that there was some truth in what Wang Mengchang said, the older this person was, the more stubborn he became, and he still argued loudly: "I am a great Song person, and the people of Tokyo are full of poetry and books, so they naturally know what good words are!" ”

In the face of such a stubborn counselor, even the good-natured Wang Mengchang couldn't help but be slightly angry and said: "That's it, then you will see how many Tokyo people outside will understand!" ”

When the two argued fiercely, the other Zhao Dang people present had already understood what Wang Mengchang and Zhao Tingzhi meant, and they all recruited their followers to advise.

As everyone expected, the outside event at this time was extremely unfavorable to Zhou Bangyan.

Hua Xiangrong and Xie Suqiu take turns to sing new words, since the two women are both Oiran, their appearance and figure belong to the top, which can be regarded as equal, and now the competition is the singing skills of the two and the meaning of the words.

There are obviously fewer people in Tokyo who are full of poetry and books than Li Ge imagined, especially at this time, most of the people who are gathered in front of the Fan Tower to watch the excitement are businessmen, officials and their children who have some spare money, and there are really not many people who have real talents and learning.

Therefore, many onlookers in Tokyo prefer the easy-to-understand rolling Yangtze River to the east, and have little interest in Jinling nostalgia, which can't figure out too much meaning.

As time passed, the time to the end of the game was getting closer and closer, and the number of silk flowers on the two sides of the platform was quite different, thousands of red peony flowers covered the wooden platform where the flowers wanted to be placed, while Xie Suqiu's yellow chrysanthemums were only a few dozens.

Seeing that there was still half an hour before the end of the game, two men dressed in black suddenly came, these two people didn't say a word, bought a thousand chrysanthemums and threw them at Xie Suqiu's feet.

Then strange men continued to appear, either a hundred or three hundred, and in the blink of an eye, the yellow chrysanthemums overshadowed the red peonies.

Cai You, who was standing upstairs watching the battle, saw that the form was not good, and scolded repeatedly: "Damn it! This must be the Zhao Party's people who made a move, these shameless bastards! ”

Li Nan looked at his side, the eldest son of the traitor Cai Jing scolded others for being shameless, and he couldn't help but have a strange feeling in his heart.

Shaking his head and throwing the strange feeling aside, Li Nan took two glasses of wine from the handmaiden's hand, handed Cai You a glass, and said with a smile: "Brother Ju'an, don't be impatient, I have already made arrangements, let's drink wine and enjoy the fun of stealing the tower." ”

"Huh? What is stealing a tower? ”

"Hahaha......" Li Nan said with ruthlessness in his eyes: "The so-called stealing the tower is to kill the other party at the last moment!" ”
