Chapter 1176: A Fair Move
"Lord, lords, the villain is the steward of this Oiran Conference, and the distinguished guests on the second floor will be presented with a golden flower." When the last Qing man took the stage to perform, a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face walked into room No. 1 and said to Li Yuntian, Xue Wu and others with a smile on his face.
The middle-aged man with a Chinese character face is followed by two maids, each holding a tray on which are flowers woven from gold leaf, which is commonly referred to as "golden flowers".
According to the rules of the Jiangnan Oiran Conference, who gets the most golden flowers in the Qing Dynasty who performs in the sky, then who will win the throne, in the face of the golden flowers worth a thousand taels of silver, ordinary people can't bear it at all, this is a rich game that only people in the upper class can participate.
Li Yuntian had already experienced an Oiran Conference, so he naturally knew the rules of the Oiran Conference, so he took the lead in picking up a golden flower from the tray, and Xue Wu and the others then also took their own golden flowers.
Unlike the guests in the lobby and other private rooms on the second floor, Li Yuntian would definitely not invest his money in golden flowers, so he only needed one.
And because of Li Yuntian's existence, Xue Wu and the others could not participate in the next flower sending ceremony, so they would only throw a golden flower.
Xue Wu and the others held the golden flower in their hands and looked at Li Yuntian quietly, wondering which Qingqi person Li Yuntian voted for the golden flower, so that they could follow behind and vote the golden flower to the Qingqi person.
However, Li Yuntian did not cast the golden flower in his hand, but put the golden flower on the table in front of him, and then enjoyed the performance on the stage in the lobby with great interest.
When the performance of the Qing people is over, according to the rules, the top three Qing people of the last Oiran Conference will take the stage one after another, and the VIPs will take advantage of this time to decide which Qing Qi people to vote for their respective golden flowers.
Xue Wu saw that Li Yuntian did not mean to vote for the golden flower in his hand, and knew that Li Yuntian did not want to let people know his choice too early, so as not to affect the election of the leader, so he gave a look to several nobles present, and voted for the golden flower in his hand to the Qing people he liked.
The Qingqi people who can enter the eyes of Xue Wu and others naturally only have Butterfly Dance and Ziyin, and coincidentally, Liang Shui has won the three noble golden flowers of the No. 1 room of the first word, which can be described as equally divided.
When the top three performances of the last Oiran Conference ended, the number of golden flowers obtained by the Qing people of this Oiran Conference has been counted.
According to the old rules of the Oiran Conference, the master of ceremonies of the conference will only announce the top three Qingqi people with the number of golden flowers obtained, and then according to the number of votes, the Jikui, Yakui and the leader of the Oiran Conference will be announced in turn.
It is worth mentioning that, for the sake of fairness, the rules of the contest have been revised so that the VIPs who come to the Oiran will only be able to cast a maximum of five golden flowers, so as to ensure that the top three personnel selected are the best Cleaners of the Iran Tournament, so as not to make it difficult for the selected Cleaners to convince the public.
However, when the top three Qingqi people appear, if someone is willing to spend money to praise the Qingqi people who think they are the best, then there is no limit to the amount of money.
So, although the emcee has not yet begun to announce, the people at the scene have already guessed that Butterfly Dance and Ziyin must be in the top three.
"You say, who can win the first place this time, Butterfly Dance Girl or Purple Sound Girl?" In the crowd in the lobby, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe asked his companions with great interest, it had been a long time since he had encountered such a fierce competition.
"The two girls are equal, each with their own strengths, and it is difficult to judge." A middle-aged man on the side shook his head, looking a little embarrassed, and he couldn't tell who was better, Butterfly Dance or Ziyin, so he voted for two people and two golden flowers each.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you feel that the scene in front of you seems to be similar, the dispute between the Butterfly Dance Girl and the Purple Sound Girl is not like the Lady Hongluan and the Purple Juan Girl back then?" At this time, another middle-aged man asked with a smile, it was obvious that he had experienced the exciting battle between Hongluan and Zijuan.
"You say, will Lady Hongluan and Miss Purple Juan get the same number of golden flowers this time?" Hearing this, another middle-aged man couldn't help but ask with great interest.
Speaking of this, several middle-aged people couldn't help but look up at the No. 1 room on the second floor, Li Yuntian's identity was too noble, enough to suppress other civil and military elites, so the person who finally decided to be the leader should be Li Yuntian.
"It's coming!" Soon after, an excited voice sounded in the lobby, and the master of ceremonies led three Qingqi people into the door, and it was obvious that these three Qingqi people were the top three of tonight's Oiran Conference.
As people at the scene speculated, Butterfly Dance and Ziyin really ranked among the top three, but I don't know which of the two got the more golden flowers.
Another Qingqi person is from Suzhou Prefecture, and her ranking has actually been determined, and she is definitely the Ji Kui of this year's Oiran Conference, because she is obviously not as good as Butterfly Dance and Ziyin.
Things were as everyone expected, this Qingqi from Suzhou Prefecture won the Ji Kui of this year's Oiran Conference, and when the master of ceremonies announced that the number of flowers she got ranked third, the scene was silent, and no one gave her the number of golden flowers.
Everyone was waiting to see who would win Butterfly Dance and Ziyin, so no one took the extra step to cast a golden flower for this Qingqi person from Suzhou Prefecture, so as not to waste everyone's time.
Ji Kui's prize was a seal made of pure gold, engraved with the word "Ji Kui" and the year, month and sunset, and a green gem on the top of the seal.
Like the seals of the Oiran Convention in previous years, the seals of Kuiyuan and Aqui are the same size as those of Ji Kui, except that the seal is engraved with "Oiran" and "Akui" on the surface of the seal, the top of the seal of Aqui is inlaid with a blue gem, and the top of the Oiran seal is inlaid with a red gem, which is a symbol of status and reputation.
"According to the statistics of the number of flowers, the butterfly dance girl and the purple girl get the same number of flowers, and this situation has only been encountered once since the Jiangnan Oiran Conference was held!"
After announcing that the Qingqi people from Suzhou Mansion had won the Ji Kui of this year's Oiran, the master of ceremonies glanced around at the scene, and then said loudly, "In order to distinguish the winners and losers, please choose the Qingqi people who have not yet voted for the golden flower." ”
As he spoke, the master of ceremonies looked up at Room No. 1, among all the golden flowers that were sent, only the one in Li Yuntian's hand was not used, and his previous words were naturally for Li Yuntian.
As for the Oiran conference that he encountered in his mouth, it was naturally the one in which Hongluan and Zijuan participated, but Hongluan is now the concubine of the Zhongwang Mansion, so the master of ceremonies did not name him in order to avoid it.
Hearing this result, there was a commotion in the lobby, and people whispered to each other, looking at Room A No. 1 from time to time, everyone had already guessed this result, so they were not surprised by it.
Butterfly Dance and Ziyin had already prepared in their hearts, and they had already realized in advance that there would be a tie, in addition to the similarity of the strength of the two, it was also related to Li Yuntian's existence, so in this way, the ownership of the Oiran was in the hands of Li Yuntian......
In the crowd on the side of the lobby, Zhang's mother looked nervously at Room A, a golden flower of Li Yuntian would decide the fate of Butterfly Dance and Ziyin.
Compared with Zhang's mother, Liu's mother, who was standing on the side, looked very calm, and the expression on her face was a little complicated, although she didn't want to see the scene in front of her, but this scene still inevitably happened, and Li Yuntian once again held the decision power of Oiran in his hands.
In the No. 1 room on the second floor, Li Yuntian picked up the golden flower on the table with some helplessness, he was unwilling to get involved in the competition for the Oiran, but now it seems that he has to throw the golden flower in his hand, he doesn't think that it is a coincidence that the number of butterfly dance and purple sound flowers are the same, someone must have secretly contributed to this matter.
After a deep groan, Li Yuntian whispered a few words to Lin Xin, who was standing aside, and Lin Xin bowed down and walked out.
"He just received a request from the distinguished guest who has the last golden flower, and in order to separate the kuiyuan of this Oiran conference, he hopes that the two girls can try their dancing and piano skills, and the winner will get the golden flower in his hand."
Soon, a girl from Baihualou walked up to the prince and said a few words in the emcee's ear, and the emcee turned to Butterfly Dance and Ziyin, and asked in a loud voice, "I don't know what the two girls think?" ”
"I'm willing to give it a try!" Butterfly Dance and Ziyin were surprised at first, and then they invariably said to the master of ceremonies, I have to say that this is a fair way.
Hearing that Butterfly Dance and Ziyin were going to compete head-to-head, the people at the scene suddenly showed excited looks, and no one thought that Li Yuntian would come up with such a good idea that could best convince the public.
"Since the butterfly girl has just finished dancing, she is allowed to rest for half an hour, during which time you are invited to comb your hair." Seeing this, the master of ceremonies announced loudly that the so-called combing of hair is to spend money to buy out the first night of the Qing people, and this money is worth a lot of money, and those rich and powerful magnates don't care about how much money is spent, just for a pleasure.
Although the master of ceremonies didn't say it, everyone at the scene knew that it was Li Yuntian who didn't vote for the golden flower, since Li Yuntian let Diewu and Ziyin compete, it means that he is not interested in other Qingqi people, so the magnates present can let go of their courage to bid as much as they want, in order to return the beauties they want to hug, so that they can not only try new things but also show off in front of people and earn a lot of face.
Li Yuntian really didn't have much interest in the next bidding, and talked and laughed with Xue Wu and the others there, which made it difficult for Xue Wu and the others to bid to win those Qingqi people, but they didn't worry about women, and naturally they wouldn't take those Qingqi people to heart.
In the backyard of Baihualou, Butterfly Dance and Ziyin were resting in each room, although the two had a hunch that there might be a tie, but they didn't expect Li Yuntian to use this way to decide the Oiran of this year's Oiran Conference, which gave the two a chance to compete.
"Daughter, wait for the repertoire of your competition to be set by the prince himself, this is a test for you and Ziyin, you must calm down." Zhang's mother was a little worried, and whispered in Diewu's ear.
Speaking of which, the butterfly dance suffers in terms of physical strength, although the butterfly dance has a half-hour rest time, but because the previous dance consumes a lot of physical strength, it is difficult for the butterfly dance's physical strength to recover all in half an hour.
But this is also a helpless thing, after all, Butterfly Dance is good at dancing and purple sound rhythm, which makes Butterfly Dance consume more physical strength during the competition, and Li Yuntian has taken special care of letting her rest for half an hour.
"Mom, rest assured, my daughter will go all out and live up to her mother's trust." Diewu smiled slightly, and opened her mouth to comfort Zhang's mother, although she was also nervous now, she couldn't show it.
For the leader of this year's Oiran Conference, the butterfly dance is inevitable, and only after winning the championship can she get close to Li Yuntian, so as to have a greater influence, and then save her family from the sea of suffering.
At the same time, in another room, Mother Liu didn't say anything to Ziyin, but just let Ziyin hold her breath there to regulate her mood.
Mother Liu stood in front of the window and looked at the shadows of the trees in the courtyard and fell into deep thought, the competition between Butterfly Dance and Ziyin reminded her of the competition between Hongluan and Zijuan back then, how similar it is to today's situation.
It's just that Zijuan's fate was a little worse back then, Li Yuntian directly voted for Jinhua to Hongluan, and today it depends on the true skills of Butterfly Dance and Ziyin, which made her feel an inexplicable sadness in her heart, and her mood was extremely complicated.
