422. Chapter 17
Back at the inn, Ye Huai waited at the door of the inn early, and when he saw Feng Qing and Xue Lang coming back with not good-looking faces, his heart sank, and he stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?" β
Xue Lang and Feng Qing looked at each other, and Feng Qing spoke: "We found the place where the wife was injured, it was a broken yard, where there was the blood of the wife, but the blood stains in other places seemed to have been washed away, we only found this piece of cloth, Xiao Tao Xiao Porcelain continued to look for clues, we were thinking, don't tell Shui Yi Shui Yun about her injury first." β
Ye Huai's face changed slightly: "Is it serious?" β
Xue Lang had a gloomy face and nodded, Ye Huai clenched his fists, and the three of them went back to the room together, and said to Yun Shuiyi that Xiao Tao Xiaoci had found a piece of fabric for Shui Yun, but unfortunately there were no more clues, and there were many times of disappointment, and it felt like that, Yun Shuiyi and the others were used to it.
Let's talk about Shui Yun's side, as soon as he finished taking a bath, Shui Yun was ready to rest, and suddenly heard the sound of big things hitting each other outside the door, Kapok went to get something, Shui Yun thought about it, and secretly walked to the door, opened a gap, and saw Zilan and a very beautiful woman in the opposite room arguing at the door, and there was a broken chair on the ground.
The woman had her back to Shui Yun, but Shui Yun looked at her back and felt that she must be very beautiful, but Shui Yun didn't understand why the person had a dispute with Zilan, could it be that the woman was Zilan's guest? Shui Yun secretly looked at the person, and accidentally bumped into Zilan's eyes, which was a mockery of Shui Yun, Shui Yun was stunned for a moment, hurriedly closed the door, covered his heart, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Tao Yao was going to give Shui Yun another waiter, but because Shui Yun sang such a song, Tao Yao was worried that the temporary waiter was unreliable, and it would be bad to leak the song when the time came, so now there is still only one kapok by Shui Yun's side, and Shui Yun also thinks it's okay, anyway, when Kapok goes out, she locks the door, and would rather trouble to open the door than be broken into inexplicably.
It turns out that Shui Yun is still very correct in doing this, Shui Yun just sat back on the couch and heard the sound of knocking on the door, and the sound of someone trying to open the door, Shui Yun was about to ask if it was Kapok, there was a faint muttering sound outside the door, the door of the next room was knocked open, Shui Yun leaned against the wall, heard the scream of the woman next door, and then someone went to shout Tao Yao, it seems that he went to the wrong door again.
Later, Kapok came back, saw the situation next door, and after knocking on the door with the frequency discussed with Shui Yun, Shui Yun opened the door, Kapok came in, looked Shui Yun up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Shui Yun asked what was wrong next door, Kapok looked at Shui Yun, and said: "I don't know which opponent sent that person, next door is a newcomer to our Hualou, and it was ruined, but fortunately you locked the door." β
"What's going on? Isn't the security in the building still secure? It's not that rich people can't go up to the third floor, right? Shui Yun felt that Kapok's words were very strange.
Kapok pouted and said: "Since that person was sent by someone else to make trouble, the person behind the scenes will definitely arrange everything for her, looking at the clothes on that person, it is indeed a rich man, but that person borrowed wine and pretended to be crazy, and deliberately ran up to make trouble, the young lady next door was originally going to appear as a half-hidden Oiran, but now many people downstairs have seen her appearance, and her worth is not high." β
Shui Yun's eyes widened and she was surprised: "There is such a thing, it's too surprising." β
Tao Yao finally settled the matter next door, saw that there were still figures moving in Shui Yun's room, knocked on the door and came in, and instructed Shui Yun a few words, nothing more than to close the door when there is no waiter around, and when there is a waiter, you must get closer to the waiter.
Shui Yun was a little puzzled: "Could it be that the young lady next door was scared because the waiter was not there?" β
Tao Yao was stunned for a moment, raised her hand and nodded her forehead: "As far as you talk a lot, the waiter in the next room is indeed present, but where can those waiters compare with Kapok?" Kapok is also good at martial arts, and if you encounter a troublemaker, you can still resist it for a while, right? Be content, O you. β
Shui Yun pouted: "I didn't say anything bad about Kapok." β
Tao Yao smiled, and ordered Kapok a few more words, and then left, Shui Yun was finally able to sleep peacefully, the medicine left by the person behind the scenes was indeed effective, plus the effect of the Ice and Fire Salamander, the wound on Shui Yun's body was no longer painful, but the scab was ugly.
Xiao Tao and Xiao Porcelain still returned in vain, but they would walk around the courtyard in the next few days, hoping to find any clues.
Shui Yun honestly stayed in the room and practiced singing with a few uncles, and a few days later, when the wound was almost healed, he was making a fuss to get up and exercise, in view of the fact that there were many people in the flower building who were monitoring him, Shui Yun did stretching exercises.
Shui Yun sang about the same song, and after the song was confirmed to be fine, everyone began to discuss together what clothes to wear when the Oiran would appear, what jewelry to bring, and stage rehearsals.
Tao Yao said that Shui Yun has the potential to be the protagonist, and the songs she sings are soft and amorous, so she asked people to prepare a pure white gauze skirt for her, I have to say that Shui Yun looks the best in white, which is in line with her clean temperament, and then created a jasper hairpin for Shui Yun.
Although basically everyone in the building added clothes and jewelry during that time, they were too 'famous' before Shui Yun, and everyone still paid a lot of attention to her, but Tao Yao paid a lot of attention to protecting Shui Yun, so except for Lan Ye at the beginning, there was really no one in the building who had ever seen Shui Yun.
As for going to the martial arts room before, Shui Yun went during the day, and everyone was sleeping at that timeγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Approaching the fifteenth, Shui Yun could feel that the atmosphere in the building was becoming more and more lively.
Soon the fifteenth arrived, and the stage for the Oiran Congress was built in a square in the capital, and the stage was a large round stage, followed by a square backstage surrounded by a curtain, where the performers were prepared, and the place opposite the intersection of the main road was the front, where many spectators were gathered.
The judges are all the people who are watching, and when the time comes, they will throw flowers into the huge flower basket outside the sedan chair where the beauty is located, and the names of the people sitting in the sedan chair are hung on the sedan curtains.
More than ten meters away from the stage, there are many attics around the stage, on which sit delicate men who are not good to appear in the crowd, and there are some nobles with special status, including those foreign envoys.
At the beginning, Yun Shuiyi and others thought about finding Shui Yun with the help of the envoys of these countries, after all, it is impossible for people in Yunyang Country to ignore Shui Yun, and Xue Lang's status in Xuezi Country is not low, but after everyone inquired, they learned that the status of those envoys is not very high, they are all literati from Hanlin Academy, and these people do not have a lot of power, so it is useless to find it.
Yun Shuiyi and the others were originally very strange why the birthday of the Empress of Hualan Kingdom, the characters sent by the other three countries were so civilian, and then one day I heard Yuyu complain, only to know that it was the Emperor Hua himself who told the world that her birthday did not want to become a venue for entertaining glass products, so let several other countries send people to mean it, she would not care too much about these.
The protagonist said so, and the queens of several countries didn't send any important people, and their countries also need to be supported by important people.
In this way, the empress of Hualan Country has a straight personality, Yun Shuiyi and a few people think that there are so many dignitaries and nobles attending the Oiran Conference, and the empress should also appear, so they sent Feng Qing and Xue Lang into the crowd, and Hongfeng and other women also mixed in, while the others chartered a room in the attic and watched the stage in the room.
The stewards of each flower building led a long string of delicate sedan chairs over, stopped around the stage, the staff put the flower baskets in front of the sedan chair, according to the order, each flower building will send their own beauties to the stage, the people next to the sedan chair are the characters needed for the beauty performance, and the beauties walk back to the sedan chair after the performance, waiting for the vote.
In order to ensure that the song will not be leaked, only the uncle who played the piano before knows the score, so he will accompany the water rhyme, and the other two uncles are actually here to support the scene.
The sedan chairs of each flower building are arranged, generally the first to go up is the most ordinary beauty, and then level by level, and the last out is the oiran of previous years, of course, if you think you have a better person than the previous oiran, you can also put it in the finale.
Other beauties are a little anxious, because the order of play still has a great impact on popularity, and if you play too early, no one will know who you are in the back.
This Oiran conference is very large, each flower building launches six beauties, there are eight flower buildings, each person performs for six minutes, the time is still very long, and, although the evening light is good, but the night lights can create a more beautiful atmosphere, so, everyone is looking forward to being able to go later.
At this time, Shui Yun didn't think about anything, but when she heard the uncles' explanations, she was a little speechless and thought, what should I do if I sit in the sedan chair for so many hours and go to the toilet? Running to the toilet in the spotlight really requires a strong heart.
Before coming, everyone had something to eat to cushion their stomachs, Shui Yun was not afraid of eating too much and affecting her figure, anyway, she was singing, as long as it didn't affect her voice, she could start singing when she moved a chair to the stage and sat down, it was much better than the dancing people, so Shui Yun ate a little too muchγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
