After Xianglan's dance, she also walked to the front of the stage and thanked Wei Guogong. Although the veil has not been lifted, there is love between the eyebrows.

Being in the dust, wearing a mask is already a basic skill, although Xu Pengju is old, he still treats him like a lover, and it is no wonder that Xu Pengju wants to be her big financier.

With Xianglan's withdrawal, this comparison about "piano" came to an end.

The organizer of this time is Yangzhou New Chamber of Commerce, and a middle-aged man came to the stage and announced the ranking of the piano skills competition with everyone. The ranking is already obvious, with Xianglan at the top and Qilan in second.

When Wei Guogong heard this result, he also pretended to accept it to Lin Haoran, and he looked like the oiran had fallen on Xianglan's head.

"What do you think Lin Haoran's reaction will be now?"

"What else can I react, I can only sit there and lose face!"

"It's a joke that he wants Kiran to win the Oiran!"

……

Chen Boren and the others looked at this result and seemed to be in a good mood, and they had already decided that Oiran must belong to pandan.

Although their power is far inferior to Lin Haoran, when it comes to money, Lin Haoran is far from enough. Now with the backbone of Wei Guogong, the Oiran is still a small game they manipulate.

In the hall of this flower boat, in addition to the big salt merchants such as Chen Boren, Fan Qianshan and Yang Dashi, there are also local squires from all over the world who come here to participate in the Oiran competition.

The Zhang family in Taixing also came, Zhang Yuanwai only arrived in Yangzhou from Taixing yesterday, and then asked Yang Dashi next to him: "Brother Yang, what has this Lord Qincha done recently?" ”

Yang Dashi raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Yuanwai, and said in a weird manner: "People know how to be merry and happy, he takes that beautiful concubine to the mountains and rivers every day, I'm afraid I'm going to get drunk in Yangzhou!" ”

"Didn't you say that he came down to rectify the salt administration? He plays like this, isn't he afraid that someone will participate in him? Next to Zhang Yuanwai was another squire, but he asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, many squires also looked over, and they also felt strange about this "inaction" messenger.

Yang Dashi sighed secretly in his heart, and said indignantly: "Not to mention who dares to join him now?" If he moves his mouth now, the people below will break their legs. The salt factory said that it would adopt a new salt production method, and the officials of the salt factory were worried about the black yarn hat, and now they are trying to help promote the new salt production method. He said that the Yangzhou Oiran Contest was to be held in Slender West Lake, and the Yangzhou Mansion and Jiangdu County were all helping with this, and now the officials in Yangzhou have become soft eggs who run errands for him! ”

But no matter how they belittled this Lord Qincha, they had to admit that Lin Haoran was already in control of the entire Yangzhou, and even the officials of the Huaiyan system were all subservient.

For example, Lin Haoran implemented a new salt drying method in various salt factories, and those people under their control could slack off work, but they did not dare to hinder the implementation of this salt drying law. They initially asked several officials to choose to boycott, but Lin Haoran didn't say a word of nonsense and directly dismissed those officials.

It takes time and cost for them to harass officials, not to mention whether those officials dare to stand up and resist Lin Haoran, who is holding Shang Fang's sword, they also dare not be a mantis arm as a car.

Lin Haoran is completely different from his predecessor Dong Fen and Yan Maoqing, not to mention that the imperial court has a father-in-law who serves as the secretary of the ministry, and he has the power to directly dismiss and investigate the officials of the salt administration system.

It was this supreme power, coupled with his blows to Chen Xian, He Dongxu and Li Yu, that had the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, and now they did not dare to act rashly against Lin Haoran.

Now, they only hope that Lin Haoran will show that stupid move, so as to gather forces from all sides to deal a fatal blow to Lin Haoran.

"Will he affect our business like this?" Zhang Yuanwai's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked worriedly.

Yang Dashi was about to speak, but Chen Boren immediately coughed.

Everyone looked towards Chen Boren, who was the leader of their small group.

Chen Boren's face was gloomy, and he said lightly: "If there is anything, let's discuss it tomorrow!" ”

Zhang Yuanwai and the others nodded one after another, and immediately ended the topic, that is, they put their eyes back on the stage.

The Oiran Contest is still going on in an orderly manner, and the next step is the painting session.

On the stage of Nuoda, each Qinglou moved a desk, on which were placed the four treasures of the study, pen and paper, pen and black inkstone.

The twelve Qinglou women who participated in the competition had already arrived on the stage, and they sat at their desks with dignity. As the host asked people to light incense and announced the start, they began to paint.

There is also fierce competition in the Qinglou, and few women climb to the top position of the Qinglou just by their appearance. In addition to appearance, it is also necessary to cultivate literature and art, firstly, because most of the other parties served are talents and officials, and secondly, it can improve their status.

However, the Qinglou woman who was able to come this far was not a vase, even the orchid who was obviously selling meat just now, but she also painted a landscape painting rich in artistic conception.

Twelve girls with their own characteristics painted on the stage, and this scene was very pleasing to the eye.

It was the first time for Lin Haoran to participate in the Oiran Competition, and when she looked at the serious painting of these women, she suddenly had an illusion. These Qinglou women are participating in a imperial examination, and they are showing their years of hard work here.

It was this scene that gave him a new understanding of these Qinglou women. Maybe Oiran is a game, but behind them, there is already a lot of sweat.

A pillar of incense burned quickly, and as the host sternly shouted "stop", everyone put down the brush in their hands. But without exception, all of their paintings have been completed.

A group of judges took to the stage and began to comment on the paintings of the twelve Qinglou women and gave their ratings. They use five kinds of marks: "○", "△", "\", "1", and "×", and the one with the most "○" is the best.

At the end of the second link, the big black horse Yuqi was first, Qilan was second, and Xianglan fell to sixth, which made the black horse Yuqi get a lot of flowers.

As for the chess session, it was a small game with the judges, and the final rating was made by this chess master, which was also rated with five marks: "○", "△", "\", "1", and "×".

At the end of the third link, it was a slight surprise, but it was pandan who sold meat that won the first place.

However, those who are interested found that Xianglan did not use her feet to tease the chess judge under the table, thus winning the only highest score in the audience.

During this period, there were also people who kept sending flowers. Due to the support of Wei Guogong Xu Pengju and Xianglan's victory in chess, her number of flowers has always been in the lead.

The Oiran Contest has finally reached its final and most critical stage.

The "book" does not refer to calligraphy, but to the poems taken out by the contestants. If the front is a competition of money for benefactors, then this link is a competition of their talents.

It is precisely because of this that many contestants have asked talented people for poetry early on, and even at the expense of their bodies and money, hoping to get amazing works that will make them blockbusters today.

There is a reason why the Oiran Contest has been so popular today.
