In the past two days, the Tokyo Morning Post has opened a special page to vigorously report on the grand occasion of the Oiran Contest, and to comment on the 10 Qinglou women who participated in the finals, analyzing their personal strengths and weaknesses. In particular, she made a key comment on Ning Zhihua in Ronghe Building, after all, she is a dark horse. The news is to hunt for curiosity, it not only reports in detail the growth process of Ning Zhihua, as well as her beautiful points, and says that its disadvantage is that it is currently younger than those predecessors, and does not have their extensive contacts, but also emphasizes the fact that "the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the back waves line the front waves on the beach".

The newspaper also reported some lace news painted by Ning Zhi, such as when she was a child, she spoke late and was a little stupid; When she sleeps, she has an indecent posture, and she snores, drools and other small problems, and secretly leaks her measurements, some of her hobbies, such as delicious and sweet, likes to be touted, some little vanity, and recently has been a for Meng Ming. The head card of the Qinglou standing in the clouds in the eyes of ordinary people is vividly displayed in front of people. Therefore, Ning Zhihua has become famous in the city of Tokyo, and the limelight is unique for a while, which overshadows the other nine contestants.

The major gambling houses in Tokyo, in this Oiran competition, bet on the candidates who won the championship this time, bet on the winner of the competition, among which the bet on Master Zhang to win the championship is one to lose one, and Ning Zhi draws one to three, and Ni Du regrets to lose one to five, so people still think that Zhang Shishi is the most likely to win the Oiran again. Meng Ming took out a thousand guan to bet on Ning Zhihua to win. At this time, there was suddenly a huge force among the people to push Ni Duxi to win the championship, and the number of people who bet on Ni Duxi to win increased greatly for a while. Meng Ming didn't care, this force was either the power of the Gao family and other nobles, or the gambling house secretly promoted it.

The final round begins, with the 10 players divided into five groups, and the winner of each group competes for the top five places, among which the Oiran is selected; The loser of each group will compete for the 6th to 10th place. The most important thing is the top five matchup, where the five players are divided into three groups, draw their own lots, and allow byes, and the byes go directly to the top three, and then face off against the winners of these two groups, and so on, until the Oiran is chosen, and then the others are ranked.

After a morning of competition, there are five people in the top five, the list is as follows: Zhang Shishi of Bailu Building, Ji Xixi of Pan Building, Ni Duxi of Wujian Building, Pu An'an of Huayue Building, Ning Zhihua of Ronghe Fang, and now the most concerned is the competition between these five people. After the draw, Zhang Shishi and Pu Anan were in a group, Ji Xixi and Ni Duxi were in a group, and Ning Zhihua had a bye and directly entered the top three. A lot of people and others talked about it, and they all said that Ning Zhi painting was lucky.

Master Zhang's in Pu'an, these three competitions: the first is to compare literary appearance, the second is to compare literature, poetry and painting, and the third is to compare musical instruments and songs. Zhang Shishi defeated Pu An'an and advanced to the top three; The competition between Ji Xixi and Ni Duxi was much more intense. The two fought a tie in the first and second games, and in the third game, because Ni Duxi received Zhang Xian's secret support, he wrote a few lyrics for her, and Ni Duxi sang a poem "A Bunch of Flowers":

When will you be poor? Nothing seems to be affectionate. Sorrow is leading to a thousand threads, more eastern, flying clouds. The neighing ride is getting farther away, the dust is constantly collecting, where to recognize the traces of Lang.

The water of the double mandarin pond is soluble, and the north and south are small. After dusk in the ladder horizontal painting pavilion, it is still and the oblique moon curtain is arranged. Pondering with hatred, it is better to be a peach and an apricot, and it is better to marry the east wind.

Her singing voice is melodious and ethereal, in line with the artistic conception of this song, tactfully and lowly, flowing in all corners, emitting a low and quiet rhythmic sound, as if telling a long-hidden secret heart. After singing this song, everyone was still unsatisfied, immersed in it, and finally the audience woke up, and they all made shocking applause, coupled with the long-lasting applause, this Ni won the heart, and won the hearts of the audience. Master Zhang also looked at her with a solemn face, he already regarded her as an opponent who could match her, and Ning Zhihua also felt the pressure at this time. Ji Xixi didn't compare musical instruments with her anymore, her self-confidence had disappeared, and she directly admitted defeat, and Ni Duxi was promoted. Until now, the top three have all been produced, and Ni Duxi's call to win the championship has surpassed Zhang Shishi for the first time

In the afternoon, it was the competition of the top three, the first to play was Zhang Shishi, at this time, Zhang Shishi, with black hair, pulled a princess bun, and a beaded hairpin on the bun, with tassels hanging on it, his face was like jade, his eyebrows were picturesque, his eyes were like stars, and his forehead was pasted with a red and bright yellow; Dressed in a red wide-sleeved chiffon cross-collar skirt, the wide collar and cuffs are trimmed with gold filigree, the long sleeves are embroidered with light blue fine patterns, and the chest is embroidered with the same light blue light silk thread. The breeze blows her clothes fluttering, her sideburns flying, she sits quietly in front of the jade table, holding a five-stringed piano, her beautiful face dyed with the dreamy color of fairyland, not contaminated with a trace of vulgarity.

I saw her green and jade fingers, playing a few times on the piano wire, making a pleasant piano sound, and she was adjusting the timbre. She began to pluck it tactfully and skillfully, and the meandering and sultry sound of the piano flowed out like water, and she listened to it gracefully. The big strings are rough and scattered, like the sound of dead branches and scattered leaves in the storm, and the music is uninhibited; The small strings "whisper and whisper, cut the ghosts and gods", and the pharynx is resting; It gives people a sense of intricate changes and lingering sounds. The people in the audience seemed to sink into it and couldn't extricate themselves, and also entered the artistic conception of the sound of the piano, which led people into the realm of fascination. Just like Bai Juyi's "Five Strings": "The song is cleared and the singing is stopped, and the red coat also stops dancing." Zhao Sue hugged the five strings, like turning to the chest caressing. Loud and rough, rustling wind and rain. The whisper is overwhelming, and the ghost whispers are cut. and like a magpie annunciating good news, turning into an ape crying bitterly. Ten fingers are indefinite, and the palace is reversed. When the guests heard this, they were like no owner. When the traveler heard this, he stopped and couldn't lift it. The ears of the vulgar are not good in the past. So the green window piano produces dust every day. At the end of the song, there was silence in the audience, and then there was an astonishing applause, undulating and applauding.

She rested for a while and began to dance again, she danced the "Dance of the Ni Clothes and Feathers", which was a famous court music of the Tang Dynasty. From India, formerly known as "Brahman Song", Yang Jingshu presented to the court in the middle of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and was processed and polished by Li Longji of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and was renamed "Ni Clothes and Feather Song" in 754 A.D. (the thirteenth year of Tianbao). Xuanzong's favorite concubine Yang Yuhuan is famous for her good dance "Neon Dress and Feather Dance".

At this time, Master Zhang, who had finished dressing, was still standing in the corner of the stage delicately, only to see her wearing a colorful rainbow skirt and a shawl of Huiyun Liuxia. At this point, she was about to take off. Suddenly, the music turned from soft to rigid, and it was like a crack in autumn bamboo and a break in spring ice. Look at the goddess at this time, dancing lightly, fluttering like a snowstorm, fast as a dragon frightened. Sometimes waving soft wide sleeves, like a weak willow facing the wind; Sometimes the hem of the skirt is gently swayed, like flowing clouds. These movements are described in Bai Juyi's "Song of the Dance of the Neon Clothes and Feathers": "They are all in the initial state of the Ni Dress Dance. "The metaphor is clever and colorful. When Master Zhang performed the above movements, he saw that her eyebrows were beautiful and her sleeves were emotional, not only because the movements themselves danced beautifully, but more importantly, she conveyed a certain voice through her eyebrows and clothes and clothes. This kind of dance will move and infect people. It is also described in Bai Juyi's "Dance Song of Ni Clothes and Feathers", "The smoke moth is slightly overwhelmed, and the wind sleeves are low and affectionate."

After the dance, everyone was also "staring at the truth and listening was not enough", and they were all dumbfounded. In the end, the whole scene boiled, and Master Zhang's strength was undoubted.
