Chapter 101 Scheming
Daybreak.
Birds chirp outside the window.
And Siyu in the window, his mood suddenly became nervous.
Today is the first round of assessments, and at least 60 people will be brushed down here.
Early in the morning, the two little nuns knocked on the door and came in to serve Siyu, wash, dress up, and make up.
"Aren't you going to take the test?"
Siyu asked a little puzzled.
The two little nuns avoided answering, but smiled at her, "As long as you can choose!" ”
Siyu was very surprised in his heart, and his conjecture became more and more aggravated.
Could it be that the two of them really came for themselves?
But I've never heard Feng's mother say it, which really makes her a little puzzled.
The more Siyu looked at them, the more suspicious she became, and found that the two nuns were extremely expert in grooming and dressing up, or choosing hairpins.
She was a little suspicious that the two nuns didn't seem to be real nuns, and that they really came to serve themselves.
But in the face of the two sisters' enthusiasm for herself, she didn't want to ask any more.
The assessment is set for an hour later.
Everyone was nervously preparing, and there were people running upstairs and downstairs.
Some girls pay their own money to hire people, and they bring their own maids to help them dress up and make up.
Some also seem to be the owner who doesn't care, and they don't have the extra money to hire people, so they have to make up by themselves.
One person is dressing up and preparing clothes, and he is a little panicked, and one person is completely busy.
Xiao Bailing, who was in the same room, was facing a dilemma, and after Siyu saw it, she sent a nun to help her.
It's a pity that neither of the two little nuns is willing to help him, which also makes Siyu in a dilemma.
At this moment, Feng's mother rushed over with two maids in a hurry, wanting to come over to help Siyu make up, but found that even she was shocked by the scene in front of her.
"Who are you? Thank you! ”
Feng's mother thought that Siyu hired these two little nuns with her own money, but Siyu thought that Feng's mother hired the two of them.
In this way, the two people looked at each other.
The two nuns hurriedly stood up and smiled at Siyu and Feng's mother: "Both of us were sent by the Eastern Dynasty to serve the girl's makeup, her name is Miaoyu, and my name is Miaoli!" ”
Siyu and Feng's mother were so shocked that they stayed there and couldn't speak for a long time.
Not only them, but even the little Bailing next to her didn't dare to say anything when she heard the atmosphere, and her heart shook violently, and cold sweat trickled down.
I was very glad in my heart, fortunately I didn't poison her to death, if I poisoned her, I was afraid that I would have died and had no place to bury.
Feng's mother never thought that the Eastern Dynasty had no problem with Siyu, and even took care of this matter, which really made her unbelievable.
It seems that the origin of these two little nuns is not simple.
Siyu saw that there was no one around Xiao Bailing to help, so she asked Feng's mother to bring the maid she brought to help Xiao Bailing.
But Feng's mother just laughed and didn't want to, and Xiao Bailing'er was also very interested, so she simply went out of this room.
She felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and secretly made up her mind more and more that she must do everything possible to stay in the first round of assessment.
Even if it costs anything.
She really can't figure it out, she doesn't look bad, why can she only be willing to be a green leaf.
……
The assessment was arranged in a courtyard, and someone had already been sent to sprinkle and clean it, and there were two large lines of rice paper on both sides, which were white and flawless.
Liu Shanggong, Miao Huaguan, several rough envoys in coarse cloth skirts, and maids waited on both sides.
In addition, I actually invited a few Qinglou bustards and shopkeepers as several judges to participate in this selection.
More than 300 girls from Qinglou gathered in the small courtyard, and for a while, the fragrance of fat powder filled this small courtyard, covering up the fragrance of flowers.
Seeing that everyone had gathered, Liu Shanggong simply started and issued the rules for the assessment.
"This time the Oiran Competition, unlike previous years, the emperor will come to Yanliu Lane in person, so this year's assessment will be more stringent!"
The news of the Oiran Contest was finally confirmed, and everyone whispered, nervous and excited.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Shanggong said: "In this year's Oiran Competition, you will also learn etiquette, if you want to collide with Your Majesty, you will be blamed!" ”
When the girls heard this, they were also very panicked.
They had never seen the emperor before, and when they thought that they would see the emperor in ten days, they looked extremely nervous, and felt new and frightened.
"Today is the first test, only two people can be assessed at a time, more than 300 people, each person only has two chances, if it does not meet the requirements twice, it will be brushed down, you cherish it."
After Liu Shanggong spoke, he gestured to the Miao Hua official with his eyes, followed by the Miao Hua official, and began to sing the rules of the preliminary examination.
"Anyone who steps on dirt, breaks rice paper, falls into a water bowl, and drops more than ten drops of water will be escaped!" 516
When the girls heard this, they looked shocked, thinking that the rice paper was the easiest to break, and it would usually break with a light press of their hands, not to mention that they were going to take their feet, how could it not be broken?
Siyu was also panicked when he heard this, and when he practiced normally, he just cared. It's better not to drop droplets, who would have thought that there is such a content.
Thinking of this, she also had a sad face, and Mother Feng on the side hurriedly comforted her when she saw this: "It's not in the way, I've dealt with those Qinglou bustards, even if it breaks one or two places, it will let you live!" ”
Hearing this, Siyu glanced at Feng's mother very gratefully, "Thank you so much, I've never heard of it, and this assessment!" ”
Mother Feng sighed and said, "It's also the first time I've heard that in previous years, it was only required not to fall into the water bowl, but this year is much stricter than in previous years!" ”
Siyu really couldn't understand why the emperor would be so concerned about the Oiran Contest this time.
There are still many questions that she can't understand, such as the two little nuns, Miaoyu and Miaoli, which are really unexpected by her.
She didn't think of the Eastern Dynasty, she was still thinking about herself, and she was very scared when she remembered the situation that day.
From this, I thought of my mother again, but I didn't know if the thousand-year-old ginseng given by the prince could heal my mother.
Since Mu Shaoqing left, she had no way to get news.
She wanted to see him, to ask, what was wrong with her mother?
It was at this point that the assessment began.
First, the draw began, and Siyu drew the fifteenth place in Group A, and the ranking was neither front nor back, which was not bad.
And Xiao Bailing on the side, the lottery she drew was the fifteenth place in Group B, and she actually walked side by side with Siyu.
She couldn't help but wonder to herself, could this be providence?
She had secretly made up her mind that this time, she must pass steadily.
At this time, the first pair to go up was a red card from two Yihongyuan, one of whom was still last year's Oiran.
This time, Yihongyuan is also determined to win, and two red-card girls were sent out at once, so they wanted to be able to make persistent efforts and win the crown again.
The two red-carded girls seem to be twin sisters, the older sister won the Oiran last year, and she wants her sister to get it this year.
The two of them are the same, and even their gestures are surprisingly consistent, as if carved out of a mold.
However, the two of them were still wearing the same clothes, wearing a green gauze bandeau dress, walking on the snow-white rice paper, like a pair of orchids in the snow, which was intoxicating.
The two of them moved lightly, took off their shoes and socks, revealing a pair of snow-white lotus feet, and carefully stepped on the rice paper.
Fortunately, it was not broken, the two of them held their breath and walked slowly, just took a step or two, and suddenly sneered, and my sister broke the rice paper.
Although my sister heard it, she didn't dare to look back, and the rough mother-in-law on the side pulled down her sister who still wanted to walk around on rice paper.
It seems that she can only wait for the retest.
My sister felt fine, but she found that she could neither move fast nor slow on this rice paper, and she would never dare to stay longer.
As long as you stay for a while, the rice paper will definitely be broken.
Seeing that it was going to take a few steps, and when I was about to reach the end, as soon as my mind relaxed, my body was a little slack.
At this moment, the branches and leaves on the side trembled.
The wind rose, and the rice paper blew slightly, obviously she didn't notice this subtle change, only heard a stabbing sound, and the rice paper broke.
It's clear that it's only one step away from the finish line.
It's a pity that it's just one step away, and my sister was also brushed down waiting for the retest.
As a result, the two sisters who went up in the first round were eliminated, which added pressure to the people behind.
At this time, a few rough mothers-in-law hurriedly brought two large rolls of rice paper, and laid a layer of raw rice paper on the two tracks, so that the rice paper was thicker and easier to break when stepped on.
It seems that this group of sisters has brought bad luck.
Five pairs of sisters went up in a row, all of them were eliminated and waiting for the retest.
The sixth pair that finally went up, only one person barely passed, this is still Liu Shanggong, and his subordinates are merciful.
Originally, she also stepped on the rice paper, but the breach was very small, and under the proposal of the flower official, it was barely passed.
If you don't lower the standards, I'm afraid that no one will be able to pass.
But there are exceptions to everything.
There was really a woman who walked over gently and skillfully, not only did not spill a drop of water, but the rice paper under her feet was also intact.
At that time, someone in the crowd recognized her, a secret prostitute of the second door, and pointed at her.
"She, I know, is actually the Oiran of the year before last, named Jinyan, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old when she debuted, and now she is almost twenty."
"Then why is she still here? It's boring to come over and grab food with us! ”
The girls on the side were very annoyed.
only listened to the secret prostitute, with great disdain in his expression.
She sneered: "No way, if a person memorizes words and stuffs her teeth when she drinks cold water, she has already made a lot of money, and she has redeemed herself early, but when she meets someone who is unladylike, that person cheated her out of all her property, and as a last resort, isn't she coming back again?" ”
A few people next to her also gloated.
Siyu frowned when she heard them say this, she thought to herself, how can people be like this, it is already very unfortunate to fall into the dust, why do you still trample on people who have the same experience as herself?
As soon as she was distracted, she heard someone call her, "Qinglianju in Tianxianglou, Miss Siyu, Wan Shanhong in Xiaoyao Building, Xiao Bailing'er, come, it's your turn!" ”
