The Oiran Contest starts in the morning, but the main event is in the afternoon.

In the morning, it is the preliminary selection of some participating Qinglou women, mainly from the appearance, demeanor, speech three aspects of scoring, only through the can participate in the afternoon finals.

Of course, these are often the links that go through the motions, and many of the participating Qinglou women stop at this link. It's not necessarily that their looks are not good, but most of these places are reserved for the pillars of the major green buildings.

Although each Oiran Contest evokes endless reverie among scholars, it is essentially a commercial activity.

The reason why the major Qinglou is keen on this event is that it can increase the value of its own Qinglou pillars, and secondly, it can get a lot of real money from it.

The organizers will sell the flowers at a high price today, and these flowers will be approved by the number of votes. If you want to get the title of Oiran, it is actually measured by silver, and it is still the pride of the gold owner behind it.

The proceeds converted from these flowers are shared proportionally by the organizers, the Qinglou and the participating women, so that all three parties can get real money from them.

Once the pillar of a green building gets the Oiran or ranks relatively high, then its status will be multiplied several times, resulting in greater benefits in the future operation.

It is precisely in this preliminaries that if it weren't for the sudden emergence of a shocking-looking woman, no one would have been able to compete for the seeded players of each family.

In the fierce preliminary round in the morning, the 12 Qinglou women who finally got the most flowers entered the final session in the afternoon, where they will compete in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Although money plays a big role in it, the competition of talent is equally important, which is why many women in Qinglou will marry talents. Behind them, they not only need the help of the master, but also the talent.

Lin Haoran saw these things very thoroughly, but like an outsider, he watched the twelve Qinglou women playing tunes on the stage and listening to these beautiful notes.

"Miss, the buns have been brought over!" Lan'er came to Hua Yingrong and said in a low voice.

Although Hua Yingrong appeared here as Mrs. Ru, no one dared to peep at her, but sat at the tea table next to her and watched the performance on the stage.

When she saw Lan'er go and return, she gave a look to a green-clothed girl next to her, and the green-clothed girl took out a silver needle for inspection, and finally tried it herself.

Lan'er was not surprised by this, after all, this was for her uncle, so she should naturally be cautious and cautious. In fact, Lin Fu followed her, for fear that someone would secretly poison her.

After the girl in green checked that it was correct, she nodded lightly at Hua Yingrong, and Hua Yingrong instructed lightly: "Put it on the plate and send it to the master!" ”

"Yes!" Lan'er responded obediently, and then followed the two maids to put the buns on the prepared delicate plates, and walked towards the uncle who was sitting in the hall.

Lin Haoran was looking at the big dark horse of Jinfenglou with interest, I heard that this Jinfenglou is not known, and it has been a role for running for many years. It's just that this year, there was a girl named Yuhime, who broke into the finals in the morning with a good ranking of fourth.

This Yuji girl was "sold miserably" in the morning, after she claimed to be an official of the imperial court, her father was beheaded because she was killed by Yan Song's father and son, and she was exiled here.

Every Qinglou woman will have a "tragic experience", some of which may be true, but it is often the most important part of the later artistic processing. But whether it's true or not, many people who read books like this.

To Lin Haoran's slight surprise, this Yuji not only has a good appearance and "life experience", but also plays a good piano, and is indeed the big dark horse of this year's Oiran Competition.

"Uncle, the buns have arrived!"

Lan'er's heart was always towards Miss, looking at Lin Haoran who was fascinated, maybe the last time she poured tea emboldened her, but she deliberately stood in front to block his sight.

Lin Haoran glanced up at Lan'er, but he didn't see through the careful thinking of this girl, but he was not a greedy person, and it was impossible for that woman to make him tempted.

Seeing that the bun was delivered, he picked up the bun and took a bite, and then said to the officials present: "Ladies and gentlemen, although our dim sum here is exquisite, but if you really want to be satisfied, you still have to eat this kind of bun with a lot of filling!" “

In fact, he has his careful thoughts, Yangzhou prefect He Dongxu, Nanjing household department member Wailang Li Yu and Lianghuai have all issued documents for the disposal of Chen Xian, which caused a huge earthquake in the entire Yangzhou officialdom.

In this huge earthquake, Lin Haoran undoubtedly became the biggest beneficiary, in addition to removing obstacles, but also achieved the effect of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, causing officials of all sizes to come to take refuge.

Lin Haoran achieved the expected goal, but he also knew that there were actually many forces interspersed here, and there was still a long way to go if he wanted to achieve the political order.

"Huh...... What Lord Chincha said is very true! ”

"This is really thought-provoking!"

"Yes, this girl, please give this official a bun too!"

……

When the officials present heard Lin Haoran's words, they nodded yes one after another, and some even opened the buns and ate them in large chunks as if they were delicious.

"The origin of this bun is unknown, isn't Lord Qincha afraid of poison?"

It was then that a loud voice suddenly came from the staircase.

When everyone heard this inappropriate remark, they all turned their heads to look over, thinking who was so uninteresting, only to see that the person who came was an old man wearing a first-class official uniform.

When they saw this old man appear, some people felt confused, but more people were relieved.

"I've seen Wei Guogong!"

Lin Haoran sat in his seat and stood up, and saluted this Wei Guogong.

"Xia Guan has seen Wei Guogong!"

Yangzhou Mansion Tongzhi Cao Tengfei and other officials stood up one after another and gave a salute to the prince.

It was none other than Xu Pengju, the garrison of Nanjing and the left governor of the Chinese army.

He is very tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a sword hanging from his waist, and he shows the demeanor of a famous general. Although he is nearly sixty years old, his body appears to be strong, especially his eyes are very bright.

It's just that this seemingly majestic body, but it failed to make military achievements for the Ming Dynasty, and even fled in embarrassment when the Zhenwu battalion mutinied, and was called "Straw Bale Guogong" by everyone.

Wei Guogong walked up to Lin Haoran and asked amiably: "The prince of my country is joking, Lord Qincha won't mind, right?" ”
