The sun was already in the west, and the fish in Slender West Lake swam to the shallow water to feed, but they didn't know that they had left a rice ball earlier, and a group of small fish were happily dividing the food there.

The water pavilion on the edge of the lake is still lively, and with the appearance of the twelve Qinglou women on the stage, there are bursts of cheers around, cheering for the girl they like.

As time passed, the Oiran Contest was nearing its end, and a new Yangzhou Oiran was soon born.

Normally, the final of the Oiran is usually scheduled in the evening. However, this year's Oiran Contest is held in Slender West Lake, and it is naturally not suitable to arrange it in the evening, so the new Oiran will be decided in the evening.

Three minutes on stage, ten years off the stage.

Twelve Qinglou women with different styles stood on the stage, in addition to their appearance and figure, their talents were fully reflected, and they were undoubtedly the top Qinglou women in Yangzhou City.

If you put aside the identity of the Qinglou women, each of them is a talented woman with outstanding appearance, and she is indeed far better than the vast majority of women in the world.

The last link is to offer poems, many Qinglou women have been preparing since half a year ago, and now they have hidden the best poems in their hands here.

Twelve outstanding Qinglou women wrote on the paper, writing the poems that had been hidden in their wombs for a long time. Although they are not required to be original, they are required to write new poems, and they are required to write them themselves.

In the field of poetry, after reaching a certain level, it is difficult to distinguish between high and low, and human speech accounts for a large factor.

If a notorious scholar comes up with a fine poem, he is afraid that he will also be deliberately belittled; If a person of considerable status comes up with inferior poetry, he is also regarded as middle and upper-class.

These Qinglou women may not be able to write poems and lyrics, but they still have the most basic ability to appreciate. After some careful preparation, they came up with beautiful poems, many of which were of the highest quality.

Now in the final link, many scholars can't hold back anymore.

"I'll give Miss Pandan a copper flower!"

"I'll give Miss Qilan two copper flowers!"

"I'll give Miss Yuji two copper flowers!"

……

On a dilapidated boat, a large group of scholars seemed to be scrambling, and they were offering flowers to their favorite girls.

There are three kinds of flowers: gold, silver, and bronze, corresponding to one hundred taels, ten taels, and one tael, respectively.

This is the organizer and the Qinglou to take care of the needs of all walks of life, the golden flower is aimed at the bold big gold owners, the silver flower is for the rich sons and generous scholars, and the copper flower is for the bottom of the scholars and even ordinary people.

Although Yangzhou is a land of wealth, wealth has always belonged to a few. Even if it is just a copper flower, for many people, it is a considerable expense.

However, in the previous Oiran conferences, this silver flower is the most, and its proportion even reached 50% of the total income. Many low-level scholars or ordinary people, even if they are frugal, still have to dedicate this meager strength to the Qinglou woman they like.

The most important thing is that these people often have no luxury, and only hope to offer one or a few copper flowers to the girl they like to express their hearts, and they seem so pure.

The host of this Oiran contest is Zhao Yuanwai, a squire from Yangzhou, who runs a silk shop and is also a master who can speak well, and said loudly to everyone: "Trapped by the floods, many refugees have poured into Yangzhou City, and we are all anxious in our eyes. After discussion between our Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce and the Yangzhou Government Government, we jointly decided to dedicate all the proceeds from today's Oiran Contest to disaster relief. The flowers you offer today are not only to support your favorite girl, but also to help the victims, which is a good deed! ”

Although the women participating in the competition come from various green houses, if you want to hold such an Oiran Competition, you must have an influential organization or group, and the organizers of this Oiran are Yangzhou Mansion and Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

As the organizers, they will receive a 20% silver tael. Now they choose to take it out for disaster relief, although it is actually a flower offering to the Buddha, but it is also a good deed.

"In that case, I'll offer another silver flower!"

After learning of the organizer's decision, he won the support of many businessmen and scholars, and even decided to increase the vote.

Although there was no major flood in Yangzhou, this year's spring grain output was indeed greatly reduced, causing many victims to pour into Yangzhou City. Now that the organizers are settling in, it will undoubtedly reduce a lot of trouble.

Of course, this is only the choice of the organizers, and Qinglou will definitely not participate in it.

I don't want to blame the Qinglou too much for this, and the Qinglou has paid a lot for this Oiran competition. In addition to pushing the best girls to participate in the competition, he also worked hard to promote the Oiran Contest, and secretly encouraged the most generous financiers of the Qinglou to participate in it.

Qinglou has invested a lot of manpower and capital, and now is the harvest period, these are undoubtedly the rewards that should be paid, and naturally there is no reason to donate the proceeds that should be received for no reason.

After writing their poems at their desks, the twelve Qinglou women appeared on the stage one by one and read out the poems they had prepared.

When Qilan appeared on the stage, although the poems she took out were only first-class poems, she also won a full 300 gold flowers, which was already the same as last year's Oiran.

In terms of popularity, Qilan is obviously not as good as Xianglan in Four Seasons Building, and even the dark horse Yuji. It's just that because she has just received Lin Haoran's support, she has shown a strong ability to absorb gold.

The most important thing is that it is not yet the final decisive moment, and the number of flowers of Qilan will increase, which is destined to exceed the number of flowers of last year's Oiran, and it is already the first favorite for this year's Oiran.

Xu Pengju saw all this in his eyes, took a sip of the teacup, glanced at Lin Haoran and asked with a smile: "Lord Qincha, your appeal is indeed not weak, but with this appeal alone, the matter of Oiran has nothing to do with you!" ”

Yangzhou Mansion Tongzhi Cao Tengfei and Yangzhou Mansion General Judge Chen Fengming exchanged glances, which obviously had a provocative flavor.

"Isn't it yet the end?" Lin Haoran was a little bored with this person, but responded very blandly.

"No, this Oiran contest is over!" Xu Pengju shook his head gently, looking confident.

At this time, it was Xianglan's turn to appear, but Xu Pengju didn't wait for the other party to recite the poem, and even loudly reported a number: "The country presents four hundred golden flowers!" ”

Because everyone was quietly waiting for Xianglan to present poems, and Xu Peng's voice was loud, this sentence spread for the first time.
