Volume 3 The Spring and Autumn of the Pen and Knife Chapter 142 The Dispute over the Head of the Line
"Childe, the people outside are so hateful, they even said that Childe's four words are not as good as Shen Xing's one, it's really infuriating!" Don't look at people, don't listen to voices, just judging from the content of the speech, you know that this is what Tan Yun said. Because she is the only one who will express her inner emotions so unabashedly in front of Cao Yi.
"Humph! If Childe hadn't asked me to tell me the content of the four poems I had written before, I would have reasoned with them a long time ago! Tan Yun still said angrily.
"What's so angry about this, the higher Shen Xing climbs now, the more painful the fall will be! Don't you still believe in my strength? This title of Jiangning's number one talent, although I don't care at all, whoever wants it to take it away, but who calls him the Shen family, not to mention that he is still Shen Yan's brother, who will he pit him? Cao Yi sat aside and looked at the book, and said calmly.
"Hehe, Childe, you are so bad, I really don't know what the expression on his face and inner state were when Sister Yu Xuanji performed at night, when Shen Xing knew what the specific content of the four poems written by Childe was......" After speaking, it seemed that his brain had made up a specific picture, Tan Yun smirked to himself.
Cao Yi also raised his mind, echoing the scene that Tan Yun said just now that Shen Xing might be annoyed and angry, with a trace of worry in his eyes, and then his eyes became firm, as if he had made an important decision in his heart.
Because there is no competition during the day on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, there is only a game at night. The main purpose is to set aside time for the sixteen girls participating in the competition today to deal with the visits of talented people and benefactors, and to maneuver between the people who look at each other unpleasantly because they are jealous of each other, stabilize the situation, control the atmosphere, so that they can unite with the outside world, and first unite to make themselves to the top of the eight major lines.
Therefore, whether it is today or tomorrow, the official selection of the Oiran will be vacant during the day, and the official competition will be held in the evening. The first is that more people will have time to watch the game in the evening, and the second is to give these top candidates time to meet their supporters during the day, encourage them, and motivate them.
When it was about to leave for the Drunken Immortal Building in the afternoon, in the small courtyard where Yu Xuanji lived in the Jinfeng Building, Yu Xuanji was trying on clothes in front of Jin'er, and asked Jin'er which one looked better from time to time.
"Miss, did you say that what Shen Yan Shen Gongzi said, the poem written by his brother is really better than the four poems that Cao Gongzi wrote to you?" Jin'er sat on the stool and asked, looking up.
Yu Xuanji rolled his eyes, and said speechlessly: "It's just that others don't know the truth, Jin'er, you have also read the words written by Shen Xing, and you have also read the four words written by Cao Gongzi, two of which are also composed together, can't you tell whose lyrics are better?" ”
Jin'er shrunk her neck when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I'm not as smart as you, Miss, although I feel that whatever Cao Gongzi writes is better than Shen Xing's, but it's not like everyone is like this, and I don't know what Cao Gongzi thinks, why let them gossip, and there is no domineering spirit of Jiangning's No. 1 talent at all." ”
"That's Cao Gongzi is open-minded, don't care about false fame, you see when he used the name of Jiangning's first genius in the Qinglou, if it was someone else with this name, I think I would like to come to the Qinglou every day, now there are so many Qinglou sisters who think about what can happen to Cao Gongzi, and there are not a few who are willing to recommend their own pillows, but Cao Gongzi has never come to look for flowers and ask willows."
"That's it, it's just that Cao Gong doesn't go to other Qinglou, why don't you even come here? How can I say that Cao Gongzi has always been very good to Miss, and he spent money to let Miss endorse and send words to Miss, but he never came over, which is really puzzling. ”
"Haha, you little girl, I think you are Sichun, I miss Cao Gongzi so much." Yu Xuanji laughed while choosing clothes.
"Miss, this dress is good, Cao Gongzi praised it before......" Jin'er suddenly pointed to the skirt that Yu Xuanji was holding in her hand and was facing the bronze mirror.
"Really? Did Cao Gongzi boast? Yu Xuanji asked not very surely, and immediately realized that Jin'er was lying to her, and said angrily: "You dead girl has tricked people on me!" ”
"Hmph, Miss obviously cares about Cao Gongzi very much, and she insists on saying that I ......" Jin'er said protestingly.
Then there was the sound of the two of them laughing and playing in the room. Fly Lu
"Actually, Mademoiselle doesn't care if she can get the position of Oiran, does she?" Jin'er's soft voice came.
Hearing this, Yu Xuanji sighed and said: "There is nothing good about being an Oiran, it is very likely that you will be targeted by some big people at that time, and even a little carelessness will bring disaster to yourself, I, it's okay to become the head of the Eight Majors." ”
"Yes, I listen to Sister Ying'er...... Eh, now it's called Sister Musk Yue, and she keeps telling me, let me remind Miss that you have really become an Oiran, and then Mother Li will be reluctant to redeem Miss for you, saying that you will change from a treasure chicken that lays golden eggs to a phoenix that lays golden eggs, how can Mother Li love money so easily let you redeem yourself. I thought about it carefully today, what Sister Musk Yue said is actually very reasonable, Miss, you saw that you received more than 1,300 bouquets of saffron in one day yesterday, and there are more than 13,000 taels of silver, even if you remove the 20% to the government, and then remove some profits and taxes, Jinfeng Lou can also get more than 8,000 taels, this is just a day, if you add today and tomorrow, I am afraid that this number will be more, and drag this year not to let Miss redeem yourself, next year you can earn so much ......"
"Hey! Jin'er, don't say it again! Yu Xuanji slumped on the bed, at this time she felt the most powerless, how much she hoped that someone could let her rely on...... It's a pity that the people who often appear in front of her now are not people worth entrusting for life. Either the family has already had a group of wives and concubines, or they are not married, but the family will never allow a Qinglou woman to marry.
"Miss, you said that if someone is really willing to pay for your redemption, what will happen then?"
Yu Xuanji smiled sadly, "What else can I do?" When the deed of sale is in the hands of others, if the other party is not bad, then it doesn't hurt to marry him, at least I am also last year's Oiran, and there should be no big problem with this year's eight leaders, marrying back can always give him some face. ”
"What if...... Miss, what if the other person is not good? Jin'er said timidly.
"Then I have to die, it's a pity......" As for what is a pity, Yu Xuanji didn't say it, and Jin'er didn't ask, and the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding to stop.
After a long time, Jin'er sighed faintly and said, "It would be great if Gongzi Cao could help Miss redeem you......"
"yes, how nice it should be......" Yu Xuanji repeated unconsciously.
By the time it was time for the unitary, basically all the red cards of the major Qinglou who were going to participate in tonight's game had already arrived at the Zuixian Building in advance, because the game was about to start.
Yu Xuanji and Jin'er also came over early, and when Yu Xuanji was still in Jinfeng Building, he had already put on the makeup and costumes for today's performance, so he only needed to make up a little before going on stage and tidy it up. Because she was the first on the red flower list yesterday, and today she is going to perform the finale, and there is still plenty of time at the moment. There was nothing to do, and the two masters and servants came to Cao Yi's exclusive seat on the third floor of the West Building. At this time, I didn't need to be led by others, so I walked around by myself.
But after arriving, he found that Cao Yi was not there, and Yu Xuanji originally wanted to come over and discuss with him that it would be better to sing that song tonight, but now it seems that he can only decide by himself.
"Where has Gongzi Cao gone, do you know Musk Yue?" Yu Xuanji asked the musk moon in the elegant seat.
Musk Yue shook her head and turned her head to look at the red sleeves, generally the red sleeve sister knows about the child's affairs, if she doesn't even know the red sleeve sister, then no one generally knows.
"Well, Childe has been here during the day, and he just said that he had something to go out for, and he didn't let us follow, so I don't know what Childe is going to do." Red Sleeves looked at Yu Xuanji apologetically and said, but in his heart he thought of what Gongzi asked him for before...... She was thoughtful.
After staying for a while, the competition was about to start, Yu Xuanji and Jin'er had to retire and go down to prepare for the competition, as for what to perform at night, she had already made a decision in her heart.
