The main reason is that Chu Mingxuan swore that he would definitely win, after all, he took the lyrics that his teacher had carefully prepared for two or three days, thinking that no matter how amazing Cao Yi was, he couldn't compare to the older generation of literary bigwigs like his teacher, besides, the teacher still prepared for so long, but Cao Yi only had a few teas to think and conceive, after all, he told him what the theme was after Fu Wan'er and Yu Youwei competed.

So before the competition, he had an arrogant attitude, Cao Yi didn't want to compete, but he had to force others to compete, as if he would win steadily, but the reality was a slap in the face, even if he took out the teacher's lyrics, he was also pressed to the ground and rubbed by Cao Yi's works, without the ability to resist, it can be said that it was unilaterally crushed and slaughtered, because there was no comparison between the two works at all, which was too different from the results he expected.

And after the competition, Cao Yi's mouth was too poisonous and poisonous, he had never seen such a vicious mouth, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was murderous, Chu Mingxuan had already lost Cao Yi once before, this time it was nothing more than another loss, except that he had too high expectations for himself at the beginning, which led to too much contrast in the back, and he couldn't stand it all of a sudden, Cao Yi's "care" and "comfort" full of "love" were also indispensable, and it became the last straw that crushed Chu Mingxuan's mentality, and the key was that this straw was not pressed on his body. but it was pierced in his body, and it was also pierced in his heart.

Chu Mingxuan can say that it was a mistake to propose to compete with Cao Yi at the beginning, and the fault was that he underestimated Cao Yi's degree of evil and overestimated his psychological tolerance. Under the superposition of the two, he completely lost his mind, and did something that not only damaged the reputation of his four great talents in Yangzhou, but even damaged the reputation of his teacher Wei Mu.

These people present all knew that at least in a short period of time, Chu Mingxuan's reputation was completely stinky, unless he later found Cao Yi again and promised to do all kinds of things to make up for it, and then Cao Yi came forward to say that Chu Mingxuan had completed the bet made in the previous competition and kept his promise, so that his reputation might have a glimmer of life.

However, even if Cao Yi doesn't pursue him, his teacher Wei Mu will definitely pursue him, because on some levels, Chu Mingxuan does not simply represent himself, but sometimes also represents the face and reputation of his teacher Wei Mu, after all, if the disciple does not teach well, the teacher must also be responsible. If others say that Chu Mingxuan's behavior of ignoring gambling contracts and agreements and running away was taught by his teacher, then Wei Mu's reputation in Yangzhou for more than 20 years would not be completely ruined.

Therefore, Chu Mingxuan escaped this time, and after he went back, his teacher would definitely punish him severely, as for how ruthless the punishment was, it was unknown, after all, this thing has not happened yet, everything is possible.

In addition to the silent embarrassment at the beginning, under the activity and organization of the experienced Lu Xiaofeng and Wang Honghua, the atmosphere became harmonious again, and after reducing Chu Mingxuan's rivalry, the remaining talents were already familiar with and saved a good friendship in the original Fei Haomiao's Zhizhou Mansion, so there was harmony in the painting boat.

And on the Oiran's side, with the deliberate guidance of Min Yue, Yu Youwei has also successfully integrated into the six Oiran with her personal charm and super strength, at least in terms of good singing skills and big orchestral instruments, Yu Youwei is qualified to teach them, and Yu Youwei has indeed tried her best to teach. In a few words, Yu Youwei changed from a fish girl to Sister Youwei, and the other six Oiran are also sisters, and then without Cao Yi coming forward, she took out six pieces of the six Oiran exclusive flower language soaps that had been made a long time ago, and put them in front of the six Oiran, and after testing the specific efficacy, everyone readily agreed to the "spokesperson" contract that they had never contacted before.

As a well-known public figure in Yangzhou, what color do the six Oiran like, this is the news that can be found out after a little inquiry. And Cao Yi has also made their own soaps in advance. It is different colors corresponding to different oirans, and then depict their six art representative utensils on the soap, such as the guqin depicted by Min Yue, Xin Niyi is the guzheng, Fu Wan'er is the pipa, Huai Die is the flute, Song Lingling is a pattern of a dancing palace maid, and Yun Shao is the flute, each soap is also accompanied by a poem that suits the occasion, which looks extremely elegant, and naturally attracts the love of the six major Oiran, plus as a spokesperson, there is also an endorsement fee of one hundred taels of silver per year, which is equivalent to additional income, and is naturally happy.

This Xiaoxiangfang event, although Chu Mingxuan was not very happy, but the final result was still very good, Cao Yi successfully signed the six Oiran here, so that in the Taibai Chamber of Commerce, the promotion of flower language soap has also been successfully completed, and the next thing is the formation of those performing arts teams when Zuixian Building opened.

However, after Yu Youwei and the six Oirans got together, they also asked the six Oirans if there were any young women in their respective green buildings who had not yet been combed, and wanted to buy them and train them as entertainers in the restaurant. After figuring out what an entertainer is, the six major Oiran promised that if there was a suitable candidate in the Qinglou, they would definitely send someone to inform Yu Youwei or Cao Yi. Yu Youwei also left the address of the Drunken Immortal Building, and asked them to send someone to the Drunken Immortal Building to inform them as soon as they had news.

The reason why there is no Zhizhou Mansion and the address of the Cao Mansion on the other side of the latest Chongya Lane is because it is uncertain when it will be moved, so it is not impossible to guarantee whether there will be people on both sides at that time. Besides, it's not good for the six Qinglou to send people to the Zhizhou Mansion respectively, others don't know what the specific matter is, and it's easy to spread false rumors, and even Fei Haomiao may be rumored by political enemies.

The other is that whether it is Zhizhou Mansion or Chongya Lane, it is in the rich residential area, and there is still a little distance from the bustling downtown area, far from being like the Zuixian Building, which is in the same downtown area as the Six Qinglou, the distance is closer, and it is more convenient to notify or something.

At the request of Cao Yi and invited by Diaosuo, Duan Xinde's Xiaoxiang Boat Gala finally ended happily in a complete and peaceful manner, and everyone went home after having lunch on the painting boat. After Cao Yi and Yu Youwei said goodbye to everyone, they also began to rush to the Zhizhou Mansion, not knowing that there was a big surprise waiting for them in the Zhizhou Mansion at this time.

"Childe!" Cao Yi had just walked into his courtyard in the Zhizhou Mansion when he saw a small figure quickly pounce into his arms with a gust of fragrant wind, and the force made Cao Yi take a small step back.

"Tan Yun, how did you get here?" Cao Yi found at first glance that it was Tan Yun who flew over, otherwise he would have dodged it as soon as possible.

Tan Yun raised his head, looked at Cao Yi, and said emotionally: "Because Tan Yun misses his son too much, so when Brother Liu came over this time, Sister Musk Yue and Sister Raider asked me to come with me...... also said that Sister **, Sister Qingwen, Sister Qifei, Sister Youwei and Sister Jin'er will be very busy and busy, and they have no time to take care of their son, so let me follow me to Yangzhou to take care of my son! ”

"Childe!" Liu Baiqing also walked out of the inner courtyard at this time and saluted Cao Yi.

"Bai Qing!" Cao Yi nodded, and then said to everyone: "Let's all go in and sit down." ”

After everyone entered the lobby and sat down, Tan Yun really asked the envoys and maids below to serve tea to everyone, of course, when Cao Yi was there, the tea in Cao's mansion was always brewed hot tea, not the tea that was popular among the powerful literati in this era.

"Childe, since I received your letter, Commander Yun quickly asked me to lead fifty guards from the Taibai secret camp who met the graduation requirements to come to help, and now these fifty personnel are all staying at the Drunken Immortal Building, after all, there are too many people, so they have not all been brought into the Zhizhou Mansion, and the pass for the Zhizhou Mansion here is still given to us by the military advisor." Liu Baiqing said respectfully.

"Well, is everything okay at home?" Cao Yi looked at Liu Baiqing and asked with concern.
