In the next few days, things were going on as usual, and the Spark Secret Camp was also practicing as always, but since Yun Qing joined, several more trainings have been added every day, one is the boxing technique that Yun Qing has improved since Cao Yina learned it, one is the knife technique used on the battlefield, and the remaining one is a formation training, after all, marching and fighting are not street fights, but still have to pay attention to rules and arrays. After practicing for a few days, the formation training also became impressive, presumably relying on the previous phalanx and military posture to train well, laying a solid foundation.

In Jiangning City, as the New Year approaches, the atmosphere of joy gradually intensifies, in addition to the New Year getting closer and closer, there will be a six-day event to be held. That is, the Jiangning Qinglou industry will take advantage of the small annual meeting to hold a competition to determine the eight leaders and the first Oiran of Jiangning Chengqinglou next year.

If the previous Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting and Chongyang Poetry Festival were more of a carnival of talents, then the Shangyuan Festival is a festival of talents and beauties, and this Oiran final election is a grand event for beautiful people.

It's just that this beauty refers to the beauty in the Qinglou Hook Column, not everyone's beauty, in this era, the reputation and status of the Qinglou Qingqi people are also good, if there is a talent implicated with it, it is also an elegant thing, if there are some singing and crying stories, it will be more widely spread, and even spread as a beautiful talk.

In the many festivals mentioned before, whether it is the Shangyuan Festival or the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club, or the Chongyang Poetry Club, after all, there are not too many conflicts of interest, it is nothing more than a competition of poetry talents without the first place, and the talents meet friends with poetry, although there is also the support of the government behind them, but it is only to maintain the basic order.

But the Oiran competition, can be related to the reputation and interests of more than 100 Qinglou in Jiangning City, which one has more than a line leader, then there are more signboards, if the red card under the name has more than the title of Oiran, then the Qinglou is directly more than a cornucopia, will definitely make a lot of money, so this kind of competition is not just a false name of a talent, but real money, if there is any cheating and greasy things in the competition or after the competition, then it will have to be ripped off. Therefore, in every Qinglou Oiran competition, the government will come forward as a fair judge, and this year is naturally no exception.

In addition to providing the venue, the government also prepared a bouquet, and each bouquet of flowers is ten taels of silver, in previous years, there were more wealthy businessmen and giants to send 10,000 bouquets of flowers, in fact, how can there really be 10,000 bouquets of flowers sent out, it is nothing more than spending money to buy a shout, roll call who who who sent a hundred bouquets of flowers to a certain building, probably like this. As for the silver to buy flowers, eighty percent of the money given to the girl in the green building in the end, will be attributed to that green building, and the remaining two percent is the cost of holding a flower contest for the government, so no matter who it is given to, as long as it is bought and sent out, the government will levy two percent of it, which is equivalent to drought and flood to ensure the harvest, and every month

The profits and taxes are still calculated.

Therefore, at the end of the year, the government can pay more than 20% of the cost of buying flowers for the Oiran competition out of thin air, and this cost is quite a lot every year, which is also an important reason why the government is willing to hold the Oiran competition.

The rules of the whole competition can be said to be very simple, although it is selected according to the four categories of quality, rhyme, talent and color, but the final score is calculated according to the bouquet given by others, whether it is the head of the eight lines or the oiran, it is very important to have both talent and appearance, and it is more important to make money, so as long as you can pull people to spend money to support you. Even if you were unknown before, but suddenly there are many rich people who are willing to send you flowers all the way to the money, it is possible to send you directly to the Oiran throne.

The Oiran competition is not only a day in the small year, but the final final selection of the Oiran competition on the day of the small year, the official start should be the eighteenth day of the lunar month, the first two days in Jiangning City, large and small more than 100 green buildings united to stir up the atmosphere, everyone will have a tacit understanding of the continuous publicity, some even in the outside of the terrace performance, or on the Qinhuai River painting boat, along the Qinhuai River while opening and performing are available, just to attract more people's attention.

These two days are for the final competition to build momentum, the usual must be charged for the cost of flower tea is basically not charged, and the cost of drinking is halved, it can be said that it is to stimulate more people to come to the door, and then let some women who are not very famous in the past perform, some are just performing arts, some are selling art and selling themselves, but in any case, to perform on stage, you must have skills to press.

If someone sees that they like it, they will buy flowers and send them to prove how popular and popular this woman is. During this period of time, there will also be Qinglou's own hype, spending money to buy and drink, inviting some familiar benefactors, promising to waive a lot of alcohol costs, or let his favorite famous prostitutes have a separate banquet and the like, if there are many people watching, send dozens or hundreds of bouquets, you can mobilize the enthusiasm of other visitors, whether it is to fund flowers or give flowers, or to spread widely in the personal field, at least the girl's reputation and popularity are up.

For example, let some familiar talents write poems and praise them, package their own girls, add some elegant ingredients, and the favorite in this era is the story of talented and beautiful women, so that you can increase the value of the girl.

Of course, all of the above depends on the means of each Qinglou, if there is a gold owner, it will naturally be an unexpected joy, but even if it is not, it can rely on the performance of these two days to attract a lot of popularity.

After the first three days of the competition were heated, the government would give more places according to the results of each green building, and at the beginning, each green building would have one place, and each green building would sign up for the most popular red card in its own building

Oiran competition. At the level of the four major green buildings in Jiangning City, one or two more places are generally given, so that they can have double insurance or even three insurance to compete for the top eight and the Oiran.

In the next three days, it is the highlight of the entire Oiran competition, and on the twenty-first day of the lunar month, more than 100 people selected from more than 100 green buildings in Jiangning City will be selected according to their talent shows, body shapes, and the number of bouquets they have received. On the twenty-second night of the lunar month, these sixteen people performed to show themselves to the fullest, and the eight leaders of the Qinglou in Jiangning City were selected according to the criteria of quality, rhyme, talent, and color, and on the evening of the twenty-third day, that is, the Chinese New Year's Eve, the strongest flower was decided from the eight major leaders, and most of the people who could participate in these three nights were famous talents or powerful people, because the flower was born with their heavy financial support.

In the first three days, Tan Yun had already been impatient to go to the street to watch the kind of Qinglou performance that built an open-air stage, and I didn't know what kind of mentality this little girl had, she was so enthusiastic about the selection of the Oiran, but she didn't know that when she was still in the Golden Wind Building when she was young, she had already made up her mind that she would definitely be an Oiran when she grew up in the future, so that she could rest assured that she could continue to perform all the time. Even if you grow up, you can choose whether to pick up customers according to your own wishes, and you don't have to be afraid to be at the mercy of Li's mother, because the goal of being a child has long been deeply rooted in her heart and grew up with her, so even if she has been redeemed by Cao Yi now, she still has an unusual attachment to the Oiran competition in her heart.

Because Tan Yun himself didn't hold any specific work in the Drunken Immortal Building, and he usually wandered around, it was nothing more than which sister happened to be busy, so she started running errands or something, Cao Yi also specially allowed if there was a stage performance in the Qinglou near the Drunken Immortal Building, Tan Yun could run out to have a look, but he definitely couldn't bring Yun Lan, Tan Yun was okay alone, just enough to take care of himself, but coupled with the younger Yun Lan, there must be a lot of people watching the performance at that time, and it is very likely that they will be separated or lost. The most important thing is that her brother Tangtai Mingde will not allow Tantai Yunlan to go out to see any Oiran performance, so Tanyun has no choice but to give up.

Tan Yun was very excited to see it on the first day, and when he came back, he told everyone that the girl in the Qinglou had won the flowers that had been given by whom, which talented man had written a few poems to which girl and gave them away on the spot, and which two rich boys were jealous of each other......

The same is true on the second day, but I ran out in the afternoon and only watched it for a while, and then I came back, saying that I thought it was boring, and many of the singing and dancing performances of the Qinglou girls were not even as good as she came, and I felt bored when I watched too much alone, or I watched it comfortably in the drunken fairy building when the official competition was held on the next three days.
