Chapter 277: A Carnival?
@: Chapter 277
The Qinhuai River is crowded with people, the annual Oiran Contest has kicked off, the beauties from the major painting boats of the Qinhuai River gather in the Biyun Pavilion, on the Biyun Pavilion, the forces of all parties, Jinling talents, dignitaries and nobles gathered, so many people appreciate the beautiful style of the Qinhuai River.
The so-called Oiran Contest is essentially a carnival, a carnival of talented people, and a carnival of dignitaries. This is the original intention of the creation of the Oiran Contest, but with the passage of time, especially after the deep involvement of various forces, the Oiran Contest has been given a lot of meaning, and especially this year, the Oiran Contest is full of gunpowder.
At the beginning of the Oiran Contest, the beauties from all sides were stationed in Biyun Pavilion and its surrounding painting boats according to their different levels, and those who followed the beauties into the painting boat were their supporters.
For example, Li Qianqian, the top brand of the Mirage Pavilion, was stationed in Ziruyuan of Biyun Pavilion, with Ziruyuan as the core, and the other rooms were occupied by the talents around Li Qianqian, including Li Mu, including Ruan Shaolin and many others.
As the host, Fan Duoduo no longer lives in his own boudoir, but lives in the Xiangcui Garden of Biyun Pavilion, and Fan Duoduo's followers like Gu Huitang also live in the guest rooms near the Xiangcui Garden.
In addition, Song Wanzhou of Tianshui Pavilion lives in Bishui Garden, and Zhang Xinyue of Liancheng Pavilion lives in Ethereal Residence, and the duration of the entire Oiran Contest is half a month, a full half a month of competition, and the top ten beauties of the Oiran Contest are finalized first.
Then the top three beauties are selected among the top ten, and finally, the first Oiran beauties are finalized.
This process has both the evaluation of authoritative figures, and more is one after another drinking party, poetry meeting, the beauties judge the level with strength, the whole process is lively and exciting, it is not an exaggeration to say that this half a month is half a month of carnival in the Qinhuai River......
Lu Zheng has already been stationed in Biyun Pavilion, his identity is special, according to the Gu family's prior arrangement, Lu Zheng was arranged in the VIP room in Biyun Pavilion.
And Lu Zheng has the same treatment as His Royal Highness King Qin, His Royal Highness King Pu, Su Qing, and the leaders of each family, this time the Gu family only left an upper room for the Lu family, and this upper room is now occupied by Lu Zheng, Lu Qian originally wanted to go to Biyun Pavilion to wander around, but when he heard the news, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He Lu Qian is a dignified member of the five grades, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to live in an upper room in Biyun Pavilion, and Lu Zheng, a concubine of the Lu family, a little talent, why did the Gu family give him such courtesy?
What's even more infuriating is that he and Lu Zheng are father and son, his father is so despised, but Lu Zheng, as a son of man, is unexpectedly valued, which makes Lu Qian feel very ashamed, but he is helpless.
Recently, the affairs of the Lu family have been out of control one after another, the matter of Tianshui Pavilion being moved to Sankong Bridge has not yet been completely clarified, and there has been such a turmoil after the start of the Oiran Competition, Lu Qian now has the heart to grasp the situation of Tianshui Pavilion in the Oiran Competition, but can he pull down his face and live in an ordinary guest house near Song Wanzhou?
And now, after Lu Zheng entered Biyun Pavilion, he has not shown up, and everyone doesn't know what his attitude is, Lu Qian wants to show off his father's majesty, and call Lu Zheng over to admonish him, this wish can't be realized, he can only watch the situation get out of his control.
……
On the third day of Lu Zheng's entry into Biyun Pavilion, the Oiran Contest was in full swing, because the fiercest competition had not yet come, and none of the top talents related to the outcome of the Oiran Contest had yet to appear.
Li Mu, Ruan Shaolin, Ruan Cong and other talents have not yet appeared, Fan Duoduo and Li Qianqian and other top girls, in the past few days of the competition, naturally are soaring, there is no opponent, on the whole, the situation is very calm, and Lu Zheng can just be quiet and study with peace of mind.
For Lu Zheng, his psychological age is no longer a teenager, Qinhuai River is a vanity fair, and the Oiran Contest is an excellent place for talents to become famous.
These newcomers have unexpectedly been sought after by various forces, and the scene is really your singing and my debut, which is very lively!
If Lu Zheng happened to be a teenager, he would definitely have to show it if he couldn't bear it, but now, his heart is like water, and he lives on the painting boat, which is no different from living at home!
"Childe, the prince of Qin has already released his words, saying that this time the Mirage Pavilion will inevitably win the championship. Listen to his tone, disdain for you, it seems that he has the intention of coming at you! The boy stood behind Lu Zheng and said in a low voice.
Lu Zheng frowned slightly, and said, "The prince of Qin doesn't know me, why is he hostile to me?" Is it because I didn't support Li Qianqian of the Mirage Pavilion? ”
The boy pondered for a moment and said, "Childe, in fact, the current situation is not a great opportunity for you. I think King Qin's side has the intention of soliciting you, and Lord Zhan Tianqi is also very important to you. In such a situation, Childe can completely plan for himself, if you can enter any of them, they will be a great help to you in the future, Childe, you see ......"
"Haha!" Lu Zheng laughed, looked at the boy, and said, "Boy, let me ask you, in the current situation, do you think it is the Jiangnan power lord or His Royal Highness the King of Qin who has the advantage?" Or is the prince dominant? ”
The boy frowned and said: "From the perspective of the situation, although the Gu family in the Jiangnan power valve is aggressive and very imposing, it is a tiger with teeth pulled out after all, and it is just a bluff. And the tiger and wolf people of His Royal Highness King Qin are decisive and decisive, eloquent and strategic, and have the ambition of an emperor.
The Gu family is actually in absolute weakness against King Qin, and as for Dai Xiang's lineage and feminine behavior, it is even more necessary to be guarded against, and it must not be underestimated! ”
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "That's right, in the current situation, I naturally can't vote for King Qin." I've always done things in the same way, preferring to be in the middle of the snow rather than icing on the cake.
The same is true of things in this world, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and it is easy to add icing on the cake. What you see is only the differences between me and the Lu family and the Jiangnan authorities, but you don't take into account that the skin will not be attached to it?
I am the Lu family, this can never be changed, the Lu family is my insurmountable bondage, and I need to break free from this shackle internally.
But once faced with outside forces, no matter how big the matter between me and the Lu family is, it is a family matter, how can I easily take refuge in the King of Qin or the crown prince?
Even if I take refuge in them now, once the Jiangnan power is completely weakened, what value will I have? ”
When Lu Zheng said this, the boy was sweating all over, and he couldn't help admiring Lu Zheng in his heart, indeed, Lu Zheng was much taller than him.
In fact, Lu Zheng's thoughts are easy for everyone to understand in modern times, but in the historical background of the Dakang Dynasty, even the top talents have limited books, which are far less than people's insight and vision in the era of information explosion.
"Childe, what should we do now? Wait and see what happens? Or do you want to make a plan? The boy said.
The corners of Lu Zheng's mouth curled slightly, and said: "I have the status of master and apprentice with Master Su Qingsu, and in the current situation, everyone is idle, so you can do this, hand me a post over, and I will invite him to the banquet!" ”
Lu Zheng stood up after speaking, and said, "Okay, you go and deliver the post, I'll go out for a walk......"
Lu Zheng lived in the VIP upper room, because the upper room was on the painting boat, and there were four directions from the VIP upper room to the top floor of Biyun Pavilion.
The four directions on the top floor of Biyun Pavilion are Ziru Garden, Xiangcui Garden, Bishui Garden and Ethereal House. These four places are the residences of the four major painting boats.
This arrangement is naturally convenient for guests who live in the VIP upper room to go to any girl's residence at any time, Lu Zheng has not been out since he boarded the painting boat, and the shadow has been guarding the door, and he has been panicking in his heart these days.
Today, Lu Zheng finally came out, and the shadow came over happily and said, "Childe, have you finally figured it out?" In the past few days, the girl has asked people to bring tea every day! ”
Lu Zheng bowed his head lightly and said, "Got it!" Let's go to Bishui Court today! ”
"Uh......" Ying Er was slightly stunned, and stopped talking, obviously she was a little dissatisfied with Lu Zheng's choice. In her view, Song Wanzhou of Bishui Yuan couldn't compare with Fan Duoduo at all.
Fan Duoduo is really from a famous family, and he is a Qing Qi person, both in terms of talent and appearance, and his reputation is even better, if Lu Zheng really wants to praise a girl, he should praise a girl like Fan Duoduo.
And a woman like Song Wanzhou, who was born in an opera, is extremely humble. In addition, Song Wanzhou and Lu Jun secretly communicated with each other, and they were not Baibi for a long time, such a girl was not a Qing person at all, if the relationship between her and Lu Jun was poked out, Song Wanzhou might not even be able to sit firmly in the top position of Tianshui Pavilion!
Such a girl, the shadow can't look down on her, she naturally doesn't want Lu Zheng to hold it!
Bishui Garden, Lu Zheng walked up the stairs, and after a long distance, he heard Lu Jun's voice: "What do you mean by this?" What is the matter with me going to meet Miss Song? Why are you so brainless? ”
"Jun Gongzi, if it were a weekday, this would not be a problem at all, but now is the time of the Oiran Competition, and Miss Song can be said to be extremely tired in order to cope with those challenges.
Jun Gongzi, you better go back, the current situation, everything is focused on the competition, the girl is so ordered, we can only do what we are told, don't embarrass our subordinates! ”
Lu Zheng listened carefully to the movement, and finally figured out that it was Lu Jun who dared to love because Lu Jun had eaten the closed door! He couldn't help but laugh dumbly, Lu Jun can be said to have made a lot of money in order to support this Song Wanzhou, is it so difficult to look back and see this woman?
In fact, Lu Zheng is really right, Lu Jun has really never met Song Wanzhou since he got on the painting boat, today he really couldn't hold it back, and secretly ran over, but he didn't expect to eat the closed door.
If this matter fell on the ordinary son-in-law, it would have to make a big fuss, but Lu Jun was pacing at the door repeatedly, looking at his appearance, he didn't mean to be angry at all!
