Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Oiran Controversy
Immediately, thousands of people in the audience were thunderous with joy, applauding Ye Ling's performance, being able to taste such a delicious "appetizer" before the two "main dishes" of the Oiran Contest and the auction, especially for free, all the people who eat melons are naturally very satisfied.
Even Cai Ping, who was on the dragon boat, had a hint of surprise on his face: "Huh? This ship is very interesting, who are the people on it? ”
At this moment, even the shrewd young man next to him couldn't speak, he had carefully studied the fifty or even one hundred potential big customers in front of him at this auction, and the information was also well memorized, but Ye Ling They were too inconspicuous before, who would have thought that they would be a dark horse today?
Cai Ping didn't care, and said happily: "It doesn't matter, anyway, we'll know who they are when the auction begins, anyway, as long as it's the owner, we all welcome it, hehe, haha." ”
Cai Ping smiled, but Duan Wu's face was not good-looking, the championship that was about to be won was gone, although it was not an official competition, it also made Duan Wuye unhappy, especially when he was in Wang Qing's base camp on weekdays, he was even more powerful and domineering, and he was used to being domineering, who would dare to break ground on the head of Ma Wangye like this?
But Duan Wu also knew that this was Jinling City, and he couldn't go too far, so he said to Ye Ling gloomily: "Little brother is very interesting, but your approach seems to be a bit arrogant, isn't it a little bit ignorant of Lao Tzu?" ”
Ye Ling didn't seem to feel the murderous aura in his words at all, but after glancing at him, he wrote lightly: "Who is Your Excellency, your tone seems to be very arrogant?" ”
Duan Wu's face darkened: "Lao Tzu is Duan Wu, the brother-in-law of the King of Chu, boy, you can be regarded as a wanderer, you should have heard of it, right?" ”
Ye Ling's tone remained unchanged: "Oh, Wang Qing, King of Chu, I have heard of it, but I'm sorry, I haven't heard of Your Excellency's name." ”
Duan Wuqi's seven orifices were smoking, and he almost pulled out his knife to cut Ye Ling on the spot, but fortunately he was pulled hard by the people around him, and he said coldly: "Okay, very good, boy, wait and see, Lao Tzu will let you know what regret is!" ”
After saying that, Duan Wu snorted and stopped talking next to him, but Zhou Bancheng and Wang Yizhi of the other two ships would not be as fierce as him, they originally looked down on people like Duan Wu and the underworld, but it was not good to be too offended in the troubled times, seeing Duan Wu was deflated, he was just secretly refreshed in his heart, and then they all came over and talked politely with Ye Ling.
People are polite, of course Ye Ling is also polite, his name is now known in Qingzhou, and few people in Jinling City know it, not to mention that he is so gentle, which also makes others unable to associate with the lord of Liangshan.
While a few of them were talking, the rest of the hundreds of small boats also arrived one after another, and everyone was very tacitly lined up in the order of their previous arrivals, quietly waiting for the start of the two auctions.
This is also the reason why everyone is desperately competing before, on the one hand, it is indeed very face-saving to rank in front, but on the other hand, the sight is better, and the hearing is clearer.
At this time, I heard the eight purple boats slowly leaning towards this side, and the Oiran Contest officially began.
In fact, the so-called Oiran Contest is quite similar to the competition of some variety shows in later generations, except that this Qin Huai Bayan is equivalent to the previous audition, and the remaining eight seeded players after several rounds of knockout rounds are here to choose the final champion today.
This competition is also very simple, first these eight contestants come out to show their talents, which is equivalent to canvassing for votes from fans, and then several judges and the audience jointly select the final champion.
Eight contestants appeared one after another, all of them are beautiful women with both talents and appearances, some charming, some dignified, some cold, some graceful, all have their own characteristics, and they all have their own specialties, so that the audience is not only a feast for the eyes, but also can appreciate the talent.
The performance of every famous prostitute was very good, and finally it was Liu Sisi's turn to appear, and Ye Ling also looked at her intently, looking at this strange woman who lingered with her all night last night and gave her precious virgin chastity.
I saw that Liu Sisi's face had already returned to her usual coldness at this time, and she said to the audience after a slight blessing: "The little woman accidentally got a poem from a distinguished guest yesterday, and today I will make a fool of myself for everyone." ”
After speaking, she lightly opened her lips and began to sing for everyone, in fact, there is also a singer Qin Linglong among the eight peers of Qin Huai, everyone didn't expect that Liu Sisi performed for everyone was not her best "words", but "songs", isn't this based on her own shortcomings, and her strengths? Could it be that she already felt that the Oiran was hopeless and gave up on her own initiative?
But when they heard Liu Sisi start singing, everyone was shocked, everyone didn't expect that her singing voice was also beautiful, not under Qin Linglong at all, especially the lyrics made people feel more enthusiastic.
This lyric is nothing else, it is the song that Ye Ling left to Liu Sisi last night!
In fact, Liu Sisi's real singing skills are still worse than Qin Linglong's, but this song is already impassioned, which forms a huge contrast with Liu Sisi's cold and graceful image, but shows another special charm.
In addition, as soon as she sang this song, Liu Sisi immediately remembered Ye Ling last night, and she also had three points of sadness, three points of regret and four points of happiness in her heart, so she interpreted this song perfectly.
In this song, the soldiers heard the impassionedness, the literati heard the faint sadness, the women heard the faint happiness, everyone heard what they wanted, so they all cheered involuntarily.
In fact, there is also a shady scene in this competition, there are promoters behind this Qin Huai Eight Uniques, everyone would only vote for their own people, but Liu Sisi's performance this time is so good, even many people who shouldn't have voted for her also voted for her, and after the vote, they found out that they had voted for the wrong person, but it was too late.
What's more, they didn't regret it, such a performance that obviously exceeded the rest of the contestants by a large margin, if they didn't vote, everyone's conscience would hurt.
So the final result was unexpected, Liu Sisi won the championship of this Oiran Contest with an absolute advantage!
However, in the later auction of the Oiran's overnight fee, Liu Sisi took the initiative to withdraw, so that the seven peers were secretly happy at the same time, but also made the audience deeply regretful, the owner of the flower boat behind Liu Sisi also had nothing to say, because yesterday they had received a huge return of 20,000 taels of silver, plus today it was by virtue of that song that they accidentally won the Oiran, and in the long run, their harvest is naturally greater.
