Chapter 16: The Oiran Contest (2)

The first person to appear was Xiao Xiao of Cui Honglou, about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a light blue mattress skirt, holding a delicate pipa Shi Shiran walked to the stage, and saluted as he walked, and his soft and sweet voice sounded on the stage.

After listening to pop songs, light music, and piano music for so many years, Yang Zheng feels that his appreciation level is still at a very low level.

Song lyrics can be sung, a word brand name is the format of the score, the little one on the stage quietly played the pipa and sang the lyrics, fifteen or sixteen years old sang this kind of lamentation, so that the audience around the stage listened to it as if they were fascinated.

The little performance didn't last long, and after singing a long song, he put away the pipa and went back to the backstage where his Qinglou was located.

The middle-aged master of ceremonies walked onto the stage with a smile, followed by a small servant carrying a silver flower, and another servant put a delicate tray with a small name written on it on the stage next to the stage.

"Everyone, it's still the old rule, the guest officer who gives the most flowers, the little girl will sing for this guest officer alone in the boudoir, guest officers, what are you waiting for?"

The emcee's voice was very gentle, and the speed of speech was not fast, but it was very inflammatory, Yang Zheng wanted to take out a hundred taels of silver tickets to offer flowers to this little one, it was really good.

"Ten flowers!"

"Ten flowers!"

"Ten flowers!"

……

A series of ten silver flowers, that is, one hundred taels of silver, Yang Zheng withdrew the hand that took out the silver ticket, which was not worse than his one hundred taels.

"Fifty!"

A middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy businessman shouted.

The wealthy merchant was clearly interested in a small solo song.

"One hundred!"

A richly dressed boy glanced at the rich businessman contemptuously and said lightly.

"Two hundred!"

"Three hundred!"

The rich businessmen and the sons of the brother have become the only voice of Fan Lou now, the status of the Great Song Dynasty scholars is high, this is the paradise of the scholars, but the Great Song Dynasty does not inhibit business, so the wealthy businessmen are very rich, they have a lot of money, and there is no need to hide, the two do not give in to each other, and the price is higher and higher.

Yang Zheng silently calculated, plus these two who are still bidding, Xiaoxiao has received nearly three thousand flowers, and the bidding is still continuing.

"Five hundred..."

The rich merchant did not hesitate to add another five hundred after Brother Gongzi called the price.

With the addition of these five hundred, he has already offered two thousand, but Brother Gongzi hesitated and gave up.

"Congratulations to this guest officer, below we have Miss Ruyi who has come to the building with Qingyan..."

Thousands of silver flowers, the small tray must not be able to fit, the little guy pressed a note with three thousand five hundred and eight written on the tray, after the master of ceremonies went down, the Ruyi girl of Yanlailou came to the stage.

Yanlailou is the property of the Cao family, and in the entire Kaifeng Mansion, the fame can only be regarded as middle and upper. It is also the only Qinglou industry of the Cao family, and the Qinglou industry is the easiest place to collect information in this era, just like the restaurant, and most Qinglou will do some work to collect intelligence, which is also the purpose of the Cao family's involvement in the Qinglou.

Ruyi looks almost the same as Xiaoxiao, much taller, more masculine in dress, holding a long sword in her hand, looking heroic, and with her on stage, there are a few drummers holding big drums.

Sword dance, this dance in the Tang Dynasty was carried forward by Gongsun Auntie, everyone knows, at the moment in the stage of Ruyi a long sword, put the Buddha Gongsun Auntie reborn, the Great Song Dynasty heavy text, the suppression of the martial arts has never stopped, the military generals clamp their tails to be people, and there are fewer and fewer people who practice martial arts, even if they learn martial arts, there is not much way out, so the force is not popular in the Great Song Dynasty, and the sword dance is naturally not very popular.

At this time, Ruyi, who was fused with the sword light on the stage, made these people who looked down on force from the bottom of their hearts feel the beauty of what kind of power.

The dull drum beat slowly came down, and the sweat was so fragrant that he arched his hand to the stage with a long sword and a manly demeanor, and retreated to the day after tomorrow.

As soon as the master of ceremonies came on stage to speak, the voice in the stands rang out:

"Ten flowers!"

"Fifty!"

"Thirty!"

"Forty!"

These are the middle-class and upper-class audiences, who are worth a lot of money, and the rich and nowhere to spend are competing to be alone with Miss Ruyi, they are self-aware, and voting is just like.

"Two hundred!"

"Five hundred!"

"Five hundred!"

"One thousand..."

There are many rich people in Kaifeng Mansion, not only people from Kaifeng Mansion, but also people from other places, in the voice of a few hundred taels, the big man next to Yang Zheng suddenly shouted out a thousand flowers, and suddenly a large area of eyes focused.

Dahan is obviously a northerner, tall and burly with a figure of at least one meter nine, a general cloth of Hufu modified from the Khitan, and some traces of wear, he doesn't look like a rich man, of course, he can give away 10,000 taels of silver lightly, and it may also be low-key.

"A group of shameless scholars who are full of benevolence and morality, and who steal men and prostitutes behind their backs..."

The big man looked down with disdain and said in a low voice.

Yang Zheng glanced at the Confucian shirt on his body, and found that he was probably also a scholar in the eyes of the big man, the big man turned his head and glared at Yang Zheng fiercely.

"A thousand!"

A wealthy merchant who had just given five hundred called again.

"A thousand!" Dahan shouted without hesitation.

Maybe it was frightened by the big man's inevitable tone, after the big man shouted again, no one followed up, the highest was still two thousand, but the total number of silver flowers received by Ruyi reached five thousand and five, which was much more than Xiaoxiao.

After Ruyi, it is the Tianxian Building, look at the name to know that this Qinglou is one of the best Qinglou in Kaifeng Mansion, this Qinglou is open directly opposite Taixue, the Oiran of the Tianxian Building is not only unique in color and art, but also good at learning, even if it is an ordinary red man, but also proficient in poetry, it is the most popular Qinglou among literati and scholars.

And the Oiran on the stage is called Zhihua, looks really like a fairy, the performance is also unique, on the huge stage spread about a zhang of rice paper, each hand holds a huge brush, dance while painting, the dance is completed, the painting on the ground can also be completed.

Yang Zheng couldn't tell whether the painting was good or bad, but there was thunderous applause on the stage.

In the Great Song Dynasty, wealthy businessmen tried their best to send their children and grandchildren to study in the school, expecting them to be admitted to the Jinshi, and the most important thing these scholars lacked was money.

The shouts of one thousand and two thousand were endless, and the old bustard of Tianxian Lou smiled and couldn't put his mouth together, and in the end, Zhihua obtained nearly 10,000 flowers, which made other Qinglou envious.

After Tianxian Tower, although many of the Oiran of Qinglou are beautiful and live up to the name of Oiran, although the program performed is unsatisfactory, it does not make Yang Zheng feel refreshed, too monotonous.

In addition to Tianxian Building and Yanlai Building, the reason why the other Qinglou won was that the quality of the lyrics of the Oiran performance was higher than that of others, Yang Zheng did not have much interest in these words, there were too many words and phrases that have been passed down through the ages in his mind, and he was more interested in singing and dancing.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the best dances appeared in the Qinglou and the court, Yang Zheng came to this era for three years, and he had seen not many entertainment projects, except for going to the street to see the juggling, he could only go to a big restaurant or Qinglou like Fanlou.

Leaving Fan Lou satisfied, it was already the middle of the night.
