August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival. (8)?

Compared with the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years, because of the arrival of the Jiangnan Oiran Conference, the streets of Yangzhou City are more prosperous than in the past, and people with luxurious clothes and foreign accents can be seen everywhere.

As the most prosperous and wealthy place in the world, Yangzhou has always been the host of the Jiangnan Oiran Conference, and the famous green buildings in Yangzhou City are held in turn to do the east, and this year it is the turn of Wanhuatang, one of the three green buildings in Yangzhou.

In order to cope with the Jiangnan Oiran Conference, the Qinglou who came to participate in the competition from all over the country arrived in advance, in order to adapt to the environment, and let the Qing people launched by them perform for those dignitaries and famous businessmen gathered in Yangzhou City, and accumulate popularity in advance.

After the contact of these events, the outside world has already understood the Qingqi people who participated in the competition, and the four Qingqi people, including Zining, were favored by the outside world and were considered to be strong contenders for the Oiran of the Jiangnan Conference.

Of course, when it comes to fame, Zining is naturally the most, and her song in the casino that night is amazing.

What is particularly important is that it is the mysterious genius "Huguang Li Sheng" who taught Zining, which is also the focus of Zining's attention, and Li Hongyu's "composition" is very popular in the market, and its talent is widely sung.

However, due to the accidental leak, the outside world has many doubts about Zining's victory, after all, it is difficult for Li Hongyu to make a good song and complete the choreography in just three days, and Zining's singing will also be affected.

In the afternoon, the Drunken Moon Pavilion.

"Girl, Li Gongzi, they're back."

Liu Hongmei was impetuous in the room reprimanding a subordinate who had done something wrong, and her middle-aged maid walked in briskly and said to her in surprise.

"Let's go!" Liu Hongmei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she didn't care about the subordinate, she walked out with a step, she had a lot of heart for the Oiran Conference in the past few days.

Seeing this, the subordinate who was being trained with his head down couldn't help but look up at the middle-aged maid, who waved her hand to her, signaling that she could go, and then quickly caught up with Liu Hongmei.

In the courtyard where Li Hongyu lived before, Liu Hongmei saw Zining, and immediately shushed and asked for warmth, and after learning that Li Hongyu had composed a new song as Zining's repertoire, Liu Hongmei was immediately relieved.

Although Liu Hongmei doesn't know the specific lyrics and songs, listening to the name is a good song, otherwise Zining will never look confident.

Therefore, Liu Hongmei is very grateful to Li Hongyu, and if it were not for Li Hongyu, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Li Hongyu brought Zining here this time to dress up, and the dresses and accessories of Zining to participate in the Oiran Conference were kept by Liu Hongmei, and it was inconvenient for Li Hongyu to interfere in these things.

"Girl, the maid has already inquired about it, Li Gongzi has made a new song for Zining, it seems to be the track for Zining to participate in the Oiran Conference!"

Soon, Hongxia's maid inquired about Zining, and hurriedly went to report to Hongxia, looking a little panicked, she didn't expect Li Hongyu to really make a new tune for Zining within three days.

As Hongxia's personal maid, she and Hongxia are people in the same boat, and they can be described as both prosperous and lossy, so naturally they don't want Zining to win the championship in the Oiran Conference.

“？” A look of surprise appeared on Hongxia's cheeks, she couldn't imagine that Li Hongyu would use the name of a famous guqin song as the title of a new song, which requires a lot of courage, once the song is not satisfactory, it will be laughable and generous.

"Sure enough, he is a talented man, and his talent is outstanding." Then, Hongxia sneered and said to the maid, "Go, tell Zi Ning that 'good' news!" ”

"I'll do it, son." The maid smiled when she heard this, turned around and walked away quickly.

"Hmph, fight me? Grandma wants to see how you deal with this trick! After the maid left, Hongxia muttered to herself coldly, a smug look appeared on the corner of her mouth, fortunately she had prepared before, otherwise she would be in a mess now.

"Zining, your sister-in-law is here." While Zi Ning was carefully dressed in front of the dresser, a maid led a woman in her thirties and dressed plainly into the room.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here? Everything is fine at home! Seeing this, Zi Ning couldn't help but smile happily, and said to the middle-aged woman in a coquettish voice.

"Good, all good!" The middle-aged woman looked a little anxious, put the basket she was carrying on the table next to her and said, "Mother knows that you are very tired for the Oiran Conference, so I asked me to bring you some eggs to replenish your body." ”

"You thank my mother on my behalf."

Zi Ning's heart suddenly warmed when she heard this, and she said to the middle-aged woman with a smile, "Sister-in-law, since you are here, don't leave, stay and watch the Oiran Conference in the evening." ”

"Good, good!" The middle-aged woman nodded her head again and again, and her eyes looked a little flustered.

Zi Ning was happy, she didn't notice the middle-aged woman's abnormal expression at this time, she was very happy that the middle-aged woman could come.

Due to the poverty of her family when she was young, Zi Ning was sold into the Drunken Moon Pavilion when she was seven years old, although she was not jealous of her parents in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that the family was so poor that she couldn't open the pot, what parent would push her own daughter into the fire pit?

Zi Ning did not suffer after entering the Drunken Moon Pavilion, she was taken by Liu Hongmei and carefully cultivated, preparing to make her a generation of famous prostitutes.

Therefore, Zining was able to help the family from time to time, so that the younger siblings in the family would not be sold like her, the life of the family gradually improved, and the eldest brother was able to marry a wife.

It can be said that Zi Ning has supported the family, and if there is no Zi Ning, her eldest brother will not even be able to marry a wife.

In the living room, Li Hongyu and Liu Hongmei were chatting about the Oiran Conference at night, for Liu Hongmei, the top priority now was the Oiran Conference, and for this reason, she had entrusted the affairs of the Drunken Moon Pavilion to others.

There is no threshold for participation in the Oiran Conference, as long as it is a Qinglou, you can sign up for the competition, but in addition to the famous Qinglou, in order to avoid the uneven quality of the Qing people who participated, the rest of the Qinglou must go through the audition if you want to participate, and only those Qingqi people who are both beautiful and artistic can participate in the main competition at night.

Generally speaking, there are 20 Qingqi people who can be lucky enough to participate in the evening competition, all of whom are talented and beautiful women, and are highly sought after by high-ranking officials and nobles.

Liu Hongmei already knew the lyrics at this time, which is full of praise, plum blossoms are regarded as a symbol of loyalty and unyielding, Li Hongyu to plum love, is really wonderful, just the artistic conception will be higher than the rest of the Qing people who participated.

"Girl, it's not good, Zining is in a sudden emergency, I'm already fainting in pain!" Suddenly, Liu Hongmei's middle-aged maid hurriedly rushed in and said to Liu Hongmei in a hurry.

"What?" Li Hongyu and Liu Hongmei were both shocked when they heard this, they never expected Zining to have such an accident at such a critical moment.

didn't have time to think about it, the two of them and Yang Li'er on the side hurriedly got up and rushed to Zi Ning's dressing room, only to see Zi Ning lying on the bed with her eyes closed, as if she had fainted.

"What's going on?" Liu Hongmei checked Zi Ning and asked the maid who was waiting on the side.

"We don't know, Miss Zining was fine just now, and suddenly she covered her stomach and cried out in pain, and then she fainted." The leading maid was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, and replied nervously, no one expected Zi Ning to suddenly fall ill.

"Quick, go and get the doctor, bring the best doctor in the city!" Liu Hongmei was already anxious at this time, and hurriedly shouted at the people beside her, seeing that Zining was about to participate in the Oiran Conference, who would have thought that such an accident would kill her.

Li Hongyu stood in front of the bed and stared at Zi Ning with his eyes tightly closed, definitely this matter is a little strange, why did Zi Ning get sick for no reason?

Besides, if she is really sick, according to the previous description of the leading maid, her face should be white now, and there should be cold sweat on her forehead, and her eyes will naturally close when she faints, but Zining's eyes are closed a little tightly, which means that she should still be conscious.

"Brother Sheng, I think Miss Zining seems to be pretending." At this time, Yang Li'er, who was standing next to Li Hongyu, leaned into her ear and whispered the doubts in her heart.

The so-called authorities are fascinated, and bystanders are clear, because it involves vital interests, Liu Hongmei is now in a mess, so she didn't notice Zining's current abnormality.

Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er are different, they are not as anxious as 6 Hongmei, so they can see something strange from Zining's current appearance.

"Apart from you, has Zi Ning seen anyone else?"

After listening to Yang Li'er's words, Li Hongyu called out the leading maid and asked in a deep voice in a secluded place in the courtyard.

In Li Hongyu's opinion, if Zi Ning is pretending to be sick, then it is likely to be because of something, in other words, she knows some bad news, and the people who take care of Zi Ning are Liu Hongmei's subordinates, so he must first check from outsiders.

"Zining's sister-in-law is here." The leading maid stabilized her flustered mind for a moment, and then replied, "There are no outsiders else. ”

"Have they ever been alone?" Li Hongyu couldn't help but glance at Yang Li'er beside him when he heard this, and asked quietly.

"Their sister-in-law haven't seen each other for a long time, and they talked together for a while, and soon Miss Zining fell ill." The leading maid answered honestly when she heard this, and then looked at Li Hongyu suspiciously, could it be that Zining's sister-in-law has a problem? Otherwise, why did Li Hongyu ask in such detail.

"Where's her sister-in-law?" Li Hongyu had already guessed that Zi Ning's illness was related to her sister-in-law at this time, so he looked at the leading maid and asked in a deep voice, he hadn't seen anyone outside the Drunken Moon Pavilion in the room where Zi Ning was just now.

"Let's go, saying that there are many things at home that are inseparable, and Zi Ning hopes that she can watch the Oiran Conference in the evening." The leading maid replied when she heard this, and then couldn't help but ask curiously, "Gongzi Li, is Zining's illness related to her sister-in-law?" ”

"My son doesn't know, don't spread this matter." Li Hongyu shook his head, and then solemnly admonished.

"Brother Sheng, it seems that someone has made an off-the-plate move against Zi Ning, making it impossible for Zi Ning to participate in the Oiran Conference at night with peace of mind."

After waiting for the leading maid to leave, Yang Li'er frowned and said to Li Hongyu, since Zi Ning is now in the limelight, it is really not easy to know who is the black hand.

"If Zi Ning doesn't want to participate in the Oiran Conference, the other party must be threatening her with her relatives, otherwise her sister-in-law wouldn't come alone."

Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, now he has too little news at hand to judge who is behind the scenes, except for Hongxia, those Qinglou who want to win the championship at the Oiran Conference may do such a dirty thing.

"Let's go, let's go talk to Zi Ning and see if we can help her solve this matter." As he spoke, Li Hongyu bowed slightly to Yang Li'er and led her into the house, ready to figure out what was going on.
