Chapter 491: Drifting Away
With Youlan's withdrawal, Zi Ning became the leader of the Jiangnan Oiran Conference in the first year of the Apocalypse, and Youlan retreated to second place. Nature.2.
The guests at the scene felt sorry for Youlan's choice, and everyone hoped that Zining and Youlan would have another showdown, but unfortunately Youlan chose to withdraw at the last moment.
From the words that Youlan let the delicate maid convey, the guests could naturally hear her unwillingness, but she was helpless, after all, in front of her was the newly rising talent "Li Sheng", whose talent was not something that Youlan could compete with, so she could only fold with hatred, and her words revealed a bit of tragedy.
However, no matter what, the top three and rankings of the Jiangnan Oiran Conference in the first year of the Apocalypse have been determined, and Wanhualou immediately set off fireworks in the square in front of the attic, and gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to the top.
Guests looked at the night sky lit up by fireworks and toasted in celebration.
Speaking of which, the happiest thing now is the gamblers who bet on the Qing Qi people of the Drunken Moon Pavilion to win the championship, the casinos in Yangzhou will not let go of such a good opportunity to make money, and every Oiran Conference will open a gambling plate, both gambling on the top three, and betting on the final ranking of the twenty Qing Qi people.
As long as the guests are interested, as long as they can make money, the casino can dare to open any kind of gambling market, among which the odds of betting on the final ranking of the twenty Qingqi people are as high as one to one hundred.
Even though the probability of guessing the final ranking of the twenty Qingqi people is very, very low, some gamblers who want to get rich overnight still go forward and fight against the water with a fluke mentality, and later lose all their money.
When Zi Ning was surrounded by the stars in the middle to congratulate, Li Hongyu took off the mask on his face, talked and laughed with Yang Li'er and left.
Now that Zining has won the championship, Li Hongyu's task has been completed, there is no need to stay, according to the usual practice, the top three of the Oiran Conference will go to meet those high-ranking officials and dignitaries who came to the scene, he is not interested in joining in this excitement, nor can he join in this excitement.
"Li Gongzi, you are the person who won the championship in our Drunken Moon Pavilion, you must go to meet the concubine later, presumably the concubine must want to see the demeanor of the prince!"
However, Liu Hongmei has not forgotten Li Hongyu, and it is entirely Li Hongyu's credit that Zining was able to counterattack today, otherwise Zining would not have been able to force Youlan to retreat without a fight anyway, and with Li Hongyu's help, she barely tied with Youlan in the first round of voting.
If there is no Li Hongyu, the person who won the championship at this Oiran Conference must be Youlan who makes women jealous, I am afraid that if it is not for Youlan is a Qinglou woman, she is a lowly person and cannot become a lady, this time she will definitely be able to become one of the Zhejiang ladies who enter the palace.
Liu Hongmei knew very well that this Oiran Conference seemed to be a wonderful duel between Zining and Youlan on the surface, but in fact, it made Li Hongyu successful, making Li Hongyu become a famous talent in the world through the Oiran Conference, which can be described as famous.
In Liu Hongmei's view, high-ranking officials and magnates, including Ran Yuma, must now be very eager to meet Li Hongyu, a talented man.
Besides, this is also an excellent way for Li Hongyu to make friends with powerful people, and then expand his connections.
"Boss Liu, my responsibilities have been fulfilled, and there will be a period later." To Liu Hongmei's surprise, Li Hongyu smiled at her when she heard this, and then drifted away with Yang Li'er, as if she didn't take to heart the rare opportunity to see powerful people such as Ran and the horse, you must know how many people are eager for such an opportunity but can't.
"This Li Gongzi!"
Liu Hongmei was stunned at first when she saw this, and then shook her head helplessly, she knew that Li Hongyu was free and easy by nature and did not like restraint, and he also looked at fame and fortune very lightly, so it was not surprising that there was such a move, and a young and talented person like Li Hongyu was naturally arrogant.
"Brother Sheng, aren't you going to see Master Ma?" Seeing that Li Hongyu was leaving Wanhuatang, Yang Li'er couldn't help but feel quite surprised, and asked in surprise as she walked, it is not easy to meet these high-ranking officials and magnates in Wanhuatang.
Although Yang Li'er is anti-sensual, but from Li Hongyu's point of view, Li Hongyu has no disadvantages in making friends with some dignitaries, and it is more conducive to his future exhibition, and he can also take care of anything in the future.
"I was originally a casual person in Wollongong, but now I have lived up to my mission, there is no need to stay and join in the fun, and steal the limelight from those Qingqi people."
Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said lightly, if he went, wouldn't those high-ranking officials and magnates be messed up, and their identities would also be made public.
With a snort, listening to Li Hongyu's comparison to Zhuge Liang, Yang Li'er couldn't help laughing, but what Li Hongyu said was right, Li Hongyu helped Zining win the Jiangnan Oiran Conference and Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Bei to establish Shu Han.
"And where are we going?" Yang Li'er asked with a smile, it's almost midnight now, can't you just go home?
"I booked a painting boat on Xiao Qinhuai, tonight the bright moon is hanging high, let's go boating on the river, and sing about wine."
Li Hongyu smiled slightly, he had already arranged a place to go, no matter whether Zi Ning could win the championship tonight, he would have to leave Wanhuatang to avoid being recognized, in that case, his hard work would be in vain.
"Hmm!" Yang Li'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, then her cheeks turned red and she nodded heavily, wouldn't it be that she was going to spend this Mid-Autumn Festival night with Li Hongyu on the painting boat.
Li Hongyu noticed the shyness on Yang Li'er's face, and a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, since Yang Xiaotian handed Yang Li'er over to him, then he naturally wanted to create some romantic atmosphere, Yang Li'er had not been running to the Drunken Moon Pavilion during this time, and it was really hard.
Ma Xianglin had already asked the carriage to wait in front of the door of Wanhuatang, carrying Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er to the Xiaoqinhuai River.
"I don't know how to lift!" After learning that Li Hongyu had actually left, a powerful person present couldn't help but sneer, feeling very dissatisfied with Li Hongyu's move.
"People are not arrogant boys!" Ran Xingrang happened to be at the scene, smiled disapprerovingly when he heard the words, and said to everyone at the scene, "Although this person is a little arrogant, he is indeed talented, but he is also a rare talent, which proves that I am a brilliant person and a full of talents." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight is a happy day, don't mind some trivial things, Oiran is still waiting for us." As he spoke, Ran Xingrang smiled and led a group of high-ranking officials and magnates downstairs to meet the three tripod armors of the Oiran Conference who were waiting, and admired Li Hongyu's talent in his heart.
Now that Ran Xingrang has already opened his mouth, it is naturally not good for the high-ranking officials and dignitaries on the scene to be entangled in Li Hongyu's affairs, so as not to sweep away everyone's interest, and instead turn their minds to Zi Ning and Youlan.
Zi Ning and Youlan can be said to have been out of the limelight tonight, overpowering the other eighteen Qing Qi people, and becoming the most dazzling existence at the Oiran Conference, many powerful people have secretly wondered if they can get the two of them.
Although these powerful people are all powerful and wealthy, because everyone is a face-loving person, they will not forcibly seize and force Zining and Youlan to sacrifice themselves like ordinary rich and noble people, but use the method of "elegant prostitution", that is, through the exchange of interests, let the two take the initiative to give their arms.
The kind of overlord who is forced to bow is usually a person who has some small power and doesn't know why, or those who are unscrupulous in the local area on weekdays, these people can't be on the stage at all in the eyes of those magnates.
Although Youlan was defeated by Zi Ning at the Jiangnan Oiran Conference, she was the favorite Qing Qi person of those magnates in Jiangnan, and after seeing Youlan herself, the magnates were shocked by her, and they asked the people of Chunfeng Xuan about the matter of a relative Fang Ze, and many people wanted to take her as a concubine.
Of course, they would pay a price that Qingfeng Xuan couldn't refuse, and they would definitely not let Qingfeng Pavilion suffer, and money was like dung to them at this time.
But if it was said that they wanted to raise donations for the war in Liaodong, these high-ranking officials and dignitaries were not so generous, crying poverty to the court one by one, and they were so stingy that they didn't even want to take out a single child.
For these powerful people with a lot of money, having Youlan can not only taste beauty but also earn enough face, and the life of people of their level is nothing more than fame and fortune.
When the Wanhuatang was bustling, Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er were already boating on the Xiaoqinhuai River on a painting boat, and the two sat around the wine table on the bow deck of the boat to drink and laugh.
Speaking of which, Xiao Qin Huaihe has a special meaning to Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er, if Yang Li'er hadn't deceived Li Hongyu to Aunt Mei's painting boat last year, the relationship between the two would not have become as close as it is now.
"Brother Sheng, you have become famous in one fell swoop at this Oiran Conference, and the guests who come here will definitely be like carp crossing the river."
While talking and laughing, Yang Li'er remembered something, and after laughing, she said to Li Hongyu in a coquettish voice, the most prominent person at this Oiran Conference is naturally Li Hongyu, and with those two new songs, Li Hongyu will definitely be famous all over the world.
"To borrow a sentence from Qi Shaobao, 'I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope Hai Boping is flat'." Li Hongyu shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and said helplessly after drinking the wine in the wine glass in his hand, as if he was not willing to be too ostentatious.
The "Qi Shaobao" in Li Hongyu's mouth naturally refers to the anti-Japanese hero Qi Jiguang, who was added to the title of "Shaobao", so Li Hongyu called it "Qi Shaobao".
It can be seen that it is very difficult for the Ming Dynasty to be promoted from the first rank, and Qi Jiguang's exploits in the southern and northern wars are only "Shaobao", and he has not yet been ranked among the "three dukes".
At the same time, it can also be seen how lucky Li Hongyu is to be named the "Prince Young Master", as long as he goes one step further, then he will become an official of the Ming Dynasty.
It is worth mentioning that among all the actual positions of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, the highest is the official position of the second grade, that is, the six Shangshu and the left and right imperial history, and the official positions above the second rank are all fictitious, that is, the nominal and unreal titles, representing the identity and status.
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there were only a handful of officials who were awarded the title of "Taishi" when they were alive for more than 200 years, and most of the officials who received the title of "Taishi" were posthumously sealed, which was a recognition of the merits and conduct of the deceased during his lifetime, and belonged to the emperor's grace.
"It's a pity, the Qi family's army died in Liaodong." Hearing that Li Hongyu mentioned Qi Jiguang, a look of regret suddenly appeared on Yang Li'er's cheeks, and the troops left behind by Qi Jiguang were almost killed and wounded in the Battle of Salhu.
"A spark can start a prairie fire, and I heard that the surviving officers and soldiers of the Qi family army have been incorporated into the army under the Customs Department, and one day they will create a more brilliant brilliance than in the past."
Li Hongyu knew that Qi Jiguang had a high prestige in the south because of the anti-Japanese war, so he quietly comforted Yang Li'er, the remnants of the Qi family army after the Salhu War had been incorporated into the troops of the naval division, and when the naval division grew into a sea fleet that crossed the Western countries, the people of the Qi family army would write their own historical chapters with the officers and soldiers of the naval division.
"I hope so!" Yang Li'er nodded when she heard this, and her willow eyebrows frowned slightly.
Obviously, she is not optimistic about the future of the Customs Department, in her impression that the corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty are rampant and the Customs Department will not be an exception.
Li Hongyu noticed the change in Yang Li'er's expression at this time, and a helpless smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, knowing that Yang Li'er was prejudiced against the Customs Department in his heart, even if he explained to Yang Li'er now, he would not be able to change his preconceived opinion, only time will tell.
