After Qi Yu thought about it carefully, he stepped forward and arched his hand to Kuang Yu and said, "In Qi Yu in Xia Leng Mansion, I have seen Kuang Gongzi.

That Kuang Yu saw that Qi Yu was very polite, and after thinking about it in his heart, he bowed his hand and said: "Kuang Yu has heard of the name of Qi Gongzi for a long time, and when I see it today, I am fortunate to have three lives." ”

Qi Yu heard Kuang Yu's compliments, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Eh, this Kuang Gongzi is polite, my reputation in this capital is very stinky." After saying that, he laughed out loud, as if he didn't take this reputation to heart at all, but seemed to think that his notoriety in Beijing was worth showing off.

When Kuang Yu heard Qi Yu's words, he also laughed a few times, but in his heart he felt that this Qi Yu was not as rude as rumored in Beijing, and judging from his attitude towards himself just now, he was a very bold person.

After Qi Yu finished speaking to this Kuang Yu, he turned his head and shouted to Sun Xiong, who was laughing on the side, "Hey, I said Brother Sun, what is the so-called matter of inviting me and Brother Kuang to come today, I don't believe that with your temperament of breaking the door, you will be willing to invite me to come to this Baolong Lake for a while." After finishing speaking, he stared at Sun Xiong with a very suspicious gaze, wanting to see what kind of medicine was sold in this Sun Xiong's gourd.

When Sun Xiong heard Qi Yu's words, he first laughed on the spot for a while, and said: "If I say, I invite you here just to have a good time, do you believe it?" Before Qi Yu showed a look of disdain, he immediately clapped his hands.

As soon as he finished clapping his hands, he said with a smile: "Come Brother Qi, let me introduce you to this beauty, Red Sleeves, why don't you come and meet this Qi Gongzi and Kuang Gongzi?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the woman who was still stroking the qin just now hurriedly got up and walked in the direction of Qi Yu, her charming eyes were full of spring, her lips and teeth were red and white, and there was an indescribable style.

After coming to Qi Yu's side, he owed a debt, and said with a charming smile: "Red sleeves have seen Qi Gongzi, Kuang Gongzi." ”

When Qi Yu saw this appearance, he hurriedly replied, "Eh...... In Xia Qiyu, I saw the girl. As soon as the words fell, his eyes rolled, but he didn't wait at his feet, he walked quickly to Sun Xiong's side, pulled his sleeve, and whispered in his ear and wondered: "Brother Sun, did you really let me come to be happy?" ”

Sun Xiong heard Qi Yu's words, and smiled: "Of course, you look at me like this, do you seem to be lying to your brother Qi?" ”

Qi Yu really took a closer look at this Sun Xiong's expression, and found that he was serious, not like he was making fun of him Qi Yu, and he was happy at the moment, hehe smiled; "Then I'll laugh at your grandson's kindness." While laughing, he looked up, but saw that the red sleeves were talking to Kuang Yu in the distance.

His eyes rolled, but he frowned again, and said with a sad face: "This ...... Brother Sun, there is only one woman present now, but there are three of us, this ...... How about that? ”

As soon as Sun Xiong heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes, doubting whether this Qi Yu had a long brain, and said with a smile: "I said that I wanted you to wait for you to be happy, but I didn't say that I must let this red-sleeved girl accompany you, what are you thinking?" After saying that, he sighed.

Qi Yu heard Sun Xiong's explanation, and immediately scratched his head in embarrassment, and sneered: "Oh, I see, it's still Brother Sun's thoughtfulness, I thought it was ......"

"Why? Do you really think I'm the one who doesn't obey the law? When Sun Xiong heard Qi Yu's words, he said with tears and laughter.

Qi Yu wanted to say something, but suddenly heard the sound of "boring and boring" gongs in the distance, and he was suspicious, that is, he looked into the lake, but he saw that Baolong Lake at this time seemed to have exploded into a pot, and in a blink of an eye, the drums thundered, and they scattered like spring thunder. When Qi Yu was surprised, he saw the piercing sound of the sky in the distance shaking the heavens and the earth, and after a closer look, it turned out that the fireworks flew into the clouds, dazzling, like a hundred flowers in full bloom, stunning the audience, and attracted the attention of the people on every flower boat.

In just a moment, the entire Baolong Lake seems to have become a fairyland on earth, which makes people forget to return.

Qi Yu saw this, but he was already stunned, and he didn't react for a long time.

That Sun Xiong looked at Qi Yu like this, and immediately chuckled lightly, and explained to him: "This is tonight's main banquet, and it is also the place where I asked Brother Qi to go to you to have a good time." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Qi Yu to answer, he just took the first step and walked towards the side of the boat, Qi Yu saw Sun Xiong like this, thought about it in his heart, and hurriedly followed. As soon as I approached the side of the ship, I saw that Kuang Yu and Red Sleeves were already standing there, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.

Qi Yu was in a trance, but he heard Sun Xiong shouting: "Brother Qi, look." Qi Yu raised his head, looked along the place that Sun Xiong indicated, Qi Yu saw the center of the Baolong Lake, there was an extremely large painting boat parked in it, the painting boat was surrounded by Chinese lanterns hanging, colorful glass, Qi Yu was sure in his heart, counted carefully, but found that the painting boat actually had seven floors, each floor was decorated with different lanterns, different decorations, and even the patterns carved on the hull of the ship were quite exquisite, and each floor was different.

In Baolong Lake, sparkling, the bright moon sprinkled a faint moon shadow in the sky, reflected in the lake, dispelling the loneliness of countless lonely people; Thousands of fireworks, starlight like a river, and a forest of lanterns, just like a gorgeous picture, the people of all sizes in this lake have become the people in the painting.

Qi Yu looked at the scene in front of him, and immediately wondered: "This ...... What's going on? ”

When Sun Xiong heard this, he explained with a smile: "Today is the day of this annual Oiran selection. ”

"Oiran?" That Qi Yu listened to Sun Xiong's words, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded at the moment.

When Sun Xiong saw Qi Yu's appearance, he chuckled lightly and said slowly: "Every time before the Spring Festival, this Baolong Lake will hold an Oiran Competition, which is a tradition that has existed since the establishment of Great Qin. ”

"And this year is certainly no exception."

When Qi Yu heard this, he looked at the huge painting boat in the distance again, accompanied by the lantern green wine, and his eyes were also confused.

"There are hundreds of girls on this Baolong Lake, but there are only four people who can enter the boat, and then everyone chooses one of these four, which is the Oiran of this Baolong Lake this year. Once she can be selected as this oiran, the girl's worth will immediately increase several times, and the gold, silver and jewelry are countless, and the fame will also rise, and even more, maybe the princes and nobles of that family will be favored and bought home to be the concubine of the wealthy family. The red sleeves stepped forward and explained to this Qi Yu.

"Therefore, this day of Oiran selection is the most lively day of the year in Baolong Lake."

Hearing this, Qi Yu turned his head, looked at the pavilion with a smile in his eyes, and chuckled: "What, when I saw the girl with red sleeves, I know a lot about it, isn't it...... Could it be that the girl with red sleeves is also one of the candidates for this Oiran? ”

Hearing this, the red sleeves covered their lips and smiled, and said faintly: "Since the red sleeves entered Beijing at the age of eleven to make a living in Baolong Lake, it has been ten years so far, and almost every year they will experience this Oiran election event, so they also know this very well. ”

"Oh?" When Qi Yu heard this, he laughed, and joked to Red Sleeves: "What? I look at the girl's words, could it be that she used to be this oiran? ”

Before the red-sleeved could answer, Sun Xiong, who heard them talking on the side, laughed and said, "Brother Qi, you guessed it right, the red-sleeved girl also served as the Oiran of this Baolong Lake three years ago. ”

Hearing this, Red Sleeves bowed slightly to Qi Yu and chuckled: "Red Sleeves has indeed been elected to this Oiran, but that is already in the past, and it is not worth mentioning." ”

Spring goes to autumn, summer goes to winter solstice, Baolong Lake, the beauty is better every year, the old beauty has spent half of her life in the years, the young and beautiful girl is constantly appearing, the red sleeves are over twenty years old this year, and she also knows in her heart that this is her glorious era has quietly passed.

Life has been infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue looks similar every year. Only the bright moon in the sky is the curtain call of the witnesses who come out of the stage, and the beginning of the stage.

Qi Yu paused, and said with a smile: "Eh, the red-sleeved girl is modest, even now, girl, you are as beautiful as a flower." ”

Red Sleeves laughed lightly for a while, and then said quietly: "Alas, don't mention this matter, I have prepared some tunes and snacks, and I also ask all the sons to enjoy one or two." ”

When Qi Yu heard the words of the red sleeves, he wanted to say something, but he was stopped by the Sun Xiong, only to see the Sun Xiong looking at him with a smile, and said slowly: "Brother Qi, there is still a period of time before the Oiran election, I can stay here for a while with the girl in the red sleeves, and it is not too late to go when the time comes." ”

As soon as Qi Yu heard this, he was a little puzzled.

It seems that this Sun Xiong and the red sleeves are quite familiar, not like they are the first people to meet.
