Chapter 483: The Last Moment
δΈ~Ρ~~lΔ?????
Wanhuatang is one of the three green buildings in Yangzhou and Zuiyue Pavilion, located on the bank of the small Qinhuai River.
Due to the large number of distinguished guests who came to Wanhuatang tonight, Yangzhou Mansion and Yangzhou Wei both sent messengers and soldiers to maintain order and protect the safety of those distinguished guests.
Li Hongyu is no stranger to Wanhuatang, last year he rescued the hunted Yang Li'er in Wanhuatang, and hid in a small courtyard in the backyard for a few days.
For Yang Li'er, Wanhuatang is of great significance, and it is after experiencing the Wanhuatang incident that she now can't help but fall in love with Li Hongyu.
Besides, Li Hongyu even looked at her body, although Li Hongyu was a doctor at the time, but in this era when men and women are not kissed, she can only follow Li Hongyu, otherwise what is the reputation?
"Miss Xia, why don't you see Aunt Hong?" The person in charge of receiving Li Hongyu and others was a middle-aged woman from Wanhuatang, who led everyone to talk and laugh with Hongxia while walking, and the two naturally knew each other as peers.
Now the outside world still doesn't know what happened to Zining, so no one knows that Liu Hongmei is now busy outside for Zining's affairs.
"Aunt Hong has something to do, I'll come in a while." Hongxia replied with a smile quietly when she heard this, with a smug look in her eyes.
"Miss Xia, wait a minute, and let Li Gongzi also write a song for the girl from Wanhuatang."
The middle-aged woman who led the way did not doubt Hongxia's words, where would she have thought that Zining would do such a big thing, turned her head and glanced at Li Hongyu, who was whispering something to Yang Li'er, and said with a smile, "Runbi is good, let Li Gongzi make the price." β
After experiencing a series of previous events, Li Hongyu has now become an out-and-out talent with his lyrics and calligraphy and painting, not only the songs he writes are popular among people, but also the calligraphy and painting have also been sought after, and his limelight is close to Tang Bohu of the year.
For Qinglou, I must prefer the lyrics made by Li Hongyu, if I can get the new song specially written by Li Hongyu, it will also improve the reputation of Qinglou, and at the same time, it will also attract more guests to come to enjoy.
However, although Li Hongyu's calligraphy and paintings can be sold, the lyrics are only given away and not sold, and given to people who are destined.
"You also know Li Gongzi's rules, he is a reckless person, he treats money like dung, and no matter how much money he gives, he won't write songs." Hongxia couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, "However, Li Gongzi is a person who pities fragrant and cherishes jade, you can ask your girl to ask him for a tune." β
"If my girl can really ask for music, then I will definitely be a treat." The middle-aged woman who led the way couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and the "girl" in Hongxia's mouth referred to the Qingqi people who participated in the Oiran Conference in Wanhuatang.
"Come and see, Li Gongzi is here!"
"He's Li Gongzi, he looks so elegant!"
"It turns out that Li Gongzi is a personable young man, and he doesn't seem to be very old."
"It would be great if Li Gongzi could write a song for me."
"You say, what kind of new song did Li Gongzi write for Zining of Drunken Moon Pavilion this time?"
β¦β¦
Knowing that the famous "Huguang Li Sheng" appeared, the girls in Wanhuatang flocked to the roadside to see the true face of "Huguang Li Sheng", and they all pointed to Li Hongyu and talked excitedly.
Li Hongyu naturally heard what the women were talking about him, so he smiled and nodded to the girls, which immediately attracted the screams of the girls, which made the girls even more excited and excited, which showed their popularity.
"This is your room, it's still early, so let's have a good rest here." Amid the girls' discussions and screams, Li Hongyu and his party were led into a three-story attic by the middle-aged woman who led the way, pointed to an empty room and said with a smile, "If you need anything, tell your subordinates." β
After saying that, the middle-aged woman who led the way left in a hurry, she was very busy due to the large number of people who came today.
This three-story attic is specially prepared for the Kiyoku people who participate in the Oiran Meeting, and each Kiyoku has a room, which can accommodate about a dozen people, enough for the Kiyoku people to freshen up and dress up here.
The rooms in the Drunken Moon Pavilion are on the easternmost side of the third floor, and the environment is quiet compared to the downstairs, which is more suitable for resting.
Although the room is not small, due to the fact that there are two Qingqi people in the Drunken Moon Pavilion at once, and everyone has a servant, this makes the room a little tight.
Because the room was allocated in advance, there was no excess at all, so everyone had to settle for a while, and the two Qingqi people each occupied half of the area, and the atmosphere on the scene was a little dull and embarrassing.
"Li Gongzi, who do you think will win the Oiran tonight?" Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Hongxia took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field and asked Li Hongyu with a smile.
Although Li Hongyu is now helping Liu Hongmei, Hongxia admires Li Hongyu's talent very much, and she has no grudges with Li Hongyu, and she will rely on Li Hongyu to build momentum for Drunken Moon Pavilion in the future, so she naturally treats Li Hongyu politely.
"There is a dragon and a crouching tiger in the Oiran Conference, and I don't know who can win." Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and asked Hongxia quietly, "What does Sister Xia think?" β
"In my opinion, the Oiran of this Oiran Conference is nothing more than from four places, Hangzhou Chunfeng Xuan, Nanjing Mingyue Tower, Suzhou Cuizhu Hall and our Zuiyue Pavilion."
Liu Hongmei smiled and said methodically, "Judging from the current situation, these four Qingqi people are the most outstanding and have the strength to win the championship, and the Qingqi people of the four families have their own advantages and disadvantages, and there is not much difference in strength between them, it depends on who can perform better tonight!" β
"This is a battlefield where you can't see killing, and to outsiders, it seems that the Oiran Conference is a singing and dancing event, and the selection of the best people is actually no less than a life-and-death battle for those Qingqi people who participate in the competition."
Li Hongyu couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and said with emotion, "The world only sees the beautiful side of those Qingqi people, but they can't understand their bitterness. β
"Li Gongzi is kind-hearted and talented, and he will definitely become a generation of grandmasters in the future." Hongxia saw that Li Hongyu sympathized with those Qingqi people and could understand the hardships endured by the Qingqi people, and her heart suddenly doubled her favor for Li Hongyu, so she opened her mouth to praise.
For the women of Qinglou, the men all use them as playthings, and several people have cared about their suffering, so Li Hongyu's words evoked some of Hongxia's reluctance to recall the past, and at the same time, she also admired Li Hongyu's personality even more.
"Sister Xia has won the award, and she just wants to be at ease, and she doesn't want to be a grandmaster." Li Hongyu couldn't help laughing, waved his hand to Hongxia and said, what he said was the truth, he preferred a happy life rather than becoming a grandmaster.
"It's a lottery, please get ready." Without waiting for Hongxia to open her mouth to compliment Li Hongyu, a voice came from the corridor outside the door, and the order of appearance of the Qingqi people at night would be placed according to the results of the draw.
"Childe, I'll draw lots." Hearing this, the middle-aged maid of Liu Hongmei, who was sitting on the side, got up and bowed to Li Hongyu and walked out of the door, without looking at Hongxia during the period, which shows the depth of the grievances between Liu Hongmei and Hongxia.
Hongxia sneered and glanced at the back of the middle-aged maid leaving, and when she took charge of the power of the Drunken Moon Pavilion, she would kick this eye-catching guy away.
Li Hongyu noticed the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, it seems that the relationship between Liu Hongmei and Hongxia has reached the point where only one can stay in the Drunken Moon Pavilion, and the result will be revealed after the Oiran Conference.
It didn't take long for the middle-aged maid to come back, her face was a little gloomy, she drew the twentieth, this is a bad signing, if the signing is too high, the listeners have not yet concentrated, and if the signing is too backward, the listeners are a little aesthetically fatigued, so the middle signing is the best, which can attract the attention of the audience the most.
"What a pair of smelly hands!" Hongxia didn't expect the middle-aged maid's luck to be so bad, so she couldn't help but sneer and say.
The middle-aged maid's face suddenly became more ugly when she heard this, and she wanted to refute it, but because the signing was too poor, she didn't know what to say for a while.
"Hongxia, have you chosen your people?" At this time, a middle-aged man walked in with a roster in his hand and said to Hongxia.
This person is the person in charge of registering to participate in the Oiran Tournament at night, and he will be specially assigned to the Qinglou who has obtained direct participation in the Oiran Tournament at the Drunken Moon Pavilion to determine the candidates he will send, so as to inform everyone on the scene at that time.
"It's decided, our Drunken Moon Pavilion will send Zishuang to participate in the meeting." Hongxia glanced at the middle-aged maid when she heard this, and then said in a coquettish voice.
"Purple Frost? Isn't it Zining? The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look curiously at Zi Ning who was sitting in the room, in his impression, the people from the Drunken Moon Pavilion faction should be Zi Ning, you must know that Liu Hongmei specially invited Li Hongyu to train Zi Ning.
Besides, Liu Hongmei and Hongxia are not in harmony with each other in the Yangzhou Qinglou world, Zishuang is Hongxia's person, how could Liu Hongmei let Zishuang go to the Oiran Conference?
Zi Ning's body couldn't help but tremble, her eyes showed a gloomy look, and Zi Shuang was smiling, she knew that Zi Ning was suffering from a sudden illness and could not participate in the Oiran Conference, so she was the only one who could represent the Drunken Moon Pavilion.
"Whether it is Zining or Zishuang has not yet been decided, Hongxia, you are too anxious!" The middle-aged maid sneered at this time, stared at Hongxia and said.
At this time, there is still some time before the final candidate is determined, and the middle-aged maid has to wait for Liu Hongmei's news, and she will definitely not let go until the last moment.
"It's futile to wait, it's better to set a candidate as soon as possible to calm people's hearts." Hongxia frowned slightly when she heard this, and then said disdainfully, "Do you have any other candidates?" β
"Whether there is a person will know when the time comes, don't worry about it." Not to be outdone, the middle-aged maid replied that she had to hold on until the last moment, and now once the candidate is confirmed, it will be difficult to change it at that time.
"Since you haven't discussed it yet, I'll come back in the evening." The middle-aged man realized that there was infighting in the Drunken Moon Pavilion, so he closed the roster in his hand and left, and the next time he came back, the Drunken Moon Pavilion had to be handed over to him as a candidate.
"Waste of time."
After the middle-aged man left, Hongxia couldn't help but snort coldly at the middle-aged maid, Liu Hongmei handed over the seal of the Drunken Moon Pavilion to the middle-aged maid before leaving, and it was only valid if the seal name was printed on the roster, so there was nothing she could do now.
The middle-aged maid ignored Hongxia, but waited there with an anxious expression, secretly praying in her heart that Liu Hongmei could come back in time, otherwise she would have to give this precious opportunity to Zishuang.
Hongxia sneered and looked at the middle-aged maid, thinking that the middle-aged maid was dying, now the officials in Yangzhou City are busy entertaining, where is the mood to pay attention to this kind of idle matter, besides, this is a matter of the Yandao Yamen, and it is even more difficult to find the officials of the Yandao Yamen.
Hongxia already knows a lot about the affairs of officialdom, and knows that no one wants to cause any trouble on such an important day, and it has become a tacit unspoken rule not to handle the case on a major day, so no one in the officials of the Yandao Yamen will release the "salt lord" who was heavily attacked by the imperial court without knowing the truth.
Besides, Ma Dahai received so much money from Hongxia that it was not for decoration, and he would definitely find a way to delay it tonight before releasing him, unless it was a high-ranking official of the Yandao Yamen who strongly intervened in this matter, but this possibility was very small.
After all, Zixia's father and brother will not be arrested and put in prison for no reason, even if they don't commit a crime, they must have offended someone, no one would be stupid enough to order Ma Dahai to release people today, and offend people for a few ordinary people for no reason, which is a very unwise move.
Li Hongyu watched the scene in front of him coldly, shook his head secretly in his heart, and his eyes fell on the ambitious Zishuang and the preoccupied Zining, Hongxia and Liu Hongmei fought, but it was Zishuang and Zining who were injured, and he couldn't help but start to sympathize with the two flower-like girls who became pawns in the hands of others to fight for power and profit.
