Both of them were very happy, prepared early, and after dinner, they came to the square in front of the Confucius Temple, but they saw that there was already a tide of people in front of the high platform, rubbing shoulders and rubbing shoulders, and it was very lively. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe two of them walked through the crowd to the guest area and sat down according to the seats indicated in the congratulatory note.

This is on the right side of the front of the stage, the middle seat is the judge's seat, and on both sides is the seat where the person holding the congratulatory note sits. They sat down in their chairs and looked at their surroundings while eating melon seeds.

Sun Yueling saw Yun Niang of Tianxiang Courtyard at a glance, only to see her sitting at the table in the left corner, snorting melon seeds, and a young woman sitting next to her, far away, I couldn't see her appearance clearly, I only felt that this goddess was leisurely, like a noblewoman.

Just when Sun Yueling looked at the young woman, she suddenly turned her head and looked at him, her eyes were sharp, like a willow leaf flying knife, Sun Yueling only felt a heat on her face, and quickly turned her head, thinking that this young woman's eyes were really powerful, and she looked very beautiful.

Li Qifan pointed to the person seated in the judges' seat and said slowly, this is Master Dong Qichang of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, that is Yun Qian Qianyi of Youchun Fang, this is Mr. Xu of the Shoushan Academy in the capital, and that is Zhong Buli, the head of the Jinling Society...... There are so many people, Sun Yueling can't remember it for a while, but the first Dong Qichang has a little impression, it seems that he is a great painter, as if he also provoked a civil uprising because of the occupation of the people's daughters, a typical representative of Jiangnan merchants.

There was still a lot of noise under him, and Sun Yueling said to Li Qifan: "Brother Li knows a lot of people. ”

Li Qifan sighed: "These are all celebrities, but it's a pity that I know them, they don't know me." ”

Sun Yueling said: "Brother Li is talented, and sooner or later he will be famous in all directions, but I lack civil and military skills, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come out in my life." ”

"Where, Brother Sun is too modest." Li Qifan said politely and said, "The list will be released tomorrow, I don't know if I can win this time, hey, this exam is really annoying, or listen to the music freely." ”

Sun Yueling echoed: "That's right, the most hated thing is the exam, I really have no choice but to do it, these eight test questions, look at the head." ”

The two of them laughed and began to look around again. Not long after, the host on stage announced the start of the third round, but it was not the three beauties who came to the stage to perform, but a troupe, and they actually set up all kinds of musical instruments, seemingly preparing to act.

Sun Yueling frowned and said, "What does this mean?" ”

Li Qifan said: "In this last round, because there are only three beautiful prostitutes, I want to have a prelude and perform a play first." ”

After a while, the stage began to act, two women on the stage Yingying Yanyan sang up, the lyrics and songs are clear and graceful, lingering and long, Sun Yueling listened, felt that the singing seemed to be the so-called Kunqu opera in later generations, and said: "What kind of repertoire is this Kunqu opera singing?" ”

Li Qifan's eyes lit up, and he said: "Brother Sun has extraordinary knowledge, this Kunqu opera was improved into a 'water mill tune' by Wei Liangfu during the Jiajing period, and it was popular in the south of the Yangtze River, but I didn't expect Brother Sun to know it as soon as he heard it." This is a "Garden" in the "Peony Pavilion", which is about Du Liniang and the maid visiting their own back garden together, and there is a sense of sadness and cherishing the scenery after returning, and after going to bed at night, I dreamed that a son with a folding willow came to meet, and the two of them had a cloud and rain in the garden. ”

Sun Yueling knew very little about the so-called opera, and said: "I see. "I think that the famous prostitutes who will perform on stage don't know if they will have a sense of sadness and pity for the scenery when they are alone, he also folds willows, and now there are no willows, and the osmanthus flowers go to meet, and there is also a cloud and rain, isn't it cool?

When I was thinking about it, I saw Zhong Yansong, the young son of the Jinling Club who I saw last time, led a group of people to the front again, this time I picked a lot of exquisite snacks with a basket, and each table was full of rose cakes, spiced eggs, lily cakes, sugar almonds, etc., all of which were exquisite snacks in the Jiangnan area, and each guest seat was given a fan made of high-quality elephant bones, and what was even more outrageous was that a beauty was painted on the fan silk silk, how to look like Uncle Yang Wan.

Sun Yueling said with a smile: "I'm really willing to spend my money, it seems that Half Moon Tower is determined to win, and he actually painted a beauty on a fan, isn't this obviously a hint?" ”

Li Qifan took the fan, fanned it a few times, and said: "The price is expensive, just rush this fan, it is estimated that many people will choose Uncle Yang Wan." ”

Sun Yueling said: "Look at it like this, that rouge horse Muwan, I'm afraid there is no chance to compete for the first place." ”

After some time, the troupe finally finished the performance and withdrew from the stage. Li Qifan sighed: "This singing woman's voice is good, but it's a pity that the whole performance is a little dull and lacks agility. ”

At this time, the night is getting thicker, the lights around the square and in front of the stage are lit, in a dazzling light, the Oiran competition meeting finally officially kicked off, the host howled a few words with great excitement, fully aroused the enthusiasm of the audience, and solemnly announced the first beautiful prostitute on the stage - that is Wang Xiuwei of Mei Yan Pavilion.

The lively and excited crowd suddenly fell silent, all looking forward to the appearance of the first beauty.

Suddenly, a woman came to the stage, Sun Yueling took a look, and sure enough, as Li Qifan said, the temperament is unique, beautiful and refined, with dignified eyebrows and eyes, and green eyes, she looks like a beautiful girl, which looks like a dusty woman.

Wang Xiu was slightly saluted, and he actually stood in the wind, raised his jade face lightly, his eyebrows were deep, he looked into the distance, and said quietly: "After a long time, Tan Lang is here?" Gengshen autumn night, lying on the lonely mountain, reading the autumn dream poems of the Huguan girl, fascinated, can't fake sleep. Manfu is a must-have and a quiet one. For those who have been wooded and stone, they can't be ruthless, and what should be done to those who read it later? ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone was surprised, and the poems she recited were filled with resentment, and she hated not to meet people, obviously missing her lover, but she didn't expect her to openly confide her personal feelings at this conference, and the audience was full of discussions.

Confiding in her heart like this will always reach the ears of her lover, this Wang Xiuwei has such courage - you must know that it is taboo for a woman to confide in public in the dust, and those who are skillful are all left and right, so that others think that the most favored person is herself, and she is not afraid of being jealous and discredited by others when she behaves like this.

"If you have a personality, I will serve" Sun Yueling sighed, but he didn't know who this Tan Lang was, and he made such a beautiful prostitute so worried and unforgettable.
