Chapter 1626: Oiran (Medium)
There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts.
Despite this, when it came time to take the imperial examination, he also scored a champion, a leader, and a flower. I haven't heard of it, but it should be divided into one positive champion and several deputy champions.
In the same way, no matter how big the scale of this Oiran Contest is, there can only be one Oiran, and this Oiran Contest in Shuikou City has one positive and three pairs, and four Oiran, which is really a bit nondescript.
Dao Yanlang explained: "This Oiran Contest will compete in four items of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and each item will produce an Oiran, so a total of four Oiran will be produced. Then, one of the four Oirans is selected from the real Oiran, so it is said that there are four Oirans in one body, three in pairs. β
Guo Ye shook his head and said, "Even if what you say has some truth, the so-called four Oiran is just a gimmick. How could a woman from a good family participate in any Oiran contest? There is no need to guess, the people who participated in this Oiran Contest must be some Qinglou women, even if they are all Qingqi people, Guo is not very interested. β
"You can't say that." Jin Zhenghao smiled slyly and said, "In the land of Sanhan, except for our Han people, people of other ethnic groups do not prevent women from showing their heads. Even the Han people were deeply influenced by the barbarians, and the male and female people were not as serious as the Central Plains people. We in Shuikou City have promised a heavy reward, and we don't have to worry about these people not being moved. β
"Heavy prize?"
"Yes, the main Oiran is 30,000 taels of gold, and the three secondary Oiran are 10,000 taels each. The remaining top 10 were each 1,000 taels of gold. and the remaining first hundred, five hundred taels of gold each. This price, not to mention that it is just a bonus, is to buy people, and they are more than blessed. β
In Pingkang Lane, Chang'an City, the cost of redeeming a well-known kaki will not exceed one hundred taels of gold. The commercial level of the land of Sanhan is far lower than that of Chang'an City, and the price of the sword is indeed sky-high.
Guo Ye said: "The price offered by the three city lords is indeed not low. However, there is a section that the reason why people are human beings is to pay attention to courtesy, righteousness and honesty. For a little money, he competed with a group of Qinglou women, wouldn't it make his parents' faces dull and his ancestors ashamed? β
He paused slightly, and then continued: "What's more, as far as I know, in the land of Sanhan, the people are simple, and when the people talk about marriage, in order to avoid being said to be a traitor, they don't even accept a dowry. The public sentiment is like this, and I am afraid that the high reward alone will not attract many people. β
Dao Yan Lang smiled slightly and said, "Qin Guogong, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. Participating in our Oiran Contest is not nominally for your beauty pageant. Participating in this Oiran Contest is not only advantageous, but also famous. Not only famous, but also famous. β
"Then Guo is willing to hear about it."
"Has the Duke of Qin ever heard of the Merry Sect?"
"The Merry Sect is widely spread in the land of Sanhan, how can Guo not know it? But what does the Merry Cult have to do with this Oiran contest? β
"That's a big deal. Our Oiran Contest is in the name of the Merry Sect. The development of the Merry Sect to the present has long been controlled by the courts of the Three Kingdoms, who is the source flower and who is not the source flower, it is all determined by the lord of the country. In fact, this is seriously inconsistent with the teachings of the Merry Religion. β
Jin Bochao continued: "Last year, there was a fairy merry meeting, the thunder was loud, the rain was small, and in the end there was a coup d'Γ©tat. In the end, the Merry Sect of the Three Kingdoms itself was also disgraced. β
Mao Shaohong said: "The fundamental reason for this situation is that the three countries are partial to their own source flowers, and they are happy when they win, and they shake their heads and deny their accounts when they lose." Our Oiran Contest is different, our Shuikou City does not belong to any country, the selection is fair and just, whoever can be the Oiran is the real source flower. β
This theory is really a bit nonsense!
Even if the selection of the source flower of the Three Kingdoms Merry Sect does not conform to the teachings of the Merry Sect, then Shuikou City holds an Oiran contest, and the selected Oiran is the Three Kingdoms Total Source Flower, and this procedure is even more inconsistent with the teachings of the Merry Sect.
Besides, even if what Mizukou Castle did was in line with the teachings of the Merry Sect, so what? Without the guarantee of force, how could the high-level of the Three Kingdoms Merry Sect be able to bow down to orders?
All in all, this Oiran Contest is a self-entertaining competition in Mizukou City, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. As for the Oiran being the total source flower of the Three Kingdoms, it is even more of a gimmick and has no practical significance.
The words of the three old city lords, there are countless flaws in every sentence, Guo Ye can come up with 10,000 words to refute, but, as the saying goes, there are flaws all over the body, that is, there are no flaws.
He opened his mouth, still at a loss for where to start. In the end, a thousand words were combined into one sentence, and he said: "Three old city lords, do you believe these words you say?" β
Dao Yanlang didn't blush, and said, "We don't believe it when we talk about it." The Oiran Contest was conceived by the three of us, what is it for, isn't it clear to the old man? But...... Qin Guogong, you think that our words are full of loopholes, because you are well-informed. Do you think there is a problem with deceiving ordinary people in what we said? β
Guo Ye thought about it carefully, there was really no problem! There are actually two core theories of the three old city lords, the first one, the source flower selected by the court of the Three Kingdoms, does not conform to the teachings of the Merry Sect. This is a fact and irrefutable. Second, foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures, and Shuikou City does not belong to the jurisdiction of the three countries, which naturally represents fairness and justice.
Although I think about it carefully, I know that this second theory is really a bit unreliable. However, throughout the ages, even in modern society, most people still believe in this set consciously or unconsciously. There is no reason, the people of Samhan are an exception.
As for the Oiran elected by Shuikou Castle, whether it can be recognized by the Three Kingdoms Merry Sect and whether it can exercise the power of the Three Kingdoms General Source Flower, ordinary people really can't think about it that long-term.
Of course, there is also a more important point is the high bounty offered by the three old city lords.
Not only is there 30,000 taels of gold if you become an Oiran, but as long as you are in the top 100, you will have 500 taels of gold to take. This award is really attractive, a woman with a little grace will have a little lack of self-knowledge, can't win the first place, can't you rank a hundred?
As long as you come to Shuikou City to show your face, you can have a lifetime of inexhaustible money, and you have the opportunity to become the total source flower of the Three Kingdoms, such a thing of fame and fortune, why not try it?
In later generations, various draft contests can make countless people crazy, and the gold content of this Oiran contest is much higher than that of those so-called 'XX Female Voices'. All kinds of people flock to it, and it's a sure thing.
Guo Ye nodded and said, "These words are indeed enough to deceive ordinary people." But in that case, how do you make sure that the Oiran is willing to ......?"
What he implied, of course, the three old city lords could understand that since the purpose of the so-called Oiran Contest was to choose a total source of the Three Kingdoms recognized by the people. Then the Oiran Contest has been improved, but at the same time, the status of the winner of the Oiran has soared, and it is not for anyone to take care of it. When the time comes, why will people be willing to bow down to the Duke of Qin of the Tang Dynasty?
Dao Yan Lang smiled lewdly and said, "Although Qin Guogong can rest assured, the chief judge of this Oiran Competition, we will determine you - Guo Ye Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty." As long as the woman who is a little scheming, of course she knows how to do it. As for the woman who doesn't have this scheming, how can you escape your palm if you use a little trick? β
Is this the unspoken rule of legend?
Thinking of many beauties at their own discretion, the beauties who attracted the attention of thousands of people were included in the room by themselves...... Guo Ye's face couldn't help but show a swaying smile.
Dao Yan Lang observed his words and said, "Qin Guogong, this is the generous gift that we Shuikou City prepared for you, I don't know if you are satisfied?" β
"Satisfied?" Guo Ye suddenly remembered something and said, "Not satisfied!" I couldn't be more satisfied! I tell you, this Oiran contest must be cancelled! β
