"Zhenwuhou is in the No. 1 room of the first word, and after you take the stage, you just need to focus on the No. 1 room of the first word, and the others can leave it alone."

Just when Hongluan was suspicious of Zijuan's words, a middle-aged woman who was richly dressed and still charming, walked in quickly, and told her in a deep voice, "As long as you win the favor of the Marquis of Zhenwu, then you are this year's Oiran!" ”

The middle-aged woman is the old bustard of Hangzhou Yueyue Pavilion - Sister Hong, Sister Hong was also the head of Yueyue Pavilion back then, and when she grew older, she took charge of Yueyue Pavilion with the support of the owner of Yueyue Pavilion, Hongluan can be said to be her most proud masterpiece.

At this Oiran Conference, Sister Hong is bound to win, she has already inquired clearly, the people of the Salt Merchants Association will elect the Qing Qi people valued by Li Yuntian as the Oiran at this Oiran Conference, plus no one dares to compete with Li Yuntian, so as long as which Qing Qi people are recognized by Li Yuntian, then it will be the Oiran of this year.

"Zhenwuhou is not something that can be seen by any vulgar fan!" As soon as Sister Hong's words fell, a sneering voice came from the door, and a graceful ******** walked in, glanced at Sister Hong coldly and walked towards Zijuan.

This ******** is the old bustard of Hangzhou Tianxiang Pavilion - Aunt Zi, who was also a famous prostitute in Jiangnan back then, and when she was young, she fought with Sister Hong for the title of the first prostitute in Hangzhou, and she had a lot of grievances, so that the two are still often fighting openly and secretly.

"Daughter, some people are still self-aware and know what kind of goods they are!" Sister Hong naturally knew that Aunt Zi was mocking her, so she sneered and sneered at each other.

"Mother, don't have a verbal dispute with others when you are about to take the stage, so as not to affect your mood." Aunt Zi frowned when she heard this, and was about to open her mouth to refute, but Zijuan reached out and grabbed the corner of her clothes, and shook her head slightly at her.

Because many of the ** women in the Qinglou were sold into the Qinglou when they were young, they were brought up by the bustard, so the ** women usually call the bustard "mother", especially the Qing people have been strictly trained and cared for by the bustard since childhood, and they often have good feelings for each other.

Aunt Zi suddenly held back the words on her lips when she heard this, glared at Sister Hong coldly, and then beckoned the maids on the side to dress up Zijuan, now is the critical moment for the election of the Oiran, so there must be no accidents.

Seeing this, the corners of Sister Hong's mouth suddenly showed a hint of smugness, she was very willing to see Aunt Zi deflated, if it was close to the start of the Oiran Conference, she would definitely have to mock Aunt Zi well.

"Mother, what's our number?" Hongluan knew the grievances between Sister Hong and Aunt Zi, and I was afraid that the grievances between the two would continue to be between her and Zijuan, so she asked with a slight smile.

According to the rules of the Oiran Conference, the order of appearance of the Qingqi people participating in the election is determined by the lottery sent by each Qinglou to show its fairness.

"We're on the twenty-seventh, and we're the last one." Sister Hong heard that the corners of her mouth showed a smug smile, and she took out a red bamboo skewer from her sleeve, with a capital "Erqi" written on it, and she was the last one of all the Qing people to take the stage.

Although this lottery seems to be fair, in fact, there is a mystery hidden in it, as long as you take care of the person in charge of the lottery, then you can draw the best lot, obviously the more you sign in the future, the better, the more you can win the attention of everyone.

"It's hard work mother." Hongluan knew that Sister Hong must have spent a lot of money to draw such a good signing, so she smiled at her.

"It's not hard at all." Sister Hong couldn't help but turn up the corners of her eyes when she heard this, leaned over and said to Hongluan, "Mother actually didn't spend a penny of silver this time, President Wei is optimistic that you will win this year's Oiran, so he specially asked people to sign the last place for us." ”

"President Wei?" Hongluan's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise, she naturally knew that the President Wei in Sister Hong's mouth was referring to Wei Deguang, the vice president of the Salt Merchants Association, but she had only seen Wei Deguang once after she came to Yangzhou, why did Wei Deguang give her such a big favor.

"Don't think about it, according to my mother, President Wei wants to wait for you to say a few good words in front of Zhenwuhou after you win the championship, since Zhenwuhou came to Yangzhou to thoroughly investigate the Lianghuai Salt Road, those people in the Salt Merchants Association have been worried and panicked." Seeing Hongluan's suspicious face, Sister Hong explained to her in a low voice.

"Mother, can my daughter meet Zhenwu Hou?" Hongluan came back to her senses and looked at Sister Hong unintentionally, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"You don't know yet, in order to curry favor with the Marquis of Zhenwu, the people of the Salt Merchants Association are ready to send this Oiran to the Marquis of Zhenwu." A look of excitement suddenly appeared on Sister Hong's face, and she said to Hongluan with joy, "As long as you gain the favor of the Marquis of Zhenwu, then you can enter the Hou Mansion and become the concubine of the Hou Ye like the Shen family, and then your mother will enjoy your blessings." ”

The Shen family in Sister Hong's mouth naturally refers to Lian Xiang, Lian Xiang's surname is Shen, Lian Xiang is just her stage name in the Qinglou, she used to be a Qingqi person in the Qinglou in the capital, and later married Li Yuntian, and now she has become the seventh lady of the Zhenwu Hou Mansion.

Because of his contribution to quelling the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuande gave a decree to Lianxiang, and like Chen Ningning and Lei Ting and others, he was able to "inherit the glory of the main room and enjoy the title of the wife", and became the fourth woman of the imperial court, and was regarded as a model and example for learning by the women of the Qinglou in the world.

Hongluan's eyes suddenly dimmed when she heard this, she seemed to have something on her mind, but she bit her lip and didn't say anything, and dressed up there quietly.

Sister Hong was in high spirits at this time, and she didn't notice the change in Hongluan's mood at all, and instructed the maid to put on good makeup for Hongluan, and strive for Hongluan to show herself in the best condition.

"It seems that President Wei thinks that his daughter can't compare to Hongluan?" At the same time, Zijuan glanced at the red bamboo skewer with "Erlu" written on it in Aunt Zi's hand, and said with some dissatisfaction that her appearance order was just in front of Hongluan.

Although the order of the draw was arranged by Wei Deguang, Zijuan knew very well that this was Chen Guangzong's meaning, and its purpose was to win over Hongluan for her use, but she still felt uncomfortable in her heart and didn't want to succumb to Hongluan.

"Daughter, President Wei said that Hongluan has a friendship with Zhenwuhou, so Hongluan is behind you for Zhenwuhou's face." Aunt Zi knew that Zijuan was uncomfortable in her heart, so she smiled and comforted, "But this Oiran still depends on real kung fu, and Zhenwu Hou has always done things fairly, as long as you can beat Hongluan in the performance, then this Oiran is yours." ”

"The mother is relieved, and the daughter knows it." Zijuan smiled at Aunt Zi when she heard this, and nodded obediently, in fact, she also has a lot of friendship with Li Yuntian, but this matter is top secret, Chen Guangzong told even Aunt Zi not to say it, so as not to leak it out and cause Li Yuntian's disgust.

Aunt Zi immediately relieved when she saw this, she knew that Zijuan was arrogant and afraid that Zijuan would be affected by this incident, but now it seems that Zijuan was not disturbed by this incident, no matter what, she would not have thought that Zijuan had actually seen Li Yuntian.

At the beginning of the hour, the festive music sounded in the hall on the first floor of the Baihua Building, which made the noisy scene gradually quiet, and the Jiangnan Oiran Conference officially kicked off.

In room No. 1, Li Yuntian sat on the seat facing the window, the table in front of him was full of pastries and fruits, and he looked at the high platform on the first floor with great interest.

With the introduction of the master of ceremonies who presided over the Oiran Conference, the Qing people who ran for the Oiran appeared one by one to perform, one by one, delicate and charming, delicate and lovely, or singing or dancing or piano or painting, showing their talents in front of everyone, and their exquisite expression caused bursts of applause on the scene.

Li Yuntian looked at the Qingqi people on the high platform while chatting and laughing with Chen Ningning and others, although those Qingqi people are beautiful and delicious, but they are still much inferior to Chen Ningning and others, and he is not a womanizer, how can he be tempted by those Qingqi people?

The two maids who were standing in the private room and serving stood nervously to the side, secretly remembering Li Yuntian's reaction when each Qingqi person took the stage, so that Chen Guangzong could judge which Qingqi person Li Yuntian was most interested in after the Qingqi people finished performing.

Li Yuntian naturally knew the intentions of the two maids, but this was exactly what he wanted to see, so he could take the opportunity to pass on false news to Chen Guangzong, so he let the two stay in the private room, otherwise they would have been sent out long ago.

With the passage of time, more and more Qingqi people performed on stage, and in the applause and applause of the guests, the night was dark and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

"The next one on stage is the purple juan girl from Hangzhou Tianxiang Pavilion." Li Yuntian was smiling and talking to Zheng Wanrou about the performance of a Qingqi person who had just ended, when the voice of the emcee came from the audience.

"You've seen the Purple Cuckoo and the Red Luan, who of the two can be better tonight and win the throne of this Oiran?" Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and asked Chen Ningning on the side.

"The purple juan girl is better than the red luan girl in the piano skills, and the red luan girl's dancing posture is stronger than the purple juan girl, both of them are charming beauties, it is really hard to say who will kill the deer tonight." Chen Ningning smiled and made an evaluation for the two.

"Xianggong, which of the two of them do you think can win the championship?" Lei Ting knew that Li Yuntian was talking about it to the two maids, so she asked with a smile.

"One has outstanding piano skills, the other dances gracefully, and it is really difficult to choose Xianggong." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment, and said to Lei Ting with a smile, "But no matter which of the two can be elected as the Oiran, they deserve it." ”

"Xianggong, I hope that Miss Hongluan can win the championship, after all, she gave you a peace charm in Baihua Temple." Hearing this, Zheng Wanrou looked at Li Yuntian with a smile.

"The Purple Cuckoo girl has an amazing talent for music, and in time she will surely be able to make achievements in music and become a famous master, and if she wins the Oiran, it will definitely become a beautiful story in the future." As soon as Zheng Wanrou's words fell, Chen Ningning smiled and said seemingly casually.

The two maids couldn't help but glance at each other secretly when they heard this, and then quickly looked away, the two of them could be selected to serve Li Yuntian and the others were naturally scheming and agile people, and it was obvious that Chen Ningning was secretly talking to Zijuan, wouldn't this be competing with Zheng Wanrou?
