In a wing room of Baihualou, Wei Deguang listened to the two maids who had been in room No. 1 in Jiazi tell what happened in the room, and he wanted to know which Qing people Li Yuntian was interested in.

However, from the narration of the two maids, Wei Deguang found that Li Yuntian's attitude towards Hongluan and Zijuan was quite special, so it was really difficult to tell who Li Yuntian liked more in his heart, which made things a little difficult, in case the selected Oiran was not the candidate in Li Yuntian's heart, it would be self-defeating.

"Master, except for Zhenwuhou, the No. 1 house has already voted for golden flowers, and Miss Hongluan and Miss Zijuan each got two, of which Mrs. Chen voted for Miss Zijuan, and Mrs. Zheng voted for Miss Hongluan." Just as the two maids finished reporting what they had seen and heard in Room No. 1, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper walked in quickly and said in a deep voice.

Wei Deguang's brows suddenly frowned slightly when he heard this, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zheng naturally referred to Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou, he originally wanted to get some hints from Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou, but now it seems that things have become much worse than he expected.

Then, Wei Deguang waved his hand to the butler and the two maids, and the three of them withdrew.

After the three of them left, Chen Guangzong walked out from behind the screen with his hands behind his back, followed by Yang Muen, the president of the Salt Merchants Association, and the two had just heard the report of the two maids.

"Eldest prince, what should I do now, it's hard to guess whether Zhenwuhou wants Hongluan or Zijuan to be elected as the Oiran in his heart." Wei Deguang hurriedly walked over, frowned and said, he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen beforehand.

"It's hard to say, since Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zheng have different opinions, then let's give the final decision to Marquis Zhenwu and let him make the final decision." Chen Guangzong smiled slightly when he heard this, and said disapprerovitically.

In his opinion, it is a good thing that Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou secretly competed because Hongluan and Zijuan were elected as Oiran, which shows that Li Yuntian is indeed interested in Hongluan and Zijuan in his heart, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou's move is not only to compete for favor in front of Li Yuntian, but also to take the opportunity to win over Hongluan and Zijuan.

Besides, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou are the kind of people who are easy to deal with when they hold the thriving Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and there is no need for the Salt Merchants Association to provoke the two of them in this matter, so it is best for Li Yuntian to make the final choice.

"Eldest Prince, you mean to make the number of flowers of Hongluan and Zijuan the same, and then the golden flower in the hand of Zhenwu Hou will determine the person who will come out of the Oiran!" Yang Muen's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he asked with a happy face, This is an excellent way to solve the current problem, and Li Yuntian will definitely vote for the golden flower to his favorite one at that time.

"In this way, not only Zhenwuhou is satisfied, but we also save offending the two ladies, and now the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce has a strong momentum, and I will surpass our Salt Merchants Association in two years." Chen Guangzong nodded with a smile, and then said with emotion.

Just six years ago, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce was only a local chamber of commerce on the border of Jiangxi, but in just six years, its limelight has been close to the salt merchants' association, which really shocked Chen Guangzong.

Compared with the General Association of Salt Merchants, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce not only involves many business projects, but also has members from all over the country, and the members in many places are supported by Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou, and the rapid expansion of its scale is incredible.

Especially with the progress of Jiaozhi's overseas trade, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce benefited greatly from it, because the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce accounted for the largest proportion of Jiaozhi's commercial management rights and mining rights, and the outside world could not have any objections to it, after all, the auction in Yangzhou was open at that time, and the situation in Jiaozhi was very unfavorable to the Ming army, who would have thought that Li Yuntian would turn the tide and exterminate the huge Jiaozhi rebels?

Moreover, there was one thing that everyone knew at the time of the auction, that is, once Li Yuntian failed to quell the Jiaozhi rebellion, then the money invested by those merchants who had won the commercial franchise and mining rights of Jiaozhi would be wasted.

After all, whose money is not blown by the wind, who will put a huge amount of money into a business that will be empty in nine times out of ten?

Nowadays, those businessmen who have invested in the Jiaozhi business are full of spirit, full of ambition, and have put their energy and funds into the Jiaozhi business, as long as Li Yuntian is still in charge of Jiaozhi, then they will have no scruples and are full of confidence in Li Yuntian.

As far as Chen Guangzong knew, when Emperor Xuande appointed Li Yuntian to hang the seal of the general of Dingnan, the governor of Guangxi and the military and political affairs of Jiaozhi, many merchants in Jiangnan had secretly contacted those businessmen who had business in Jiaozhi, and wanted to take out silver to invest in their business.

Therefore, even Chen Guangzong was reluctant to provoke Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou, and he might cause some trouble when the time came.

As Chen Guangzong made up his mind, Wei Deguang hurriedly left to arrange this matter, what he had to do was very simple, that is, to instruct the merchants of the Salt Merchants Association to cast golden flowers for Hongluan and Zijuan, not only to make the number of golden flowers of the two higher than the other Qingqi people, but also to let the two of them get the same number of golden flowers, so that the final decision was left to Li Yuntian, who had a golden flower in his hand.

It can be said that in order to curry favor with Li Yuntian, Chen Guangzong and others, they took great pains and tried every means to do what they liked.

After the top three of the last Oiran Conference performed on the high platform, the golden flowers obtained by the Qingqi people who participated in the current Oiran Conference have been counted, and according to the rules, only the top three Qingqi people who have won the number of flowers will be announced, and then the Ji Kui, Yakui and Oiran will be announced in order from the number of votes from less to more.

It is worth mentioning that Sister Hong and Aunt Zi participated in the Jiangnan Oiran Conference together when they were young, Sister Hong won Yakui, Aunt Zi won Ji Kui, and the Oiran was obtained by the Qing people of a Qinglou in Suzhou.

"Xianggong, who do you say will win the first place this time, the Red Luan girl or the Purple Juan girl?" Before the top three Qingqi people who won the number of golden flowers took the stage, Chen Ningning asked Li Yuntian with a smile, although the top three personnel have not yet appeared, Hongluan and Zijuan will undoubtedly occupy two seats.

"The two girls have their own merits, and the husband can't guess the result." Li Yuntian smiled when he heard this, and glanced at the golden flower on the table in front of him, intentionally or unintentionally, if he guessed correctly, Chen Guangzong would definitely leave the right to decide the Oiran to him in order to please himself.

"It's coming!" At this time, Zhao Xinyue pointed to the hall on the first floor, and said excitedly, only to see three Qing people being led into the hall from the backyard, and she couldn't see a grand event like tonight when she was in the capital.

Li Yuntian looked in the direction of Zhao Xinyue's finger, and a smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth, Hongluan and Zijuan were among the three Qingqi people, and the remaining Qingqi person was from the Qinglou in Nanjing, if he remembered correctly, and he had unique attainments in calligraphy and painting.

Although the statistical results have not yet been announced, everyone present already knows that the Qingqi person of Nanjing Qinlou is definitely Ji Kui, and there is still a significant gap between her and Hongluan and Zijuan, and now everyone is interested in who can win the championship in this Jiangnan Oiran Conference.

Sure enough, the Qingqi man of Nanjing Qinglou got Ji Kui of this Oiran Conference, and got a seal made of pure gold, engraved with the word "Ji Kui", as well as the year, month and day, and the top of the seal was also inlaid with a green gem.

The seals of the Oiran and the Aqui are the same size as the seal of the Jikui, except that the seal is engraved with the words "Oiran" and "Aqui", the top of the Aqui's seal is inlaid with a blue gem, and the top of the Oiran seal is inlaid with a red gem.

"Since the Jiangnan Oiran Conference has been held, each Oiran Conference will be selected by the number of golden flowers, but this time is different from the previous ones, according to the statistical results, the Red Luan girl from Hangzhou Yueyue Pavilion and the purple cuckoo girl from Hangzhou Tianxiang Pavilion have the same number of flowers, and they cannot be distinguished."

Just when everyone at the scene looked at Hongluan and Zijuan on the stage with interest, wanting to know which of the two could win the championship, the master of ceremonies glanced at the statistical results in his hand, and then announced loudly.

Boom, hearing this strange result, the hall immediately became commotion, people talked to each other, no one thought that such a bizarre thing would happen.

Hongluan and Zijuan, who were in a nervous mood, were also stunned, and the two never expected that there would be a tie, so how to determine the ownership of the Oiran.

Sister Hong and Aunt Zi, who were standing on the side of the hall, both had stunned looks, the two had experienced nearly ten Jiangnan Oiran conferences, and they had never encountered a draw.

Li Yuntian stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of moon cake from the pastry plate in front of him, and tasted it there slowly, the development of the situation developed according to his expectations, it seems that Chen Guangzong really bothered to give himself a big gift this time.

"I'll give Miss Hongluan ten golden flowers!"

"I'll give the Purple Juan girl fifteen golden flowers!"

"I'll give Miss Hongluan fifteen golden flowers!"

"I'll send the purple girl more than ten golden flowers!"

"I'll give Miss Hongluan fifteen golden flowers!"

……

After the initial consternation, the audience came from the shouts of the guests, and they sent golden flowers to Hongluan and Zijuan, anyway, the Oiran was smashed out of silver, and whoever got the most golden flowers in the end between Hongluan and Zijuan was naturally the Oiran.

"Uncles, don't be impatient, don't be impatient." Seeing the turbulence in the hall, the master of ceremonies hurriedly pressed his hands down, and said loudly, "After our checking, we found that there is still a golden flower that has not been recovered. ”

Hearing this, the scene suddenly fell silent, and people looked at the master of ceremonies curiously, wondering whose hand the last golden flower was.

"Ladies of honor who hold the last golden flower, if you think that the Red Luan Girl and the Purple Juan Girl are good enough for this Oiran, then please vote for them." The master of ceremonies didn't know whose hand the last golden flower was, so he glanced around at everyone in the audience and said loudly.

With his voice, the tension in the hall was pushed to the top in an instant, and people waited with great interest for the appearance of the last golden flower.
