Chapter 128: The First Session of the Oiran Conference

With green curtains fluttering and colorful curtains swaggering, the annual Oiran Conference was held on the first day of March as scheduled.

This is a grand event, not to mention that people in the capital come to watch, but there are also many people from other places who have made a special trip to see the romance of the Beijing division and the beauty of the Oiran.

On the banks of the Chunchou River, the stage has already been set up. It was very wide, the size of seven or eight houses.

There are 100 pear wood armchairs on each of the eastern, western, and northern sides, which are for 300 judges to sit on.

On the left side of the south side, dozens of square benches are placed for the family members of each song house, and on the right are the musicians who sit.

There are many curtains on the riverside of the stage, which is where the participating families wait for the venue.

The judges came up from the south steps, and the people from the song hall came up from the north, so they must not be confused.

At this time, Su Haoyi saw that there were many more people watching the excitement than in previous years, and the black pressed a crowd.

Nephrite said on the side: "This year is very lively, so naturally there are more people coming, so I thought that there must be more judges than in previous years." ”

As he spoke, the officers and soldiers who came to maintain order shouted: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

It turned out that there were several judges who had arrived, and Su looked at these people with good intentions, and she recognized them all. There are Danqing masters, music artists, and calligraphy celebrities.

After a while, another group of people came, including Confucian merchants, poets, and hermits, and a few of them were new faces, and I don't know if they were newly invited this year or people who had not come in previous years.

Among them, there was also a high monk, who was recognized by everyone, and his Dharma name was clear.

In fact, there is nothing strange about this, the Great Xia Kingdom worships Buddha, and the status of monks is very high. In addition to the fact that officials above the second grade do not send the post, other celebrities and celebrities can be invited, but although they are sent, it is up to me to decide whether to come or not.

"How did the master set foot in the mortal world today?" Mr. Wu Ya was also judging, and asked with a smile.

They have a good personal relationship on weekdays and often talk together.

Master Zhiran looked light and light, and said with one hand: "Color is emptiness, emptiness is color." ”

Wu Ya said with a smile: "Sure enough, the master can see it thoroughly!" ”

No sooner had the group passed than another man came over.

Su Haoyi happened to look at it, and was immediately startled, it turned out to be the power of the world!

He didn't wear black today, but changed into a dark blue robe, but he was still cold, with a tense face, and he stepped onto the stage without squinting.

Because of his arrival, the noise of the crowd became smaller in an instant, and it seemed that the living Hades were not in vain.

But soon the crowd was boiling again, and even more loudly was raised. The crowd automatically separated into a wider passage, and Sima Lantai arrived dressed in white, as if he had just fallen from the Nine Heavens.

Although he has been in Beijing for less than a year, his reputation is already very loud, and the people respect him.

Su Haoyi hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and Sima Lantai's arrival surprised her even more.

Although I knew that the Teaching Workshop Division would send him a post of regret flowers, I thought he should not come.

Many people saw Sima Lantai for the first time, and they praised one after another: "It's really better to meet than to be famous!" It's a worthwhile trip! ”

Sima Lantai's complexion was dignified, but he did not look arrogant, and calmly stepped onto the stage.

Then some judges came one after another, and sure enough, there were dozens more than in previous years. Of the 300 seats, only 20 were empty, and some of the 20 or 20 people who did not come were not in the capital, and some were delayed by family affairs.

Suddenly, the crowd was divided again, and a dozen sturdy young men opened the way and carved out an open space under the stage, followed by a few more people carrying two large circle chairs and putting them down.

Hai Qingqiu came over with his wife and children and sat on the two chairs.

"It turns out that the eldest brother and sister-in-law are also here this year." Su looked at it and smiled: "I'll go over and say hello first." ”

"You're all set, aren't you?" Hai Qingqiu asked Su Haoyi: "Do you want to send a few brothers over to help you?" ”

"Thank you eldest brother for your concern, I will be at peace when you and your sister-in-law come." Su kindly took Jiaguan over, held him in his arms, and said with a smile.

"Then I wish you victory!" Zhang pursed his lips and smiled: "We are in the audience, if there is something, we will talk about it." ”

Su nodded hurriedly.

At this time, the heads of the families had already begun to take the stage, and Su Haoyi handed over the Jiaguan to Hai Qingqiu, and went around to the north of the platform to come to the stage.

She sat down next to Aunt Liu in the Acacia Pavilion, and Dong Qingping had already arrived, and looked at her with a smile.

Su smiled back.

The commander walked up to the stage in a red and yellow dress, he was the Si Le of the Teaching Workshop Division, named Jiang Ming, and was nicknamed Red Golden Voice.

Although he is now in his early fifties, he is still in good spirits and does not show his old age, especially the voice, which is clear and crisp, not ambiguous at all.

I saw him holding a copper luo in his hand, walked up to the stage to greet everyone first, and then picked up the gong and struck it twice, and everyone in the audience was a little quieter.

"The flowers are blooming, and the flowers are more cherished," Jiang Sile overwhelmed the noise of the audience as soon as he opened his voice: "The beautiful scenery of a good day should be enjoyable, and now the time is almost over, and the Oiran Conference officially began after the three opening dances of firecrackers!" ”

Everyone was looking forward to this life, and immediately cheered in unison, and the sound was as high as a tsunami.

Sure enough, after three cannon shots, dozens of dancers from the teaching department came up from the audience, and they danced the group dance that won the previous year, which is also the old rule.

The opening dance itself also has the effect of setting the stage, and after a dance, everyone in the audience is really not as impetuous as before.

After the dancers retreated, Jiang Ming walked to the center of the stage and announced: "Today is the first show, look at the group dances of each family, or draw flowers according to the old rules and sign the order." ”

As he said this, someone came up with a stick.

The family members of each flower building also got up and prepared to go forward to draw lots, because there were many elders among them, Su Haoyi did not rush forward, but Dong Qingping rushed ahead with an arrow.

Su Haoyi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, feeling that something was wrong, and at this time, Dong Qingping had already drawn a lot.

After everyone had drawn lots, another secretary came to register the signature numbers of each family.

Liangxiao Yuan ranked first, and Chu Waist Hall was fourth.

It stands to reason that the order of the draw does not mean anything, it is just an order of appearance, but Su Haoyi felt that Tong Qingping seemed to be plotting something.

But the time was too short for her to think about it.

The order has been decided, and the next step is to perform in order.

Dong Qingping sat there with a smile on his face, looking like he was sure of victory.

As soon as the dozens of girls from Liangxiao Garden came on the stage, they caused exclamations from the audience, these people were dressed as flying in Buddhist murals, revealing two white lotus-like arms with armbands on their arms.

Although such images are common in Buddhist murals, in reality few people dress up like this.

"Did you hear that? The music of Liangxiao Temple was composed by Mr. Feng Xiao! Su Haoyi heard someone next to him.

"Didn't Mr. Feng Xiao wander away? It's been a long time since I was in Kyoto. Some people questioned it.

"That's why I say that people have great powers." Some people lamented: "No wonder you have so much confidence." ”
