Ji Yanning looked down, and he could indeed see the venue clearly, and everyone looked looking forward to it.

"Ji Jiu, go and call a girl to come and accompany you. Ji Yanning opened his mouth and said to Ji Jiu on the side.

Ji Jiu was slightly stunned, he was already very surprised that the eldest lady came to Qinglou, and now he actually asked the girl to come over to play with him, which really overwhelmed him.

Yuan Jiaojiao also felt strange: "We are here to watch them perform, why do we call the girl over?"

Ji Yanning said: "It's so boring to just look like this, and we don't know those performers, so it's better to find someone to come over and talk about it." ”

Ji Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, so he went out and called a girl over.

It didn't take long for a girl wearing a red light gauze skirt to enter the cubicle, and the entire Baifang Pavilion was warm, like a warm spring, so the women inside were dressed very lightly.

"Two sons. The girl stepped forward and saluted slightly, looked up at Ji Yanning and Yuan Jiaojiao, and suddenly frowned slightly, as if she was a little entangled.

Ji Yanning knew that she could see that they were not men, so she took out a piece of silver, put it on the table, and said, "Come and sit." ”

Who can get along with money, the girl answered, came to Ji Yanning and Yuan Jiaojiao's side, and stepped forward to pour wine for the two of them.

"What's your name?" asked Ji Yanning.

The woman replied, "Red Sleeves." ”

"Red sleeves add fragrance, good name. Ji Yanning said with a smile.

As they were talking, the competition on the first floor had begun, and the seats below were basically full, and there were many people in the cubicles on the second floor, all of whom were on the test bench.

A woman stands on the stage and talks about the rules of the competition.

"Welcome to watch the primary election of the Oiran Conference, our Baifang Pavilion is not a big place, there are so many talented people gathered here, so that this place is full of brilliance, it is an extreme honor! ”

Ji Yanning looked back at Red Sleeves: "Who were the top three last year?"

Red Sleeves said with a smile: "Last year, Qu Ling'er from the Li'an Sect won the position of Oiran, and the other two were the Moon Listening Girl of Baifang Pavilion and the Liushu Girl who was full of flowers. ”

The woman below continued to talk about the rules of the competition: "The rules of this competition are as follows: After each girl's performance is over, she can vote, and she can vote for one or two pieces of silver, and when all the girls' performances are over, the votes will be counted, and then you can add more votes, but at that time it will be one or two silver and one vote." ”

"The fifteen girls with the highest number of votes will be selected, so please cheer for the girl you like!"

Yuan Jiaojiao sighed twice and said: "It's a high-sounding thing, isn't it just making money, whoever spends more money can decide who is selected, how can it be what everyone expects to be selected?"

Red Sleeves said: "That's a good thing, but isn't it their ability to make others throw money at it? But only the rules of the primary election are like this, and the runoff is not determined by voting, but by selecting more famous people to give a score and decide the final Oiran." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao nodded, but still said, "Maybe those who rated were also bought." ”

Red Sleeves was slightly stunned, and there was nothing to say for a while.

Yuan Jiaojiao laughed when she saw Red Sleeves like this, raised her chin and pointed at Ji Yanning, squeezed her eyebrows at Red Sleeves and said: "Tell you secretly, those dignitaries and nobles below may not be as rich as the son next to you, and if you are comfortable serving her, you may be able to send you all the way to the position of Oiran." ”

Red Sleeves lowered his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "I think, but you two may not be sons, I'm afraid you have to call Xiao Qi to make you happy." What's more, the people sitting in the seats below are either rich or expensive, and the price of their seats can be a full double that of the second floor. ”

Yuan Jiaojiao was exposed to her identity, and she felt bored for a while, pursed her lips, and stopped talking.

Ji Yanning's face was as usual, looking at the performance that had already begun.

The first girl to play the piano and sing may be the first to appear, so she is very nervous, so many people are just staring at themselves below, and there was a slight trill at the beginning, but then it slowly got into the best situation, which is good.

Ji Yanning asked Red Sleeves: "How was this order of appearance determined?"

Red Sleeves said: "It was decided by lottery, this girl is a pity, I'm afraid she was a little nervous to make this mistake." ”

A few of the boys walked through the crowd with wooden trays and asked if anyone would vote for the girl, but many generously donated money.

The second girl performed a dance, which was beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and made many people fall in love with it.

Ji Yanning and Yuan Jiaojiao sat on the second floor and watched the performances below, commenting a few words from time to time.

Red Sleeves also knew that these two girls were probably the young ladies of the family, probably because they were curious, so they came to join in the fun, and asked her to come over to accompany her, just to let her explain, she was also very good, and gradually she knew what to say without Ji Yanning asking her.

A few people walked into the crowd and went up to the second floor, and the girl from Baifang Pavilion took a few of them to a compartment not far from Ji Yanning and them.

The sharp-eyed Yuan Jiaojiao saw Duan Wufang's figure, and suddenly became vigilant, frowning and said: "Why is that plague god here! It's really unlucky to have fun and meet this evil star." ”

She silently moved to the side, letting Ji Yanning's body cover her face.

Ji Yanning followed Yuan Jiaojiao's gaze and looked over, and when she saw Duan Wufang, she was also a little puzzled, and turned her head and asked Red Sleeves: "Are the people who just came up regular?"

Red Sleeves shook his head and said, "That Lord Duan is a well-known jade-faced Yama, he only has a case in his eyes, if he appears in the Qinglou, he will come to arrest someone." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao snorted coldly: "I don't understand the amorous feelings." ”

Red Sleeves couldn't help but laugh because of Yuan Jiaojiao's comment.

There have been several girls performing, but in Ji Yanning's opinion, they are all too ordinary, but there is nothing outstanding.

She asked, "What did last year's Oiran win the championship on?"

Red sleeves answered truthfully, that last year's Oiran Qu Ling'er is good at the qin, her piano skills are superb, known as Chang'an Qu Jinghong, and she is the top brand in the Li'an Workshop. Originally, Qu Ling'er was a young lady from a family, but later her relatives were investigated for crimes, and adult women were all enslaved, and women who were not old were sent to the teaching workshop and became art skills, or dance girls.

This Qu Ling'er had some reputation when she was not down, she had studied the piano from a famous teacher, and had a good piano skill, but later in the teaching workshop was not embarrassed because of this, but became the top brand in the teaching workshop, if it were not for the fact that the woman in the teaching workshop could not redeem herself within five years, I am afraid that there will be many people who rush to redeem her.

After hearing this, Yuan Jiaojiao felt that Qu Ling'er was also powerful, and she could live like this if she was so down.

Ji Yanning didn't react, she didn't expect that the Qu family was already down before she came back, but she didn't have to do it.

Another girl walked on the test table, wearing a purple dance dress, the thin light gauze outlined the graceful figure, and the blurred eyes were even more fascinating.

"Peony girl! Peony girl......"

Quite a few people below began to cheer her name.

A disdainful smile flashed in the corner of Red Sleeves' eyes.

As the music sounded, the peonies on the stage also began to dance, attracting bursts of applause from the men below.

Yuan Jiaojiao said: "It looks good, but this dance is not as good as the previous one." ”

Red Sleeves said: "It's enough to have a good face, and it will also seduce people and fascinate others, so naturally someone will throw money at her." ”

Sure enough, after she finished her performance, many people in the following positions threw out hundreds of taels of silver, which was more than most of the people in front.

"The performance of the peony girl is really wonderful, among which her vote is 2,46 votes, and Yan Gongzi directly gave 500 taels! 1,000 votes!" The little guy standing on the stage beat the gong and drum, counted the votes, and said loudly.

Ji Yanning looked down, and everyone said compliments to a man in a royal blue brocade robe, he should be the one who voted the most, Yan Jinzhong of Zhongdebo Mansion.

Ji Yanning glanced at Yuan Jiaojiao: "Now you know where you have money." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows slightly, and then understood what Ji Yanning meant.

Chung De Bo has money and can steal it.

She was about to say something, but when she turned her head and saw Duan Wuflaw looking in their direction again, she subconsciously hid behind Ji Yanning.

Duan Wufang, who was originally just a casual glance, couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw Yuan Jiaojiao's movements, and looked in their direction, but he could only see Ji Yanning's side face, but this side face seemed to be a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Ji Yanning also paid attention to Duan Wufang's gaze, she raised her eyes to meet his eyes, her face was as calm as water, and then she turned her head and continued to look at the performance below.

Duan Wufang saw Ji Yanning's face, pondered for a moment, and then remembered that it was the woman who had a relationship with each other in Zuixiang Building last time, and at that time she also said that she recognized the wrong person.

It is strange that a woman actually ran to the Qinglou to watch the excitement.

Yuan Jiaojiao was a little weak-hearted, so she could only hide on Ji Yanning's side all the time, settle down, silently watch the performance on the first floor, and from time to time she looked at the compartment on Duan Wufang's side, and saw that they didn't move, and gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, there is a man in the fourth compartment on the left who seems to be a little strange, looking at us from time to time. One of Duan Wufang's subordinates reported in a low voice.

Duan Wufang frowned slightly, looked over again, and could only see that there was another person beside Ji Yanning, but he couldn't see her face clearly, originally thought it was just a coincidence, but now it seems that he deliberately didn't let him see it.
