Chapter Sixty-Four: The Strange Scene at the Oiran Tournament
Iris got up early in the morning and came to the door of the moon house. As soon as he wanted to push the door in, he thought of his previous recklessness, so he reached out and knocked on the door. Yueqi has woken up. Meditate and practice in bed. When he heard Iris knocking at the door, he replied, "Come in." ”
Iris tiptoed open the door and said, "Miss, I'll help you make up." Yueqi stretched and nodded. Only then did the iris pull at that. Iris put on the aqua blue robe for Yueqi, with a tooth-white gauze skirt inside, and combed her hair high with the meteor crown she had used before.
Yueqi took out the hairpin brought by Jiang Enshi last night and asked Iris to help her put it on, and suddenly she was more playful.
Iris looked at Yueqi, her eyes full of envy: "Miss, if only I could be as beautiful as you." ”
Yueqi patted her hand and said, "That's impossible. ”
Iris was choked by her, and suddenly lost her good mood and said, "Miss, do you know why you and Ziyan Shizi can be together?" ”
Yueqi looked at her, thinking that she didn't have anything good to say, so she said, "I don't listen." ”
Where did Iris have received this kind of routine, he put down the comb and said to himself: "Because the mouths of the two of you are like soaking in the poisonous swamp of the medicine valley!" ”
"Hahaha, my little bun, finally knows how to joke with me. I've been thinking a lot of things these days, but I've been suffocated. ”
Iris got up angrily, and then continued to dress up Yueqi. The two tossed again, and then packed up and went downstairs. The owner and others were already waiting in the hall.
"We won't go today, just Iris, Iris." The owner said with a smile.
Yueqi nodded, and then sat in a carriage with the flag of Yueshaofang under the support of Iris, and went to the Wanhualou in Fuyuan. This Wanhualou was originally a theater. The place is luxurious and spacious, so it is held there every time the Oiran Election is held.
The women who signed up for the election had to go to the assembly there first, and then draw lots. Piano, calligraphy, singing, and dancing are waiting for a talent to perform. When you perform on stage, everyone will put the money on one of them, and whoever has the most bets in the end will be the choice of the oiran.
All the silver used to press the Oiran is used to pay for the heavenly sacrifice. Yueqi listened to Iris's explanation, and then understood these details. It turned out that this Oiran election also had to deposit money, and in previous years, it was just a sacrificial activity in the market to ask for God's blessing.
This year, I was rewarded by the government, and I am afraid that there will be more people participating. Fortunately, the owner didn't come. Otherwise, don't choose it yet, and you'll have to put up some silver.
Finally arrived at Wanhualou, Yueqi opened the curtain to take a look, and sure enough, there were countless sedan cars at the door. There are more ornate ones, and the panache of the carriage is more exaggerated than Ziyan's carriage, and it is almost not painted with gold.
Yueqi smacked her tongue, and Iris couldn't help but have a headache when she saw her unproductive, and said, "Miss, don't look at it, we should go in, don't even sign it for a while." Yueqi only then relented. Busy and Iris got out of the carriage and walked in.
I saw several people in satin robes sitting at the door, holding brushes, sitting at a desk, registering the people who came. Although there are many people, they are all lined up in an orderly manner. Almost all of them are a master with a maid.
Xu is this year's high-ranking officials and aristocratic women, and they are all far away from each other, for fear that others will touch them. Iris pinched Yueqi's hand to comfort her.
"What dare you point at me?" In the crowd, a woman dressed in a gold-woven robe and wearing a ruyi golden step on her head was very flamboyant, scolding a registered person at the table.
The man was not annoyed, and said with a smiling face: "Girl, don't be angry, the fingerprint is just for fear that others will change your signature." ”
"That's not good, who knows what you're doing with this broken mud, in case you break my hand, your dog's head can't be replaced!" The woman raised her hand and shook it, only to see that her hand was wearing a pair of gloves woven with gold, which looked extremely luxurious.
The registered people looked at each other, not knowing what to do. After all, among these people this year, there are too many people with deep backgrounds that they can't afford to provoke. The dispute lasted for a long time.
"Either press the mudra, or get out." At this time, a cold scolding sound sounded behind Yueqi. Everyone stopped whispering and followed the sound.
The one who spoke was an iceberg beauty wearing a lotus pink gauze skirt with a bean green short gauze cover. This woman's appearance is on par with Yueqi, but her eyebrows and eyes are not as charming as Yueqi, and she is more cold and glamorous. There is a silver mark on the forehead.
"What are you?" The woman in a gorgeous costume had probably never been reprimanded, and turned to the iceberg beauty. The maid next to her saw the mark on the woman's forehead and secretly dragged her master. The iceberg beauty didn't pay attention to her, just stared at her coldly.
After a long time, the woman in gorgeous clothes was a little frightened, so she had to scold the maid next to her and say, "You go, press it for me!" The maid hurriedly pulled her master over and helped her to go to the desk to press her handprint. The registered person didn't want to cause trouble, so he just turned a blind eye.
"Miss, the woman with the mark on her forehead is afraid that she is Qiongshuang's person." Iris whispered to Tsuki.
Yueqi looked at Iris suspiciously, and Iris continued: "Qiongshuang is a neighboring country, very close to the flower slope where I was born, and it is over a mountain. In the early years, there were occasional pharmacists who came to us to collect medicine.
The people there have that imprint on them. It's just that it's icy and snowy all year round, and it's extremely cold, so all the people who can survive are some water spirits, and there are no humans who can adapt to it. ”
Yueqi nodded, no wonder this woman has a different temperament from others.
Looking around, Yueqi saw a familiar figure. I saw Yu Ruo looking at her with a smile. It seems that not only Qiongshuang, but even Huangsha has also sent beautiful women. It seems that this year has been very lively.
It took a long time for the slow team to have a process. It's the turn of the moon perch. After the registered person looked at her curiously after the name of Yueqi, she said, "Is this girl from Yueshaofang?" ”
Yueqi nodded cooperatively.
The man scratched the paper with the end of the pen, took out a piece of signed paper, and said to Yueqi, "Girl, please take off the veil first." Then just print your fingerprints on the signature paper and flower book. ”
Yueqi heard this, and then slowly took off the veil. Everyone saw Yueqi's true face and whispered.
"I heard earlier that the owner of the moon shop has a daughter, I'm afraid it's this girl!"
"Yes, it's just that I was stupid and stupid before, but now it's probably better, looking at the appearance, it's a fairy-like person!"
"What's more, I heard that the fruit wine in Yueshaofang is all prepared by this girl, and I learned about the bounty from there, so I went to the Hairpin Cloud Pavilion to make a hairpin."
For a while, Yueqi became the object of discussion in everyone's mouths, but Yueqi pretended not to hear it at all, only the woman who was making a loud noise just now couldn't help but laugh after seeing Yueqi's beauty: "Now you dare to come here to compare any goods." Isn't the daughter of the wine shop the demented woman who was entangled with the young master of the Liu family a while ago and fought with the prince. ”
For a while, everyone was silent, and Yueqi knew that everyone was waiting for her to see the joke. Iris nervously clenched the sleeve of Tsuki's coat. Yueqi smiled indifferently, and finished the steps one by one according to the steps said by the registered person, and then straightened up his waist and walked in front of the woman with the help of Iris.
Everyone watched with bated breath, and the woman was not afraid when she saw Yueqi approaching, and her face was full of disdain. She is the eldest daughter of General Zhang Yang under the command of the Vast Cliff. How could she be afraid of a woman who came out of a small wine shop. Besides, this woman has tarnished the reputation of the prince of the cliff a few days ago, which is enough for her to smoke Yueqi's tendons.
Yueqi stood in front of her, didn't speak, just looked at her face curiously, which made her a little confused. was about to speak, but saw Yueqi raise his hand, everyone thought that Yueqi was going to slap it, but they saw Yueqi pick up the woman's luxurious robe, pinch her sleeves, wipe her hand vigorously, and wipe the mud that had just pressed her handprint.
The angry woman roared loudly: "You shitty billet, you dare to stain my clothes!" I want my dad to set foot in your liquor store!"
Yueqi snorted coldly and said, "Heh, your father? ”
Seeing that Yueqi not only did not beg for mercy, but mocked her, she reported her father's name: "My father is the general Zhang Yang under the command of the prince of the Vast Cliff!" You are a woman from a wine shop, what capital do you have to shout at me. ”
Hearing the word "Boundless Cliff", Yueqi suddenly became happy, glanced at Iris, and suddenly laughed. With a push of his hand, he pushed the woman to a stagger, and walked towards the venue with her head held high.
Everyone just watched the excitement, and no one dared to step forward to support the woman, and let the woman splash there for a long time. The maid had no choice but to whisper in her ear to coax her. glared at everyone angrily and the maid also entered the venue, leaving everyone to whisper and laugh in place.
"The daughter of the general under the command of the prince of the cliff, but I don't know that the daughter next to the owner's daughter is the righteous daughter of the princess!" I don't know who said this, and everyone laughed when they heard it. Only the iceberg beauty ignored everyone's ridicule and still watched this farce expressionlessly.
Yueqi entered the inner hall, opened the signing paper and saw that the dance word was in the ninth place. Fortunately, it was back so that she had enough time to enjoy the performances of other beauties. Although the people are very small, according to the information that Iris found from other people, in fact, there are only about 20 serious candidates.
It seems that most of them are lively. I don't know when, Youruo also came in with the crowd, looked for an opportunity, and rubbed next to Yueqi. Tsukisu pretended not to know her, sitting in a chair and drinking tea.
After a while, the drums beat around, it seems. This is the beginning to begin.
