Chapter 42: The Oiran Contest
didn't know that there was such a drama going on in the suburbs, Tao Yao was in a good mood at the moment to continue her shopping career.
The five squares of the idle stable have been completely destroyed by her, if it weren't for the fact that it is not easy to domesticate, she really wants to raise some dogs, eagles and the like in the house. Unfortunately, those animals were too ostentatious, and my father would never have agreed.
"If you really like it, you can buy a few birds and raise them, and the lord and lady shouldn't say anything." Because it was outside, Hongfu also changed her name by the way. Thinking of the pair of handsome Hai Dongqing she saw in the Eagle Fang just now, her eyes were also full of brilliance.
Indeed, such a heroic and arrogant bird is really heartbreaking, and it is reasonable that the little county lord will like it. However, in addition to dogs, most of them are birds of prey, and it is too dangerous to raise these. That's why she suggested that the little county lord change a few birds to raise, which is also in line with the general hobby of the ladies in the city now.
"What's the point if it's a parrot starling or something?" Knowing Hongfu's hard work, Tao Yao didn't bother to explain anything, so she waved her hand and passed.
The dazzling brilliance of those creatures stems from their free attitude to fight the sky and their wildness so fierce that they can tear everything apart. If they were to be bought back and put in cages, their original light would be gone, and not to mention how long they could live, even if they were still healthy and healthy, that was not what she liked in the first place. Breaking off a bird of prey's wings and imprisoning it with shackles is too cruel and indeed goes against her original intentions, so forget it.
"Well, it's all up to Childe." Since discovering that the little county lord is a very principled and assertive person, Hongfu has rarely done anything to persuade him. As long as the master knows what she is doing, then she can obey the order with peace of mind. For some reason, she always has a special belief in the little princess, and that special feeling that even the princess has never brought her. Therefore, in her eyes, even if the little county lord is not very old, it is enough to become her only heaven and earth.
After this little episode, the master and servant wandered around the small stall in the West Market. Just when Tao Yao was bored and was thinking about whether to go back to the house, she suddenly found that the people around her began to stir, especially the men around her, who were all gathering in one direction with excitement, and she raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"This little brother, is there something going on over there?" Hongfu was curious, and subconsciously grabbed a vendor on the side of the road who was about to close the stall: "Why is everyone running there?" ”
"Hey, there is an Oiran fighting ring over there in Yining Fang today, and the wind came out two days ago!" The peddler didn't mind Hongfu's somewhat rude movements, and shared the news he heard with her very righteously: "It is said that they are the most beautiful orchids in the nearby markets, and it is not uncommon for wealthy nobles to be general, but it is not cheap for ordinary people like us!" So everyone wants to open their eyes, and if it's late, they won't be able to grab a good position! As he spoke, he rolled up his stall and put it away in three or two clicks, and chased after the large army in front of him with great steps. While running, I didn't forget to remind Hongfu: "I said you two, if you want to see it, hurry up, and if you stand stupidly over there, you can only see the black crowd!" ”
Hongfu: "......"
The two of them were women, running to huddle together with a group of men and waiting to see the beauty, I'm afraid they weren't crazy.
"Orchid chooses an oiran......" It turns out that the idea of her little county lord is always different, just when Hongfu is so slanderous, Tao Yao stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers, the corners of her mouth hooked, revealing a naughty smile, and she got rid of the virtue of a high-ranking gentleman: "Let's go, let's go to Yiningfang to have a look!" ”
Compared with the famous flowers of the north in Pingkangfang, Yiningfang, Gudefang and Xishi are the most famous ones are the demon orchids from outside the Saiwai.
In order to cater to the taste of literati and ink writers, the Fengyue women in it are also good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and basically take the gentle and beautiful, talented interpreter flower route. This is not the case on the Yiningfang side. The proximity of the city to the outskirts of the city makes it more popular for high-rollers and travelers, so the enthusiastic, dancing and exotic orchids are more popular. Just as the most beautiful and talented women in Pingkang Fang are known as the famous flowers of Kitasato, Yining Fang will also cooperate with the nearby fang market to conduct an open selection of oiran every spring, and only the orchid that can attract the attention of customers the most can be regarded as the leader, and can have greater autonomy, rather than being sold at will by the owner like goods. Therefore, the annual championship is very important for every orchid, and an ingenious dance may change the fate of their lives.
Tao Yao took the red fu and wrapped it in the crowd, until she knew all the relevant information, she squeezed it out sweatingly, and then turned to the teahouse on the side to rest. She has seen a lot of beauties, but she doesn't know much about such competitions, of course, she has to figure it out so that she came to watch it in vain.
"Childe, do you really want to watch the game before you go back?" Reaching out and pouring a cup of tea for Tao Yao, Hongfu's face was already so dark that it couldn't be darker. It was a trivial matter for the prince and the princess to know that sneaking out, and if she knew that she still brought the little princess to see such an inopportune scene, I am afraid that her skin would be skinned alive. Just thinking about it makes her feel creepy, she can't even sit down.
"Don't worry, the second floor of this teahouse is facing the ring of Tianxiang Pavilion, we can see it clearly here, we don't have to squeeze with people at all, nothing will happen." Waiting for Xiao Er to serve the pastry with a leisurely face, Tao Yao once again sighed with emotion how wise it is to remember to bring money when going out.
This teahouse called Tianshuiju is facing Tianxiang Pavilion, which is usually famous for the above good tea and dim sum, and the price is naturally expensive. Even if ordinary people can afford it, they can only make do in the lobby on the first floor, and as for the quiet private seat on the second floor, hehe, isn't it being covered by her alone now.
"That's what I said...... Hongfu's heart was still up and down, and just as she was about to open her mouth to explain the seriousness of the matter, she suddenly found that two more people came up from the staircase opposite her. It was also two women, both dressed as master and servant, and one of them, who seemed to have inconvenient legs and feet, immediately attracted all her attention.
