Suddenly, the hanging-eyed old bustard swayed and walked closer with the three girls smiling, and snorted at Sheng Ying, singing: "Master, look, how are these people, her name is Ruyan, her name is Rumeng, her name is Ruyun, the three of them have their own talents, they are knowledgeable, and they are really Oiran." “

Sheng Ying snorted: "Well, stay and wait." ”

The old bustard hurriedly ordered to sit down, picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for each person, and said with a smile: "Three masters, this is polite, I will toast a few masters, I wish a few masters a cup of money, good fortune, prosperous official luck, and good luck, I will drink it first." After saying that, he drank it all, and then said sharply: "The three of you are careful to serve, don't mess with the bad heads of several masters." Then he immediately turned from yin to yang, and said with a smile: "Use it slowly, I can use it at any time." With that, he looked forward to the next group of guests.

Shangguan Hong and the three of them only cared about chatting with cold faces, no one looked at the dream-like smoke and clouds, the three girls were smart, they didn't say much, they answered if they asked, and poured wine for a few uncles when they had nothing to do.

It's not long before it's the highlight of the month: lighting the lights to win the championship. Lighting the lamp to win the championship is a game of rich guests, and the outstanding and well-known girl of the Ning Xiang Pavilion is judged by ten people every month, and one person from ten people is selected to win the top Oiran. There was another person who officiated at the guests and introduced them one by one, stirring up the spirit and attracting everyone's applause.

Lighting the lamp is to spend some silver taels to light a colorful lantern for the girl you like, the lamp is divided into a gold lamp, a jade lamp and an amber peacock lamp. The golden lamps are one hundred taels each, the jade lamps are one thousand taels each, and the amber peacock lamps are five thousand taels each. The one who gets the lamp is the oiran of the day, which is to light the lamp to win the championship, one is the girl to win the championship, and the other is to support the person who is proud to win the respect, which is quite useful. Lighting the lantern is quite popular with everyone, and it is the highlight of the Ningxiang Pavilion for the guests.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the capital, there are naturally rich businessmen and giants, sometimes they don't like an Oiran very much, just for the cards, going out is a proud capital, with identity. There are often different guests who support different girls, and different girls add firewood to the fire, so they compete under the field. The bustards and the girls like to have a lantern fight, so that a large number of silver tickets flow into their pockets.

With the sound of the piano silk and elegant rhyme, ten Oiran candidates took the stage, all of them showing off their flowers and branches, slim and elegant. Sometimes scratching his head and posing, sometimes there are eyebrows and flirtatious, sometimes charming, sometimes dancing; On and off the stage, you and I are nong, shouting and shouting, cheering and cheering, and doing everything possible to cheer for your favorite Oiran.

But when I saw a bewitching woman in charge slowly coming onto the stage, dressed in a red brocade robe and wearing mink fur, swaying up and down like a snake demon, with bright eyes and teeth full of charming smiles, as soon as she opened her mouth, people felt that this person was the most suitable for this business. But seeing her smile: "Uncle, the little woman is cheaply named Chuncao, Fang Ling is twenty-eight, whether it is the old guest revisiting or the new friend for the first time, today you have come to the right time, look, these ten on the stage are our Ning Xiang Pavilion carefully selected outstanding Oiran, this month each person got more than 100 colorful and exquisite lamps, is worthy of the name of the bird in the phoenix, the peony in the flower, this is of course inseparable from your many days of support, today, they are like a delicate rose waiting to be put again, waiting for you to pick, Lord, love and affection, Hug the beauty. Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?! ”

Her voice instantly ignited the atmosphere in the hall, and the audience was like water entering an oil pot and the sky was bursting with thunder, but she felt that there was a rumbling sound in her ears, noisy, and applauding.

Then, Chuncao continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, let them dance a short section for everyone first, sing a little song, and help you to cheer up, you can also see which girl you like the most, wait for a song and dance, and then ask the masters to light the lamp for their favorite girl." Girls, give you a boost and twist your skills! ”

As soon as the words fell, the girls on the field did their best to show their best skills, in order to win the favor and affection of the spectators, causing a burst of restlessness in the audience, about a quarter of an hour, Chuncao bewitchingly walked onto the stage, and began to use her provocative words to encourage the guests to light the lights for everyone on the stage.

There are about 20 tables downstairs, more than 100 guests, about 50 people upstairs, everyone is holding silver tickets, some are raising their hands, some are shouting, some are sending people forward, the hanging-eyed old bustard of Ningxiang Pavilion is smiling and directing the turtles to fly up and down, collecting silver tickets, and the principal on the stage, Chuncao, shouts every time, "Chengdong Baoxiang Zhai Li Ye lights two golden lamps for the lychee girl, and Ning Beile lights a jade lamp for the Saijinhua girl" and so on, and clamours everyone from time to time.

About a quarter of an hour, Chuncao asked everyone to pause for a while, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the most fierce 'victory' below, the top three are Meng Yan, Xiao Wan and Sai Jinhua three girls, and then tonight's Oiran will win from the three of them, from now on, you can light the lamp for these three girls, one is not much, ten is not much, the most important thing is to have you to support the scene, uncles, why are you still stunned, let's start!! ”

The audience began to be lively again, and after a while, there were fewer people lighting the lamp, because after all, the front was lit for the girl they liked, and the remaining guests who wanted to be good for the three girls lit the lamps lightly with each other, and gradually there was a taste of fighting.

Sheng Ying asked how many people were like smoke next to him, the situation of the two groups of guests, it turned out that the table on the east side of the upstairs was the famous big Belle Ningshan in the palace of Prince Li in the capital, Prince Li was deceased, he ate all day long, looking for fun, he liked Sai Jinhua the most, Sai Jinhua was born in a big family in the former Ming Dynasty, she was tall and outstanding, and she had a group of people in Ningxiang Pavilion, who was domineering.

A table in the middle of the downstairs is the Xiangbeile of the **** house, the second son of "****" Suren, the favorite Xiaowan, since ancient times Jiangnan is talented, Xiushui and green mountains are red-faced, Xiaowan is from the Qinhuai River, fled to the capital with her parents, and her parents died, living in Ningxiang Pavilion, and Xiangbeile and the two know each other very well.

Shangguan Hong and the others looked at it at a glance, and the Nimbelle upstairs could simply be described as "putting a fat pig into a splendid robe", full of rich clothes, gold and jade accessories, fat head and big ears, surrounded by a few fox friends and dog friends, and a few fierce thugs standing behind him.

Xiang Belle is very elegant, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, full of elegant dress, and is also very kind on weekdays, not a person who likes to be lewd and relaxed, but just likes the talent of Xiaowan girl, three or five literati at the same table, and several housekeepers and servants in long coats and coats behind. It is in stark contrast to Nimbel, it is simply a heaven and an earth, a difference between clouds and mud.

Originally, there was nothing to do, but Nimbelle provoked and made trouble all day long, and his words collided, but Xiang Belle didn't take it to heart, nor did he argue with him, and the matter of fighting the lantern was even more with him, first, the cultivation was quite good, and the other was that they were familiar with each other's fathers. But there is a little bit of secret anger in my heart today, Miss Xiaowan has been sick recently, which makes Xiang Belle worried, and today I want to hold a handful and coax her to be happy, but I thought that today Nimbelle refused to give in, he added a lamp to Xiaowan, and Nimbelle wanted to add a lamp to Sai Jinhua.

At this time, Xiang Beile also became anxious, and instructed the housekeeper to light five golden lamps for Xiaowan, and everyone applauded.

Upstairs, the fat pig Nimbelle didn't give in, and immediately lit five golden lamps for Sai Jinhua, Nimbelle said: "Xiang Belle, offended, today I see that Sai Jinhua will win the championship, you, don't bother." Then he laughed, and the fox friends around him burst into laughter.

The guests of Ningxiang Pavilion like to watch the appearance of the lanterns, and they all shout "Sai Jinhua, Sai Jinhua" while applauding. Xiang Beile stood up and said angrily: "Ning Beile, don't be too happy, Sister Chuncao, light a colorful and exquisite jade lamp for Miss Xiaowan!" As soon as these words came out, everyone cheered again, and shouted "Xiaowan, Xiaowan".

When the fat pig Nimbelle saw this situation, he laughed, and said to the surrounding fox friends and dogs: "Hmph, you are more expensive than me who is rich, how can you be pressed down by him, Chuncao, give Sai Jinhua two colorful exquisite jade lamps!" With that, he stood up and greeted Xiang Baylor downstairs.

At this time, the butler behind Xiang Belle said: "Lord Belle, forget it, it's not worth it." ”

Xiang Beile gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Chuncao, please light a colorful peacock lamp for Miss Xiaowan!" ”
