Chapter Twenty-Eight: Ancient Talent Shows
After a while, a melodious sound of the piano sounded from behind the curtain on the stage downstairs, and at the same time, the noisy hall fell silent in an instant, everyone's eyes widened, and some people stretched their necks long, trying to see the lovely people behind the curtain.
Seeing that the atmosphere had been mobilized, the smile on her face was getting bigger and bigger, she pretended to be serious and rang a copper bell in her hand, and said: "Please be quiet, please be quiet, please be quiet, this Tianxianglou Oiran Election Contest has officially begun!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the audience erupted in warm applause, and some people stretched their necks and kept whistling to the stage, signaling the bustard to start as soon as possible.
At this time, the turtle slave handed two red booklets and colorful number plates to me and the hands of the King of Ease, like a silky smooth feel to the touch felt very special, on the cover of the six "Tianxianglou Chronicles" bronzing characters in the candlelight shining unusually dazzling. I scratched it with my hand, and I found gold dust.
Flipping through the booklet, a relatively simple map came into view, which indicated the location of Tianxianglou, which was located in the center of the capital, in modern terms, it was located in a prime location with convenient transportation.
Tianxianglou not only provides the services that the general Qinglou can provide, but also can even carry out systematic training in the talents of the daughters of large families in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc., and at the same time, in addition to these, it will also undertake a variety of other projects, such as customized clothes, a variety of outings and a series of all-round services, it can be said that it is a commercial comprehensive Qinglou that integrates thousands of functions.
Among these activities and projects, the most eye-catching is the triennial Oiran election. This Oiran election is no longer only from the women in the Tianxiang Building, but a wide range of invitations, as long as interested women can participate, whether from the aristocracy or the common people's family, can participate, the final winner can not only get a large bounty, but also jump on the branch to become a phoenix, become a dazzling princess. That's why every year, many people's daughters are sent here to study, just to have such a day.
This year's Oiran election has been busy as early as the end of the previous year, and after three years of selection and preparation, five women have been selected as this year's contestants. They are the bewitching Hanying, the outstanding Qiu Yin, the soft and petite Ruyan, the excellent piano skills Min Xue and the temperament of the dusty Sakura.
Among the five women, except for Min Xue from the Shangjia family, the other four were either abducted or came here voluntarily. According to the different characteristics of the five people, the bustard found the best teachers in the capital to teach them skills, one is to make this year's election more competitive, and the other is to make those rich people contribute more money. Therefore, every time an Oiran is cultivated, it can not only drive the economic development of Tianxianglou, but also a time-consuming and labor-intensive thing.
I flipped a few more pages back to the booklet, and it was full of introductions and portraits of the Oiran candidates, and those portraits were beautifully drawn, all of them looked like fairies descending to earth, and they definitely aroused the amorous hearts of men.
I peeked at the King of Joy next to me, and saw him flip through the booklet in his hand casually as usual, and then stopped on a certain page and looked at it carefully for a while.
I leaned over to see which beauty could make him so attractive, but he closed the book at once, tapped my head, and said, "Don't read what you shouldn't!" ”
I touched my forehead that was hurt by him and pouted, silently glanced at him in my heart, and then turned my head to quietly look at the draft below.
"Mom, when will this game start, we've been waiting for so long!" There were already people who couldn't bear it and shouted loudly.
I followed the sound and saw a stout man standing on a chair and shouting loudly at the stage, and his roar provoked the quiet crowd to boil, and the old bustard had to shake the brass bell again vigorously.
"Now, please enjoy a song and dance performance first~" The old bustard's hands clapped, the music played, and immediately several women in tulle came slowly from the backstage with light dance steps. Miao Man's body looms in the candlelight and tulle, evoking imagination.
I held my chin and stared intently at the dance of the women on the stage, whether it was from the music or the dancing posture, it was a very popular dance in modern times, but I just turned over the entire Tianxianglou and didn't find Sisi's figure, could it be that this is the product left by the people in front of me when they crossed?
I sighed inadvertently, just sad that I didn't find Sisi. This not too loud sigh was heard by the King of Pleasure, and he turned his head to me and said with a smile, "What? Are you envious of those dancing girls on stage? ”
I gave him a blank look and said, "You are envious, I am a man, how can I dance like them!" ”
The King of Freedom didn't speak, stretched out his index finger and tapped on the table, turned his head and continued to look at the excitement below.
I also sat up straight and watched intently.
After a period of singing and dancing, the election meeting finally officially began.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet, and thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to participate in the Oiran campaign! I now announce that the triennial Oiran Election Convention has officially begun! There was thunderous applause from the audience.
The bustard smiled and made a gesture asking everyone to be quiet: "Please take the number plates of each girl in your hand, and we will finally decide which girl has the most supporters." ”
The old bustard paused and continued: "According to the practice of previous years, the first round of appearance and body shape selection is carried out, please stand in the center of the stage one by one!" After finishing speaking, I saw ten women with different temperaments and appearances slowly walking out from behind the light gauze curtain, uniformly wearing a bright red short-sleeved blouse, and the red tulle long skirt on the lower body passed through the light, and the snow-white slender thighs loomed, and the *** that Yingying held was fully exposed to everyone's sight. At this time, some of the prostitutes in the audience had their eyes straightened, and some stretched out their arms, wanting to touch the woman on the stage.
Fortunately, the human wall in front of the stage had already blocked the frenzied spectators at this time, so as not to make the scene chaotic.
Seeing that the atmosphere had been mobilized at this time, the bustard immediately applauded and said, "Okay, now please raise the number plate in your hand, and we will start counting the number of supporters for each girl!" ”
I looked down at the five different colors of the number plate in my hand, and I didn't know what to do for a moment. Seeing that I was so embarrassed, the King of Joy casually took one out of my hand, and with a flick of his index finger, the number plate had already flown in the direction of the bustard, and landed right in front of the bustard.
I can see that this is a technique for using a secret weapon, but I seem to have seen it somewhere. I couldn't think of it for a while, so I had to put it on hold for the time being.
"Hey, why are you making decisions for me!" I glared at him.
"I don't want to affect the whole game because of someone's sluggishness." The King of Joy took the cup in front of me and drained all the rest of the wine I had just drunk into his mouth.
I couldn't say anything when I saw him so invisible, so I could only raise my hand and fill another glass and continue to watch the game.
