Chapter 7: Competing for Beauty (1)

The autumn wind outside the window, whistling and blowing, blew the leaves on the trees all over the ground, which seemed to contain a chaotic charm, Cheng Chen picked up the dead leaves that fell on the edge of the window, and recalled in his mind that today he asked Xizhu to inquire about the news of the Oiran Competition.

The Great Xia Dynasty was prosperous, the country was peaceful and peaceful, the people of the country were open, the people were rich, and behind the prosperity was the singing and dancing, and the lights were bright and green.

The Oiran Contest began when the new emperor ascended the throne and was held to celebrate the new emperor's accession to the throne and to reflect the prosperity of the world, and it has been held since then, just like the imperial examination, once every three years.

The beauties participating in the competition can become famous and gain fame and fortune! Become a world-famous Oiran, and the value is naturally unattainable.

The Oiran competition is held on the bank of the Qujiang River, the painting boat sails into the riverside bank to perform, and the viewing platform is set up on the riverside, and there are the world's celebrities and wealthy businessmen and dignitaries to do the selection, the selection is not the same as the guests in the modern entertainment program, saying different good things to fool each contestant, and the selection method is piled up with silver.

The first to enter the viewing platform is to pay an entrance fee of 100 taels, and after entering, each person must buy ten "flower sticks", and the flower sticks are voted for the head of the favorite line. Count the lotteries under the first place of each participating bank, and the largest number wins. It has to be said that this rule is also fair, limiting the number of flower sticks that can be purchased per person.

Cheng Chen has already selected the talent to participate in the competition, plagiarized Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Tou Bright Moon", Su Shi has not appeared in this era, and it is impossible to know if there is such a person in the future.

Guzheng plays and sings "When is the Bright Moon in the Water Tune", as a famous word card that has been famous for thousands of years, Cheng Chen has no doubt about its attractiveness, with Faye Wong's tune, Cheng Chen likes Faye Wong very much in modern times, and often imitates Faye Wong's voice to practice singing.

"Miss, miss, I'm back." The sound of Xizhu's jumping footsteps came with the sound of silver bells.

"Miss, the slave is so happy, the slave has not been on the street for a long time. Also bought a lot of food. Xi Zhu bent his arm and carried a large basket containing a lot of food, and he was holding a string of rock sugar gourds in his hand, and his small mouth was licking happily, and Xiaoqing who followed behind was also holding a rock sugar gourd and eating it shyly.

"You monkey, you've been wandering around for the past two days, leaving Miss here alone, and you're just having fun by yourself."

"But miss, did you ask someone to go out and inquire about the news? When you go to the street, you also ask people to inquire about the impact of the Oiran Contest outside, and they inquire clearly, and many vendors and passers-by outside are discussing the Oiran Contest, and they are going to do business. Xizhu complained that her young lady shouldn't forget that she went out to do business.

"Good, good!" Cheng Chen hurriedly praised, "Hard-working, beautiful and lovely Xizhu girl, take it over and see what delicious food you have bought." Cheng Chen changed the topic, knowing that he couldn't argue with the little girl in terms of fun.

Xiaoqing on the side looked at the relationship between the master and servant, and was envious in her heart, glad to meet such a master.

After Cheng Chen sat down, he beckoned the two little girls and said, "Come, you both sit down and eat together." ”

"Well, that's not good, miss." Xiaoqing cautiously refused.

"Xiaoqing, I said that I don't have so many rules, if you don't listen, Miss will be annoyed." Cheng Chen looked at Xiaoqing angrily, and stretched out his hand to pull her closer.

Xiaoqing had no choice but to follow the young lady to the table of the eight immortals and sit down.

"Miss, this crispy roast duck is so fragrant, it makes saliva when you smell it." Xizhu is peeling off a butter paper in his hand, revealing the golden and shiny roast duck inside.

Cheng Chen looked at Xizhu, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "If it's delicious, you can eat more." ”

Cheng Chen had the best appetite, and tore a duck wing with elegant movements, and the three of them ate happily.

"Xiaoqing, it is rumored that there are two very beautiful girls in Xuanyu Pavilion, I have been here for two days, why haven't I seen them, I really want to see if they are beautiful." Xizhu ate with a mouth full of oil, chewing his small mouth and talking with opening and closing, looking very funny.

"Xuanyu Pavilion has two top brands, Yin Yue and Mo Xiang two girls, Yin Yue girl was ransomed by a rich foreign rich businessman a while ago, this matter also caused a lot of turmoil in Shengpingfang, many rich children who like Yin Yue girl are hammered and sad, and Mo Xiang girl has not returned with the Guogong Mansion Shizi cruise ship three days ago, I heard that it was because of not being angry that she was robbed of the place to participate in the Oiran competition."

After Xiaoqing finished speaking, she glanced at Cheng Chen quickly, and lowered her head a little weakly.

"Humph! Miss to participate in this Oiran contest is overkill, what is there to be jealous of, Miss, the slave maid heard that there is a "competition list" in Shengpingfang, there are ten versatile beauties, five people who can participate in the competition are among them, Xuanyu Pavilion is now Miss Contestant, Yi Lianli of Jinxiu Building, Xiao Xiaoxiao of Qiongfangyuan, Han Yan of Ya Xianju, Huixin of Fan Chenjian, the most powerful is Yi Lianli of Jinxiu Building, which is famous, known as "Female Jinshi", and her appearance is also the most beautiful of several people, and the other three are also versatile, Xiao Xiaoxiao's pipa is exquisite, the voice of the cold smoke makes people linger for three days, and the Huixin Amazing Dance is like a fairy falling into the mortal dust, I heard that the mortal dust stream is because of the Huixin girl's amazing dance and changed the signboard. ”

"Well, yes, the little girl can find out so much useful information and give you a big one."

Xiaoqing stopped chewing and twisted her delicate eyebrows, looked at Cheng Chen, and then looked at Xizhu.

"It's the meaning of kissing, Miss often gives me a lot." Xizhu actually saw Xiaoqing's silent inquiry.

"But Miss, the slave maid didn't hear about Yi Lianli's attainments in dance, music, and music, and that's all this competition is for." The little girl's mood was still high just now, and she suddenly pulled down her shoulders.

"It's okay, it's not difficult to guess, this girl is definitely not as good as Huixin in dance. Singing is not only based on a good voice, but also needs to have gorgeous and colorful word cards, so she will choose the two directions of music and instrument. Cheng Chen stretched out his clean paws and stroked the little girl's head.

"Miss, it's amazing, why didn't the slave think of it. Don't touch it, they're not puppies. Xizhu muttered dissatisfiedly.

"I didn't say puppies."

"It's the puppy that the slave said."

"Well, you said... It's a puppy. ”

"Ahem, ahem! Ahem! ”

"Oops! Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you? You can still be choked on something to eat, and I'll give you a smooth back. Xizhu quickly got up and hurriedly gave Xiaoqing a back.

Cheng Chen looked at the babbling Xizhu in front of her, this little girl has only been away from that place for a few days and has become more lively, "people" has become a mantra, I just hope she can keep this heart all the time.
