After Huang Yingying, Fang Qingshan continued to introduce the previous Oiran ladies to appear, all of them were very popular, some of them had already married well, but I don't know what Fang Qingshan said to move them to come back here and show up.

After that, Fang Qingshan announced today's competition system, today is a twenty-in-ten competition, that is, half of the people will be eliminated today, and the competition items are dancing, singing, and poetry; Song Nan nodded secretly, none of the contents of these three competitions involved appearance, which shows that this Oiran competition focuses on skills and talents, rather than just appearance. Of course, there are already criteria for appearance before entering the top 20 screening, and people with terrible looks can't enter this final link at all.

The judging group was composed of ten people on the first big ship in the east, these ten people were all famous people in Jiangnan, when Fang Qingshan introduced the names of these people, Song Nan was surprised to hear two familiar names: Tang Yin and Wen Zhengming. Song Nan was stunned, he had been in this era for so long, and he didn't know that he was in the same era as Tang Bohu and other four great talents in Jiangnan, it was really confused. Song Nan squinted at the boat, and was immediately disappointed, thinking that this Tang Bohu must be a suave and uninhibited image, but unexpectedly, sitting on that chair was a shriveled half-old man in a black robe, with a face full of wrinkles and a few strands of beard on his chin.

Tang Bohu is actually this virtue? Song Nan's eyes popped out half a foot, bounced back again, rubbed his eyes and looked at it carefully, and asked the people around him for advice, and got a positive answer, so he reluctantly accepted the reality.

The number of votes of the judging panel is not the only criterion, Fang Qingshan's rules also include popularity votes, and each Oiran candidate who gets the five thousand taels of silver rewarded by the people on the scene will automatically get a vote to pass the test; For example, if an Oiran candidate receives only four yes from the ten judges and is about to be eliminated, if a local tyrant gives her 15,000 taels of silver, she will automatically receive an additional three passes, and she will be promoted with seven votes in favor and six against.

Song Nan had to admire Fang Qingshan's means of accumulating money, needless to say, there were many suitors behind every Oiran candidate, among which there were many local tyrants and wealthy gentry of the family, and on this occasion, it was the time for them to express themselves; The well-dressed people sitting on the elegant seats on the dozens of boats vacated around the river are all Kaizi who are about to pay for their hard work.

Song Nan became more and more interested, full of interest in the upcoming game, he was in a bad mood during this time, and after coming to Nanjing, he was able to encounter such a wonderful thing, and immediately threw his troubles away. However, just as he was full of joy and ready to appreciate it, he heard Li Daniu whisper in his ear: "Brother, trouble is coming." ”

Song Nan turned his head to look at the north end of the white bridge, only to see a commotion at the head of the bridge, and more than a dozen people who looked like family members were violently breaking on the bridge deck full of people, pulling people to look at them rudely; A foul language cursed in his mouth: "Find those two boys and throw them into the river for you, ah...... Dare to yin the masters, let the master drink a belly of water, and the master wants to ask him to drink a belly of horse urine. ”

Song Nan frowned, and saw that the person who spoke was Zhou Gongzi who had just been dragged down the river by himself and Li Daniu, it seemed that he knew that someone was making a ghost, no wonder, although he couldn't see it from that angle, but the people on the shore could see it clearly, I was afraid that someone couldn't stand his threat and told them, this guy changed his clothes and took a dozen family members to search for him.

"Brother, what should I do? To hit or to avoid? ”

"Hit you on the head, let's go, let's hide."

Song Nan quietly turned around, and walked towards the south of the bridge with Li Daniu, when suddenly a shout came from behind him: "Where are those two guys, those two guys are there, those stupid black big ones are very easy to recognize, chase, chase, chase." ”

Li Daniu smiled bitterly: "Brother, don't blame me for this, it's not my fault that I'm black." ”

Song Nan smiled: "Yes, don't you run yet?" Song Nan and Li Daniu pedaled along the stone steps on the side of the bridge and ran to the river embankment wharf, and a few long wooden springboards on the wharf on the pier were set up on a big boat, and Song Nan and Li Daniu looked at the boat along the gangplank.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, this is my flower boat in Mingcuifang, you can't come up." Someone shouted at the bow.

Song Nan didn't care what he said, got on the bow of the boat, and turned around to see that Zhou Gongzi and a group of family members had chased him to the dock, so he stretched out his feet and pushed a springboard on the bow of the boat into the river. The family on the dock did not get on the boat, so they had to stand on the pier and jump to their feet and scold.

Song Nan dragged Li Daniu to the cabin of this flower boat, several servants dressed in servants came forward to stop him, and a fat turtle man stepped forward and shouted, "Who are you?" Don't trespass, get off the boat. Do you still understand the rules? ”

Li Daniu shouted, "Didn't you see anyone chasing the two of us?" Borrow your place to hide. ”

Saying this, the turtle prince was even more reluctant, waved his hand and frowned and shouted: "We can't be provoked that week, Gongzi Zhou, if we don't get off the boat again, we have to do it." ”

Song Nan's eyes cruised, and at a glance he saw that on the water in front of him, seven or eight boats apart, the flower boat like a smoke girl was parked there, and a red palace lamp was picked up in the starboard hatch very recognizable, so he hurriedly shouted: "Come slowly, we are people on the flower boat like a smoke girl, we are here to cheer her on, just now that guy was rude on the way, we reasoned with him, and this guy brought people to disturb; Borrow your boat and pass by, will they still eat you? ”

The turtle male fox said suspiciously: "You are the benefactor of the girl like smoke in the Cloud Pavilion?" ”

Song Nan said unashamedly: "Yes, the two of us cherish each other, and we are very close to each other, and today I came to cheer her on, and she is also ...... to me."

The turtle boy waved his hand to interrupt Song Nan and said, "Don't lie, this girl like smoke doesn't have any benefactors, she is notoriously cold-faced, will she fall in love with you?" Don't think that wearing a luxurious robe pretends to be a son's brother, I can see a lot of such people. But...... Since you know each other, I can't offend you, there is a springboard over there, all the way to the flower boat of the girl like smoke, go quickly, although we are not afraid of this surnamed Huang, but we can't offend him. ”

Song Nan bowed and said, "Thank you!" ”

Pulling Li Daniu from the other side of the gangplank to another flower boat, in the stunned people on the boat, he went to the next boat, passed through several times, and came to the flower boat of the smoke girl in the Cloud Pavilion. And Zhou Gongzi on the shore also got a small boat out of nowhere, and more than a dozen people got on the boat and rowed into the dense pile of boats.

This noisy and noisy hustle and bustle inevitably attracted the attention of many people, and Fang Qingshan, who was presiding over the selection, saw Zhou Gongzi and more than a dozen family members clamoring between the flower boats, his face was unhappy, he frowned and whispered a few words to the people around him, and the people around him hurriedly got on a big boat. Not long after, a servant on the big ship took a name slip and boarded a flower boat close to Zhou Gongzi's boat, leaned out and shouted: "Zhou Gongzi, someone asks you to leave quickly, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”

Zhou Gongzi raised his head and scolded: "Who the hell is so dragging like this? Do you want me to tell my father to send troops to seal you here? ”

The servant threw the name card into the boat, and a family member on the boat caught it and handed it to Zhou Gongzi. Zhou Gongzi scolded and took a few glances at it, his face changed, and he hurriedly ordered: "Go, go, go quickly." ”

"Who is it?" A housekeeper asked.

"Lord Yama, don't ask, let's go." The crowd struck the oars, turned the bow of the boat, and went ashore.

Song Nan and Li Daniu didn't see this scene, he was busy explaining to his mother and a few surprised women on the Yunxiao Pavilion flower boat, several women were extremely unwelcome to these two uninvited guests, and shouted for Song Nan to leave, and thought that another admirer of Yunyan girl had broken in privately, and asked Song Nan and others to leave quickly, otherwise they would call someone to drive them away or report to Yunyun.

Just when they were entangled, a little maid in Tsing Yi came out and said, "Miss Yunyan said, let them stay on the boat, these two are acquaintances of Miss Yunyan." ”

Mother and several other women were surprised, but since Miss Yunyan spoke, it was naturally regarded as a holy decree, so she pointed to a corner at the stern of the boat and said: "Go and stay there, don't run around, today is the big day of our Cloud Pavilion, whether Miss Yun Yan can win the Oiran is related to the livelihood of our Cloud Pavilion people; If you really like Miss Yunyan, don't come out and bother. ”

Song Nan arched his hand and said, "Okay, good, it must be." ”

After saying that, he obediently followed Li Da Niu to the stern of the boat and sat on the deck without moving, the mother rolled her eyes, and led people into the warehouse to work and prepare, and at this moment, the first flower boat had already appeared.

Under the brilliant lights, the first person to appear was Gu Lianlian of Qiuyue Tower, this woman was the favorite to win the championship, everyone's attention was attracted at once, and they had no time to take care of Song Nan and Li Daniu for the time being.
