In other words, the chaos of war in the south does not seem to be reflected much on the shore of Xiaojing Lake.

The February 18th Huanhua Festival is still held as scheduled, and many stages, tea shops and stalls have already been set up on the shore of Xiaojing Lake, plus some original wine shops, manors and inns, and the liveliness at this time is no less than that in Xuanfu City.

There are also many painting boats and embroidery boats on Xiaojing Lake, all of which are full of lights, with red clothes and green sleeves on them, and the servant Chu Nu Tingting is curling, which is really beautiful.

There is a zigzag covered bridge on the north shore of Xiaojing Lake, and the area around this covered bridge is the most lively place today, because all the servants and women who want to compete for the name of the five major oiran and various flower numbers have to walk on this covered bridge one by one, which is equivalent to an appearance.

Many of the servants and women cultivated by the Qinglou Chu Pavilion generally do not come out to pick up guests before participating in the Huanhua Festival, so in addition to occasionally contacting the children of high-ranking officials and literati some time ago, this day is the most important appearance of all beauties on the Jinghu Covered Bridge, and some of them seem to be catwalks.

Because there are many Chu girls who participate in the appearance, and each Chu girl will have turtles, maids and even sisters from various Qinglou before and after the appearance, in the grandstand pavilion near the covered bridge to promote their own Chu girls, so there is almost no program on this day, just to let everyone see the beautiful appearance of the Chu girls.

As for Liu Yilin and Mu Lian, as the Oiran of Qunfang Pavilion, they naturally have to walk on this covered bridge, although Liu Yilin can almost be regarded as Zhao Yingqi's person at this time, but after all, they still belong to Qunfang Pavilion, and the big deal is that there is no need to publicize Liu Yilin's affairs.

After all, with Zhao Yingqi, an upstart in Eastern Wu, present, Liu Yilin's name as an oiran can almost be said to be nine out of ten, and the painting boat of the Eight Great Qinglou will have to make a living on this small mirror lake and the Lanjiang River in the future, and the big man of the Wu State Navy must not be offended.

Zhao Yingqi came to Xiaojing Lake early this day, accompanied by Zhao Tong and Zuo Jin, Chen Xun, the eldest son of Vice Minister Chen Tao, had already sent a post to Zhao Yingqi to prepare to travel to the Huanhua Club, but was rejected by Zhao Yingqi.

Chen Xun is mainly in charge of Chen's firm in the Chen family, these days because of the many cooperation of pattern steel, Chen Xun and Zhao Yingqi have also met a few times, and at the same time Zuo Jin has also dealt with a lot, and Chen Wu is different, this Chen Xun behaves and treats people very politely, and has a basis for advancing and retreating.

Zhao Yingqi also has a good impression of this Chen Xun, although Zuo Jin has had some small disagreements with Chen Wu before, but he is very compatible with Chen Xun.

There are a lot of very elegant sheds by Xiaojing Lake, as well as some small pavilions that originally existed, at this time the banquet has been set up, and generally according to the post invited by the Eight Qinglou, generally speaking, the post under the Bada Qinglou has a particular attention, according to the status, officials and other comprehensive considerations, the Huanhua will bloom at its grandest time, and even invite the emperor of Dongwu to come and watch.

Therefore, the large pavilion opposite the covered bridge has become the emperor's seat since then, and it is vacant all the year round, even if there are princes, princes and the like who participate, they are only in that pavilion to do a side seat, and the main seat is reserved for the emperor.

Today is no different, Zhao Yingqi thinks about it, now the situation in the world is treacherous, and the war in the south is tense, Zheng Guo's first war will be directly related to the foreign policy of South Vietnam and the response of other countries, I am afraid that the emperor will not appear in this place.

This is also just right, because of the tense situation in the south, the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee basically do not have the leisure to come here to join in the fun, and even some officials of the Qing and noble yamen will not come, after all, it is still necessary to pay attention to the upward and downward effects. This is just cheap Zhao Yingqi, Zhao Yingqi and Zhao Tong, two top armor masters, and Prime Minister Wang Hezhi is recommended as an official, and the real power of the general who started with the three products is really predictable.

Therefore, the highest status on the scene is Zhao Yingqi, of course, he stopped sitting in the first pavilion on the left side of the big pavilion opposite the covered bridge, eating some small fruit plates, drinking small fragrant tea, and then there were all kinds of old mothers in Qinglou who brought their little girls to Zhao Yingqi to offer tea and show their faces, smiling and flattering.

Zhao Yingqi is very useful, and Zuo Jin next to him is also very spirited, and occasionally he is not honest in his hands on other people's old mothers, in fact, they are all old mothers, in fact, they are just beautiful women in their thirties.

Of course, Zhao Yingqi couldn't pull off that face to make such a pig look, and Zhao Tong also squinted at Zuo Jin and rolled his eyes again and again.

The hour before the official start really opened Zhao Yingqi's eyes, he has been in this world for so long, he has seen the most beauties today, and the Northern Zhou singers and dancers he has seen at the banquet in the Northern Zhou Palace are three points worse than what he has seen today.

There are already five of the eight Qinglou who have met Zhao Yingqi here, the first to come is the Concubine Yi Palace, it is said that the Chu girls here are all girls with a good family background, and many declining eunuch families in the world, guilty dignitaries and nobles even have the deposed royal family, so that many men are eager to flock to it.

As for the girl of Chunguang Pavilion, it is really a pair of beautiful colors, and the pair of sisters named Miao Chang and Miao Deng don't know where to find Chunguang Pavilion. Even Zhao Tong couldn't help but glance at the sisters twice, and rarely praised "These two people are really beautiful in pairs."

is no different from the rumors, this world-famous female general with superb martial arts is really just a maid of Zhao Yingqi, and the female general who has been only taking care of Zhao Yingqi since she took her seat actually praised two sentences at this time, and the beautiful young woman and old mother of Chunguang Pavilion trembled back and forth with joy, which was really "trembling". It's nothing, but the pair of sisters, who heard Zhao Tong's praise and happiness, began to swing, but because of their identity, the two sisters didn't dare to come over and get close to Zhao Tong.

Zhao Yingqi looked at the two beautiful sisters who looked almost identical, leaned together excitedly, looked at Zhao Tong excitedly, and quipped: "I didn't expect Xiaotong to be so famous among women, and they have become idols." ”

Zhao Tong glanced at Zhao Yingqi embarrassedly, and then turned his head to look at the two sisters, who seemed to really like it. Zhao Yingqi asked: "These two sisters are indeed beautiful and incredible, or I will buy them for you and serve you every day." ”

"Ouch, that's really a blessing for the two of them, being able to serve the female god of war, Miss Zhao, I really don't know if it's a blessing that comes from being cultivated in time." The beautiful woman hurried to Zhao Tong's side, and a beauty fan kept fanning Zhao Tong and Zhao Yingqi. But maybe he blocked Zhao Tong's gaze at the two sisters, or he didn't like the rich fragrance of the beautiful woman, Zhao Tong pushed the beautiful woman to the side without a trace.

"Xiaotong doesn't need it, Xiaotong is originally Mr.'s maid, why do you need them to take care of it." Although Zhao Tong said this, his eyes did not leave the two sisters, and his eyes kept wandering between the two.

Zuo Jin looked at Zhao Tong from the side, naturally felt that Zhao Tong liked it very much, and knew that he was a little displeased with Zhao Tong, so he decided to wait for the end of the Huanhua Festival to buy the two sisters from Chunguang Pavilion and give them to Zhao Yingqi. Thinking of this, Zuo Jin looked at the painting boat of the Chunguang Pavilion, wrote it down, and quietly explained a few words to the subordinates of the Double Flag Gang behind him.

In the end, before the beautiful woman of Chunguang Pavilion left with the two sisters, the younger sister who seemed to be a little bold and shouted a wonderful Deng, hurriedly walked to Zhao Tong's side, helped Zhao Tong pour a cup of tea and served it, and then said timidly: "My sister is really beautiful, and she has earned a lot of breath for us women, and my sister admires my sister very much." After saying that, he ran two steps and pounced on his sister Miaochang, and the excited laughter of the two sisters came, causing many people around to laugh. There are also many people who look at Zhao Yingqi's side, and some knowledgeable people look at Zhao Yingqi, thinking about how to make friends, and those who are confused or the family members of the maids look at Zhao Tong.

Zhao Yingqi didn't take it seriously, since he followed Zhao Tong by his side, he was used to this kind of high-profile thing.

After that, there are also the Lingren Garden, Ningxiang Pavilion and the like came to visit and offer tea, and they are also beautiful women like clouds, each with its own characteristics.

The baby-faced cute little beauty in the Ning Xiang Pavilion made Zhao Yingqi discover that no matter what world it is in, men are really like this, and that kind of lolita control is indispensable, and everyone who understands it understands.

But just now, an Oiran from the ladies came to present a painting, in which a woman in black clothes and long hair rushed to the army with a gun and rode alone to fight a bloody battle, and there was a poem inscribed on it:

A little red lips and a gun, dyeing red makeup for the king's service.

A horse and a lady, born into the frontier.

Suppress the enemy of thousands of armies, and do not let Xu Mei be glorious.

The heroes of the world are not strong, just for Mr. to drink Chunfang.

The inscription is "Women Heroes", Cheng Yining heard the battle of the inner road of spring, and dared to change Mr. Verses to dedicate it.

This painting depicts Zhao Tong riding alone in the spring road, the poem is also Guan Zhengnong circulated and then added the back half of the que, in general, it is very attentive, it can be seen that Zhao Tong also likes it, and said thank you to the talented woman of Cheng Yining, and got up to accept the scroll after getting Zhao Yingqi's signal.

Zhao Yingqi praised Cheng Yining: "The painting is really good, and the poem is also good, but it is not consistent with the actual situation, my Xiaotong rushed to the front of the Zhou army, but there was no bloody battle, and few people dared to fight against my Xiaotong at all, and in the end Li Yuanbai and Xiaotong fought to a draw." ”

"Mr. has won the award, it is true that the slave family did not expect Miss Tong to be so majestic." Cheng Yining smiled very quietly, and his answer was also very temperamental, and then turned to Zhao Tong with a salute: "It's the slave family's problem, and the prestige of Miss Tong has stopped, and the slave family must quickly change this painting again." ”

"No, Miss Cheng's painting is very good, there is no need to change it, and at that time, the soldiers of the Zhou Army were not afraid of me, an unknown little woman, but they were afraid of my husband, but they had nothing to do with me." Zhao Tong replied with a smile, and by the way, she also gave a small slap to her husband.

It's not too early, the appearance on the covered bridge is about to begin, and the people of Lingrenfang are sent away, and the other three families of Qunfang Pavilion, Zhu Cuiyuan and Dan Aya Xiaozhu are estimated to be short of time and did not come to see the ceremony, but they just sent someone to send their own Oiran Fang sticker, which contains some information and introduction of their own Oiran.

However, Liu Yilin knew that Zhao Yingqi and Zhao Tong were masters of the first armor, and they had a lot of food, and knew that some of the melons, fruits and small dishes in this small pavilion were not enough for the two of them to eat, so she specially sent a few little girls from their Qunfang Pavilion to send over a few food boxes, which were full of hard dishes such as fish and meat, as well as Zhao Tong's daughter who was very fond of drunk.

After dealing with a lot of people who came to make friends and greet each other, the sound of silk and bamboo finally sounded on the covered bridge, and the Huanhua Festival officially began.
