Chapter 356: Salutation
"At the end of the day, whoever is the candidate with the most flowers is the Oiran.
And these flowers are prepared by the government, and they are bought during the election campaign, and private individuals are not allowed to bring flowers, and a flower can buy one or two silver. ”
Li Xingchen frowned, "Is it Jinhua?" So expensive? ”
Zhao Si shook his head, "It's just an ordinary wildflower outside, otherwise how can the government make money, why bother to mobilize the people."
This is still the price many years ago, and now the villain doesn't know, the market may have risen in price, or it may be cheaper.
Every year, in the Oiran Contest, the government can earn at least a few thousand taels.
If you meet a wealthy family, then the money is not easy to say, tens of thousands of taels, hundreds of thousands of taels is not impossible. ”
Dugu Ling gasped, "Tens of thousands of taels? Hundreds of thousands of taels? You can't spend it in a lifetime, right? ”
Li Xingchen smiled, "It depends on how to use it, some losers can use it up alone, and some are thrifty, and a family of ten or twenty people can't use it up." ”
After paying the money, a handyman came to lead the way and led the way to the flat open space by the river.
The open space is close to the water's edge, and more than ten meters in front of it is the flower boat that holds the competition.
Mingyuelou was very interested in this year's Oiran competition, so he rented this area with a lot of money.
A tent was also set up behind the open space for the girl to rest and change her clothes.
At this moment, a man dressed as a boy got out of the carriage, and the bustard led a group of women out of the tent.
"Oh, Young Master Jin, you're here." When the bustard saw the young man, the heavy foundation was cracked with laughter, and he was very enthusiastic.
"Young Master Jin, the girls think so much, why did you come?"
There was no need for the bustard to command, the girls all shook Miaoman's posture and moved up to the young master.
Fortunately, they knew that this was not Mingyue Tower, not their territory, so they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, they just surrounded the young master and simply flirted coquettishly.
Li Xingchen looked at it from afar, the girls were water spirits, they were doing this kind of business, and it was impossible to bring them back to the capital to accept them as concubines.
As for the final elected Oiran, we can have an in-depth exchange.
You must know that Dugu Ling is pregnant now, and many things are difficult to communicate. Li Xingchen was in the back of the day, and his blood was strong, and he couldn't hold it all the time.
Following his gaze, Dugu Ling smiled and teased, "Husband also wants to be surrounded by a bunch of women?" Why don't I get you a few tonight?" ”
When Li Xingchen heard this, he glanced at Dugu Ling with a weak heart, and it was just an ordinary woman, so he had to find a woman in the Qinglou for him?
Well, he did think about it just now.
But the Qinglou woman can't say anything after all.
At this time, a luxury carriage came from behind, and when it stopped, a middle-aged woman lifted the curtain of the door and locked on to a woman standing next to the bustard.
Li Xingchen obviously saw that the woman's body was normal, and he was immediately surprised, guessing which lady came to catch her husband stealing it.
The next moment, the woman walked over and asked the official who maintained order, "Official, are these the girls from Mingyue Tower?" May I ask which one is the famous willow warbler girl? ”
The overall atmosphere of the Great Wei was patriarchal, and it was only slightly better after the establishment of the Women's Army, but the situation of male superiority and female inferiority was still serious.
However, there are exceptions to everything, and some families have strong women and weak men. For example, a few years ago, a wealthy businessman married the daughter of a county official, and he was very strong because of his family's great power.
In addition, the status of businessmen at that time was still very low, which caused the rich businessman to live a miserable life, and when he was secretly visiting the Qinglou, he was discovered by his wife, and rushed into the Qinglou with the yacha, and beat the two women who accompanied him to death.
So when the warblers and swallows saw a woman getting out of the carriage, they subconsciously fell backwards, not wanting to cause trouble.
Hearing her ask Liu Yingying, even the old bustard was terrified.
After many years of mixing in the Qinglou, the old bustard not only has a good wrist, but also has a first-class vision to see people.
The woman was wearing clothes, her temperament was obviously not an ordinary person, and the old bustard made a judgment, the noble lady in front of her, Mingyuelou could not afford to offend.
Just as the bustard was trying to get through this crisis, a man of about fifty years old came out of the carriage.
"Husband, what's going on? Are you looking for trouble? Dugu Ling asked softly.
If the other party's lady is here to warn the girl in the Qinglou, or even start a fight, should she help?
Li Xingchen raised his hand and flicked her head, "Don't think about it so much, you won't be looking for trouble." There is no anger in the woman. ”
Dugu Ling was silent, and looked back to the other end.
The man who got out of the carriage said, "This is my lady." ”
When the old bustard heard this, his heart was raised to his throat, and he really came to find trouble, and quickly gave Yingying Yanyan a look.
The warblers, the swallows, and the swallows quietly took a few steps back.
Growing up in the Qinglou since he was sensible, and having been in the Qinglou for decades, the old bustard knows too well about men and women.
He came over with his husband and wife, and things were not simple, and they could be as far away as they could.
The man pointed to the willow warbler, a softness flashed in his eyes, and he asked uncertainly, "This is the willow warbler girl?" ”
Liu Yingying stepped forward and bowed slightly, saluting the two of them.
"Sir, ma'am!"
The woman looked at it, turned her head away, and closed her eyes. Others thought she was putting on a face for Liu Yingying, but in fact she was holding back tears.
Li Xingchen's eyes lit up, she is a well-informed and well-informed water spirit beauty! Compared with the warbler next to her, Yanyan not only stands out in appearance, but also is not afraid of power to salute. This Oiran must be her.
Dugu Ling found Li Xingchen's strange appearance, "Could it be that Xianggong is tempted by that girl?" Pretty is beautiful, if it's an innocent body, it's better to redeem her and bring her back to the capital. ”
If the body is not clean, the husband really likes it, and it will be enough to have a few spring suppers.
Li Xingchen was stunned for a moment, it didn't seem to be impossible.
"Let's talk about it." Li Xingchen said casually.
On the other side, the man kept looking at Liu Yingying, and said after a while: "My husband and wife came here to redeem Liu Yingying, I wonder if my mother is willing to cut her love?" ”
He wants to redeem Liu Yingying? The eyes of the warblers and swallows were round.
Qinglou woman, what a tragic fate.
Everyone wants to wait for a good relationship, and they don't care about their identity.
Whether it is a down-and-out scholar or a rich family, as long as they are sincere to them, they will follow without hesitation.
After all, you can't be famous in Mingyue Pavilion, even if you can be an Oiran, you won't be able to be beautiful for a few years, and then you have to pick up customers according to the rules.
In the end, people are old and decrepit, and they can't even take customers, so they have to do chores.
Now among the old women who sweep the floor and wash the dishes in Mingyue Tower, there are a few of them who were famous in the past, and in the end it is not a hard end...
Therefore, almost all the girls in Qinglou are looking forward to someone to save themselves, waiting for the hero to step on the colorful clouds to redeem themselves and go back to live a good life.
