Chapter 357: The Few
Whenever there is a successful redemption, the entire Qinglou will celebrate for a few days, which is a great joy.
However, hearing that the man wanted to redeem the willow warbler, the warblers and Yanyan only had sympathy.
Bring the lady of the family to redeem the girl in the Qinglou? The consequences can be imagined.
Reality is not a fairy tale, not all the girls who have been ransomed back can live a happy life, because of their low background, it is impossible for the media to marry back, and they are all taken back from the back door as concubines.
After getting tired of playing, he died alone in the compound. There are even more excessive, and after getting tired of playing, they will be sold, and their fate is much more tragic than in the Qinglou.
The only difference is that before the redemption, many people were put in different poses in the Qinglou, and after the redemption, they were put in different poses by the same person in the mansion, and that's it.
Of course, there is an even more terrible situation, ransomed by the hostess, which is rare, but there are also.
A few years ago, there was a woman who ransomed him, and I heard that he was killed within two months, covered in bruises, and terrified.
Therefore, when Yingying Yanyan heard that the couple wanted to redeem Liu Yingying, they were so scared, and they subconsciously retreated further.
The old bustard smiled awkwardly and refused: "Thank you for your love, but Liu Yingying is my favorite child, she is still young, and I am reluctant to let her leave me." He bowed to the woman as he spoke.
"Madame's life is really good, she is married to a good husband, and if she falls in love with this girl, your lord wants to buy it for you and serve by your side.
Why don't you take a look at the other girls in our building, all the massage skills are very powerful. ”
Just kidding, Liu Yingying is a big hit with Oiran this time, and it can bring unpredictable benefits to Mingyue Tower, and it is impossible for the bustard to sell her.
"That's a shame."
The husband and wife looked at each other, shook their heads, and didn't say anything.
Li Xingchen felt weird, so he didn't fight for it anymore? The bustard said that if they don't sell it, they won't buy it? There seems to be a conspiracy hidden inside.
Not only him, but Dugu Ling also felt so.
"Do you want to send someone to inquire about the situation?"
Li Xingchen shook his head, even if there is a conspiracy, it is a private conspiracy, or Mingyuelou himself is doing something.
He is the king of a nation. How could someone be sent to investigate civil grievances?
"Then old lady, ladies and gentlemen, please move to the tent, and we will start immediately."
The old bustard led the way in front as he spoke, and if he wanted to send people over, he would withdraw, so as not to regret the two couples.
After about half a column of incense, I heard a cheerful drum beat outside.
The huge flower boat slowly sailed from afar, stopping not far from Li Xingchen and the others.
The drumming stopped, and the Oiran Contest began.
A scantily clad woman was the first to board the flower boat.
The woman bowed, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of flattery. When he saluted, he also played a little cautiously, deliberately enlarged the amplitude, the neckline drooped, and the spring light in it stayed in everyone's sight for three seconds before getting up.
Everyone immediately boiled, "Cuicui, Cuicui, come on, Cuicui!" ”
"I'm optimistic about you, Cuicui, just like I am optimistic about your two big white steamed buns."
There was a howl on the shore.
There are people who know Cuicui, but more of them are joining in the fun.
What's wrong with seeing the big white steamed buns, Cuicui herself doesn't look so good-looking, but she has a figure, convex and backward, turn off the lights, and play the same.
In fact, Cuicui is middle-to-top, but she is much inferior to the willow warbler, which will make the people think that this person is not good-looking, and in fact, she is also one of the hottest candidates for the Oiran this year. But with good luck, the draw was drawn for the first one.
Dugu Ling drank tea while drinking. While watching with relish.
Zhang Si said with a smile: "The first one to come to the stage is called the opening." The audience is very excited, and it is also the easiest time to spend money to buy flowers and rewards.
After a few rounds, when the performances are similar, the audience's eyes will be tired, and they will not buy bouquets. ”
"Isn't the girl at the back of the line bound to lose?" Dugu Ling asked.
Li Xingchen put down the teacup, "Lady, there is a strategy for doing business, you don't understand." In fact, the girl at the bottom of the line was luckier.
Because at the end, the number of flowers is clear at a glance, and those who can participate in the Oiran Contest are all selected, and they must have their own supporters.
When supporters see that the girl they like hasn't spent yet, they roughly estimate the number of flowers they get ahead of them, and then spend money to catch up. ”
"The one who drew to the middle is very unlucky?"
Zhang Si grinned and nodded, "Yes, but there are several rounds of the Oiran Competition, and according to the previous routine, today is the first round, and half of the people will be screened to participate in tomorrow's competition."
The specific depends on the strength, the strength is strong enough, even if you draw in the middle, you can be elected.
In the face of strength, all head-scratching postures are vulnerable. ”
"I see." Dugu Ling suddenly realized, "I don't know how many Liu Yingying drawn." ”
Li Xingchen smiled and said nothing, he was also waiting for Liu Yingying, what could he perform? Don't disappoint.
A few drums sounded again on the rowing boat, and after Cuicui's large set of speeches and declarations were over, she raised her hand and clapped twice, and suddenly several veiled girls came up, each holding a musical instrument, playing and singing, everything.
"Zhang Si, why are they wearing veils? Did you know this? Dugu Ling asked.
Zhang Si raised his arrogant head, when he was still at the bottom, he didn't know much about this kind of place, and no one knew better than him.
"Madam, because they are in charge of playing, the protagonist is a competitor, and they can't steal the limelight from the protagonist, so they have to cover their faces."
Dugu Ling suddenly realized again that there was so much to say in a small matter.
Thinking about it, he didn't forget to snatch a piece of pastry from the plate that Li Xingchen was carrying.
Li Xingchen smiled, "You have so much, why did you rob me?" ”
While watching the performance, eating pastries, I was happy, and Dugu Ling came to grab it.
Dugu Ling raised his eyebrows, "Naturally, it is the best to grab." ”
With a smile on his face, he reached for the plate again.
Li Xingchen looked at her helplessly, let her go, there was still a baby in her belly, no matter what she did, she had to accommodate her and love her.
Dugu Ling also relied on this to grab food on his plate, wanting to tease him.
On the stage, near the end of Cuicui's performance, a group of officials came out, carrying flower baskets and wooden barrels, and a label was attached to the wall of the barrel, on which Cuicui's name was written.
This barrel is specially made, only there is a narrow opening on the side, which can be put in the money but cannot be taken out, and when the wooden barrel is carried back, it will be opened from the bottom by a special person, and then the number will be calculated, so as not to be tampered with in the middle of the way.
If you like Cuicui and want to support her, you can throw money into the bucket at this time, and the yacha with the flower basket will give the corresponding flowers.
After the audience gets the flowers, they can be kept as souvenirs or given to their favorite girls.
