Section 25 Ruthlessness is better than affection and suffering (3)
Qi Yang sighed deeply, harboring his guilt, Ling'er took this hosta to the rivers and lakes, and it would definitely cause a lot of trouble. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention that this hosta is the key to the treasure, just looking at this material, this workmanship, can attract many people like Qin Liu. And the countermeasures he thought of at this time could only temporarily resolve the current crisis.
Qi Yang thought to himself: "Now I can only take one step at a time." Suddenly, he remembered the Jade Xiao Gongzi again, and remembered that the Jade Xiao Gongzi wanted to find someone destined through the Jade Spirit Jade. He said to himself: "If Brother Yu Xiao learns that the Xuanbing White Jade is in the hands of Miss Gan, he will definitely be very happy." After saying that, his heart was sour.

Today is the sixth day of the seventh month, because of the Qixi Festival, the capital has canceled the three-night night ban from tonight, allowing people to go to the streets at night to enjoy the lanterns and night tours.
And the most eye-catching Oiran conference in the capital will also kick off tonight. Each Qinglou can select the three most outstanding women in the building to perform on stage, and select the first Oiran in the capital and the annual top brand of each Qinglou. At the conference, benefactors who had paid the bond were allowed to make bids to redeem the women who participated in the selection.
The Oiran Conference was held on Zujia Street, and the venue was built in the open space between Chunfeng Building and Yihong Courtyard.
The time was approaching, and the venue was already crowded. Ling'er squeezed into the crowd with Du Qingshan.
In the center of the venue is a large platform, on each side of the platform stands a row of young women, dressed in colorful light yarn, heavy makeup, facing the men in the audience eyebrows. In front of the platform, there is a row of Taishi chairs, there are seventeen or eighteen. At this time, most of the Taishi chairs were empty, and people crowded around the outer circle to stop and watch.
Du Qingshan pulled Ling'er into the Taishi chair in the front row.
Only then did Ling'er know that these seats were only available to guests who had paid the deposit. These guests will have the opportunity to bid for the redemption of their favorite woman after the Oiran Talent Contest is over, but only with the consent of the woman.
Ling'er also knew from Du Qingshan's mouth that last year's No. 1 Oiran was Xian'er, but Xian'er refused the highest bidder to redeem her. Ling'er glanced at Du Qingshan worriedly, looking at the fairy girl's intentions, I'm afraid that someone will be disappointed again tonight.
As the unitary hour approached, people began to take their seats in the front row. Ling'er's sharp eyes immediately spotted Qi Yang who was sitting on the edge seat.
"Why is he here too?" Ling'er muttered to herself.
Du Qingshan followed Ling'er's line of sight and replied without thinking: "Of course he will come, he is the master of Xunfang Mansion and the organizer of the Oiran Conference." ”
"What did you say?" Ling'er was taken aback when she heard this.
Only then did Du Qingshan react and say that he had leaked his mouth. Although he felt that there was nothing to keep secret, Qin Liu had explained before that he couldn't tell the relationship between Qi Yang and Xun Fanglou.
"It turns out that Qi Yang is not a prostitute. Ling'er thought to herself, her heavy mood in the past few days has inexplicably relaxed, and the corners of her mouth have unconsciously risen slightly.
Du Qingshan didn't notice Ling'er's abnormality, because at this time, it was already unitary time, and a half-old slowly walked out of the backstage and announced the official start of the Oiran Conference.
"This is the first bustard in the capital - Mother Zhao. Du Qingshan excitedly applauded and introduced to Ling'er.
In the warm applause of everyone, a beautiful woman dressed up in fancy clothes walked to the front of the stage with light steps under the introduction of Na Zhao's mother.
The audience applauded and cheered one after another, and the women on the stage used all their skills to cater to them, and contacted the benefactors in the audience. But there was also a woman who stood there with a faint smile all the time.
This woman is Xian'er. The faint smile dissolves a little of the cold arrogance of this ice and snow beauty, and adds to her charming charm. A beautiful woman like a fairy, although she has not yet started the talent competition, she is already a well-deserved first Oiran in Ling'er's heart.
Xian'er's eyes swept over everyone, and she stopped slightly in a certain direction without a trace, affectionately. Ling'er turned her head to look, and unexpectedly that direction was where Qi Yang was.
As for Qi Yang, he didn't pay attention to the every move of the girls on the stage excitedly like everyone else, but folded his hands around his chest, leaned on the seat at will, lowered his head slightly, stared at a certain place on the ground, and his eyes were a little scattered.
"He's in a daze!" Ling'er was surprised at what she found. There are many beautiful women on the stage, and he is in a daze!
And the fairy on the stage didn't seem to mind at all, and threw affectionate glances at Qi Yang from time to time. This made Ling'er can't help but feel worthless for Xian'er.
After a while, the talent competition began, and since Xian'er was the first Oiran of the previous session, she was the first to appear.
Xian'er sat in the middle of the stage with the pipa in her arms, and two maids on the side played the piano for her.
She slowly plucked the strings and sang softly: "Dancing like a frightening Hong, graceful like a swimming dragon; It seems to be like a light cloud covering the moon, and it is shaky, like the snow of the wind. Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising to the morning glow, and when you are forced to observe it, it is like a green wave of hibiscus. ”
Her voice was like a heavenly sound, slowly flowing through the crowd, causing ripples everywhere she passed.
Just when everyone was immersed in her beautiful voice, she put down the lute, stepped on the beat, and danced. She turned around lightly, waving her long sleeves, outlining a psychedelic arc, that smile and cheek, slow and urgent, static and moving, touched the hearts of everyone present, even Ling'er, who was good at singing and dancing, sighed to herself.
After the song, Xian'er finished saluting everyone, and walked to the backstage with lotus steps, but there was no applause from the audience for a long time. Everyone seemed to be still immersed in the graceful dance of Xian'er. Later, I don't know who shouted "Okay!" woke everyone up, and the belated applause rang out enthusiastically.
After watching Xian'er's wonderful performance, people felt bored with the talent show behind. This time, the title of the first Oiran fell to Xian'er without any suspense.
After the selection of the first Oiran and the top brands of each green building, it was time for Du Qingshan to be the most excited.
Although Xian'er's talent is unmatched, her cold and arrogant temperament on weekdays still discourages some benefactors, and there are only two guests who want to redeem her, and Du Qingshan is one of them.
In the end, Du Qingshan got the opportunity to redeem Xian'er at an extremely high price of 1,500 taels.
"Great!" After Du Qingshan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Ling'er, his mood was low again, and he said worriedly, "I hope Xian'er is willing." ”
At this time, Zhao's mother on the stage said: "Miss Xian'er is willing to accept this son to redeem her." ”
"What! she agreed!" Du Qingshan stood up excitedly, his joy indescribable.
Mother Zhao continued: "Please ask this son to go to the back room for a while. Tomorrow, the first Oiran fairy will take her destined people to visit the West Lake at night. ”
Du Qingshan hurriedly got up and walked to the back wing.
While Ling'er was happy for Du Qingshan, she also felt a little incredible, Xian'er's attitude was so resolute that day. However, Ling'er didn't think about these incomprehensible things anymore, she looked in the direction of Qi Yang, and sure enough, there was no trace of that person.
