Chapter 263: Oiran Contest

"They always want to have one more literary leader. Su Buqing also said with a smile.

"You mean, those guys are still holding a grudge against me and getting Fang Liangping to Nanjing?" Zhu Jianji also laughed.

"This is a rare cultivation of the Speech Officer and the Archon. Su Buqing also said with a smile.

"Otherwise, I can let Fang Liangping go to Nanjing? If I really get a prime minister, will I kill or not?" Zhu Jianji also said with a smile, "I remember that those guys went to kneel again, if Fang Xiao hadn't come forward, I'm afraid I would have had some trouble." ”

"After all, it was still a few first assistants who were sensible and didn't make trouble. Su Buqing also said with a smile.

Those old fellows complained of illness en masse, saying that they had eaten a meal together, but the food was not clean, and then they missed work for a month. Zhu Jianji also shook his head amusefully while thinking about the things of the year.

"I didn't expect those adults to have such a playful side. Su Buqing also said with a smile.

"You see them playful, but you don't see how badly I was played by them during that time. Zhu Jianji also said in a cold voice.

"The emperor has always been exhausted, and the ministers are used to it. Su Buqing also lowered his head and said.

"You are also getting older and more sleek, what about Su Buqing who dared to slap the table with me back then?" Zhu Jianji also asked with a smile.

"That's because Weichen is not afraid of death, and now there is a family. Su Buqing also knew that the emperor was in a good mood now, and he also made a joke.

"You, yes. I'm getting old with you. This Fang Xiao is here, you can also determine the marriage date, I was this guarantor back then, and now it is enough to be a witness. Zhu Jianji also said with a smile.

The emperor deigned, and Weichen was flattered. Su Buqing also said with a smile.

"Then it's decided, after Fang Xiao's kid comes, bring him over to me to have a look. Zhu Jianji also said to Su Buqing.

"Yes, Wechen understands. Su Buqing also knelt down and walked out of the Wuying Hall with Zhu Jianji's waving hand. And Zhu Jianji also looked at the empty Wuying Palace, and silently closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

There was nothing to say all night, and when it was dawn the next day, Fang Xiao simply finished eating the meal, and stayed in his room waiting for Mu Liu and them to arrive, because on a day like the Lantern Festival, Xu Xiang and Mu Liu would always make the two guys Xu Xiang and Mu Liu a little moved. Sure enough, after a while, Xu Xiang and Mu Liu also came to Fang Xiao. "Don't laugh, let's talk about it, what are you doing here?" Fang Xiao also deliberately said with a cold face.

"What can I do, I'm just a hobby. Come Fang Xiao, let's go out for a walk. Xu Xiang also said with a smile.

"You were also taken by him?" Fang Xiao also said after glancing at Mu Liu.

"Isn't this to let yourself not be too tense, besides, the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Zhao family have temporarily truce, how can we fall behind?" Mu Liu also said with a chuckle.

"Do you want me to use it as a talisman for you?" Fang Xiao also said after glancing at them. Seeing that Fang Xiao uncovered their purpose so easily, Xu Xiang also said with some unbearable faces: "Don't talk about us like that, this is not the three brothers of everyone, naturally there are good things that can't be forgotten about you." ”

"Less, can this be a good thing?" Fang Xiao also said directly.

"That's not what Fang Xiao said, you can't stuff your house with it, and you don't bother to watch the Oiran Contest once. Mu Liu also spoke.

"Believe it or not, I killed you. Fang Xiao also said angrily, "You didn't stuff these in. ”

"Okay, you just say it to you, whether you want to go or not. Mu Liu also stopped Fang Xiao with his hand, otherwise he said after continuing to expose everyone's shortcomings.

"You can go, but promise me two conditions. Fang Xiao also said with a chuckle.

"Let's just say that the boy must have been thinking about how to calculate us for a long time. Mu Liu also pointed at Fang Xiao and said.

"Well, as long as we can do it. Xu Xiang also waved his hand and said.

"You must have a room. Fang Xiao also asked directly.

"This is not nonsense, can I, Mr. Xu, sit in a private seat with those people?" Xu Xiang also said angrily.

"Then it's part of the solution, first of all, please trouble Xu Gongzi to send the three women in my house there, of course, Chu Xiang will go to that place. Fang Xiao also spoke.

"You can toss here, but it's just a matter of a few carriages, anyway, even if it is known that Bi Yongxin is in your house, it won't be able to make any trouble, after all, this Bi Yongxin is dead, but Miss Yi is afraid that it is the most difficult to do. Xu Xiang also touched his chin and said.

"It's man-made, you have to go to the car first to get people over. Fang Xiao also spoke.

"Well, what about the second request?" Xu Xiang also nodded and said.

"This second request is inherited after the first request, that is, Mu Liu, you go and get Leng Yun for me. Fang Xiao also said to Mu Liu.

"Fang Xiao, are you crazy, get a Taoist priest to come over and watch the Oiran Competition?" Mu Liu also became popular all of a sudden, how could he tell Leng Yun about this matter?

"Because Yi Jinglan is Leng Yun's sister, I promised to let them meet. Fang Xiao also explained.

"What?" said the shepherds, who were a little blinded.

"Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed. Mu Liu also reacted and said slowly.

"Then there are the two brothers. Fang Xiao also smiled and said, "But Leng Yun doesn't know that Yi Jinglan has ever been a Qingqi person, you should understand what I mean." ”

"We know how important this is. After saying that, the two of them also went to make their own arrangements. And on the edge of the Qinhuai River, flags were also raised, and this Oiran Contest was said to be a night, but in fact, as early as the beginning of the day, it was already busy. Lu Jiyu also took Lu Lingruo to walk around the Qinhuai River early, and the two of them also walked along the riverbank after eating some breakfast, as if they were thinking about something. "Lingruo, you don't seem very happy. Lu Jiyu also asked with a chuckle.

"Brother, I'm afraid no woman will be happy if she is pulled out by her own brother to watch the Oiran Contest. Lu Lingruo also glanced at him and said slowly.

"Hahaha, how did I not think of this layer. Lu Jiyu also smiled presumptuously. In exchange, Lu Lingruo's deeper eyes were obtained.

"It's a pity. Lu Jiyu also sighed and said.

"What's the matter, brother?" Lu Lingruo also asked.

"It's a pity that this Yi Jinglan is still detained by Qi Siyao, otherwise I would really be watching the show today. Lu Jiyu also said leisurely.

"Qi Siyao, impossible!" Lu Lingruo also shook his head and said to Lu Jiyu, "I know Qi Siyao too well, this is not what she did. Since she told me that day that she would release Yi Jinglan before the Lantern Festival, then she must have already released it, because Qi Siyao would never offend our Lu family because of such an inconsequential matter. Secondly, she repromised, this is not like something that Qi Siyao can do. ”

"So Yi Jinglan betrayed me?" Lu Jiyu also narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

"Brother, are you so unconfident?" Lu Lingruo also said with a chuckle, "I'm afraid this Yi Jinglan doesn't have the courage to betray you." ”

"Wait. Lu Jiyu also smiled lightly and said, "I've thought about it." ”

"Why is this Yi Jinglan secret?" Lu Lingruo also asked with a smile.

"Even if it's a secret, it means that she didn't choose me in some of her choices. Lu Jiyu also said with a smile, "But I'm such a person who will repay me, sister, what do you think I should do?" "I'm too lazy to care about your business? As if I said you can listen?" After Lu Lingruo finished speaking, she also walked to the front by herself, ignoring Lu Jiyu who was calling her from behind.

"This girl. After Lu Jiyu finished speaking, he also glanced at the high platform that had been built, and there was also a solemnity in his heart, I don't know what he was worried about.

And at this moment, at the gate of Fangfu, the carriage that Xu Xiang found was also prepared. After arranging the master and servant of Chu Xiang in the first car and sending them away, Fang Xiao also let Fang Yongning and Yi Jinglan board another carriage, this carriage still has a lot of space, so Fang Xiao was also invited into the carriage by Fang Yongning and them, and Mu Liu was the life of the car. As for Xu Xiang, he had already realized everything clearly, and he came on horseback. The group was also speeding on the road, and they also arrived at the Qinhuai River in the morning. Because Fang Yongning and Yi Jinglan were wearing veils, they didn't make any other sensations. Xu Xiang led a group of people into the box early. Sure enough, this box is still very large, and this time the room is also deftly arranged with a table of eight immortals and four benches. But on the side are two pairs of Taishi chairs. Because of Fang Yongning and them, Xu Xiang did not stay in front of the little girl to serve. On the table of the Eight Immortals, there are also eight delicate small plates, all of which are dried fruits. On the coffee table next to it is a pot of tea and eight teacups. The five people also sat casually, and Xu Xiang also smiled and made tea for everyone.

Fang Xiao was also sitting on the bench by the window, and after glancing at it, he said to Mu Liu, "What about Leng Yun?" Hearing this, Yi Jinglan also looked at Mu Liu nervously. Mu Liu also smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, Leng Yun wants to practice morning exercises with Qingsong Dao Chang, and I will take him over after lunch." ”

"That's fine. Fang Xiao also nodded and said.

Yi Jinglan also took off her veil with satisfaction, and also smiled at Fang Xiao and Mu Liu. And Fang Yongning had already taken off the veil and was heading towards the platform in the distance.

"It's built so high, what is the picture? Fang Xiao also followed Fang Yongning's gaze and said. "Fang Xiao, you don't understand, this is a gesture, telling everyone that this Qingqi person can also be infinitely beautiful. Xu Xiang also sat on the Taishi chair and said with a smile.

"Xu Gongzi is wrong. Yi Jinglan was also beside Fang Yongning and said to Xu Xiang.

"What's wrong?" Xu Xiang also said unconsciously.

"Xu Gongzi is the most gorgeous funeral for the Qing people such as me, so even if he knows that this is a beautiful trap, he will jump into it desperately, because only in this way can there be a possibility of leaping into the dragon. Yi Jinglan also said leisurely.

"I've already jumped out of the cage, but I don't know it's going to come and see, it's really interesting. Fang Yongning also sighed.

"If you don't want to see it, I'll send you back. Fang Xiao also said to Fang Yongning.

"Brother, I'm fine, it's all over. Fang Yongning also turned around with a smile. Mu Liu, on the other hand, looked at Yi Jinglan and Fang Yongning and asked, "This Oiran Contest has an important impact, can't you be rated as the Four Flowers of Qin Huai like Miss Yi?"

"The shepherd doesn't understand, this is a different road, if the Qing people don't cross this road, then in the end it will be the fate of a boss marrying a merchant woman. And Qin Huai Oiran can become the second lady of those dignitaries. Yi Jinglan also said with a wry smile.

"I didn't expect this Bai Juyi's poem to make you feel so emotional. Fang Xiao also hurriedly pulled this topic away. And Mu Liu and Xu Xiang naturally didn't mention it again, and Fang Xiao was also teasing her next to Fang Yongning. It also made Fang Yongning finally forget these unpleasantness, and eat some snacks with a smile. While a group of people were chatting, a woman who also came up on the stage began to play the lute, as if singing some stories about the legend of the white snake. "These are also participating in the competition?" Fang Xiao also asked suspiciously.

"My brother is also stupid, even if he is a naughty boy with such ability, how can he participate in this Oiran Competition, you must know that the Oiran of this Oiran Competition is not a talented woman. Fang Yongning also said.

"Then who is this?" Fang Xiao also asked.

"These are either called to audition, or those old bustards come to push the new girls. Yi Jinglan also answered, "I also think that the possibility of this latter item is a little higher, because most of the musicians called, there is absolutely no problem with this hand, like this, they are all good-looking, and they are all girls who want to be newly promoted by the old bustard." ”

"Well, Sister Yi is right, brother, you see that these girls are not very old, so they should also be bustards, women who have been raised for a long time. But this woman's poor piano skills are also because of this woman's good looks, so she relaxed her discipline. ”

"I don't think it's the bustard who has relaxed his discipline. Fang Xiao also smiled and said, "It's just that this girl is quite bold." ”

"Ahh Fang Yongning also said after a pause, "Brother is saying that the girl did it on purpose, just to prevent herself from becoming famous?"

"That's a stupid girl, too. Yi Jinglan also sighed lightly and said.

"Yes, brother. Fang Yongning also said, "This is only famous, this old bustard will not dare to squeeze you, because she wants you to help her make money, but you have nothing and you are not kneaded by her." ”

"Fang Xiao, why don't you buy her?" Mu Liu also said with a smile.

"Buy it?" Fang Xiao also shook his head and said, "There are many people who have suffered these years, let's just say that there are as many women as her on the Qinhuai River, even if I am a god, I can't save them." Everyone has a life, let her go. ”

"There is some truth in what my brother said, but my sister still wants to pay attention to her. Fang Yongning also said with a wink.

"Muliu, you ask the people of the six doors to pay a little attention, but as long as the girl is not threatening, this bustard's beating and scolding does not need to interfere. Fang Xiao also said softly.

Hearing Fang Xiao say this, Mu Liu also rolled his eyes at him and walked out of the private room to make arrangements.

And Zhao Zhengfei was also sitting with Chi Lao in another box not far from Fang Xiao's box, that is, those officials in this kind of place did not dare to stretch out their hands, so they also let these martial arts families also take these boxes.

"That's it, it's not to say that you're distracted, how do you look at it, you're still indignant. Chi Lao also said with a smile. Zhao Qingke also laughed when he heard this, and said to Chi Lao: "Chi Lao, my brother, must have thought so in his heart: 'This Tianjian Sect must not dare to bet on whether they can be eaten by us. As long as Chi Lao works harder, we will be kicked out of the Sword Gate on this day. 'No, brother. ”

"Uh. Zhao Zhengfei was pierced by her sister all of a sudden, and she also lowered her head with some shame. Unexpectedly, Chi Lao said with a smile: "You are indeed miscalculated, I told you to keep your eyes away, you are too narrow." ”

"Too narrow?" Zhao Zhengfei also pondered for a few sentences and said, "Master, the apprentice understands." You mean, you're Six Doors don't want us to take over the Cao Gang at all?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't want it at all. Chi Lao also nodded at Zhao Zhengfei and said, "The idea of the six doors hopes that we will fight with the Cao Gang until there is nothing left, and then clamp down on the Lu family under their control." ”

"Well, I should have guessed that. Zhao Zhengfei also touched his head and said.

"Brother, this is normal, this Tianjian Gate is far away from the Emperor Tiangao, they can't eat it completely, and even if they really have to shift their focus over, we still rely on six doors behind us, although they won't fight with Tianjian Gate for us, but these six doors are the premise of our fox and fake tiger power." Zhao Qingke also said leisurely.

"Isn't it a lot better now? Chi Lao also said with a chuckle.

"The master doesn't have to laugh at the apprentice. Zhao Zhengfei also said with a wry smile.

"You boy, let's watch an Oiran fight. Chi Lao also said with a smile, "Qing girl, is there a difference between this Oiran dispute and you listening to Qin Huai's four flowers singing?"

"Chi Lao, you scold me again. Zhao Qingke was also stunned and said.

"You girl, I'll ask where the cold statement came from. Chi Lao also spoke.

"I don't care, I'm not allowed to say it anyway. Zhao Qingke also directly used the way of pouting, so that Chi Lao had to smile and look at the performance on this stage.

In the adjacent box, Lu Jiyu was also chatting with Lu Lingruo. "Brother, you men's taste is too bad, what kind of thing is this singing, and there are still people applauding?" Lu Lingruo also couldn't stand the men who applauded below.

"Because the woman is pretty good-looking. Lu Jiyu also said very bluntly.

"Then if my sister goes up, they won't have to kneel and beg me to take a look. Lu Jiyu was obviously a little dissatisfied with Lu Jiyu's explanation, and spoke.

Lu Jiyu also tried to swallow the sentence that was almost in his mouth, if you think it is okay, then you can try to swallow it. Because there is a chance that this sister can do this. So Lu Jiyu could only say with good words and comforted: "Those are all laymen, how can they see my sister, a woman who is like a mortal." I'm afraid that this time I will also be dead or alive. ”

"Count you to praise people. Lu Lingruo also nodded with satisfaction and sat down beside his brother. And the brother and sister were also chuckling at each other while pointing out the scene.

And a few people on Fang Xiao's side had also eaten the meals arranged by Xu Xiang, and in Mu Liu's words, they were much better than usual. And Xu Xiang's response is even simpler, you are not a girl. Then Leng Yun finally arrived near the Qinhuai River, and after getting the news from Xiao Yukuai, Mu Liu also went to pick him up in person. And Yi Jinglan is face was also a little dignified, obviously very nervous, and there were crystal sweat dripping down her face. Fang Xiao also held her hand and slowly patted it twice, signaling that she didn't need to be too nervous. Not long after, Leng Yun was put up by Mu Liu, and Leng Yun could still be heard complaining: "Mu Liu, what are you going to do, I am a cultivator." You can't be nostalgic for the land of fireworks. He Muliu's words in response: "What kind of cultivator are you, you are a reciter." Besides, you can't be nostalgic, are you so sure that you will be nostalgic? Then you must be insincere, since you are not sincere, you still learn the way of fart. ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Muliu, you have to be in awe of this way. Leng Yun is also fighting back against Mu Liu. He was then pushed into the room by the herd. "Call me, call me again. Mu Liu also looked at Leng Yun with a stunned face and said with a smile.

"Don't get me wrong, your sister is now my mother's maid in my house, and I also learned the news by accident and your sister wants to see you. I arranged it. Fang Xiao also smiled and said, "You won't blame me for choosing such a place." ”

"Brother Fang is too worried, although Leng Yun is in the Dao, he is not pedantic. Leng Yun also saluted Fang Xiao first, and then asked Yi Jinglan, "Sister, you are not in Wudang's industry, why did you come to this Fang Mansion again?" Fang Xiao also secretly said in his heart: "This kid still hasn't recognized it. But seeing that Yi Jinglan also gently stroked Leng Yun's cheek with her hand and said: "Silly boy, your Wudang industry can't always raise useless people, these industries are mostly places to produce things, not to mention that your sister was still young at that time, even now she can't pick it on her shoulders or lift it with her hands." How to do physical work, and this Wudang is mostly men, and it is inconvenient for your sister to be a woman, so I was bought as a little maid in this Fang Mansion, and it is good to be liked by the young lady and the old lady. Yi Jinglan also mentioned Fang Yongning. And Fang Yongning also smiled at Leng Yun and expressed his confirmation of what Yi Jinglan said.

"Sister, I've worked hard for you all these years. Leng Yun also looked at Yi Jinglan and said slowly.

"Didn't I say that. Actually, it's okay, it's a simple thing to follow Miss. Besides, you also know the young master, don't you have the ability to speculate?" Yi Jinglan also touched Leng Yun and said.

"Sun, Brother Fang has a good personality, and naturally his tutor is excellent. Leng Yun also nodded with a smile and said, "That sister, do you want to go back to Wudang with me." ”

"Wudang is mostly a man, and it is inconvenient for me to walk, and the young lady and the old lady here also treat me like a mountain, so I can't just leave. Yi Jinglan also said embarrassedly.

Fang Yongning opened his mouth and said: "Sister, but I'm worried about the deed of sale, I'll let someone find it out for you when the time comes, this is just a matter of words for my brother." ”

Now that Fang Yongning spoke, Fang Xiao naturally answered: "Yes, if you want to reunite your sister and brother, I will never have a problem here." Hearing this, Leng Yun's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yi Jinglan expectantly.

Yi Jinglan shook her head resolutely and said, "It's not a thing, but I really don't want to go to Wudang, after all, I don't know the place well." Leng Yun, you are also capable now, but my sister is not bad, you don't have to worry too much, and I will definitely take the time to see you. So the sister and brother also chatted for a while, and after an hour, everyone simply interjected a few words, and it passed. Leng Yun also strictly adhered to the time, said goodbye to his sister and agreed to come to Fangfu tomorrow to see his sister once and return to Wudang. It was also to say goodbye, and Mu Liu also sent him off as a representative of the people.

Wait for the two of them to walk away. Yi Jinglan also really unloaded a stone in her heart. "Why? Guilty of your brother?"

"No, I just don't want my brother to know anything else about Wudang. Yi Jinglan also spoke.

"But he's going to fall on his heels. Fang Xiao also spoke.

"He has to get up on his own so that he can go further. Yi Jinglan also said slowly, "You should be in the same generation as my brother, why?"

"I guess it's your brother. Fang Xiao also opened his mouth and said, "Leng Yun is too well protected by Wudang, so he is terrifying in his simplicity and kindness. And a cold son Dai has been traveling outside, but it is terrible to lose his humanity. I also admire how Qingping Zhenren cultivated such two people with diametrically opposed personalities?"

And Yi Jinglan didn't care too much about it, and ignored Fang Xiao. And Fang Xiao continued to say to herself: "But can you hide from him for the rest of your life?"

Yi Jinglan also didn't expect Fang Xiao to say such a thing, and after being stunned, she said, "It's a while to be able to hide for a while." ”

Fang Xiao wanted to persuade her a few more words, but looking at her current appearance, she also knew that she couldn't listen to it, so she had to sigh and say, "Since that's the case, you can control it yourself." ”

And Fang Yongning also gently hugged Yi Jinglan, who was thinking with her eyes closed. And Fang Xiao shifted his gaze to a woman who was slowly walking up to the stage, Fang Xiao also squinted for a while and said, "Now that the Oiran candidate has come to power?"
