Qi Yang sighed deeply. He was guilty of harboring a jade. Ling'er would definitely cause a lot of trouble if he took this hosta into the world. Not to mention that this hosta is the key to the treasure, just looking at the material and workmanship can attract many people like Qin Liu to be malicious. And the countermeasures he thought of at this time could only temporarily resolve the current crisis.
Qi Yang thought to himself, "Now we can only take one step and see one step at a time." Suddenly, he thought of Master Yuxiao again, and how Master Yuxiao wanted to find the destined person through the jade jade. He said to himself, "Brother Yuxiao will be very happy if he learns that the Xuanbing White Jade is in Miss Gan's hands." After saying this, he felt sad in his heart.
Today is the sixth day of July. Due to the Chinese Valentine's Day, the capital city has lifted the three-night ban from tonight, allowing people to go out on the streets at night to enjoy lanterns and night tours.
The most eye-catching oiran convention in the capital will also kick off tonight. Each brothel can select the three most outstanding women in the brothel to perform on the stage, and select the number one oiran in the capital and the annual number one in each brothel. At the conference, benefactors who had paid a deposit were allowed to bid to redeem the lives of women participating in the selection.
This Oiran Convention was held in Zujia Street, and the venue was set up in the open space between Chunfeng Building and Yihongyuan.
The unitary hour is approaching and the venue is already packed with people. Ling'er followed Du Qingshan and squeezed into the crowd.
In the center of the venue was a large stage, with a row of young women standing on each side of the stage. They were wearing colorful gauze and heavy makeup, and were looking at the men in the audience. There is a row of 17 or 18 Taishi chairs in front of the stage. At this time, most of the Taishi's chairs were empty, and people crowded in the outer circle to stop and watch.
Du Qingshan pulled Ling'er into the Grand Master's chair in the front row.
Ling'er then realized that these seats were only for guests who had paid a deposit. These guests will have the opportunity to bid to redeem the life of the woman they like after the talent competition at the Oiran Convention, but the woman's consent is required.
Ling'er also learned from Du Qingshan that the number one oiran last year was Xian'er, but Xian'er refused the highest bidder to redeem her life. Ling'er glanced at Du Qingshan worriedly. Judging from the girl Xian'er's thoughts, I'm afraid someone will be disappointed again tonight.
As Unitary Time approaches, people gradually take their seats in the front row. Ling'er's sharp eyes immediately spotted Qi Yang sitting in the seat at the end.
"Why is he here?" Ling'er said to himself.
Du Qingshan followed Ling'er's gaze and replied without hesitation, "Of course he will come. He is the head of Xunfang Tower and the organizer of the Oiran Conference."
"What did you say?" Ling'er was shocked when he heard this.
It was only then that Du Qingshan realized that he had let something slip. Although he felt that there was nothing to keep secret, Qin Liu had previously told him not to reveal the relationship between Qi Yang and Xunfang Tower.
"It turns out that Qi Yang is not a prostitute." Ling'er thought to herself, her heavy heart in the past few days felt inexplicably lighter, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly unconsciously.
Du Qingshan did not notice Ling'er's abnormality, because he had already arrived in Youdu.At that moment, an old lady slowly walked out from the backstage and announced the official start of the Oiran Convention.
"This is Mama Zhao, the number one madam in the capital." Du Qingshan introduced Ling'er to Ling'er while applauding excitedly.
In the warm applause of the crowd, one after another beautiful women dressed in gorgeous clothes walked to the stage with light steps under the introduction of Na Zhao's mother.
The audience cheered and cheered one after another, and the women on the stage tried their best to cater to and connect with the patrons in the audience. But there was also a woman standing there with a faint smile.
This woman is Xian'er. The faint smile dispelled some of the ice and snow beauty's past coldness and arrogance, adding to her charming charm. A beautiful woman who is like a direct descendant. Although she has not yet started competing for talents, she is already the well-deserved number one oiran in Ling'er's heart.
Xian'er's eyes swept across the crowd, stopping briefly in a certain direction without leaving any trace, affectionately. Ling'er turned around and looked, not surprisingly, that direction was where Qi Yang was.
As for Qi Yang, he did not follow every move of the girls on the stage as excitedly as everyone else. Instead, he folded his hands on his chest and sat casually on his seat, lowering his head slightly and staring. Somewhere on the ground, his eyes were a little distracted.
"He is in a daze" Ling'er was surprised by what he discovered. There were so many beautiful women on the stage, and he was actually in a daze
Xian'er on the stage didn't seem to mind at all, and cast an affectionate look at Qi Yang from time to time. This made Ling'er feel worthless for Xian'er.
After a while, the talent competition began. Since Xian'er was the number one oiran in the previous session, she was the first to appear.
Xian'er was sitting in the middle of the stage holding a pipa, and there were two maids beside her playing the lute to accompany her.
She slowly plucked the strings and sang softly, "As graceful as a startled giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon; as glorious as the autumn chrysanthemums, and as luxuriant as the spring pines. As if, like the moon covered by light clouds; fluttering. , Like the drifting wind returning snow. Looking from afar, it is as bright as the morning glow; looking at it, it is as bright as the green waves of flowers."
Her voice is like the sound of nature, flowing slowly through the crowd. There were ripples everywhere it passed.
When everyone was immersed in her beautiful voice, she put down her pipa, stepped on the beat, and danced gracefully. She turned around lightly and waved her long sleeves, outlining a psychedelic arc. Her smile and frown, slow and anxious, quiet and moving, touched the hearts of everyone present, even Ling'er, who was good at singing and dancing. I feel inferior to myself.
After the song, Xian'er saluted everyone and then walked backstage with lotus steps, but there was no applause from the audience for a long time. Everyone seemed to be still immersed in Xian'er's graceful dance. Later, someone shouted "OK" and woke everyone up, and the late applause burst out warmly.
After watching Xian'er's wonderful performance, people found the subsequent talent show uninteresting. This time, the title of No. 1 Oiran fell to Xian'er without any suspense.
After selecting the number one courtesan and the number one brothel, it’s time toThis is the most exciting part for Du Qingshan.
Although Xian'er's talents are unparalleled, her cold and arrogant temperament still scares away some patrons. There are only two guests who want to redeem her, and Du Qingshan is one of them.
In the end, Du Qingshan got the chance to redeem Xian'er at a very high price of one thousand five hundred taels.
"That's great." After Du Qingshan finished speaking, he turned to look at Ling'er, his mood dropped again, and he said worriedly, "I hope Xian'er is willing."
This At that time, Mother Zhao on the stage said, "Miss Xian'er is willing to accept this young master to redeem her life."
"Why did she agree?" Du Qingshan stood up excitedly, and his joy was beyond words.
Mother Zhao continued, "Please come to the back room to talk with me. Tomorrow at the time of You, the first oiran Xian'er will take her destined lover for a night tour of the West Lake."
Du Qingshan He quickly got up and walked to the back room.
While Ling'er was happy for Du Qingshan, she also felt a little incredible that Xian'er's attitude was so determined that day. However, Ling'er didn't think about these unreasonable things anymore. She looked in the direction of Qi Yang, and sure enough, the man was gone.
