0210. Oiran Competition (1)
Bai Xuan shook her head when she heard this and said, "No one has sent accurate information yet."
Li Mu sighed in disappointment.
Damn, this old beggar is so wicked, he kidnapped the stupid Loli Mingyue with the blood of a dragon.
It's really not fastidious.
When we find this old guy and his yellow dog, we must break their legs.
Bai Xuan didn't stay in the room for long. Soon, she had the good sense and left.
After she thought about it, she felt very relaxed.
Whether it is Li Mu or Hua Xiangrong, they can now be regarded as influential figures in Chang'an City, attracting attention from all parties, especially the former. He is an outstanding young talent in both poetry and martial arts. He is definitely an unrivaled genius. He does not know how many eyes he has attracted. Although it is dangerous, every extra day spent in Wenshengzhai will bring great reputation to Wenshengzhai.
In the room, Li Mu continued to teach Hua Xiangrong how to practice Taoism.
After that, Hua Xiangrong practiced martial arts with the way of innate light, singing and dancing in the room, stirring up the laws of heaven and earth. In such an environment, Li Mu practiced [Innate Kung Fu] and got twice the result with half the effort.
This is considered one of the must-have songs for the two of them to perform "double cultivation" every day.
In recent days, Li Mu feels that his mental strength is gradually becoming fuller, and he is about to break through the small bottleneck and can hit the first level of [Xiantian Gong].
He's looking forward to it.
[Xiantian Gong] After the first level of Dzogchen, what kind of power will there be if the Heavenly Eye is fully opened?
…
…
"What? Rejected again?"
The demon-handsome second prince heard his subordinate's report and frowned slightly.
And the diners and counselors around him in the room were completely blown away.
"It's so arrogant, it's simply unforgivable."
"You should be damned if you don't know how to appreciate someone."
"Your Highness, such a madman must not be leniently spared, otherwise, others will follow his example in the future. Where is the majesty of Your Highness?"
"I request your highness to send experts to kill this madman."
Everyone looked indignant and commented one after another.
However, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the second prince's face, and he asked: "Higher One, have you fought against Li Mu? How is his strength?"
The middle-aged warrior told the process without any concealment, and said: "I'm not as good as him. If we fight head-on, I only have three chances at most. If I miss three moves, I will definitely die." Although he suffered a loss at the hands of Li Mu, But he still told what he thought was the truth, just because he didn't want to interfere with the second prince's judgment on this matter. However, he didn't know that his judgment was just wishful thinking.
"Oh, that's it," the second prince smiled calmly and said, "You go and send me a greeting card again, this time, be more polite. Talented people like to put on airs. This is normal."
As soon as these words came out, the room was filled with silence.
Those who had been indignantly condemning Li Mu just a moment ago no longer dared to say anything bad about Li Mu.
This time, the second prince was very courteous and virtuous.
The middle-aged man was slightly startled and immediately felt the pressure. He nodded and said, "I understand, I understand."
The second prince is going to play it real.
…
…
"Kill Yuan Wu again?"
In the study, Prefect Li Gang's hand, which was practicing calligraphy, suffocated slightly.
Zheng Cunjian nodded and said: "The news from the inside is indeed like this. Moreover, not only Yuan Wu was killed, but I heard that even the inspector Lulizi was injured." Zheng Cunjian told what happened in the hall of the Supervision Department Read it again.
After so many years, Li Gang's management in Chang'an Mansion is so sophisticated that the Supervision Department has long buried nails, and no movement can escape his eyes and ears.
After all, he is a local snake.
And he is also a very scary local snake.
After listening to this, Li Gang put the pen in his hand on the pen holder, took the hot towel from the concubine's hand, wiped his hands, and said: "Lu Lizi entered the innate world more than ten years ago. It is said that he has already passed the four The inner Qi that was completed was refined into the innate true Qi? And he also practiced the [Ziwei Tianluo Crazy Demon Sword Technique], and he can rank 30th among the 36 inspectors at the Supervision Department Headquarters?"
Zheng Cunjian said: "Forty percent of the innate true energy is his own statement. It is probably an exaggeration. However, according to his character, it should be too much, about a little more than 30%."
"That's quite a lot. Haha, this scoundrel really shocks people again and again." Li Gang took the old ginseng and bird's nest porridge brought by the concubine, drank it in one gulp, and said, "Cun Jian, In your opinion, is it because he held back every time he made a move, or is his strength constantly growing? In the battle at the Tianjian Martial Arts Hall that day, although he killed Master Tianjian with one move, he had not yet shown his strength. Showing the strength to injure Kariko."
Zheng Cunjian shook his head and said: "My subordinates can't see that if it is said that it is retained, combined with the past events, it is not very likely. If it is said that it has grown recently, it is unlikely. No one in this world can do this." With the increase in cultivation level, even the masters of the Nine Divine Sects and the taboo being from the past are not so crazy. "
"That's true." Li Gang suppressed his suspicion in his heart.
"Sir, the day after tomorrow is the Oiran Competition, do you want to attend?" Zheng Cunjian asked.
Li Gang shook his head and said: "It is not appropriate for me to be present on such a romantic occasion." He is now the local emperor of the entire Chang'an Mansion, and there is no need to show his presence. Those so-called courtesans, if he really wants, he can let them Waiting in line for luck.
Zheng Cunjian hesitated for a moment and said, "What is the second prince going to do?"
After Li Gang sat back at his desk, he looked at the flickering lights and said, "Cooperate...cooperate to a certain extent. We can do things that comply with the laws of the empire. If they don't, he will do it himself."
"I understand." Zheng Cunjian nodded.
…
…
time flies.
In a blink of an eye, the third day has arrived.
The day of the Oiran election has arrived.
The real election contest takes place when the lights are on.
During the day, the Jiaofang Division organized another float parade, imprisoning female slaves from the prairie and some beautiful convicts from official families in iron cage cars, and displayed them throughout the city. At one time, they naturally included General Tang’s widow and two daughters.
The younger daughter Tang Mi was still groggy and had not recovered from her cold. She had no idea what kind of miserable fate awaited their mother and daughter next. Both the Tang family and the eldest daughter were in a state of panic and misery.
Jiaofangsi did this to warm up the atmosphere and heighten the atmosphere.
When the sun set in the afternoon, Liufang Street in Jiaofangsi suddenly became crowded with people. It was more lively than ever before. It was like a festival, bustling and very crowded.
Like some grand celebration gatherings on the planet, the competition organized by Jiaofangsi spent some effort and had an opening ceremony. The entire process was open to everyone. On the large open-air stage, there were many people who had previously signed up for the Oiran Competition but were unable to do so. The young and beautiful courtesans who were not selected among the top thirty performed on the stage and competed for beauty, which aroused bursts of cheers and applause from the crowds on Liufang Street, and the atmosphere was lively.
This is the last chance for the unsuccessful courtesans to show off themselves and win fame, so they all work extra hard.
After the opening ceremony, the real oiran competition begins.
Famous prostitutes from the major brothels in Chang'an City, as well as famous prostitutes from various states outside Chang'an Prefecture, will compete on stage to perform and compete for the oiran.
Time passed, and it was already the beginning of the lanterns.
Night gradually fell.
In the sky, two bright moons were shining brightly.
When I was young, I didn't recognize the moon. It looked like a white jade plate.
Even the God of Heaven cooperated with the oirans, there was no cloud, and the moonlight was particularly beautiful, like a veil, covering the earth, giving all the buildings in Chang'an City a layer of white frost.
Before the competition officially started, Li Mu appeared in the VIP private room on the second floor of [Feixian Building] about 20 meters away from the stage, waiting to see what happened.
Of course he came to cheer for Hua Xiangrong.
This private room was specially reserved for Li Mu by Wen Shengzhai's mother Bai Xuan in advance. The view is excellent and the angle is right. You can clearly see all the performances on the stage without being blocked by the crowds on the street. When Hua Xiangrong performs on stage, you can also see Li Mu cheering for her.
In order for Hua Xiangrong to win the first prize, Bai Xuan worked very hard.
Li Mu sat in the private room with Zheng Cunjian beside him.
The chrysanthemum leopard huddled up in a ball, squinting its eyes and snoring in the corner.
In his heart, he was actually a little excited and curious.
The oiran election contest is an attractive event for any man. Watching the performances of a group of talented girls from thousands of miles around the world is definitely a feast for the eyes. What’s more, Li Mu will enter the contest tonight , he supports Hua Xiangrong, naturally he cannot just give verbal support.
This gave him a feeling of participation.
This is a completely different kind of pleasure from being successful in martial arts.
The competition is about to begin.
The outstanding courtesans who have been selected into the top thirty are making final preparations and drawing lots to choose the order in which they will perform on stage.
Before that, Li Mu also learned about the rules and process of oiran selection through Zheng Cunjian's mouth.
Similar to various auditions on the earth, the final result of the Oiran election also consists of three links: "audience voting", "expert selection" and "advertising comparison".
The so-called 'audience vote' refers to the fact that during the performance of a courtesan, she will receive a flower basket from her admirers. Each flower basket is equivalent to one silver. The final amount of the flower basket - that is, the amount of silver received - will be used as part of the Based on the rating, in Li Mu's view, this thing is purely a text message vote on the earth. Spend money to support idols, but only one flower basket and one silver. This is definitely a game played by rich people.
The so-called 'expert selection' refers to asking some of the city's upper-class dignitaries, wealthy bureaucrats, and famous mothers from brothels, a total of thirty people, to give scores individually, which will be included in the final total score.
In the third part, "Advertisement", these famous prostitutes have already found celebrities and dedicated poems to them. The quality of the poems is used as the final bonus.
"This last poem is particularly important for the final selection of the Oiran Competition. A century-old poem and a thousand-year-old poem can shock the audience and be sung all over the world. Therefore, it is also the most important part of the entire competition... Of course, for the young master, Say, it’s not a problem, everyone will be the oiran tonight.” Zheng Cunjian said.
