late night song

Chapter 107

On the third day after the Yingyue Arena, the election of the oiran in Chenglu Street took place.

Although he is still the same as the old eight, writing poetry, singing, playing music, playing chess, calligraphy and painting, even so, it is very new to Gu Yuchu.

In the past, she only knew that the girl from Hualou served people with sex, but she never expected that the most beautiful skirt in the world could be so thick and admirable. Now she just feels that she is too superficial and prejudiced.

According to the rules, the eight flower houses with the most Huazhimu cards in the general election in the arena can nominate a girl to participate in the final election.

Suo Xing Palace's natural choice is Sang'er, while Fuyun Palace recommends Mo Qian, who is both beautiful and beautiful, and the other six are also their top picks.

Every year, the oiran competition is held under the auspices of the Hehe official family. First, there is a preliminary selection of poems, songs, and poems, half of which are eliminated, and the remaining chess, calligraphy, and painting are determined by the first, second, and third place.The top three can not only retire from slavery and enter the palace to receive rewards from the king, but the oiran can even be awarded the title of First Grade Golden Flower Marquis and serve the king for one year before entering the palace.

Being famous and prosperous, and being close to the emperor, if you are very lucky, you may have the opportunity to fly up a branch and live in the harem. This opportunity to be reborn is what every girl in Chenglu Street is eagerly waiting for.

Every year, the oiran competition is filled with beautiful women vying for beauty, but this year, because of one man, people all over the world have forgotten the original highlight of the competition, just to get a glimpse of his immortal grace.

The real name of this outsider is unknown, but he has an arrogant nickname that is unavoidable, and he is called "Qin Emperor".

According to legend, since the Qin Immortal Duanmo drove Hexi to the west, no one can play the Xiangyu Shang Guqin. However, five years ago, a handsome young man escaped from Zhongnan Mountain into the world and performed a piece of the Qin Immortal's posthumous work "Nine Layers". "Si" is famous all over the world. The strength of his fingertips and the ethereal rhythm of his music are no less than those of the ascended Qin Xian. However, his whereabouts are elusive and the world does not know his name, so he gave him this nickname to show respect.

This piano emperor has an aloof character. Although he has escaped into the mortal world, he has not been stained at all. His dealings with others are all based on the mood of the moment. Some people once spent thousands of dollars just to ask him to play a song, but he was not moved at all. Instead, he cursed angrily. They are the arrogant people.

What's even more interesting is that he never shows his true face to others, and always wears a veil when he appears. Some people say that he is born ugly so they dare not show his true face, while others say that he has bright eyes and white teeth that are shocking to see. God, but no one can tell clearly what the truth is.

This time the oiran was chosen, and I don’t know how He and the rites and music officials persuaded this master to come to watch the ceremony, and even judge the piano skills as the chief guest.

The whole world was in an uproar about this, and they all speculated about his purpose. Maybe he was a close friend in this feast of beautiful women, or maybe he just played the piano in a happy mood, which was a long-awaited blessing. As a result, the ticket price for the ceremony was sold on the black market. The amount of speculation doubled one after another, and it was hard to get a vote.

After noon, after the primary election, four of this year's eight candidates have been eliminated. The remaining four are Son'er from Suo Xing Palace, Mo Qian from Fuyun Palace, Luo Jing from Shi Fang Pavilion, and Dongfang from Xiao Bell Tower. Long happy.

In terms of appearance and figure alone, the four of them are all top-notch beauties. In terms of temperament and talent, they are not inferior to those from high-ranking families.Unfortunately, Hibiscus is stuck in a swamp. Even if its color does not change, it cannot escape the fate of being submerged.

In Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, although Qin is ranked first, the order of competition is in the opposite direction.

The four beauties painted their own paintings. The strange mountains and rivers were majestic, the flowers and plants with fallen crystals were delicate, and the cranes in the east were lifelike. However, Sonny took a different approach and painted the Chenglu Street shrouded in the sunset in a freehand way, hazy and... Beautiful, finally won the first place in the painting test, Mo Qian temporarily ranked second, Dongfang Changxi ranked third.

Next came the calligraphy test. The four beauties had beautiful calligraphy and they were indistinguishable from each other. However, Mo Qian broke through because the first character of each line imitated the calligraphy of the great Sima of the dynasty and won the first place in the calligraphy test. Sang Er ranked second and Luo Jing ranked second. three.

Then came the chess game. The four beauties drew lots and played the game in pairs. However, Sonner and Moqian, who had played steadily all the way, both lost. In the end, Dongfang Changxi won the first place, Luojing ranked second, and Sonner and Moqian were third. and fourth.

Finally, there is the much-anticipated piano test.

At the guests' table, Qin Emperor was still wearing a black curtain, and no one could see his true appearance.He straightened his body slightly, and everyone could only guess from these small body movements what he might be thinking at the moment.Gu Yuchu sat on the viewing platform and carefully observed this legendary master, but other than the suspicion of being mysterious and seeking fame, he could not see anything worthy of the world's admiration for him.

"That Qin Emperor doesn't look very good." She muttered softly following Yan Feng.

"I also feel that wearing a curtain hat means that the real person is not exposed? I feel very silly." Yan Feng expressed the same feeling.

"Shh, listen carefully, Zheng Sang'er can only win the Oiran title if he ranks first in the piano test. Our Suo Xing Palace lost to Fuyun Palace last year, so we can't be embarrassed this year." Juan Niang looked a little nervous, holding up her hands. The veil inside has been torn out of shape.

"What's so great about an oiran? If you retire from slavery, you can come and go freely. Even if you stay voluntarily, you won't be able to receive guests for a year. Isn't it a big loss?" Yan Feng rolled his eyes when he saw her like this.

"What do you know?! The oiran is a first-class huahou personally appointed by the king of the country." Juan Niang pushed Yan Feng.

"Reborn." Gu Yuchu sighed.

"So what? The oiran from Fuyun Palace last year retired from slavery and served the king. Although he was favored, he was tricked by the ladies in the harem and his body was left intact. Therefore, this oiran is not that easy to be. Sang Sang. You better wish for your own happiness, little girl." Yanfeng added.

"That's her fault. She can't blame anyone else."

Juan Niang showed no sympathy at all, and continued: "If there is an oiran in our building, then in the future we will attract new girls into the building and every word of speech will be gold-plated."

Hearing this, Gu Yuchu couldn't help but admire him. It seemed that those who could achieve great things had to focus on the big picture rather than the small gains.

The piano test finally began and was divided into two sessions.

In the first half, the chief judge randomly selected a piece as the title from the fifty wooden tablets in the copper box engraved with the music of famous masters from all over the world. The chief luthier’s score determines the two places to participate in the final round.

Amid the applause of the crowd, the fat chief judge pinched his beard and fished out a piece from the copper box with one hand. The supervisor sang the song, and the prescribed song was "Zhiyunxiao".

Next, the four girls appeared separately. Their fingertips were smooth and they played the strings smoothly. It seemed that they had learned the test questions in advance and had practiced hard for a long time.But in front of experts, it is actually clear and obvious whether one is truly superb or improvising.

In the end, Luo Jing and Dongfang Changxi were not selected. Based on the results of the previous three competitions, without the need for additional tests, the third flower of the Oiran's choice this time was born, and Dongfang Changxi won.

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and the Madam of Xiaozhong Tower was blushing. After all, it was not easy to win the third place in front of the two big flower towers.But in comparison, Dongfang Changxi himself was extremely indifferent.

Miss Luo Jing burst into tears. The words "victory and defeat are common matters in the military" did not bring any comfort to her. After all, time flies by and it would be difficult to seize such an opportunity again.

At this point, the audience also started a heated discussion, but as soon as the gong sounded, it immediately became quiet again.
