It doesn't matter what the lord is.

Helplessly, I leaned against the railing and sighed, looking at the sparkling river water, feeling that life is as lonely as snow.

However, when I returned, I was surprised to find a letter on the table.

Another invitation letter.

------------------

I'm really sorry for not updating yesterday... Let me explain to you all. I used to code for a week on weekends to save up for unexpected situations. As a result, I was sick last weekend and didn't write. This week, some magical things happened at work. The boss suddenly wanted to make a new version, and I was the only one in the project team who seemed to be relatively free... This new version was thrown on my head.

I will update this weekend. I am really sorry TT

6. National Oiran Election Contest

When I first received the invitation letter, I took a quick look at it and put it aside.

Inviting all the lords and city lords to attend a large-scale dinner party in Yunhai Territory is also a process and practice that I have learned in advance. To put it in an analogy, it is a bit like the so-called upper-class gathering, where lords who are usually unrelated will meet, and the royal family will also send ministers.

At the beginning, Lord Yunhai gave a speech, and then the lords could walk around with wine glasses in hand. Some topics that were inconvenient to talk about in public could also be discussed at the table. Many collaborations between territories were achieved in this way.

But no one should come to me, the Lord of Yuxi City, to discuss business.

So at the beginning, I was totally unmotivated.

However, when I looked at the back of the invitation, I found that there was a brief list of activities after the banquet.

The election of the most beautiful lady in Yunhai Territory.

If it was just the Oiran election, it wouldn't be worth my anticipation. But when I looked at the introduction below -

"The contestants of the Oiran election are not just the prostitutes in the brothels or the prostitutes kept in the brothels. Commoner women, maids, and slaves in the Yunhai territory can all participate. The daughters of the lords can also participate. Pretty boy catamites can also participate. In addition to receiving the honorable title, the woman who wins the Oiran can also choose one of the items participating in the auction as a reward for winning the first place."

Wow!

so generous?

If I had known, I would have brought Alaya or Felita with me! Although everyone has a different definition of beauty, with my knowledge of makeup, one of the four great magics, it is not impossible to win the championship. But now it is a bit embarrassing, there is no talent at hand.

I was thinking in my mind if I could trick Fang Yuan, whom I had just met, into wearing women's clothes, but after careful consideration, I realized that I didn't have the confidence to package him as an oiran. After all, his foundation was too poor, and no matter how I tried to fix it later on, it wouldn't work.

But you still have to watch the game.

We in Yunyang are not without good-looking girls. Both my father and my brother have several good-looking concubines. It's a pity that they are either jealous and unscrupulous, or they are submissive and coquettish. I don't like any of them, but the aristocratic cultivation they carry should be a plus point that many common women don't have.

Or maybe my sisters seem to meet the standard.

Tsk.

I used my rusty memory to recall that this time last year, my father came back from Yunhai and mentioned the Oiran competition. It seemed that a female lord won the Oiran title, but that lord was too far away from Yunyang. We didn't have any communication on weekdays and were not familiar with each other at all. According to convention, last year's Oiran can't participate in the competition this year. I don't know who will be the Oiran this year.

This is fundamentally different from the general courtesan competition, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a national competition.

And "choose one item from the auction"...

This condition is too good. You have to know that the items in the auction are worth millions of gold coins. If the purchasing power of one gold coin is 10,000, then millions of gold coins are worth 10 billion. This is not a small goal, but more than 100 small goals. For me, it is an astronomical figure.

If a poor girl marries an oiran, she can become unimaginably rich in an instant. The auctioned items belong to the auctioneer, which means Yunhai will buy the auctioned items and give them to the oiran, and the money will eventually come out of the pocket of the lord of Yunhai.

Yunhai...is really rich.

I carefully put away the invitation.

In short, let's prepare to attend the party.

Maybe at the banquet, I can meet someone like Fang Yuan who can be won over. Since the implementation of the Enfeoffment Order, every lord's family has faced the issue of dividing the heirs, and there are always unfair situations. If it is operated properly, it is very likely that a group of foreign aid can be found for Yuxi City.

But eating at the same table with my family...

It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

7. Bring in a partner

After confirming that I would attend the party, I decided to go for a walk on the street.

It's not realistic to get Fang Yuan to wear women's clothing, but now Yunhai's capital has gathered people from all over the country. If I'm lucky, it's not impossible to get a girl with a good foundation to cooperate with me. With my genius makeup and marketing skills, I can package her into a beautiful girl that everyone loves.

Then as her agent, it shouldn't be a loss to take 50% of the reward.

Thinking of this, I started to look for suitable partners on the street. But after a round of searching, I didn't find anything special except being chased by the strong boyfriends of several women.

"What are you doing? Looking at my girlfriend? Beat him!"

"You're not that old, but you look lecherous? I'll play with you!"

"Want to leave? I'm going to bust your balls today!"

I had to hide in the alley and started to think seriously whether there was something wrong in some link.

After thinking about it carefully, I understood where this place was. This was the capital of Yunhai, and now it was the place where all the lords in the world gathered. The streets were filled with noble ladies shopping with their guards, or couples strolling around in a romantic way. It was impossible to take action.

Just as I was worrying about this, I heard a sinister laugh coming from deep in the alley.

"Oh, little sister, why did you suddenly come here? Is it to make it easier for us to take action?"

"Haha, I followed you all the way but never had a chance to do it. I didn't expect you to come to me on your own initiative."

"I won't let you go with such a good opportunity..."

and many more!

It's broad daylight, what are you doing?

It's such a clichéd plot, you are not kidding me.

Do you still remember a shocking case that happened in Lingyun City, Yunyang last year? A brothel girl pretended to be a good girl and was robbed. A brave man who passed by helped her. In the end, the beauty gave herself to him as a token of gratitude. After the two drank the wedding wine, the strong man fainted and fell to the ground. When he woke up, he found that he was missing a kidney.

I was shocked when I heard about this case. This is true magical realism.

All I can say is that the wisdom of the working people is truly endless.

Now, seeing that another cliché plot is about to be played out not far away, I thought about it and decided that it is better to have less trouble than more.

and many more!

If I think about it carefully, if she is really in trouble, I can definitely increase her favorability by solving the problem. Even if she is pretending, it means she is really short of money, and I can take advantage of her at that time. Anyway, we are all for money and will do anything to get what we want, so we are still the same kind of people.

Whichever it was, it should be easy to trick her into participating in the Oiran election.

Thinking of this, I walked over in two or three steps and saw three strong men beating a faceless woman against the wall. I kicked the leading man on the butt and shouted:

"Don't move, Yunhai Guards are enforcing the law, put down your weapons, hold your head and squat!"

Just like my father's guards are called Yunyang Guards, Yunhai Guards are the guards of the Yunhai Lord. In the territory of the Yunhai Lord, I think lying about my identity will look more intimidating...

But it seems not.

According to the standard plot, the two guys next to me would not surrender obediently, but chose to fight stubbornly, and I easily defeated them. After dealing with the three big men, the first thing I looked at was the girl leaning against the wall... To be more precise, I looked at her to see if she was pretty.

The facts are satisfying.

As expected of a woman who was followed in broad daylight, she was dressed simply but looked very cute. She had long straight black hair, a floral skirt, and a pair of white boots with green soles. Her bangs were pinned with a small hairpin, giving her a very refreshing feeling. She looked about 17 or 18 years old, well-developed, and just the right type of girl. No matter what type of packaging she was, she would be well received.

I asked hypocritically:

"This girl, is she not injured?"

She raised her eyes to me and suddenly asked:

"You are Yunhaiwei? My... Yunhai Lord's guard? What's your name?"

I saw that she was wearing simple clothes, and I guessed she was not a noble lady, and she probably had never seen Yunhaiwei, so I made up some nonsense:

"My name is Deli, and I just passed the Yunhaiwei selection last year. Do you know what your name is, girl?"

She smiled and said:

"You can just call me Xiao Huang. Thank you very much for your help just now. If you don't mind..."

Oh my god, it really is this kind of plot where one pledges oneself to another.

Exactly the same!

I touched my waist, interrupted Xiao Huang and said:

"If you don't mind, I'll be your agent. Girl, I see you're very pretty, why don't you participate in the Oiran Contest? With me here, I guarantee you'll have at least a 70% to 80% chance of winning. Whether you're short of money or people, you can get whatever you want. You can even hire ten bodyguards to follow you around, and no one will dare to touch you. Let's pick the most expensive things and split the profits 50-50. How about getting rich overnight?"

8. Let you experience the Asian witchcraft

Xiao Huang looked at me with interest and asked:

"Are you really Yunhaiwei?"

I patted my chest:

"Of course. You can go to Yunhaiwei and ask around. I am also a relatively famous person. You have heard of Baifeng and Baihuang, right? I can chat and laugh with them. Don't worry, young lady. I have internal connections. Although I dare not guarantee it, I am still somewhat confident."

Xiao Huang still smiled faintly.

Seeing that she didn't seem too panicked, I became more certain of my judgment.

This person is obviously a female swindler, who pretends to be a victim to let people down. She asked me if I was Yunhaiwei several times, probably because she was worried about her three companions, who were lying on the ground after being beaten by me, and whether I would invite them to the police station for tea.

Based on my years of experience, I should give her some hints at this time, so I said:

"As long as you participate in the Oiran election, these three will be at the lady's disposal."

Xiao Huang looked at the three people lying on the ground and said to me:

"I see. Then break his legs and throw him out of the sea of ​​clouds."

I rely on!

Are there any liars like you? This is too heartless. You're selling out your teammates?

I silently despised her in my heart, but still asked with a smile:

"Sister Huang, regarding this election..."

Xiao Huang nodded:

"Sure. After all, you saved me, didn't you? But I want to see your skills first... You know, it costs money to participate in the election, and there are many people who are prettier than me. Let me make it clear first, I don't know how to perform any talent shows."

To put it bluntly, it's just a lack of confidence.

In order to avoid my father and his spies as much as possible, I rented a hotel outside with Xiao Huang. Although my father's spies still saw me, they still couldn't control me renting a room with my sister. I couldn't just rush up and ask, girl, how much money did Lide give you? Our Yunyang Lord will give you double - it's okay to rob his son of something, but he probably can't afford to lose face robbing a woman.

When they got to a quiet place, Xiao Huang sat on the bed confidently.

I moved a chair and sat in front of her and asked:

"Well, Miss Huang, please introduce yourself first."

Xiao Huang raised his eyebrows and said:

"You've never seen me before, have you?"

I nodded.

She thought for a while and said:

"My name is Ah Huang, I'm 18 years old, and I come from an ordinary family. I'm not rich, but I don't need to help with work. I wanted to go out to buy something today, but I didn't expect to encounter this."

"Girls have to be careful when they are outside. There are a lot of bad guys out there."

——For example, me.

After complaining silently in my heart, I said:

"Well, Miss Huang. The current situation is roughly like this. As I said before, I am a member of the Yunhai Guard. I have some internal connections, so it is very likely that you will get the oiran. But the problem now is that if you don't have any talent, even if you get the oiran, others will definitely not accept it. If they investigate, we will most likely be exposed. Do you understand?"

Xiao Huang nodded.

I say:

"So now, I will teach you some things, including some ways of speaking, singing voice, and the general feeling of dancing. It's almost like a crash course. Of course, in order to make you believe it, I will put makeup on you first. After the makeup is done, you look in the mirror, and you will more or less know whether what I said is true or not."

Xiao Huang nodded again, as if to say, start your show.

I asked:

"Xiao Huang, have you ever worn makeup before?"

Xiao Huang said generously:
