Yuan Rong smiled and said: "So you are planning to support Shen Jiaonu. You are all extremely wealthy. Not to mention the four of you joining forces, it shouldn't be difficult for any one of you to win a queen."
Chen Mukuan laughed harshly and said: "Actually, I hope someone really comes out to compete with us. Winning is too easy and it's not interesting anymore."
Yuan Rong scanned around and saw that there were many boats around the King of Fangs, and the guests on the boats were all either rich or noble. Although the river was wide, the boats were surrounding each other, making it extremely inconvenient to drive. .
The banks of the Qinhuai River are also crowded with people and brightly lit.
Although the selection of the Queen of Flowers is an annual grand event of Qinhuai Fengyue, only a few people can actually participate in it. Some people have also said that the selection of the Queen of Flowers of Qinhuai is not actually competing for those beauties with both talent and beauty at all. But those rich men with tens of thousands of gold in their hands.
These people spend a lot of money and are luxurious and extravagant. On the Qinhuai River, it is a good time to show their wealth.
Yang Ning stood on the side of the boat, looking at the magnificence on the river, but she felt quite emotional.
For most people, it doesn’t really matter who is on the throne. What matters is their own life. Even a very accomplished emperor like the Great Chu Emperor did not live for a short period of time after his death. In a short period of time, he seemed to have been forgotten by people, and few people mourned his passing.
At this moment, there was thunderous applause and cheers on the Qinhuai River. It turned out that Wu Yin'er had finished singing a song, and everyone was cheering endlessly. At this time, a boat was already passing by to deliver the lottery.
The numerous boats surrounded by stars holding the moon are some distance away from the King of Boats. Each boat is equipped with a small boat. According to the rules, after the Qinhuai Eight Beauties show off, the wealthy guests will come to support them, and the small boat is used to bring the lottery. Tools, whoever gets the most prizes in the end will naturally be the well-deserved Flower Queen. According to the number of prizes, two Flower Concubines will be selected.
Although the eight beauties of Qinhuai who participated in the selection were all good at sex and art, they all maintained their perfect bodies and were pure husbands.
After Qinhuai's eight beauties competed with each other, they also had to compete with their benefactors.
For example, if the final Queen of Flowers has several benefactors who come to support her, which benefactor will be the most generous in the end, she will be served for three consecutive days. After that, whether she will be taken away or stay in the Qinhuai River, it won't matter. That's another story.
As soon as Wu Yin'er finished his song, several benefactors gave out prizes on several boats, and several small boats also shuttled between them.
"Is it Zhuo Xian'er's turn?" Zhu Yuchen said softly, but it turned out that his biological son had already sounded, and the originally noisy river suddenly became quiet again.
Above the Fang King, a stunning beauty was sitting upright and playing the harp. She was a little far away and Yang Ning could not see her appearance clearly. However, looking at the graceful figure of the woman, she was naturally a beautiful lady with a graceful figure.
Zhuo Xian'er gently relaxed her jade wrists, and played the sounds of nature on the river where the lights were like stars.
The winter night was quite cold, and the sound of the piano filled the air, but it also brought a bit of desolation and melancholy.
The person who heard the news, who was full of melancholy and desolate, even the rather rough and arrogant Chen Mukuan, actually showed a little loneliness on his face.
After the prosperity, people naturally feel lonely. In the prosperous world, isn’t the drinking and carnival itself just another kind of loneliness
That kind of waking up from alcohol in the dead of night, the kind of loneliness that comes from chewing alone in the long night...
Even if it is an eternal romance, even if it is a horse-drawn platform, the yellow beams dream on the pillow, and the Zhuang lives the lost butterflies. When I wake up from the wine, it is just the willow bank and the dawn wind and the waning moon.
The sound of the piano was scattered, and there was a hint of desolation in Yang Ning's eyes.
Just when everyone was quiet and lonely, the sound of the piano suddenly changed, became impassioned, and solemn, and instantly brought everyone into the realm of riding horses in the sword pavilion and washing soldiers in the night rain.
The iron horse fights like a soldier, and the wind and rain are like soldiers!
On the beautiful Qinhuai River, I was actually infected by this song. The Qinhuai River, which was supposed to be full of singing and dancing in the wind and moon, had a lingering cold west wind, and the majesty of the Han Dynasty mausoleum was intense. These completely opposite meanings, connected by a song, were natural, and had long since passed. People are so mesmerized that they sing and cry.
The hearts of the people moved with the music, sometimes desolate, sometimes exciting, suddenly entering the cold winter with snow, and then entering the warm spring with flying catkins, full of arms and iron horses, and the autumn moon in the south of the Yangtze River in their hearts, turning thousands of times, full of emotions, and full of worries. , but it is the weather of the ages.
When the song ended, there was surprisingly no cheers on the Qinhuai River, but this was the best praise and praise. Everyone was still immersed in the beautiful music. After a while, someone started to cheer. Come, and there are obviously many more boats going back and forth than Wu Yin'er in front.
Jiang Cheng, the young master of Songjiang Tea House, clapped his hands and said in admiration: "Just this song makes this trip worthwhile. This Zhuo Xian'er is indeed a superb piano player. Even if she is not the Queen of Flowers today, she will definitely become the Princess of Flowers."
Chen Mukuan laughed and said: "Brother Jiang, it seems that you have a good impression of Zhuo Xian'er. We must support the Queen of Flowers, but it doesn't mean that we can't support the Queen of Flowers. Brother Jiang, why don't you support Zhuo Xian'er? Maybe You can also become Zhuo Xianer’s guest.”
Jiang Cheng smiled slightly and said to a small boat below: "Send that neon dress to Zhuo Xian'er!"
Xiaozhou set off immediately. Zhu Yuchen clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang is fine if you don't take action. Once you do, it's a big deal. I heard that someone wanted to buy the neon dress for five hundred gold, and Brother Jiang refused without blinking."
Yang Ning was a little surprised, thinking to herself that these people were really wealthy. She thought it was just a piece of clothing, and it would be worth a lot of silver, but she didn't expect it to be worth five hundred gold, which is an astronomical figure.
The dignified Jinyi Hou Mansion was worried about thousands of taels of silver before, but in Jiangcheng, it was five hundred gold. The merchants of Dachu really spent a lot of money.
Soon, I heard a voice from King Fang: "Master Jiang, the young owner of Songjiang Tea House, gave Zhuo Xian'er a neon dress for five hundred gold!"
Immediately, I saw many people looking over here, and it was obvious that Jiang Cheng's move shocked many people.
Although everyone present was either rich or noble, five hundred gold was really not a small amount. He saw Zhuo Xian'er coming to the side of the ship and seemed to be giving a slight salute. Jiang Cheng raised his hand and waved without saying anything.
Yang Ning glanced back and saw Duan Canghai standing in a corner beside the ship. After he followed Yang Ning up, he had been standing there quietly. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't even be able to find his presence. .
Yang Ning knew very well that although he was usually easy-going and had a very harmonious relationship with Duan Canghai and others, and even made some jokes occasionally, but now that he inherited the title and went out, Duan Canghai was just an accompanying guard, so he was not in danger At any time, he will never interfere with his own actions.
When several minions from the Rising Sun Escort Agency came up, it was Yang Ning who took action first, otherwise Duan Canghai would have already taken action. Duan Canghai was born in the navy and had enough patience and strong self-control.
Yang Ning also caught a glimpse of Pearl not standing on the side of the ship, but sitting on the edge of the wine table, looking up at the night sky with a sad expression, and her attention was obviously not on the Queen's choice.
I only hear the new people laughing, but I don’t hear the old people crying.
When Pearl was elected as the Queen of Flowers with the support of Young Master Xue, she was famous for a while. In just a few years, no one paid attention to this former Queen of Flowers anymore.
Tonight's Eight Beauties of Qinhuai will naturally elect a new Queen of Flowers, but I don't know what the situation will be like for Tonight's Queen of Flowers in two years' time. Perhaps, just like today's Pearls, history is repeating itself. That’s all.
Yang Ning suddenly felt that these colorful girls in red and green were so pathetic. Maybe they had never been themselves. From beginning to end, they were just the playthings of those dignitaries.
The Eight Beauties of Qinhuai take turns to perform their skills, and the Qinhuai River is sometimes lively and quiet.
Yang Ning was thoughtful when she heard Zhu Yuchen shout loudly: "Shen Jiaonu is out!"
Yang Ning had previously heard that these people were interested in flattering Shen Jiaonu. He looked up and saw a woman on the ceiling of the Fang King, like a fairy lingyun, who seemed to be walking away on the waves. Although there was some distance between them, Under the bright lights, anyone can see the graceful dance like clouds.
There was silence all around King Fang.
I heard a melodious singing voice, melodious and delicate, as sad as sighing.
"The bright moon in the sky is silent and speechless
The sound of the flute haunts Nuyan
Charming shadow flashes in the water
Fairy clouds full of beautiful clouds
Who pities the resurrecting ghost grass
The sword soul waits for a thousand years
Xuan Yehong is almost lonely and no one captures it
Floating catkins dye wild flower stamens hidden in the wind
Shiwei Yuanlu was sent to Xinjiang Township
Broken glass, broken harp strings
The cinnabar dots on the eyebrows make the beauty fade away
Sighing lightly, the beauty is broken, the green robe is like flying and carefree, it is difficult to understand. "
The song was long and sweet, floating on the river, like a bitter girl, full of sorrow, and even more pity-like.
Everyone who heard this song was so mesmerized that they mistakenly thought that this song seemed to be sung by Shen Jiaonu to them.
As soon as the song was finished, no one knew who among the crowd was the first to shout "Hello", and then the cheers poured out like an overwhelming force, which was actually three points louder than Zhuo Xian'er's cheers just now.
Yuan Rong smiled and said: "Brother Jiang, it seems that heroes have the same views. It seems that many people are interested in Shen Jiaonu."
Zhu Yuchen frowned and said: "It seems that Shen Jiaonu is really outstanding. Listening to the praise, it seems that many people want to praise her, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to deal with."
Chen Mukuan immediately said: "We haven't taken action yet, how can we know that it will be difficult to deal with? Brother Zhu, don't back down."
Zhu Yuchen laughed and said: "Brother Chen is worrying too much. Since the brothers are here to have fun, I will always sacrifice my life to accompany you." He shouted down below: "Send three hundred gold first!"
Chen Mukuan smiled and said: "This looks like the eldest son of the Zhu family." He also shouted: "Help me also give three hundred gold." Turning to Qiu Fang, he asked: "How much is Brother Qiu prepared to pay?"
Qiu Fang put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Since it's just fun, I'll just take three hundred gold first."
Jiang Cheng sighed: "Since these brothers have taken action, I can only follow with three hundred gold."
In just a few words, these wealthy young men had already given away twelve hundred gold. Although Yuan Rong came from a wealthy family, he was slightly shocked.
Yang Ning already knew that these people were spending a lot of money. In fact, these few hundred gold were definitely just a drop in the bucket to them. These few were real rich people.
At this moment, the boats passing by were like carps crossing the river. Just by looking at the scene, one could tell that there were many people cheering for Shen Jiaonu, and the outcome seemed to have been decided as to who the queen would eventually fall into.
"As far as I know, among the previous flower queens, Miss Yao Yue seven years ago had the most. At that time, she had a total of four thousand gold." Yuan Rong sighed: "The highest bidder has two thousand gold. Looking at today's situation, this Shen Jiao slave It seems that Yao Yue’s fortune is about to be broken.”
Fang Wang’s screams continued.
"The eldest son of Chenjia Buzhuang gave me three hundred gold!"
"Master Chen of Weitang Porcelain gave me three hundred gold!"
…
"Master Bai from the Bai family medicine store will give you three hundred gold!"
"Young Master Gu's golden Buddha statue at Tianhe Racecourse was faked with 350 gold!"
…
"The eldest son Donghai Jiang presented a generation of pearls, one luminous pearl and eight gold leaves, priced at one thousand five hundred gold!"
Everything suddenly became quiet.
Yang Ning clearly saw that the expressions of Zhu Yuchen and others changed slightly.
Although there were many people who gave the money, the bid of the eldest son Donghai Jiang suddenly topped the spot and overshadowed everyone.
