"Miss, do you still want to paint today?" Xiao Cui hurriedly stood up and asked when she saw the lady came back.
In the Oiran Contest, others are busy earning popularity and increasing chips for themselves. Only my young lady is not worried at all. She is immersed in painting all day long, and it seems that she can never finish painting. And every time she goes out, the paintings she takes away are never repeated. appeared.
"Stop painting, help me prepare bath water, we will go out later."
Zeng Zuimo shook his head, the money for the redemption has already been raised, so there is no need to sell the paintings, not to mention, the rare is the most expensive, and a few three-dimensional paintings that appear occasionally can be sold for a good price. If there are too many, there will be no money in the future At that time, it was not so easy to make money by selling paintings.
Seeing the young lady enter the inner room, Xiaocui touched something in her bosom, and finally let go of her uneasy heart.
This time, Miss will be protected by her!
"Xiao Cui..." When she was in a trance, she heard the voice from inside, the girl immediately stood up and responded, and trotted over.
…
…
The Jinxiu Garden is full of rockery, and the water pavilions and pavilions are well arranged. It is a rare and elegant place. People with a little bit of status in the city regard this place as the first choice for inviting guests and banquets.
Especially in recent days, the garden is brightly lit almost every night, and there are staggered cups of wine. Tonight is no exception. It is Zhu Qing, a well-known wealthy businessman from Qing'an Prefecture, who is the host. There are many talents in Qing'an Prefecture, which are well-known for their talents.
When there are talented people, beautiful women are naturally indispensable, but all those who have a little reputation have also received invitations. Of course, it is not certain whether they can be invited.
After all, Zhu Qing is promoting Liu Yiyi this year, and he has almost spared no effort. He is regarded as their competitor. Naturally, it is impossible for some people to come, but with Mr. Zhu's name, many people will still give him face.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for everything you have done for Yiyi. Yiyi is very grateful." Inside a certain pavilion, a tall woman in green clothes bowed to the young man opposite.
"Hey, what is Yiyi saying? If you help me, you are helping me. There is no need to be so estranged between us." The young man waved his hand with a smile and said indifferently.
At this time, many people looked at the pavilion.
Among the two people in the pavilion, one is a wealthy son with a lot of money, and the other is one of the most famous oirans in Qing'an Mansion recently. This banquet was basically held for her.
At the level of the top ten oirans, no matter in terms of beauty or talent, it is actually very difficult to distinguish between them. If we really want to use these to rank, I am afraid that no one will be convinced.
The annual oiran contest is not just a contest between them, but also a game of power behind them.
In this year's situation, most of the wealthy businessmen headed by Zhu Qing are standing behind Liu Yiyi, while Lu Qiaoqiao is standing behind many talented people in Qing'an Prefecture. Others naturally have their own supporters, but compared to these two It's still not as good as the battle for the leader, I'm afraid it's the battle between Lu Qiaoqiao and Liu Yiyi.
"There will be a few friends who will come over later. They are talented people from the capital. I will take you to meet them." Zhu Qing said with a smile: "Miss Lu has the support of talented people headed by Yang Yanzhou. In terms of poetry, we You were already at a disadvantage, but you have to seize the opportunity later, if you can get them to help you sincerely, we will be more than 70% sure to win the leader this time."
Liu Yiyi nodded, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I didn't win over that mysterious Mr. Li. If there is his help, many talented people in Qing'an will be nothing to worry about..."
Although Zhu Qing is a businessman, he has obviously heard about the "Mr. Li" that Liu Yiyi said, and said: "Don't worry, although the invitations we sent were lost and the money was returned, but it is said that the I didn't attend anyone's banquet, I'm afraid I don't have much interest in these things, just keep an eye on Yang Yanzhou and the others."
As soon as the words fell, Liu Yiyi looked at the front and asked in surprise: "Why are they here?"
Zhu Qing followed her gaze and saw several figures approaching from a distance.
"That's... Yang Yanzhou, Wan Qiliang, and Miss Lu, how could they..." A look of surprise appeared on Zhu Qing's face. Although he sent invitations to these people, he didn't think about them at all. Will come, after all, Yiyi is Miss Lu's biggest opponent, how could they come to such an occasion
Surprise is nothing but surprise, everyone is a legitimate competitive relationship, there should be some etiquette, it is precisely because the two are the biggest rivals that they have to give each other great respect.
"Brother Yang, Brother Wan, I didn't expect a few of you to come, I'm not far away to welcome you..." Zhu Qing walked over and said with cupped hands.
"Sister Lu." Lu Qiaoqiao became famous earlier than her, so Liu Yiyi took the initiative to go over to greet her.
No matter how fierce the competition is in the dark, it is invisible on the bright side. Everyone can only see Zhu Qing, Yang Yanzhou and others laughing together, and Lu Qiaoqiao and Liu Yiyi, the two most popular candidates for the courtesan join hands, as close as sisters...
"There are still a few friends over there who need to be greeted. I'm really sorry for neglecting Brother Yang." After some polite chat, Zhu Qing and Liu Yiyi went elsewhere. They went.
"How is it?" Looking at Liu Yiyi's leaving back, the young man beside Yang Yanzhou turned his head and asked.
"It's a well-deserved reputation." Yang Yanzhou nodded and said.
To be praised as the No. 1 in Qing'an Mansion—the former No. 1 talent in Qing'an Mansion is already very impressive. Wan Qiliang smiled and said: "It seems that it will not be so easy for Miss Yiyi to win the leader. .”
Lu Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "Do your best and obey the destiny. If sister Yiyi wins the final oiran, Qiaoqiao can only congratulate her."
Wan Qiliang laughed, and said: "You don't have to worry, Miss Qiaoqiao. Brother Yanzhou has ten thousand pens and inks in his chest. Just a little bit of ink is enough to help you get the leader. The number one talented person in Qing'an Mansion is not a prodigal." In vain."
With a bitter expression on his face, Yang Yanzhou said, "Qiliang, please don't say anything about the number one talent in Qing'an Mansion, isn't this a joke on me..."
Wan Qiliang finally realized that he had made a mistake just now. No matter how famous Yang Yanzhou was, with that person in his presence, the title of number one genius would not fall to him.
Then, he realized another problem, and said, "I don't know which girl that——is supporting, if..."
Yang Yanzhou interjected: "At first, I thought he would support Miss Zui Mo, the top courtesan in Qunyu Yuan, but that girl Zui Mo didn't seem to care about this contest for the top oiran. It is said that she just studied painting in her room every day. You guys Maybe you don't know how much a painting by Miss Zuimo is so popular, I spent a full two hundred taels of silver a few days ago to buy one."
Wan Qiliang nodded and said, "It's also fortunate that she didn't have the idea of competing for the oiran, otherwise, a few scary poems would be thrown out, and the oiran contest would be meaningless."
Lu Qiaoqiao was also secretly glad that although she didn't have a relationship with that person, everyone was the same, and this time the oiran competition was still fair.
While thinking this way, she raised her head and glanced casually, and two figures who had just walked in appeared in her line of sight.
