Chapter 291
291 The first round of the flower Capital Conference
On this day, it snowed heavily.
However, before the snowflakes could land on the ground, they were about to be dried by the hot atmosphere of shenluo city.
Because on this day, the highly anticipated flower Capital Conference had begun.
As the saying goes.
The sound of gongs and drums, the sound of firecrackers, the fluttering of red flags, and the sea of people.
Li Chu sat quietly in the front hall of the de Yun sub-temple, which was far away from the flower Street, but he could feel the uproar over there.
On the other hand, the usually lively temple was empty and quiet.
Early in the morning, the Fox girl came looking for him.
“Master, you understand me.”
I don’t want to join in the fun, ” she said, a little embarrassed. but the baby Thunder Dragon hasn’t been out for a long time. I want to take it out to see the world.
As she spoke, she patted the little fat Dragon beside her. isn’t that so? ”
“??”
The little fat Dragon was stunned for a moment.
He saw the Fox girl quietly raise three fingers.
The little fat Dragon immediately nodded. CAW CAW CAW!
Li Chu nodded slightly. if you want to go, then go. Be careful.
The Fox girl brought the little fat Dragon out to play happily.
After a while, old du came over.
“Master, you know me.”
I’ve always been a Daoist, ” du Lanke said shyly. I’m not tempted by beauty.
but the neighbors in the south of the city are all out to play. Every year at this time, there will be many thieves who break into the house. I have to go out and patrol to protect the interests of the neighborhood.
Li Chu was too lazy to expose him, so he nodded. “Go on.”
Old du also left happily.
After a while, Wang longqi also came.
“Li Chu, you know me.”
“I’m lecherous,” he said with a serious face.
“If I don’t look at beautiful women for a day, I’ll feel uncomfortable all over.”
Li Chu looked at him and nodded heavily. honest.
Then, Wang longqi also went out full of anticipation.
Li Chu was the only one left in the huge Taoist temple.
The first round of the Huadu conference was officially called the ” first show “, also commonly known as the ” debut “.
Ten stages would be set up in shenluo city, and all the top courtesans who had signed up for the Huadu Convention would have to perform on stage.
Before and after their performance, there would be some time for the audience to reward them.
At that time, the top 50 courtesans on the donation list would be qualified for the second round of the competition.
However, for this round of competition, the top few most popular courtesans naturally did not care. All they had to do was to simply show their faces on stage and go through the process, and that would be enough to break out of the crowd.
Those Young Courtesans who had no hope of qualifying would not care. They would only take advantage of this opportunity to make as much money as they could and get familiar faces.
The ones who put in the most effort were those middle-ranked courtesans.
If they worked hard, they would have the hope of getting into the competition, but if they were unlucky, they might be eliminated. This was especially so when there were often games between different brothels behind the scenes. In order to get their good girls into the competition, in-game purchases were necessary. Every year, there would be people who would earn a lot of money, and every year, there would be people who would lose everything. In short, the competition was quite fierce.
The ” first show ” segment would last for three days, and in these three days, the top three courtesans of the previous year would appear one by one.
On the first day, there was Xie Shirong, on the second day, there was Hua qiluo, and on the third day, there was Wei Jiangli. This made the popularity even.
There was no performance from miss Jiang Li today.
Hence, Li Chu was not interested.
In fact, even if there was miss Jiangli’s performance, he would not be interested.
However, when he thought about how he had a share of every copper coin that was deposited into miss Jiangli’s account during her performance, he had the intention to attend the ceremony on the spot.
At this moment.
Although Li Chu was in the Taoist temple, his mind had already covered the entire shenluo city and its surroundings.
The flower Capital Conference was full of people, but it was also a chaotic place. There might be some kind of riot. On this day, the people of Chaotian que would also spread out and strengthen their vigilance.
However, Li Chu was still worried.
He had always suspected that the demon sect would take advantage of the city of flowers conference to stir up trouble.
Even though his heart’s eye technique couldn’t see as clearly as his consciousness, it was more direct at the “Chi” level.
No matter how well they hid themselves, when an evil or xiuzhe appeared, they would reveal their flaws once they wanted to attack.
Then …
Li Chu would fall from the sky in the next second.
……
“Eh? Old du?”
Wang longqi was walking through the crowd when he suddenly saw a familiar, excited black face.
“Seventh young master?”
Du Lanke turned around and saw Wang longqi. He smiled.
The two of them smiled at each other like scholars.
“So you’re here to patrol.” Wang longqi said mischievously.
“Seventh young master, please don’t tell my master.” Duranke said nervously.
“Hey, don’t worry.” Wang longqi waved his hand. Li Chu’s mind is as clear as a mirror. He grew up in deyun temple. He’s used to it.
what are you saying? our deyun temple is a prestigious and upright sect. My master is also an upright gentleman. Elder du hurriedly said.
“Ha.” “Then you haven’t met your Grandmaster,” Wang longqi laughed again.
With that, Wang longqi was about to walk to another street.
“Where are you going, Mr. Seven?” du Lanke asked. This is MA shengxi and miss Ma’s first show. She was also one of the top ten courtesans last year.”
“This is something you don’t understand.” Wang longqi said calmly,”what’s the use of looking at the courtesan Belle at this time?” Tens of thousands of people are giving her gifts, but you don’t show your face no matter how much money you spend.”
“It’s precisely at this kind of time that I have to go and support the little courtesan. Spend a little money and get first place on the list. Won’t she think of your good deeds? This is going to be a different story.”
“Not bad, seventh young master.”
Dulanc had a smile on his face that seemed to say, ” I’ve learned everything, but I don’t have money. I’m so envious of my brother’s every day.
This pair of scoundrels strolled around the flower Street for most of the day, and it was really too much for the eyes to take in.
Then, after noon.
Suddenly, half of the city’s people had gathered at a stage in the middle of the flower Street, and the other nine stages were suddenly empty.
This was because no other courtesan Belle wanted to appear at this time.
This was because last year’s top scholar, Xie Shirong, had made an appearance.
Du Lanke had watched the flower Capital Conference two years ago and Wang longqi had attended Xie Shirong’s talk, so he was looking forward to this stage even more.
They were not the only ones. Many scholars and scholars had gathered here, and there were many women.
He heard the people around him talking loudly,
“This miss Xie, there was once a poem that praised: ‘A heavenly worker’s hands can’t make bones, snow falling ice muscles and bones are three parts’. Brother, you must meet such a person today.”
“Brother, what do you mean by this poem?” someone asked.
hey, the first line. It’s said that master Zhao, the No. 1 painter of the Heluo dynasty, came here to draw a painting of a beauty for you, and you agreed to it.
“Who knew that after Prime Minister Zhao saw miss Xie, he held the brush for three days and did not write a single stroke. In the end, he said that he couldn’t even draw miss Xie’s beauty!”
“The second sentence is saying that miss Xie’s skin is fair, and even if snowflakes fall on it, they will appear a little dimmer.”
in short, I just want to praise miss Xie’s beauty. It’s hard to find in the heavens, but the only one on earth!
Half of the surrounding crowd had never seen Xie Shirong before. These discussions aroused people’s curiosity about her appearance.
At this moment, the emcee walked onto the stage and said with a smile, ” “Miss Xie said that she will use the throwing of embroidered balls to pick an audience member to perform with her.”
The audience instantly boiled over!
This was actually an old trick used by courtesans. They said that they would pick a lucky audience member, but in reality, they would pick a good big brother who gave a lot of rewards.
It was said to be a joint performance, but in fact, it was more like playing a prop or something to interact with, show their faces, and get to know the top courtesan girls. That was all.
But it also made many scholars happy.
Especially since it was Xie Shirong’s first time attending such a program.
Even though they knew that it was just a trick to get tips, many scholars were still willing to be deceived by her.
As soon as he said that, the donation seats below the stage were immediately full. The generous big shots asked their followers to shout out their donation amount, trying to make the others back off.
“West Mountain residence’s shopkeeper Liu! Eight hundred taels of silver!”
“The sect leader of the Misty Mountain sect offers a red jade that is worth a hundred taels of gold!”
the young master of the White cloud villa offers the night-luminescent pearls of the East Sea, which are worth cities. Twelve!
“Whoosh-”
At that moment, a shout suddenly caused an uproar in the crowd.
An elegant young man with an extraordinary figure suddenly stood out from the crowd.
He instantly became the center of attention.
Bai lingchen smiled.
“Miss Xie, I’m determined to get it!”
