The huge float is like a moving stage. Tang Xiaobei sat in the middle and played the pipa. There were two girls playing the guzheng and flute next to it. Some of the remaining girls flew long sleeves and performed dances.

It looks quite like a celebrity holding a concert.

“It’s so lively outside!”

Xiao E stepped on the stool and poked her head out of the window: "Brother-in-law, let's go out to watch the fun too?"

"The Courtesan Competition will be held on a cruise ship on the river. Now the floats have to circle around the city before going to the river. Let's go after lunch."

Jin Feng rubbed Xiao'e's head and said, "Now when you go out, you are running around the city by chasing the floats."

"Really?"

Xiao E pulled Jin Feng's arm excitedly: "Then brother-in-law, let's go!"

She hasn't had enough fun these days, and she was just regretting that when she heard Jin Feng say this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"I won't go!"

Jin Feng was not interested in accompanying Xiao E to run around the city.

"Brother-in-law, just take me there, please."

Xiao E used her usual coquettish method to softly and hardly spit.

"Okay, okay, stop being bothered."

Jin Feng was so tired that he could not help. Seeing that the veterans were standing by the window watching the floats leave reluctantly, he shouted: "Iron Hammer, you can arrange for two people to take Xiao E out for a walk."

"Sir, I'll take Miss Xiao'e there."

Tiehui knew that Jin Feng had no plans to go out in the morning, so he quickly recommended himself.

"Okay, remember to come back for lunch."

Jin Feng reminded Xiao E and handed her to Tie Hammer.

I didn't sleep well last night, so I saw Xiao'e and Tie Hammer away, and Jin Feng yawned again and went back to sleep.

I slept until noon before I was shouted by Guan Xiaorou.

Xiao E has already returned. When she saw Jin Feng, she raised the candied haws like offering treasures.

"Brother-in-law, you see I bought candied haws. You can taste them, and they are delicious."

"No need, keep it for food."

Jin Feng stretched and got up in his shoes.

Dakang's sugar-making process is also very backward. There is always a strange smell on the candied haws, which Jin Feng is not used to.

After lunch, a group of people set out to rush to the river.

Fearing that he would be watched again when he went out, Jin Feng simply asked the hammer to drive out the carriage and hid in the carriage with Guan Xiaorou and others.

The open space by the river was surrounded by the government. As the venue for the courtesan competition, each person had to hand over three copper plates and the carriage had to hand over ten copper plates before they could get in.

After entering, some places with good locations will also charge additional money.

Even so, there were countless people coming to see the fun. The team in front of Jin Feng and the others lined up for dozens of meters long.

"It seems that the government is very attentive to this courtesan competition and has sent a lot of soldiers to maintain order."

Jin Feng glanced outside and sighed.

"Of course, the courtesan competition is held by the county town. The county town government will take away 70% of the money they earn. Of course, they will take care of it." Qing Mulan said with a lip.

"Can you still make money by holding a courtesan competition?" Guan Xiaorou asked, "How to make money?"

"The courtesan competition is when the candidates take turns to perform on the stage, and supporters buy flowers to give to her. Whoever receives more flowers in the end will be the courtesan of that year."

Qing Mulan explained: "And these flowers were purchased by the government, one or two taels of silver for a flower."

"What flowers are so expensive?"

"It's just the ordinary wild flower cereal outside, otherwise how can the government make money?"

Qing Mulan smiled and said, "I don't know about Guangyuan, but I know that in Xichuan, the government can earn at least a few thousand taels in the annual courtesan competition. If you encounter a wealthy support, it's hard to say, and it's possible to have tens of thousands of taels."

"This is too profitable!" Guan Xiaorou was shocked: "I can't spend tens of thousands of taels of silver in my life, right?"

"That's a person. If you want to raise a state capital, tens of thousands of taels will not be used." Qing Mulan said.

A few people chatted and arrived at the entrance.

Chunfeng Tower had already prepared a place for Jin Feng. When the servant at the entrance saw the hammer, he quickly trotted to greet him.

He glanced around and didn't see Jin Feng, and asked anxiously: "Brother Iron Hammer, where is Mr. Jin?"

"Where is in the car." Tie Hammer thrust his mouth.

The servant was relieved and trotted ahead and led the way, leading a group of people to a flat open space by the river.

The open space is close to the waterside, and ten meters away is the flower boat that holds the Flower Courtesan Competition, which is one of the best viewing locations.

Chunfenglou has high hopes for this year's Courtesan Competition, so he spent a lot of money to rent this place.

Behind the open space, there are also temporary tents.

Jin Feng got off the carriage and happened to see the madam from Chunfeng Tower leading a group of girls out of one of the tents.

"Oh, Mr. Jin, you are looking forward to it."

When the madam saw Jin Feng, she came forward enthusiastically: "The girls all miss you so much, and kept pestering me to ask you why you haven't come yet!"

Without the need for the madam's explanation, Yingying and Yanyan came up on their own initiative.

Fortunately, they also knew that this place was not Chunfeng Tower, so they didn’t dare to be too unrestrained, just greeted Jin Feng.

"Sir, it's very popular."

Qing Mulan lifted the curtain of the carriage and teased Jin Feng with a smile.

When Jin Feng heard this, he looked at Guan Xiaorou with some guilt.

Fortunately, Guan Xiaorou did not look angry, but looked at Yingying and Yanyan curiously like Runniang.

Only Tang Dongdong, the moment he lifted the door curtain, locked at Tang Xiaobei standing next to the madam at one glance.

Qing Mulan obviously felt Tang Dongdong's body tremble for a moment. When she turned her head, she saw that Tang Dongdong's eyes were already a little wet.

Tang Xiaobei on the opposite side performed much better, but he looked at Tang Dongdong deeply and forced himself to look away.

Qing Mulan secretly pinched Tang Dongdong and asked with a smile: "Sir, is this the girl from Chunfenglou? Which one is the famous Xiaobei girl?"

Although the trend of Dakang is that men are superior to women, there are exceptions in everything. If there are some families, women are strong and men are weak.

For example, a few years ago, there was a wealthy businessman in Guangyuan County who married the niece of the county magistrate. The wife relied on the power of her parents' family and became more powerful at home.

When the wealthy businessman was shopping in the brothel, the county magistrate's niece rushed into the brothel with his mansion soldiers and beat the two girls who were accompanying him to death.

Seeing that there were female relatives in the carriage, Yingying and Yanyan subconsciously took a step back and did not want to cause trouble.

When he heard Qing Mulan ask Tang Xiaobei, even the madam's eyes flashed with panic.

After spending many years in brothels, the madam has no other skills, but her vision of looking at people has been first-class.

Qing Mulan's clothes and jade pendants were obviously not cheap at first sight, and her tone was full of confidence, so she obviously didn't take Chunfenglou into consideration.

In just a moment, the madam made a judgment.

The girl in front of me can't afford to offend Chunfenglou.

Just as the madam was thinking about how to survive this crisis, Jin Feng spoke.
