Chapter 441 Su Xue everyone
.When all the big names were left, the president of the brothel guild announced the beginning of the conference. This made Chen Si quite appreciate it, at least it did not lead to resignation that was extremely disappointing.
What replaced the bad thing was a cannon on the lake, which led all people's eyes to the center of the lake.
While people were still at a loss, they could only hear screams piercing through the night sky. With bursts of exclamations, fireworks shot into the sky and bloomed like chrysanthemums in a blink of an eye. For a moment, half of the night sky was colorful and beautiful, so beautiful that it made people forget their breathing.
It was the first time that Chen Si had seen such a grand firework. He regretted it and did not bring Ruohan with him.
However, in this era, the cost of setting off fireworks was extremely high. Even the Suzhou brothel world, which was not short of money, could only set off for half a quarter of an hour. In such a short time, thousands of taels of silver flowed out like water...
Half a quarter of an hour later, the fireworks dissipated and looked at the traceless night sky. People were reluctant to bow their heads for a long time, as if they were savoring the gorgeous spring dream just now. This is also the shortcoming of the fireworks. The more shocking the moment, the more regretful it makes people.
But when they lowered their heads and looked at them, the regrets in their hearts immediately disappeared, and replaced by excitement, extremely excited!
Because the flower boats that had been deliberately gathering and gathering in the middle of the lake lit up the thousands of lights on the boat when no one noticed it - the beautiful and chaotic flower boats that were decorated were displayed in front of everyone in detail.
I saw the river surface as bright as daylight, and the colorful flowers on the boat were reflected again. On the water surface, accompanied by the rippling waves of the lake, the colors were unpredictable, making people even more dazzling.
Only when the flower boats were approaching, the audience saw clearly that although these boats were all exquisite and gorgeous, they also had their own themes. For example, that one decorated their own flower boats like a big garden... Peony, peony, camellia, magnolia, and various lanterns created a scene of blooming flowers. A graceful woman in a goose-yellow palace dress stood in it, looking at her. People couldn't help but think of the spring when the orioles were singing and dancing, and the bees were flying, and a concubine came to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers and spring.
There are also those who decorate the flower boats into a bird garden, with weeping willows and trees all over the trees. There are various bird lamps hanging in the gold-hanging "woods". In the most eye-catching place, there is a woman wearing a dark green peacock feather dress standing tall, as if listening to the birds chirping and singing a song "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix".
It turns out that the theme of the flower boat is not the craftsmen as they please, but to cooperate with the characteristics of the beauties participating in the meeting to complement each other and shine. If they do it, they will definitely add points before the formal performance, and they can also cover up the original shortcomings, or even turn them into advantages. For example, the garden of the Hundred Flowers is because the girl is plump and looks a bit at a disadvantage among the petite and delicate beauties. But after the scene of "The Imperial Concubine Appreciating Peonies", it makes people feel that she is the embodiment of the four beauties. It should be so plump, and the shortcomings are transformed into advantages.
The other families also had the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, showing their magical powers. Some of them had to decorate the flower boat into the Yaochi. Needless to say, the beauties dressed up as the seven fairies; some of them decorated into the beautiful West Lake, but they didn't know whether the beauties in their family were Su Xiaoxiao or Bai Suzhen, but they failed.
Wait, wait, and there are many things, which feasted the audience and also sniffed people's appetite.
As everyone expected, the first flower boat, the "Yang Guifei" Xiao Cuixian, appeared.
The little Cuixian was indeed a very beautiful woman. She had a charming smell in her every move and frown and smile. Her gorgeous skirt was like rainbows, and her whole body was decorated with garlands, and the crown was also extremely gorgeous. It was called a staircase crown... As the name suggests, the crown would sway with the pace, which would make people feel itchy and hard to scratch.
She was the runner-up of the previous session and had a great reputation. This can be seen from the constant cheers she had attracted as soon as she came on stage. For this year's courtesan, Xiao Cuixian and her boss were also sure to win. She stood on the stage and introduced herself to earn a set of music scores, dances, and even clothing for "Niang Shang and Feather Dance". She practiced in seclusion for more than half a year, striving to perfectly reproduce the first dance of the Tang Dynasty, which was composed by Li Longji, choreographed by Yang Guifei and led the dance.
People's appetites were naturally raised high, and the scene quickly stopped noisy, and everyone looked at the stage quietly. After reading books, people with more tastes wanted to see whether this song "Dance of the Rainbow Dress" can show the vague and ethereal image of a fairyland and fairy a thousand years ago, and whether it can be as good as it was a thousand years ago.
Even if the ordinary people who don’t understand what the “raincoat dance” is, they also know the moving story of Emperor Ming of Tang stripping Yang Guifei, so they are very excited. They want to see what dance this inappropriate emperor couple will do... it is probably a erotic dance? Everyone thought so.
Fortunately, Xiao Cuixian couldn't hear everyone's thoughts, and she called her to dance on stage without any influence, surrounding herself in the center like stars holding the moon. Seeing her posture, everyone widened their eyes and held their breath, fearing that they would miss every picture.
When she heard a sound of cloud board, she gently opened her red lips and sang: "The sky was deep and the night was not yet close, and the blue clouds and fairies danced in the colorful clothes; a jade flute turned to the sky, and the moon was full of the moon and the palace was leaking..." When she chanted the last sentence, the music gradually rose, with elegant lyricism and elegance, neither fast nor slow, and was played by instruments such as chimes, flutes, zithers, and flutes. The performers on the stage did not dance or sing.
When people were immersed in lyrical music, they finally saw the self-pitying dancer moving. The silk sleeves were relaxed and the delicate body turned, leading the women to dance the colorful dance that has been passed down through the ages.
She only heard her singing and sing: "The silk sleeves are moving and fragrant, and the red robe is swaying in the autumn smoke. The wind suddenly sways on the light clouds, and the tender willow pond is blowing in the water." Accompanied by the singing, her figure sways, gradually leaping like the wind, which is dazzling.
The music became faster and faster, and her dance became faster and faster! The sound was erect and the music was sonorous, and the dance posture also "rottling back to the light snow, and the dragon was shocked." At that moment, she had completely transformed into the shocking Yang Guifei, who was perfectly integrated with this colorful dress and feather dance!
Until the music gradually slowed down, her dancing posture also slowed down. "The willows were weak after hanging down their hands, and when the clouds were about to grow when they dragged their skirts slanted, she finally stopped with her back to the audience. Just when everyone was reluctant to leave, she saw her "look back and smiled and charming", and suddenly felt that the "the pink and white palaces of the six palaces were infatuated for a while, and then she tried her best to applaud.
Xiao Cuixian's performance was extremely successful, and this could be clearly felt from the long-lasting applause of the crowds. Then several famous scholars discussed and sent a representative to the stage to comment, saying that she was "the dance was gorgeous and elegant, pleasing to the eye" and so on... If it were the Tang Jieyuan era, a few recognized candidates were selected from the voices of the masses, and then a few famous scholars could taste it, and a candidate for the courtesan could be produced.
But now it is not possible. Whether it is the voice of the masses or the comments of famous scholars, they can only be regarded as a reference. Now there is only one standard for ranking, that is, the number of gold flowers obtained by beauties. The obvious statement is that there is no quantitative standard, and the results of the selection are often controversial. In fact, everyone knows that this is just to make money by changing ways, because you have to pay one or two golds for a golden flower, and all the money is paid by the rich man sitting in the front row!
One tael of gold is equal to eight taels of silver, and one golden flower is enough to have a comfortable and comfortable family for a season.
As the famous scholars such as Gui Youguang shook their heads and sighed with a "moment of the world is getting worse and the hearts of the people are not as good as ever", the flowers have already begun. This one gives eight flowers and the other gives ten flowers, and nearly one hundred flowers have been accumulated in a short while. Of course, this is not the final result. If the beauties behind get more golden flowers than her, then her supporters can continue to add them, without limiting the number of times and quantity!
It can be seen that the organizers are very clear about people's mentality of competing and showing off their wealth, and know that as long as they compete, it is not uncommon for these old men to throw out their money.
Sure enough, as the beauties behind came on stage to compete for beauty and each other showed their strengths, the number of gold flowers counted also rose steadily. After two hours, although Xiao Cuixian was still ranked first, the number of gold flowers had exceeded 2,000. However, the leading advantage was not obvious. Liu Hanyan, Yun Xianer, and Lu Liuqing had many fans, and they all got 1,000. It seems that they had to wait for the last competition to get the result!
According to previous years' experience, the number of flowers given in the last round will double on the current basis. Because many people who are consciously qualified will take action in the end so that they can be regarded as a decisive person.
The four beauties stood in the audience with a smile, but their eyes were full of fierce murderous aura, and they wanted to kill the other party.
At this time, the president of the brothel guild and the host of the conference whispered on the stage: "Are there any more people on the stage? If not, the preliminary results will be counted now..." Although there is an registration form in hand, many brothels and beauties who have signed up will retreat after watching the performance of the people in front of them and do not want to humiliate themselves, so he is not sure if anyone else wants to participate.
He asked twice again. Just as the performance was about to be announced, a commotion suddenly came from the lake, which quickly attracted everyone to cross the Yaotai and look at Jinji Lake. He saw that there was a lot of leisure in the lake, like spring returning to the earth, with flowers like brocade, hummingbirds leaping, and the world shining brightly; sometimes, like the wind returning to the snow, changing to the world, the scenery in everyone's eyes was bleak, ruined walls, and the flowers were withered, and the willows were withered, and the mood was also depressed.
At this time, she heard her lightly opening her red lips, and her voice sang like a yellow oriole: "It turns out that the colorful purples and reds are blooming everywhere, and it seems that they are all given to the broken wells and dilapidated walls. What is the sky? Whose courtyard is enjoyable? The morning and evening rolls, the clouds and green pavilions, the rain and wind, the smoke and waves painted boats. The people in the Jinping look so cheap, and the people in the Jinping look so cheap..."
The lyrics seemed to be sung by Shen Mo that day, but compared to his unrestrained singing style, it was a hundred times stronger. Obviously, after being re-arranged by Miss Su Xue, in the atmosphere without a big gong and drum, the form of a cappella can be clear and distant, and the melody is more beautiful and beautiful. It can be seen that peonies must be worn by beauties and cannot be given to the old cow!
After many twists and turns, when she sang "I am as beautiful as a flower, as the passing years." When she was silent, she was drunk on the day of silence and did not sing any further. Su Xue supplemented the lyrics with her super musical literacy, and then she continued to sing: "But I only regret that the young man was full of gratitude, and the tears were wet. At that time, the sisters clearly said, don't live with him sincerity. Think carefully, can you understand the truth?"
...
The song ends, and the lingering sound is lingering.
Applause? Without applause, it’s not that it’s not worthy, but that’s really impossible. People are reluctant to speak for a long time, for fear of falling out of the sad and beautiful mood, leaving endless regrets. This time, even the most vulgar people grew up their mouths and felt the indescribable touch.
After a long time, bursts of thunderous applause rang out, and it took a long time to resolutely. It was not until Su Xue and others had to go back to the stage and then they stopped for a while.
Su Xue had to play another song, and the audience was unwilling to let her go, so she returned for three consecutive games before giving up. Looking at the number of golden flowers she got, it had exceeded 10,000!
The gap cannot be bridged, and the final decisive battle is meaningless, but the president of the brothel guild was still so happy that he couldn't stop. Su Xue and his wife had already overcome everything. What else can I regret?
This year's courtesan fell on Su Xue's head without any dispute, and Xiaoxiang Tower also won a plaque of "The Courtesan's Courtesan" and a bonus of 30,000 taels of silver.
Then there is the award of the courtesan's crown... According to convention, it has always been awarded by Lord Zun of the Mansion. At the invitation of everyone, he came on stage silently and happily. He was still honored to be able to sing his own song to win the championship.
Chapter completed!
