It's okay if you don't pay attention to some things. The more you pay attention, the more thoughts you will have, and certain impressions will become more profound.
That's a very powerful woman.
The lights were flickering on and off, and the music was flowing and dancing on the stage. Gu Yanzhen looked at the scene over there and made an evaluation of the woman who was probably named Su Tan'er.
After inquiring about Ning Liheng before, it was natural to know that he was a surrogate son-in-law who entered the family of a merchant. I didn’t have much idea about his wife before, but now it seems that I have gradually begun to understand her.
He drew an outline, which was quite clear, because the image the other party showed really impressed him deeply.
At first glance, it may just be a beautiful and generous wife sitting there with her husband watching a play. Some ladies from high-ranking families, well-educated and knowledgeable, can also have such an image and temperament. However, it caused Gu Yanzhen
What you pay attention to is not just this, but the scene when the couple interacts with other people.
The people who came to talk to them almost all chose to face Ning Yi's wife first. The unlearned and unskilled Su brothers whom they had met before, and even other people who came and went, first of all were with her.
The wife spoke, and then she paid attention to the husband. Ning Liheng had rescued the Su brothers in the Wenmo Tower the day before yesterday. When they came over, the first thing they paid attention to was Su Tan'er. This woman is so powerful that they can do whatever they want.
It’s obvious.
In this regard, Gu Yanzhen is quite confident in his ability to recognize people. Many things in the past have actually proved his vision to some extent. In this world, it is very difficult for a woman to be powerful. It is very difficult to use this powerful side.
It is even more admirable to be so introverted to the extent that she is able to blend her seemingly gentle temperament with her strength. And looking at the harmonious atmosphere over there, it is obvious that this woman is also
In dominating everything, on the one hand, he maintains his own existence and the attention of others, on the other hand, he also cleverly takes into account the existence of the man around him, preventing this man from completely becoming a foil. His skill is really extremely clever.
This is a woman... Gu Yanzhen thought about this. If such a man became his opponent and won Yunzhu's heart, he might really have to be convinced, but relatively speaking, the man next to such a strong and outstanding woman
The man who serves as a foil...
It was impossible for him to pay attention to this matter for too long, and he would talk to the people next to him from time to time, applaud, etc. In the first round of performances, the four major banks did their best, and they all gave full play to their own strengths and characteristics.
Luo Miaomiao's colorful silk dance is colorful and magnificent, Yuan Jin'er's dance is smart and lively, Feng Xiaojing's dance of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix is still dignified and majestic, and at the end, Qilan's song reproduces the ancient dance of Confucius and Laozi asking questions, with wide sleeves in black clothes,
The charm is refined and elegant, dancing leisurely, and it really has the feeling of ink rhyme and fragrance, which brings out the bookish breath in her body to its highest point.
Among the four, Gu Yanzhen actually doesn't like Luo Miaomiao very much. Her singing and dancing are colorful and magnificent, which can have an impact on people at first sight, but in fact, she has insufficient background and is not as calm as the other three. When she chose her, actually
It was also because of what happened with Yunzhu. This colorful dance style is actually easy to write poems and solve themes. For him, it was just a perfunctory attitude. After the dance this time, he originally wanted to write a poem, but he didn't know
Why, after looking at Ning Yi's side, he didn't write anything in the end. Instead, he called the person next to him who was responsible for registering the number of flowers and bought five hundred flowers for Luo Miaomiao.
Five hundred flowers were five hundred taels of silver, which was quite a large expense for him, but since he didn’t write any poems, he simply gave it to him all at once. Soon after, it was time to thank the gifts, and some girls went up to have fun.
During the performance, when "Gu Yanzhen, Mr. Gu, sent five hundred flowers to everyone in Miaomiao" was read above, he also said some polite words to the people around him. On the other side, Su Tan'er seemed to wave and call people, and the number of pine flowers was on the stage.
The big wooden sign at the back is constantly being renovated, and those with more than a hundred flowers will be loudly announced, and then the sound can be heard.
"Master Ning Li Hengning gave Qilan and everyone two thousand flowers!"
When this sound came out, there was another wave of noise in the crowd, and two thousand flowers were sent out. This was indeed a staggering feat. Normally, these supporters would wait until all three dances were completed before taking action. Ning Liheng
The "Number One Talent" whose name sounds a little mysterious is talented and generous, and is enough to become a topic of conversation for a while. However, Gu Yanzhen understands that this is the handiwork of that woman, who did this for her husband-in-law at such a meeting.
Wait, under the gentle appearance of this woman, she is really frighteningly strong and confident.
He thought about the preserved egg thing. He could only invest a mere hundred taels now. Compared with the scene in front of him, what Ning Liheng did... was really childish and ridiculous.
Just as he was thinking about this, Shen Miao came over from the side and looked over there as well: "What a big deal... Yan Zhen had been looking there for a long time just now. Could it be that he was really interested in Ning Yi's talents?
If so, tonight's oiran banquet will be a real battle between dragons and tigers, and it will be a good show."
Gu Yanzhen was silent for a while and then laughed: "Brother Zishan, do you know who the man behind Yunzhu is?"
"Isn't it possible to check... eh?" Shen Miao reacted, "Could it be that... Ning Yi?"
"Oh, that's him."
"He...he is the son-in-law."
Gu Yanzhen remained silent with a smile but not a smile. Shen Miao laughed and shook his head.
"In this case, if this matter is exposed, wouldn't it be a good show? I wonder what Yan Zhen is thinking?"
Gu Yanzhen looked at him for a long time before finally sighing: "Brother Zishan, if this matter is exposed, what will happen next?"
"The couple may have a grudge in their hearts, but if it's serious, the powerful businessman's wife will definitely come to Miss Yunzhu's door. When the time comes... well, seeing as Yan Zhen seems to be reluctant, I think he still has the idea of pitying her.
, such an open-minded mind is admirable.”
Gu Yanzhen smiled and said, "I won't hide it from brother Zishan, but that's not the reason. Brother Zishan is right. At least it will cause a grudge, and at worst, he will go to Yunzhu's house to have a fight. But even so, even if it really makes a fuss
In the end, there was no talk. You and I may have watched a show. But brother Zishan, do you think I will get the Yunzhu in this way?"
"Well……"
"Those who work for big things should not stick to trivial matters. When I act, I should not be confused by the minutiae and face my true heart. Even if I do this kind of thing, I will not get anything in the end. Instead, it will be spread and criticized by others. I don't bother to do it.
Of……"
Although his words were full of arrogance, his tone was modest at this time. He pondered for a while and accepted the instruction. Gu Yanzhen smiled and changed the subject, looked at the singing and dancing on the stage, and talked about it. The lights were blurry, but he also looked around.
That Shen Miao.
Shen Zishan is just a vulgar person. He is a scholar and cannot achieve great things...
"Two thousand flowers, that's a big deal."
When the man on the stage said that Ning Liheng sent two thousand flowers, Ning Yi shook his head in a funny way. During the discussion, everyone showed an attitude that it had nothing to do with me. Not many people really knew him anyway. But
Turning his head, Pu Yang Yi was coming over from the other side, showing an appreciative attitude.
"I don't know much about poetry. I just wanted to give my husband face, so I gave her money. That's what happened."
Su Tan'er lowered her head, spoke gently and calmly, and smiled cutely. Ning Yi naturally knew what the reason was, and he laughed a few words. It was impossible for the couple to know that there was a guy named Gu Yanzhen on the side of the venue.
He was staring here to see what was going on. On the side of the stage, Yuan Jin'er was slightly stunned when he heard the news about the two thousand flowers, and opened his eyes angrily, and then complained to Nie Yunzhu.
"Sister Yunzhu, he bullies others!"
"Oh, it's obviously the flowers sent by his wife, so what does it have to do with him."
"I don't care, I'm bullying people just because I have money... I won't help sell preserved eggs later." After getting sulky for a while, he dragged Su Tan'er to the dressing room, "Sister Yunzhu, I want to dress up again.
Take a moment and dance better later to save face."
Although I have no intention of competing with the oiran, face is a big deal, so I still have to fight for it.
However, after all, I had no intention of competing for the oiran before, and the performances arranged were mainly based on duty. No matter how serious I was at this time, there was not much that could be changed in the final result. The competition continued, with magnificent singing and dancing, and different styles.
At the end of the last round, Qilan's song and dance called Shushan Mohai surpassed all the others - although the Puyang family was behind it, the Puyang family was most concerned about reputation these days, so Qilan's song and dance clearly put a lot of effort into it.
After this song, Puyang Yi finally and legitimately sent fifteen thousand flowers to the woman in flowing white clothes on the stage to the position of oiran.
Some people, like Su Tan'er, had actually expected this result. However, the Puyang family waited for two years before doing this. It can be regarded as a very measured move. What can be expected will basically not be too big.
Opinion. Tonight's singing and dancing was also good to watch. Although it was a little shorter than the previous two days, there was a grand oiran banquet as the aftertaste. This banquet is a custom after the oiran competition. It is hosted by the prefect and the four major industries.
The first performance is to reward everyone who has supported the Oiran Competition in the past three days. The four major leaders will also prepare elaborate dances to perform on it. The Shilin business community will sit together, and it will often become a good story after that.
Gu Yanzhen spent the whole night subconsciously looking for Nie Yunzhu's whereabouts, but could not find it. It was not until he went to the banquet with Shen Miao that he accidentally saw a figure on the side of the hall. The figure was dressed as a servant, probably...
Mixing among the servants, he was hiding behind a tree outside the palace as if he was expecting something. He was so familiar with this figure that Gu Yanzhen recognized him at a glance.
After entering the banquet, he suddenly understood what the figure was waiting for outside.
"I can't believe... Miss Yunzhu has brought her business to this place so quickly..."
Shen Miao sighed slightly. In this oiran banquet, it turned out that there were some shelled preserved eggs placed in the center of each table. The pattern during the period was like and crystal clear. In the past two months, although the preserved egg business is still there,
She continued to expand, but Nie Yunzhu kept a low profile and hired some people to help, but apart from meeting the needs of supplying various restaurants, there were not many new actions. It seemed that starting from this night, she was finally ready to open the business.
Already.
If that woman had come to this banquet in the past, she would have been at least a guest of honor. Even if the oiran was not a low-key person, she would actually feel like a star holding the moon. But now she is hiding outside like a servant for such things. , watching the people inside cheering and mingling, looking forward to such a small business... I don’t know if they have seen me now...
Suddenly he remembered what happened this afternoon. He was not very interested in the preserved eggs. The business of less than one hundred taels seemed boring. But when he saw the expectant look on his face, he was a little dumbfounded. This was really What a coincidence. I wonder what it will be like for her to make a wedding dress for someone else tomorrow after spending so much effort to make a good start today. She is full of joyful expectations.
I, Gu Yanzhen, don't care about this pitiful little revenge... He told himself so. But it would still be interesting to meet him by chance.
So he smiled at Shen Miao and said: "This thing looks interesting, but in fact the process may not be that complicated. It has been a few months now. I am willing to bet Brother Zishan ten taels of silver. In less than half a month, there will be something on the market." When this imitation of preserved eggs appeared, she put in a lot of effort, fearing that she would end up marrying someone else... The shopping mall is like a battlefield, it's not that simple."
Theoretically speaking, if this bet is to be won, it only needs to wait until tomorrow. If it is to be lost, it will definitely take half a month to prove it. The two sat down and talked and laughed, and then did not take the matter to their minds. However, it seemed that they were secretly There was a certain existence that had strangled this idea to death a long time ago. Just a quarter of an hour later, Gu Yanzhen discovered with some gloominess that he had lost the ten taels of silver in advance...
