He'er's head was like a chicken pecking rice and he nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Master, for saving you a lot of face, Miss. You were originally at the bottom."
Peony didn't care about this. She knew that she was the one who made up the numbers in tonight's flower selection. Regardless of beauty, talent, or fame, she couldn't compare to those at the top of the list, and she didn't care about her ranking at all.
He said softly: "It's not easy to thank you, Mr. Sir, for showing such great kindness. How can I repay you?"
Mudan knew that Mr. Xie did not have much money. Although the Tantai Mansion was rich, Mr. Xie was not the one in charge of the money. The situation was probably similar to that of Tantai Wenwang.
Peony was even more moved by such a grand gesture as a phoenix.
He'er responded: "Yes, Mr. Xie is still loyal and affectionate. Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhang didn't even give a shit. They promised to support the young lady tonight."
Peony smiled.
He'er groaned: "Miss, I almost forgot, it's time for you to perform on stage to thank me."
"This guy, he's trying to make me worse, so he wouldn't have appeared a long time ago."
Although she said this, Peony happily put on her gorgeous coat and hurried to the stage of Wanhua Garden with He'er.
This art needs to be presented, and this thanks needs to be answered.
"Lady Peony is here."
The appearance of peony caused the crowd to move from the front of the Song Pavilion to the front of the stage again.
Only now did Xie Fu take the time to wipe the sweat from his forehead. This is why he didn't want to admit that he was Li Shaodian.
Just like Pan An, he is chased and intercepted by a group of young ladies every time he goes out. Everyone envies Pan An, but they don't know Pan An's suffering.
The Peony Lady moved lightly onto the stage with lotus flowers. Among the twelve famous actresses, the Peony Lady was not considered outstanding, but at this moment, everyone felt that she was particularly bright.
Perhaps Lady Peony is the finale, or perhaps Lady Peony is supported by Li Shaodian.
As soon as Lady Peony stood firm, she looked towards the Song Pavilion and saw that Mr. Lu, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Lu and Mr. Xie had all arrived.
There was also Tantai Wenwang who raised his hand high and waved to her vigorously.
For some reason, Lady Peony's eyes turned red. As a brothel girl, she seemed to be in a good position and had no worries about food and clothing, but who knew the sadness behind it.
She was fortunate enough to get to know Mr. Xie, Mr. Lu, and Mr. Zhang. Not only did these three not bully others, they were also polite to her and treated each other with courtesy.
Although Second Young Master Lu is a lot more presumptuous, he is not annoying at all.
Also, she could get to know Tantai Wenwang. Although Tantai Wenwang was silly sometimes, he was devoted to her.
Lady Peony feels very lucky.
Lady Peony spoke in a voiceless voice: "Let me sing a song called "Shangxie"."
"Shangxie" belongs to Yuefu's "Dengchui Quci" and is a widely sung folk song.
Shangxie! I want to know you and live a long life.
There are no mausoleums in the mountains, the rivers are exhausted, thunders tremble in winter, rains and snows in summer, heaven and earth are united, so I dare to be with you.
The Peony Lady sings with full emotion and an unrestrained heart.
Regardless of singing skills or voice, Lady Peony is not the best among the twelve famous actresses.
But everyone can feel her passionate emotions.
In the songs and poems, the image of a woman with sincere love, strong determination, loyalty and passion emerges clearly.
Just like a child without any singing skills singing nursery rhymes, the simplest emotions from the heart will move you.
It was not a performance, but more like the sound of my heart. There were enthusiastic high-fives from the audience.
Lady Peony bowed deeply to express her gratitude, and then left the stage.
Xie Fu and others smiled, "Ms. Peony, we heard your voice."
Zhang Lingxiao smiled and said: "It's my turn to express my gratitude. Wu Yuandu is the Phoenix, so I have to be the Golden Dragon no matter what."
After saying that, he stood up and shouted in a clear voice: "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for giving Lady Peony a golden dragon!"
Everyone has heard it, and there is no need for Heather to declare it.
This golden dragon was more exciting than the previous one, and the audience cheered loudly: "Li Shaodian!"
Lady Peony stopped and looked towards the Song Pavilion again. When she saw the five high-spirited people, she couldn't help but smile knowingly, but her eyes became even redder, and tears finally escaped her eyes.
A golden dragon was placed on the table where Lady Peony belonged, and at the same time, a golden dragon firework exploded in the sky, illuminating the entire city of Suzhou again.
He'er murmured: "Miss, this golden dragon firework blooms for you. I never thought that you would have such a glorious day."
Mudan said lightly: "I plan to donate 10% of my income tonight, so that I can live up to the love and friendship of these young gentlemen."
He'er couldn't help but said: "Miss, it's almost two thousand taels."
The famous actresses only get 10% of the money spent on the flowers in the annual flower selection finals, 70% of the income goes to the Suzhou official treasury and is used for Suzhou's construction, and the remaining 20% is used for other distributions.
Zhang Lingxiao smiled and said: "Wenlin, I have expressed my feelings, do you have to express your feelings too?"
Lu Wenlin smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious? I haven't put in the incense yet."
This flower selection cannot be played out forever. According to tradition, at the last moment, an incense stick will be lit and placed in the center of the stage where everyone can see it, and it will burn out until the incense burns out.
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Don't be like this, it's almost enough, otherwise others will think I'm a rich man and kidnap me tomorrow."
The money was provided by Lu Wenling and the three of them, but he got the reputation. Fu Xie didn't want to take advantage of it.
How does Mr. Xie know what Lu Wenlin and Zhang Lingxiao are thinking? They just want to make Lady Peony the oiran lady tonight.
We just can't let Luo Chuzhuang or Keqin become the oiran's wife. Xuanzong and Dizong will not fight to the end. There is still room for discussion. Let's discuss it in the long term after tonight.
And their identities are sensitive and difficult to come forward, so Xie Fu is naturally the best representative.
After the Golden Dragon fireworks were set off, the stewards moved a copper tripod incense burner to the center of the stage, and Shi Nansheng, the flower selection host, inserted a large incense stick.
Finally, the incense sticks were placed. In the past, at this time, one dragon would determine the outcome, but tonight was special. Several golden dragon fireworks were set off, and the candidate for the Oiran had not been decided yet.
As soon as the incense was inserted firmly, Lu Wenlin shouted loudly: "Thank you, Master Xie, for giving me a golden dragon for Lady Peony!"
"Wow!"
Ten thousand taels were thrown out like this again. Now there are no words to express it, only a "Wow" and a shock.
Lu Wenlin smiled at Xie Fu and said, "Brother Xie, I will help you add fuel to the fire to scare them."
Xie Fu smiled bitterly and said: "When the time comes, remember to give me some money, otherwise the account will be settled on my head."
Lu Wenlin laughed loudly: "Brother, am I a deadbeat?"
Xie Fu turned to look at Zhang Lingxiao and asked, "What about you?"
Zhang Lingxiao said proudly: "If I default on my debt, you can come and take my head with your sword."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "I'm serious, Mr. Zhang's head is more than tens of thousands of taels."
The golden dragon fireworks bloomed in the sky again, and the huge shock wave caused the wine in the glass to ripple.
Zhu Donglai looked at the flow of wine and said with a proud smile: "Two fledglings, don't you think too much of an elder like me?"
"Send two golden dragons to Lady Keqin!"
Shi Nansheng quickly stepped onto the stage, his face excited and weird. Did Li Shaodian not know the situation in Suzhou and actually competed with Master Zhu?
If you see that it's good, then stop it, otherwise no matter how glorious you are tonight, your glory will come to an end.
Before Shi Nansheng's announcement, everyone in the audience saw two golden dragons placed on the table where Lady Keqin belonged, and everyone already understood what was going on.
"Master Zhu, who has made a living, gave Lady Keqin two golden dragon seats."
I don't know if he has held it in for too long, but Shi Nansheng was weak when he said this.
The audience was completely silent, with no excited cheers or applause. The silence was eerie, as if a sword had been pierced through the throat!
The generosity of the two golden dragons seems to have also seen Master Zhu's anger.
If you dare to go there again, you will not give Master Zhu face, and you will go against Master Zhu.
Lu Wenlin and Zhang Lingxiao's expressions were a bit ugly. In fact, they had just sent a signal to Zhu Donglai, but Zhu Donglai still acted like this.
This situation is like a negotiation, and Zhu Donglai's attitude is very tough.
When Xie Fu saw this, he smiled and said, "There is no money left."
Lu Wenlin said: "It's not that I don't have money, it's that...sigh."
Zhang Lingxiao smiled bitterly and said: "Master Zhu doesn't take us two seriously at all. If we continue, we will only make things worse."
Xie Fupo said meaningfully: "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. What you are afraid of is exactly what he is afraid of. It depends on who is more courageous."
Lu Wenlin said: "He is the leader of a clan after all."
Xie Fu laughed loudly: "He is the leader of a clan, and his every move should be a model. If a child punches you, can an adult hit you back directly?"
The two of them were suddenly enlightened. They felt that Xie Fu was a wonderful person, and they thought about it carefully.
The audience was silent for a long time before discussions started to break out.
Lu Wenlin and Zhang Lingxiao were undecided. They just kept looking at the slowly burning incense, hoping that the incense would burn slower to give them more time to think.
At this moment, Shi Nansheng appeared on the stage again. Everyone looked surprised, who was it?
Master Zhu? Or Mr. Ye, the financial backer behind Luo Chuzhuang?
Shinan has seen a lot of ups and downs in his life at this age, and now he can already sense the bloodshed behind tonight's flower selection.
All he could do now was follow the rules and do his job well. Without any excitement, he slowly said: "Master Weizhuang of Yashi Zhuang presented two golden dragon seats to Lady Chuzhuang."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and their first reaction was that Zhuang Wei was seeking death? Even your father would be scared to death when he met Mr. Zhu.
Previously, there was nothing wrong with you using an elegant plaque to support Lady Chu Zhuang, but now you are using two golden dragons to compete tit-for-tat with Lord Zhu, then...
No! Zhuang Wei doesn't have that much money, nor the ability. He is just a pretty boy.
Only Zhuang Wei's master, the daring and lawless Miss Zhang Er, could do such a thing.
Miss Zhang Er did not appear from the beginning to the end, but many people still grasped the key.
If it were Zhang Vale and Zhu Vale, there would still be a fight.
However, Mr. Zhu is the leader of a clan after all, and Miss Zhang Er is still a bit young compared to Mr. Zhu.
If you want to fight against Mr. Zhu as the representative of the Zhang clan, you should be Zhang Dagong, the legitimate eldest son of the Zhang clan.
Thinking of this, they all looked at Zhang Lingxiao in front of the railing of the chanting room. Seeing the indifferent expression on Mr. Zhang's face, they secretly thought that it must be Miss Zhang's personal behavior.
If someone offends Mr. Zhu, it must be a stupid thing. If Miss Zhang Er offends Mr. Zhu, it is probably just a matter of coming to apologize.
Thinking of this, the atmosphere actually relaxed.
Only Zhang Lingxiao knew how serious and bad things had become. The other party's attitude was very tough, and his and Lu Wenlin's plan fell through.
