Zhao Mengyue said that today, Fengyue Tower and Lanjiang Tower each have several top names, which can be described as stunning. The top talent from Fengyue Tower is 15 years old, named Liu Yiyi. According to Zhao Mengyue
, Liu Yiyi’s dancing skills are the best in the world. She is proficient in all kinds of dances at a young age and is good at everything. It is said that she is as light as a swallow and can do palm dance. Last year’s New Year’s Eve, a wealthy man from Jiangning spent a lot of money
To see her hand dance, you have to decide whether it is real or not. Liu Yiyi actually performed it once, standing on the big hand of the wealthy businessman like a golden bird and standing on one foot, which amazed everyone. It is said that the wealthy businessman paid less money
, if the money offered is more, Liu Yiyi can also dance a song on his palm. After that, the rumors were confirmed, and Liu Yiyi's life became famous all over the country, and he was vaguely the leader of Jiangning's flower world.
Lanjiang Tower also had a top star named Zheng Nuanyu. Her appearance changed Lanjiang Tower's reputation of being all-inclusive but not good. Not only was this girl extremely beautiful, but she also had profound attainments in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is said that the Great Zhou Dynasty
Zhao Ziyue, the number one national player, came to Jiangning to play, and no master in Jiangning's chess world was his opponent. But in the Lanjiang Tower, Zheng Nuanyu proposed to play a game of chess with Zhao Ziyue. Zhao Ziyue thought it was a child's play, so he immediately let his six chess players play chess. Who knew?
At the end of the meal, everyone was killed and the whole game was lost. Zhao Ziyue refused to believe it, so he let the two men fight again, and the result was still the same. In the end, Zhao Ziyue did not dare to be too big, and the two sides played chess fairly. The game lasted more than three hours, starting from noon.
When it got dark, Zheng Nuanyu made a mistake, and Zhao Ziyue won by half a piece.
This game caused a sensation in Jiangning Mansion. When Zhao Ziyue left Jiangning, he sighed: "From now on, I don't dare to come to Jiangning with the name of the number one national player in the Zhou Dynasty. A woman from a brothel can make me do anything. We know that there is a sky outside the world, and there are people outside the world."
.”
This is not the most surprising thing. What is even more surprising is that someone later reviewed the game and found that in the middle of the game, Zheng Nuanyu had several opportunities to intercept the dragon, but did not make a move. With Zheng
Judging from Nuanyu's chess skills, she should not be able to miss these opportunities. She probably wanted to save face for Zhao Ziyue. After all, the purpose of a brothel is to entertain customers rather than humiliate people. Zheng Nuanyu also did the same.
Think about it, so be merciful.
A good person once asked Zheng Nuanyu for confirmation, but Zheng Nuanyu smiled and said nothing and did not answer. However, this non-answer was just a disguised admission.
When Lin Jue heard these situations introduced by Zhao Mengyue, his whole body felt as if a ladle of cold water had been poured on him. If what Zhao Mengyue said is true, then Liu Yiyi from Fengyue Tower really has palm dancing skills. Although Gu Panpan from Qunfang Pavilion has dancing skills,
Exquisite, but hard to match. According to what Zhao Mengyue said, Zheng Nuanyu from Lanjiang Tower should be a woman with a superior IQ. Zhao Mengyue only told a story about her chess skills. In Zhao Mengyue's introduction,
She is an all-rounder who is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, and poetry. With her chess skills so good, her other talents should also be good. In that case, who can match her?
However, Lin Jue also had some doubts in his heart. Although Liu Yiyi's palm dance is amazing, it is still a skill that can be practiced. After all, palm dance seems difficult, but in fact, it only requires the dancer to master the balance and be light.
As long as the person lifting the lift is strong enough, it is actually not difficult to do it. On Earth, Lin Jue has long seen some superb acrobatic performances, including the skill of a woman dancing on a man's shoulders and arms. However, this Zheng Nuan
How did Yu develop his skills? She has reached a very high level in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and song. At the age of Zheng Nuanyu, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old brothel girl, she might be able to achieve something by studying one or two things. There are so many
If you can get the best in every item, isn't that a genius? Such things inevitably arouse people's doubts.
But the problem now is that only the two brothels in Jiangning Prefecture have such strength, and the strength of the brothel in Yangzhou Prefecture is not yet known. In addition, they have invited so many helpers to help, the outcome of this Southeast Oiran Competition may be
Already ready to come out.
Lin Jue was very anxious. Although he said that he only tried his best and didn't care about winning or losing, in his heart, Lin Jue didn't want to fail. No one wanted to bear the feeling of failure, let alone in this big scene. Just like the prince
As the young prince said, since all the court officials are involved this time, the political meaning of this oiran contest is actually very strong. It gives people the impression that the battles between the factions in the court cannot be shown clearly, so they use various means to
This opportunity is used to attack the opponent without breaking the skin. Just like the Guishan Island incident, a force in the court did not want to see the palace and Yan Zhengshu being proud of their success, so they suppressed the Guishan Island incident.
Gao Muqing's Guishan Island cottage became a victim in the middle. In this Oiran competition, Lin Jue also smelled the same atmosphere.
If this is another political battle taking advantage of the three-city competition for the oiran, then Lin Jue has no reason to let it fail. Not for the sake of King Liang and Yan Zhengshen, but for the sake of everyone on Guishan Island.
Although we cannot seek justice for them, we can at least give them a big slap in the face through this Oiran Competition and teach them a lesson.
Although Lin Jue had always warned himself not to take sides, especially the Liang Prince's Mansion, which had fallen early in the previous life, and it would be embarrassing to follow them. But now, he found that he was involuntarily siding with Liang Prince. The situation in all aspects seemed to be
They all force themselves to stand with Prince Liang's Mansion, which seems to be a fate.
Lin Jue had no time to worry about whether to stand in line at the moment. Now that he had the idea of winning, things became very difficult. After returning from Wangyue Tower, the sun sets and the moon rises in the east until the full moon sets in the west at midnight.
, Lin Jue has been pacing back and forth in the yard thinking about countermeasures.
Lu Wu felt very distressed, but apart from refilling the tea later and bringing two stacks of snacks to satisfy Lin Jue's hunger, she couldn't do anything to help the young master. She didn't dare to disturb the young master in the yard, so she only made some tea.
After tea, she returned to her room, lifted up the bed gauze and held her chin, looking at the figure of the young master slowly walking back and forth in the yard. She really hoped that she could help the young master solve all his problems, but she knew that she could not help him with anything.
The only thing I could do was to look at the young master tenderly and silently accompany him in his suffering.
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Jue went to the boat shop and then went directly to Prince Liang's Mansion. The little princess had already dressed up and was waiting for Lin Jue. We met yesterday and today we will officially prepare for the Oiran Competition. We have spent so much time and only have time left.
It's been two days.
The two left the palace and, at Lin Jue's suggestion, first went to the shore of the West Lake to see how the water stage was being set up. On the way, Lin Jue told the little princess about the two top brothels in Jiangning Mansion that he had learned from Zhao Mengyue.
After hearing this, the little princess opened her mouth in astonishment and felt a chill in her heart. However, the little princess quickly didn't care, because she didn't care about the oiran's victory or defeat this time. If she lost, she would lose.
That's okay.
The two came to the east bank of the Yongjinmen West Lake, which was under martial law. In order to ensure the normal progress of the preparations, the Hangzhou Xiang soldiers and some soldiers from the Ning Navy had been on duty here two days ago. Lin Jue and the little princess naturally
The passage was unimpeded. The Ning navy soldiers naturally knew Lin Jue, and the palace guards brought by the young princess were also familiar with the leaders of the defenders. Instead of being verbose, they greeted them respectfully.
The two came to the lake shore outside the city wall. The lake shore was now piled with wood, bamboo, reed mats and other items. Boats were coming and going to transport these materials to the lake for the purpose of building a floating platform. This time it was said to be the Southeast Oiran Competition, but in fact
It is the three-city competition for hegemony between Jiangning Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture and Hangzhou Prefecture. In order to highlight the atmosphere of the three-city competition for hegemony, the three cities do not share a stage this time. Instead, each of the three cities sends their own personnel to build their own stage in a designated area on the water.
The three floating platforms, plus the floating grandstand where the judges and officials will sit, require a lot of materials. The scale of construction is several times higher than in previous years.
Under the autumn sun, on the water on the east bank of the West Lake, three stages are arranged in a semicircle a hundred steps apart on the water. Although the stage has not yet taken shape, the pattern can be basically seen. The water stage of Hangzhou Prefecture is in the middle.
The location is also because it is the host. The one in Yangzhou Prefecture is in the south and the one in Jiangning Prefecture is in the north. The stage construction this time still follows the previous style, with a giant floating platform built on the water and then decorated separately.
Lin Jue took the little princess by boat to the lake, and slowly approached the stage built by Hangzhou Mansion. The stage had already taken shape, and the surrounding ships and craftsmen were transporting pieces of wood to reinforce it. The stage was densely packed up and down.
It's full of people. According to this progress, it should be completed today.
"Who is responsible for setting up this stage? The government or the various brothels?" Lin Jue asked.
The little princess had done a lot of homework yesterday. In order to assist Lin Jue in his work, she also called many people involved to get to know each other, and she had an idea in her mind.
"Originally, if it was my oiran competition in Hangzhou, all the youth houses would sign up to jointly fund it, and then hire people to build it. The prefect's yamen was only responsible for maintaining order, and no idlers were allowed to enter and disturb the progress. They would not pay for it.
Work. This year, due to the upgrade of the Oiran Competition, all the youth houses in Hangzhou have given up participating because they know their own disadvantages, so only Wanhualou and Qunfangge participated. This floating platform is also produced by Wanhualou and Qunfangge.
Money." The little princess looked at Lin Jue with a smile and replied.
The little princess looked more and more beautiful today, and the skin on her face was crystal clear, showing a healthy red color. Yesterday's moisturizing made her look radiant, she was in a very good mood, and she spoke crisply and beautifully.
Lin Jue nodded and said: "I understand, it is a wise move for other families not to participate. It is just a waste of manpower and money. Since it is the money provided by Wanhualou and Qunfang Pavilion, it is easy to handle. Wei'er, I want you to give the order immediately
, tell them to stop building this floating platform."
The little princess was startled and said: "Why is that? It needs to be completed today, decorated tomorrow, and put into use tomorrow night."
Lin Jue took out a stack of square pieces of paper from his arms, put it on his knees and unfolded it. It turned out to be a large piece of paper several feet long and wide. On the paper, a figure similar to an attic was outlined with fine ink, marked with
There are various figures and disassembly diagrams of the structure, and the blank spaces are densely marked with comments in small regular script.
"What is this?" the little princess asked in surprise.
"This is the structural diagram of the new stage that I drew last night. It took me more than an hour. I want you to immediately order someone to rebuild the floating platform according to this diagram. I know it is a bit late, but we must fight if we want to win.
A handful of craftsmen will be mobilized and the construction must be completed within one day." Lin Jue said solemnly.
"You...didn't you say you were doomed to lose? Why do you have to spend so much effort again?" Guo Caiwei said in surprise.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "I said do your best. If you don't do your best, then you give up. That's not my style."
"But……"
"I know what you are going to say. Are you trying to say that winning or losing has nothing to do with building a floating platform? Then you are wrong. Sometimes you have to find your own way. If your talent and ability are lacking, you have to make up for it in other aspects.
Only then can we save the defeat. Just like last year's Oiran competition, Xie Yingying was completely inferior to Gu Panpan and Chu Xiangxiang in terms of talent, but she still won the Oiran title. This is proof." Lin Jue said with a smile.
"I understand, the new stage you designed must have some tricks in it. It will surely amaze everyone when the time comes." Guo Caiwei said with a smile. "It's smart, but it may not be able to amaze everyone. I can only say that everyone
Everything must be perfect in all aspects to make up for some shortcomings. For example, if a woman's appearance is not good, she needs to match it with makeup and clothing. This can double her beauty. As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes, makeup, and a horse relies on his saddle. This is it.
The truth. Of course, a person as stunning as Wei'er doesn't have to do anything deliberately. She can wear an ordinary t-shirt and skirt and look like a gorgeous dress. If she is strong enough, she doesn't have to do this, but the problem is that she doesn't have to do this now.
If you are not sure of crushing your opponent, you can only think of some make-up strategies."
Guo Caiwei chuckled and said: "You do know how to praise others. But I understand what you mean. You are afraid that your opponent is really talented and Gu Panpan and Chu Xiangxiang cannot compare with them. So you have to use external means to make up for it.
.For example, the lights, screens, sounds, scenes, etc. that are commonly used in your grand theater may be able to suppress the opponent in terms of overall effect.”
Lin Jue raised his thumb and praised: "Smart, only Wei'er can understand these words. How much more words would I have to spend on someone else to understand them? Although this is a bit of a waste of time, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Now we only have
If Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan can do something, they can only try their best to make up for it."
Guo Caiwei was so praised by Lin Jue that her heart was filled with sweetness. Ai Lang's words were more effective than any sweet words. It meant that she was his confidant in his heart, and no one else could understand him. This was the highest compliment.
"Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan will be so angry that they won't be able to eat for three days after hearing what you said. They are not useless. If you hadn't come out to disrupt the situation last year, would Xie Yingying be able to compete with them?" Guo Caiwei said with a smile.
Lin Jue smiled and said, "That's all I said. That's all. Time is tight. You can mobilize some craftsmen immediately. I have to explain the principles of this stage to these craftsmen. I hope they can understand my intention and don't make any mistakes."
"
Guo Caiwei no longer delayed, and immediately sent an order from the guards back to the palace, urgently summoning the palace craftsmen to help. Lin Jue also stepped onto the floating platform to stop the craftsmen, summoned the leading craftsmen, unfolded the drawings, and introduced the details of the new stage.
Where are the functions and mechanisms. When the craftsmen leaders heard that the almost-completed floating platform was going to be scrapped and built a new one, they were very dissatisfied. But after looking at Lin Jue’s drawings and Lin Jue’s detailed introduction, they suddenly understood
Change.
Just like a glutton who can't move forward when he sees delicious food, a person who is good at poetry and essays is impressed by the good poems and words, a person who is obsessed with calligraphy can't extricate himself when he sees famous calligraphy, and a lustful person becomes lustful when he sees a stunning beauty.
Although craftsmen and others have a low status, they actually rely on their skills and abilities to make a living. They also want to build a stunning building on their own, not necessarily because they want to become famous, but maybe just a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. When Lin
After Jue introduced the mechanism and functions of this stage in detail, these craftsmen were all impressed with their skills and couldn't restrain themselves. If it is true as Mr. Lin said, then this floating platform will be shocking to the world after it is built.
And if something like this comes from your own hands, it will be a great achievement.
Besides, Mr. Lin has promised to mobilize more people to help, and the craftsmen are all eager to try. Lin Jue told them that if they don’t understand anything, they can ask at any time, and he will leave someone here to contact him, and he will know the key points.
Come in person.
In fact, for the craftsmen, Lin Jue's worries are really unnecessary. They are all experienced craftsmen, but there are some things they can't think of. Once someone points out the direction, they have nothing to worry about the specific operation. As long as the principle is not revealed
The problem is, there is no problem with their construction at all.
At the beginning of the year, in the surprised eyes of the two surrounding floating platform craftsmen, more than two hundred craftsmen demolished the floating platform used for oiran performances in Hangzhou Prefecture, and then started to rebuild it. These people thought it was Hangzhou
The craftsmen in Hangzhou made a mistake. The floating platform that had been built for several days seemed unusable, so they had to tear it down and start over. They were ridiculed loudly. But the craftsmen in Hangzhou Prefecture had no time to take care of this. They
Under the command of several old craftsmen, they began to rebuild the floating platform according to Lin Jue's drawings without any distractions.
Lin Jue and the little princess watched for a while, then drove the boat back to the shore and just boarded the car to enter the city when a servant of Wanhua Tower found them on the street. The servant panted and reported that Wanhua Tower and Qunfang Pavilion were
The two girls were anxious to invite Mr. Lin to discuss matters, so they waited early in the morning until now.
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said to the little princess: "I originally planned to take you to Wangyue Tower, but now it seems that I can only go to their place first."
The little princess asked: "Why are you going to Wangyue Tower?"
Lin Jue said: "I asked Wangyue Tower to help prepare the lighting scenery and glass slides. I want to take a look, but I'm afraid they won't understand what I mean."
The little princess said happily: "Are you going to use those methods in the Grand Theater?"
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Of course, all available forces must be mobilized. As I said, if you want to win, you need to do everything possible. Fortunately, I put a lot of effort into the layout of the Grand Theater before, so the staffing can be used easily this time.
But the cost of these artificial materials will be charged to your palace."
The little princess said angrily: "Are you still settling these accounts with me? You are a stingy man. After all, you are also a member of the Lin family's big family. You are also a big boss."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "That's not my money, I'm a pauper. Of course, if you don't give it, there's nothing I can do."
The little princess smiled and said: "Here, come, can you pay double? Anyway, it is my father's money, and it will not be wasted until it is wasted. Let's go to Wanhua Tower quickly, they will probably go crazy with worry."
