With mixed emotions, everyone began to cheer enthusiastically towards the slowly approaching Wanhua Tower and Qunfang Pavilion flower boats in Hangzhou City. This time, the Wanhua Tower was decorated as brilliantly as ever, and the entire flower boat was equipped with two windows.
The large wings, as thin as cicada wings, are painted with gorgeous patterns, just like a huge and beautiful butterfly. The big boat in Qunfang Pavilion is decorated as a koi carp like last year. Under the light, the fish head and tail can slow down.
The slow swimming is eye-opening. However, whether it is Wanhua Tower or Qunfang Pavilion, although Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan are as good as others on the bow, the stern is empty, with only a few musicians from the building standing.
, there was not a single famous person assisting in the boxing. This was in sharp contrast to the powerful lineup on the Fengyue Tower and Lanjiang Tower ships in front.
Yangzhou Yunshui Pavilion Qin Xiaoxiao's flower boat and Mingfeng Yuan Feng Susu's flower boat appeared after the two flower boats in Hangzhou. The decoration of the flower boats is just that, the decorations of several flower boats have their own merits, but the lineups on the boats are different.
Judgment. The four flower boats from Jiangning Prefecture and Yangzhou Prefecture that came to compete for the Oiran Competition were bustling with celebrities and literati, but there were no celebrities at all on the two flower boats in Hangzhou City.
Everyone understands the difference and importance of this. In the Oiran competition over the years, the role of the assisting person is incomparable. It is often the guarantee to win the Oiran. Because until the end of the Oiran competition, the color of the participating Oiran is often
The skill has reached a very high level, so it is not possible to tell the difference. At this time, the difference is often based on the ability of the person who is assisting. With the same voice and singing skills, if you sing a song with good lyrics, you will be better than others.
One is better than the other. If you sing a song with lyrics that others have heard badly, it will greatly reduce people's feelings. This is the difference.
The most obvious thing is that in last year's Oiran Competition, Gu Panpan and Chu Xiangxiang's erotic skills were superior to those of Xie Yingying from Wangyue Tower. In terms of beauty, singing and dancing skills, Xie Yingying was obviously inferior. However, it was precisely because of the
Lin Jue, who assisted Wangyuelou, came up with an ingenious repertoire and successfully bridged the gap in another way. Finally, he made the final decision in the final song and lyrics section, with a song that determined the situation and crushed Sima Qingshan and Dongfang Weiming.
It was one of the few big upsets in the Oiran competition to win the championship. This shows that in any Oiran competition, the competition is not about one aspect of strength, but a competition of all-round strength.
However, in the current situation, although Wanhua Tower and Qunfang Pavilion seemed to be as good as their opponents in terms of appearance, people who understood had already noticed the huge surprise, and not only felt worried in their hearts.
Six flower boats walked slowly around the front of the stage, and then slowly drove into the parking area at the side. There were several lanes separated by wooden pillars nailed into the water, which was where each flower boat was parked and waiting. 10
Several small boats followed the flower boat. They were responsible for escorting and guiding the boats. Soon they were neatly moored on the lake near the flower boat.
After the flower boat entered the venue, it was time for the distinguished guests to enter. The prince's dragon-headed boat sailed from the lake in the north with arrogance and arrogance. When the people of Hangzhou saw the dragon head on the bow of the prince's boat, they felt a little more at ease.
Many people suddenly figured out that Wanhua Tower and Qunfang Pavilion were the property of Prince Liang, and Prince Liang must have made arrangements. How could the competitive Prince Liang’s Mansion be willing to let the oiran fall by the wayside? Although their impression of Prince Liang’s Mansion was not good on weekdays,
At this moment, the appearance of Prince Liang is like a reassurance. Everyone wants to have a psychological support at critical times, and Prince Liang is obviously this support.
"Your Majesty is well!"
"Your Majesty, I'm a thousand years old!"
"The common people are waiting to kowtow to the thousand-year-old King of Liang!"
The people shouted one after another, some knelt down and saluted, and there was a chaos.
"The common people are very smart tonight and know how to give me face in front of outsiders." Liang Wang Guo Bing stood on the bow of the boat and waved while smiling at the young prince Guo Kun and the young princess Guo Caiwei beside him.
"The people of Hangzhou have always loved and respected their father, and not just today." Guo Kun said hurriedly. "This is called sharing the same hatred and hatred. When outsiders come to challenge us in Hangzhou, the whole city is naturally of the same mind. When there is a challenge from a foreign enemy, it is internal cohesion.
The best time for people's hearts." The little princess smiled.
"What Wei'er said is very true. I didn't expect Wei'er to understand these truths. As the saying goes, external pressure and internal cohesion are also a means of uniting people's hearts. Although Jiangning Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion are not enemies, they come to Hangzhou to win the Oiran. Obviously,
I, the people in Hangzhou, will not agree. This is a good opportunity for Prince Liang’s Mansion to win people’s hearts. The key is not to lose, otherwise it will be counterproductive." Guo Bing said solemnly.
"What my father said is very true. It is the same as what Lin Jue said."
"Oh? Lin Jue said the same thing? This guy knows a lot. So he is sure of victory?" Guo Bing said with a smile.
"The opponent is so strong this time, who dares to say that he will win? But Lin Jue and his daughter have tried their best. Lin Jue didn't sleep for two nights, and his daughter only slept for two hours last night. Plans are determined by people, and success is determined by heaven.
, even if he loses, dad don’t blame Lin Jue. He really tried his best." The little princess said.
"Daddy knows, how can he blame others randomly. This time, someone has indeed been tricked. Lin Jue accepted it in a hurry, but I hope I can still win. You all know who came to Hangzhou, that Wu Chunlai is from Lu Zhongtian's side
Dog, he came here just to see my joke. If I lose, I will go crazy just by looking at his face. If I can see him looking like a lost dog, I will feel relieved. So Lin
I think it is best to win. If he wins, I will definitely agree to his request, no matter how difficult it is. I will call him later and I will personally promise him this condition."
"Seriously? Daddy means what he says? If you win tonight, will you really respond to everything you ask for?" the little princess said happily.
"Of course, my father is a prince, so what he says is nonsense? Although he is not...a man of gold, he still makes a promise worth a thousand dollars. But as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to his request." Guo Bing said with a smile.
"Great, I will tell him soon. He will be very happy to know." Guo Caiwei jumped for joy.
Guo Bing asked strangely: "Why are Wei'er so happy? I promised Lin Jue, not you. Why are you so happy?"
"I'm happy for Mr. Lin, aren't I?" Guo Caiwei smiled sweetly.
Guo Kun on the side was puzzled at first, but then suddenly realized, he immediately understood what the girl was thinking.
"Sister, even if Lin Jue wins tonight, you can't agree to everything. If he makes unreasonable demands, it's still not allowed. Conditions are conditions, but they can't be excessive." Guo Kun poured cold water on the girl lightly.
"Dad, what did you hear from your brother? Didn't dad agree to anything? But he said this again." Guo Caiwei said angrily.
"Haha, Wei'er, your brother is right. I will reward him by agreeing to one of his requests, but I can't agree to anything. If he makes unreasonable demands, he will naturally not be allowed." Guo Bing patted Guo Caiwei.
The hand smiled.
"What do you mean by an unreasonable request? Daddy didn't keep his word again." Guo Caiwei looked unhappy and frowned.
"It's very simple. For example, this kid is obsessed with asking me to marry my baby Wei'er to him. Can dad still agree? That is an unreasonable request. This is called a lion's mouth. Do you understand?" Guo Bing laughed. road.
Guo Caiwei opened her mouth in embarrassment, turned around and held on to the railing and stopped talking. Her little thought was suddenly stamped out. Her father didn't know whether he said this deliberately as a joke or accidentally, but it made Guo Caiwei feel a little more sad. Full of doubts.
Guo Kun sneered in his heart, looked at the floating platform wrapped in black cloth in front of him and frowned: "What the hell is Lin Jue doing? Why hasn't it been completed yet?"
Hearing this, Guo Bing squinted and saw the tall, dark floating platform standing on the water. Compared with the other two brightly lit and beautiful stages on both sides, it was completely different. Not only did he frown. .
Guo Bing was about to speak, when suddenly the ship shook, and it turned out that it had already docked on the water pier. The guard commander Shen Tan said loudly from the side: "Your Majesty, my dear Princess, the boat has docked on the pontoon, do you want to get off the boat and sit on it?"
…
When Guo Bing and his son slowly stepped onto the platform surrounded by guards, a group of officials had already gathered on the stage and bowed to greet them. Headed by Wu Chunlai and Li Shiqing, there were no less than thirty officials at all levels from the three cities' prefectures. Everyone bowed their hands and saluted.
"Welcome to the thousand-year-old King of Liang." All the officials shouted in unison.
Guo Bing smiled and returned the courtesy, saying: "My lords, there is no need to be polite."
Everyone stood up straight after being polite. Guo Bing's eyes fell on Wu Chunlai. Wu Chunlai was also looking at Guo Bing. Their eyes met and they both felt the unkindness in each other's eyes. Wu Chunlai was Lu Zhongtian. Wu Chunlai was a famous person next to him, and Guo Bing and Lu Zhongtian were at odds with each other. Naturally, the two of them had no good impressions of each other. When Guo Bing left the capital and came to Hangzhou, Wu Chunlai was still an unknown young man. Guo Bing had never even seen him. But he had heard about what happened in the court later, including Wu Chunlai's betrayal of Fang Dunru, so he was full of disdain for Wu Chunlai.
"This one must be Mr. Wu. I have admired him for a long time. I have long heard that there is a capable Mr. Wu in the Political Affairs Hall. I think it must be you." Guo Bing looked at Wu Chunlai with sharp eyes.
"No, no, the prince is ridiculous. The lower official has no ability. He is just loyal to the court with all his heart. But the prince's name is like thunder in the ears of the lower official. Twenty years ago, the prince guarded Hangzhou according to the order of the late emperor, and swept away the fierce bandits in the southeast. The world. Not long ago, the prince annihilated the fierce bandit Hai Dongqing, and the pirates he killed fled in all directions. Everyone in the court applauded and praised the prince. I have admired the prince for a long time, and I have long wanted to see him and listen to his teachings." Wu Chunlai bowed and said with a smile.
Guo Bing laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Wu, you are quite good at talking. Lu Xiangding must think highly of you. You are so lovable."
Wu Chunlai frowned and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Lu treats me very well, but he doesn't treat me like this alone. Prime Minister Lu is kind and generous, and treats all his colleagues in the political hall very well. By the way, Prime Minister Lu asked his subordinates to convey this to him. In respect to the prince, Lu Xiang said that next time the prince comes to Beijing, he will treat the prince to a drink and congratulate the prince on destroying the pirates. Speaking of which, Xianguan is a little rude. Originally, he arrived in Hangzhou early this morning and should pay a visit to the prince. . But the official stayed up all night, was tired, and was worried about losing his manners in front of the prince. In addition, the oiran competition was about to begin, and the prince had to make some arrangements for fear of disturbing the prince. Therefore, he only ordered someone to send a famous invitation to visit, but the prince would not Blame the lower official for being rude."
"Hahaha, how can you blame Mr. Wu? I am indeed very busy today. Even if you come to see me, I may not have time to see you. Mr. Wu, don't think too much, how can there be less opportunities to meet?"
"That's good, that's good. Your Majesty is magnanimous and courteous, just as the rumors in the capital say. When I came to Hangzhou, all I could hear were praises for Your Majesty. Just now Your Majesty arrived, and the people gathered together
The shouts were loud and powerful. It seems that the people of Hangzhou's love for the prince is sincere. After the official returns to Beijing, he will report what he heard today to Prime Minister Lu and tell him how popular the prince is on the two Zhejiang roads. Haha
, Haha." Wu Chunlai chuckled.
A cold light flashed in Guo Bing's eyes, and he was extremely angry. Wu Chunlai's words were not well-intentioned. They were a vague threat. He wanted to tell Lu Zhongtian that he was loved by the people in Hangzhou, which was not a good thing.
The emperor's brother becomes more unhappy when he wins the hearts of the people. To praise oneself for winning the hearts of the people is not a compliment, but a slander and a threat. He would rather be said badly in the capital. This bitch seems to understand this and deliberately said
