Having said that, Zhang Daoyuan's voice became cold: "So, he must die."

The middle-aged man nodded and said: "As long as he dies, Shibosi will not be able to continue driving. Others don't have Luo Xin's courage and skill. The southeast will return to chaos. Without Luo Xin, Japanese pirates will land again and wreak havoc In the southeast. And in the north... I heard that a man named Luo Qing appeared on the grassland, who seized the power of Zhong Jinhatun and subdued the Jurchen in Changbai Mountain. I am afraid that the grassland will be unified in a short time. The north of Daming is once again a threat. Without Luo Xin, the grassland will no longer be afraid of Daming, and the situation of Daming will rise, and our opportunity will come."

Speaking of this, Zhang Daoyuan clenched his fist tightly, and said in a low voice: "Old Zhu's family owes our Zhang family a debt, and I want to get it back with interest."

The middle-aged man pondered for a while and said, "Can we get in touch with Xu Hai, Xin Wulang and Wang Zhi in the southeast? Then get in touch with that Luo Qing in the north? By the way, my lord, do you think Luo Qing is Luo Xin's eldest brother?"

"How could it be?" Zhang Daoyuan couldn't help laughing and said: "The old Luo family is the upstart of the Ming Dynasty. As long as they continue step by step, they will become the first family of the Ming Dynasty. How could they do such stupid things? That Luo Qing is absolutely impossible. Luo Xin's big brother."

"Then the subordinate's proposal just now?"

Zhang Daoyuan's face turned cold and he said: "Remember, don't talk to those Northern Tatars and Japanese pirates anymore. When I win the world, I will definitely wipe out the Tartars and Japanese pirates. Except for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the rest of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty are Waste. Gongming should be on stage, right?"

"En!" The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Our plan is a bit rushed. Gongming rushed so hard that he came back this morning. My lord, since Gongming has already settled the matter, why didn't you go to see Luo Xin this morning?"

Zhang Daoyuan shook his head and said: "With Luo Xin's wisdom, if you give him time to think, he may have doubts. You can only give him a sudden attack, don't give him time to think, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, don't let him Only by resigning can things go smoothly. Here we come."

The eyes of the two people looked towards the river, and they saw a small boat swaying towards Luo Xin's painting boat. When they arrived in front of Luo Xin's painting boat, a scribe on the boat bowed his hands towards the painting boat and said:
"Is Master Luo Xinluo face to face?"

Luo Xin followed the voice, saw the middle-aged scribe, and said, "I am the official."

The middle-aged scribe clasped his hands again and said, "I, Li Gongming, have brought a letter from home to Mr. Luo."

"Letter from home?" Luo Xin was overjoyed. He had been away from home for a long time, as the saying goes, a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold.He stood up and said:
"Brother Li, please come up."

Soon, Li Gongming came to the boat. After Luo Xin introduced him, he asked him to sit down. Someone added a pair of bowls and chopsticks to him. Li Gongming took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him with both hands. Luo Xin.Luo Xin took the letter and couldn't wait to go home to read it, so he gestured to everyone apologetically, then opened the envelope, took out the letter and read it.Seeing this, his face changed.

According to the letter, Luo Xin's mother and wife Die'er went to the temple to fulfill their vows, but they ran into robbers. At the time of the crisis, Li Gongming took his family members along the way and rescued Luo Xin's mother and wife.Afterwards, Lu Rudai told about some family affairs, so that Luo Xin did not have to worry, and implored Luo Xin to treat Li Gongming kindly, and it is best to repay his kindness.Luo Xin put away the letter, stood up and saluted Li Gongming deeply:

"Brother Li's kindness is unforgettable."

Li Gongming hurriedly stood up and returned the salute: "A few trivial things are nothing to worry about."

Everyone looked at Luo Xin in surprise, and Luo Xin told everyone what was in the letter. After hearing this, everyone thanked Li Gongming one after another, as if what Li Gongming saved was not Luo Xin's mother and wife, but theirs. Mother and wife in general.After taking his seat again, Li Gongming's face showed a frown, and he hesitated to speak.When Luo Xin saw it, he smiled and said:

"Brother Li, what's on your mind?"

"This..." Li Gongming said with a twisted expression: "I... I met Miss Liu Hanyan last year, and I will never forget it. I went to express my heart to Miss Hanyan, but she was declined by Miss Hanyan. With my heart ashamed, I I left Hangzhou to travel around, trying to forget Miss Hanyan. But..."

Speaking of this, his face turned red and said: "But I have traveled around, not only did I not forget Miss Hanyan, but I think about it day and night."

Everyone on the boat showed understanding. Everyone is a literati, so they naturally like this kind of romantic and elegant thing.

"What happened later?" He Nian couldn't help asking.

"Later... I went to the temple in the capital to offer incense and pray for the blessing of the Buddha, and then I ran into Mrs. Luo's mother by chance. After that, I couldn't help but miss Miss Hanyan, and thought that the Oiran Competition would be held on August [-]th. , and hurried back, wanting to see Miss Hanyan again."

"Have you seen it?" Someone asked again.

"Yes, I saw it... However, Miss Hanyan was very sad. After I asked all kinds of questions, Miss Hanyan told me that she had no confidence in this oiran competition. I didn't believe it at the time and asked, what is Miss Hanyan How could the previous oiran have no confidence?
Miss Hanyan said that Qingqing from Yihong Academy asked Xu Luqing to write a poem when Xu Luqing returned to her hometown last time, but she didn't have any new poems, so she didn't have confidence. "

Having said that, I looked at Luo Dao: "Master Luo, I have a presumptuous request. You are the number one scholar in the dynasty, and you have written the collection of Yanglin poems. Can I ask you to give a poem to Miss Hanyan? Maybe with a poem from you, I can get Miss Hanyan's peace of mind."

After saying that, he looked at Luo Xin with a begging face.Song Danian on the side smiled and said: "No, this is also a good story, why not fulfill Mr. Li's good deeds?"

"My lord!" He Nian also said, "I haven't read your new work for a long time, let me write one."

"Yes, my lord." Everyone echoed.

Luo Xin smiled wryly and said, "How could this poem be written as soon as I wanted to?"

"Others can't do it, adults have absolutely no problem."

"Yes, my lord, a gentleman has the beauty of being an adult, so let me compose a song for you, my lord."

Li Gongming stood up, bowed deeply to Luo Xin, and said, "Please help me, my lord."

Luo Xin finally nodded and said, "Okay."

Everyone was overjoyed, and Song Danian immediately shouted: "Brush and ink will serve you."

Then some servants cleared the table and brought pens, ink, paper and inkstone.Li Gongming stepped forward and grinded ink for Luo Xin with his own hands.Luo Xin holds a pen and stares into thought.After a few breaths, he said:

"Since brother Li misses Miss Hanyan, why don't you write a lovesick poem."

"Okay!" Everyone was excited.

After the Ming Dynasty, no one could write love and longing poems better than Nalan Rongruo, so Luo Xin took a poem from Nalan Rongruo and wrote it with thick ink.Song Danian was at the side, Luo Xin wrote a sentence, and he read a sentence.

"Chun Qian, Hong Yuan.

Cover double rings, light rain flowers.

Painting idle, speechless will secretly play red tears.

In the recession, the fragrance sells and the dream returns.

Leaning on the screen, thinking about the past.

None of them are empty words for lovesickness.

Recalling that time, weeping willow silk.

Flowering branches, full of butterflies. "

"it is good!"

Everyone applauded, and Song Danian looked at Luo Dao: "No, it seems that you have been away from home for a long time, and you also miss it."

Luo Xin's eyes could not help but become sad, he really missed Lu Rudai and Zhong Jinhatun.Although I was emotional in my heart, I still remembered that this was a poem written for my benefactor Li Gongming, so I sent the poem to Li Gongming and said:

"Brother Li, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Li Gongming was ecstatic.

Luo Xin asked earnestly: "There is not much time until the Oiran Competition, is there still time?"

"It's too late, it's too late!" Li Gongming nodded and said: "The ready-made song, just put the words into it, and Miss Hanyan, as the oiran of last year, will be the last to appear in this year's oiran competition. So she still has time. My lord, I will take my leave now, and after Hanyan wins the oiran, I will bring Hanyan to treat you to a drink, and please don't pay me any favors."

"That's easy!" Luo Xin smiled.

Li Gongming hurried away happily.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the president of the brothel guild announced the start of the oiran contest, and everyone's energy was immediately attracted to it.

"Boom boom boom..."

With the continuous roar, the fireworks bloomed in the air one by one, like thousands of pear trees blooming. In this era, fireworks are a very expensive thing, and they are not seen at ordinary times.At this time, everyone looked at the night sky, the beauty was suffocating, and there was no sound other than the roar of fireworks around the entire West Lake.

Luo Xin had seen fireworks many times in his previous life, but since he came to Daming, he never saw them again.Seeing the fireworks in the night sky at this time, I feel like I have returned to a later life in a trance.

Seeing some men and women in some picturesque boats watching the fireworks excitedly, Luo Xin couldn't help but think that if there is a chance, he must watch the fireworks with Dai Er and Zhong Jin.

The fireworks lasted for a full quarter of an hour. When the fireworks dissipated, the surroundings were silent, and all the people still looked up at the night sky, reminiscing about the gorgeous beauty just now.

The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and those unlit painting boats suddenly lit up, and accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo, they drove towards the central platform.

Quietness was detonated in an instant, and tens of thousands of people became excited all of a sudden.The picturesque boats of the brothels were beautifully decorated, and there were more than a hundred lanterns lit up on each of the picturesque boats at this time, and they were in various shapes.

The painted boat, the reflection of the hundreds of lights on the lake, is a kind of beauty that is not inferior to that of fireworks.

The painting boat approached little by little, and on the painting boat, countless women sang and danced, with the sound of silk and bamboo, fluttering petals, and beautiful women, like fairies descending to earth.

The oiran contest has not yet started, but the atmosphere has reached a climax.

It was the first time for Luo Xin to participate in such a grand event, and he was dazzled for a while, and couldn't help sighing in his heart:
"This ancient entertainment industry is not easy!"

This kind of appearance immediately whetted everyone's appetite.Those painted boats came to a stop in front of the high platform, and then one of the painted boats sailed towards the high platform. It was the first oiran to perform today, the number one red sweet potato in Baihualou.

Hongshao is around [-] years old, wearing flowers on her head and wreaths on her body, like a flower fairy.

Originally, she was born extremely beautiful, her skin was white and tender, and she was accompanied by white flowers. Every time she took a step, the flowers on her body shook slightly, as if a lotus was growing every step of the way.

Hong Shao performed a Hundred Flowers Dance, soaring like a fairy, circling like a crane dance, making people mesmerized, even Luo Xin was no exception.At this moment, he was a little worried about that Liu Hanyan, even if he had his own words, could he really defeat this sweet potato?

When the red sweet potato left, another top brothel dressed up as Concubine Yang came up.It turned out to be dancing in neon clothes and feathers, and singing Bai Juyi's Song of Everlasting Regret.

The beauty of singing, the beauty of dancing.Let Luo Xin, a first-time brother who has never been to the brothel, be fascinated by it, and Song Danian on the side smiled and said:
"No, Liu Hanyan is under a lot of pressure!"

"Yes!" Luo Xin also nodded.

"No, if Liu Hanyan doesn't win the first prize, you, the writer of the lyrics, will also lose face. It will definitely become the most widely circulated story in Hangzhou."

Luo Xin smiled lightly and said, "It's just a game, it doesn't matter."

"That's right!" Song Danian nodded and said, "Nowadays, you don't want to use this kind of reputation to get too high on yourself."

At this time, the headliner on the high stage had finished performing and received thunderous applause.Luo Xin leaned on the back of the chair, recalling those elective programs in his previous life, many contestants hired sailors to vote, and he said with a smile:

"If the common people vote for the oiran, this one is very competitive!"

Song Danian said with a smile: "Then beware of buying tickets."

"Oh?" Luo Xin was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Da Ming would know how tricky buying tickets is.Then I heard Song Danian continue to say:
"It costs money to buy a ticket, so it's better to make money. That's why the current rule appeared later, giving golden flowers. The top card gets the most golden flowers, and whoever is the oiran. One golden flower and one tael of gold, both fame and fortune ah."

The program continued to perform, and the golden flowers began to be sent.Some give one or two.Some give ten or eight flowers, but as for the five great aristocratic families, if they don't send one hundred and eighty flowers at a time, it's shameful.

Moreover, this golden flower is not over once you give it away. When you find that the top card you support has been surpassed, you can continue to give it to let the top card you support overtake.Of course, other top supporters can also continue to give away,
This is fighting!

This is what the organizers most hope to happen. It is best if a few rich people fight and compete, then they will send it out.

Someone kept singing loudly that each top card got the number of golden flowers. Now the top card is indeed the top card pretending to be a flower fairy. At this time, more than 3000 golden flowers have been received, but the one behind her For the top card, the number of golden flowers obtained is almost the same as hers.Even the top card at the end has more than 300 golden flowers.
