The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 40 Who Shot Me!

"This is not a joke..." Chen Xiangnian looked surprised.

Yes, this seems to be a joke.

This is an empty couplet, a blank piece of couplet, with no words on it...

"Shopkeeper, why is this!" Ji Yunchang seemed to frowned.

Xiaoer is also sweating at this time, "Young masters, I really don't know what's going on, these mystery couplets were all put in by that young master back then, last year, the previous couplets were corrected, Only this is the first time to take it apart. The little one really doesn’t know what’s going on..."

Xiao Er looked nervous, Xu Zhen had nothing to do with him.Everyone looked at each other with a look of discouragement.By the way, in the end it was this result, it felt like being tricked by someone.

Maybe it was a childish temper, I stood up and said, "Little brother, do you have a big wolf hair?"

"Yes, yes! Wait a minute, officer, I'll get it for you." He said, and ran downstairs, not only brought ink pens, but also paper and ink.

I walked over to pick up the brush and dipped the ink, and everyone looked at me in surprise, I ignored it, put away the pen, brushed it a few times, and painted the white paper into black.

In the end, I put down my Langhao pen, looked at my masterpiece with satisfaction, and said to the shopkeeper, "Little brother, how can I contact the mysterious person?"

Xiaoer said, "Returning to the guest officer, the man said that if someone confesses all of them, he only needs to leave his surname and name. He will do it every six months. If he confesses, he will definitely not beg for money."

I nodded, "That's good, we won't keep this name. If one day, that person comes to your store, you can give him this ink couplet and tell him that someone has agreed with him rightly." .”

He is white, and I am black.He is colorless, and I am dyed with ink.If he's trying to make fun of people, I'll just improvise, that's all.

Xiao Er nodded and said, "Okay, okay, Xiao Er will pass it on."

At this time, the sound of drums and pianos rang out from the window, the original idle noise was suppressed, and there was a burst of applause. Counting the time, the oiran meeting seemed to be coming to an end.

I had had enough tea, tried all the desserts, and played lantern riddles and couplets. Everyone wanted to see who this year's Lantern Oiran would end up with.

After paying the money, I went downstairs one by one. Li Jiu was still sitting in the corner of the room, looking out the window with a look of excitement on his face. Arrived in a hurry.

"Engong." He called out, seeing that there was no one around, he asked, "Engong, you asked Li Jiu to wait here, but do you have an order?"

I didn't want to hide it from him, so I said first, "The people you bring are all pretty smart?"

He said affirmatively, "Don't worry, benefactor, Li Jiu's affairs are considered safe. These people are all very close. One of them used to have a wealthy family and has learned a little bit of kung fu."

I nodded, "That's good. A few days ago, I asked you to spread the word, and you must have thought about it in your heart. Today, the oiran will meet, and I want Hongye to win the championship."

Li Jiu asked, "Grandfather...but is there any other way?"

My plan was already bold, and I didn't have too many cards in my hand, so I said truthfully, "I don't know how to do it. Do you have a way to mix people into a place close to the venue so that you can pass on the news?"

Li Jiule said, "Don't worry, benefactor, the slave on the right side of the flower table who is responsible for the safety of the venue is our people. I have already distributed our people around the flower table. It is easy to spread the news."

This is simply too good.

Half of my heart was loose, and I said, "I am surrounded by people, and many things are inconvenient. When Hongye wins the championship, I will help her with some small tricks. You need to stand at a distance and play by ear, the fastest and least Is it possible for someone to find a way to pass the news I gave you to Hongye?"

Li Jiu cupped his fists and said, "I will live up to my benefactor's trust."

"Ahem..." Luzhu coughed twice suddenly, someone must have come, so I told Li Jiu to hide for a while, straighten my clothes and walk out of the alley.From a distance, I saw Ji Yun often pacing and walking, maybe seeing that I hadn't kept up with the team for a long time, I was afraid that something might happen.

"Let's go." I took two steps to meet him.He paused his gaze behind me, then nodded, and went to find the Seventh Prince and the others with me.

After Youshi, there were not many passers-by watching the lanterns on the street. Seeing the Seventh Prince and the others walking slowly ahead, we just couldn't catch up.It was so easy for one to catch up to the high ground where they stood. The last round of competition in the ring seemed to be over. The peony in Yinhonglou was dancing, and the next one would be Hongye.

Peony dressed up carefully today, painted her forehead makeup, put on temple flowers, and passed on a pleated skirt with pearls and diamonds on the hem. During the dance, the beads fluttered like a fairy butterfly, attracting the crowd into a crowd. The film called her name, even the Seventh Prince couldn't help but stroked his chin a few times, "Don't tell me, this girl who likes women dances better than the singer in my house."

Helian Yunmao smiled slightly and said, "Since Brother Seven likes it, he will redeem her later, how about taking her back to be a dancing concubine?"

Helian Yunze shook his head hurriedly, "Let's forget it, it's better not to tie a tie in the mansion for girls in brothels. Besides, your seventh sister-in-law has a bad temper, and I'm afraid to take me back, she'll be jealous."

I am afraid that the last sentence is the key.

Helian Yunmao smiled slightly and watched the dance with his hands behind his back.At this moment, I felt someone pulling my cuff, and when I turned around, it was Chen Xiangnian.

Something?

She swallowed a few times, and finally asked in a low voice, "When did you have such a good relationship with Young Master and the two princes, and you still travel together?"

I said truthfully, "After I go today, I will also send to see the old matriarch. Lord Ji Xiaohou obeyed his orders to send me off. I met two princes on the way, so we came together."

"Oh, that's it." Chen Xiangnian nodded, and secretly glanced at the adult-looking Ji Yunchang with his hands behind his back, his face turned red, he seemed to be talking to me, and also seemed to be talking to himself, "Young Master, today, It's different."

I'm quite surprised, why is it different?No it's still the same.

"I've never seen him talk a lot, but today, he actually talked a lot." After speaking, Chen Xiangnian's face turned even redder, and the lantern shone like a glow.

I'm even more surprised, doesn't he like to talk?no……

At this time, the sound of the chimes and drums was exhausted, and the peonies on the stage danced, and there was a sound of calling names from the audience.She smiled and bowed to Fuli and retreated.

Following him on stage was a handsome woman with a pink face.She is wearing a beauty bun, with a string of long ear bells, bells on her wrists and ankles, and a delicate and handsome dance dress in a jacket, dancing with the flowers. Shout.

To be shortlisted in the triple screening of the Oiran Competition, there must be some know-how.

After the dance was over, she smiled shyly and turned around to step off the stage.Afterwards, a servant moved up a bamboo stool, and a graceful woman in a water-green dress stepped onto the stage. After saluting to the audience, she sat on the stool, gently opened her red lips and raised her jade hands, singing a melodious and crisp song. Then the flute sounded.

This girl is blowing high mountains and flowing water, sometimes cheerful, sometimes graceful, and the listeners are mesmerized.

It suddenly occurred to me that Helian Yunzhang loves to listen to the flute the most, so I couldn't help but glance at him, and seeing that he really listened to it, he slightly raised his head and looked into the distance, wondering what he was thinking.And Liu Rong'er beside him looked at her unintentionally, her beautiful eyes reflected the glow of the lantern festival, which was so beautiful that it made people's heart beat.

People don't know the painting in the painting, and they don't know the love in the depths.Men and women in the world are all trapped by love, and I seemed to be the same back then.

I secretly sighed, let go of redundant thoughts, and listened to the flute music with peace of mind.

At the end of the song, the house was full of applause, and the woman stood up and stepped down from the stage.

Hold the pipa lightly and half cover your face, and make it come out after a thousand calls.

The last one to come on stage was the veiled Hongye holding a pipa.

"Boom..." She flicked the strings lightly, and there was no sound from the audience.She raised her eyes and scanned the crowd, and began to sing softly...

The song she chose today was arranged by me in advance, called Piao Hua Yin.The melody is sad, beautiful and low, it is really not suitable for today's festive day.

but……

Today's Hua Niang's performance was full of joy and excitement, everyone was tired of looking at it long ago, and singing this little tune made it even more appetizing.What's more, Hongye has already made a statement, but has never shown his face. Today, he is newly recruited elsewhere, which makes everyone want to see his appearance.

Almost as soon as the song fell, everyone called for her to lift the veil one after another. She seemed very shy, and finally pulled down the veil amid the calls.

Hongye can be regarded as a beauty, and she dressed up specially today. The moonlight is hazy, making her even more charming and charming. There was a commotion in the audience, and then there were bursts of enthusiastic cheers.

I smiled slightly, yes, this is the effect.

The four beauties each have their own strengths and talents. It means that Hongye's influence is greater, and other girls have many followers. If the position of oiran is given to someone alone, others will naturally not agree, so there is a final round. selection.

Different from the usual literary talent competition, this year's final round is a bit like drawing lots.

That is, put something in the cardboard box, write a hint, and let them guess what is in the box along the meaning of the note.Each person guessed three times, and the person whose guess result was closest to the item in the box was this year's oiran.

Although this is an element of some games, it is also very fair.After a while, someone came up with a few boxes.There was a young lady who sent a note to the four beauties and then withdrew it. I saw Hongye frowned after taking the paper. After a while, Li Jiu's people quickly sent news that the note in her hand was , written with the words "Yong" and "Yuan".

The range of characters used is large, and the round characters are naturally bigger. This is really difficult to guess. ,
I thought about Zai San, and after a lot of inner entanglement, I still made a major decision.

I want to use mystical power to see what is in the box.

I closed my eyes, simmered, and stared at the box...

Perhaps because of the distance, I couldn't see clearly, so I had to close my eyes again and concentrate all my energy to see...

Slowly, the eyes seemed to be able to see through the cardboard box. Although it was blurry, it seemed that... I could see something bright inside. It was covered with a layer of red cloth, and under the red cloth was a... …

"Hi! You're here too!"

I was watching intently when I was suddenly patted on the shoulder. I felt dizzy and dizzy for a while. When the gold stars in my eyes receded, I went to look at the box again, but I couldn't see anything.

A burst of anger surged into the sky, wishing to strangle the person who suddenly slapped me to death!

Gritting my teeth, I turned around abruptly,
Who!Who patted me on the shoulder!
