Happy Little Scholar

"Miss, are you still going to paint today?" Seeing the young lady coming back, Xiao Cui hurriedly stood up and asked. Tian'lai Xiaoshuo

In the Oiran Contest, others were busy earning popularity to increase their bargaining chips, but only her own young lady was not worried at all. She was busy painting all day long, as if she would never finish it, and the paintings she took away every time she went out never appeared again.

"No more painting, help me prepare the bath water, we will go out in a while."

Zeng Zuimo shook his head. The money for redemption had been raised, so there was no need to sell paintings anymore. What's more, things are rare and valuable. The occasional three-dimensional paintings can be sold for a good price. If there are more, it will not be so easy to make money by selling paintings in the future when you are short of money.

Watching the young lady enter the inner room, Xiao Cui touched something in her arms, and her uneasy heart was put down again.

This time, let her protect the young lady!

"Xiao Cui..." When she was in a trance, she heard the voice from the inner room, and the girl immediately stood up and responded, trotting over.

…

…

Jinxiu Garden is a rare and elegant place with many rockeries and pavilions. People with a little status in the city all regard this place as a choice for inviting guests for banquets.

Especially in recent days, the garden is brightly lit almost every night, and there are many people drinking and chatting. Tonight is no exception. Zhu Qing, a famous rich businessman in Qing'an Prefecture, is the host. The invited guests include wealthy businessmen and many talented people in Qing'an Prefecture.

With talented people, beautiful women are indispensable. Any courtesans with a little fame have also received invitations. Of course, whether they can be invited is not certain.

After all, Zhu Qing is supporting Liu Yiyi this year, and he has spared no effort. He can be regarded as their competitor. Some people are naturally impossible to come, but Zhu's name is there, and many people will still give him face.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for everything you have done for Yiyi. Yiyi is grateful." In a pavilion, a tall woman in green bowed to the young man opposite.

"Hey, Yiyi, what are you talking about? Helping you is helping me. There is no need to be so distant between us." The young man smiled and waved his hand, saying nonchalantly.

At this time, many people looked at the pavilion.

The two people in the pavilion, one is a wealthy young man with a lot of money, and the other is one of the most famous courtesans in Qing'an Prefecture in the limelight. This banquet was basically held for her.

When it comes to the top ten courtesans, it is actually difficult to tell who is better, whether in terms of appearance or talent. If you really use these to rank them, I am afraid no one will be convinced.

The annual courtesan competition is not just a competition between them, but also a game of power behind them.

This year, most of the wealthy businessmen, such as Zhu Qing, stand behind Liu Yiyi, and behind Liu Qiaoqiao stand many talented people in Qing'an Prefecture. Others naturally have their own supporters, but they are still inferior to these two. The competition for the first prize is probably between Liu Qiaoqiao and Liu Yiyi.

"There will be a few friends coming over later. They are talented people from the capital. I will take you to meet them." Zhu Qing said with a smile: "Miss Liu has the support of talented people such as Yang Yanzhou. In poetry, we are already at a disadvantage. You must seize the opportunity later. If you can get them to help you sincerely, we will have more than 70% chance of winning the first prize this time."

Liu Yiyi nodded, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that we didn't win over the mysterious Mr. Li. If he helps, many talented people in Qing'an will not be a problem..."

Although Zhu Qing was a businessman, he had obviously heard of the "Mr. Li" mentioned by Liu Yiyi. Hearing this, he said, "Don't worry. Although the invitations we sent out fell into the sea and the money was returned, it is said that he did not attend anyone's invitations. I'm afraid he is not very interested in these things. Just keep an eye on Yang Yanzhou and the others."

As soon as the voice fell, Liu Yiyi looked ahead and said in surprise, "Why are they here?"

Zhu Qing followed her line of sight and saw several figures walking over from a distance.

"That is... Yang Yanzhou, Wan Qiliang, and Miss 6, how could they..." Zhu Qing's face also showed surprise. Although he sent invitations to these people, he never thought they would come. After all, Yiyi was Miss 6's biggest rival. How could they come to such an occasion?

Although he was surprised, everyone was originally in a legitimate competitive relationship, and the proper etiquette should still be there. It was precisely because the two were the biggest rivals that they had to give each other great respect.

"Brother Yang, Brother Wan, I didn't expect you to come. I'm sorry for not welcoming you..." Zhu Qing walked over and bowed.

"Sister Liu." Liu Qiaoqiao became famous earlier than her, and Liu Yiyi took the initiative to greet her.

No matter how fierce the competition was in secret, it was not visible on the surface. Everyone only saw Zhu Qing and Yang Yanzhou and others laughing and chatting all the way. Liu Qiaoqiao and Liu Yiyi, the two most popular candidates for the courtesan, joined hands and were as close as sisters...

"There are a few friends over there who need to be greeted. I'm really sorry for neglecting Brother Yang." After a polite chat, Zhu Qing and Liu Yiyi went somewhere else. Yang Yanzhou and his men couldn't be here to make trouble, so they just let them go.

"How is it?" Looking at Liu Yiyi's back as she left, the young man next to Yang Yanzhou turned around and asked.

"It's as good as the reputation." Yang Yanzhou nodded and said.

It's already great to be praised by the number one talent in Qing'an Prefecture - the former number one talent in Qing'an Prefecture. Wan Qiliang smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Yiyi wants to win the first prize. I’m afraid it’s not that easy.”

6 Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "Do your best and obey fate. If sister Yiyi wins the final oiran, Qiaoqiao can only congratulate her."

Wan Qiliang laughed and said, "Don't worry, Miss Qiaoqiao. Brother Yanzhou has tens of thousands of words in his mind. If you just use a few words, it will be enough to help you get the first prize. The number one talent in Qing'an Prefecture is not a waste." Gain a false reputation."

Yang Yanzhou said with a bitter look on his face: "Qiliang, please don't say anything about the most talented person in Qing'an Mansion. Aren't you making fun of me..."

Wan Qiliang finally realized that he had made a mistake just now. No matter how talented Yang Yanzhou was, with that person in his life, the title of the number one talent would no longer fall on him.

Then, he realized another problem and said, "I don't know which girl ------ is supporting, if..."

Yang Yanzhou introduced: "I originally thought that he would support Miss Zui Mo, the top court lady in Qunyu Courtyard, but Miss Zui Mo doesn't seem to be interested in this oiran dispute. It is said that she just studies painting in her room every day. You guys Maybe you don’t know how popular Miss Zui Mo’s painting is. I spent two hundred taels of silver just to buy one a few days ago.”

Wan Qiliang nodded and said: "Fortunately, she has no idea of ​​competing for the oiran. Otherwise, if there are some scary poems thrown out, the oiran competition will be meaningless."

Lu Qiaoqiao was also secretly glad in her heart. Although she did not have a relationship with that person, everyone was the same. This time the oiran competition was still fair.

When she was thinking this, she raised her head and inadvertently turned her head, and two figures who had just walked in appeared in her sight.
