The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Xiao Mo said awkwardly: "I want to say that all beauties are good girls."

Lin Yun held back his laughter, stood up and said, "I don't think there are many audiences over there, let's go."

Xiao Mo stood up and said, "Master San is right, let's go watch the show quickly."

...

A few people came to the ticket office, Xiao Mo went to buy four small red flowers as a proof of admission.

There are several rows of boxes at the ticket gate, and each box has the artist's name on it. The audience will vote for whoever they want to support.

Lin Yun walked over first, and the ticket inspector saw his clothes, and immediately bowed and said, "Which girl do you want to support, my lord?"

Lin Yun threw the little red flower in his hand into the second box, "I support Miss Yimei."

Xiangling also threw the flowers in her hand into the second box, and said in a low voice, "Just like the third master, I also support Miss Yimei."

Xiao Mo and Du Sha also expressed their support for Miss Yimei with actions.

At this moment, a clear and sweet voice sounded behind Lin Yun, "Young Master Lin."

Lin Yun looked back and found that the people who spoke were actually Liu Ruoxu and her little maid Tian'er dressed in men's clothes.

Liu Ruoxu laughed jokingly and said, "I thought the young master would support Miss Piaomiao, but whoever you think your favorite is Miss Yimei."

Lin Yun smiled embarrassingly: "I was entrusted by others, and I did my best."

"Oh,"

Liu Ruoxu let out a sigh, and didn't ask any more questions, but turned to Xiangling and said with a smile, "You are Miss Xiangling, right? You look so pretty."

Although Xiangling heard that Liu Ruoxu's voice sounded like a woman's, she still didn't dare to confirm it. Faced with Liu Ruoxu's overtures, she timidly hid behind Lin Yun, not daring to answer.

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Xiangling, this is sister Liu Ruoxu, and Tian'er is her maid,"

Tian'er came over, pulled Xiang Ling and said with a smile: "Our girl likes to wear men's clothes to play, but in fact, she looks very good in women's clothes."

Then Xiangling bowed to Liu Ruoxu and said, "My servant pays respects to Miss Liu."

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "Don't be too polite, the people behind are still waiting, let's go in quickly."

Liu Ruoxu stepped forward and threw the little red flower in her hand into the box representing Miss Yimei, and said: "I also support Miss Yimei."

Tian'er threw the little red flower in her hand into the box representing Liu Ruoxu, and said, "I support Miss Liu Ruoxu."

Lin Yun asked Liu Ruoxu while walking, "I heard that girl Yiyun from Beijing is going to participate in this oiran competition, do you know?"

Liu Ruoxu nodded and said: "I heard from my mother that Miss Yiyun seems to be invited by the Zhen family."

"Oh!"

Lin Yun was taken aback now, the Zhen family didn't support an oiran from the south of the Yangtze River, but wanted to support a famous prostitute in the capital, this is really weird.

Liu Ruoxu smiled and said, "Young Master supports Miss Yimei, I believe she will definitely win the championship."

Lin Yun smiled wryly, "I'm not as amazing as you said."

"The slave family believes that the young master can definitely do it."

Well, wearing such a high hat made Lin Yun feel dizzy.But he knew in his heart that he really couldn't get a hand in the oiran contest, and this matter couldn't be settled with just money.

Chapter 151: Big deal

After entering the performance venue, Lin Yun and the others went straight to the main stage to watch the performance. This side had the largest audience, and the front row was packed.

It happened that Lin Yun didn't want to go to the front to attract attention, so he led a few people to sit down in the back row to watch the performance.

...

At this moment, a [-]-year-old girl in a green skirt is dancing on the stage.

Liu Ruoxu introduced to Lin Yun: "The girl on the stage is called Lu Xiaoxiao, she is the number one girl in Mingyue Pavilion, and she won No.5 in last year's oiran competition."

Lin Yun was surprised: "Since she was No.5 last year, why did she come out to perform so early?"

Liu Ruoxu: "The order of appearance is determined by lottery. Each contestant has three chances to show off their talents in the preliminary round. If a contestant thinks that they can pass the test in one round, they can also give up performing on stage in the front."

Tian'er interjected from the side: "Our girl will also go on stage tomorrow to familiarize herself with the venue."

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Then I'll come over tomorrow to support you."

Liu Ruoxu: "Thank you!"

At this moment, there was a burst of applause from around, Lin Yun looked up, it turned out that Lu Xiaoxiao had finished his performance and was bowing to the audience on stage to thank him.

Not long after, someone shouted loudly from the audience: "Mr. Zhao Shiyuan rewarded Miss Lu with five hundred flowers."

"Qiu Mengliang, Mr. Qiu rewarded Miss Lu with three hundred flowers."

"Dong Quanyou, Mr. Dong, rewarded Miss Lu with three hundred flowers."

~

When Lin Yun heard Dong Quanyou's name, he couldn't help being happy. This guy is really a dude, and he is indispensable wherever there is excitement.

After Lu Xiaoxiao left the stage, the next person on the stage was a girl in light yellow clothes. Although she looked young, she was fresh and refined, bright and charming.

Liu Ruoxu introduced to Lin Yun: "The girl on the stage is our girl from Yunyan Pavilion, her stage name is Yunshang."

Lin Yun: "It must be the number one girl who was launched by Yunyan Pavilion to replace you?"

Liu Ruoxu nodded and smiled and said, "That's right, Yunshang is only 15 years old this year, and she has very good aptitude. In time, she will definitely be able to surpass my achievements."

Lin Yun looked up on the stage, and saw that the talent Yunshang was going to show off turned out to be guqin, which surprised him.

Most contestants choose to dance when they perform on stage. Firstly, dancing can show the artist's good figure, and secondly, dancing is easy to play and more likely to attract the attention of the audience.

Playing the qin is not the case. Only an expert can tell the good from the bad. Even Lin Yun has a vague understanding of Guqin music and can't tell why.

Miss Yunshang played Mrs. Xiang, and Lin Yun had never even heard the name of this piece before, and he couldn't tell whether Miss Yunshang played it well or not.

Liu Ruoxu listened very carefully, Lin Yun knew that she was very accomplished on the guqin, perhaps only Piao Miao could compete with her.

After the song was played, the applause from the audience became less and less, and there were not many people who gave rewards.

Lin Yun raised his hand to call the waiter over, took out a few banknotes and put them on the plate the waiter was holding.

After the waiter asked his name, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "Mr. Lin Yunlin rewarded Miss Yunshang with three thousand flowers."

Everyone looked this way when they heard the words, it is rare to reward thousands of taels of silver in the preliminary round.If there is no accident, this reward amount can directly send Miss Yunshang to the finals.

Feng Ziying, who was sitting in front watching the performance, heard Lin Yun's name, and immediately ran over to him and asked, "Brother Lin, when did you come here?"

Lin Yun: "I just came here not long ago."

Feng Ziying saw Liu Ruoxu sitting next to her and immediately said in surprise: "Miss Liu, are you watching the performance too?"

Liu Ruoxu: "I have a little sister who is performing on stage today, and I'm here to cheer for her."

Feng Ziying: "So the girl who played the piano just now is your little sister?"

"Exactly."

Feng Ziying hurriedly beckoned the waiter to come over, and rewarded Miss Yunshang with five hundred flowers.

...

After a while, Miss Yunshang came over to thank Lin Yun and Feng Ziying under the leadership of Mama Yang.

The little girl's face was flushed with excitement, and she knew very well in her heart that after the news spread that Mr. Lin, who wrote Ping Nance, offered a reward for her, it would be hard for her not to be famous.

Mother Yang thought it was Liu Ruoxu who asked Lin Yun to reward Yunshang, so she immediately praised Miss Liu in front of Lin Yun.He said that the two were a match made in heaven, which made Lin Yun extremely embarrassed.

When several people were chatting and laughing, a scholar came over and said to Lin Yun: "Mr. Lin, Cao Jijiu, please go over and talk."

"Uh,"

Lin Yun is now embarrassed, Cao Jijiu hit him when he tried to persuade a fight yesterday, and he caught him pretending to be a dude again today, why is he so unlucky.

After telling Xiao Mo and Du Sha to take good care of Xiangling, Lin Yun came to the front alone to meet Cao Jijiu.

Old Man Cao was chatting with several officials, presumably commenting on Miss Yunshang's piano skills.

Lin Yun stepped forward quickly, saluted Cao Jijiu and said, "My junior, Lin Yun pays homage to Master Jijiu."

Cao Jijiu said with a dark face: "The provincial examination is coming soon, you don't study at home, you spend all day doing mischief outside, what will you look like?"

Lin Yun said in his heart: "I haven't entered the Imperial Prison yet, why do you control me?"

At this time, an official sitting next to him smiled and said, "Brother Cao, who is this little brother?"

Cao Jijiu: "His name is Lin Ruoyu, and he is a disciple of Master Lu Shan of Yichen Academy."

The man asked in surprise, "Could it be Lin Ruoyu who wrote Ping Nance?"

Cao Jijiu: "That's him."

After a pause, Cao Jijiu said again: "If you meet, this is Master Zhen from Jiangning weaving."

Lin Yun thought: "So he is Zhen Yingjia."

Without any time to think about it, he cupped his hands towards Zhen Yingjia and said, "Junior Lin Yun has met Master Zhen."

Zhen Yingjia smiled and said, "Nephew Lin Xian, don't need to be too polite."

Cao Jijiu introduced to Lin Yun the names of several officials and gentry nearby, including Li Wan's father, Li Shouzhong.

Now he was even more embarrassed, having been in Jinling for so many days.He even forgot to visit Li's house.

Fortunately, Miss Yimei came on stage to perform and came to his rescue.

Lin Yun returned to the back row to continue watching the performance, but he was thinking about why Zhen Yingjia would sit with Cao Jijiu, and who would he support?

He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Liu Ruoxu talking to himself: "Miss Yimei seems to have lost a lot of weight."

Hearing this, Lin Yun looked up to the stage, and found that Miss Yimei had indeed lost a lot of weight, and she was not as charming and seductive as before.

He thought to himself, "It seems that Jia Lian's departure seems to have had a great impact on this girl. In her state, it may be difficult to win the oiran."

Lin Yun suddenly turned to Liu Ruoxu and asked, "Miss Liu, are you wearing eyebrow pencil?"

Liu Ruoxu asked curiously: "What do you want that thing for?"
