The system is a broken bowl

Although these four candidates for the top courtesans come from the most famous brothels in the imperial capital, they are different from ordinary prostitutes. They are talented women with both beauty and art.

Many famous brothels will select young girls with good looks and talents, and train them in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs from an early age.

They sell their art but not their bodies. When they reach adulthood at the age of 14, they will participate in various annual talent shows. The guests' rewards are their redemption money. After redemption, they will have the opportunity to marry rich people and wealthy families.

This is a way for brothels to make money, because training a candidate for the top courtesan can receive several times or even dozens of times the return regardless of whether it wins the championship in the end. Moreover, not only can they receive high returns in terms of money, but they can also enhance the reputation of the brothel where the candidate for the top courtesan is located.

Most of these selected young girls are orphans and children from poor families. Both parties are willing from the beginning, which is a win-win situation.

Of course, brothels will not do business at a loss, let alone charity. Although the highest-level Oiran Festival is held once a year, they will constantly renovate the style. In addition to the Oiran Festival, there are also the Qunfangpu, Zhengyantai, etc.

Although Qin Qingqing is young, her talent is definitely the most outstanding among the four girls. Song Chen's poems not only impressed her, but also resonated with her heart. Thinking of her own life experience, she couldn't help but feel sad.

Yan Xijun held her cheeks with both hands and looked at Song Chen blankly. My husband, you are more than talented? Ten or a hundred times!

As a princess, she has read thousands of books, not to mention thousands of miles. Of course, she can appreciate the artistic conception and beauty of Song Chen's poem.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Huang Yanzhi praised it endlessly. "This poem not only satisfies the theme of the moon and fits the theme of a love-struck woman missing her lover who has gone far away, but also cleverly incorporates Mr. Bi's Amber into the poem. It is indeed a masterpiece that Huang has never seen in his life. I give it full marks!"

Song Chen's mouth curled up slightly.

What a joke! You old man don't give full marks to the poem of Wang Wei, the Poet Buddha?

The other three Confucian scholars also praised it and gave full marks, which has never happened in the past Oiran Festival.

The poem is good and the singing is beautiful. It is very rare for a Confucian scholar to give full marks, but now there are four full marks.

Although the role they play in the Oiran Festival is just the green leaves that set off the flowers, they still have prestige, which is equivalent to the romantic talents in the history of the earth, such as Tang Bohu and Zheng Banqiao.

In this way, this year's Oiran Festival has a climax from the beginning, and the top Oiran is already in the pocket of Qiao Qingqing. She is the first in both stages, even if there are still rich people who desperately give gifts to other candidates, it will be useless.

No matter how much they give, it only accounts for 30% of the total score, unless there is another rich person who is both a rich person and a literary master.

Why are Huang Yanzhi and other four Confucian scholars keen on hosting these talent shows in the romantic field? To put it bluntly, the organizers want to increase the elegance and reduce the smell of money, so they set the proportion of the talent part to 70%.

In this situation, it is not a loss for the organizers. The procedures have been completed, and they can directly announce that Qin Qingqing is this year's top courtesan.

However, if it ends hastily, they are afraid of offending the fans of the other three candidates. After all, among these people, in addition to many wealthy people, there are also the famous three sons of the imperial capital.

Pi Baocai was even more fortunate. He was the owner of a brothel. Although he offered the prize of the top courtesan, the Amber made a lot of money with this as a gimmick.

No matter how precious the black pearl was, it was just a decoration, not a rare treasure for martial artists.

According to the plan of Huang Yanzhi and Pi Baocai, this year's Courtesan Festival would take up more than two hours of sailing time. Now only half of the time has passed, but the climax of the Courtesan Festival has passed. Next, the talent shows of the other three candidates for courtesans will seem very tasteless and boring.

But this was not a problem for Huang Yanzhi and Pi Baocai, who were old hands. They soon came up with a double top courtesan.

"This year's Oiran Festival has gathered the four great princes of the imperial capital. Coincidentally, the four princes have also supported the four candidates for the four most anticipated Oirans. What a great event! So..."

Huang Yanzhi stopped talking and kept the guests in suspense. After the curiosity of the guests was aroused, he slowly said: "So, we have agreed to add a new interactive link. If any of the three candidates for Oirans, Li Wanzhi, Liu Qian'er, and Cheng Xiaoyao, can win in this new link, she will also be the No. 1 Oiran this year. If Miss Qingqing still wins, she will be the double No. 1 Oiran this year!"

Huang Yanzhi's words made the slightly dull cabin lively again.

For most people present, today is to have fun and watch the excitement. Of course, watching the excitement is not a big deal, so many people echoed loudly, and no one even cared about how the three princes of the imperial capital became the four princes.

Song Chen didn't care, it was just for fun.

"What are the new prizes?" Someone asked loudly.

"Let's talk about how to compete! The prizes are not for us." Another guest said.

"Yes, let's talk about the rules and the competition."

Everyone agreed.

Seeing the atmosphere getting heated again, Huang Yanzhi nodded at Pi Baocai.

Pi Baocai understood and clapped his hands twice. Two waiters were seen carrying a huge scroll and walked to the center of the cabin.

"This is called Jiangshan Shejitu, and it is said to be a rare treasure for cultivation. Unfortunately, I am just an ordinary man, and it is a waste of money to hold it in my hands. So, today I will take this treasure out as a prize.

The rules of the competition are that the four princes and the four candidates for the imperial courtesan form four pairs, use their essence and blood as a guide, and enter the Jiangshan Shejitu. The pair that finds the nickel-gold Huabiao first will be the winner!"

Bi Baocai's eyes turned. "However, after you enter, it will be difficult to find the nickel-gold Huabiao without a pass! The pass requires one thousand taels of gold to buy. Of course, the four princes decide whether to buy it or not, and I will never force it."

This Bi Baocai is really a businessman. His Jiangshan Shejitu was originally bought for one thousand taels of gold. At that time, he thought it was a great treasure, and maybe it could make him a martial artist, or at least sell more gold. But things went against his wishes. Not only was it useless, but it was also difficult to sell.

There were a few martial arts buyers, but their bids were less than 1,000 taels, so Pi Baocai was unwilling to make a move.

I didn't expect to encounter this situation today. If the four young masters were willing to buy the pass, it would be equivalent to selling 4,000 taels, making a lot of money.

None of the four young masters were in a hurry to express their opinions. The other three were either observing the Jiangshan Sheji map carefully or paying attention to the reactions of others.

Song Chen lowered his head and did not look at the Jiangshan Sheji map, nor did he observe the situation of the three young masters. He had more important things to understand now.

However, someone still came to disturb him.

"Stingy young master, would you like to consider buying a pass?"

Pi Baocai smiled and approached.

Damn! I actually became a stingy young master? However, this is not Pi Baocai's fault. He said he was a stingy person.

"I'll think about it."

Song Chen was speechless. "Remember! My surname is Song, not Tie!"

Seeing Song Chen's expression of deep hatred, Yan Xijun couldn't help but smile. Unexpectedly, her joke gave Song Chen a nickname.

Although these four candidates for the top courtesans came from the most famous brothels in the imperial capital, they were different from ordinary prostitutes. They were talented women with both beauty and art.

Many famous brothels would select young girls with good looks and talents, and train them in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs from an early age.

However, if it ends hastily, they are afraid of offending the fans of the other three candidates. After all, among these people, in addition to many wealthy people, there are also the famous three sons of the imperial capital.

Bi Baocai did not lose out at all, as he was the owner of a brothel. Although he offered the prize of the top courtesan, the Guibo made a fortune by using this as a gimmick.

No matter how precious the black pearl is, it is actually just a decoration or ornament, not a rare treasure of heaven and earth that is rare for martial arts cultivators.

According to the plan of Huang Yanzhi and others and Pi Baocai, this year's Oiran Festival will use up more than two hours of sailing time. The time has only passed halfway, but the climax of the Oiran Festival has passed. Next, the talent performances of the other three candidates will appear very tasteless and boring.

But this couldn't stop veterans like Huang Yanzhi and Pei Baocai, who soon made a name for themselves as double number one oirans.

"This year's Oiran Festival has gathered together the four great princes of the imperial capital. Coincidentally, the four great princes have also stood up for the four candidates for Oiran. This is such an anticipated event! So..."

Huang Yanzhi paused without saying a word and kept his secrets. After the curiosity of the guests was aroused, he slowly said: "So, we agreed to add an interactive link. If Li Wanzhi, Liu Qian'er, Cheng Xiaoyao Among the three candidates, whoever can win this new round will be the number one oiran this year. If Miss Zhuang Qingqing wins, she will be the double number one oiran this year!"

Huang Yanzhi's words made the slightly dull cabin lively again.

For most people present, today is just to have fun and watch the excitement. Of course, it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, so many people loudly agreed, and no one even cared about how the three young masters in the imperial capital became the fourth young master.

Song Chen didn't care, it was just for fun.

"What are the new prizes?" someone asked loudly.

"Let's talk about how to compete in detail! The prizes are not for us." Another guest said.

"That's right, let's talk about the rules and the game."

Everyone agreed.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting high again, Huang Yanzhi nodded towards Pei Baocai.

Pei Baocai understood and clapped his hands twice. I saw two waiters walking to the center of the cabin carrying a huge scroll.

"This is called the Jiangshan Sheji Tu. It is said to be a rare treasure of cultivation. Unfortunately, I am an ordinary person, and holding it in my hand is like a pearl. So, today I took out this treasure as a prize.

The rules of the competition are that the four young masters and the four candidates form four pairs, using their essence and blood as a guide to enter the country and the country. Whichever pair finds the nickel gold watch first, they will be the winner! "

Pei Baocai's little eyes rolled. "However, after everyone goes in, it will be difficult to find the nickel gold watch without Lu Yin! Lu Yin needs one thousand taels of gold to buy it. Of course, the four young masters decide whether to buy it or not. Pi will never force it."

This Pei Baocai is really a businessman. His country map was originally bought for one thousand taels of gold. At that time, I thought it was some great treasure that might allow me to become a martial artist, and even if it didn't work out, I could sell more gold. But things backfired. Not only were the eggs useless, they were also difficult to sell.

There were a few martial arts buyers, but their bids were less than one thousand taels, so of course Pi Baocai refused to sell them.

I didn't expect to encounter such a situation today. If these four young masters are willing to buy Luyin, it will be equivalent to selling four thousand taels, making a huge profit.

None of the four young masters were in a hurry to express their opinions. The other three were either carefully observing the country map or paying attention to other people's reactions.

Song Chen lowered his head and did not look at the map of the country, nor did he observe the situation of the three young masters. He had more important things to know now.

However, someone still came to disturb him.

"Master Tie, do you want to consider buying a road guide?"

Pei Baocai smiled and stepped forward to strike up a conversation.

Mud horse! I turned out to be an iron man? However, he couldn't blame others for his treasure, he was what he called an iron cock.

"let me consider it."

Song Chen was speechless. "Remember! My surname is Song, not Tie!"

Seeing Song Chen's expression of bitterness and hatred, Lord Yan Ying couldn't help but smile. Unexpectedly, her joke gave Song Chen a nickname.
