The chimes sound first, the harps and harps sound in harmony, and the shengs and flutes sound in unison.
A drunken Penglai song kicked off the event.
The south side of the stage is the front, and the front row is full of individual cases, where the judges sit.
Amidst the sound of music, five judges emerged from the Near Immortal Pavilion.
Zhao Mengqi recognized the leader, Zhou Chengji, the general magistrate of Pingjiang Prefecture.
Wu Qian is still reviewing test papers in Gongyuan, so as a local governor, it is normal for Zhou Chengji to be invited to participate in such activities.
Following closely was a eunuch, and Gu Qing introduced him to Zhao Mengqi in time, "This person's name is Wu Ji. He is in charge of Xiu Nei Si's teaching music institute. He was an errand at Renming Palace earlier."
Renming Hall is the residence of Queen Xie, and the Department of Repair is responsible for the logistics services of the palace. The business is quite complex, including repairing the palace, firing official kiln porcelain, making palace utensils, etc.
The studio that originally managed palace dance and music went through ups and downs due to financial reasons after moving to the south. In the end, most of the musicians, dancers and other personnel were dismissed, and only the organization and a small number of elites were retained and merged into the Xiuchiji Music Institute.
Dance and music are indispensable for various ceremonial activities in the imperial court, and they can only be performed by folk "hehi", that is, temporarily hired artists from the market and the market, and the Music Institute is responsible for these affairs.
All folk artists, regardless of whether they were in the music industry or not, had to accept assignments from the music teaching institute. Therefore, the music teaching institute became the administrative office in charge of the entertainment industry in the Song Dynasty, with great power and considerable profits.
"The third one walking is Zhang Shu, and the fourth one is his friend Zhou Mi."
"Zhou Mi?" Zhao Mengqi felt something familiar.
Looking closely, he saw a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a sky-blue satin robe. He looked very elegant, handsome, and elegant.
"Zhou Mi, courtesy name Gongjin, was originally from Jinan. His great-grandfather followed Emperor Gaozong to the south and moved to Anji Prefecture. His family has been an official for five generations. His father, Zhou Jin, is now known in Tingzhou. He himself entered Taixue seven years ago. The year before last, he became an official. He was ranked thirteenth in the Civil Service Examination. He is quite talented and is especially good at poetry. He has not yet received a real job. He originally went to Fujian with his father at the beginning of the year and must have just returned."
Gu Qing has countless treasures and shows excellent professional skills.
Zhao Mengqi was very happy, "Zhou Gongjin? Judging from the appearance, it is not an insult to Zhou Gongjin who lived in the late Han Dynasty."
He didn't hear the difference between Jin and Jin, so Gu Qing explained.
Then he suddenly thought of something, "Is his great-grandfather named Zhou Mi and his grandfather named Zhou Jue?"
Gu Qing nodded, "Exactly, Alang knows his family?"
Zhao Mengqi smiled in response.
He has already thought about who this Zhou Mi is. In later generations, people who know a little bit about the Song Dynasty should know him. He is the author of "Old Martial Arts", "Qidong Wild Words", "Guixin Miscellaneous Knowledge" and other books.
Zhou Mi was not only talented, but also very honest. After the fall of the Song Dynasty, he did not serve in the Yuan Dynasty. He respected orthodoxy and differentiated between Chinese and Yi. These three views were very suitable to Zhao Mengqi's taste.
Zhao Mengqizheng felt that there was a lack of someone to handle documents around him, and he immediately wanted to recruit him, so he told Gu Qing, "Pay attention to this Zhou Mi, I plan to use him."
Well? Want to reuse it at first sight? Is Your Highness a little hasty?
Gu Qing was a little surprised, but he couldn't interfere with how to employ people, so he didn't express his opinion, "I obey."
"Hey, there is actually a woman among the judges?" Zhao Mengqi was surprised.
Gu Qing raised his head and glanced at the person behind Zhou Mi, and thought for a moment, "This should be Zhang Yi, the oiran from the previous two terms. He became a good boy three years ago and makes a career out of teaching dance music."
It turns out that at this time, there was also a practice of inviting former champions to be judges.
Zhao Mengqi took one look and was no longer interested.
The five judges took their seats one by one, and the final selection officially began.
The audience in the audience stretched their necks and raised their heads to look at the stage.
The Jinxian Pavilion is regarded as the backstage. It is more than two feet away from the stage, but a curtain is used to create a passage. Therefore, the audience cannot see who the performer is before they go on stage, which makes it somewhat mysterious.
As soon as the clouds sounded, a woman in a cloak slowly walked onto the stage from behind.
The breeze slowly passed by and the lights swayed. The woman's figure was like a willow in the wind, walking lightly on her feet.
Stepping forward, he came to the center of the stage and stood still.
Half-covered is the most provocative.
This way of appearing really understands the hearts of men, grabbing the attention of the audience, and making many people's minds wander.
"Ah! Who is this? You are so charming, so ethereal, and so enchanting!"
Under the blazing gazes of everyone, the woman untied her cloak and gently shook it off.
The pretty narrow blouse is called jade skin!
The graceful body is covered with a long-sleeved flower bra, which is as light as a feather and as clear as smoke. Inside is a narrow and short red tube top, plump and bright, and extremely eye-catching. The lower body is a brown pleated skirt with floral print, which is also the same. It is thin and transparent, allowing people to clearly see the short skirt inside that is the same color as the tube top.
A tube top is a close-fitting garment for women, with a single piece on the front and no cover at the back. The short style in front of you does not even cover the belly. There are two types of trousers in the Song Dynasty. The crotch is called "hakama" and the closed one is The crotch is called "crotch" and can be long or short, but the one in front of me is as short as the thigh.
Therefore, the large swaths of creamy skin and the slender jade legs can be seen at a glance!
This bold and hot outfit made countless people in the audience excited. It was not that they had never seen it before, but they had never seen it in such a large public, so it was particularly exciting.
Even Zhao Mengqi, who was used to seeing beauties in bikinis, was deeply amazed at this moment and couldn't help but click his tongue.
At this time, a pair of greasy little hands covered his eyes.
Zhao Jian's charming voice sounded, "Oh! You can't look at it, or else you will get needle eyes, Fourth Brother."
Zhao Fei also said angrily, "Incorruptible and shameless! You shameless vixen!"
Uh...she is a romantic woman.
Zhao Mengqi laughed, "Well, my body is a bodhi tree, my heart is a mirror stand, the mirror is pure, no matter how dusty it is, as long as my heart is bright, it doesn't matter..."
"Really?" Zhao Jian seemed to understand, but obediently let go of his hand, allowing Zhao Mengqi to see the "light" again.
Zhao Hui was not that easy to fool, and shook her head, "Ha! Man!"
Most of the people in the audience were stunned, breathing heavily.
On the stage, the woman was very satisfied with her effect of stunning the audience. She smiled brightly and said to the audience, "I am Yan Ran'er, and I pay my respects to you all virtuous people."
Following her movements, the bright silver pearls on her forehead danced and dazzled, awakening the people in their daze.
"Mother, she is Yan Ran'er! Sure enough, her fame is not in vain, she shocked the world when she appeared."
"Skin is as good as snow, and her grace is graceful. She is truly the best in the world."
"Tsk, tsk...these legs, this waist, and the plumpness are so heart-wrenching!"
"It's said that Tang An'an is sure to win the Oiran title, but now it seems that's not necessarily the case. Hehe, at least I think Yan Ran'er is better!"
Just as the audience was talking about it, a crisp flute played, leading various musical instruments to play a cadenza.
Yan Ran'er danced accordingly, her dance was soft and light, and she followed the rhythm, from slow to fast.
The sleeves flutter like flying snow, and the slender waist is as graceful as a dragon playing with clouds.
When the dance reached a critical point, the hairpin jewelry she wore on her head kept falling and scattering, and the jingling sound was integrated into the dance music, which was unique and charming.
The bun lost its restraints and flew away, and the black hair was like a waterfall, but it was flying gracefully, but it still couldn't hide the beautiful eyes that were shining with lightning, which captivated the soul.
The pleated skirt is flying like a whirlwind, and a pair of long legs like mutton-fat jade are shining brightly, attracting countless chasing eyes.
Good time is always very short.
The song ends and the dance stops.
Yan Ran'er stood upright, saluted in all directions, and then floated away.
Looking at the empty stage, the people in the audience were silent, as if they were still immersed in the beautiful dance and unable to extricate themselves.
Damn it, we’ve all seen the world, so why do we still think it looks good! ?
Zhao Mengqi finally woke up, but he had to admit that he had been addicted just now.
Immediately, at the banquet hall on the right side of the stage, Lu Shikui also woke up, because this was not the first time he had appreciated Yan Raner's dance, and he had a little "resistance".
think
When Yan Ran'er dared to appear on stage so exposed, he felt betrayed and his face turned pale.
***! See how I deal with you in the future!
Although he was unhappy, Lu Shikui still endured it, waved his hand and said loudly, "Yan Xingshou's dancing skills are peerless, he has won my heart, and I will give you a thousand gold flowers!"
At first, no one could react, but then the master of ceremonies and all the servants shouted at the same time, "Lu Yanei will give Yan Xing a thousand gold flowers for his first birthday!"
The audience roared.
"A thousand golden flowers!?"
"Doesn't this cost a hundred thousand yuan? It's a luxury! It's too luxurious!"
"Oh my god, this Oiran Convention has a history of nearly two hundred years. In the past, it was very rare to invest ten thousand guan, but today, for the first time, a hundred thousand guan was invested!"
"Tsk, tsk, who is this Lu Yameni?"
"Don't you even know him? He belongs to Hubei's family."
"Oh...it turns out to be a martial artist, so no wonder..."
"Hehe, it seems I'm right. Yan Ran'er has made a sudden appearance today, and Tang An'an is afraid that he will miss out on the Oiran."
"Don't tell me, this Yan Ran'er is really seductive. This dance seems to be dancing on the top of my heart. Haha, just for this reason, I have to contribute a little bit. I have ten golden flowers to express my feelings!"
"Yes, yes, we can't compare to the Lu family, but we can still give away ten or eight flowers!"
"I'll join in the fun and invest twenty gold flowers!"
For a time, the wealthy gentry donated generously and threw countless silk flowers on the stage.
The servants in Jinxiu Tower hurried to the stage to collect flowers. While picking up flowers, they nodded and bowed, with more than a dozen pairs of eyes laughing.
Jinxiulou can get 70% of the income from investing in flowers, Yan Raner can get a small share, and these young men can also get a lot of bounty. Z.br>
Sitting in the Lu family's seat, Lu Qi looked shocked, "Brother, you, how did you..., this is a hundred thousand yuan, my father will definitely blame you when he finds out."
One hundred thousand guan, to the people of the Song Dynasty, was no different from the concept of 100 million yuan for later generations.
Even if the Lu family has a big business, one hundred thousand guan is by no means a small amount.
Lu Shikui is now in charge of the family business. It is not that he has not used the power of 100,000 yuan, but it also depends on where he is using it.
Spending 100 million yuan to support an artist, even a prince can't do it.
Regarding the girl's shock, Lu Shikui seemed very calm, "You don't understand what's going on here, and you don't need to worry about it."
