The colorful streets are lined with various teahouses, inns, pawnshops and restaurants.
Before going out, ye Xiyue specially changed into a man's dress. She had a blue tie-in-law robe, embroidered some lavender dark lines on her cuffs and neckline, tied her silky long hair with a white jade hairpin, and hung a jade pendant around her waist. She looked like a handsome young man.
He also used some powder to cover the blue spot on his face. It looks much lighter. It's also a man's dress. Naturally, it's not as eye-catching as wearing such a large green spot as a woman.
She strolled slowly in the street, walked through some stalls and looked at them casually. She didn't see anything particularly interested. Instead, she bought some preserved fruits and took them in her hand while eating.
Before strolling for a while, ye Xiyue saw that the people in the market had collected the stalls and hurried away not far from the front, even the pedestrians who had been walking accelerated.
"Alas, I heard that there are beauties running for Huakui in Jincheng, which is far away this year. Hurry over. If it's late, there must be no place behind!"
"It's a rare opportunity to see beauty. Of course, we should seize the time!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Ye Xiyue heard the voices of those small vendors nearby, and unconsciously accelerated her pace. She went to the place where they rushed to, and planned to join in the fun!
There was a square at the end of the market, where a platform was built, and the sound of gongs and drums came from a distance.
The audience was densely surrounded by people. On the side were two grandstands. On the grandstand sat local officials, big and small, as well as squires and rich men. Beside their seats, there was a table with different quantities of flowers.
The people in the front rows of the stage also have a few bouquets of flowers in their hands. The number is not many, but those with flowers obviously look more excited than those without flowers.
When ye Xiyue walked past, he also saw that many people were separated by a pulled red silk, and he could only see a corner of the stand from a distance.
On both sides of the red silk stood a man, one holding a lot of flowers, and the other holding a small bamboo card.
"Hey, the more lively and expensive the Baihua Festival is. Last year, you can go in with a drop of money. This year, you can go in with three drops of money. If you don't have money, you can only stand outside and see it. Even people can't see it clearly!"
"Isn't it! If you go in three times, you can spend 10 Wen on one. Even if you have money, you don't have money to buy so many flowers for your favorite beauty. Let's just have a fun outside."
There were many people standing outside the red silk. Ye Xiyue walked slowly from the other side to the front of the red silk.
She raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of the stand. "Is there a place in the stand over there?"
The watchman looked up and down at Ye Xiyue. He saw that she was gorgeous and the jade pendant hanging around her waist was extraordinary. His face was immediately filled with laughter.
"There's a position, there's a position, but the position over there needs one or two silvers..."
Ye Xiyue immediately took out the money when she heard the speech.
"Childe, this is your bamboo card. You can go up with it."
Hearing the watchman's words, ye Xiyue stretched out her hand to take the bamboo card in the man's hand, and crossed the red silk to the grandstand.
The man at the other end saw someone go in and walked over quickly. He wanted to stop Ye Xiyue to buy flowers, but he slowed down. When she came over, the man had gone in.
After ye Xiyue went in, she chose a secluded corner to sit. Perhaps because of the position, there were no people around, so she was happy to be quiet.
After a while, the sound of gongs and drums on the stage gradually stopped. A man in a dark green brother-in-law robe came up and announced the official beginning of the hundred flowers Festival.
His voice fell, the curtain behind him slowly opened, and a lot of graceful beauties came out, including men and women. Without exception, they were all beautiful and elegant beauties.
"There are fifty beauties on the stage. Who do you like can give them the flowers in their hands. If there are less than five flowers in their hands, they will be eliminated directly."
The first round selection is the simplest. Depending on their appearance and figure, the beauty on the stage can show their slim waist and rich hips, and can also show their perfect smile. In short, they can come as attractive as they can. Those who get the most flowers will also have great advantages in the latter items.
Ye Xiyue glanced at the beauty on the stage while eating the preserved fruit in her hand.
Her eyes swept lightly and her eyes slowly focused on a young man wearing a light blue thin shirt. The other party looked at Ji Shangxiao last year. He seemed a little embarrassed standing on the stage and his face turned red, but he was better than his beautiful appearance. His green and charming were exposed on the same face. Even if he didn't do anything, he seemed particularly attractive.
Sure enough, he stood so embarrassed, but he received more and more flowers. Gradually, he couldn't hold them in his hands. Compared with the few flowers in the hands of several people nearby, they looked particularly eye-catching.
"In ancient times, it was so open that men were allowed to choose beauties. Tut Tut, it's new!"
Ye Xiyue looked at it with great interest for a while. The preserved fruit in her hand was gradually eaten up, and the situation on the stage was gradually clear.
At present, there are only ten people left on the stage. Each person has more than 100 flowers. The most two are Qinghe girl, the number one in Longcheng Yilan hospital.
Qinghe has been listed in Yilan hospital for more than half a year. She does not sell herself. She plays a good piano and dances. She also looks gorgeous. There are a lot of guests coming and going, and even guests from other places who are attracted by her name and spend a lot of money.
Many people under the stage only heard her name but didn't see her. When they saw her today, they saw that she was really talented and beautiful, so they didn't save the flowers in her hands.
The other is the teenager Ye Xiyue stared at just now. Compared with Qinghe, he looks too green and astringent. He even blushes when he says a few words, but his song is very beautiful.
Like the graceful voice of an empty valley orchid, when he opened his voice, the people under the stage and the dignitaries in the stands were obsessed and couldn't extricate themselves from it. When he finished singing, they didn't return to God.
He got a lot of flowers, almost the same as Qinghe, while the others were much less and basically became a foil.
After the ten people showed their talents, the people under the stage basically sent almost all the flowers in their hands, and the dignitaries on the stage will send all the flowers in their hands in this round.
After counting the number of flowers, there were only three people left on the stage. The number of flowers of Qinghe and juvenile was the same, and the other one was a hundred different from them.
"The last round is a big deal! The three of you can choose a noble person in the stands on both sides. If the noble person you choose is willing to spend a lot of money, the one who gets the most money is the flower leader of this year's hundred flowers Festival!"
