In fact, there is a clear distinction in Hongen courtyard now. Sitting on the first floor were all big merchants and principal officials of local yamen or military in fengri city.
Sitting on the second floor are the leading figures in fengri City, including hundreds of powerful households, thousands of deputy households and thousands of households
All the candidates from the local yamen came, and Xie Youlin, the chief official of fengri City, was present. However, there were not many big men from the army and Xuanqing guard's Qianhu office. For example, Wu Changhe and Tang Qingyuan did not come. They should have gone to their hometown during the holiday. After all, their wife and children didn't come to fengri city with them.
And there are not many people in the army.
Therefore, the polite people on the scene accounted for the vast majority in Hongen courtyard.
After the short repair, the episode between Shen Hao and the eldest childe was quickly replaced by the restart of song and dance, but it just added a thought to the "flowers" in the evening.
Gan Lin and Zhang Qian are most excited. What they like most is to watch the excitement. Now they can not only see the excitement, but also take part in it. It's very interesting, especially to see the poor.
"Brother Shen, how's it going? Are you sure?"
"I don't think the childe brothers from the four imperial cities are easy to match. You should think about it first and come out one later."
Anyway, Gan Lin and Zhang Qian are still not optimistic about Shen Hao, mainly because the reputation of the four people is too loud.
"Hehe, two eldest brothers, do you have some confidence in my brothers? It's not difficult to write poetry." Shen Hao is actually turning in his heart. Which one will come out later to make these people open their eyes?
Seeing that Shen Hao was full of confidence, Zhang and Gan stopped talking. The three continued to drink and drink. Time passed quickly, and it was evening in the twinkling of an eye.
Third floor, flower house.
On weekdays, this is the highest grade warm Pavilion of Hongen hospital, which is used for drinking and having fun by the most famous dignitaries in fengri city. Now it has been planned as a lounge for the singers participating in the Huakui competition tonight.
Since it's not dawn today, the singers selected by these flower buildings to participate in the Huakui competition have been in the lounge. Their preparations are just as complex.
It takes only one or two hours to set the makeup, and then you have to open your voice, pick clothes, clean your body, etc. Although there are seven or eight servant girls just to serve, the singers are also very physical after a set of processes.
As the organizer of this blue moon meeting, Hongen hospital has promoted three singers. In addition to the number one Lianxiang, there are two new faces. They are all tender faces. They are also a cash cow secretly raised by Hongen hospital in recent years. Whether they can reach the level of Lianxiang depends on whether they can shine in front of people's eyes today.
In addition to the three singers from Hongen courtyard, 15 singers from other flower buildings will appear on the stage tonight. At this time, they are all nervously preparing in the wing room on the third floor.
"Miss, what are you doing?"
"Don't you think it's better for me to insert a flower here?"
In the largest wing room, Lianxiang looked at her makeup left and right in the mirror. In addition to the headdress that the servant girl matched her, there was also a beautiful blue moon flower on the left, which was particularly eye-catching.
"Yes, this flower is so beautiful!"
"Of course it looks good. It's from Lord Shen. It's completely different from ordinary blue moon flowers, isn't it?"
The two servant girls have long been used to playing with Lianxiang. And they also saw someone send flowers to Lianxiang for the first time. Generally speaking, what Rouge powder or all kinds of exquisite jewelry do they send flowers? It's estimated that only the interesting Lord Shen can get such a simple gift?
But it seems that Lianxiang likes it very much. I've been holding it in my hand before. Now I take off one and wear it on my head. Even if I give up a gold ornament, I have to wear it.
"Bah! Are you two itching again?" Lian Xiang blushed and stretched out her hand to wring her servant girl's ears. The latter ran away laughing. There are a few others in the room, and she can't catch two naughty eggs.
But Lianxiang really likes the flowers. When you think about it, it seems that it's the first time someone sent flowers to her.
"I went out just now, but I heard a lot about Lord Shen. Miss, do you want to listen?"
Lianxiang's eyes turned, and she sat down unhappily, dissatisfied and said, "speak quickly!"
"Hee hee, Lord Shen came here at noon today. I heard that he was provoked by the slaves of Liu Hengyi's family when he was at the door. Two palm fans were scrapped and one was killed, which scared Liu Hengyi to apologize in public. But then Lord Shen didn't seem to continue to investigate. He also had a drink and talked with Liu Hengyi for a long time.
Later, somehow, childe Xiao who came from the imperial city had a conflict with Lord Shen. Lord Shen said that he couldn't get down. Finally, Lord Xie Youlin said something to make it right.
Miss, why did Mr. Xiao target Lord Shen? "
Without waiting for Lian Xiang to speak, another servant girl said, "why else? How famous is the seven princes of the imperial city? But they were overshadowed by Lord Shen's three games last year. They care about fame most. They can be used to seeing Shen Da.
I think these people will jump out and trouble Lord Shen when they order flowers later. "
Lian Xiang frowned slightly when she heard the speech. The two servant girls like her. She doesn't like the seven princes of the imperial city. Each one is getting old. She always thinks she is handsome and romantic. With some talent, she likes to judge others in the flower building. Sometimes she speaks very hard. Moreover, these people attach great importance to the control of poetry, which is completely different from Shen Hao's random gift. They often need Hualou or singer to pay the corresponding price. The covert style can't reach the word "wanton romantic" at all.
"Xiao Qi? Why are they here?"
"It seems that the owner paid them to come. I should hope they can write two high-quality words."
Lianxiang nodded and stopped talking. There were other people present besides her two servant girls. Generally, she didn't talk much on such occasions. But my heart is like a mirror.
Hualou relies on talented people to raise their reputation for their song Ji, and talented people also rely on Hualou to become famous secretly and earn money.
So don't think that a talented person who goes to the flower building is just not doing his job or losing his family. People may make a lot of money without spending a penny.
In fact, in addition to talented people, the "baihuafang" in the ecological upstream of the singer circle also sent someone to come. These people are more pure gold than all kinds of talents. Of course, it's hard to get money. If the singer's level is not enough, throwing money may not help you improve your grade.
Time soon, in the evening, Lianxiang simply ate some blue moon cake and began to dress. Finally, everything was ready. It was early Xu.
The drums outside, the musicians played a grand song, and the most important Huakui competition began immediately.
