In Jinling, the topics that everyone talked about ranged from the Enke Township Examination to the annual Oiran Competition. Various topics emerged in an endless stream. It was really lively.
The three rumors that Cheng Hu said sounded like casual talk, but in fact, there is no wind and no waves. Since Cheng Hu knows these rumors, it shows that these rumors have been spread at all levels of Jinling.
The annual Oiran Contest was originally an event in Jinling. The earliest Oiran Contest was a secret rivalry between Yingtian and Jiangning!
However, with the gradual loss of power in the south of the Yangtze River, the rise of new powers and the participation of royal families like King Pu, the game of the Oiran Contest has become broader.
However, for so many years, Jiangnan Quanshu has never failed, even the mirage pavilion built by King Pu's heart has been the second best in the Qinhuai River for so many years.
Some people say that King Pu is only the second child, which is a metaphor that he is willing to subordinate and never rise up, so he is jealous of the emperor.
As for the newly emerging giants in Jinling, such as the Ruan family, their roots are not in Jinling. It is only in recent years that the Ruan family has become more and more popular, occupying a place in the Qinhuai River.
Things in Jiangnan are very complicated, and many things do not exist in isolation. The Oiran Contest happened to meet the Enke Country Exam, and the topics became more and more. The game between the various forces also began to wrestle in secret. Under the calm surface, the situation in Jiangnan. The interior is already undercurrents.
...
Jinling, Gu's family.
When He Er returned to Gu's house, the girl servants in the fourth master's house treated him respectfully and politely.
Now his status is different. He Er controls all of Gu's Liuhe's business, and the fourth master Gu Shenghai's status in the family has also risen.
Now, Gu Shenghai likes to discuss with He Er whenever he encounters anything, in order to show his importance to He Er.
"Si Ye, He Lianggong is self-defeating from the Gu family. The Gu family has been kind to him for so many years, but he turned out to be a traitor. What is that Gu Zhilun? Is he the master of the Gu family?
He Lianggong unexpectedly voted under his command, Fourth Master, this matter is really tolerable, and it is unbearable. I hope that the family can come up with the regulations, and this evil obstacle must be severely punished! "
Gu Shenghai faintly said: "He Er, don't worry, the old man is very angry about this! Hey, the boss who has relied on the heavy confidant all these years turned out to be an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, haha, okay!
He Er, on the whole of Liuhe, you did a very good job, keeping the dock for your family. I asked you to come back today to tell you about this time the Qinhuai River Oiran Competition.
This year, people don’t look at our Gu family’s good. No, there are people who are secretly tinkering with Gu’s family in the Oiran Contest! What do you think of this matter? "
He Er was stunned for a moment. He was flattered when he faced Gu Shenghai's question. He was a pier and had nothing to do with the Oiran Contest. Gu Shenghaineng asked him about this question, which shows that he has a lot of weight in Gu Shenghai's heart.
He really didn't understand this question. If he gave him some time, he would immediately report it to the boy, but now, what can he say?
"Well, Si Ye... The Oiran Contest is very complicated, and the relationships involved are intricate, I dare not talk nonsense!" He Er was taken aback for a long time before giving a panacea answer.
Gu Shenghai didn't understand He Er's difficulties. He said, "It's okay, there are no outsiders here, just you and me. Just say what you think!"
"This..." He Er's head is sweating, but after all he is experienced, the old fox. Gu Shenghai asked like this. On the one hand, he might really trust him, and on the other hand, he might be really under pressure.
He Er has been in the Gu family for many years. In the past, although he was only an outside housekeeper, he basically knew everything inside and outside the Gu family.
In the current Jiangnan, there is a huge crisis behind the Gu family’s surface scenery. Many people are secretly coveting the location of Gu’s first family in Jiangnan. Someone is behind the moth!
He Er didn't know much about these things, but he was experienced and knew what the master liked to listen to, so he immediately pondered:
"Si Ye, I think so. The Oiran Contest is nothing more than girls and talents. With the strength of our Jiangnan Gujia, we are able to hold the top girls and even more capable of attracting the top talents in Jinling.
If someone wins over talented people, our family will take out new talents and replace them. Jinling's oiran needs to be updated, and Jinling's talents should also be the back wave of the Yangtze River and the front wave. Si Ye, don't you? "
As soon as He Er said this, Gu Sihai was really happy. He Er's flattery caught his heart. Recently, he was a little bit distressed because of the Oiran Contest.
For Gu Shenghai, he is most proud of having a good son. Gu Huitang is now well-known in Jinling, with poems and essays in the room, and he is also a supporter behind Biyun Pavilion, so it seems to be the future of the Gu family. hope.
Originally, there was not much suspense in the Oiran Contest. Fan Duoduo's popularity in Jinling is too high, and there are many fans around him. Top talents like Li Mu are all fans of Fan Duoduo.
However, he never expected a Biyun Poetry Fair, Fan Duoduo was fiercely self-willed. As a result, he made Lu Zheng of the Lu family popular out of thin air, and offended the many talents who participated in the poem fair that day.
Especially Li Mu, after that poem meeting, he disappeared out of thin air, and only recently appeared again.
If it’s just like this, then it’s fine. The problem is that the mirage changed its former gentleness, and suddenly he brought out a girl named Li Qianqian. This Li Qianqian was previously unknown, but she only suddenly emerged in the past few months. Rookie.
Fan Duoduo's momentum of its rise is even stronger. Legend has it that this girl is not only amazing in appearance, but also a talented student. Coupled with the power behind it, it has recently been helped by the gifted Li Mu, whose name is even closer to Fan Duoduo, which can be said to be menacing.
Gu Shenghai suddenly realized the crisis. Not only him, but the old lady felt something was wrong. Gu Huitang seemed to be upset recently. The ensuing events put a lot of pressure on Gu Shenghai.
Gu Tianyang reprimanded Gu Huitang in the study of Grandpa Gu, "As a descendant of the Gu family, you must always understand who you are. We are the masters of Biyun Tower, and the women named oiran are all held by us. The woman who went up to Sa Huan'er, you, as a descendant of the Gu family, are obsessed with such a woman who is a woman of life. It really disappoints me to God for her!"
Mrs. Gu paused and sneered: “What’s even more ridiculous is that this girl named Fan Duoduo hasn’t put you in his eyes. At a Biyun poetry meeting, the two poems this girl read were both from the Lu family’s name. Lu Zheng's kid. Hey, you, it's just a joke!
Do you understand the joke? Talking about people like you! "
Gu Huitang knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said stubbornly: "Grandfather, Lady Duoduo is definitely not an ordinary woman from the wind..."
"Enough!" Gu Shenghai, who had been listening to the side, couldn't bear it. His interrupted son said coldly:
"With the strength of our Gu family, we can pick a girl at random, and we can also hold it in the position of the oiran. Since this fan Duoduo does not understand the rules, this time the person who played in the Biyun Pavilion in the oiran contest chooses another person.
In addition, the so-called talents of Jinling are also the waves behind the Yangtze River and the waves ahead. What is a Li Mu? Our Gu family is capable of holding out more Li Mu.
This time in the Oiran Contest, it's time to put some effort into it. If you don't put effort into it, others really regard our Gu's family as sick cats! "
Gu Tianyang snorted coldly and said, "Really? When was our Gu family so good? Do you think Gu family can really call the wind and rain?
Fourth, you can go outside to coax people with these words, but talking here becomes nonsense!
Although the hall is muddled, but his mind is clearer than you, he said rightly, this girl named Fan Duoduo is extraordinary, and it takes many years to meet Qinhuai River.
Doesn't this girl like Lu Zheng? That's right, this time in the Oiran Contest, we can contribute to this story, making Jinling talents envy Lu Zheng, and they all know this period of love in the dust, haha..."
Gu Tianyang suddenly burst into laughter, Gu Shenghai suddenly realized his intentions, and hurriedly said, "Father, your idea is really high! It is really high!"
It is a good story between Lu Zheng and Fan Duoduo. With Lu Zheng's talents can be the help of Gu's Oiran Contest this time, Gu's confidence will be much greater.
There is a more important point. Lu Zheng is a descendant of the Lu family. Drawing Lu Zheng to the Gu family is equivalent to binding the Lu family to the Gu family. Isn't the opponent aggressive? Okay, there is more than one Gu family in the Jiangnan Power Sovereign. There are talents like Lu Zheng in the Lu family, who can underestimate it?
The more Gu Shenghai realized the idea, the more wonderful his father's idea was. The Gu family encountered difficulties and pushed the Lu family to the front as a shield. All this was not deliberate, but smooth.
Kneeling on the ground, Gu Huitang suddenly said: "The girl Duoduo said that the Oiran Contest will not trouble Lu Zheng. I think my father is right. The crisis of the Oiran Contest this time is the right time for our Gu family to recruit talents.
Next year will be Enke. The Oiran Contest is the front stop of the Enke of the Country Examination. It will definitely attract many talents. The Ruan family can have a rising star like Ruan Shaolin. Why can't our Gu family dig out more Lu Zheng and Ruan Shaolin?
I have drawn up this talent recruitment plan. Once it succeeds, our Gu family will become the biggest winner of this Oiran Contest...
When Gu Huitang said this, he raised his head high, his face was full of stubbornness and unyielding, Gu Shenghai was furious, but Gu Tianyang raised his hand to stop it, his eyes staring like a falcon. Gu Huitang said coldly:
"Hall, do you really think about it?"
