Chapter 325 Two girls competing for beauty
A man from below walked to the center of the stage and bowed to everyone.
"Today, Miss Ge Xiao'e from our Nishang Class wants to have a dance with Miss Nie Hong's Red Mansion Class."
"I know that many viewers come from all over the north and are specially cheering for Miss Ge. Here we are thankful for our Nishang class!"
A man in the crowd shouted: "Ge's Dance is unparalleled in the world. If you can see each other again, it's worth dying. What's the point of running a few hundred miles?"
Others agreed.
The emcee smiled and said, "I thank you for your respect. I should have asked Miss Ge to come out and dance for everyone immediately. However, the people on the other side said that before the martial arts fight, there will be a literary fight first!"
Someone asked, "What is literary fight?"
The ceremonial master said, "Please look!" He pointed in one direction.
I saw another pleasure boat sailing over the lake in the distance.
There are two colorful flags on this pleasure boat, one pink and the other light blue, with pictures of ladies on it.
Lanterns were hung on the colorful flags. Under the lanterns, two pictures of ladies fluttered in the wind and made a rustling sound.
The host whispered loudly: "Everyone has seen that pink flag is the flag of our Miss Ge. The literary battle will begin later. You can spend money to buy three types of firecrackers. The more you buy, the higher the flag of Miss Ge will rise!"
Everyone immediately understood that this first literary battle was compared with the financial resources of the observers on both sides.
The celebrant continued: "There are three types of firecrackers. The first type is called 'Hundred Flowers Blooming'. Ten taels of silver can make the colorful flags rise by an inch. The second type is called 'Thousand Rocks Competition Show'. It can make the colorful flags rise by a foot and cost by a hundred taels of silver. The third type is called 'Ten Thousand Horses'. It can make the colorful flags rise by a foot and cost by a thousand taels of silver!"
"Everyone can do it according to their abilities. Don't affect your livelihood for a game!"
Someone immediately shouted: "For Miss Ge, what's the point of losing some money? I'll pay ten taels to buy a bunch of flowers and bloom!"
The host smiled and said, "Don't worry first. When the ship comes, the young master just goes to the big ship over there to buy it!"
After a while, the ship came to the two pleasure boats. The three ships threw their anchors at the same time, and then connected them with wooden boards to form a triangle, like a sea palace.
As the celebrants on both sides said in unison, "The literary fight begins!"
Visitors rushed to the colorful flag boats to buy firecrackers on the two pleasure boats.
There was also an emcee on the Caiqi boat, and he heard him shouting: "Mr. Xu from Sizhou bought a 'a hundred flowers blooming' for Miss Ge."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "swoosh" sound, and a fire rose into the sky and bloomed in the night sky.
Beneath the gorgeous fireworks, Ge Xiao'e's colorful flag rose by an inch, but it didn't look obvious.
In an instant, the host of colorful flag ships made a sound.
"The prince of Xuzhou bought a 'a hundred flowers blooming' for Miss Ge."
"Mr. Lu, Wu County, bought a 'a hundred flowers blooming' for Miss Nie."
"Mr. Zhang, the young master of Jinan Prefecture, bought a 'a hundred flowers blooming' for Miss Ge."
"Mr. Deng from Hangzhou bought a 'a hundred flowers blooming' for Nie Hongniang."
Two colorful flags chase each other, rising higher and higher in the air.
Under this kind of literary battle, everyone's interest also grew with the rise of the colorful flags.
Zhang Shicheng and Zhao Jun flashed their eyes, as if they were both interested and wanted to take action.
Not long after, I suddenly heard the colored ship host whisper: "Kuanwai of Gaoyou Mansion bought a 'Qianyan Jingxiu' for Miss Ge!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of "swish and swish" sounds, and a string of fireworks and firecrackers slid into the night sky and bloomed in the air, making people dizzy.
"Haha, look, Miss Ge has overwhelmed Miss Nie!" someone on the boat shouted, looking very happy.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the emcee shouting again.
"Mr. Cai from Jiangdu Mansion bought a 'Qianyan Jingxiu' for Miss Nie."
In an instant, another starlight was shining, and Nie Hongniang's flag also rose a foot high, catching up with Ge Xiaoe again.
From then on, the emcee shouted almost all the "Qianyan Jingxiu", and those who wanted to buy "A hundred flowers blooming" were embarrassed to go over and speak.
"Mr. Bian of Jiangdu Mansion bought a 'Qianyan Jingxiu' for Miss Nie."
"Mr. Sima from Xuzhou bought a 'Qianyan Jingxiu' for Miss Ge."
"Mr. Zeng, the Jiangdu Mansion, bought a 'Qianyan Jingxiu' for Miss Nie."
Seeing that both sides were still in a stalemate, Nie Hongniang's colorful flag seemed to have the momentum to surpass Ge Xiao'e, Zhao Junyong suddenly stood up.
"I bought a 'Ten Thousand Horses' for Miss Ge Xiao'e!" His voice was so powerful that everyone on the three ships could hear it clearly.
After the words fell, a moment of silence fell below, and then a huge cheer burst out.
Accompanied by cheers, a "swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-
Countless fireworks and firecrackers rushed into the night sky, emitting the most dazzling brilliance. Everyone looked up at the beautiful scenery of the night sky, intoxicated.
Many people are thinking that it is worth seeing this fireworks today.
In a certain elegant room on Nie Hongniang's pleasure boat, Bian Yuantong's face turned pale and said, "Who was that person just now... Could it be that the king is here?"
The three sitting in this elegant room are Cai Heng, Bian Yuantong and Zeng Qianli.
They came here not for Nie Hongniang, but for treating this game as a battle between the north and the south, and they were unwilling to lose the face of the Jiangnan people.
Cai Heng frowned and said, "It doesn't seem like the king when he hears the sound."
Zeng Qianli shrank his neck and said, "Anyway, I'm not sure about that person's identity, so I dare not continue fighting!"
Cai Heng stood up and said, "I'll go and ask the host and Concubine Shen, they should know."
Bian Yuantong and Zeng Qianli bowed together: "Please."
Shen Qianqian and Qin Lingsi were also separated from the three of them in the north and south of the private room in Nie Hongniang’s pleasure boat.
Cai Heng moved very quickly and then called back and forth in a while.
"How is it? Have you asked clearly?" Zeng and Bian asked together.
Cai Heng touched his nose and said, "The king is indeed here, right across the pleasure boat. Zhang Shicheng, Zhao Junyong and Zhu Yuanzhang are also here. The one who just spoke was Zhao Junyong, King Yongyi!"
Bian Yuantong was surprised and said, "Why are they here too?"
Zeng Qianli narrowed his eyes and said, "I heard that King Yongyi and King Cheng are obsessed with Ge Xiao'e. I didn't believe it at first. Now, I'm afraid it's true!"
Bian Yuantong was silent for a while and said, "What should we do now? Should we still fight with them?"
Zeng Qianli thought for a while and said, "Since it's not the king who spoke, there is no need to worry about it. If we win, we might be able to win some face for the king!"
"What do you think Brother Cai?" Bian Yuantong asked again.
Cai Heng smiled and said, "I will never take action anyway."
Zeng Qianli smiled and said, "Brother Cai is too cautious. Brother Bian, let's go!" The two of them called out a servant and gave an order.
The two servants quickly came to the colored boat opposite and said a few words to the emcee.
The emcee smiled and said loudly: "Mr. Zeng, the Jiangdu Mansion, bought a 'Ten Thousand Horses' Prancing' for Nie Hongniang. Mr. Bian, the Jiangdu Mansion, bought a 'Ten Thousand Horses' Prancing' for Nie Hongniang."
Inside Ge Xiao'e's pleasure boat, Zhao Junyi frowned.
This time he came to Jiangdu Mansion, he did not bring too much silver. It was the limit to attacking ten thousand horses. Even if he wanted to help Ge Xiao'e again, he was powerless.
Zhang Shicheng sneered: "King Yongyi, Jiangdu Mansion is the richest place in the world. Isn't it boring to compete with others for financial resources here?"
Zhao Jun snorted without refuting.
After a while, a stick of incense burned, the literary fight finally ended, and Nie Hongniang won.
After the literary fight, there is the dance fight.
Amid the cheers of the audience below, Ge Xiaoe and Nie Hongniang walked up to the wooden platform one after another.
Zhang Yangquan looked at Ge Xiaoe first.
The woman was wearing a black dress, very young, about the same height as Shen Qianqian, with a thin waist and a buttocks as soft as boneless. She glanced at the north side, and her eyes were circling.
Zhang Yangquan looked at Nie Hongniang again. The woman was wearing a red dress, beautiful as fire, plump in figure and handsome features, and each had its own characteristics compared to Ge Xiao'e.
He thought the two girls would dance separately, but as a sound of drums and music sounded, the two girls actually started to move at the same time.
This is the first time Zhang Yangquan has seen this scene where he is fighting on the same stage and in the same song.
I saw a drum band on each side, playing the same song.
Although Zhang Yangquan did not recognize the title of the song, he listened carefully for a while and found it beautiful.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Junyong were both people who did not understand music. Only Zhang Shicheng has been exposed to dance music recently and has heard the origin of the music.
"So it's the drunken furong, it's rare!" he praised.
In the same song, Ge Xiao'e and Nie Hongniang's dance postures are completely different.
Nie Hongniang's dance music is soft and soothing, and her body and arms are like fallen leaves, moving in the wind, showing her delicate appearance.
Ge Xiao'e is different. Her rhythm is constantly changing, sometimes passionate and unrestrained, sometimes gentle and slow, forming a strange rhythm that makes people unable to bear to move the pearl.
Zhang Yangquan suddenly said, "I heard that Ge Xiao'e is good at dancing with colorful clothes!"
Zhang Shicheng glanced at him and smiled and said, "It seems that the King of Chu does not understand the rules of dancing. Both sides will give a question. This song is Nie Hongniang's title, and the next song is the dance of the colorful clothes!"
