Chapter 71 The Election Begins
As time comes, the twilight droops in the distance, and the red clouds in the distance spread across the sky, a pleasure boat travels from west to east on the Luo River.
The two sides of the Luo River were now full of people, and the crowd followed the movement of the pleasure boat and finally reached its end, Lord Linyuan.
Linyuan Pavilion is the tallest building in Yangzhou City. It is built on the edge of the Luo River and overlooks the scenery of the Luo River. Therefore, the annual election for courtesans is held here.
At that time, the pleasure boat will stop at Lord Linyuan, and the beauties will appear one by one for everyone to judge and appreciate. Here, the gold and literary list will be launched...
A golden list compares money, a literary list compares poetry, and a reward of thousands of gold and a essay. This is the celebrant, the unique celebrant.
Wang Kang has arrived at the highest level of Linyuan Pavilion at this moment, and this is the best place to watch the courtesan election.
All those who can climb here are the powerful people in the city. As the only son of Count Fuyang, Wang Kang will naturally have a place here.
"Young Master Kang is here!"
"Haha, I heard that Young Master Kang's heaven and earth are still under renovation, so he has sent a beauty to participate in the selection of the courtesan. It's really exciting!"
"Hmph, it's just a mediocre fan Dai. How good can it be? How can it be compared with Miss Xie?"
"Yes, Miss Xie is extremely charming and beautiful. Last year, she faced the famous prostitute Zhao Liangyin and was not lucky enough to win the championship. The prince will definitely be elected as the courtesan this year!"
After hearing the conversation around him, there were a few sarcasm mixed in. Wang Kang looked over and found that the person who spoke was Liu Cheng.
There were a few people gathered around him, some of whom were his old acquaintances, Dong Hui and Shen Linfeng.
Wang Kang glanced lightly, then said to Dong Hui: "Dong Hui, take care of your dog, don't let him bite people randomly!"
"You..." Liu Cheng's face turned red when he heard this, and his eyes were even more angry. Who wouldn't know that the Liu family had the same scenery as today with the support of the governor Dong Yiwu.
In secret, many people say that the Liu family is indeed a dog under Dong Yiwu, a dog that specializes in biting the Earl's Mansion.
But how many people dare to say this, but now Wang Kang speaks it in front of so many powerful people, which is enough to embarrass the Liu family.
This prodigal son's mouth is still as fierce as he is. The people who have been to Manxiang Pavilion before shook their heads secretly.
"Wang Kang, don't be proud. Just the people you sent out want to win the courtesan? What a big joke!"
"I also made bold statements, and I'm not afraid of wiping your tongue!" Dong Hui said with a bad expression.
He met Wang Kang as an enemy, and he was divided into jealousy.
"The defeated general!" Wang Kang looked at him lazy. This playboy was not worthy of his opponent at all, and his brother Dong Qian was almost the same.
"There's a good show!"
People exchanged their eyes. The people here are basically the younger generation of powerful descendants in the city. Seeing the two largest families in Yangzhou City, they are fighting in such a way that they have the idea of watching a good show.
"You... wait and see!" Seeing that Wang Kang was so contemptuous, Dong Hui felt greatly insulted. He looked at Wang Kang fiercely, and then turned to Shen Linfeng.
"Mr. Shen, I'll ask you today. When the woman Wang Kang's true praise appears, you will make a dirty poem for me to destroy his reputation. I want him to be a joke for the whole audience!"
"Mr. Dong is at ease. That day, Wang Kangding was secretly helping him. Today I am fully prepared and will help Miss Xie as the elected courtesan!"
"And I will definitely greet the woman sent by the prodigal son... Besides, I am not fighting alone today, but I also invited a friend to help!"
Chen Linfeng said again.
"Oh? I wonder which talented man he is, please recommend him?" Dong Hui became interested.
"I'm going to Zhang Bingsheng, I had some grudges with the prodigal son earlier. I heard Brother Chen talk about it, so I'll help me!" At this time, a young man stood up.
This person was officially scolded by Wang Kang before and used gold coins to lure the dancing person.
"So good!" Dong Hui nodded with a smile.
"Young Master Kang, come here!" Wang Kang was about to find a place to sit down when he heard someone calling his name.
He looked at it and found that it was the little fat man Zhang Qing. There was also a gentle young man sitting at the same table with him, which turned out to be Zhang Lanfeng.
Wang Kang was quite impressed by this person. That day in Manxiang Pavilion, everyone answered questions and became Miss Xie’s guest in the curtain.
There were so many people present at that time, most of them mocked Wang Kang, but Zhang Lanfeng did not. He was a pure scholar.
So later, he gave the quota he received to Zhang Lanfeng, but due to some changes, he gave up...
Wang Kang recalled that he walked over and sat down, and after saying hello to Zhang Qing, he turned his eyes to Zhang Lanfeng and asked in confusion: "Why didn't Brother Zhang sit there?"
Wang Kang signaled to Dong Hui that it was a circle formed around the governor.
"They are too hypocritical!" Zhang Lanfeng said bluntly.
This made Wang Kang even more confused. He said again: "I saw you that day, but I met you and Dong Hui."
"I'm just acquaintance with his brother Dong!" Zhang Lanfeng shook his head.
Then he approached Wang Kang again and crawled in his ear and whispered: "Young Master Kang, be careful of that Dong Gan. As far as I know, the Liu family's plans for your Earl's Mansion are all produced by this person... He is the one behind the scenes."
"This is also true for today's courtesan election. Dong Gan has invited Miss Xie from Manxiang Pavilion to enter the Lichunyuan of the Liu family to suppress your heaven and earth."
"So today they found a group of talented men to give their poems, and they wanted to praise the girl Xie as the courtesan!"
Zhang Lanfeng said again: "And the girl you invited will be criticized by them..."
After listening to what Zhang Lanfeng said, Wang Kang then realized why Liu Cheng and the others gathered here, and it turned out that there was such a conspiracy.
I didn't cause trouble for you, you came here first. Wang Kang shook his head, didn't care, and said to Zhang Lanfeng: "I thank Mr. Zhang for this."
"Haha," Zhang Lanfeng smiled and said, "Young Master Kang, don't be with me. If you don't dislike me, just call me Brother Zhang. I highly respect you, Mr. Kang!"
"What do you mean by Brother Zhang? What do you think of me, a famous prodigal son in the city?" Wang Kang said with a smile.
"If anyone looks down on Brother Kang, then he is truly stupid!"
"What are you two muttering about? Look, the pleasure boat is here!" Zhang Qing interrupted the conversation between them.
Wang Kang also looked at it when he heard the sound and saw the tall and gorgeous pleasure boat gradually approaching. At the top floor, women walked out of the eyes one after another.
"Qunfang Pavilion, Miss Qing'er!"
"Yan Chunlou, Miss Tan'er!"
Every time someone walks out, someone will sing specifically, and the women who appear are dressed beautifully, which will arouse people's cheers.
"Lichunyuan, Miss Xie!"
Another young woman walked out, which immediately aroused a sense of surprise. The women who appeared before were all dressed in colorful colors, but Xie Wanying was wearing a black dress, her slender body was faintly visible, and her whole body was full of charm.
"Miss Xie is here! She is here!"
"Ah, Miss Xie is still so charming. If you have the opportunity to spend a good night with Miss Xie, this life will be enough!"
"Isn't Miss Xie from Manxiang Pavilion? Why did it become Lichunyuan? Isn't Lichunyuan opened by the Liu family?"
People talked in a movie, and it was obvious that Xie Wanying was extremely popular.
At this time, Liu Cheng suddenly stood up and shouted: "Everyone doesn't know. Miss Xie has joined me as the top player in Lichunyuan. I hope everyone will come to support me!"
Liu Cheng said and then turned to Wang Kang, "Young Master Kang, Miss Xie from my Liu Family Lichunyuan has come out. How can you compare with your mediocre and vulgar daisy?"
"Just look, don't wait to blind your dog's eyes!" As soon as Wang Kang finished speaking, a loud voice rang out again.
"Heaven and earth, Li Qingman!"
