The Lotus Festival is about to begin, and the entire Huainan City is boiling. Boats of all sizes begin to arrive one after another, all docked at the bend of the lake, waiting. And the huge painting boat has been decorated a long time ago. It is gorgeous and rich. Even the oil paints on it have been repainted. Coupled with a large number of colorful flags, the whole thing looks like a giant stage. From a distance, it looks like a huge stage. Very eye-catching.
Layers of red lanterns have been hung up by the lake for a long time, and even the trees have been decorated. There are many lanterns hidden among the half-drunk lotus leaves, and they are made as if they are in full bloom. The lotus flowers were not much different from modern ones. Xinhu was stunned when he saw them. I thought I was back at an event in modern times.
And those guests who arrived early have already found out the names and preferences of the beauties who are most likely to compete for the oiran, as well as their specialties. I have to say that even brothels are very good at marketing. There are some new rumors coming out every day, and these popular figures have made countless new remarks. In short, people have already made people disappear before they even show up. Everyone knows it.
"Compared with some current talent shows, although there is no TV network, it is actually not much different if there is a segment. Xinhu and Dalang felt that as long as they went out, they would hear about the Lotus Festival no matter where they were. It can be seen that ancient people were also good at publicity and attracting the attention of guests.
¡°Moreover, there is a man in the game, Mr. Wushuang, beside them.
Because Wushuang is too busy, it is impossible to have time to get together with them every day, but she will take time to relax with them. For example, that boat is Wushuang's favorite place. Firstly, because there is no one to disturb her on the boat, and secondly, it is a quiet place. This area is already a remote corner of the city, but safety is very guaranteed. He can be free here and do whatever he wants. In fact, whenever he goes out, he will always dress up in disguise. In this way, he is like the most ordinary wealthy young man with nothing to do, fishing from time to time, and occasionally playing the flute or piano to find inspiration.
The time Wushuang can come out is usually in the morning, so lately he has been coming to the boat every morning.
Xinhu and Dalang chatted with him, and naturally they also talked about the most popular Lotus Festival.
"Wushuang, will anyone sing your music?" Xin Hu asked.
"Yes, there should be more than one song, right?" Wushuang replied.
"You said that there will be people participating in the Chunfeng Pavilion, so besides playing the piano and singing, what else can we do?" Xin Hu asked again.
"The people in Chunfeng Pavilion are all men, and playing the piano is the main part of the show. The biggest highlight should be that my apprentice will play." Wushuang said.
"Is your apprentice very good-looking and good at playing the piano?" Lian Dalang was a little interested this time. After all, with Wushuang Zhuyu in front of him, Chunfeng Pavilion couldn't send a bad person to the stage, right? .
"You will be disappointed now. Xiaochun has an ordinary appearance, but he is extremely talented at playing the piano. I plan to let him take over my class. If Chunfeng Pavilion wants to promote male sex, he will definitely not be able to get his turn. Put him It was only launched because Chunfeng Pavilion is still training musicians. Who is not scrambling for good musicians?" Wushuang explained.
Every brothel needs to play and sing, and musicians are naturally indispensable. Especially when performing major performances, multiple musicians are needed. Each brothel must have several of these specialized musicians, because each brothel will perform some programs that require the participation of many people to entertain the guests.
¡°Not every guest who comes to the brothel is looking for a beautiful woman to sleep with, there are also people who come to listen to music and watch singing and dancing. There were no good entertainment programs in ancient times. It was common to go to brothels to listen to music and watch dancing. Therefore, the singing and dancing in these big scenes were excellent. They were purely entertainment programs and were very popular with the public. It is not easy to arrange such a song and dance. Those who come to watch and appreciate it must also have money to spend, such as drinks and snacks, escort girls, etc. These charges are not low.
Therefore, every major brothel will introduce new ones every year, arrange several new songs and dances, and perform performances in turn. Some of the main characters participating in the show can rely on the income from these shows to make a living, and there is no need to sell themselves to accompany customers.
??The Lotus Festival is the best time to launch this kind of program. It not only brings out a famous girl, but also launches one's own finale program to build momentum and make a name for the entire brothel.
Although those red card girls may be able to play and sing themselves, they usually learn the pipa and can play and sing by themselves, but if they want to dance, they need musicians. Therefore, the future for musicians is not bad, so Chunfeng Pavilion has raised a lot of musicians and then sells them at high prices to make money.
Even some wealthy families will raise one or twoThey came on stage, spinning and kicking to the beat of the drums. It turned out to be Hu Wu. However, these beauties kept shaking their sleeves. Their long water sleeves were like flying rainbows. One of them still had a small drop hanging on the end of her sleeves. The hammer hit the huge drum in the center of the field, blending in with the other drumbeats, causing everyone to cheer and applaud. This opening dance was very impressive and easily aroused everyone's enthusiasm.
Xin Hu also cheered loudly, and his hands hurt from the clapping.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the drum beat ended, there was another clear sound of pipa. Different from the cheerful drum beat just now, this time the music was quite peaceful, but it had a long aftertaste. Then, the flute, guqin and other sounds sounded, and a lotus-like stage about the size of a washbasin appeared in the center of the field. The leaves of the lotus opened one by one, revealing a gauzy beauty in the middle, with layers of gauze clothes. The beauty can't hide her exquisite figure, dancing gracefully on a lotus platform the size of a basin, like a fairy under the moon. There are also several dancers in green surrounding the lotus, and they are like the green leaves surrounding the lotus. , but all of them have soft bodies and light bodies. And won bursts of applause.
Xinhu was simply dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, he saw the legendary Feiyanwu here.
After two dances, a beautiful middle-aged woman who still retains her charm and looks like a host came on stage. There was a girl standing on each side of her.
It turns out that this is a show for two companies. The lead dancer of the first dance is the rumored girl with a cigarette, and the beauty in gauze clothes of the second dance is the girl Ruliu.
The charming and beautiful woman led the two girls to the judges. Xin Hu stretched his neck and vaguely saw that the girls came back after walking around, holding a bouquet of lotus flowers in their hands.
? ?Obviously the judges have made their judgment. Everyone clearly saw that there were more lotus flowers in Miss Ruliu's hands. Needless to say, Ruliu won this round.
Sure enough, someone shouted: "In the first round, Miss Yicui Pavilion Ru Liu won."
The two girls came off the stage in a flourishing manner. Xin Hu said with some confusion: "Two lively people, they competed like this."
"This is just a dance, it will be better than others. And those Qingchen girls haven't come on stage yet." Dalang said.
Maybe it was because dancing three times in a row would make people bored. Next, the stage began to be decorated. Several large tables were quickly placed, with some pens, inks, paper and inkstones placed on them. Obviously, this The second time is to write poems and paintings.
This time it took a lot longer. Xin Hu drank two cups of tea, ate two snacks, and rested for a while. All the beauties on the stage finally stopped writing.
It takes a long time to wait for the results, so the show starts again.
This time it was actually a juggling act. Xin Hu almost jumped up with excitement, causing the boat to shake. Dalang quickly held her down and said, "Slow down, this is on the boat."
"Ah, ah, there are actually juggling, it's so worth it." Xin Hu said with a smile.
So, at midnight, the music finally came to an end, and tonight¡¯s competition program was over.
Some big boats started to leave, and then many small boats also left. Xinhu and Dalang had already decided to live on the boat and not go back. They just held the boat slowly to the edge of the river, found a quiet place, and rested after washing up.
For three days in a row, Xin Hu was dazzled by the variety of programs. Overall, she felt that these programs were better than some modern variety shows because there were many types and it would not make people feel bored after watching them too much. Although she knew early on that oirans had a lot of skills, it was only during the competition that she realized how broad an oiran's knowledge was, and she secretly marveled. No wonder some people pay a lot of money to support them. These courtesans are indeed worth the price. If we were to put it in modern times, these women would all be extremely smart beauties.
"If we put them all into society, these beauties would definitely have a great career. Unfortunately, this is ancient times, and these girls are still the lowest status prostitutes. Besides lamenting for them, Xin Hu didn't know what else he could do. At this time, she was thankful that she had met Dalang so early. Otherwise, it was hard to say what kind of situation she would have fallen into as a little girl alone. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
