Chapter 40 Chapter 40 is on fire
Yang Hao saw that Liu's mother was sweating profusely, so he didn't bother to ask any more questions, so he ran downstairs, Miao Miao hurriedly followed behind him, Liu's mother was obese, but fell behind.
Yang Hao went outside to take a look, and saw hundreds of women in colorful dresses tightly surrounding the oiran competition registration office, protesting softly: "This is a discriminating slave family. Is the slave family so unpopular? All the girls in Bianliang City can participate in the competition, and everyone can show their talents, so why not let my family participate in the competition? I, Lu Shuangshuang, refuse to accept it!"
"Wow, wow, if you don't tell a reason, our sisters won't leave today."
"That is, in the whole of Tokyo, there are thousands of houses in Youfang alleys and Yanguan karaoke houses. Everyone can participate. Where is the difference between our sisters?"
"I'm Hu Lianlian from Xichun Tower, and I want to sign up for the competition!"
"The girls from my Eternal Spring Palace will also participate in the competition!"
"I want I want……"
Mother Dai twisted her almost invisible waist, pointed at them with short, thick and fat fingers, and roared unusually fiercely: "What are you doing, I just don't want to see you, what's the matter, get out of here Far away, let me tell you, our "Qianjin Yixiaolou" is not easy to mess with. Behind my old lady, one is Mr. Yang, the envoy of the Nanya Court, and the other is Mr. Cui from Qizhou Prefecture in Shandong Province. One is powerful and the other is rich. , it’s not something you can offend, you all behave a little better to my old lady.”
Yang Hao frowned immediately when he heard it. In order to expand his influence, he wished that all the Yanguan opera houses in Bianjing would participate in the competition. Why is it forbidden to participate? Could it be that those old bustards, seeing the enthusiasm of the contestants, intend to extort money from others?
Yang Hao lowered his face, strode forward, and shouted in a deep voice: "Mother Dai, what's going on? Why do you want to prohibit people from ginseng? Are you so rude to them?"
That Mother Dai was instructing the helpers and buddies of Ruxuefang to suppress the order. When she saw him coming, she couldn't help being overjoyed, and when she heard him scolding herself, she couldn't help but humiliatedly said: "Master Yang, it's not that old people don't allow people to participate in the competition, it's really..."
"This is Mr. Yang? Oh, you really are a good-looking talent!" A tall and tall beauty in red winked at Yang Hao, leaned forward to hold his arm affectionately, and complained delicately: "Master Yang, you are the first to advocate the selection of the oiran, and now the whole Bianliang City is a sensation. I heard that there are many adults and wealthy gentry who come to comment. We girls in Fengyuefang have never been so beautiful, but you see ..."
She pursed her red-painted lips and said reluctantly: "Look at them bullying others and not allowing my family to compete. Master Yang, you have to be the master of my family."
While speaking, she shook Yang Hao's arm. The girl's voice was a bit rough, but she was pretty. Before Yang Hao could answer, the girls gathered around and said in a hurry: " Oh, this is Mr. Yang? Mr. Yang, my servant Kang Sanru also wants to vote for your "Thousand Gold Yixiao Building", I wonder if you will accept it?"
"Master Yang, my family is the wizard of the Chrysanthemum Pavilion. I heard that there will be three subjects in this flower list. I wonder how many people will be selected for each subject?"
For a while, Yingyingyanyan, fat and greasy, Yang Hao couldn't resist, he quickly pulled out his hand and took a few steps back, Miaomiao caught up in time, glanced at the girls, frowned in disgust, and moved closer Yang Hao whispered in his ear: "My lord, they are all like aunts."
"Huh? What?" Firstly, there were a lot of people talking, and secondly, Yang Hao was really not familiar with this word, so he couldn't help turning his head and asking, Miaomiao blushed, and whispered again: "They are all like aunts in the hive, Oh, it's just...it's... Master Rabbit!"
The girl who was holding Yang Hao's arm and acting coquettishly just now was not happy, she crossed her slender waist, rolled her eyes at Miaomiao, and said coquettishly, "What are you talking about, little girl, who is the rabbit master?"
As soon as she raised her head, her Adam's apple was exposed, and when Yang Hao saw that it was indeed a man, the hairs on the places he hugged stood up.
It turns out that in this prosperous place of Kaifeng, male prostitutes are more rampant than those in the Northwest. These male prostitutes wear rouge, wear beautiful clothes, speak, address, sit, lie and walk just like women, but the most popular among them is not called the top card or the leader of the line. , And called master witch, line head.Yang Hao was going to the Huakui Contest, and he never thought that there were so many male prostitutes here, let alone that they came to the door indignantly because they didn't receive the invitation.
Yang Hao felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart: instead of being a good man, he would pretend to be a woman.Now that all industries are emerging in the Song Dynasty, people are employed everywhere, as long as they are willing to endure hardships, they will not be starved to death. Do they have to hold on to this lowly industry?
Those fake women were still chattering, Yang Hao yelled: "Choose an oiran, of course it's a woman, you good men don't do it, all of you are smeared, shameless, and dare to come here to make noise, get out! Get out of here!" "
It was not until the Zhenghe period that the Song Dynasty began to pay attention to the increasingly serious problem of male prostitution, and issued a decree to ban male prostitution, but it was just a dead letter, and there was no way to ban it.This is more than a hundred years later, and now the imperial court has no order in this regard, Yang Hao was furious, and those aunts who looked like aunts were not afraid of him, and immediately protested loudly and made a noise.
"Noisy, noisy, what's the noise?" Yang Hao felt disgusted when he saw that they were still talking in female voices, and immediately commanded: "What are you still looking at, drive them away, and beat them out if they don't know how to be funny again."
"Oh, Mr. Yang, can someone as elegant as you do such a tricky thing?"
"You're a dead ladyboy, Fengya, you're big!" Yang Hao was furious, picked up the writing brush on the registration platform and threw it over, hitting the "flower" on the face with a "slap", splashing immediately His face was covered with ink, and then he stretched out his hand to grab the inkstone again. When Miao Miao saw it, he ran over and hugged his hand tightly, and begged softly: "My lord, please calm down, my lord, please calm down. Why are you standing still, why don't you drive them away!"
Seeing that the adults were all ready to do something, those invited by the "Thousands of Gold and a Smile Building" to write posts for the banquet, make hands in the room, help each other downstairs, bastards, and servants all rushed forward, showing their lustful power.After a lot of punching and kicking, those Yingying Yanyans ran away with their heads in their arms, and three phoenix hairpins and two embroidered shoes were left on the ground, both of which were left feet.
On the opening day of "Thousands of Gold and a Smile Building", before the Bianliang Oiran Competition officially kicked off, the story of Yang Hao expelling the "beehive" male prostitutes spread in Bianliang City, and it became the most interesting tidbit before the competition.But all decent people, especially officials and scholars, are deeply disgusted by the fact that men are female and serve others with their bodies. When people talked about it and laughed about it after dinner, they also confirmed his recklessness and simplicity. The Oiran Competition was held as scheduled. The Youfang Lane and Yanguan Songlou in Bianliang City, Tokyo, reached about 3,000 houses at their peak, but now there are only about 1,000 houses. There are only two girls, that is more than two thousand girls, plus their personal maids and dancers, how many women will there be?Which of these women is not one in a million and beautiful?They are all dressed up brilliantly and gathered in the "Thousands of Gold and One Smile Building", what is the effect? There are tens of thousands of people in the Xiangshu En Palace who came to cheer for the two thousand red girls alone, not to mention the tourists who came to see the excitement after hearing the news. The subordinates sent people to guard, and they charged ten cents to buy a ticket to enter the venue. Only then did they control the number of people in the building.After this hype, the reputation of "Thousands of Gold and One Smile Building" became very popular for a while. There are two kinds of judges for the contest, one is officials in the court and celebrities in the field, and the other is powerful merchants in various industries in Bianliang City.Yang Hao invited officials and celebrities to be judges, mainly to expand the influence. In the future, the main business targets of "Thousands of Gold and One Smile Building" will be people like them. Leave a deep impression on your heart.At the same time, they came here today to join us as judges, which is just a gesture. In the future, no matter the government tax collectors or the hooligans in the alleys, they will know that this Yixiaolou has a great background, and it will save a lot of trouble. The other kind of people are big merchants with strong strength in various industries in Bianliang City. They are invited mainly to attract sponsorship.They have money, but they lack status and fame. Now letting them sit at the same table as the officials who usually kneel down to greet them, greatly satisfies their vanity, and the money is spent happily.Of course, in terms of business, they also have to use the event to advertise. Since the end of Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, merchants have had a relatively strong awareness of advertising, but apart from setting up banners and marking their own exclusive logos on their products, they lack wider advertising channels. Yang Hao provided them with this Naturally, they had to make good use of the opportunity. Advertisements were flying all over the building inside and outside the "Thousand Gold Smile Building" for a while. The lively scene had never been seen before, and it became a scene in Kaifeng. This time, in the selection of the oiran, Yang Hao imitated the imperial examination system and opened three subjects and three rankings.The first list is the flower list, which wins by color, and is selected from the aspects of body, appearance, and temperament.The second list is the martial arts list, which competes in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, dance instruments, and is recorded by talent.The third list is the leaf list, which means that the safflower must be accompanied by green leaves.The objects of selection are these servants who are red cards in the house.You must know that any headed girl of some status needs a knowledgeable, witty and clever maid when she treats others and serves guests. If the people around her are dumb and let the girl figure out everything by herself, it will be very boring.Therefore, a single leaf list was set up. Yang Hao's idea immediately won the favor of all the girls.We must know that some girls are charming in appearance and unparalleled in beauty, but their talents are limited to natural talents, but they are mediocre. If you want to comprehensively evaluate all the elements, she is as beautiful as Xi Shi, so it is hard to say that she will not fail the selection. On the other hand, there are some girls who are extremely talented but mediocre in appearance. Once they are comprehensively evaluated, they will not be able to stand out. After all, even Confucius once expressed the feeling that "I have never seen a person who is as virtuous as a womanizer", and they are beautiful. The always want to take advantage of some cheap.Not to mention those green leaves, if it wasn't for Yang Hao's creativity, they wouldn't have a chance to stand out. However, this Green Leaf List was brought up suddenly just before the start of the game. Yang Hao declared to the outside world that in order to prevent someone from premeditating, other outstanding girls in the yard were pretended to be servant girls, so he suddenly announced it when the game started. and register.But Miaomiao knew that Yang Hao's sudden addition to this list was completely tailor-made for her. The little girl didn't say anything in front of Yang Hao, but her heart was tied to him. About setting up three subjects and three rankings, imitating imperial imperial examinations, Yang Hao vaguely remembered that there was such a gimmick in history when literati and poets chose the oiran, but he didn't remember when it happened, and he didn't know if he would do it. It will cause dissatisfaction among some courtiers, and they will impeach themselves, so they have tested Zhao Guangyi's meaning. Zhao Guangyi has become more and more polite to him recently. When he has nothing to do, he often comes to the Huoqingyuan to sit and chat with Yang Hao, and sometimes he makes a joke.He also heard that Yang Hao had invested and built a "Thousand Gold Smile Building" with others, and he asked Yang Hao face to face with great interest. Yang Hao took the opportunity to talk about his idea. Zhao Guangyi was not angry when he heard it, but hilarious Laughing, saying that he has no ink, but is full of ingenuity, this idea is really interesting. Yang Hao saw that the officials and scholars at this time were really enlightened, far from the stupid and corrupt virtues of later generations, and his courage suddenly strengthened.The Huabang, Wubang, and Yebang each open three rankings, and the top three are the No. 1 Scholar, Second Place, and Tanhua respectively.Twelve people in the second class, the number of twelve golden hairpins, are called Jinshi, and the rest are the top three.The competition was held for seven full days, and the top three talents in each ranking were selected, a total of three rankings and nine people, and the first place in the leaf ranking was obviously Miss Miaomiao. The next step is to choose the oiran.Wu Wa'er, Liu Duo'er, Wen Xijun and Shen Rao did not participate in the preliminary selection, they directly participated in the finals.In this way, there is a sense of attacking and defending again, and it also arouses everyone's interest even more. The No. 1, No. 2, and No. 1 women in Hua, Wu, and Ye's three rankings are all qualified to challenge the top four rankings and compete for the top prize.But as everyone expected, the three girls in Yebang gave up their competition for the right at the same time.They are the close maids of their own girls, and at the same time they are half of their apprentices. At that time, people valued respecting their masters most, so how could they have the courage to stand up and compete with their masters for the oiran. The No. 1 winner in the Flower Ranking and Dance Rankings considers that after entering the Oiran Competition, they consider the comprehensive strength of beauty, talent, and conversation. They know that it is difficult to compete with the top four. If it's all right, I'll accept it, and go home after winning the title of No. 1 in the flower list and No. 1 in the dance list. I am already worth a hundred times, and the guests in the future must be ten times as much as they are now. Those who are willing to participate in the finals are the No. 2 and No. 1 flowers in the flower rankings and dance rankings. Being able to compete with the top four is enough to give them gold.But there is no suspense in this way, the final oiran will still be produced among the four heads.Yang Hao suspended the game for three days at the right time, allowing everyone to comment on the game during this period, which whetted everyone's appetite.At the same time, small posters and advertisements were posted all over the city of Bianjing: the four major banks will perform on the same stage, and the winner will be decided in one match. The Baixi Building has officially opened. For the first performance, admission is by ticket, and each ticket is 100 guan.One hundred guan, the monthly salary of a high-ranking regimental trainer is only 300 guan, and this 300 guan money is used to pay for his family, family servants, plus the welcome and sending rewards. , but now they have to take out one-third.Man said that it would be worth it if he took out one-third of his salary, even if it was a month's salary, if he was the head of the four major industries performing for him alone, but now he is just an ordinary spectator.But even so, the tickets were sold out in an instant. After all, such an opportunity may only come once in a lifetime. It was night, and the lanterns outside Baixi Tower were hung like stars in the sky. Not only the lanterns outside Baixi Tower were like stars, but also the other four high-rise buildings that were not yet fully completed and connected to Baixi Tower through flying bridges. Colorful lanterns look like palaces in the sky from a distance, especially the tallest Baiwei Tower built on the bank of the Bian River, like a starry pagoda, shining in the flames of the Bian River, dozens of alleys far away, also You can see its splendor like Qionglou Yuyu. There was a lot of voices outside Baixi Tower.This place is not far from the Zhouqiao Night Market in front of Yujie Street. There are always people coming and going. In addition, tonight is the performance of the four major performers on the same stage. When the winner is decided, more people will come to see it. lively.It's a pity that tonight's competition is different from the seven-day open competition. There are no tickets, and there are people who talk about it, and they can't even hear their voices. The unprecedented oiran contest has really caused a sensation in the entire city of Bianjing. Not only men, but also women must talk about the oiran battle. This matter has attracted everyone's attention.Many dignitaries and dignitaries sent their family members to buy tickets in advance, changed into casual clothes tonight, and quietly entered the venue with their friends or wives and wives to watch. In a corner of the big theater, an unremarkable person was sitting, probably He was a senior minister of the second and third ranks of the imperial court. As a result, even the Kaifeng Mansion became tense, and many police officers were ordered to maintain order. Before the show started in Baixi Building, the police officers outside had already caught seven habitual thieves, two gangs of fighters, and one because Can't find mom, snot-bubbling little kid. The theater is full of seats, but there are not many people. The four heads of the line perform on the same stage, which is not a flyover style. Anyone can come up to watch. The reason why the guests below are too slow is because the tables take up a lot of space. Space.At the front are the seats for the top ten judges, and behind them are the dignitaries who bought tickets to enter. The young servants quickly shuttled under the stage, delivering plates of exquisite dishes to their tables. Today is not only the day when the four heads of the four major industries perform their performances to win the top prize, but also a good opportunity for the owners of Baiweilou to compete for customers. They have invited the best chefs to make the most exquisite food, so that the guests will never forget the food here.The famous chef Bai Linbai, who is known as Mrs. Huarui of the Shu Kingdom, did not show up, and no one in the outside world knew of his existence. According to Yang Hao, the baggage needs to be shaken one by one. Since he is in the entertainment circle, You have to keep your attention all the time. The performance started, the curtain was slowly opened amidst the rumbling thunder, the rain and fog filled the air, there were vines and strange rocks on the stage, and the distant mountains and near shadows were intertwined, creating a primitive and wild natural scene. The guests were stunned for a moment, they had seen a lot of regular performances, when had they seen a drama that could be performed like this?This... This is the scorching summer, when the sky outside the building is full of stars, where is the thunder coming from?Where did such precarious rain and fog come from?Why are there vines, strange rocks and towering trees on the stage?The drizzle swayed with the wind, and the guests sitting in the first few rows even felt the damp wind on their faces. Yang Hao, who was sitting in a corner, watched with satisfaction the astonishment on the faces of the guests and even the judges. After more than two months of hard work, it finally came out today. I want you to see my skills. The sound of thunder, rain, wind, and even the chirping of birds and insects in the virgin forest under the invasion of wind and rain is not worth mentioning, but the best ventriloquist was hired to hold a paper tube loudspeaker behind the scenes simulated sound.The drizzle was produced at the height of the stage with the finest showers.As for the jagged rocks, they are placed with colored wooden blocks, and the flowers and trees, the nearby ones are silk flowers and silk grasses, and the trees and mountains in the distance are the background curtain, using lights to create a distinct layering three-dimensional sense. Wu Wa'er, the head of Bianliang's first line, was the first to appear on the stage, and her appearance once again subverted the perception of performance by the well-informed dignitaries present.When she came out of the "cave" covered by wisterias with ethereal and cheerful singing, she was wearing a white dress and combing two buns. With a smile, a line and a line, there are all kinds of styles.And...and her ears are pointy, and a big fluffy tail is exposed behind her skirt... "Can a play be performed like this?" All the guest officials petrified again. The drama designed by Yang Hao is a story based on several traditional dramas. Of course, he only proposes the idea of the story, provides various stunt ideas and techniques, specific performances, lyrics, and music. Created by Liu Duo'er in accordance with the appreciation habits and levels of people in this era. Immediately afterwards, Liu Duo'er dressed as a scholar appeared on the stage, and the charming Liu Daxingshou suddenly changed into men's clothes. Although he was charming, he had a somewhat more neutral temperament, which made the guests stunned again.The guests found that it was quite different from what they had expected. When Liu Xingshou and Wu Xingshou were not fighting each other, but cooperating with each other to perform a play, they were even more amazed at their way of fighting. The story begins to unfold, and each scene changes a scene, and each scene will give people some new surprises. A little fox was hunted down by a hunter, but fortunately was rescued by a kind boy.Thousands of years later, the former little white fox cultivated into a human form and transformed into a cute, carefree little fox girl Ying Ning.She met a poor scholar who went to Beijing to rush for the exam and went to the forest to escape the rain, and she recognized that he was the reincarnation of the young man thousands of years ago. In order to repay him, she followed him out of the forest without complaint.One person and one monster fell in love with each other. Reading at night with candles, red sleeves add fragrance, and the fragrance is beautiful, which is in line with the pursuit of fragrance and beauty of these scholars in the audience. The little fox girl accompanied the poor scholar to Beijing to rush for the exam. The demon king who coveted the beauty of the little fox girl sent the snake girl to take her back as captive. Fortunately, she was rescued by a young ascetic monk.After the poor scholar was named on the gold list, the grand master wanted to recruit the champion of the current subject as his son-in-law, so he used both soft and hard tactics, and secretly tricked him, making the little fox girl mistakenly think that the scholar had changed his mind and left sadly.The poor scholar became sick from missing, hanged his seal and left. When he was about to die forever in a dilapidated ancient temple, the little fox girl who learned the truth rushed to his side again and saved his life with the inner alchemy she had cultivated for thousands of years. And the little fox girl who lost her mana is about to return to her original form, so she can only return to the mountains with tears in her eyes. The two once again made a thousand-year agreement... Xueyu's twins turned into golden snakes and silver snakes, wearing a shiny snake-print tights made of gold and silver foils, vividly interpreting the graceful and charming body language.The eyes of all the male guests are attracted, unfortunately, their dance moves are changing so fast, you will never be able to look at the part you admire the most for two seconds, and when they appear, it is either lightning or wind and rain , the lights are flickering... how can you see clearly! "By the way, this is what I want!" Seeing their obsessively following eyes, Yang Hao snickered secretly. Immediately afterwards, the famous sentences passed down from generation to generation that let the literati appreciate each other appeared one by one. If the relationship between the two lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night... Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless in the world... The furthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, but when I stand in front of you, you don't know that I love you... If life is only as it was first seen, why is the autumn wind sadly drawing a fan; There was once a sincere love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it... Some officials and gentry were so carried away by what they heard, they even grabbed Xiao Er and asked for a pen and paper, and excitedly wrote down these wonderful words. Yang Hao can't remember the whole of these amazing and wonderful sentences, but he knows the most exciting part. If he is showing off poetry in ordinary times, he can't read these sentences without beginning and end. Come out, but now they are integrated into the drama, as the lines of the hero and heroine, but they have become priceless treasures like night pearls, and the guests are mesmerized... Love is the eternal theme; the story of the scholar and the fox spirit is even more tear-jerking. The little fox girl rescued the scholar with inner alchemy and was about to return to her original shape. Crying like a tearful person, Wu Wa'er's sad and mournful voice resounded throughout the audience. This song does not lose the classical beauty, but it is the original "White Fox" that directly touches people's hearts, sending that novelty and moving feeling to everyone. personal heart. "I am a fox who has loved for thousands of years, A thousand years of love, a thousand years of loneliness, In the long night, do you know who to make up my red makeup for? In the world of mortals, do you know who combs my hair for..." This is the second time they have felt this feeling.Liu Duo'er sang "When will the moon be there" at Longting Lake, that novel but extremely provocative song, has already been sung in the streets and alleys, and it is unexpected that Wu Wa'er can also sing such a novel and beautiful song Song, contest, in the invisible. The guests couldn't care less about chattering, and the novelty hadn't disappeared yet. The water fox girl who rescued the scholar had already floated up in the sad singing, slowly drifting towards the night sky, towards the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Like Chang'e flying to the moon. "I am a fox that has been guarding for thousands of years, Watching for thousands of years and being helpless for thousands of years, See me dancing for you with beauty from the depths of love, Listen to me sing for you when love hurts, Han Chuang study hard, you and I have sworn each other deeply, The Jinbang Anniversary is a long way to go..." Hanging wire, this is a film stunt invented by filmmakers, and it is absolutely unimaginable in this era.This scene is an ancient temple on a moonlit night, the light is dim, only a round of bright moon above the curtain emits a bright and clear light.Wu Wa'er's petite body is lifted up by three strands of fine silk of the same color as the curtain, her belt is fluttering, she is flying against the wind, who can see the mystery?Tonight's performance was wonderful, and the unexpected waves finally set off a huge wave at the moment when Wu Wa'er swayed Wia into the air, and the audience went crazy like a tsunami. "Can I cry for love, I am still the white fox who loved you thousands of years ago, How many springs come and go, day and night, Life after life is your fox..." The lights gradually dimmed, the curtain slowly fell, and the last song, like a vow, was still lingering. Wonderful!Wonderful!Don't say one hundred hits, even three hundred hits, five hundred hits, such a wonderful performance is worth it.The unsatisfied guests applauded enthusiastically.Only now did the judges come to their senses, realizing that they were not ordinary spectators, and they still had important things to do to select the oiran. At this time, they suddenly realized that it was a big mistake to take advantage of the judges' privileges to bring their wives and daughters here tonight. The two most important women in their family have been completely fascinated by Liu Duo'er's very neutral and beautiful appearance of a scholar and wonderful performances. For example, in "A Chinese Ghost Story", Liu Duo'er, who is dressed as Ning Caichen, is very talented in acting. She portrays the desolation and innocence when she first met the little fox girl, the handsomeness and complacency of the leader of high school wearing the red champion robe, and the unsatisfactory loss. The longing and sadness of the fox queen, and her unwavering love for power and wealth, are vividly performed. Those tearful people were holding small handkerchiefs and looking at them eagerly. Some begged in a low voice, and some directly threatened them. Although they were fascinated by the little fox girl played by Wu Wa'er, if Sheliu Duo is only Wu Wa, so if I go back tonight, my family will be in trouble.Besides, there is no doubt about Liu Duo'er's appearance, and her exquisite performance is indeed not inferior to Wu Wa'er. When she was the champion in high school, "I have also been to Qionglin Banquet, and I have also played in front of Ma Yujie..." His beautiful singing voice is still echoing in their ears. In the midst of a dilemma, the two chess pieces embedded in the judges began to play a role. They sang together and smiled and threw out the perfect proposal of the double oirans... Perfect! When the guests poured out of the "Baixi Tower", the sky was full of stars, the summer heat was gone, and a gentle breeze was blowing in. When many people who were waiting outside to listen to the letter asked about the candidates for this year's oiran, they were still dazed. I was intoxicated in the wonderful plot, and the splendor of tonight is destined to set off another heat wave in Tokyo tomorrow, adding another three points to the heat of Bianliang City, which has entered the scorching summer. On the corridor outside the second floor of Baixi Building, Yang Hao, Cui Dalang and the four chiefs who came excitedly looked at the crowds outside the building. Cui Dalang smiled and said: "A big success, a big success, I see, let's do it again!" Ten games can still be full." Shen Rao said tenderly: "My lord, did you say that next time, let the slave family and Sister Xijun do...do..." Wen Xijun couldn't wait to follow: "Be the protagonist!" "exactly!" Xueyu Shuangjiao knew that they were inferior to Wu Wa'er and Liu Duo'er, and the oiran battle could only happen between the two of them, so they didn't expect to be the leader at all.But during the rehearsal, when they saw such a performance for the first time, they were overwhelmed.From their eyes, it can be seen that if Yang Hao intends to cultivate them, today's oiranship is just a temporary dispute, and once this new performance mode is created, their fame and career will be even higher. In the long run, I willingly became a green leaf. Yang Hao smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have a story tailored for you, when the time comes..." As soon as he said this, he suddenly noticed three lights flickering in the night sky in the distance, his expression changed suddenly, and he looked carefully, and the three lights in the night sky could be clearly seen, they circled and shook three times , and then turned off again, and after a while, the light came on again. Yang Hao changed his face, this is the light signal of the watchtowers. The watchtowers he built in various places in the city are responsible for monitoring the fire situation in the city at night. They use flags as signs during the day and lights as signs at night. When a fire breaks out somewhere, immediately send a signal to other places.With the palace as the center, the number of flags or lights represents the distance from the fire location to the palace.The three lights represent the most central location in Kaifeng City, which is already close to Da Nei. Yang Hao immediately rushed to the other side of Baixi Tower, Xueyu Shuangjiao heard Yang Hao's promise, and was overjoyed when he suddenly saw him change color and run away, not knowing why, everyone followed him and arrived at Baixi Tower On the north side, I saw a place in the night where the flames were soaring into the sky, burning blazingly. Wu Wa'er blurted out: "The Yushi Terrace and Shangshu Terrace on Xijiaolou Street are flooded. Oh, it's not good. With today's wind direction, if the fire is bigger, it will burn into the Shangshu Province and the Privy Council, and even the Imperial Palace. It's also inevitable." Yang Hao turned around and left, hurried downstairs, asked for a horse, and ran towards the west corner building.Zhouqiao night market was full of people, singing songs all night long. Tonight because of the "Thousands of Gold and a Smiling House" oiran competition, the flow of people was a bit more crowded than usual. Yang Hao couldn't even run on a horse, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. After he got on the spacious Royal Street, he picked up his speed. Yang Hao turned left and rushed to Xijiaolou Street, only to see the firemen wearing patrol clothes with the word "fire" pushing the water truck along the way. Carrying the hook saw and scratching the hook, he rushed there. When Yang Hao arrived there, all the fire arresters in the nearby alleys were already in place. Because Kaifeng Mansion was close to Yushi Terrace and Shangshu Terrace, a large number of people had rushed to it. A building in Yushi Terrace was too big to be extinguished. It has been hooked down by fire catchers with hooks, ropes, etc., and the fire has been completely controlled.Surrounded by vigilant yamen servants, the courtyard was piled up with rescued documents and files, and several disheveled officials stood in the courtyard in a daze. Yang Hao put his heart into his stomach immediately, just now he saw the fire in Baixi Building, the fire was not small, the fire was extinguished so timely, it is obvious that the arrangements he made played a big role.He jumped off his horse, and before he stepped forward to ask a few words, he felt the ground tremble slightly, and rumbled footsteps sounded. After hearing the news, the guards from the brigade rushed over. Taiwan, together to inspect the fire, indicating that the fire has been extinguished. The two were talking, when the gong bang sounded, and Zhao Guangyi arrived in a hurry. He was obviously relieved when he saw the fire, but then he straightened his face and sternly shouted: "The imperial court has repeatedly stated that it is necessary to use fire at night." Strict vigilance, since there are people in this building, why sit back and watch the fire start? All the officials in this building were taken away when the fire broke out, and the government will thoroughly investigate the cause of the fire. Check the fire immediately if the criminal officer has arrived !" After he finished speaking, he turned to the general of the imperial army, changed his smile, and was about to praise the imperial army for the timely rescue, when another voice of a man and a woman shouted outside: "By the holy order, inspect the fire situation in the west corner building. The fire Has it ever been extinguished, has the various divisions arrived, whoever is in charge of fighting the fire, please report to our family immediately!"
On the opening day of "Thousands of Gold and a Smile Building", before the Bianliang Oiran Competition officially kicked off, the story of Yang Hao expelling the "beehive" male prostitutes spread in Bianliang City, and it became the most interesting tidbit before the competition.But all decent people, especially officials and scholars, are deeply disgusted by the fact that men are female and serve others with their bodies. When people talked about it and laughed about it after dinner, they also confirmed his recklessness and simplicity. The Oiran Competition was held as scheduled. The Youfang Lane and Yanguan Songlou in Bianliang City, Tokyo, reached about 3,000 houses at their peak, but now there are only about 1,000 houses. There are only two girls, that is more than two thousand girls, plus their personal maids and dancers, how many women will there be?Which of these women is not one in a million and beautiful?They are all dressed up brilliantly and gathered in the "Thousands of Gold and One Smile Building", what is the effect? There are tens of thousands of people in the Xiangshu En Palace who came to cheer for the two thousand red girls alone, not to mention the tourists who came to see the excitement after hearing the news. The subordinates sent people to guard, and they charged ten cents to buy a ticket to enter the venue. Only then did they control the number of people in the building.After this hype, the reputation of "Thousands of Gold and One Smile Building" became very popular for a while. There are two kinds of judges for the contest, one is officials in the court and celebrities in the field, and the other is powerful merchants in various industries in Bianliang City.Yang Hao invited officials and celebrities to be judges, mainly to expand the influence. In the future, the main business targets of "Thousands of Gold and One Smile Building" will be people like them. Leave a deep impression on your heart.At the same time, they came here today to join us as judges, which is just a gesture. In the future, no matter the government tax collectors or the hooligans in the alleys, they will know that this Yixiaolou has a great background, and it will save a lot of trouble. The other kind of people are big merchants with strong strength in various industries in Bianliang City. They are invited mainly to attract sponsorship.They have money, but they lack status and fame. Now letting them sit at the same table as the officials who usually kneel down to greet them, greatly satisfies their vanity, and the money is spent happily.Of course, in terms of business, they also have to use the event to advertise. Since the end of Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, merchants have had a relatively strong awareness of advertising, but apart from setting up banners and marking their own exclusive logos on their products, they lack wider advertising channels. Yang Hao provided them with this Naturally, they had to make good use of the opportunity. Advertisements were flying all over the building inside and outside the "Thousand Gold Smile Building" for a while. The lively scene had never been seen before, and it became a scene in Kaifeng. This time, in the selection of the oiran, Yang Hao imitated the imperial examination system and opened three subjects and three rankings.The first list is the flower list, which wins by color, and is selected from the aspects of body, appearance, and temperament.The second list is the martial arts list, which competes in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, dance instruments, and is recorded by talent.The third list is the leaf list, which means that the safflower must be accompanied by green leaves.The objects of selection are these servants who are red cards in the house.You must know that any headed girl of some status needs a knowledgeable, witty and clever maid when she treats others and serves guests. If the people around her are dumb and let the girl figure out everything by herself, it will be very boring.Therefore, a single leaf list was set up. Yang Hao's idea immediately won the favor of all the girls.We must know that some girls are charming in appearance and unparalleled in beauty, but their talents are limited to natural talents, but they are mediocre. If you want to comprehensively evaluate all the elements, she is as beautiful as Xi Shi, so it is hard to say that she will not fail the selection. On the other hand, there are some girls who are extremely talented but mediocre in appearance. Once they are comprehensively evaluated, they will not be able to stand out. After all, even Confucius once expressed the feeling that "I have never seen a person who is as virtuous as a womanizer", and they are beautiful. The always want to take advantage of some cheap.Not to mention those green leaves, if it wasn't for Yang Hao's creativity, they wouldn't have a chance to stand out. However, this Green Leaf List was brought up suddenly just before the start of the game. Yang Hao declared to the outside world that in order to prevent someone from premeditating, other outstanding girls in the yard were pretended to be servant girls, so he suddenly announced it when the game started. and register.But Miaomiao knew that Yang Hao's sudden addition to this list was completely tailor-made for her. The little girl didn't say anything in front of Yang Hao, but her heart was tied to him. About setting up three subjects and three rankings, imitating imperial imperial examinations, Yang Hao vaguely remembered that there was such a gimmick in history when literati and poets chose the oiran, but he didn't remember when it happened, and he didn't know if he would do it. It will cause dissatisfaction among some courtiers, and they will impeach themselves, so they have tested Zhao Guangyi's meaning. Zhao Guangyi has become more and more polite to him recently. When he has nothing to do, he often comes to the Huoqingyuan to sit and chat with Yang Hao, and sometimes he makes a joke.He also heard that Yang Hao had invested and built a "Thousand Gold Smile Building" with others, and he asked Yang Hao face to face with great interest. Yang Hao took the opportunity to talk about his idea. Zhao Guangyi was not angry when he heard it, but hilarious Laughing, saying that he has no ink, but is full of ingenuity, this idea is really interesting. Yang Hao saw that the officials and scholars at this time were really enlightened, far from the stupid and corrupt virtues of later generations, and his courage suddenly strengthened.The Huabang, Wubang, and Yebang each open three rankings, and the top three are the No. 1 Scholar, Second Place, and Tanhua respectively.Twelve people in the second class, the number of twelve golden hairpins, are called Jinshi, and the rest are the top three.The competition was held for seven full days, and the top three talents in each ranking were selected, a total of three rankings and nine people, and the first place in the leaf ranking was obviously Miss Miaomiao. The next step is to choose the oiran.Wu Wa'er, Liu Duo'er, Wen Xijun and Shen Rao did not participate in the preliminary selection, they directly participated in the finals.In this way, there is a sense of attacking and defending again, and it also arouses everyone's interest even more. The No. 1, No. 2, and No. 1 women in Hua, Wu, and Ye's three rankings are all qualified to challenge the top four rankings and compete for the top prize.But as everyone expected, the three girls in Yebang gave up their competition for the right at the same time.They are the close maids of their own girls, and at the same time they are half of their apprentices. At that time, people valued respecting their masters most, so how could they have the courage to stand up and compete with their masters for the oiran. The No. 1 winner in the Flower Ranking and Dance Rankings considers that after entering the Oiran Competition, they consider the comprehensive strength of beauty, talent, and conversation. They know that it is difficult to compete with the top four. If it's all right, I'll accept it, and go home after winning the title of No. 1 in the flower list and No. 1 in the dance list. I am already worth a hundred times, and the guests in the future must be ten times as much as they are now. Those who are willing to participate in the finals are the No. 2 and No. 1 flowers in the flower rankings and dance rankings. Being able to compete with the top four is enough to give them gold.But there is no suspense in this way, the final oiran will still be produced among the four heads.Yang Hao suspended the game for three days at the right time, allowing everyone to comment on the game during this period, which whetted everyone's appetite.At the same time, small posters and advertisements were posted all over the city of Bianjing: the four major banks will perform on the same stage, and the winner will be decided in one match. The Baixi Building has officially opened. For the first performance, admission is by ticket, and each ticket is 100 guan.One hundred guan, the monthly salary of a high-ranking regimental trainer is only 300 guan, and this 300 guan money is used to pay for his family, family servants, plus the welcome and sending rewards. , but now they have to take out one-third.Man said that it would be worth it if he took out one-third of his salary, even if it was a month's salary, if he was the head of the four major industries performing for him alone, but now he is just an ordinary spectator.But even so, the tickets were sold out in an instant. After all, such an opportunity may only come once in a lifetime. It was night, and the lanterns outside Baixi Tower were hung like stars in the sky. Not only the lanterns outside Baixi Tower were like stars, but also the other four high-rise buildings that were not yet fully completed and connected to Baixi Tower through flying bridges. Colorful lanterns look like palaces in the sky from a distance, especially the tallest Baiwei Tower built on the bank of the Bian River, like a starry pagoda, shining in the flames of the Bian River, dozens of alleys far away, also You can see its splendor like Qionglou Yuyu. There was a lot of voices outside Baixi Tower.This place is not far from the Zhouqiao Night Market in front of Yujie Street. There are always people coming and going. In addition, tonight is the performance of the four major performers on the same stage. When the winner is decided, more people will come to see it. lively.It's a pity that tonight's competition is different from the seven-day open competition. There are no tickets, and there are people who talk about it, and they can't even hear their voices. The unprecedented oiran contest has really caused a sensation in the entire city of Bianjing. Not only men, but also women must talk about the oiran battle. This matter has attracted everyone's attention.Many dignitaries and dignitaries sent their family members to buy tickets in advance, changed into casual clothes tonight, and quietly entered the venue with their friends or wives and wives to watch. In a corner of the big theater, an unremarkable person was sitting, probably He was a senior minister of the second and third ranks of the imperial court. As a result, even the Kaifeng Mansion became tense, and many police officers were ordered to maintain order. Before the show started in Baixi Building, the police officers outside had already caught seven habitual thieves, two gangs of fighters, and one because Can't find mom, snot-bubbling little kid. The theater is full of seats, but there are not many people. The four heads of the line perform on the same stage, which is not a flyover style. Anyone can come up to watch. The reason why the guests below are too slow is because the tables take up a lot of space. Space.At the front are the seats for the top ten judges, and behind them are the dignitaries who bought tickets to enter. The young servants quickly shuttled under the stage, delivering plates of exquisite dishes to their tables. Today is not only the day when the four heads of the four major industries perform their performances to win the top prize, but also a good opportunity for the owners of Baiweilou to compete for customers. They have invited the best chefs to make the most exquisite food, so that the guests will never forget the food here.The famous chef Bai Linbai, who is known as Mrs. Huarui of the Shu Kingdom, did not show up, and no one in the outside world knew of his existence. According to Yang Hao, the baggage needs to be shaken one by one. Since he is in the entertainment circle, You have to keep your attention all the time. The performance started, the curtain was slowly opened amidst the rumbling thunder, the rain and fog filled the air, there were vines and strange rocks on the stage, and the distant mountains and near shadows were intertwined, creating a primitive and wild natural scene. The guests were stunned for a moment, they had seen a lot of regular performances, when had they seen a drama that could be performed like this?This... This is the scorching summer, when the sky outside the building is full of stars, where is the thunder coming from?Where did such precarious rain and fog come from?Why are there vines, strange rocks and towering trees on the stage?The drizzle swayed with the wind, and the guests sitting in the first few rows even felt the damp wind on their faces. Yang Hao, who was sitting in a corner, watched with satisfaction the astonishment on the faces of the guests and even the judges. After more than two months of hard work, it finally came out today. I want you to see my skills. The sound of thunder, rain, wind, and even the chirping of birds and insects in the virgin forest under the invasion of wind and rain is not worth mentioning, but the best ventriloquist was hired to hold a paper tube loudspeaker behind the scenes simulated sound.The drizzle was produced at the height of the stage with the finest showers.As for the jagged rocks, they are placed with colored wooden blocks, and the flowers and trees, the nearby ones are silk flowers and silk grasses, and the trees and mountains in the distance are the background curtain, using lights to create a distinct layering three-dimensional sense. Wu Wa'er, the head of Bianliang's first line, was the first to appear on the stage, and her appearance once again subverted the perception of performance by the well-informed dignitaries present.When she came out of the "cave" covered by wisterias with ethereal and cheerful singing, she was wearing a white dress and combing two buns. With a smile, a line and a line, there are all kinds of styles.And...and her ears are pointy, and a big fluffy tail is exposed behind her skirt... "Can a play be performed like this?" All the guest officials petrified again. The drama designed by Yang Hao is a story based on several traditional dramas. Of course, he only proposes the idea of the story, provides various stunt ideas and techniques, specific performances, lyrics, and music. Created by Liu Duo'er in accordance with the appreciation habits and levels of people in this era. Immediately afterwards, Liu Duo'er dressed as a scholar appeared on the stage, and the charming Liu Daxingshou suddenly changed into men's clothes. Although he was charming, he had a somewhat more neutral temperament, which made the guests stunned again.The guests found that it was quite different from what they had expected. When Liu Xingshou and Wu Xingshou were not fighting each other, but cooperating with each other to perform a play, they were even more amazed at their way of fighting. The story begins to unfold, and each scene changes a scene, and each scene will give people some new surprises. A little fox was hunted down by a hunter, but fortunately was rescued by a kind boy.Thousands of years later, the former little white fox cultivated into a human form and transformed into a cute, carefree little fox girl Ying Ning.She met a poor scholar who went to Beijing to rush for the exam and went to the forest to escape the rain, and she recognized that he was the reincarnation of the young man thousands of years ago. In order to repay him, she followed him out of the forest without complaint.One person and one monster fell in love with each other. Reading at night with candles, red sleeves add fragrance, and the fragrance is beautiful, which is in line with the pursuit of fragrance and beauty of these scholars in the audience. The little fox girl accompanied the poor scholar to Beijing to rush for the exam. The demon king who coveted the beauty of the little fox girl sent the snake girl to take her back as captive. Fortunately, she was rescued by a young ascetic monk.After the poor scholar was named on the gold list, the grand master wanted to recruit the champion of the current subject as his son-in-law, so he used both soft and hard tactics, and secretly tricked him, making the little fox girl mistakenly think that the scholar had changed his mind and left sadly.The poor scholar became sick from missing, hanged his seal and left. When he was about to die forever in a dilapidated ancient temple, the little fox girl who learned the truth rushed to his side again and saved his life with the inner alchemy she had cultivated for thousands of years. And the little fox girl who lost her mana is about to return to her original form, so she can only return to the mountains with tears in her eyes. The two once again made a thousand-year agreement... Xueyu's twins turned into golden snakes and silver snakes, wearing a shiny snake-print tights made of gold and silver foils, vividly interpreting the graceful and charming body language.The eyes of all the male guests are attracted, unfortunately, their dance moves are changing so fast, you will never be able to look at the part you admire the most for two seconds, and when they appear, it is either lightning or wind and rain , the lights are flickering... how can you see clearly! "By the way, this is what I want!" Seeing their obsessively following eyes, Yang Hao snickered secretly. Immediately afterwards, the famous sentences passed down from generation to generation that let the literati appreciate each other appeared one by one. If the relationship between the two lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night... Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless in the world... The furthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, but when I stand in front of you, you don't know that I love you... If life is only as it was first seen, why is the autumn wind sadly drawing a fan; There was once a sincere love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it... Some officials and gentry were so carried away by what they heard, they even grabbed Xiao Er and asked for a pen and paper, and excitedly wrote down these wonderful words. Yang Hao can't remember the whole of these amazing and wonderful sentences, but he knows the most exciting part. If he is showing off poetry in ordinary times, he can't read these sentences without beginning and end. Come out, but now they are integrated into the drama, as the lines of the hero and heroine, but they have become priceless treasures like night pearls, and the guests are mesmerized... Love is the eternal theme; the story of the scholar and the fox spirit is even more tear-jerking. The little fox girl rescued the scholar with inner alchemy and was about to return to her original shape. Crying like a tearful person, Wu Wa'er's sad and mournful voice resounded throughout the audience. This song does not lose the classical beauty, but it is the original "White Fox" that directly touches people's hearts, sending that novelty and moving feeling to everyone. personal heart. "I am a fox who has loved for thousands of years, A thousand years of love, a thousand years of loneliness, In the long night, do you know who to make up my red makeup for? In the world of mortals, do you know who combs my hair for..." This is the second time they have felt this feeling.Liu Duo'er sang "When will the moon be there" at Longting Lake, that novel but extremely provocative song, has already been sung in the streets and alleys, and it is unexpected that Wu Wa'er can also sing such a novel and beautiful song Song, contest, in the invisible. The guests couldn't care less about chattering, and the novelty hadn't disappeared yet. The water fox girl who rescued the scholar had already floated up in the sad singing, slowly drifting towards the night sky, towards the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Like Chang'e flying to the moon. "I am a fox that has been guarding for thousands of years, Watching for thousands of years and being helpless for thousands of years, See me dancing for you with beauty from the depths of love, Listen to me sing for you when love hurts, Han Chuang study hard, you and I have sworn each other deeply, The Jinbang Anniversary is a long way to go..." Hanging wire, this is a film stunt invented by filmmakers, and it is absolutely unimaginable in this era.This scene is an ancient temple on a moonlit night, the light is dim, only a round of bright moon above the curtain emits a bright and clear light.Wu Wa'er's petite body is lifted up by three strands of fine silk of the same color as the curtain, her belt is fluttering, she is flying against the wind, who can see the mystery?Tonight's performance was wonderful, and the unexpected waves finally set off a huge wave at the moment when Wu Wa'er swayed Wia into the air, and the audience went crazy like a tsunami. "Can I cry for love, I am still the white fox who loved you thousands of years ago, How many springs come and go, day and night, Life after life is your fox..." The lights gradually dimmed, the curtain slowly fell, and the last song, like a vow, was still lingering. Wonderful!Wonderful!Don't say one hundred hits, even three hundred hits, five hundred hits, such a wonderful performance is worth it.The unsatisfied guests applauded enthusiastically.Only now did the judges come to their senses, realizing that they were not ordinary spectators, and they still had important things to do to select the oiran. At this time, they suddenly realized that it was a big mistake to take advantage of the judges' privileges to bring their wives and daughters here tonight. The two most important women in their family have been completely fascinated by Liu Duo'er's very neutral and beautiful appearance of a scholar and wonderful performances. For example, in "A Chinese Ghost Story", Liu Duo'er, who is dressed as Ning Caichen, is very talented in acting. She portrays the desolation and innocence when she first met the little fox girl, the handsomeness and complacency of the leader of high school wearing the red champion robe, and the unsatisfactory loss. The longing and sadness of the fox queen, and her unwavering love for power and wealth, are vividly performed. Those tearful people were holding small handkerchiefs and looking at them eagerly. Some begged in a low voice, and some directly threatened them. Although they were fascinated by the little fox girl played by Wu Wa'er, if Sheliu Duo is only Wu Wa, so if I go back tonight, my family will be in trouble.Besides, there is no doubt about Liu Duo'er's appearance, and her exquisite performance is indeed not inferior to Wu Wa'er. When she was the champion in high school, "I have also been to Qionglin Banquet, and I have also played in front of Ma Yujie..." His beautiful singing voice is still echoing in their ears. In the midst of a dilemma, the two chess pieces embedded in the judges began to play a role. They sang together and smiled and threw out the perfect proposal of the double oirans... Perfect! When the guests poured out of the "Baixi Tower", the sky was full of stars, the summer heat was gone, and a gentle breeze was blowing in. When many people who were waiting outside to listen to the letter asked about the candidates for this year's oiran, they were still dazed. I was intoxicated in the wonderful plot, and the splendor of tonight is destined to set off another heat wave in Tokyo tomorrow, adding another three points to the heat of Bianliang City, which has entered the scorching summer. On the corridor outside the second floor of Baixi Building, Yang Hao, Cui Dalang and the four chiefs who came excitedly looked at the crowds outside the building. Cui Dalang smiled and said: "A big success, a big success, I see, let's do it again!" Ten games can still be full." Shen Rao said tenderly: "My lord, did you say that next time, let the slave family and Sister Xijun do...do..." Wen Xijun couldn't wait to follow: "Be the protagonist!" "exactly!" Xueyu Shuangjiao knew that they were inferior to Wu Wa'er and Liu Duo'er, and the oiran battle could only happen between the two of them, so they didn't expect to be the leader at all.But during the rehearsal, when they saw such a performance for the first time, they were overwhelmed.From their eyes, it can be seen that if Yang Hao intends to cultivate them, today's oiranship is just a temporary dispute, and once this new performance mode is created, their fame and career will be even higher. In the long run, I willingly became a green leaf. Yang Hao smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have a story tailored for you, when the time comes..." As soon as he said this, he suddenly noticed three lights flickering in the night sky in the distance, his expression changed suddenly, and he looked carefully, and the three lights in the night sky could be clearly seen, they circled and shook three times , and then turned off again, and after a while, the light came on again. Yang Hao changed his face, this is the light signal of the watchtowers. The watchtowers he built in various places in the city are responsible for monitoring the fire situation in the city at night. They use flags as signs during the day and lights as signs at night. When a fire breaks out somewhere, immediately send a signal to other places.With the palace as the center, the number of flags or lights represents the distance from the fire location to the palace.The three lights represent the most central location in Kaifeng City, which is already close to Da Nei. Yang Hao immediately rushed to the other side of Baixi Tower, Xueyu Shuangjiao heard Yang Hao's promise, and was overjoyed when he suddenly saw him change color and run away, not knowing why, everyone followed him and arrived at Baixi Tower On the north side, I saw a place in the night where the flames were soaring into the sky, burning blazingly. Wu Wa'er blurted out: "The Yushi Terrace and Shangshu Terrace on Xijiaolou Street are flooded. Oh, it's not good. With today's wind direction, if the fire is bigger, it will burn into the Shangshu Province and the Privy Council, and even the Imperial Palace. It's also inevitable." Yang Hao turned around and left, hurried downstairs, asked for a horse, and ran towards the west corner building.Zhouqiao night market was full of people, singing songs all night long. Tonight because of the "Thousands of Gold and a Smiling House" oiran competition, the flow of people was a bit more crowded than usual. Yang Hao couldn't even run on a horse, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. After he got on the spacious Royal Street, he picked up his speed. Yang Hao turned left and rushed to Xijiaolou Street, only to see the firemen wearing patrol clothes with the word "fire" pushing the water truck along the way. Carrying the hook saw and scratching the hook, he rushed there. When Yang Hao arrived there, all the fire arresters in the nearby alleys were already in place. Because Kaifeng Mansion was close to Yushi Terrace and Shangshu Terrace, a large number of people had rushed to it. A building in Yushi Terrace was too big to be extinguished. It has been hooked down by fire catchers with hooks, ropes, etc., and the fire has been completely controlled.Surrounded by vigilant yamen servants, the courtyard was piled up with rescued documents and files, and several disheveled officials stood in the courtyard in a daze. Yang Hao put his heart into his stomach immediately, just now he saw the fire in Baixi Building, the fire was not small, the fire was extinguished so timely, it is obvious that the arrangements he made played a big role.He jumped off his horse, and before he stepped forward to ask a few words, he felt the ground tremble slightly, and rumbled footsteps sounded. After hearing the news, the guards from the brigade rushed over. Taiwan, together to inspect the fire, indicating that the fire has been extinguished. The two were talking, when the gong bang sounded, and Zhao Guangyi arrived in a hurry. He was obviously relieved when he saw the fire, but then he straightened his face and sternly shouted: "The imperial court has repeatedly stated that it is necessary to use fire at night." Strict vigilance, since there are people in this building, why sit back and watch the fire start? All the officials in this building were taken away when the fire broke out, and the government will thoroughly investigate the cause of the fire. Check the fire immediately if the criminal officer has arrived !" After he finished speaking, he turned to the general of the imperial army, changed his smile, and was about to praise the imperial army for the timely rescue, when another voice of a man and a woman shouted outside: "By the holy order, inspect the fire situation in the west corner building. The fire Has it ever been extinguished, has the various divisions arrived, whoever is in charge of fighting the fire, please report to our family immediately!"
