596 is the finale
"Dear masters, after another stick of incense, the primary election of the courtesan begins. Please prepare to go on stage!"
A maid went into the backstage and shouted, and then the girls' thoughts returned to the competition.?? ??w?w?w? ?r?an?
Rong Chen personally sent someone to the backstage, and Chen Shuyin did not dare to neglect him. The two maids were arranged to dress up Jiang Lingyue.
Jiang Lingyue was not in a hurry to do these things, but asked: "Two little beauties, come and talk to me, what programs do you perform in the preliminary elections in previous years?"
"Although the primary election of the Courtesan gives every contestant the opportunity to perform freely, in order to fully demonstrate themselves, each contestant often performs several talents. Usually, one performs all three types of musical instruments, songs, and dances. Some are powerful and can recite poems and paint."
Although the maid answered Jiang Lingyue's question, she glanced at somewhere else, looking like she ignored her.
Jiang Lingyue: "Why do you look down on me?"
The maid sighed and said, "Girl, let me tell you honestly. The girls who can participate in the primary election have been preparing for this competition for ten or eight years. There is nothing they can't do with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The girl thinks, can you compare to them?"
Jiang Lingyue: "How do you know I can't compare?"
Maid: "You are the last one to appear. Before you, the ten girls have performed the music that should be used and the dance that should be danced, and everyone has completed it perfectly. In this case, even if the girls perform comparable to the ten girls before, it will be difficult to win the likes of the judges."
Jiang Lingyue: "But as long as I perform better than the top ten girls, I will become the finale!"
When the two maids heard this, they scoffed and smiled at each other.
"Okay, girl, don't talk about these useless things, the competition will begin soon, let's put on makeup first!"
However, Jiang Lingyue did not rush to put on makeup, but went to the warehouse in the backstage, where there were a large number of clothing and musical instruments.
Jiang Lingyue: "Can I use all these clothes and musical instruments?"
The maid said coldly: "It can be used, but the girl also saw that the things in the warehouse are incomparable to the ones used by other girls. The clothes on those girls were sewn by the best embroiderers for several years. The musical instruments they used in their hands are all made by famous masters. Even if the girls look through the warehouse tomorrow, they will not find anything better than them."
After the maid finished speaking, she saw Jiang Lingyue reaching out to touch a guqin beside her, and then splashed cold water and said: "Today, Miss Shang wants to play the guqin. Her guqin is known as the best in this year's Courtesan Competition. Girls should save worry!"
After hearing this, Jiang Lingyue wanted to touch the guzheng again, and the maid also poured a basin of cold water on it.
The Southern Chu and Western Qi that Northern Qin and Jiang Lingyue knew were different.
It is the largest country of this era, with strong economic and military strength, and a very stable regime, and no major battles have occurred in hundreds of years.
In such a powerful and rich country, the people have enough food and clothing, so they naturally focus more on entertainment.
Just look at the prosperity of Xishui Street in Chaoge City and the grand occasion of the Courtesan Competition, you can get a glimpse of it.
Against this background, the aesthetic and style of the Northern Qin people is also quite high. The lowest-level girls in Fengmingyuan can dress up a dirt-like girl with ease. Although Jiang Lingyue has not seen their true abilities, she can already see their excellence from her appearance, demeanor, their makeup and dress.
