Chapter 21 The Oiran
Zhao Rong glared at his aunt Zhao Xichun and thought to himself, this person really doesn't mention any pot. If Zhao Xichun hadn't spoken too much, he wouldn't have been sarcastic by Qin Keqing's enthusiasm!
Zhao Xichun didn't care about this. She stuck out her tongue at Zhao Rong, and then assigned Zhao Hu to buy a recommendation vote for Bai Yunzhu with a silver note, regardless of her big nephew who had been cheated by her at all!
Besides, Zhao Rong did not dare to accept Qin Keqing's words at all. As for spending money to buy ticket recommendations, he didn't dare to think about it, let alone taking his wife's money to choose a courtesan!
"Ahem, madam, that's all the time ignorant. I hope madam won't be surprised!" In the end, Zhao Rong could only apologize to Qin Keqing.
"My husband is joking!" Qin Keqing was also angry, but when she saw Zhao Rong's appearance of correcting her mistake, she no longer pursued her.
However, the conversation between the two made Zhao Xichun, Matcha and others laugh secretly. Zhao Xichun even smiled and muttered, "Since someone can surrender Brother Rong!"
Zhao Rong was full of grievances. Looking at Zhao Xichun who was gloating, Zhao Rong really regretted pulling this little aunt out of the suffering of Duke Rong's mansion!
Let’s not mention Zhao Rong’s grievances for the first time, but only the voting elections for this year’s Courtesan Competition have gradually entered a climax!
Although the price of a 100 taels of silver for a recommendation is indeed a bit expensive, there is no shortage of rich young men in Jinling City!
These noble men, looking at the graceful beauties on the stage, wished they could all be taken into their arms!
However, this idea is obviously unrealistic. If you want to settle for the second best, the nobles could only wave silver notes with their hands and spend a lot of money, preparing to hold the girl they like to the throne of the courtesan!
Zhao Rong watched the nobles who were waving the silver notes on the stage and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Zhao Rong felt that it was not worth it for these noble men. If he kept these large amounts of silver notes and could not find any kind of girl in the 16th floor of Jinling, he insisted on sending the silver notes to the brothel like this. If these noble men knew that doing so would only increase the cost of finding girls in the future, I am afraid that they would not spend so much now!
Although Zhao Rong saw through the purpose of the organizers of the 16th floor of Jinling and the Orchestra Competition, he would not say it out, because he knew that as long as he exposes the methods of the bosses on the 16th floor of Jinling to gain money, he is afraid that he will never step into the 16th floor of Jinling again!
Zhao Rong also thought that one day he would go to the brothel to learn about the style inside, so even if he was beaten to death, he would not tell the twists and turns in the courtesan competition!
Amid Zhao Rong's sneer, the voting election for the Courtesan Competition was also at the end. When no one came to the stage to vote again, Mrs. Hengbo came to the stage again. After a few words of thanks, she directed several maids to count the votes of the sixteen beauties!
At this moment, Zhao Rong found that Qin Keqing next to him became nervous. Looking at Qin Keqing staring at Bai Yunzhu and Yu Hongxiu's ballot box, Zhao Rong smiled secretly, "Madam, are you just trying to beat me like this?"
Qin Keqing suddenly woke up, and then she realized that she was really the same as Zhao Rong, caring so much about the results of the Courtesan Competition. Of course, the result is not important. What is important is that she wants to win the bet with Zhao Rong!
"What's wrong with me? Why have I become so competitive?"
Qin Keqing knew very well that she was not the competitive personality, but at this moment, she really wanted to beat Zhao Rong. Even though she hadn't thought about asking Zhao Rong what questions she had, she still wanted to win this bet!
Qin Keqing buried her head, sorted out her mind, then pretended to look at Zhao Rong calmly and said, "Don't my husband want to win Keer?"
Zhao Rong smiled and said without comment, "What's the harm in winning, what's the harm in losing? It's just a small bet. Why should I care about it? Could it be that I'm afraid that I will ask you something difficult?"
Zhao Rong stared at Qin Keqing's eyes. Sure enough, after hearing this, a trace of mess appeared in Qin Keqing's eyes, just like a frightened little white rabbit, and immediately turned around!
Seeing this, Zhao Rong smiled again. No matter whether he could win or not, he had already confirmed some of his previous conjectures, that is, there were definitely some stories hidden in Qin Keqing!
"Hongfanlou, Miss Yu Hongxiu, won 1,200 votes... Baihualou, Miss Baiyunzhu, and Miss Baiyunzhu, won 1,198 votes... So, the final winner of this year's Courtesan Competition is Miss Yu Hongxiu, Miss Hongmeilou..."
At this moment, the votes of the sixteen beauties on the stage were finally counted out. When Mrs. Hengbo finally announced that Yu Hongxiu won the first place in this year's Courtesan Competition with 1,200 votes, the audience immediately remembered countless applause and cheers.
Of course, there are also some noble men who chose other girls. Although they did not regard the person they chose as courtesans, they also laughed because no matter what, through this courtesan competition, they have used their actual actions to let the girls know their thoughts. What is left is the things that are both your love and my love!
"Yu Hongxiu?"
When Qin Keqing heard that it was Yu Hongxiu who won, she immediately showed a sense of frustration in her expression. She looked at Zhao Rong with complicated thoughts, then took a deep breath, then walked to Zhao Rong and said, "What do you want to ask, ask, don't worry, I won't lie to you!"
Zhao Rong looked at the dodging in Qin Keqing's eyes and knew that she was afraid that she would be exposed and covered her body. Obviously, the story on Qin Keqing might be a past that she didn't want to recall. Thinking of these, Zhao Rong originally wanted to blurt out the problem, and then put it away again!
Zhao Rong sighed secretly, then pretended to be careless and smiled, "My wife is joking. Actually, I am also confused. There is nothing to win or not, and there is no problem. If you want to say anything, you just want to ask your wife when she is willing to settle the family with me, hehe..."
"Pooh!"
Qin Keqing's face was flushed with shame. She glared at Zhao Rong. Just as she was about to say a few words to him, she suddenly understood that Zhao Rong's words might be an excuse, because she could feel that in the moment just now, what Zhao Rong wanted to ask was definitely not this question!
"Are he afraid that I will make things difficult for him?"
