760 Lin Yuelan, So Hard to Find
“Yeah, I think Li Shishi from hundred building will win first place!”
“I think Song Qingyan from the drunken flower house will win!”
“No, no, no, I think Chen Yuanyuan from the fragrant garden can get it!”
“But I think Su Xiaowan from Jinfeng tower is the most likely to win!”
“Great, it seems that everyone has a fair chance!”
Lin yuelan immediately pulled a passerby over and asked with great interest, ” uncle, I heard that they are selecting the best courtesan. Why is that?”
When the uncle saw such a beautiful and lovely girl like Lin yuelan, he immediately explained with a good temper, “This is the tradition of Qingfeng city. It’s the competition between the top courtesans of the major brothels for the top courtesan.
“Whoever won the competition for the top courtesan’s title would be worth a hundred times more. They would take the float and walk around the city. I’ve heard that if you’re lucky, you might even be chosen by a high official or noble, and redeem yourself to be a concubine, enjoying glory, splendor, and wealth.”
“Then, uncle, where is this happening?” Lin yuelan asked.
The middle-aged man pointed in a direction and said, “It’s at Qingzhou Lake!”
“Then, uncle, how is the selection done?” Lin yuelan asked with a smile.
The middle-aged man was almost mesmerized by lin yuelan’s smile. He blushed slightly and said uncomfortably, “In this courtesan competition, besides competing on looks, it’s more about talent, singing, dancing, zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting! I’m not going to talk to you anymore. If I’m late, I won’t even be able to find a spot to witness this!” He ran off after he finished speaking.
Lin yuelan immediately said to Jiang Zhennan with great interest, ” masked uncle, let’s go and watch the courtesan competition together!”
Without waiting for Jiang Zhennan’s reply, she walked in the direction of the crowd.
Jiang Zhennan smiled and shook his head from behind. He had noticed that although Lin yuelan was usually very calm and mature, she was sometimes very curious.
Jiang Zhennan quickly followed Lin yuelan’s footsteps.
When Yuwen Feiye brought a group of subordinates to Lin’s medicine Hall, they only found out that Lin yuelan had not even come to the medicine Hall.
“Do you know where your boss went?” Guard Qi was asking about Lin Qingzhu.
Lin Qingzhu said unhappily, ” boss won’t report to us subordinates where she went. How would we know where she went? ”
Although Lin Qingzhu did not know Yuwen feiye, he saw that the master behind him had a noble air about him, but he was also arrogant. He did not think that they were good people. Moreover, they had asked about the master’s whereabouts the moment they arrived. They must have bad intentions. He would not tell them where the master was.
Seeing Lin Qingzhu’s attitude, guard Qi became angry. He grabbed Lin Qingzhu and wanted to warn him that the person in front of him was the third Prince. At this time, Lin Xujie walked over and said respectfully to Yuwen Feiye, “Third Prince, please calm down. Steward Lin really doesn’t know the whereabouts of the master!”
Yuwen Feiye and guard Qi both knew the guard beside Lin yuelan.
Yuwen Feiye asked coldly, “Do you know where Lin yuelan is now? ”
Lin Xujie also said very politely, “I’m sorry, third prince. as servants, we really don’t know the whereabouts of our master. ”
Yuwen Feiye’s sharp eyes shot towards Lin Xujie and he said coldly, “Then where is your master? ”
Lin Xujie replied, ” we really don’t know where master went. However, my master loves a lively atmosphere. She would be there wherever there was a commotion. if the third prince really has an urgent matter to look for master, you can go to the most lively place. if the third prince is not in a hurry, you can also come to look for master next time and I will tell master!”
Yuwen Feiye glared at Lin Xujie coldly and left with his men without saying anything.
After walking a few steps, guard qi, who was a tactful man, stopped some people and asked about the most lively place that day in Qingfeng city.
“Your Highness, there’s a beauty contest that’s held once every three years at Qingzhou Lake!”
“Let’s go!” Yuwen Feiye immediately led his men in the direction of qingzhou lake.
It was obvious that he wanted to watch the courtesan competition.
Lin yuelan was small, and in the crowded place, she agilely dodged to the front, making it a little difficult for Jiang Zhennan to follow behind. Although he had martial arts and internal energy, he couldn’t display it here.
Fortunately, these things still had some advantages. He could nimbly avoid the large crowd and keep up with Lin yuelan.
There were five big boats on Qingzhou Lake. There was one for each of the four major brothels and one for the judges. Each boat was beautifully decorated with flowers and banners.
