Chapter 104: The Power of the People Who Eat Melon (Part 2)
Just as the five judges, eighteen beautiful ladies, thirteen and fourteen, the two hosts were staring in confusion, and bamboo baskets with the words Zhiruo were moved to the stage one by one. Fourteen bamboo baskets filled with flowers were added as many as fourteen. Each bamboo basket was filled with red flowers, and of course there were also some silver flowers and a small amount of golden flowers.
Under the stage, Erniu, Luo Tong, Li Bi and other second generations sitting in the last row, looked at the nearly twenty bamboo baskets, and smiled at Qin Huaiyuyin with a vulgar face.
At this time, seeing half of the incense burner go out, Thirteen shouted: "The voting time is over. In order to facilitate our counting, we will now start counting from the courtesan with the least votes. All inventory work will be carried out on the stage to ensure fairness, justice and openness."
"Next, let's count the first one, the Yunxi girl from Chunliu Tower. Let's applause and invite the five judges to come on stage to monitor the inventory process."
Just a few breaths.
One of the judges held the microphone and said, "Chunliulou Yunxi, I got 136 votes."
The little beauty in Chunliu Tower turned red when she heard this and started crying, which made Yu Lingyan hurried over to comfort her. The scene suddenly became a little awkward.
But the counting continues, but the first seven or eight are basically sparse in number. Five people count together, and the counting process is very fast.
“One Hundred and Sixty-Eight votes…”
“Two hundred and twelve votes…”
“…”
“Three hundred and five votes…”
“…”
There were fourteen consecutive numbers, with a maximum of no more than five hundred votes. Some courtesans on the stage who could not stand the blow were sobbing silently. Many beautiful ladies with heavy makeup instantly cried into a female yaksha.
The audience who voted were so scared that they regretted it and said that the contrast between before and after makeup was too big, and they would never visit them again.
At this time, Yu Lingyan held the microphone and shouted in a sweet voice: "Miss Xiyu from Shuiyun Pavilion, I got 877 votes."
Xiyu, under Yang Yue, was quite calm. After all, she knew she could not enter the top three, but her good cultivation still made her smile at some customers who supported her, which made everyone praise.
At this time, Li Yuanji raised his microphone, looked at the familiar name on the paper, and shouted excitedly: "The third place in this competition is the third place in the Red Maple Pavilion, and he won 2,454 votes."
Wow~
"Oh my God, more than 2,400 votes? The first fifteen are not as much as hers!"
"I think it deserves its reputation. The song "Half-pot Yarn" is so nice, and this fairy Li Luo is wearing white clothes. She is simply the fairy of the Moon Palace in my mind."
"Tsk, that's the third place. The first place must be Fairy Miaomiao. Didn't you see that her basket is full of golden flowers?"
"That's not necessarily. Miss Zhiruo, who just now, just now, has the strength to come from behind."
"Oh, after all, it's too late, it's all red flowers, only one flower can vote."
Just as the audience was talking about it, Li Yuanji smiled and took the hand card handed over by Thiran, took a look, his expression slightly condensed, and he looked at Thiran in confusion.
Thirteen was also amused by this result, but when we were counting it, everyone was watching it, and it was impossible to count it wrong.
Li Yuanji nodded and expressed his understanding and said solemnly: "The next one is the second and first place in this competition. I believe everyone must be very curious at this time. Who will win the final championship?
Next, in order to show justice, I will let people put their bamboo baskets on the left and right sides of the stage, because I am also puzzled by the result in my hands. In order to satisfy everyone, I will decide to re-count it.”
The audience and the people on the street were confused when they heard this. Is there any accident? Why do you have to count it again? But with the mentality of watching the excitement, everyone sat upright waiting for the final result.
Seeing this, Li Yuanji felt a little relieved. He came on stage for the first time and said that it was fake not to be nervous. He raised the microphone and continued, "Next, let's count the number of votes received by Fairy Miaomiao of Mingyan Pavilion."
After a cup of tea, amid everyone's surprise calls, Li Yuanji announced the result: "Mingyan Pavilion Lin Miaomiao, 2,377 golden flowers, 3,034 silver flowers, 833 red flowers, and 39,773 total votes."
"What? I heard it right? More than 30,000 tickets? How much does that cost?"
"Oh my God, if you have one hundred ci, 39,773 votes are 39,773 votes, which is equivalent to 39,777,300 ci, and 39,777 ci, and 300 ci!" Some students of the Imperial College immediately calculated.
"What, more than 3,900 guan? It's nearly 4,000 guan, enough to buy a big house in the south of the city."
"Yes, but what surprised me the most was the number of votes. I heard that there were 3,000 golden flowers in total, and Fairy Miaomiao occupied 2,377 of them by himself. It was really amazing."
"Yes, she also occupies 3,034 of 5,000 silver flowers. She must be the first tonight."
On the stage, Lin Miaomiao and the remaining seventeen courtesans were shocked when they heard this number. It was so scary. Four thousand guan. If they hadn't met a nouveau riche who was stupid and had a lot of money, how many songs would they have to sing to get so much reward?
Especially a few not very famous courtesans were racking their brains to calculate how many men they had to accompany to earn money?
Li Yuanji observed everyone's reactions with satisfaction, took another hand card from Fourteen, looked at the number exactly the same as before, and smiled helplessly.
"Next, the last courtesan of this competition, the girl Zhiruo from Wangchun Tower. Before the king announced the result, I hope you can be mentally prepared because the result in this king's opponent was also very shocked."
Lin Miaomiao, who was originally happy, looked at the hand card in Li Yuanji's hand with confusion when he heard this. When he saw a string of long numbers on it, his heart skipped a beat and looked at Zhiruo incredibly.
At this time, under the thirteenth sign, the spotlights on the roof were shining towards the right side of the stage.
Wow~
There was another burst of exclamation from the bottom of his heart. The audience and the beauties on the stage were stunned. Even the person involved, Zhiruo, looked at the bamboo baskets piled up in front of him in disbelief.
Li Yuanji smiled bitterly and shouted, "Zhiruo, the flower courtesan of Wangchunlou, fifty-three golden flowers, one thousand two hundred and thirty-four silver flowers, and red flowers..."
Having called this, Li Yuanji looked at the pile of bamboo baskets again with a confused look on his face. Under the eager gaze of everyone, he then shouted: "Red flowers: 33,073, total votes..."
Hearing the terrifying number of more than 33,000 red flowers, there was another uproar at the scene. The student of the Imperial College, who was very good at a calculation, had a mental arithmetic and shouted: "Thirty-nine,773? It's also 39,773 votes!"
Everyone was confused when they heard this and hurriedly looked at Li Yuanji on the stage, all of whom were eager to get the final result.
When Li Yuanji heard someone give the final answer, he reluctantly raised the liquidation result in his hand and shouted to the audience: "That's right, the final number of votes between the two girls was 39,773. There were two leaders in this competition, haha!"
At this time, Thirteen, who was standing aside, stood up and said, "According to statistics, in addition to the 225 people present participating in this voting, our audience outside the venue, that is, everyone on the street, had a total of 3,842 people participating in the voting session of this courtesan competition."
More than 200 people in the yard were shocked when they heard this number. At this time, thousands of people on the street were so excited that they howled: "Oh oh oh..."
After the earth was shaking, there were countless children in Chang'an City who were scared to cry by these melon-eating people.
Several ministers in the court and several distinguished guests on the third floor all felt a timeless old saying at this time.
