Chapter 89 The Courtesan Contest (Part 5)
Today is the sixth day of the Flower Queen Contest and the first day of the finals. The competition among the contestants has entered a fierce stage.
Sheng Lan hadn't been in a good mood these past few days; the adults hadn't returned to Zuihualou to sleep for three nights in a row. She looked up at the stage; it was time to introduce the contestants.
Sheng Lan walked onto the stage and said, "Next, please welcome Liu Rushi, who ranked first in the preliminary round."
"Clap clap clap..." The audience below the stage burst into enthusiastic applause.
Wang Wenzhou presented Liu Rushi with a large bouquet of roses on stage.
"Sigh..." Sheng Lan sighed mournfully, "The master has changed his mind."
Sheng Lan had no words to express her bitterness. Although the master had said he would marry her, he had never taken any action. Now, the master had replaced the old with a new one and had found another girl he liked.
"What? Why are you stopping us? We want to present flowers too!" Xu Rongjie and the others wanted to go on stage to present flowers, but were stopped by several yamen runners who were cursing and swearing.
Wang Wenzhou waved to the yamen runners and said, "Have them come up on stage to present the flowers!"
Wang Wenzhou cupped his hands in greeting to the audience and announced loudly, "Now that we've reached the finals, let's change the flower-presenting rules. Anyone who wants to present flowers to a girl they like can come up on stage at any time!"
"Hmph!" Xu Rongjie pushed aside the constables blocking his way, held the flowers, and ran onto the stage with a smile.
"Idiot!" Wang Wenzhou glanced at Xu Rongjie and muttered under his breath.
The Flower Queen Contest was organized by Wang Wenzhou. No matter how many flowers Wang Wenzhou presented, the money simply flowed from his left hand to his right, without him spending a single penny. Xu Rongjie and his group, on the other hand, bought flowers with real money. A bouquet of roses cost five hundred taels of silver; with money to be made, how could Wang Wenzhou not be happy?
"Thank you!" Liu Rushi nodded repeatedly to the person who presented the flowers on stage to express her gratitude.
After a short while, the person who presented the flowers stepped down from the stage.
Sheng Lan continued, "Next, please welcome Ms. Li Yajing, who ranked second in the preliminary round!"
Of the ten girls who made it to the finals, Liu Rushi ranked first, Li Yajing ranked second, and Zhao Fengmin, who became famous for her nude scenes, ranked third.
These three young women all have powerful backers. Liu Rushi needs no introduction; she has the most supporters. Li Yajing has Wang Wenzhou's backing, while Zhao Fengmin is backed by the Four Great Talents.
The other seven girls were basically just there for show; the top spot was long gone for them. But they didn't let their guard down. After all, with so many girls, a good final ranking would significantly increase their future value.
The girls lined up in a row, and Liu Rushi stood out from the crowd, dressed in men's clothing, looking like a scholar.
Sheng Lan pointed to the backstage area and said, "Ladies, please go backstage to change your clothes. Next up is the bikini show."
The girls swayed their hips as they entered the backstage area, but Liu Rushi stood with her hands behind her back, unmoved.
Sheng Lan frowned, stepped forward, and said, "Miss Liu, please go backstage to change your clothes!"
"I'll wear this outfit!" Liu Rushi said calmly.
"Hmph! This is against the competition rules!" Sheng Lan said angrily.
Seeing that Liu Rushi was ignoring him, Sheng Lan angrily went to the judges' table and spoke with them, demanding that they disqualify Liu Rushi from the competition.
The judges dared not make a decision! Geng San jogged to Wang Wenzhou's side and asked, "Sir, Miss Liu is not changing her clothes. Miss Sheng is asking if you should disqualify Miss Liu from the competition?"
"No! Let her wear whatever she wants!" Wang Wenzhou shook his head. He really liked Liu Rushi, a girl with such a strong personality. Besides, even a casual thought about Liu Rushi could make him hard, and he even wanted to have sex with her, so why would he deliberately offend her?
Geng San ran back and said to Sheng Lan, "Madam, the master said that Miss Liu can wear whatever she wants, as she pleases."
"Hmph!" Sheng Lan gave Wang Wenzhou a resentful look, pouted, and walked back to the stage.
Seeing the girls change their clothes and prepare to go on stage, Sheng Lan glanced at the notebook in her hand and said in a very fast voice: "Fine steamed buns at the best price, and beauties as beautiful as angels competing for the title of 'Queen of Flowers.' Welcome to the 'Queen of Flowers Contest' sponsored by HSBC Steamed Bun Shop, the leading brand of steamed buns."
Next up is the bikini showcase. All clothing in this segment is sponsored by "Ting Er Mei" Apparel. Ting Er Mei: Making women feel great!
Tingermei Apparel specializes in various women's clothing, including bikinis, nurse uniforms, policewoman uniforms, maid outfits, and flight attendant uniforms.
Are you still worried about your wife's fading beauty? Are you still distressed about your own declining looks? Tingermei helps you regain your confidence, youth, and passion.
Tingermei Apparel will have its grand opening tomorrow at noon. All are welcome to visit us.
Tingermei Clothing was, of course, created by Wang Wenzhou. Wang Wenzhou believed that, whether in ancient or modern times, the allure of uniforms is a man's favorite.
The owner of Ting Er Mei Clothing Store was none other than Sheng Lan's older brother, Sheng Lei. Sheng Lan was deeply grateful; she had seen the clothes at Ting Er Mei and they were truly beautiful. Sheng Lan decided that when her father visited her again, she would dress up in a variety of outfits for him. She absolutely couldn't let Liu Rushi steal her father's heart.
Sheng Lan waved his hand and said, "Please welcome the ladies to the stage."
The courtesans, dressed in bikinis, slowly made their entrance.
"Wow..." The audience gasped in amazement. They were so beautiful! Even though the girls were clothed, they looked even more stunning than if they weren't, each one exuding charm. The tiny pieces of cloth covering their bodies seemed to possess such magic. It was truly breathtaking.
Liu Rushi turned around and looked at the girls in bikinis, snorted coldly, and glared at Wang Wenzhou. She really couldn't understand why Wang Wenzhou, who treated women as playthings, could become the upright and just official in the hearts of the people of Hanshan.
That day, while shopping, Liu Rushi had a deep impression of Wang Wenzhou. The people of Hanshan all gave him a thumbs up, praising him for his dedication to serving the people. Many elderly people even earnestly advised her to marry Wang Wenzhou.
Liu Rushi wanted to understand why Wang Wenzhou, who was always spouting vulgarities, was so beloved by the people. It was precisely because of this that she did not leave Hanshan and continued to participate in the courtesan competition.
"Go, Ms. Liu!"
"Ya Jing, Ya Jing, we love you!"
"Minmin, Minmin, you're the best! Minmin, Minmin, you're the most beautiful!"
The audience cheered for their favorite girls.
Wang Wenzhou picked up another bouquet of roses and ran onto the stage to present them to Liu Rushi.
Upon seeing this, Xu Rongjie could no longer sit still and quickly went to buy a bouquet of roses to present to her.
On stage, the girls strutted down the aisle to the music, and the audience below erupted in a mini-climax of flower-presenting. People kept offering bouquets to the girls they liked.
Wang Wenhua shook his head with a wry smile. A bouquet of roses cost five hundred taels of silver. You wouldn't even dare go on stage to present flowers if it weren't roses. In the blink of an eye, the stage and surrounding area were covered in flowers, worth at least twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver. Silly Xiao Wu is really something! He makes money faster than a robber!
