The final of Luoyang City Oiran Contest is divided into two stages.

The first stage is the scoring by the judges. The result of this stage is not the final result, but it can give everyone a reference. The "Oiran" identified by these professionals is more likely to win in the second stage.

The second stage is the most exciting one, because the only way to win in this stage is by spending money.

Ten contestants stood on the stage at the same time, and they were back to the same starting line.

Then all the audience present can bid, and the final result of the bidding will determine the final candidate for the oiran.

On the surface, this stage tests the oiran's family background.

Although there are also beautiful and gentle girls in poor families, if you compare them with the girls of aristocratic families, the girls from poor families will definitely lack some background. This background needs to be built with real money, and it cannot be cultivated overnight.

Most of the literati and scholars regard money as dirt, but how can they fulfill their ambitions without money?

Of course, this is just an excuse Luoyang City made to justify its actions. Although it is far-fetched, it is sufficient to deal with the problem.

The real purpose behind it is to make money.

The reason why Luoyang City was able to develop to one of the largest scales is due to its strength on one hand and its financial resources on the other.

After all, if we want to ensure the people's happy life, we must have money. Only when the people are happy can we build a better city. This is a virtuous circle.

Part of the money raised in the second stage of bidding will be distributed to the contestants themselves, and the rest will all go into the "city treasury" of Luoyang City. As for what this money will be used for later, only the relevant personnel know.

The final bid of the last Luoyang City's courtesan Zhen Qing was 3 taels of gold, but no courtesan's bid in history was lower than taels of gold.

The audience was jealous but also happy to watch the fun of the rich. After all, it was not their own money, so of course the more they paid, the better. It would be even better if they could break the record of the previous session.

Zhen Qing returned to the hosting position and loudly announced the start of the second phase of bidding.

As soon as she finished speaking, bidding sounds began to rise one after another.

"Hongyan 100 taels of silver!"

"Hibiscus 200 taels!"

"Shilian 500 taels!"

"..."

The initial bids were just for fun, and many people without money would also shout, because they knew that any bid below 1,000 taels of gold was just for show and would be suppressed anyway.

It was not until the price reached more than one thousand taels of gold that the bustling market scene quickly quieted down.

"1000 taels of gold for the alluring city!"

The poor kept their mouths shut, and the rich were also considering what price they could offer based on their wealth. In short, the next battlefield was not for the rich, but for those who were both rich and powerful.

"1100 taels for a stunning beauty!"

"Qingcheng 1500 taels!"

"1800 taels of Tianxiang!"

"Qingcheng 2000 taels!"

Everyone turned their eyes to the man who had been spending money on Sun Siyun, a man who looked like an elegant scholar.

Some people gasped when they saw his face clearly, and then revealed the man's identity under curious questioning from people around them.

"He is the Master of the Treasure Pavilion, Shang Yang!"

"What did you say? He is the Shang Yang who is rumored to be rich enough to rival a country?"

"Oh my god, so the most popular girl this time must be the city lord's daughter?"

"Of course. Even if the entire Luoyang City is mobilized, it may not be as powerful as one finger of Pavilion Master Shang."

"Alas! What a pity for my Juesha, who finally won first place in the first stage, but I didn't expect it to be all in vain."

"It can only be said that she was unlucky. She happened to be in the same class as Miss Sun. If she participates in the next Oiran class, she will definitely be hers."

"Well, the result is set in stone. There's nothing to watch now."

"Who says it isn't?"

Similar to the discussions of the crowd, most people stopped bidding after seeing that it was Shang Yang who made the bid to support Sun Siyun. They retreated in the face of difficulties and did not want to offend the Treasure Pavilion, while also giving face to Luoyang City.

"Qingcheng 3500 taels!"

Shang Yang's bid once again refreshed Zhen Qing's price. This price also made all the bidders so far shake their heads and sigh. They all smiled bitterly and thought that they were just here to join in the fun.

On the stage, Sun Siyun glanced at the bored Luo Yiyi, thinking that she was just trying to save face and pretending to be strong.

Thinking of this, the mocking smile on her lips became more joyful, and she deliberately provoked the other party in a low voice.

"You're right. A defeated general will always be a defeated general. A temporary jump is just a clown."

In response to her, Luo Yiyi gave her an extremely rude eye roll.

Sun Siyun was furious again at her attitude that seemed to show disdain for being so long-winded. Then she comforted herself that the other party was just a grasshopper in autumn, and she would make the other party lose face when the result was announced!

On the other side, Su Qiaoqiao became more and more anxious. She was not afraid that Luo Yiyi would suffer a loss. Instead, she was worried that if Luo Yiyi really lost, according to the usual style of this little devil, he might become so angry that he would demolish the entire Luoyang city in the next second.

She was frowning and struggling over whether she should stop her or protect her. Stopping her seemed unrealistic, while protecting her would mean preventing her from being beaten to death by Luoyang City and Xuannv Sect.

There was no new bid for a long time. Just when Zhen Qing was about to announce the result of the game, a gentle and magnetic voice, not loud but extremely clear, spread throughout the venue.

"5000 taels for a stunning beauty!"

There was another uproar in the audience, and everyone looked at the person who made the bid with admiration. It was Qi Gui who had returned to his original position.

Shang Yang followed the gazes of the crowd and looked over with interest, but he didn't get a look back from the other party for a long time. Instead of being angry, he became more and more interested in Qi Gui.

"Qingcheng 6000 taels!"

He thought that this increase in price would attract the other party's attention, but he didn't expect that Qi Guitou continued bidding without even turning back, and this time he offered a price that no one expected.

"Two stunning beauties!"

This time, Shang Yang did not respond immediately. Instead, he frowned and fell into some kind of dilemma.

The audience below was enjoying the show and discussing it enthusiastically.

"Wow! That's 1 taels of gold! I've never seen so much money in my life."

"Let alone this life, I don't think I've ever seen so much money in my three lives. Who is this man? Is he really more powerful than Shang Yang?"

"Impossible! The Treasure Pavilion is considered the richest in the world. No one can be richer than Pavilion Master Shang."

"Then this kid can't be shouting nonsense because he has no money, right? He looks like a decent person."

"Hey! Whatever it is, we just need to watch the fun. Didn't you notice that Miss Sun's face is as black as the bottom of a pot?"

"It's true. Luoyang City has completely lost its reputation this time because of her."

"Hush! You dare to make fun of Miss Sun here? You're going to die!"

After this reminder, people suddenly realized that everyone in Luoyang City had a bad face, and they immediately shut up and stopped talking about the trouble.

As a result, the field suddenly became silent, which made the atmosphere even more weird.
