Chapter 430: With my appearance, I will definitely be selected, right?
Guests: "..."
They were stunned at first, then reacted.
“Hahahahahaha…” Everyone burst into laughter, and some with low sense of humor even shed tears.
"We are here to have fun, why are you singing sad music?"
"Why are you singing like your mother is dead?"
"Yeah, do you have any conscience? We were in such a good mood today, but you ruined our mood."
The guests were cursing and some even took off their boots and threw them at Ding Ruolian on the stage.
"Xianshibao, you are uglier than the ugly actress in the drama. I am really amazed."
Ding Ruolian was hit by a shoe and there were several shoe marks on her face.
She cried and hid. This was the first time in her twenty-plus years of life that she knew what shame and failure meant.
You can't blame her. When she and Ding Ruoqiu were begging on the street, she didn't sing sad songs and passers-by didn't give her money.
So, she was right to say that what she was best at was funeral music or mourning songs.
I felt mixed emotions, 'What's going on? Why did everyone say I was beautiful and had a voice like a nightingale when I was in Xichang? Why am I not welcome in Dafeng?'
What she didn't know was that in the past, because of Mu Wanyan, everyone would give the princess some face.
She and Ding Ruoqiu followed behind the princess, and they were Mu Wanyan's junior sisters. Who wouldn't praise them against their will?
……
After being driven off the stage, Ding Ruolian cried and asked Xiu'er: "What should I do? I won't be able to make it into the top three today no matter what."
Xiu'er shook her head and answered firmly: "No."
"Hmm?" Ding Ruolian looked at Xiu'er incredulously, "Is there any hope?"
Xiu'er: "Conservatively speaking, you should be ranked outside the top ninety."
Ding Ruolian burst into tears when she heard this.
At this time, Xiu'er came over to comfort her and said, "Don't be discouraged. There are three rounds in total. You still have two chances."
Ding Ruo Lian: "The first round is a talent show, what will the next round be about?"
Xiu'er: "The next round will be a skin contest. If the girl's skin is good enough, maybe she can turn the deadlock around."
Ding Ruolian's eyes lit up, "Are we really comparing skin?"
"Thank God, there is always a way out."
"Although I suffered a lot when I was young and lived by wandering and begging, I have managed to keep my skin very well."
She bit her lip and smiled, "I can't say her skin is as white as cream, but it's definitely better than frost and snow."
Xiu'er cupped her hands and said, "Good luck to you, young lady."
Ding Ruolian showed a confident smile, "Chaihuoniu, just watch and see how I slap those spectators in the face."
……
Soon, the second round of competition began.
The girls took off their outer robes and inner garments and stood on the stage wearing only very few clothes, or just a bellyband.
The shoulders, arms and a large area of the back are exposed for people to judge the quality of the skin.
Ding Ruolian was still shy and refused to take off her clothes to go on stage, clamoring that her stunning beauty could not be seen by others.
But he couldn't bear the threats and inducements from the thugs, so he took off his underwear and stood in the queue.
The old maids brought basins of water to the table.
As soon as the mother of Wanchun Tower gave an order, the maids poured all the water in the basin onto the girls.
Then he quickly asked the girls to turn around and check who had the least water droplets left on their bodies.
For girls with smooth skin, water drops will fall naturally, but for girls with larger pores, water drops will definitely accumulate more on their bodies.
Ding Ruo Lian was not panicked, thinking: "That's too much. How can all the water flow off my body?"
"We all eat cereals, so if water touches our bodies, there will be water accumulation."
As she was thinking about it, she turned around and her eyes widened in shock.
Because she found that when the girls around her poured water in a basin, most of the water droplets slid to the ground.
It's as if there are no pores on the body, and there are almost no water drops left, or only a little bit.
Looking at herself again, she had big pores on her body and some rather long hair on it.
When the water poured on her, it was like frost, covered with dew.
"Hahaha." The audience burst into laughter again.
"Hurry up and blast that worldly treasure that can grow grass on her pores away. Don't let her get in our way here."
"With such bad skin, she actually dares to come to the Wanhua Tower to compete for the Oiran? She is really a toad wanting to be Chang'e, she has no idea how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
Ding Ruolian blushed with shame, and as a result, she had to admit that her skin was not as good as others.
She covered her face and cried, and finally couldn't hold it in any longer and ran off the stage crying.
"It's over, it's all over, I'm going to turn into a human pig, I won't be able to compete for the top three oiran."
At this time, Xiu'er came again.
She comforted him, "Don't cry, girl. You still have one last round to play."
Ding Ruolian cried, "It's useless. No matter how many times I compete, I won't be able to get into the top three."
"I've already lost two games, how can I turn things around?"
Xiu'er smiled and said, "Girl, do you want to hear some good news?"
Ding Ruolian wiped her tears and said, "Go ahead, but let me make this clear first. If you dare to laugh at me again, I will definitely skin you alive."
"I'll drag you down with me before I die."
Xiu'er was not angry either, and her face still showed no sadness or joy. She replied, "King Chen knows that you will definitely not be selected into the top three courtesans, so he specially ordered me to come and inform you: as long as you can successfully enter the top 80, he will still keep his promise and release you."
"Are you serious?" Ding Ruolian's eyes lit up when she heard that and she immediately stood up from her chair.
“Reaching the top 80 shouldn’t be too difficult for me.”
"No matter how bad I am, there's no way I can't even make it to the bottom."
She took Xiu'er's hand and said anxiously, "Xiu'er, tell me what the final round is about?"
Xiu Er: "Comparing appearance."
"Compare looks?" Ding Ruolian was happy again when she heard it.
If you want to sleep, you need a pillow, and when you bow your head, it will touch the sky.
Ding Ruolian said confidently: "I, Ding Ruolian, have been most proud of my face since I was a child."
"Yes, how can an Oiran contest not be about appearance? Isn't the most important part of a woman our face?"
Xiu'er didn't take it seriously, and replied with a frown: "Girl, you should be happy after you are selected."
"Oh, you still don't believe me?" Ding Ruolian said with a smile: "Although I am not the most beautiful woman in Xichang State, but with my looks, I can definitely be among the top 50 in Wanchun Tower."
"If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"
After saying that, Ding Ruolian walked onto the stage with a proud and arrogant look on her face.
At this point, the final round of the Wanchunlou Courtesan Competition has begun.
The girls came on stage one after another. However, their appearance was not judged by the spectators, but selected by a group of experienced old maids.
The maids held a long ruler and measured the girls' faces left and right, then wrote and drew on paper to calculate the so-called "golden ratio" - such as how many inches the eyes corresponded to how many inches the chin, and how many inches the nose needed to match the mouth.
If this value falls within a specific range, then the woman is an impeccable beauty; otherwise, she can only be regarded as ordinary, or not considered a beauty by the public.
When it was Ding Ruolian's turn, she smiled at the maids and thought to herself: "I'm sure I can meet the standard with my appearance, right?"
