At the end of the dance, Liu Yu steadily completed the last movement.

The lady smiled and handed the white jade hairpin to her.

When Liu Yu received the hairpin, she felt the best jade without a single trace of impurity. Her slightly cold hand caused her heart to be even more excited.

Her father was only a county magistrate, a level nine sesame seed official who came from a peasant family. Normally, he wouldn't be able to afford such a good item for her.

Liu Yu held the hairpin, her thin face slightly flushed, and her large eyes overflowed with light and color. It was unknown whether it was due to the excitement or the dancing. After which, she saluted and returned to her seat, beaming with joy.

Regarding Liu Yu's fate, some people were indifferent, some people were disdainful, and some people were jealous.

After Liu Yu, someone else quickly stood up and performed. However, their performances were all average, but after the performance was over, they all received a small gift.

The moment the fifth girl came up, she immediately attracted everyone's attention. He saw a tall girl wearing white clothes. She had a pretty face and her expression was cold and emotionless. But the rules were very good. From the seat to the center of the field, the hem of her skirt didn't move at all as she moved about.

The ladies did not like this cold attitude, but they could not find fault with it.

As for the men's seats, they all stretched out their necks to look in front, seemingly interested in this ice beauty.

Following behind her, the maid lifted up a zither.

The ice beauty sat in front of the zither, her slender fingers resting on the zither strings. The beautiful sound of the zither floated out.

Everyone listened with fascination, as if they were in a beautiful paradise.

"This is the first daughter of the Tang Clan, Tang Yan. She's 15 years old and has always been the target of the Tang Clan's training. I heard that her talent and skills are outstanding. She really lives up to her name."

Within the beautiful music, Wan heard two ladies beside her gossiping about this ice beauty.

Hearing this, A Wan turned her head to look at the Du Family.

In about the time it took to make a cup of tea, Tang Yan finished playing the song. The entire stadium was abnormally quiet, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

Moments later, thunderous applause sounded from the male seating area. Meanwhile, the way the women expressed their emotions was rather reserved. All of the noble ladies merely expressed their acknowledgement of Tang Yan with smiles.

Everyone's reactions finally made the ice beauty have a hint of an expression. She took the opportunity to smile slightly.

This smile caused many people in the male seating area to be unable to calm down. However, the ice beauty had obviously never considered the issue of influence.

The Madam smiled, and her smile was more assured than she had been with the other girls.

Then, without letting her choose a gift, he went straight back to his seat. In that moment, everyone understood that this Miss Tang had gotten a place.

Wan was more familiar with the person who came on stage. It was Du Family's daughter, Du Hanyan.

The entire Qing City knew about the conflict between the young lady of the Du Clan and the Tang Clan. According to the rumors, the conflict between the two of them had existed since they were young, continuing for nearly ten years.

Usually, where Tang Yan was present, there would be Du Hanyi, and where there was Du Hanyi, there would also be Tang Yan. No matter what the occasion was, the two of them would always have to compete.

Naturally, it would not fall today.

Du Hanyan was performing the qipao.

There are three forms of Qingshu: sleeping Qingshu, standing Qingshu and phoenix-headed Qingshu. Broad range of sound, soft and clear, strong expressive power.

Qin Yi came from Persia, also known as "Hu Qing Shi." As recorded in the Book of Bestowal, "So Sai Nan-yue, Shrine of Foundry, and the earth behind it, began to dance with music, to call songs together, and to make twenty-five strings of music and a harp."

Lying on the ground from the sky.

The records of the [Classic] were: "By Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty... According to its shape, it seems small and small, but with seven strings, it can be used as a lute. "

Ham is not only popular in court music, but also in the people, but it is hard to learn, it is not easy to play Ham well.

Du Huan Smoke Bullet 25 strings of the vertical harpoon.

With a flick of his finger, a clear and melodious sound slowly flowed out.

Wan could not help but think of Li He's description of Qing's voice in "Li Zhi Ying": "Kunshan Jade shattered phoenix cry, hibiscus weeping sweet orchid laugh." Even though Du Hanyan's zither music didn't reach the level of "earth-shattering". But it was also incomparably beautiful.

After the song ended, no one was able to recover from it.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Du Hanyan let out a proud smile. She looked towards Tang Yan in a disrespectful manner, while Tang Yan coldly replied.

People continued to perform until four hours later.

At the end of the day, the Madam was troubled by the abstinence, because today, five outstanding ladies had been selected and only three were placed. But all of them were doing very well, which made her uncertain for a moment.

After that, she pushed the issue to the public and asked them to discuss the rankings together.

Although the other madams were unwilling to accept this hot potato, it was not easy to shirk their responsibilities and make the madame speak.

After some discussion, the rankings were made based on the family background and fame of the few ladies present.

Tang Yan's reputation had always been good in Qingzhou. The Tang Clan was a large clan that had existed for a hundred years, so she was ranked first.

Du Hanyan was the eldest daughter of the Du Family, and the Du Family was the wealthiest in Qingzhou. However, her reputation was not as good as Tang Yan's. Although their talents were on par, she was still ranked second.

The third was Yun Fei'er, the direct descendant of the Yun Family. Yun Fei'er's performance was extremely beautiful and beautiful. In order to give face to Madam, they gave the last place to Yun Fei'er.

As for the remaining two, they were Miss Lin Susu and the second lady of the Du Family, Du Hen.

The Madam was very satisfied with the result, because although Yun Fei'er's dancing in the air was good, she might not be able to get into the top three. She wanted to give her daughter a backdoor, but she was afraid of the consequences. Fortunately, the noble madams of Qingcheng were all intelligent and understood her intentions.

However, in order to compensate Duhane and Lin Susu, she removed a pair of jade bracelets and gave one to each of them.

Lin Susu felt wronged, but she tried her best to hold it in. Duhane answered with a faint bow, his mind elsewhere.

In addition, the five of them each received 100 taels of silver. At this moment, everyone was beaming with joy.

Although Qingzhou was rich, a lady's monthly allowance was limited and she earned 100 taels of silver at once. She didn't even care about Lin Susu who felt wronged.

Since then, Hua Chao Yan ended. After everyone left, there were groups of three or five, but most of the families just sat on the ground and ate some snacks.

On the Du Family's side, the doctor was very happy. Although Du Hanyan was doing her best to restrain herself, her smile could not be concealed.

Du Hanchin, who was standing at the side, had a cold expression and did not say a word. Second Madam lightly patted her back, hinting her not to lose her composure. Only then was she able to raise her spirits, but the disappointment in her eyes could not be concealed.
