A month came in a blink of an eye. In this month, Ma Mingfeng, in addition to teaching songs and hanging out with Li Xiangjun, his martial arts skills were not interrupted, and he did not forget to learn military books. He also wrote several articles for his cheap father to help him correct and memorize them.

During this period, Jiang Pingjie, recommended by Chen Zilong, also came. Jiang Pingjie had liked real learning. After talking to Ma Mingfeng, he suddenly felt like it was the same. He willingly became Ma Mingfeng's companion and student and master. This was also the first aide recruited by Ma Mingfeng.

In addition, within this month, Ma Mingfeng and Li Xiangjun officially got married. According to Ma Shiying's wish, the two could have done the marriage directly without Li's absence. However, Ma Mingfeng was unwilling to do so. He hoped to get married with the cheap mother also present, so that the cheap mother could not leave any regrets.

So the marriage between Ma Mingfeng and Li Xiangjun was put on hold, and even Ma Mingfeng himself didn't know what kind of twists and turns the marriage between him and Li Xiangjun had experienced?

However, the biggest thing in front of us is the song competition. After a month of continuous fermentation, the song competition has become a major concern for all classes in Nanjing. From officials and gentry to peddlers and pawns, almost everyone is anxiously waiting for the arrival of this day.

In addition, some gambling shops also began to bet at this time, and bet on some top prostitutes, betting on them to win.

Just as everyone was looking forward to it, this day finally came. On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, although it was late winter, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was very warm, just like it was entering March.

Since this winter is particularly colder than usual, it is rare to have such a good day for the whole winter. Because of this, many people think that the day selected for the song competition is actually such a good day, which also means the favor of God.

It is precisely this reason that more people came to watch the song competition on this day, and even some officials were alarmed. The most representative ones were Cao Jiang, the admiral of the Right Prefecture of Nanjing, Liu Kongzhao, the guardian of the Yangtze River, and Zhu Guobi, a member of the Donglin Party, and the Duke of the Guoguo.

On the day of the competition, these two people took the initiative to go to Meixianglou to support him and were respected as VIPs.

Ma Mingfeng and Liu Kongzhao were old acquaintances, so there was no need to say that both sides were. Zhu Guobi was a romantic and elegant person, gentle and kind-hearted person, but Ma Mingfeng knew that although this person was a member of the Ming Dynasty, he finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and had a very unbearable character.

However, this person's current status is high enough, so Ma Mingfeng is not inconvenient to offend him. Moreover, he came with kindness. If he refused directly, it would cause trouble for him, so he had to agree.

At the moment of the year, with Zhu Guobi's announcement, the song contest officially began.

The first person to go on stage was Li Shiniang from Xueyi Building. Li Shiniang was as white as snowy, with a beautiful appearance and a beautiful singing voice. After a song, everyone onlookers were stunned. After a while, thunderous applause burst out.

After Li Shiniang performed on stage, some singers with poor appearance and singing voice. Although their performance was good, they performed a little badly when they had preconceived impression of Li Shiniang. Therefore, Li Shiniang became the focus for a while and made a lot of attention.

But not long after, with Kou Baimen's appearance, Li Shiniang's momentum was suppressed. Kou Baimen looked beautiful and refined, with a round voice, and felt a sense of being extraordinary, and suddenly became people's new favorite.

After seeing Kou Baimen, Zhu Guobi's eyes never left her again, which made Ma Mingfeng, who saw this scene, couldn't help but sigh secretly: "This is really a bad fate. In history, Kou Baimen was destroyed in the hands of Zhu Guobi. Looking at the scene in this scene, I'm afraid Kou Baimen will still be unable to get rid of this fate. It's a pity that the little girl who is as golden as jade was finally destroyed in the hands of this person. In this way, I would have to hold this song competition, wouldn't it harm her? No, I must find a way to secretly destroy this marriage. Even if the sister of Baimen annoyed me, I would do whatever I could."

So after Kou Baimen's performance, Ma Mingfeng commented: "Kou's singing is a bit inconspicuous, his tone is not very accurate, and his body movements are not accurate enough, and his voice is trembling. He can be rated as a Class B."

After Kou Baimen finished singing, he thought he was singing well, but he didn't expect Ma Mingfeng to say this, and his face turned pale. She opened her mouth to say something, but was suppressed by a wave of mockery. So Kou Baimen burst into tears and ran out of Meixiang Tower in shame and anger, and never looked back.

Zhu Guobi was very dissatisfied with this and said loudly: "Mr. Ma, I think Miss Kou sang very well, why did you say that?"

Ma Mingfeng said with a smile on his face: "The Lord Baoguo doesn't know anything. Although this Kou sounds good at first glance, he has made many professional mistakes, and in addition."

Ma Mingfeng looked around and said softly in Zhu Guobi's ear: "When I was teaching to sing songs, I found that Kou's mouth had a odor. Just think about it, even if a singer cannot breathe like orchid, how can he have a odor in his mouth? If she wins the award, wouldn't she laugh at me as if there is no one in Nanjing in the future?"

Zhu Guobi was still tempted by Kou Baimen, but now he heard this and suddenly lost his interest. He shook his head and sighed: "It's such a pity. Such a little girl actually has such a problem. No wonder she has been selling her skills but not her body before."

Just as the two were talking, Gu Mei appeared. Her hot figure and beautiful voice immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Zhu Guobi forgot the little girl she had secretly regretted before, staring at Gu Mei without a moment, with her eyes hot and direct.

Ma Mingfeng then introduced to Zhu Guobi: "This is Gu Mei. She is not only beautiful but also has a good voice. She is the best in Nanqu with Chen Yuanyuan. I heard that this woman is in love with the talented man Gong Ding."

"So that's it, it's true that he is a talented man and a beautiful woman..." Zhu Guobi was disappointed. Gong Dingzi was not only talented, but also now he is a military officer. Even powerful officials such as Zhou Yanru, Chen Yan, Chen Xinjia, and Lu Daqi dared to submit memorials and impeachment. How dare he provoke him?

The person who appeared on stage was Dong Xiaowan, and Zhu Guobi was also jealous. However, Ma Mingfeng said that she was in love with the talented man Mao Pijiang, which made Zhu Guobi very helpless. Mao Pijiang had a high reputation and was an important member of the Donglin Party. With the reputation and power of the Donglin Party, even if Zhu Guobi was a member of the Ming Dynasty, he would not be willing to be so bad, so he had to give up.

Liu Rushi and Chen Zilong who came on stage later fell in love with Chen Zilong. Chen Zilong's reputation was higher than that of Mao Pijiang, so Zhu Guobi naturally did not dare to provoke him. Bian Yujing and Zheng Tuoni were too cold and arrogant, and Gong Zhilu's appearance was inferior to all the girls, and Zhu Guobi looked down on him.

Later, when Chen Yuanyuan appeared, Zhu Guobi even saliva flowed out. He was shocked by Chen Yuanyuan's appearance, and he vowed in his heart that no matter who she was in love with, he had to take her down.

Ma Mingfeng was suddenly panicked when he saw it. Chen Yuanyuan was of the best voice and appearance among all the girls, but it was undeniable that it was also a "beauty". There were too many things surrounding her during the Ming and Qing dynasties that affected the current situation. If she was asked to marry Zhu Guobi, I really don't know what troubles would be in the future.

So Ma Mingfeng said in a hurry: "This is Chen Yuanyuan. Both his appearance and voice are of top quality. She is definitely the first name in this song competition. Wansheng heard that this person was attracted by Master Tian Hongyu, and it may not take long before Lord Tian would go south for her. Alas, it's a pity. Wansheng privately believes that Miss Chen is actually the one who matches the boss best."

"What? Tian, ​​Tian Hongyu?" When Zhu Guobi heard Tian Hongyu's daimyo, his fighting spirit was like an eggplant made from frost, and he no longer had any thoughts.

Tian Hongyu was the father of Emperor Chongzhen's favorite concubine, and he was also an important minister favored by Chongzhen. No one in the court dared to provoke him. Zhu Guobi was just an ordinary duke. Even if he had ten courage, he would not dare to provoke such a big shot.

"Hehe, I, Zhu Guobi, originally thought that I was a character, but I didn't expect that these cousins ​​also had backstages that I couldn't afford to offend. It's really embarrassing for me to come here."
