Zhu Guobi's departure made Ma Mingfeng's heart suddenly relax. Although the other party had no real power, his status was high enough, and he looked good now. Such a tall, rich and handsome man could easily capture the hearts of a woman. But the most important thing was that he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the end and sold all the singer's maids. It is really conceivable what kind of fate those women would suffer in his hands.

Ma Mingfeng has been with these women for many days and has already developed a deep friendship with them and is unwilling to let them suffer the miserable fate in the future. Therefore, he responded with various words, which hit Zhu Guobi's confidence and forced him to leave.

After Zhu Guobi left, the song competition continued. In fact, the most exciting part had already ended at this time, and the game was basically finalized.

In the final ranking, Ma Mingfeng discussed with everyone and believed that Chen Yuanyuan's singing voice and tone were fully in line with the standards. Gu Hengbo's expression was in place, and there was no problem with the tone. He had a wonderful singing voice. The two were tied for first place. In addition, Liu Rushi fully demonstrated the farewell mood in this song and won the second place without any controversy. The third place was Bian Sai, the fourth place was Dong Xiaowan, Zheng Tuoni and Huang Yanqiu tied for fifth place, Li Shiniang ranked sixth place, Gong Zhilu was seventh place...

After announcing the ranking, the women were convinced, but when they saw the empty seat where Kou Baimen sat before, there were still a few people who were a little surprised. They didn’t see Ma Yue’s prejudice against her at the beginning, why did her evaluation this time be so low? It is estimated that among the more than 100 contestants, her ranking can reach fifty or sixty.

Ma Mingfeng did not explain these things. He first gave Chen Yuanyuan and Gu Hengbo a reward of 500 taels of silver, and gave them two new songs tailored for them.

"What is this?" Chen Yuanyuan and Gu Hengbo looked at the two strange songs in their hands, and were surprised.

Chen Yuanyuan's hand was a lyric "Red Bean", which read: "I haven't felt it well yet. When the snowflakes bloom, we tremble together, and we will understand more clearly what gentleness is... Sometimes, sometimes, I will believe that everything has an end, and we will get together and leave, sometimes..."

In fact, she likes the meaning of these lyrics, but these lyrics are clearly not part of any of the ancient poems, and the love words in them are so explicit that they are not inferior to Huajian lyrics. Although she was born as a prostitute, she felt a little embarrassed to sing them in front of those literati with identities.

The poem in Gu Hengbo's hand is also surprising: "Good flowers do not bloom often, good times do not always exist, so worrying untie the eyebrows, tears shed lovesickness, after parting tonight, when will you come again... Life is rarely drunk for a few times, why not be happy..."

Looking at the expressions of the two girls, Ma Mingfeng smiled faintly and said, "The two sisters may not be able to understand the beauty of this song just by reading the lyrics. I just asked a few musicians to teach them to sing and let them perform for them to listen to. Maybe it feels different."

Then Ma Mingfeng waved his hand and saw a girl walking forward and timidly sang the song "Red Beans".

It has to be said that the singing style of popular songs four hundred years later was something that was not available in that era. Of course, if it was more refined and artistic than the poetry, the latter might not be able to match it. However, this is also a new and technologically advanced. Therefore, after listening to this song, everyone present was stunned. The song was brightly rhythmic and melodious. The lyrics that were a little bold but not vulgar also aroused the interest of the scholars and officials. As for ordinary people, they could understand it, so they couldn't help but pride and listened, and in the end they even applauded.

After listening to it, Chen Yuanyuan also felt in her heart. She didn't expect that the lyrics of this song didn't look very eye-catching, but they sounded so nice. The simple lyrics were so fascinating.

After the song "When will come again", Gu Hengbo was stunned. The song sounded more literary and artistic, but the singing style was sweet and could fully conform to her style. However, because there were no songs suitable for her before, she could only sing some obscene lyrics and erotic tunes that she did not want to sing when serving those nobles. It would be difficult to sing them again with a third person present. However, today's songs are suitable for her to sing in any happy atmosphere, which is like tailor-made for her.

Just as the two were stunned, Ma Mingfeng said with a smile: "Two sisters, the two musical actors I chose are actually much worse than you in terms of singing talent and voice. Even so, it can still cause such a sensation. If you sing, I don't need to say more about what kind of momentum it can create, right? Please don't worry, since these two songs are given to you as prizes, I will naturally let them pass the song to you. Of course, I have only had the first experience in this regard. If there is a new song in the future, it will not be impossible to pass it to you. But I have made an agreement with Miss Li in Meixianglou, and the songs I will pass on in the future can only be the girl in Meixianglou."

In fact, Ma Mingfeng's intention is very obvious. Chen Yuanyuan and Gu Hengbo knew it well after listening to it. Even if they learned those two songs, they were only popular for a while. When people get tired of listening and it is not new, they themselves may be like tomorrow's yellow flowers. They know that the musician in front of them is probably the only one in the entire Nanjing city or even the world. If they want to get such a song again, they can only join Meixianglou.

At this time, Ma Mingfeng said again: "Meixianglou will not let you come in vain. In addition to teaching you new songs for free, the profits you earn from singing will be divided by you. With the reputation of you two, plus the new songs of Meixianglou, it is probably not difficult to accumulate wealth."

"What you said is true?"

Chen Yuanyuan and Gu Hengbo are also smart people. As soon as they hear this, they know that this will mean that they will have huge income in the future, and they are immediately moved.

But he saw Li Zhenli saying seriously: "Of course it is true. I can guarantee you this point that we can sign a contract."

Chen Yuanyuan thought about it and nodded and said, "If this is true, we can't agree to you, but we still have a contract to sell our bodies in the original brothel, so we can only agree to go to Meixianglou to sing songs in our leisure time, and then consider redeeming ourselves after saving enough money. We will work together with you to sing songs in our original brothel. Of course, we also have our bottom line. We will ensure that the songs we learned in Meixianglou will never sing in the original brothel."

Seeing this, Gu Hengbo nodded and said, "The same is true for me. Apart from the "Farewell" I learned before and the song "When will you come again" that Ma Musician promised to reward me just now, I will never sing other music taught by Meixianglou in Meilou."
