As the night became late, the crowds of people who were caring in the streets and markets began to become scattered and thin, and they all returned home and prepared to rest.

"Brother, let's go back too."

After visiting the places you should visit, I also enjoy all the things I like to try.

"Yeah, OK."

Ye Junsheng had no objection, so he left the inner city with her and walked towards the location of the residence in the outer city. Along the way, he met many people who were living in the outer city, and kept walking with laughter. He talked enthusiastically about what he saw and heard tonight, and was in a happy mood.

For a busy life, the end of the year may be their most relaxing day.

"Junsheng, you are actually here!"

A sudden scream of surprise followed by a person who walked over quickly, with a look of shock and excitement on his face.

Ye Junsheng quickly recognized the other party and called out, "Tianchen, why are you here too?"

Liu Tianchen, who is also a student affiliated with Guanchen Academy, is in the same class as Ye Junsheng. In the academy, except for Huang Chao, he only counts the best relationship with Ye Junsheng. Thinking about the time when facing Chu Sanlang's aggressiveness, Liu Tianchen was unmoved and stood firmly on Ye Junsheng's side.

He is an ordinary person and is considered a poor man. Perhaps it is because of this that he has awesome integrity and regards Ye Junsheng, who is also a poor man, as a confidant. He is well-written and has a good reputation, and belongs to the practical school. Ye Junsheng also appreciates him.

Unexpectedly, from Jizhou to Yangzhou, I would meet again on New Year's Eve, thousands of miles away.

"Tianchen, I didn't expect you to come to Yangzhou too."

Liu Tianchen smiled and said, "A few days have passed after you went south. Brother Yu thought about it and finally made a decision. He took the opportunity to take it as a study tour, so he followed him."

When he met Ye Junsheng, he was in a good mood.

However, he was not invited and did not have the opportunity to participate in the talent competition and came to Yangzhou. It was more about being bystanders, which was equivalent to studying and gaining insight.

In fact, there are many scholars like him. I believe that after the New Year, a peak will be set off and pour into Yangzhou City.

After a few greetings to each other, Ye Junsheng asked: "Tianchen, where are you living now?"

Liu Tianchen replied: "I have a friend I know in Yangzhou. I live in the inner city, so I stayed at his home."

“So very good.”

After another simple answer, due to time, Yiyi bid farewell and made an appointment to get together tomorrow.

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land can be considered a happy event. Even though Mr. Ye is indifferent, his desire for happiness cannot be suppressed.

No words all night.

The next day, Ye Junsheng got up early and asked his sister a few words. Then he went out alone and went into the inner city to talk to Liu Tianchen.

Last night, the two made an appointment to meet in a teahouse called "Wushanju", so they met without much effort.

In addition to Liu Tianchen, there was another person present. It was Liu Tianchen's friend, surnamed Zhang, whose courtesy name was "Shanzong". He was polite when he met for the first time, so he would not mention it.

When I served tea and various snacks, the conversation started in a freehand atmosphere. In fact, there was nothing important. It was just daily gossip.

Zhang Shanzong suddenly said, "Junsheng, Brother Yu heard from Tianchen that you are the number one talented man in the north and cannot be admired. There will be a literary meeting tomorrow, so you can also enjoy the audience."

During the Spring Festival, major prefectures and prefectures will hold cultural festivals of different sizes, which is a grand event for literati and poets. As an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, Yangzhou will naturally be no exception and will only be held more grandly.

The other party spoke, and Ye Junsheng had nothing to do at the moment. After pondering for a moment, he agreed and asked, "I heard that Jiangnan is as talented as a forest. This article will definitely be bright and bright, and the competition will be fierce."

Zhang Shanzong smiled: "That's...but Yangzhou Cultural Association, some rules may be different from those in the north."

"Oh, I hope to hear it carefully."

At that moment, Zhang Shanzong explained in detail that there were indeed other special considerations.

This Yangzhou New Year Cultural Fair was held by various famous families, with more than a dozen events at the same time. Whenever a masterpiece was born, there would be special servants copying it, riding a fast horse to communicate and appreciate it.

Therefore, it looks loose and has many mountains, but there are competitions between each other, it depends on which company has the best works and wins the top spot.

In this way, all the fees are paid by the family that holds them. In order to attract talented and famous talents, generous rewards will be set. For example, someone's work is excellent and won a lot of applause. Not only can he be outstanding, but he will also receive rewards, which can be said to be both fame and fortune.

Of course, by holding literary parties, wealthy families also gain a lot. People's hearts, fame, and influence are all beneficial. Anyway, they will not do business that loses money.

Over time, competition has even become increasingly fierce. The holding of the Cultural Association is linked to its own strength, level, status and influence, which is related to face and far exceeds the meaning of the Cultural Association itself.

The Tianhua Dynasty always belonged to the system of "governing the country with culture".

After listening to Zhang Shanzong's story, Ye Junsheng nodded repeatedly. At the same time, he also knew that the literary gathering he would attend tomorrow was affiliated with the Guo family and was going to the Guo family's manor.

The Guo family is well-known in Yangzhou and is in line with the Ximen family and Zhou family, with great weight.

The literary club is a private company, and its overall form is very loose and free. In principle, you can enter as a scholar and enjoy a free diet. As for whether there are any works to take action, there are no strict requirements. Therefore, Zhang Shanzong invited Ye Junsheng and Liu Tianchen to come, which is in accordance with the rules.

Not to mention that Ye Junsheng himself is not an ordinary person. His lyrics have been passed down to Jiangnan and are widely circulated. For example, Zhang Shanzong has also read "Nian Nujiao" and "Shuituo Ge Tou" and was deeply amazed. For this reason, when he heard Liu Tianchen talk about it, he immediately came to meet and introduced him to him.

To win over Ye Junsheng to attend the literary meeting was Zhang Shanzong's greatest purpose. As long as Ye Junsheng showed his performance and showed off, he would be honored.

The main thing was finalized, and the rest were chatting. It was noon, after lunch, and then said goodbye.

"Junsheng, the astronomical meeting will begin at noon tomorrow. You will come here earlier and meet at Wushan Ju. Then Brother Yu will lead the way."

Ye Junsheng smiled and said, "I'm working hard." He said goodbye to Liu Tianchen again and started returning to the house.

As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw his sister coming up and pouting, "Brother, you are finally back, and it makes people anxious to wait."

"Hmm? What's the matter?"

Ye Junmei quietly pointed into the room and lowered her voice: "The shopkeeper Yan is here again."

Upon hearing this, Ye Junsheng smiled and said, "It's a good thing that he's here."

When I entered the room, I saw the thick-dressed shopkeeper Yan sitting in the small hall: "Happy New Year, Shopkeeper Yan."

"Oh, Mr. Ye, you are back."

Manager Yan quickly got up and returned the gift.

"Who is the shopkeeper Yan coming to see me?"

Ye Junsheng asked tentatively.

"Congratulations to Mr. Ye!"

Manager Yan held his fists very happily and bowed.

When Ye Junsheng heard this, he was confused. If the other party came to him to buy words again, it would be reasonable, but a sudden "congratulations" came out, how could he be happy?

"Shopkeeper Yan, what do you mean?"

Manager Yan smiled and said, "Actually, I am here to send invitations."

“Invitation?”

Ye Junsheng became even more misty: It seems that he first came to report, but he was not familiar with the place, so who would come to invite him?

Manager Yan learned about his doubts and did not dare to neglect it. He quickly took out a red invitation: "Please take a look at Mr. Ye."

Ye Junsheng took it and opened it and couldn't help but feel silence: It turned out that this invitation was sent by the Guo family, signed by Miss Guo family. The content was to invite him to go to the Guo family manor tomorrow to attend the cultural meeting...

This is……

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Shopkeeper Yan, this Guo family? Well, how many Guo families are there in Yangzhou?"

Manager Yan laughed and said, "Young Master Ye, there has always been only one Guo family in Yangzhou, a famous family, and is very impressive."

For the Guo family, the invitation from Zhang Shanzong should overlap with the invitation in front of him, and they all belong to the same place. This coincidence is interesting.

The problem is that I have never known Miss Guo’s third child, so why did the other party send an invitation for no reason?

Manager Yan explained again: "Mr. Ye, it's true that your three copybooks were bought by the same person, and that is the third lady of the Guo family. She admired Mr. Ye's pen and ink, so she ordered someone to send an invitation, hoping to invite the young master to attend the Guo family's New Year's Cultural Conference... Well, I volunteered to deliver it myself."

This "personality" is very particular. In fact, Wei Nongzhai has nothing to do with the Guo family, but because Manager Yan knew where Ye Junsheng lived, he simply went there and sent an invitation. The intention was self-evident, just to sell it well and could hold Miss Guo San, the big customer, so he would not have to worry about Wei Nongzhai's business.

Of course, you can also give your favor to Ye Junsheng.

The Guo family is a huge figure in the Jiangnan area. It has a great family and a wealthy country. Although at the New Year's Cultural Fair, people with scholars and fame can basically attend, it is completely different from visiting them with invitations. The difference is too big.

Just like the difference between an uninvited guest and a distinguished guest.

Miss Guo San sent an invitation to invite Ye Junsheng to attend the literary meeting, which was completely different from being invited by Zhang Shanzong.

Strictly speaking, one is the owner’s personal invitation, and the other is just the instigation and initiative of a friend.

Holding the invitation, Ye Junsheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Yan. Please go back and tell the Guo family that Xiaosheng will go tomorrow."

I must go there. I have already promised Zhang Shanzong that even if I don’t have this invitation, I will go there.

Shopkeeper Yan was not surprised at all about this result. It was a rare opportunity to be invited by the Guo family, and it was a fool not to go.

"Young Master Ye is polite... By the way, can you still have copybooks for sale?"

The topic changes and raises key questions.

Ye Junsheng said: "Sorry, I haven't written recently."

When Manager Yan heard this, he was disappointed, but knew that he could not help, so he had to say, "Let Ye Junsheng have a new work, please send it to Weinengzhai, the price is easy to discuss." Then he said goodbye and left with a smile.

The old guy is having fun. Ye Junsheng has three characters, each of which makes a net profit of 200 texts, plus Gu Wendao's consumption... Hey, thanks to his determination at that time, he tried to buy a copybook, so that the good things happened later...
