Chapter 217: The Gathering

Winter has passed, everything has recovered, warblers fly and grass grow, and there is a sign of vitality - the time has come again.

On a sunny day, several groups of literati and rioters have already rushed out of the city in groups to go out of the suburbs.

The foothills of the mountain where the Ye brothers and sisters are located have become a hot spot. When scholars see that there are thatched huts here, they will inevitably pay more attention, and they will take a few glances when they stop by.

They looked at Ye Junmei, and they were immediately shocked as fairies, and praises such as "natural beauty is difficult to give up" couldn't help but slip out of their mouths.

The news spread quickly, but when the scholars revisited the place the next day, they found that the hut was still there, but the people inside were faint and could no longer be seen.

I thought it was just a temporary outing, so I was reluctant to do it, but after observing it for several days, I didn't find it, so they gave up:

The girl who looked like a picture was indeed gone, and at the same time there was the scholar who had been reading poetry and books.

I heard that the two were brother and sister, and I heard that they moved out of the city and lived together for a short time...... The prosperity of Yangzhou City seems to have reached a peak, and thousands of scholars flock from all over the world, which directly leads to all the inns and restaurants in the city being full and overcrowded. It's not easy to find a place to live.

It's so lively.

The impact of the talent contest is far greater than estimated. The Yangzhou government seemed to be caught off guard, and they reacted quickly, writing to the court on the one hand, and sending additional manpower on the other hand, to be responsible for public order. Fortunately, the people who poured in were basically literati, who knew books and etiquette, and were easy to manage.

Of course, there are also many people in the rivers and lakes who take advantage of the situation, especially petty theft and the like, who want to take advantage of the excitement to make a fortune.

These people have a headache.

The officers and men, the government officials, Ding Yong, and the people who can be transferred have basically been drawn over, and they are divided into different regions, each is responsible, and the examination of suspicious people has been intensified, so as to ensure that there is no chaos.

You must know that this talent competition is not just of a private nature - since the emperor Lao Tzu opened the golden mouth and asked for a plaque, everything has become different. In case of making a winter melon and tofu, upload it to the heavens, the crime can be light or serious. But if it disturbs the emperor's interest, even if it is light, it will be unsafe.

In this regard, Yangzhou Zhizhou knows well.

The official start of the competition is getting closer and closer, all parties are basically in place, and the main candidates have been properly arranged. The venue, the charter, etc. have basically been figured out, but there are still some details, which need to be consulted by the organizers, various judges, and the students and politicians of various states before they are finally finalized.

There are many things to do, but they are all a matter of time, and there are no serious differences.

It's just that these have nothing to do with Ye Junsheng, as a candidate, just wait for the final rules and regulations to come out, and understand and interpret them. For others, participation is not included.

In front of the gray-haired older generation, all the talents belong to the rising stars, and they are not qualified enough, so they naturally do not have much weight to speak.

The clothing, food, housing and transportation of Yangzhou City, and the consumption level of major industries have risen. If it was said that Yangzhou was "not easy to live in" in the past, then it can be directly said that it is "difficult to live in" now.

Fortunately, the organizers set aside an area in Yangzhou Academy to build a slightly simpler house in advance, which is a school house for the participating talents, and generously provides free food.

That's a good job.

Since ending his semi-secluded life and returning from the suburbs, Ye Junsheng came directly to Yangzhou University to report - here, he met Gu Xuezheng, Li Yifeng, Huang Yuanqi and other "old acquaintances" who came from Jizhou. When you see each other, you will inevitably have a greeting and not mention it.

Then, Ye Junsheng naturally lived in a simple schoolhouse. Originally, his sister's arrangement was a little blocked, but with an idea, he directly asked Ye Junmei to change into men's clothes, tied up his long hair, and wore a little hat, as if he was a little scholar with red lips and white teeth.

It is normal for scholars to bring scholars, which is justifiable.

After changing into men's clothes, Ye Junmei was still a little unaccustomed at first, but when he looked in the mirror, he felt that it was not bad, quite clean and refreshing. Thinking of Sister Jing'er in the past, she often dressed up in men's clothes, and she was heroic, so she was even more happy.

Women dressed as men, in fact, such as Jiang Jing'er at that time, there were still too many flaws, after all, she was born as a beautiful girl, no matter what, the fat powder taste is always heavy. And Ye Junmei dressed up, tied his chest again, and figured out more, but he pretended to be better than her.

Although the school building is simple, it is separated from the inside, and there are two spaces, two brothers and sisters, just one person and one place, and they do not exceed each other's rules.

The place to live is solved, and the diet is not difficult at the same time. When it was time to eat, just take a sign and eat it in the college cafeteria.

In fact, in the current situation, there are more than 100 talents from all over the world who are qualified for the competition, and not many live in the academy. Among them, they often have relatives and friends in Yangzhou, and after they come, they often socialize and choose a better place to go, and do not want to move into the academy.

After settling down, Gu Xuezheng sent someone to send a message that he wanted to have dinner in the evening, which was a gathering of people on the other side of Jizhou, and the two elders Li Huang and several other talented people would all reach it. Among them, of course, is Guo Nanming. In addition, there are a few people who follow to watch the game, about a dozen people. Most of them are students in Guanchen Academy, and they are also fortunate to be invited.

This time, there was some surprise that Huang Chaozhi did not come, and only asked someone to bring a letter to Ye Junsheng, saying, "He has something to do at home temporarily, and he has no time to separate." I wish Ye Jun success in his life and a good performance in the competition.

He didn't come, but there was no one to talk to, and Liu Tianchen didn't get in touch at the moment, and he didn't come to the meeting either.

But there is no doubt that in the past few days, Liu Tianchen will definitely take the initiative to find the academy. After all, Jizhou fellow villagers, classmates and friends, etc., many acquaintances gathered together, and it was lively. People in a foreign land, even if they have friends, will be ostracized to some extent.

The venue for the banquet has already been set, although it is in demand, but what is Gu Xuezheng's identity, he is out of contact, and it is impossible for the place not to give face.

When he went to the banquet, Ye Junsheng also brought his sister, anyway, people who knew the inside story would not be able to gossip. As for throwing his sister down alone, Ye Junsheng can't do it, so he can't help it.

They are all fellow villagers, and they are naturally very lively. Among them, Gu Xuezheng and Li Huang Erlao, as well as Ye Junsheng and Guo Nanming, etc., were closer and ate at the same table.

The other one is open on the side.

During the banquet, it is indispensable to push the cup and change the lamp. But just when the atmosphere was harmonious, a great commotion suddenly broke out outside.

Something happened.
