In the inner city of Yangzhou, Beiguo, in a courtyard that covers a very large area, Gu Wendao stood with his hands in his hands, stunned, and did not know what he was thinking, and turned a deaf ear to the sound of children playing outside the wall, and the sound of firecrackers that sounded from time to time. The expression on his face changed from time to time, revealing subtle emotions.

"Childe, someone from the Simon family has come to look for you. ”

The servant's voice sounded, and finally pulled Gu Wendao's thoughts back.

He came back to his senses and said, "Please." ”

Not long after, a small servant of the Ximen family was brought in, it turned out to be an invitation, inviting Gu Wendao to go to Ximen's house at noon tomorrow to participate in the Spring Festival party.

After reading the invitation, Gu Wendao was in high spirits and ordered to see the reward. The little servant of the Simon family accepted a lot of money and thanked him for his resignation.

"The Spring Festival has finally arrived......"

Gu Wenwen groaned, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile like a spring breeze. At this moment, he is back with confidence.

He is very familiar with Yangzhou's New Year Cultural Meeting, and it can be said that he has been gearing up for a long time, just waiting for this invitation. It can be said that everything is under control. Invitations come sooner or later.

Without it, just because of the friendship with the second son of Ximen during the trip, this invitation would not have been able to run.

In fact, with the reputation of Gu Wendao, as long as the signboard is displayed, I don't know how many families in Yangzhou City will come to woo and promise generous conditions.

However, he asked who he was? He came to Yangzhou from Pingzhou and was very ambitious, and he came here for the talent competition. For this kind of literary meeting, it's just a game attitude. But even if it's a game, you won't be hasty and participate casually.

In a word, the Wenhui of non-wealthy families will never agree.

Among them, because of the second son of Ximen, the Ximen family is undoubtedly the best choice.

Now, the expected invitation has arrived.

Because of the talent competition, this year's New Year's Eve will be given a different color. To put it badly, many talented people are preparing for the competition, and may not come up with powerful works at the literary meeting, so as not to publish it prematurely and lose the qualification to compete in the competition; there are advantages and disadvantages, a large number of people who go to Yangzhou in advance to read from all over the country are like a new force, injecting a vigorous force, as long as they are attracted in, it will undoubtedly improve the quantity and quality of the works of the literary society.

There are also many people who will regard this New Year's party as a warm-up, such as the preliminaries, to compete in advance.

But how things end up depends on the specific situation tomorrow.

Regardless of other people, Gu Wendao really regarded Wenhui as a touchstone, and wanted to observe the performance of many talented people in Jiangnan.

Among them, his eyes are focused on the top five players who are ranked higher than him. Recently, I quietly sent my servants out to listen to and collect information.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning all battles, has always been the golden rule of soldiers, and it is also applicable in the literary world.

In fact, all affairs are going on in an orderly manner, and the only surprise should be the appearance of Ye Junsheng.

When asked about the customer who bought Ye Junsheng's three characters, it turned out to be the third lady of the Guo family, the fiancée of the second son of Ximen, Gu Wendao's spirit couldn't help but be in a trance, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

He thinks a lot, thinks too much.

In fact, in essence, buying and selling may be a very simple thing, that is, Miss Guo Jiasan unintentionally found Ye Junsheng's calligraphy in Weinongzhai, and felt that it was good, right, so she paid for it. A few hundred dollars, for a daughter like her, it is nothing but a dime.

Most likely, that's it.

It's just that Gu Wendao always can't help but think about it, thinking about things in a complicated way: How is Ye Junsheng's handwriting written, and can it be sold for so much money?

Who the hell is he?

Helplessly, the other party is from the distant Jizhou, and there is no way to find out the details.

It's not that Gu Wendao regards Ye Junsheng as a threatening opponent, but he faintly feels that something is wrong, and he is just a little depressed.

The New Year Poetry Meeting, this is a good opportunity to emerge, and you should perform well. Then conquer Yangzhou, start tomorrow!"

His eyes lit up with confidence, and he was full of spirit and fighting spirit.

......

"Jun Mei, tomorrow's Wenhui, let's go together. ”

At dinner, Ye Junsheng said.

Ye Junmei was slightly stunned and said, "Okay." After a pause, he suddenly said, "Brother, can you show me that painting of yours again?"

What she said was hidden in the space of the Xuanhuang stubborn stone seal of heaven and earth, the "Spirit Fox Picture", the "golden finger" that changed Ye Junsheng's fate. ”

A few days ago, in order to avoid danger, Ye Junsheng hid his sister in the treasure seal. To do so is to begin to confess your identity as a warlock. Because he felt that it was time for Ye Junmei to know something. There's no need to keep hiding, it's not good.

It was that time that Ye Junmei saw the "Spirit Fox Picture".

However, Ye Junsheng didn't know much about the specific process, and when he heard his sister's request at this moment, he didn't have it, his mind worked, and he took the painting scroll from the space and put it on the table.

Ye Junmei's expression was a little weird, he took it and opened it, and saw the scenery on the painting: the little white fox was sitting on the bluestone and studying hard, while there was a green-skinned old fox lying beside him, like a loyal guard, guarding the little white fox.

couldn't help but stretch out Ye Junmei to touch the fox image on the painting, as if he had touched the entity, and his inner emotions were fluffy.

Ye Junsheng noticed something unusual, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Junmei, what's wrong with you?"

The girl hurriedly controlled it and forced a smile: "It's nothing, I just think I like this painting very much...... But brother, at present, this painting is still the best for you to put it. I'm holding it, I'm afraid I'll lose it. ”

Ye Junsheng smiled dumbly, reached out and touched her head: "Silly girl...... But this painting is related to a secret, and before you figure it out, my brother is really not good to give it to you. ”

"Secrets?

Ye Junmei asked curiously.

Ye Junsheng smiled indifferently, thought about it, and finally talked about it, starting from the first time a delicacy appeared on the dinner table - of course, the biggest secret of the traverser could not be said even if he was killed.

This is the first time Ye Junmei knows the truth, or the truth is even more vivid and touching than the legendary stories in the books.

"It's a pity that until now, the fox fairy on the painting has never appeared, and it is a pity that I can't see it. ”

"Brother, maybe the fox fairy has already come out and has always been by your side?"

Ye Junsheng smiled dumbly: "How is that possible? If that's the case, how can I not find out the truth?"

Ye Jun's eyebrows were silent, and a sentence surged up his throat, but in the end, it was still swallowed back, and it became another sentence: "Brother, thank you." ”

"Well, why do you suddenly say thank you?"

"No, I just think I want to thank you......"

As he spoke, tears appeared in his eyes.

When Ye Junsheng saw it, he hurriedly said: "Silly girl, our brother and sister depend on each other, why should we be polite? And if you really want to investigate it, I should thank you." The former brother is in a mess, and it depends on you to eat and drink. Otherwise, I would have starved to death in the study. ”

Hearing this, Ye Junmei vaguely remembered many embarrassing things about his brother at that time, and couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Brother, you used to be really stupid." I remember one time, I brought you food to eat, you only cared about reading, completely forgot yourself, while eating, while watching, you actually used the ink as a sauce, stained the steamed buns black, and put them in your mouth to eat. When I went in to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, I saw that your mouth was full of ink and black...... One more time to go to the toilet ......"

As soon as she said it, countless profound memory fragments came flooding in like a movie.

Ye Junsheng listened to many "glorious deeds" in the past, it was absolutely ruined, no one could see it, the sky was pitiful, how could he not lay a thunderbolt and extinguish the book idiot...... He hurriedly raised his hand to make a surrender and begged for mercy: "Sister......

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Ye Junmei snorted and laughed. Fortunately, he finally stopped and stopped revealing his brother's scars.

Ye Junsheng smiled and said: "Maybe it's because my brother is too miserable that this fox fairy is moved by compassion and manifests himself to save me." ”

When it comes to the fox fairy, Ye Junmei is always a little embarrassed, holding his cheeks: "That maybe, or in the previous life, my brother did good deeds and accumulated virtues, and he was kind to the fox fairy, and she came to repay the favor now." ”

In all fairness, the girl's speculation is very reasonable.

Ye Junsheng looked at her in surprise and asked, "Sister, how do you know?"

Ye Junmei spit out his tongue: "Guess...... By the way, brother, I have sorted out the story of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" that you gave me, and I am ready to take it out to see if any bookstore is willing to print it. ”

Ye Junsheng said with a smile: "Sister, I shouldn't accept it over there, the story is too absurd, and it's a novel, which is out of place." ”

"Ah, what then?"

"Keep it and see it when you like. ”

Although she knew that what her brother said was true, the girl always felt unwilling: the story is wonderful, and if you like it when you read it, then others will definitely like it. Since it is a good thing, it is natural to take it out and share it with others. The most important thing is to let more people read my brother's works, which is also an achievement.

She decided to find an opportunity to find out if there were any other ways to publish the book.

"Well, brother, I want to see more of this painting, can I?"

"Of course...... But if anything goes wrong, don't be scared. "The Spirit Fox Diagram itself is very spiritual, not to mention a fox demon who ran in? Fortunately, there is no malice in these, and it should be fine.

Ye Junmei said happily: "I'm bold now, where would I be scared casually." And the fox fairy will not be scary. ”

Listening to her innocently, Ye Junsheng was full of black lines and went with her.
