Nujiang County is very lively. Walking on the street, Yunjing can clearly feel the joyful atmosphere like a festival.

In fact, the current situation is no different from a festival, no, it is more joyful than a festival, because the battle between the four great talents of the Dali Dynasty has reached a relatively critical point.

Scholars competed for the title of the Four Great Talents, and the competition from town, county, county, state, and finally to the capital has now reached the stage of competition for a county.

This topic is being talked about everywhere. A certain scholar has shown outstanding talents since he was a child. A certain scholar is over 20 years old and has an extraordinary appearance. A certain scholar is a master of poetry. A certain young man is better than his peers in chess.

The unmarried young ladies, the wealthy ladies who usually stay close to home, and the Jianghu heroines who have no sweethearts are all now wearing the most beautiful clothes and strolling on the street, looking at the passers-by, hoping to meet someone with outstanding talents.

of the right person.

If a scholar can stand out in the competition between the four great talents, he will be the focus of the girls' affectionate gaze as soon as he appears.

The young ladies in the brothel are looking forward to it, hoping that a young man with rich knowledge will come to patronize them. They can do whatever they want. If a well-known young man comes to patronize them, it will be a reputation if they have a name.

Just got up.

The county governor is handling this matter personally, as well as the retired ministers and the head of the largest academy in the county. They have taken this matter as a political achievement. If a talented person from the county can win one of the four talents,

The laurel crown refers to political achievements and qualifications.

Of course, that kind of good thing is just a thought. The talents cultivated by Dali Four University Palace are not decorations, but it is not illegal to think about it.

For people in Nujiang County, who can qualify to compete in the state capital? For this reason, major casinos have opened handicaps, and there are many bettors, betting on the talents they are optimistic about.

In this prosperous age, it can be said that the whole nation is carnival. Even if you are not in the same league as ordinary people, you can still be considered a participant. Taking this opportunity to sell more things can still be considered a participant.

"I heard that a talent that the county governor is very optimistic about is in Xiayang Tower. Everyone, go quickly. If he becomes one of the four great talents in the future, you won't have the chance to see him easily. Now go and pay homage to Zhan Zhancai."

"Let's go, let's go faster. If you go slowly, people will leave."

"Shusheng Zhang has been staying at Wangtao Pavilion by the Nu River for many days. He seems to be brewing a masterpiece. Do you want to witness the birth of a poem with your own eyes?"

"Of course I'm interested. Let's go quickly. If we go late, others may have already made it."

"Ah, look, everyone, that's Master Lin. He's so handsome. My heart is beating so fast. I can't, I'm going to faint. It would be great if I could marry him. My family can provide a dowry of thirty thousand taels."

"Get away, Xiaolang, Mr. Lin is mine..."

Yunjing wandered on the street for a while, and there were many similar situations everywhere he passed. He didn't think it was an exaggeration. Thinking of the crazy star-chasing fans in his previous life, this was just childish.

In fact, if you think about this kind of thing, you will know that there must be someone behind it. Whether you can get a good ranking depends on your own knowledge, but it does not prevent some people from taking this opportunity to become famous.

Once a person becomes famous, the implicit and explicit benefits can be said to be immense.

Not to mention anything else, as soon as the reputation is spread, a large number of young ladies will come over to you...

Probably because of the benefits of this event, the sanitary conditions in Nujiang County are extremely good. The sewage, feces, rotten vegetables and leaves that are usually everywhere are gone. Of course, this is only limited to the lively main streets and some remote places.

The situation is still unsatisfactory.

In this era, let alone counties and cities, even in places like the capital, the normal health conditions in most areas are unsatisfactory. The vast majority of people are still struggling to have enough food and clothing. Who cares about such issues as health?

Environmental sanitation is not to be praised, and personal hygiene is nothing to praise. In today's era, more than 80% of people have parasites such as lice on their bodies. It will not last long if a set of clothes is not washed for ten and a half months.

Parasites are weird.

Is it because people don’t pay attention to hygiene? Of course not, but many people don’t have any clothes to change at all.

Therefore, there are always only a few bright and beautiful people. There are many pedestrians on the road whose clothes are almost torn into strips of cloth and are reluctant to throw them away. Yunjing even saw a beggar with mushrooms growing on his body.

Those are real mushrooms. They have grown out of being exposed to the wind and sun all day long. You can only imagine how long it has been since the other party washed their hands...

Yun Jing has always had little interest in grand events like the Contest of the Four Talents and hasn't paid much attention to it, but that doesn't stop him from being happy to see the festive and cheerful atmosphere at the moment.

"Tomorrow there will be a competition for the top five talents in the largest academy in the county. I don't know who will eventually become one of the five to represent our Nujiang County to the state capital."

"I really want to go and see it on site, but unfortunately I don't have enough qualifications, so the quota for on-site observation has been sold out to the point where we can't pay the price."

"Whatever, we'll know the result tomorrow anyway."

"Speaking of which, there will be a lot of pretty girls around the academy tomorrow, and maybe there will be a fight for the winning talent. It happens every time the four talented people compete. It's going to be a good show."

"Hey, it's best for the little ladies to tear each other's clothes when the time comes."

"Don't tell me, I'm looking forward to it too..."

When passing by a teahouse, Yun heard people talking about this topic. He didn't stop, but he was thinking about it, should he go outside that academy tomorrow?

The little ladies are tearing off their clothes. I’m not tired of this. I’m just watching the fun, just having fun...

I walked and stopped all the way, with no purpose in the cloud scenery. I just relied on my feelings. As I walked, I came to a relatively quiet street, surrounded by shops such as teahouses, Buzhuang Bookstores, and cultural and art stores.

Jingle bell bell~!

An inaudible ringing sound came from somewhere and was caught by the cloud scene, and a smile subconsciously appeared on his face.

Walking in the direction of the ringtone, in an inconspicuous corner of the street, a two-story small attic appeared in Yunjing's sight.

‘Yunbai Xiaoxiu’

There is a wooden plaque engraved with these four characters hanging on the door of the attic. The word "Yunbai" takes up three-quarters of the position in the middle, and the word "Xiaoxiu" is in the lower left corner, only the size of a fist.

The font is neat and neat, without any fancy calligraphy. It is obviously written by an old-fashioned scholar.

The area around the small attic was very clean, and there were some flowers and plants planted in front of the door. It was obvious that the owner of the attic was a kind-hearted person.

The first floor is the storefront, which mainly sells exquisite embroidery, but also sells some fan paintings and calligraphy and paper umbrellas.

Business didn't seem to be very good. Not a single customer was seen in broad daylight, nor was the owner of the shop. It was obvious that he was doing business casually.

This is it.

Yun Jing looked at it for a while and understood.

As he was about to approach the store, he was stopped by a tea patron from a teahouse across the street behind him. Someone said, "Young Master, please stay."

Hearing this, Yunjing stopped and turned around to see that the person speaking was a young man in his early twenties, dressed like a man in the world, with a chic attitude.

"What advice does this brother have?" Yunjing saluted and asked curiously.

The other party cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I don't take it as advice, but I just want to remind you that the shop opposite has an unwritten rule, that is, it does not accept male customers, so you'd better not bring trouble to yourself, so as not to affect your good mood.

"

Don't accept men?

Yunjing pondered slightly when he heard this. This kind of thing was beyond his expectation.

Seeing Yun Jing's confused look, the person who spoke suddenly smiled and said, "I guess this young master is not a local, right? I don't know this rule is normal. Did you also hear that the proprietress of Yun Bai Xiao Xiu's shop made a special trip here?

"

"That's right," Yun Jing said with a blink.

The other party looked like he had found a soulmate, and suddenly said with great interest: "In that case, sir, can you please come over and have a cup of tea with us? You can see that you are a scholar, and you won't be as unkind to me and other people in the world as others, right?"

"What Xiongtai said is that a chance encounter is fate. Why not wait to see him?" Yun Jing shook his head and said.

The other party immediately stood up and invited him: "That's a good relationship. Sir, please come over and talk about it." After saying that, he shouted to the store: "Waiter, bring another pot of tea and two plates of snacks."

The people were so enthusiastic, and Yunjing was not someone who didn't know how to appreciate someone, so he moved over, since the other party wouldn't run away anyway, so there was no shortage of time.

The two parties sat down, and the man smiled and said: "Now, Zheng Xilin, I will give you a compliment. I am extremely honored. May I ask your surname?"

"If you don't want to take it seriously, I won't give you the surname Yun, and just give it the character Jing," Yun Jing said modestly.

Zheng Xilin said: "How many years older than you are I, do you mind if I call you Brother Yun?"

"No problem"

"Where did Brother Yun hear about the proprietress Yun Bai Xiaoxiu opposite us?" Zheng Xilin asked curiously, changing the subject.

Yun Jing said with a strange look on his face: "From what Brother Zheng said, is the lady boss of Baiyun Xiaoxiu very famous? To be honest, I just came here by chance and saw that the shop was quite quiet and very different from the surrounding ones. I was curious.

I’m going to go in and have a look.”

He came here based on his feelings, and his words were not a lie.

Zheng Xilin looked like you are obviously fooling me, I understand, and winked: "Brother Yun, don't be embarrassed, I understand, it's not a shameful thing to come here because of your reputation."

"I really didn't mean what you said." Yunjing couldn't laugh or cry.

Waving his hand, Zheng Xilin said: "Okay, this is boring. What about Yunbai Xiaoxiu's boss lady? It's not a question of whether she's famous or not, but the kind of person who can't be forgotten after seeing her.

,Brother Nuo, Yun, you see, most of the people in this teahouse are here because of her, just to have the honor to see each other. Unfortunately, the other party does not easily step out of the door of the shop. It is too difficult to meet. Many people are here

I've been here for several days but still can't get what I want."

"Is it that special?" Yun Jing asked dumbly.

Taking a sip of tea, Zheng Xilin said: "It all depends on how a person feels after meeting the other person. How should I put it? I was lucky enough to meet the other person a few days ago. The other person is extremely beautiful, but that is not the point.

The point is, there is something about her that most men would yearn for. Personally, it is a feeling of peace of mind, stability, stability, and I calm down subconsciously. Such a woman is very suitable for life, and I will never find one again.

I can’t think of anything more suitable, this is probably what I feel.”

"Well, what about that? Brother Zheng, don't mind if I say this. I'm a nice person, but so many people come here just to see me. Isn't it bad? After all, I'm a girl. It's a bit offensive for everyone to do this.

, do you think this is true?" Yun Jing pondered slightly.

Nodding, Zheng Xilin said: "Of course we understand this truth. They have nothing to do with the world, and we have no intention of disturbing them."

"I always feel like it's boring and a bit speechless for everyone to be like this," Yun Jing thought for a moment and said.
