Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

After Ye Changyan's "White Snake", everyone in Yunfeng Tower became interested in talking and expressed their opinions.

People are mostly recalling how the meeting on the Broken Bridge made Bai Suzhen's heart move, and her test of Xu Xian made her value Xu Xian's handsome character even more. Bai Suzhen was like a fairy from heaven, which made Xu Xian's heart move and he fell into a beautiful dream for a while.

Li Yuanpu had made a very rich arrangement for the content of the literary gathering. After everyone had calmed down, everything proceeded in an orderly manner according to Li Yuanpu's arrangements.

During the poetry competition, everyone discussed poetry and songs, and appreciated classical literary works. Some talented people also shared their new works for everyone to appreciate.

If Ye Changyan had randomly copied one of the 300 ancient poems he had learned in his previous life, he would have been shocked on the spot, but he did not do so. Instead, he chose to appreciate it with everyone, often nodding in agreement and occasionally expressing his own unique insights, which won praise from everyone present.

During the political commentary session, all the scholars and students present were in high spirits and expressed their own opinions, sharing their insights on current political hot topics.

They talked about how to deal with the barbarians from the northern desert harassing the border this winter, how to control the trade routes of the Western Qiang tribes, the corrupt officials whose property was confiscated this year, how to supervise river engineering and water conservancy, the disasters left over from the previous dynasty, and the signs of aristocratic enclosure appearing in the Great Sheng Dynasty...

For Ye Changyan, a newcomer who had just arrived in this world, he knew nothing about this world, so he had almost no say in this environment. He chose to listen silently, and when he heard something exciting, he subconsciously applauded, which drew applause from the audience.

After participating in each session, Ye Changyan gained a lot. Time passed quickly and the clepsydra water clock beside the stage was about to fill up with the scale for the afternoon.

The literary gathering was coming to an end, and the scholars and students began to leave one after another.

"Master Ye, although you and I were provoked by a villain, we still know each other. Now all the students in Wanshou County know that you and I are half-time master and disciple. If you come to Yuzhou Prefecture someday, I will host you and will definitely treat you well."

"Sir, please don't take it seriously. You and I met through storytelling, which is a true friendship through literature. This half-way master-disciple relationship is just a joke, sir, don't take it seriously."

"Hahaha...Mr. Ye is really frank. I'm determined to make you my friend!"

The two exchanged pleasantries again before going their separate ways.

After Ye Changyan said goodbye to Mr. Hao, he went to say a few simple goodbyes to some people he had met that day. Seeing that it was getting late, he prepared to go home.

"Master Ye, please stay!"

Just as Ye Changyan stepped out of the gate of Yunfeng Tower, he was stopped by someone behind him. He turned around and saw that it was today's host Li Yuanpu.

"Mr. Li, thank you for your hospitality."

Ye Changyan expressed his gratitude politely. He had originally planned to say goodbye to Li Yuanpu in person, but seeing that the other party was always busy with social engagements and he was not too familiar with him, plus it was getting late and he still had to walk back to Shanglin Village, and he was afraid that night would not be far away, so he did not wait for him any longer and just waited for more time.

"Mr. Ye, I apologize for the poor hospitality."

Li Yuanpu was very polite because he had seen Ye Changyan looking in his direction for a long time before, but he was busy with social engagements and couldn't get away. But in the blink of an eye, he saw that the other party had left, so he hurriedly chased after him and called out to him.

"Master Ye, please don't be anxious. I have a distinguished guest to introduce to you. Please follow me."

As he said that, he smiled at Ye Changyan. Ye Changyan glanced around and found that in the Yunfeng Building, which was originally crowded with people, only the waiters were left busy cleaning.

Ye Changyan was not shy. He smiled back at Li Yuanpu and gestured for him to lead the way.

Li Yuanpu led Ye Changyan to the second floor, and then went straight to the private room in the middle of the second floor.

With a creaky sound, Li Yuanpu pushed open the door of the private room.

Ye Changyan followed him into the room and saw that there was a different world inside the private room. The decoration of Yunfeng Building was already magnificent, and this private room could only be described as extremely luxurious. Whether it was the furniture or the furnishings, everything demonstrated the luxury of this private room.

Ye Changyan followed Li Yuanpu into the private room, where they saw an octagonal table in the middle of the room. Li Yuanlin, Bai Jun, Zhong Yunfeng and Wu Jiaxing were sitting around the table.

Ye Changyan had met the man sitting at the upper seat before. He was the nobleman who had gotten off the carriage outside Yunfeng Tower earlier. Standing not far behind the nobleman was the attendant who had traveled with him.

Seeing Li Yuanpu leading Ye Changyan in, everyone, including the nobleman, stood up to welcome them.

Ye Changyan took a quick look and found that except for Zhong Yunfeng, the second in command of Yunfeng Tower, and the nobleman, the others were all new scholars in Wanshou County, including himself, but Song Ruliang was missing.

It seems that the people present are either rich or noble in Wanshou County. Ye Changyan was confused for a moment why he was invited to join such a private gathering.

"Brother Ye, this is wonderful!"

Ye Changyan didn't have time to think about it before he heard Wu Jiaxing, Bai Jun and Li Yuanlin greet him all at the same time, while Zhong Yunfeng hurriedly stood up and pulled out a chair beside the table.

The nobleman sitting at the upper seat was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Come, come, come, Mr. Ye, please come this way."

Li Yuanpu, with a smile on his face, led Ye Changyan to the Eight Immortals Table.

"Mr. Ye must know these people, right?"

Li Yuanpu stretched out his hand and gestured to the people except the noble young master. Seeing Ye Changyan nod with a smile, he stopped talking. Li Yuanpu solemnly pointed to Ye Changyan next to him while sitting at the upper seat.

"Ye Changyan, Mr. Ye, the leader of the new scholars in Wanshou County."

Ye Changyan looked at the other person quietly, and saw that this noble young man had a face as white as jade, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. His pupils were dark and deep, and there was a mole faintly visible on the tip of his nose. He was estimated to be over 1.8 meters tall, and was handsome and tall, with an excellent appearance.

"This is Liang Jingcheng, Master Liang. Master Liang is Master Cai's last disciple. Recently, Master Cai traveled to Wanshou County, and I was fortunate enough to invite Master Cai's best disciple."

"Mr. Liang."

Liang Jingcheng, what a good name! Ye Changyan withdrew his gaze and bowed politely to the other party.

"Mr. Ye, what a talent!"

The other person had a smile on his face and extended his hand to return the greeting to Ye Changyan.

Ye Changyan was searching through his original body's memories, but he had no impression of Liang Jingcheng at all. Li Yuanpu introduced the other teacher as Mr. Cai, but he searched through his original body's memories but could not find a single word about Mr. Cai.

But seeing that Li Yuanpu was very respectful when he mentioned Mr. Cai before, it must be that Mr. Cai must be of great background. Then what is the background of Liang Jingcheng?
