After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

As a result, you could see elderly men and women, well past fifty, sitting at street corners asking people for words from storybooks, which indirectly promoted a literacy trend.

Although the scene is a bit eerie.

In particular, the words spoken by the Four Young Masters of the Imperial City have become "popular" in Bianjing today!

For example, "If apologies were effective, what would be the point of having a government office?" and Dongfang Shu's comforting words to Wu Qingming, "Whenever you feel like crying, do a handstand so the tears won't fall."

These linguistic techniques are becoming incredibly popular among women, almost to the point of being household names.

The Four Young Masters of the Imperial City have become household names, especially among the women of Bianjing. If the previous novel, "The Overbearing Prince Falls in Love with His Little Maid," was only widely known among the daughters of high-ranking families in Bianjing.

So this "Starfall Rain" really reached the point where everyone from three-year-old children to fifty- or sixty-year-old elders knew it, considering that the average lifespan of people in ancient times was only about thirty-three years.

Besides the popularity of tea culture and storytelling, Zhiyu Bookstore has also become a huge hit, packed with people every day.

Occasionally, you can hear people arguing in some alleys about which of the Four Young Masters of the Imperial City is the most handsome.

In a small alley, a man in a blue shirt watched his neighbor rush out with his wife and children, almost forgetting to lock the door properly. If the man hadn't reminded him, the neighbor's house might have been burgled when he returned.

"Wang An, what's gotten into you so urgently?" The man in blue had never seen Wang An in such a hurry before, especially with his wife and children. He thought something serious had happened!

"Today is the time for Mr. Wu to tell stories, that's why I rushed out, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get a good seat!"

"Mr. Wu? Who is he?" the man in blue asked curiously.

"Oh dear, Lu Shan, don't you know this Mr. Wu? He's extremely famous; his name is known throughout the martial arts world. He's the number one storyteller in Tianke!"

Under his eloquent and vivid storytelling, all the characters seem to come alive; one person, with just a few words, can portray a vast army.

He recently said the story of "Starfall Rain" was incredibly captivating, and my wife, after hearing it last time, has been nagging me to hear it again.

"Is it really that powerful?"

"Hurry up, or it will be too late." The woman urged her husband, who had no choice but to tell Lu Shan and leave with his wife and children.

Lu Shan's interest was piqued, and since he had nothing else to do, he figured he might as well listen in. So he followed the man who had brought his wife and children to Chayunhe.

The same thing happened outside the Tianxia Teahouse on the other side.

A man was about to enter the Tianxia Teahouse to listen to storytelling, as usual, when he was suddenly stopped by a friend he knew.

"Oh, you're going to the Tianxia Teahouse to listen to storytelling?"

"Yeah, wanna join us?" He and this friend often listened to audiobooks together, so he naturally invited him to join, but he noticed that his friend had just walked in the opposite direction.

"No, no, the storytelling in teahouses these days is all so outdated and boring. I'll go listen to Chayun now. Goodbye."

"Hey!" The man saw his friend's hurried steps and tried to call out to him, but his friend showed no sign of stopping.

"Tea Charm? Where is that? And the stories of teahouses around the world aren't as outdated as you make them out to be!"

A passerby suddenly said to him, "Brother! Who still goes to the Tianxia Teahouse to listen to storytelling these days?!" After making this sarcastic remark, the stranger ran off in a flash, but the reason he ran so fast was to grab a good spot.

The man was furious. "How dare you speak like that! Teahouses are where the most popular storytelling is performed!" The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he decided to go and see what this tea ceremony was all about!

Not only men, but women also bring their close friends to listen to storytelling.

A woman who had never read storybooks before fell in love with the Four Young Masters of the Imperial City after listening to their stories, lamenting that she could never meet such men in real life.

The few matches that followed Wu Hualing were played every single day.

"The Four Young Masters of the Imperial City are so handsome! I wish I were Wu Qingzi! Why is Wu Qingzi so lucky?"

"Don't think like that. Wu Qingzi is outstanding. She is no worse than these men. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been admitted to the Imperial Academy."

"Exactly! Sister, if you ask me, the Four Young Masters of the Imperial City are very handsome, but Wu Qingzi is just as good. I want to learn from Wu Qingzi in the future—to be fearless of power and to be positive and ambitious! I really hope that she can fulfill her ambitions and become a good female official who serves the country and its people!"

Such conversations are frequent, but most people just laugh it off.

Bai Zunxing later learned that Ling Luo had gone to listen to the story alone and complained that she hadn't told her sooner.

As loyal fans of Mr. Wuming, how could Bai Zunxing and her close friends not support him? Although they bought the book and read it, the feeling of reading a book is different from listening to it.

I've read the book several times already, so why not listen to it again?

Moreover, they were eager to know what kind of expressions these people would have if they found out what the final outcome would be; it would definitely be very interesting!

So they and a group of sisters booked the largest private room, silently supporting Mr. Wuming's storytelling.

Meanwhile, Tianxia Chayun noticed that fewer and fewer people were coming to the teahouse recently. This couldn't go on, so Manager Ma sent his waiter to find out what was going on.

Only after inquiring did he learn that it was the tea shop, Chayunhe, that had been their rival in the east of the city, that was behind this.

Manager Ma was very surprised. He thought Cha Yun He had gone out of business, but he didn't expect it to still be around.

I don't know where they found this storyteller. All the storytellers in Bianjing are now at their Tianxia Teahouse, so it seems they must have found this storyteller from somewhere else.

But to Manager Ma's utter surprise, the storybook they told at their teahouse became unexpectedly popular, with many people coming specifically for the story.

I heard that this story is different from the stories of today, and it is especially popular with women. The teahouse is packed every day, and some people who can't get in will even stand outside to listen.

Manager Ma had no idea where this suddenly appearing notebook came from. He asked the waiter to inquire about it, and when he returned to report, he found the waiter stammering. He didn't have much patience.

After all, the teahouse's profits haven't been good this month. If things continue like this for a while, the real manager will replace him!

"Say it!"

"It's the storybook from that girl last time. She really is the bookstore owner. Her bookstore started some kind of magazine, and a lot of people read it! It's because of the storybook from her bookstore that she stole our business!" The waiter gritted his teeth and said it anyway, but at the same time he was observing Manager Ma's expression.

"What?!" Manager Ma almost cried out, immediately regretting his actions!

If Ye Yuwu were here, she would definitely think: That was really close, he almost made a profit!
