"There are many people participating in the Wanhualou Poetry Festival this year. We have participated for two consecutive years. If we don't choose the title of the Four Great Talents of Xiliang this year, I'm afraid there will be no hope in the future."
"Brother, why are you so decadent? Even if you can't get selected, just keep working hard next year."
In front of Xiao Zhuyue were two young men who looked like they were in their early twenties, which aroused Xiao Zhuyue's interest.
He asked curiously, "Brothers, I would like to ask, is this Wanhua Tower not a place of fireworks? Why does it attract the admiration of so many talented people and beauties?" How much ecstasy has Qin Le poured into these people to make these talents work for their own sake? The land of fireworks begins to linger.
The man turned back with a wry smile and said, "Girl, I take it you are a foreigner, right? You don't know something about this. The county governor has done so many good things for everyone over the years. The girl can see that Xiliang was just a border town. It has been less than a year since the Lord came, and the prosperity is clearly visible to our eyes.”
Xiao Zhuyue was surprised that a mere Xiliang County Sheriff was slightly better than her, the empress, in the hearts of the people.
A long line of people lined up in front of Xiao Zhuyue. The attendant smiled at her, but the words he spoke seemed impersonal.
"Miss, the registration fee is one tael per person. I wonder if you will participate together today or separately?"
Xiao Zhuyue almost choked on her own saliva. Under her Emperor's Imperial City, the so-called fireworks place only cost one tael at most, and the registration fee for this was only one tael.
Moreover, there are people queuing up everywhere.
Huan'er carefully observed Xiao Zhuyue's face, lowered her head and said, "Miss, do we want to go in?"
"Come in, it's here."
After Huan'er paid the money, she felt quite painful.
I originally thought Xiliang was a barbarian land, but after coming here, I felt like I was in the imperial city, no worse than the imperial city.
After entering the Wanhua Building, Xiao Zhuyue and Zhang Shiming walked up the stairs to the second floor. Upon closer inspection, they found that the internal structure was not very similar to that of an ordinary fireworks place. There was a spiral staircase on both sides of the hall leading to the second floor. The stairs are made of stone and are solid and can accommodate several people passing through without any swaying.
There are many people on the second floor. Visitors are not allowed on the first floor. Only the attendants of Wanhua Tower can stand on the high platform.
Xiao Zhuyue was taken to a private room by the attendant. This tael of silver was the cost of the private room for everyone. Each private room was served by a separate attendant. Only when the referee arrived could he go to the first floor to read the poems.
"Everyone, please take a seat! Milk tea and snacks will be prepared for our guests later, please wait a moment."
After the attendant left, Huan'er chirped and said in surprise, "Miss, the people here are so welcoming. They are good-looking and the service is good. And I have never seen the structure here before."
The hall is as high as four floors, and there are many shining lights in the middle of each floor. Even at night, it doesn't feel very dark here.
On the contrary, the lively atmosphere shocked everyone.
Xiao Zhuyue raised her head and scanned everyone's private rooms. After paying, everyone had a separate private room. It was money well spent.
After a while, two attendants came up with a basin of melon seeds, snacks and drinks I had never seen before.
As soon as they entered the private room, the sweet and crispy smell almost made everyone salivate.
Xiao Zhuyue couldn't help but look over. The attendant brought four cups of milky-yellow liquid. She didn't know what it was. It smelled of fragrant milk, sweet but not greasy.
"Guys, you can try our Wanhualou's special milk tea, taro milk tea. If you need ice, please tell me. Also, these are octopus balls and sizzling tofu. You can try them."
Zhang Shiming curiously asked the attendant, "Is this your Xiliang specialty?"
"No, no, no, this is a snack made by our Lord Sheriff, who also owns Wanhualou. It is a relatively popular snack. You can try it first! The Poetry Conference will start later. You can take a seat on the first floor. .”
After the attendant left, Xiao Zhuyue took a taste without hesitation without Huan'er's poison test.
Covered with the flavor of chives, it melts in your mouth and has a spicy taste. Xiao Zhuyue couldn't help but laugh at the spicy taste.
Seeing how spicy she was, Huan'er handed over the milk tea.
"Miss, please try this milk tea."
As the lanterns were rising, Qin Le took a few minions, dressed up in disguise, and came to Wanhua Tower.
The scene was busy with traffic and crowded, and it was very lively. Seeing how lively the Wanhua Building he founded was, Qin Le couldn't help but curl up his lips.
"Sir, today there are many talented people and beautiful ladies coming and going, it's definitely lively. We can also see the world, don't you think so?"
Qin Le clicked his tongue and looked at the long queue at the door. Although it was lively, he might not meet the talented person he admired tonight.
The poetry competition in the hall is beginning. First, the referee takes the lead in saying a sentence, and the people behind can come forward and write their own couplets on the paper.
Xiao Zhuyue found it very interesting, "The people here are beyond my imagination. The style of talented scholars, beauties and literati is very impressive. Zhang Shiming, how about you come and give it a try?"
