Bai Shifeng and the others were very interested in the following journey, telling various rumors about the four friends in Jiangnan, which made Chen Yi understand a lot of their other side.

The four friends in Jiangnan each have their own achievements in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They are beyond the reach of this generation in Jiangnan. Although they live in seclusion in Meizhuang, they often attend various activities as literati and poets. Whenever they are there, they all become the focus of attention. They can be called the alternative "Four Talents of Jiangnan".

Before this, the impression that the four friends in Jiangnan gave Chen Yi was limited to being cleverly fooled by Linghu Chong, but they never thought about their glory in the literary world.

In the words of Bai Shifeng, in the Jiangnan generation, from high-ranking officials to peddlers and barbarians, they were well-known, and they attracted countless big girls and wives to admire them.

However, they are strictly people in the world and have no fame. But even so, their reputation is there, and no matter where they go, they will be regarded as guests of honor. If they can get a piece of paper and half of their ink, it will be enough to brag about the people around them for three days and three nights.

After hearing this, Chen Yixin said that this is right. This is in line with the image of a living person. Everyone has their own social and circles, and the meaning of existence is not limited to entrusting someone.

As we were talking and laughing, more than ten miles passed by, Yangzhou City was already in sight.

"Brother Chen, I've been away for many days and I think you should feel a different mood, right?" Bai Shifeng smiled from the side.

Thinking of telling them that they were from Yangzhou, Chen Yi followed the conversation and said, "It's okay, I'm really a little bit homesick."

Wang Jiang said, "Brother Chen, is your house really destroyed by the flood? Then are you homeless? Has that been said, we really never heard of a flood in spring, otherwise it would have spread."

Chen Yi was in a mood to strangle him to death, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "My family was in trouble. A small mountain torrent happened to come, so it was normal for you to fall into trouble."

"That's it," Wang Jiang nodded and suddenly said, it seemed that he really believed it...

Bai Shifeng smiled, but did not point out the lies that Chen Yi had loopholes, but instead changed the topic: "Since ancient times, Yangzhou City has been a famous city, and now it is one of the most prosperous cities in the country. In a few days, the Chinese Valentine's Day will be even more lively. At that time, both literati and poets and heroes from the world will come out one after another. After all, it is a good opportunity to become famous."

It’s easy to understand that literati and poets are coming out during the Chinese Valentine’s Day, but is this festival related to those who are in the world? Chen Yi didn’t understand and didn’t ask, what if those who are in the world like to join in the fun.

Yangzhou City is surrounded by a city wall that stretches to the end of its sight. The city wall is five meters tall. Chen Yi, who is used to seeing the building hundreds of meters high, had no special feeling when he saw the city wall except for its longness. If you insist on being elegant, you can clearly feel the profound and vicissitudes of history on that wall.

"This is an important cultural relic, but unfortunately it has become invisible in later generations..."

Chen Yi has no specific concept of how big Yangzhou City is, but he probably has a population of 340,000. There have been long queues at the city gate, and there are pedestrians and business trips, and there are endless peddlers and barracks.

I followed the team to approach the city gate, and there was a long queue of hundreds of meters ahead. It was useless to be anxious, so I could only approach the sun little by little.

However, at this time, Chen Yi's face changed slightly. He realized a very serious problem, that is, he did not have the identity household registration certificate of this era!

Anyway, he didn't remember hearing it somewhere. If there was no such thing in ancient times, if he left his hometown and went to a distance, he would probably be arrested as a refugee or even a criminal!

With a flash of thought, Chen Yi still said, "Well, Brother Bai, I don't know when my identity and household registration will be lost. I won't be troublesome when I enter the city later, right?"

Bai Shifeng was stunned and then said speechlessly: "Brother Chen, you are really. You can lose all important things, but you don't have to worry. There is no big problem. I'll solve it later. It's just a matter of spending some money. However, it's not OK to have a household registration. Take some time to tell me your information. How about I will help you? Although our Tiejianmen has declined, we still know some people, so it's not difficult to get a household registration."

"It's okay, let's talk about it when you have free time. Since Brother Bai said there is no problem now, there is no hurry," Chen Yi said with relief.

Now he hasn't figured out where to settle down. He has to make up for something, right? He is not familiar with the place names here and can't tell his basic information clearly?

We slowly moved along the crowd. By the time Chen Yi and the others arrived at the city gate, they had been exposed to the sun for more than half an hour.

The entry into the city was also very smooth. The soldiers guarding the gate had to interrogate Chen Yi and his family registration and Lu Yin according to the rules, but after Bai Shifeng quietly put a silver note on it, the other party smiled and waved his hand and let it go.

Seeing this, Chen Yi could only sigh that there has been no money to do since ancient times. If there is one, it means that you don’t have enough money...

After entering the city, Bai Shifeng pondered: "It's a bit strange. In the past, when I encountered such a difficult situation in the city, I could handle it at most three or five taels of silver. But today the gatekeeper actually asked me for fifty taels, and the other party also reminded me to be honest and not to make trouble during this period, it was really weird!"

"Is this happening? Could it be that some big shot came to Yangzhou City?" Chen Yi judged based on his own experience.

The situation encountered at the city gate can be considered a strict investigation? As far as Chen Yi knows, this situation will only happen unless some "big leader" comes.

"Who knows, forget it, don't think so much, we are not here to make trouble," Bai Shifeng thought about it and was not confused, and shook his head and said.

Next, Bai Shifeng led the way and headed straight to the restaurant they had placed under.

Walking on the streets of Yangzhou City, Chen Yi saw everything was fresh, just like a local bun in the city.

However, after a quick look, he felt a little disappointed. This Yangzhou City is known as one of the most prosperous cities in the world, but in his opinion, everything he saw has certain archaeological value, he really can't see how he can afford the word "prosperity".

Not to mention other things, just take the pedestrians on the street as an example. More than 80% of the people wear clothes with patches, and he didn't see many people who are actually wearing silk and satin.

Can this be called prosperity?

Oh, he realized that in ancient times, as long as everyone could eat enough, it could be called a prosperous era.

After thinking about this, Chen Yi had a clear understanding of the so-called prosperity in ancient times, so he was not too entangled.

Speaking of dressing, Chen Yi was disappointed again.

To be honest, he was really a little uncomfortable with the ancient aesthetics. Take those women on the street for example. After Chen Yi's observation, he found that all married women basically had a headscarf on their heads. Are they not afraid of heat when they are hot? Also, women don't say that they have half of their breasts exposed, they seem to want to completely wrap their necks. The clothes are old-fashioned and have no aesthetic at all. Besides, those unmarried women, except for a few headscarfs, their hairstyles are basically the kind of foreheads that have their hair combed against their scalp!

Just like that, Chen Yi walked a few streets, but he didn't see a classical beauty he imagined.

In comparison, the Liushan Tea from Tiejianmen may be dressed relatively alternatively because of people in the world, but it is more in line with Chen Yi's aesthetics.

As for why he focused on observing women, could he still go to see men?
