In the spring of the third year of Yonghui, it rained in Yunzhou for a whole month.
The bluestone road was slippery due to soaking, and the alley was filled with the smell of pear blossoms and humidity. Just this spring, four strange things were reported in Yunzhou City.
The first one, Yun Jinshu, the eldest lady of the Yun Family Embroidery Workshop, embroidered a piece of "Hundred Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix". On the day he was sent to the palace, the queen glanced at him from a distance of three feet and burst into tears on the spot. No one knew why she cried. All they knew was that the painting was burned that night, and even the ashes were scraped clean, as if it had never existed.
Secondly, a sixteen-year-old girl named Yun Qingyan came to the prefecture's Yamen and wanted to apply for a job. The old man laughed while stroking his beard, until she found the only evidence of the tragedy from a skeleton that had been buried for three years with only half a stick of incense. Later, all the dead people in Yunzhou lined up to wait for her examination.
The third thing is that Yun Qingxian, the third girl of Qingyun Literary Society, wrote "On Women". Half of the scholars in Yunzhou gathered at the entrance of the literary club and scolded her until their mouths went dry. They scolded her for three days and three nights. In the end, they discovered that the more fiercely they scolded, the further the article spread. Even in the deep palaces of the capital, people were secretly copying it.
The fourth thing is that Yun Jinci, the youngest girl of the Yun family, flipped the abacus beads and calculated the bottom of the Yunzhou granary. The profiteers hoarded the goods, and she devised a series of schemes to keep the people of Yunzhou from going hungry. That day, every household offered her longevity tablet at home.
Four strange things, four girls.
The four girls stood at the door of the old house, not knowing that this spring would change their lives and the fate of the entire dynasty.
