That night, Bai Ruozhu didn't go to have dinner with the people from the academy. She was really being tortured by someone and couldn't get up. But someone felt very refreshed, took the child out to eat, and brought her back some food.

For this reason, Bai Ruozhu felt sulky again. After eating, she tried to get up to find Wu Ying, but in the end she lost the strength and went to sleep feeling sore all over.

The competition early the next morning was for painting. Bai Ruozhu and his second brother did not participate. Neither of them seemed to have talent in painting.

In the end, the results of the competition came out, and Tang Feng took first place again. Even Bai Ruozhu was surprised by this result. She originally thought that the people from Jiangnan named Tang Feng the first of the four great talents, but it was more because of his appearance that he gained points. But looking at it this way, he is indeed much better than Lin Xufei, who is also one of the four great talents. He even won the competition in the Eight Academy Palaces repeatedly.

The dean of Jiangnan Academy was very proud, thinking that this time it must be Jiangnan Academy.

The second place went to someone from Chang'an Academy, and Yan Mingzhi, the most outstanding painter from Beiyu Academy, came in fourth, which was considered a good result. But when he heard that he didn't make it into the top three, he was still a little decadent. His husband also whispered some words of comfort when he saw it.

In the competition between the eight palaces, there are many talented people. It is really not easy to get the top three.

After the lunch break, everyone went to the restaurant again. In the afternoon, the most exciting part of the skill competition will come - the poetry competition.

This time in the restaurant, everyone still couldn't find a private room. They only sat around two tables in a corner of the hall, chatting and laughing. But Bai Ruozhu clearly felt that the attitude of the people next to them was different from before. She couldn't help but feel funny in her heart. Seeing those two hundred elite soldiers really scared the Jiangnan people.

Jiangnan favors culture, while northwest favors martial arts. Even though people in the south of the Yangtze secretly feel that the people in the northwest are rough and vulgar people, they are still very afraid of force.

This time no one came to cause trouble, but someone came to thank him.

"Miss Bai, this is Gu Huai, I am Gu Xu'an's eldest brother." The person who came was a handsome young man. After announcing his name, he bowed respectfully to Bai Ruozhu, "Thanks to Miss Bai's kindness and kindness that day, After I treated my little sister, I went back and listened to my little sister’s explanation of the cause and effect. I felt very sorry because I didn’t want to implicate Miss Bai by treating my little sister.”

Bai Ruozhu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the Gu family thought that Bai Ruozhu had offended Xu Panrui by helping Gu Xu'an, so she was framed by Xu Panrui and others yesterday, which almost tarnished her reputation.

"Mr. Gu is serious. This matter has nothing to do with Miss Gu. I have had conflicts with that person not once or twice. It was because she looked down on the people of the North too much. I retorted a few words, which led to the disaster. So, Please Miss Gu, please don't think too much, it's all over." Bai Ruozhu stood up and returned the greeting to Gu Huai, smiling.

Jiang Yichun looked at this man who suddenly appeared with a scrutinizing look on his face, as if anyone who came close to his wife was not a good person.

Gu Huai thanked him a few more times, then said goodbye and left. Everyone was curious and asked about Bai Ruozhu. She then said with a smile: "During the competition before, I went to the toilet, and I happened to bump into Xu Panrui and the others on the way. After hurting Miss Gu, I treated Miss Gu’s injury and notified the servants of the Gu family to take her home.”

After hearing this, everyone understood that Bai Ruozhu was also kind-hearted in saving people, but Xu Panrui and the others were too arrogant and domineering.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the poetry competition in the afternoon. There was no limit to the number of people in the poetry competition. Official contestants from each team could participate. However, the auditorium was already full, and there were even many onlookers standing behind it. This shows that Jiangnan people are very interested in the poetry competition. I love writing poetry.

Bai Ruozhu followed the people from Beiyu Academy to play, but the competition stipulated that they had to draw lots and then stand according to the numbers drawn. Soon everyone in the academy was disrupted and the situation of substitute examination was avoided.

In previous years, there have been powerful contestants who bribed other contestants to help him compose poems, thus achieving his own reputation.

Bai Ruozhu found his seat, and found that Lin Xufei was next to him. Since they were all acquaintances, the two of them saluted each other and chatted for a while.

"I heard that you helped Gu Xu'an?" Lin Xufei suddenly asked?

Bai Ruozhu was a little surprised. Could it be that Lin Xufei wanted to thank his fiancée on her behalf? Didn't Xu Panrui and the others say that Lin Xufei didn't like Gu Xu'an? Moreover, Gu Xuean did not refute at that time, and there was still a look of disappointment in her eyes, as if what Xu Panrui and the others said was true.

"I just looked at the sprain and gave him some medicine." Bai Ruozhu returned.

Lin Xufei smiled and whispered, "Thank you."

Hey, look at this posture, Lin Xufei doesn't dislike his fiancée? Bai Ruozhu thought of Gu Xu'an's appearance and couldn't help but say: "There are rumors outside that Mr. Lin doesn't like his fiancée. Miss Gu can only feel sad after hearing this. Is she afraid that she doesn't know that Mr. Lin cares about her so much?"

Bai Ruozhu said this with the intention of helping Gu Xuean and reminding Lin Xufei to protect his fiancée. Of course, he also meant to tease Lin Xufei, who had better skin than a woman.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xufei frowned slightly, with a look of helplessness on his face, "It's her fault."

After saying that, he turned his head and stopped talking, obviously not wanting to talk to Bai Ruozhu anymore.

Bai Ruozhu was stunned for a moment, what does this mean? She didn't think Lin Xufei had such a bad temper before, and with those words, he was really a little dissatisfied with Gu Xu'an.

At this time, the referee announced that the competition had begun, and she quickly retracted her thoughts. Even though she had many good poems in her head, if she couldn't concentrate, it would be useless if she couldn't think of the right ones.

"In the first round of chanting objects, the title is rivers. The top twenty people will advance to the second round!" the referee announced loudly.

Many people sighed, why is the first round this year so difficult? It is said to be a poem about chanting objects, but the "river" is majestic, and it must be necessary to support objects to express aspirations. It is not just as simple as chanting objects. If you don't do this well, you won't be able to advance to the next round.

As a result, many people began to think hard.

The referee puts the hourglass on. If the hand fails to turn in the paper before the hourglass ends, it will be considered a forfeit.

Bai Ruozhu's head turned quickly, Jiang He...

When she was almost done with her thoughts, she raised her pen and wrote on the paper: An old friend said goodbye to Liuxian Tower in the west, and I went to Yangzhou in the golden July month. The shadow of the solitary sail in the distance was gone in the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River could be seen flowing in the sky.

She changed Li Bai's poem. She remembered that there was no Yellow Crane Tower in the south of the Yangtze River at that time, but there was a good Liuxian Tower. Now it was July, so naturally she couldn't write "Fireworks in March". As for chanting the river, who made the rule? It must be ambitious, missing someone is also an emotion, and it just fits the title.

When the time came, everyone hung up the poems. In order to allow the audience to better appreciate the poems, the organizer arranged for people with good voices to read poems, and read the poems out loud one by one according to the numbers drawn. out.

Bai Ruozhu pricked up her ears specifically to listen to her second brother's poem. She should be able to advance to the next round, but it wasn't particularly outstanding. She looked at the second brother's face, but she couldn't see any emotion. It seemed that the second brother was hiding his strength?
