Bai Ruozhu asked Jian Qi to send someone to protect Wu Ying secretly, and then went to the restaurant with everyone. As soon as everyone ordered the food and drinks, Wu Ying came back with a happy face.

"Did you win?" Bai Ruozhu guessed it by looking at her expression.

Wu Ying hummed proudly, as if the Northwest Camp had agreed to the Xijiang Camp. Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You have lived up to your reputation as the female overlord of Beiyu City."

"Don't think that I can't hear that you are hurting me. It's so meaningless." Although Wu Ying said this, there was still a proud look on her face.

Everyone praised Wu Ying again. Who among them other than Jiang Yichun was the most powerful?

Bai Ruozhu was chatting with Wu Ying, and Dean Wen was also talking to Jiang Yichun, saying that after the competition, he planned to stay in Xuanlang City for a few days, accept banquets from the competition side, and then want to visit several cities in the south of the Yangtze River, and then slowly Slowly return the same way. Asked if this would delay Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu's time.

After hearing this, Jiang Yichun immediately agreed, saying that his family wanted to go out and wander around, and was not in a hurry to go back and recover.

Everyone nearby was very happy after hearing this. Most of them went to Jiangnan for the first time. The mountains and rivers here are picturesque, and the poetry and literature here are beautiful. What a pity it would be to leave without having a good experience? There may not be a chance to come back again in the future.

Bai Ruozhu had eaten half of his rice when Bai Qizhi suddenly appeared and said with a smile: "Miss Bai, I've been looking for you for a long time."

"Do you have a problem with me?" Bai Ruozhu looked at the gentle-looking Bai Qizhi in front of him. For some reason, he felt a natural affection for this girl.

"It's Gu Xu'an who wants to invite you to her house. She was supposed to come to see you, but unfortunately she has bad feet." Bai Qizhi said with a smile.

Bai Ruozhu had asked Jiang Yichun about the current situation before, and whether it was appropriate for him to associate with Gu Xu'an and the others. Jiang Yichun said that it was okay, and they could get closer, as the Gu family belonged to the emperor.

"Okay, I should be able to go there the day after tomorrow in the afternoon." Bai Ruozhu said.

"Then I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow." Bai Qizhi said happily

Bai Ruozhu smiled and nodded, "Okay."

After Bai Qizhi said goodbye to everyone, she politely greeted Dean Wen and Jiang Yichun, and then left gracefully.

"Mrs. Jiang, Miss Bai is your distant relative, right? She looks quite similar to you." Liu Jianzhou said carelessly.

Bai Zepei glanced at him. He was a relative of Bai Ruozhu, wasn't he a relative of him? Didn't he even say hello to Bai Qizhi before he saw her?

Bai Ruozhu smiled and shook his head, "No, Miss Bai's grandfather was the Minister of Etiquette in the capital. We just happened to be members of the same family."

Liu Jianzhou realized that he had made a mistake, so he laughed twice and stopped mentioning the matter.

After everyone ate, they returned to the competition venue happily. In the afternoon, it was time to announce the rankings of the eight academy palaces. Dean Wen said that he would wait for the academy to calculate the scores of each academy for ranking, but Bai Ruozhu himself had already figured out the rankings. After some calculation, she likes to settle accounts. Can she not calculate such scores and rankings in advance?

Beiyu Academy performed very well this year, but there is still a long way to go to get the first place. Tang Feng from Jiangnan Academy took several first places, and their other colleges also got more points, so the first place is not Jiangnan Academy. The palace belongs to no other. And Beishui Academy should be in second place. Although it didn't take first place, it was much better than the fourth place last year.

Soon the chief judge of this competition, Mr. Qiu, a great scholar from the Jiangnan area, came out, took the total scores and rankings of each academy in his hand, and then started reading.

The first place was indeed Jiangnan Academy, but the second place was beyond Bai Ruozhu's expectation. It was Chang'an Academy, and the third place was Beiyu Academy.

Dean Wen and the others were still very happy to hear this ranking because it was one place higher than last year. Bai Ruozhu quickly calculated in his mind the scoring situation of Chang'an Academy that he had learned in the past few days, and he was even more certain that there must be something wrong with the rankings in this competition.

She listened carefully and found that Beiyu Academy's score was basically correct, not even a few points lower. However, Chang'an Academy was four points higher than Beiyu Academy, and Bai Ruozhu's calculations would definitely calculate their scores. Taller!

Is this an oversight on the part of the competition, or was it done deliberately?

"It's a pity, I thought we were in second place." Mr. Zhang said with a sigh.

Bai Ruozhu opened her mouth, but finally closed it. It was not clear what was going on here. Now that she said it, people were talking too much. What if these young people from Beiyu Academy got excited and made trouble, causing Sai Fang to lose? The face is not good, and even their subsequent itinerary may be affected.

At this time, Mr. Qiu said that more works of the competition were on display at this time, and contestants were welcome to watch. After tomorrow, they will be open to the public for the public to watch. In addition, there will be a banquet at Liuxian Tower tomorrow at noon, and weapons will be awarded to the top three.

Next to him, the dean of Chang'an Academy laughed and smiled, dean Chao Wen handed over his hand and said: "Old Wen, congratulations on finally entering the top three this year. You must work harder next year."

He sounded like a big brother, almost saying "You are still behind us after all." Bai Ruozhu looked very unhappy. She wondered if Xiuquan knew about the wrong ranking. If there was any He was involved in the dirty tricks and came to ridicule Beiyu Academy like this. He was really a bad person.

Dean Wen was not angry, and said with a smile: "We still have to learn from Xuanlang Academy. Jiangnan is really full of outstanding people, and they are not arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat, unlike some people..."

He paused as he spoke, then smiled and led everyone away.

Walking to a place with few people, Bai Ruozhu thought for a while and said, "Ah Chun, ask Dean of Literature to come aside. I have something to tell you in private."

Jiang Yichun's expression changed. Bai Ruozhu didn't wait until he returned to his residence to talk about it. It must be a very important matter.

He went over and whispered a few words to Dean Wen. Dean Wen asked everyone to go see the posted works on their own first. Bai Ruozhu asked Wu Ying to look around and not run too far. Then she and Jiang Yichun took Dean Wen to Wuying. In the corner where there were people, secret guards were kept watching to prevent strangers from hearing their conversation.

"Dean Wen, will the points of the competition be announced in detail?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

Dean Wen is a smart man, and his expression immediately changed, "Do you think the points calculation was wrong?"

Bai Ruozhu nodded slightly, "I have a very good memory. I remember who among us got the ranking, and I also remember who from Chang'an Academy was in the top five. I calculated it in advance, and we should be second. But I also There may be something I missed, so I want to see the detailed points statistics list to confirm this matter."

Dean Wen's brows knitted together tightly, "Actually, I think he should be second."
