Chapter 842 Agree to participate

The woman who had previously ridiculed Bai Ruozhu and the two of them sneered and said, "Gu Xu'an, stop putting on that high airs of yours. It's no wonder that Lin Xufei doesn't like you. If it weren't for the matchmaker's advice because of his parents' orders, he would have regretted the marriage long ago. .”

The other women laughed softly after hearing this, and some whispered: "Yes, who is Young Master Lin? How could he like such a rigid and dull woman like her?"

The expression of the woman who was called Gu Xue'an did not change much, and she said calmly: "It's not your turn, Xu Panrui, to worry about my engagement with Lin Xufei. Don't let others think you are speaking too bitterly."

Xu Panrui's cute smile suddenly changed, and she said with raised eyebrows, "Do I need to be upset? I want to see if you can successfully marry into the Lin family!"

The woman next to her saw that the two of them were really at odds with each other, so she hurriedly tried to persuade them to make peace, lest they get into a big fight.

Gu Xue'an straightened her back and ignored Xu Panrui. Xu Panrui was also concerned that today was a special day and did not say any more.

Bai Ruozhu pulled Wu Ying and hadn't gone far, so she overheard the conversation between the two. She had some impression of Gu Xu'an, and indeed she didn't laugh at them like the others just now, but she didn't expect that the other person turned out to be Lin Xufei's fiancée.

Thinking of Lin Xufei's good color and his two pear dimples, Bai Ruozhu felt that Gu Xuean's appearance would be much inferior to Lin Xufei's. But she had a good impression of Lin Xufei, and he didn't seem to judge people by their appearance. How could she not like him, an upright fiancée?

Bai Ruozhu secretly glanced back at Xu Panrui, who was speaking sourly, thinking that this young lady was probably jealous of her good marriage.

"Ruozhu, you can't leave even if you're angry. Let's go back and see how I deal with her later." Wu Ying saw that no one heard them, so she whispered.

"You don't need to be familiar with them. I just heard the conversation between Dean Wen and the others on the stage. I'm afraid they want us to represent Beiyu Academy in the competition." Bai Ruozhu learned the conversation between the two parties to Wu Ying.

Wu Ying clenched her fists angrily, "I was so busy being angry with that woman that I didn't pay attention to what was said on stage. You should be more careful. We agreed to compete, but we have to show them some color. We can't embarrass our northwest."

After saying that, her face suddenly fell down again, and she scratched her head anxiously, messing up her well-knotted hair.

"No, Ruozhu, I'm the worst at studying. I can't help you at all. If I had known that such a day would come, I would not be lazy and study hard."

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but laugh. The little Dengdeng in her arms grabbed a piece of her messed up hair and started playing with it. Seeing this, Bai Ruozhu glared at her son, patted his little hand gently, and taught him a lesson: "Don't bully you, Aunt Wu Ying."

Xiao Dengdeng pouted, not daring to pull Wu Ying's hair anymore.

"Isn't there a literary test and a martial test in the competition? You just need to work harder on the martial test." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.

Wu Ying thought about it and felt relieved, and said, "That's right, then I'll leave the essay test to you."

Bai Ruozhu smiled bitterly, "I'm only good at poetry and books, but not anything else." She had decided to cheat by relying on the wisdom of the ancients. Anyway, she remembered a lot of Tang poetry and Song lyrics.

"Not all events require women to participate. Let's not bring shame to Beiyu City. By the way, I am also good at chess, so let's participate in riding, archery and chess." The two decided and planned to return to their residence first. , Bai Ruozhu asked Mu Yu to send a message to Jiang Yichun, and then left first.

Because they were participating on a temporary basis and did not have the uniform uniforms of the Hosumi Academy delegation, they were pressed for time and had to prepare immediately.

Mu Yu returned soon and Dean Wen told him that they went to his room to get the clothes left by Du Xueru and Qin Kaichang, change them, and wear them in the afternoon.

When Qin Kaichang was mentioned, Bai Ruozhu's expression became a little gloomy. Dean Wen also didn't believe that Qin Kaichang could come back, right? Otherwise, how could he mess with his clothes?

"I'm going to hire an embroiderer and ask her to hurry up and make another one. Qin Kaichang should keep the one for him." Bai Ruozhu said seriously, she still hoped to find Qin Kaichang in her heart.

Bai Ruozhu asked Mu Yu to run errands again, picked up Du Xueru's clothes, and then went to the clothing store to meet them so that she could buy fabric according to the material and color of the clothes.

As a result, Mu Yu came back with a sad face after taking the clothes. Chen Feng just sighed and thought to himself, didn't he get into trouble again?

"What's wrong?" Bai Ruozhu asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Madam, I was wrong. I was in such a hurry to get my clothes that I broke Dean Wen's inkstone. I thought it was still a good inkstone." Mu Yu's voice became softer as she spoke, shrinking her neck as if waiting for punishment.

The corner of Bai Ruozhu's mouth twitched, and she sighed helplessly and said, "It's okay, I'll tell Dean Wen later, and I'll just pay him back later."

Mu Yu looked very pitiful, "Madam is still soft-hearted. Master would have whipped me long ago."

Chenfeng glared at him fiercely, "You still have the nerve to say it, but you still can't change it now."

Bai Ruozhu and Wu Ying picked out the fabrics for their clothes, paid a lot of money to hire a skilled embroiderer, and then took a carriage back to their residence.

In order to make it faster, Bai Ruozhu also helped the embroiderer with the work, and Wu Ying was responsible for playing with Deng Deng. Fortunately, it was a thin summer shirt, which was not complicated. Even before lunch, it was ready.

Wu Ying said that since she was tall, she didn't need to make major changes to Du Xueru's clothes, so she generously asked Bai Ruozhu to wear the new clothes.

Bai Ruozhu thought for a while and said, "You are still a woman who has not left the court. It is not good to wear other men's clothes."

Wu Ying waved her hands indifferently and said: "We martial arts practitioners are not that particular. His men's clothing can be modified for me, but it will be troublesome if you don't wear it. What should you do if Master Jiang is jealous again?" She even shrank as she spoke. She shrunk her neck, as if Jiang Yichun would strangle her neck.

The corner of Bai Ruozhu's mouth twitched. The image of her Ah Chun's jealousy had been deeply imprinted on Wu Ying's heart, and she probably wouldn't forget it for many years.

Dean Wen rushed back at noon and saw that their clothes were basically ready. He immediately bowed to the two of them and said, "On behalf of all the teachers and students of Beishui Academy, I would like to thank you."

Bai Ruozhu hurriedly helped him up and said: "After all, we have never really entered the academy to study. How well we can perform depends on luck."

"Wen is extremely grateful to you for agreeing to this matter. No matter what the outcome is, you will all be registered students of Beiyu Academy from now on. After you reach the age of twenty, you will also be honored guests of Beiyu Academy. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to contact us." Tell Wen." Dean Wen said gratefully.

Bai Ruozhu and Wu Ying glanced at each other. Although neither of them knew the purpose of this distinguished guest, it was definitely a good thing and might benefit future generations.
