Chapter 843: Is the second brother trying to catch up?

The Beiyu Academy team uniform that Bai Ruozhu is wearing is a very plain dark blue color. The collar and cuffs have plain white wide edges, which makes it look like a female bachelor.

In order to attract too much attention, Bai Ruozhu did not put her hair into a woman's bun. Instead, she put her hair up into a man-style bun with hairpins inserted on it to show her identity as a woman.

She has a slender figure, fair skin, and a kind of aura about her. When she dresses like this, she instantly outshines the other men in the team. Even her second brother looks a little less colorful in front of her.

Jiang Yichun's eyes widened when he saw her, and he felt that his wife was extremely beautiful, but soon he frowned slightly. He really didn't want others to see such a beautiful side of Ruozhu.

He went over and hugged Bai Ruozhu's waist as if no one was watching, glanced coldly at the dumbfounded students from the delegation, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, madam."

Bai Ruozhu's face couldn't help but feel a little hot when he hugged her waist in public. She glared at him and immediately understood that this jealousy was declaring her ownership again. She thought it was funny and felt a little sweet in her heart, so she simply didn't point it out.

Wu Ying's outfit was not as bright as her usual red riding outfit, but it still had a unique charm. She had a small bag slung across her body, and on it hung the small goldfish coin bag Bai Ruozhu gave her.

The backpack was suggested by Wu Ying. She said that letting those people take a look would save their eyes from growing on their heads. Bai Ruozhu knew that women loved beauty the most, so she thought Wu Ying's proposal was a good one. It would be a good idea for the female relatives in Jiangnan, and it would help the Beidi gain face. In addition, it would also help Hua Xiangrong open a branch in Jiangnan.

The morning was the opening ceremony, and the competition officially started in the afternoon. Except for Wu Bai, who had to recuperate, everyone else in the team went to the competition location. Jiang Yichun even hugged his son in a funny way, which attracted the attention of many people.

At this time, few men are willing to take care of children for fear of being laughed at, but Jiang Yichun doesn't care about the eyes of others. In addition, his father took care of him the most when he was a child, and he also wants to be a good father who spends more time with his children, so he Sitting at the VIP table calmly and calmly, he would tease his son from time to time, peeling a grape or something for him.

Bai Ruozhu glanced at him, and her eyebrows immediately wrinkled. Wu Ying pushed her with her arm and whispered, "Your Mr. Jiang is a rare good man. He is handsome and willing to take care of children. Still so nice to you."

Bai Ruozhu's face was hot and he hurriedly made a silence gesture to her. Wu Ying snickered, obviously she was shy, okay?

Soon, the competition officially began. The first round was a written test, and the content of the written test was policy theory. The rules were very simple. There were three topics in total. Those who participated in this round could not change the topic they selected in the past. Then the organizer opened the topic. Individuals make decisions based on their own topics.

All the men from Beiyu Academy attended. Bai Ruozhu and Wu Ying were both not good at policy discussions, so they sat on the sidelines and watched the battle. However, they did not expect that women from Xuanlang Academy and Chang'an Academy also participated in the policy discussions.

Bai Ruozhu and Wu Ying looked at each other with helpless expressions. The policy was about current affairs. They never cared about that. How could they do it?

As the two sat, they saw the woman named Xu Panrui in the viewing gallery not far away. She looked at them with a sarcastic expression and whispered something to the female family members next to them.

Wu Ying couldn't hear it, but Bai Ruozhu heard it vaguely. The main joke was that they were just making up the numbers and didn't even dare to participate in the policy discussion.

Bai Ruozhu secretly pouted, how could she not even participate in the competition if she was so good? Don't you feel like a clown if you can only make sarcastic remarks from the sidelines?

Fortunately, there was a time limit for policy papers, and the time came quickly. All the articles were collected, and it took time to wait for the judges to circulate them one by one, so we went directly to the second competition.

The second item is the art of piano playing. Don’t think that only women in Danliang Kingdom are good at playing the piano. Scholars believe that playing the piano is a way to cultivate their sentiments.

This time, only five people from each team participated in the competition, and among the five people from Beiyu Academy, there was Bai Zepei!

Bai Ruozhu looked at her second brother in surprise. She had never seen him play the piano before, and she even thought that he couldn't play the piano. Each team needs to send five people to play. Isn't it because the academy is short of manpower and the second brother can fill up the number?

Thinking of this, Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but shed a cold sweat for her second brother. Even if it was just a small amount, with so many people watching, if he performed too poorly, he would lose the face of himself and the academy.

Each Qinyi player drew lots, and then moved the pianos to the stage in order to play. The first one from Beiyu Academy to play was Shan Youshen. He has become more peaceful in recent days, and Bai Ruozhu is too lazy to fuss with him. , the top priority is the honor of Beiyu Academy and Beiyu City.

Shan Youshen carried the qin to the stage, then sat down cross-legged to play the qin. Not to mention that he looked stingy and noisy, but when he played the qin he really looked like a celebrity. Bai Ruozhu didn't know much about qin skills and could only listen to the fun. I just think it sounds very good, a bit better than the previous players.

"Shan Youshen's father is a famous scholar in the northwest. He is best at calligraphy and piano skills. Shan Youshen has studied piano with his father since he was a child, but he is extraordinary." Wu Ying explained to Bai Ruozhu in a low voice beside her, but after finishing speaking She curled her lips again, "Shan Youshen is too narrow-minded, so the sound of the piano is missing some spiritual energy."

Bai Ruozhu nodded, but it seemed that he was missing some artistic conception.

The second brother drew number 23, and his ranking was neither at the front nor at the back. When it was finally his turn to play, beads of sweat oozed from Bai Ruozhu's palms. She didn't ask before. I asked my second brother what project he is participating in?

Bai Zepei went straight to the stage without holding the piano in his hand, and walked towards the piano provided by the organizer.

At this time, there was an uproar from the audience. In order to achieve good results in the competition, most people must use their usual piano, and it is best to use a famous piano. The piano provided by the organizer can only be said to be average, just for emergencies. I didn't expect anyone to actually use it.

Bai Ruozhu also gasped at the sight. The second brother was afraid that buying a piano would be too expensive, so he didn't say anything, right? Bai Ruozhu almost wanted to slap herself. She cared too little about her second brother. If only she had asked earlier and bought him a good piano.

Does the Bai family lack this money now?

Wu Ying was also a little surprised and asked in a low voice: "Your second brother didn't bring the piano?"

Bai Ruozhu's mouth twitched, "I've never seen him play the piano."

Wu Ying was so shocked that she could swallow an egg this time. "It's not like he replaced Qin Kaichang or Du Xueru, right? Isn't this just trying to catch a duck?"

Bai Ruozhu thought it was very possible, but it was useless to think about anything now. She could only pray that her second brother would perform exceptionally, or at least not embarrass himself in public.

The two of them couldn't help but hold hands together. They were both sweating for Bai Zepei on the stage, but Bai Zepei himself was very calm and free. He flicked the back of his clothes and sat in front of the piano. He raised his hand slightly and tried it gently. After auditioning, he nodded slightly towards the podium and started moving his hands.
