Chapter 863 A blessing in disguise

Bai Ruozhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Yichun taking the people away. She was really afraid that things would get worse. Someone read Jiang Yichun's book, and she was also afraid that she would become a beauty in "a beauty becomes a beauty in anger", but Jiang Yichun Being able to support her like this made her feel sweet and she felt much better.

The competition team also breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Wei said something, and all the judges began to circulate the students' works to evaluate the rankings of the calligraphy competition.

Good works will be presented first, and Bai Ruozhu’s calligraphy became the first one to be presented.

Bai Zepei went over and patted Bai Ruozhu on the shoulder and said, "Little sister, please go back to the team and sit for a while."

Bai Ruozhu nodded and followed his second brother to retreat. When the two passed by Lin Xufei, they bowed and thanked him. Lin Xufei hurriedly returned the gift and said, "That's what I should have done. I was telling the truth."

After Bai Ruozhu sat down, she found that a gaze was still following her. She looked over and happened to catch the gaze of a young master.

He was a young man in his twenties, and he was also a handsome man, but he was not very tall and looked a little thinner.

The young man was not embarrassed by Bai Ruozhu. He nodded and smiled politely at Bai Ruozhu. At this time, a handsome young man came over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Wang Xuan, it seems that you appreciate it too." Bai Ruozhu’s poems and words.”

Bai Ruozhu looked at the handsome young master. It was Tang Feng, the most talented man in the south of the Yangtze River, whom he had met once before. After talking about the two days of competition, Bai Ruozhu also truly saw the reputation of Tang Feng, the most talented man, with the best strategy and chess skills. Secondly, now that I am participating in calligraphy again, I still don’t know where I will get in calligraphy.

When Tang Feng saw Bai Ruozhu looking at him, he nodded slightly towards Bai Ruozhu, smiled very elegantly, and then pulled Wang Xuan and Wang Xuanlang Academy towards him.

"Do you know Bai Ruozhu?" Wang Xuan whispered, "She is so strong-willed, I couldn't help but want to speak for her just now, but it's a pity that I'm not here, so I can't talk nonsense."

Tang Feng smiled, "I bumped into her in a restaurant before, and I did encounter Miss Xu slandering her second brother. She made Miss Xu unable to fight back with just a few words. She is an interesting woman."

Wang Xuan looked at Tang Feng in surprise, "Oh, this is the first time I hear you praise a woman. She is already married."

Tang Feng laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "What are you thinking about? It's not enough to simply appreciate it?"

The conversation between the two fell into Bai Ruozhu's ears word for word. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly. Should she be flattered to be appreciated by the most talented person?

Dean Wen and the others comforted Bai Ruozhu a few words, so that she didn't have to be as knowledgeable as people like Xu Panrui. They also praised her poems and her heroic writing.

Bai Ruozhu felt a little embarrassed to be praised by an acquaintance. The poem was not hers, and the words were written out of anger.

Soon, the results of the calligraphy competition were announced, and the first place turned out to be the thin young man Wang Xuan who smiled friendly at Bai Ruozhu.

"Wang Xuan is the best at calligraphy among the four great talents. It is said that if he practices it, he will become a calligrapher in the future." Bai Zepei explained quietly beside him.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, turned around and asked, "Does the second brother have a chance to get ranked?"

Bai Zepei suddenly laughed, "I don't know, my second brother writes better with water."

Bai Ruozhu's heart skipped a beat. In the past, her family was poor, and her second brother was reluctant to waste paper and paper. He would write on the table with a brush dipped in water. He wrote too much, and the paint on the table wore off.

But the density of water and ink are different, and the feeling of writing is also different. Thinking about it this way, Bai Ruozhu felt stabbed in his heart again.

The second place was quickly announced on the stage, and it was Tang Feng.

Tang Feng from a distance patted Wang Xuan on the shoulder, "Sure enough, I lost to you in calligraphy again."

Wang Xuan smiled shyly and said nothing more.

After that, the third place was Ding Guangji from Chang'an Academy, and the fourth place was a contestant from Tai'an Academy. When he got to fifth place, Bai Ruozhu prayed silently in his heart, hoping that his second brother would get fifth place.

"Fifth place Beiyu Academy Bai Ruozhu!"

Bai Ruozhu was stunned at this moment. Did she hear it correctly? She finished fifth?

For a moment, she seemed to feel that she had snatched the second brother's opportunity, and regretted that she had to fight for that breath.

Both the audience and the people in the Eighth College Palace couldn't help but be stunned, Bai Ruozhu? But what she wrote was not within the rules of the competition, right?

However, intimidated by the shocking momentum brought by Jiang Yichun just now, no one dared to raise this question directly. It was Mr. Wei who stood up and said: "Although Bai Ruozhu did not write the text required for the competition, there was a reason for it. Her previous works were Destroyed, she wrote that poem under a tight schedule, which is really admirable. In view of the excellent poem and words, our jury unanimously decided to rank her fifth. The top ten works will be announced later. At that time, everyone will know for themselves when they appreciate it.”

With the respected Mr. Wei speaking, no one dared to have any opinions. Mr. Wei sat down, rubbed his throat, and muttered: "I'm exhausted old man today, so it's better to stay out of things."

Everyone knows that Mr. Wei is highly respected in the south of the Yangtze River and is an honorary gentleman in Xuanlang City. However, he never gives lectures to students. He only serves as a judge for competitions occasionally, but rarely speaks. Today, he has made an exception to take care of Bai Ruozhu's affairs.

That's the end of the day's competition. Beiyu Academy has earned enough attention today. Bai Zepei won the first place in chess, Wu Ying, a woman, actually outperformed all the Erlangs and won the first place in riding and archery, while Wu Bai He also got the top five. Although there was no particularly outstanding person in the calligraphy competition, Bai Ruozhu got the fifth place because of this unforeseen incident, even a very valuable fifth place.

Everyone in Beiyu Academy ran to look at the calligraphy works posted. Among them were works by Bai Zepei, who ranked eighth, and another student from Beiyu Academy, Jin Junfeng, took tenth place.

Everyone admired it for a while, then got on the carriage and returned to their residence.

Halfway through the car, Bai Ruozhu saw the sound of horse hooves trampling, and the woman's voice calling for driving was particularly familiar. She opened the car curtain and saw that it was Wu Ying riding a horse, galloping towards her with a gloomy look on her face. .

"Wu Ying!" Bai Ruozhu shouted.

Wu Ying then realized that the carriage belonged to the academy and hurriedly asked the horse to stop.

"Ruozhu, just hope you're okay. I heard the news and wanted to rush to vent my anger for you..." Wu Ying's eyes turned red as she said this. She is a woman and knows the impact of this kind of thing on women. Ruozhu did it to save her brother. If something happens to someone who has been framed, their Wu family will owe Bai Ruozhu a lot.

Bai Ruozhu felt warm in her heart when she saw Wu Ying was so anxious. He waved to her and said, "It's okay. Turn around quickly and let me go back and tell you how to scold bitches."

Chenfeng, who was guarding the carriage, twitched his lips. Madam, are you saying that too bluntly?
