Time flies, and on November 20, after Lu Jing and Daiyu got up and cleaned up, they sent people to the next door to invite Lin Ruhai, Shen Liang, and Zhao Xian.

After Lu Jing entertained a few people for breakfast, he arranged for someone to send a few people back to their homes, and asked Lu Bei to send someone to clean up the private room they had booked.

The competition started before the beginning, and at the right moment, Lu Jing and Lin Ruhai set off with Daiyu, Yinglian, Zhiyu, Li Wen, Li Qi and others.

Aunt Luo chose to stay and watch the house because she was unwell.

At the end of the day, they rushed to the Yufu Building, and several people had lunch in the Yufu Building.

After finishing the meal and cleaning up, Lu Jing accompanied Daiyu and Yinglian to stay until the first hour of noon, and after entrusting Lin Ruhai to take care of Daiyu and them, he went down to Yufu Building and went to Qionghua Building.

I saw that a lot of carriages had been parked outside the pavilion around him, and there were also many sedan horses around the high platform outside the Qionghua Building, and some people gathered in groups to chat on the side of the high platform.

The men of the Five Cities Terracotta Division stood guard or patrolled around the high platform to maintain order.

Lu Jing was walking when he suddenly heard someone shouting to him, looked around, and found that Jia Lan was standing hundreds of steps northwest of the high platform, waving to him, and several green and green feather carriages were parked beside him.

Lu Jing walked over with Wu Ze and Chen Ji, and saw Xue Baochai and Tanchun opening the curtain from time to time to look outside.

Jia Lan hurriedly greeted him and said, "Nephew, visit uncle!" ”

Lu Jing helped him up and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Jia Lan hurriedly explained the reason, it turned out that Jia Baoyu heard about it by chance yesterday from outside, so he told Tanchun, Shi Xiangyun and others.

Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun wanted to see it after some discussion, so they took Baoyu to beg Jia's mother.

After hearing this, Jia Mu asked Baoyu to bring a few people here to have a look, and Xue Baochai and Jia Lan also followed after knowing about it.

After hearing this, Lu Jing asked, "Didn't you book a room?" ”

Jia Lan hurriedly said: "The second uncle knew too late, and we also sent someone to book, but we didn't get it, and several aunts saw more and more people, and they were saying that they wanted to go back." ”

Lu Jing thought for a while and said, "I booked two large rooms, one for men and women, my father-in-law and your uncle and mother are there, you go and ask them if a few girls are willing to squeeze it?" ”

After listening to this, Jia Lan hurriedly went to Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, and Tanchun to give their opinions, and Xue Baochai and the others readily agreed.

So Lu Jing asked people to inform his father-in-law Lin Ruhai and asked him to arrange Jia Baoyu, Jia Lan, and Xue Baochai.

After a while, Lin Zhong rushed over with two small servants.

After Lu Jing handed them over to Lin Zhong, he gave a few more instructions, and went to Qionghua Building to wait for the time for the competition.

Lin Zhong led Jia Baoyu and others to Yufu Building, and after parking the carriage, Xue Baochai and the girls went upstairs surrounded by the maids.

After Lin Ruhai saw a few people, he asked the maid to lead Xue Baochai and a few people to Daiyu's room.

Suddenly, seeing Jia Baoyu quietly following Yingchun and Tanchun, he hurriedly shouted to him and detained him and Jia Lan in his room.

The more Lin Ruhai learned about Jia Baoyu's affairs, the more afraid he felt, fortunately he didn't marry his daughter, otherwise he didn't know how much grievances Daiyu would suffer.

Now that Jia Baoyu is fifteen years old, he still doesn't know how to avoid the suspicion of men and women, and he doesn't care about the reputation of several girls in the Jia family, so he doesn't have a good impression of him.

Jia Baoyu's face couldn't help but be bitter, it was rare to go out with Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai, and he didn't want to run into Lu Jing and Lin Ruhai, because of Lin Ruhai's identity as elders, he had to say goodbye to Xiangyun and Baochai, and reluctantly accompanied Lin Ruhai and Jia Lan and others into the room.

Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin and others didn't pay much attention to Jia Baoyu, and when they arrived at the door of Daiyu's room, they asked the maid to go in to report, and when they saw the door open, several people entered the room.

Lin Daiyu was extremely happy when she saw so many sisters pouring in at once, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet Yingchun, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baochai, and Tanchun.

Lu Zhiyu was very surprised to see Xing Xiuyan and Xichun, especially Xing Xiuyan, who had not seen her for a long time, and was busy chatting affectionately.

Li Wen and Li Qi also walked to Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan to talk about their sisterhood.

Zijuan and Qingwen also talked to Si Qi, Shishu, Zhuhua, Cuiwei and others.

For a while, there were all the golden hairpins in the house, three people in a group, and a group of five people chatted with each other.

The room set by Lu Jingding is very large, and it is still more than enough to accommodate more than ten or twenty people.

Some of the people were meeting for the first time, and a few people introduced each other, and they didn't want to be young, so they called out casually to their sisters and sisters.

Among them, Lu Zhiyu and Xue Baoqin have similar temperaments, and they have a sense of familiarity at first sight, and they chatted very closely.

Xue Baoqin often hears people talk about Daiyu and has always wanted to be close, so he is extremely affectionate.

Lin Daiyu also likes Baoqin's innocent and lively nature, so she pulled her to say a lot of close words.

Jia Baoyu listened to the bursts of laughter from next door, and couldn't help but want to go over and have a look, but Lin Ruhai watched very strictly, and there was no chance.

When there was a quarter of an hour left before the start of the competition, Song Xuequan sent someone to inform Lu Jing that he was ready to appear.

Lu Jing adjusted his mentality, got out of Qionghua Building, climbed the high platform step by step, and saw that the surrounding pavilions were crowded, and the people around the high platform were boiling, and the surrounding water was impassable, and it was roughly calculated that four or five thousand people should come here to watch.

Seeing that the surrounding streets were also crowded with people, stretching for several miles, there should be thousands of people, and I felt the enthusiasm of everyone in Beijing for this matter, so I turned my eyes to the direction where Daiyu and the others were, and saw that Daiyu was standing in front of the window with a veil and looking at herself, and there were Zhiyu, Baochai and others standing next to her, regardless of whether they could see it or not, she nodded to them slightly, and then sat down.

Lin Daiyu stood upstairs and looked down, seeing Lu Jing's last gaze stopping here, knowing that he was looking at himself, he also nodded his head in response, and kept praying in his heart that her husband would win this battle.

Xue Baochai deliberately stood beside Daiyu, and when he saw Lu Jing's gaze just now, his heart fluctuated slightly, looking forward to Lu Jing's fame again today.

The people who came to watch the battle saw Lu Jing come out, saw that he was wearing a crown with his hair tied, wearing Confucian clothes, covered with a white robe, wearing a Bajin treasure silk around his waist, wearing a flying kite dark green jade pendant, stepping on soap boots, handsome eyes and flying spirits, and his bearing was extraordinary.

Not long after, Mu Zhengnan also Shi Shiran ascended to the high platform.

Lu Jing glanced at it, and saw that his body was like a pine section, wearing a navy blue robe, with a light smile on his face, and the light in his eyes, he knew that he was a very scheming person, and nodded slightly at him as a greeting.

Mu Zhengnan looked at Lu Jing, nodded in greeting, and then found his seat and sat down.

It didn't take long for the eleven examiners composed of Song Xuequan and Zheng Chen to also sit on the stage.

With the sound of several gongs, Song Xuequan got up and came to the center of the high platform, introduced the form, content and evaluation method of the competition to everyone, and finally asked all the people present to witness today's competition.
