"I announce that due to the controversy of the top eight, this seat and the examiners have unanimously decided to increase the top eight to the top nine, in order of ranking: Bai Moran, Zhang Mingqian, Lu Shuixian, Zhongli Ziwei, Rong Hanying, Bi Su'e, Milan Qing, Gao Qiaolin, Xi Qinghui"

Lan Changsong announced on the stage.

"Oh, it's a loss to me, a whole thousand silver spirits are gone, my Milan is so good!"

"Hey, it's not my narcissus..."

The audience saw that their favorite girl did not get the first and second place on the list, and they beat their chests everywhere, angry and angry, and some regretted their bets.

"Bai Moran!"

At this time, Gao Qiao Lin Yin in the crowd looked at Bai Moran fiercely, gritting his teeth and reading Bai Moran's name.

And Zhang Mingqian, who was standing under the locust tree in the inner courtyard, was also angry, Xu did not compete for the top spot, and was unwilling.

After Lan Changsong finished announcing, he cautiously glanced at the white-clothed young man on the stage, and saw that the young man still did not move, so he continued to announce: "This talent assessment of the Children's Art Hall has ended successfully, as for how to arrange Qiuxianglou after the future, please ask Deacon Dong of Qiuxianglou to announce."

Everyone looked at Dong Ping, and Dong Ping walked out slowly at this time, stretched out his hands to signal the silence off the field, and after the noise stopped in the field, he said: "The girls who have entered the top nine, you are about to enter the next round of key training, and the girls who have not entered the top nine should not be discouraged, Qiu Xianglou will also strengthen the training for you, and you have not lost the opportunity to advance to the top three."

After speaking, she looked at Bai Moran under the stand, and then said: "There is a place in Qiuxianglou this time, as for who will end up in the end, please also ask the girls to work hard in the next training, and the remaining eight people will be advanced to the third senior according to the situation of training, and today's assessment is all over."

When I heard Dong Ping officially announce that there was a place for the bookstore, the audience fell into a noise again.

It's just that no one can guess who the flowers are now, and it's boring to stay, so the inner courtyard began to end one after another soon after.

Bai Moran and the others stood in the inner courtyard for a day, very tired, and returned to their residence early with Jiang Cai'er and his party.

Rong Hanying made a bet, because the unpopular Bai Moran won the top spot, which can be regarded as a big profit.

I saw Rong Hanying walking back with two guards from the Children's Art Hall carrying a large bag of spirit stones, and as soon as she put down the money bag, Jiang Caier ran over excitedly and asked Rong Hanying. "Hanying, how much money did we make in total?"

"It is said that there are about 20,000, and there is no accurate statistics, so I'll count them first."

Rong Hanying also looked tired, but with so much money here, it doesn't matter how tired she is, she began to count the spirit stones after speaking.

Jiang Cai'er looked excitedly at the spirit stones all over the ground, and then at Bai Moran, who fell asleep after returning to the house and washing up, and said to Rong Hanying: "You are busy first, before dinner time arrives, I will inquire about tomorrow's arrangements."

Rong Hanying nodded while counting, but suddenly saw Jiang Cai'er turn around, there was a trace of sadness in her eyes, so she stopped her movements and glanced at Jiang Cai'er who was walking out of the room.

And also in a side hall in the backyard, Dong Ping, Ding Xiufang, Hong Yanli, etc. are all there, and a young man in white is sitting on the throne.

"Mr. Su, can I ask you to accept Bai Moran as an apprentice and teach her the art of spiritual sound?"

Dong Ping saluted the young man and said respectfully.

"To be a disciple of this seat?"

The young man in white lazily moved his body on the chair with his left hand on his cheeks, and continued: "This seat never accepts apprentices."

"Sir, that Bai Moran has excellent qualifications, but he is also highly affirmed by Mr., and Mr. doesn't want your life's spirit to be lost, right?"

Ding Xiufang also stepped forward and saluted and said.

"You have to be clear, I'm still far from being weak, lost, are you damning me for a short life?"

The young man in white obviously had a disgust in his words, but his cold eyes were like a bottomless cold pool, bottomless, he couldn't see any expression, and he didn't seem to be able to hold anything.

Feeling the anger of the young man in white, Ding Xiufang hurriedly bent down and bowed again and explained: "No, please forgive me, I didn't mean that."

"There is no need to talk about this matter, this seat likes to be quiet and comfortable, you can wait to pester Lan Changsong, this seat has other things to do"

After speaking, the young man in white stood up and brushed his sleeves away,

"Sister Ping, now we only have Bai Moran as the choice of the book?"

Ding Xiufang watched the young man in white leave, turned to Dong Ping and asked.

"Hey, at present, only Zhang Mingqian and Bai Moran are more suitable, but Bai Moran is from a humble background after all, and our next step is to focus on strengthening training for her in terms of manners and demeanor."

Dong Ping sighed.

At this time, Jiang Cai'er, who was eavesdropping outside the door, had her eyes flickering, she didn't know what she was thinking, and after there was no movement inside, she knocked on the door gently.

"Who?"

Ding Xiufang's voice came from inside the house.

"It's me, Jiang Cai'er!"

"Let her in"

Dong Ping took a sip of tea and said to Ding Xiufang.

A strange look flashed in Ding Xiufang's eyes, she glanced at Dong Ping, and then turned around and said, "Come in!"

Jiang Cai'er entered the house and met Dong Ping, Ding Xiufang, and Hong Yanli sitting in the house one by one, and then looked at Dong Ping without saying anything.

Dong Ping didn't look at Jiang Cai'er, it seemed that she had already seen through her thoughts, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and her eyes also showed a playful look, she said softly.

"Just say anything about it, Ding's mother and Steward Hong are not outsiders.

Jiang Cai'er looked at Ding Xiufang and Hong Yanli, looking a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and then took a long breath and said: "Dong Zhangshi, I also won the jackpot in my talent before, and I also learned manners and manners later, and even trained to sit in the cylinder, experienced all kinds of life, etc."

Saying this, she raised her eyes to look at Dong Ping again, and then continued: "I mean to say, do I have the qualifications to compete for the Academy?" ”

"Didn't you promise you the position of the third year before, why are you also interested in the position of the book now?"

Dong Ping glanced at Jiang Cai'er and said.

"There was no quota before, but now that there is a quota, I always have to fight for it."

"Okay"

At this time, Dong Ping said and smiled slightly, and then continued to say to Jiang Cai'er: "There is only one place in the library, but I said that who will end up in the end depends on your performance this time and our final choice." If you're really interested, as long as you work hard enough, there's a chance, but at the moment, your task is to continue to guide Mo Ran to the next step of training, so you go down first, right? ”

"Yes"

Jiang Cai'er bowed and exited the room, it was dark at this time, and on the way back, she walked with a lot of heart all the way, thinking: "If I can become a scholar, I guess the young master will look at me more."

"Cai'er"

At this time, in a pavilion, a voice came, and Jiang Cai'er looked at it through the moonlight.

"Sister Mingqian, what's the matter?"

"Come here, I've got something to tell you"

Zhang Mingqian beckoned to Jiang Cai'er.

"What's the matter, God is babbling"

Jiang Cai'er said as she walked over, and when she approached the pavilion, she glanced at it, and found that there were still Gao Qiaolin, Zhongli Ziwei and others, so she said, "Why are you here?"

"Shhh

Zhang Mingqian on the side put her finger to her mouth and said after "shhh".

Jiang Cai'er said hello to the others and sat on the sidelines to wait.

Sure enough, after a while, a person walked not far away, Jiang Cai'er stood up and took a closer look and exclaimed.

"Mother Ding!"

Ding Xiufang nodded to Jiang Cai'er when she entered the pavilion, and then said to Jiang Cai'er: "Actually, Dong Zhangshi deceived you, and she was Bai Moran from beginning to end in the position of the study, so no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain."

"How is that possible!"

Jiang Cai'er immediately said in disbelief.

"How is that possible? , don't forget, I'm the head of the children's art hall, what plans does she have, don't I know? ”

Ding Xiufang glanced at Jiang Cai'er and continued: "I know that because Dong Ping changed you from a punishment girl to a prison girl, you have always been grateful to her and very loyal to her, but you must know that it is the position of the eldest three, and she never thought of giving it to you, and when Bai Moran's matter is over, you will have no value."

Jiang Cai'er's face instantly turned pale after hearing this, she shook her head in disbelief, and then said, "I don't believe it!" ”

Ding Xiufang smiled and continued: "The number of Changsan and the number of scholars have never been an exception, why would they make an exception for you?" You're so smart, in fact, you already know it in your heart, but you just don't want to admit it."

"Why are you telling me this?"

Jiang Cai'er questioned.

"We are not here to tell you this, your value to us is not too high, you are also a smart girl, if you can do things for me in the future, although I can't guarantee that you can make a book apartment in Qiuxianglou, but I can promise that you are, other places such as Xiuchun Building, Zhixin Building and other books can be given to you"

Ding Xiufang continued.

Jiang Cai'er fell into deep thought after hearing this, a trace of loss flashed in her eyes, her eyebrows kept frowning, and after a while, she raised her eyes to look at Ding Xiufang and said, "There is no evidence, why should I believe in your promise?"

"Although there is no evidence, do you still have a choice, if you don't choose me, you can only be ruthlessly abandoned by Dong Ping"

Ding Xiufang said that she sat down and kept staring at Jiang Cai'er, waiting for her choice.

Jiang Cai'er was obviously a little hesitant, but soon she seemed to have made a decision: "It's not difficult, anyway, it's better to help you or Dong Ping, isn't it all the same?" I choose you."

"Hehe, this is different, if you do things with me, you have to listen to me"

Ding Xiufang smiled and continued,

"Then Dong is in charge of telling me to do things, how can I refuse?"

Jiang Cai'er asked again.

"It's not that you refuse her orders, but that you stay with her and continue to gain her trust, and I will give you specific tasks in the future, and you can do it."

Ding Xiufang stood up and added.

"But my deed of sale is still in Qiuxiang Building, how can you guarantee to get my deed of sale?"

Jiang Caier continued.

"Haha, it's not easy, as long as Dong Ping is overthrown, I will naturally be the head of Qiuxianglou, and it will not be easy to get your deed of sale."

Ding Xiufang laughed.

"Bring down Dong in charge? You guys? ”

Jiang Cai'er was taken aback when she heard this, she didn't know that Dong was still in charge of this ambition, and it seemed that this Ding Xiufang was not a good stubble.

Ding Xiufang talked with Jiang Caier and others for a long time before they dispersed, Jiang Caier looked preoccupied from before leaving their residence, until she came back from inquiring about the news, she was even more silent, Rong Hanying didn't ask anymore after asking a few times and didn't respond, they went to bed early after dinner.

"Knock~"

Mo Ran was awakened by a sudden sound outside, as if something was hitting the wall, and then footsteps sounded.

At this time, it is already a scandal, who is still outside, Bai Moran thought to herself, just to find out, she quickly got out of bed, came to the side of the bed and gently opened the window a crack, through the crack to check the situation outside, through the moonlight, there was no movement outside.

At this moment, a figure flashed past and entered an alley, vaguely apparently dressed in green.

"Sister Cai'er"

Mo Ran muttered softly, but she didn't know what Jiang Cai'er was doing mysteriously at such a late hour? Curiosity, Bai Moran opened the door and quietly followed, through the alley, to the wall, but there was no figure of Jiang Cai'er at all.

"Click, bang"

The sudden sound startled Bai Moran, and she fixed her eyes on it, a little girl fell to the ground, as if she had fallen from a small tree by the wall, wearing thin clothes and pants, and looked like she was only eight or nine years old.

"Ouch!" The little girl exclaimed

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Bai Moran approached and was about to help her up, asking as she walked.

"Yikes!"

The little girl was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of Bai Moran, and sat on the ground with a scream and hurriedly retreated.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just passing through"

Bai Moran approached and helped her up and said.

The little girl broke free, Bai Moran retreated to the wall, and looked at Bai Moran vigilantly.

Bai Moran smiled slightly, also took a step back and leaned against the trunk, and then said: "No need to climb, I am also a virgin here, I will not hurt you, tell me who you are and what are you doing here?" ”

The little girl hesitated a little, and after a moment she bit her lip and said: "I am Wen Xiaoya, who was sold to Qiuxiang, and I am always bullied here, I am really afraid, so I want to run away, please don't tell Mother Ding, otherwise I will be beaten to death."

Bai Moran nodded after hearing this, then glanced at the towering wall and asked, "Are you going to climb out from here?" ”

The little girl who called herself Wen Xiaoya nodded, she lowered her head and raised her eyes to stare at Bai Moran, looking a little scared.

Bai Moran looked at the towering wall behind the little girl, and then asked, "The wall here is so high, how can you get out?" ”

Wen Xiaoya pointed to a small tree next to her and said, "Sister, look! ”

Bai Moran turned around and saw that a small tree grew on the side of the wall, reaching the top of the wall, as long as he climbed the small tree and could come out of the wall, but this small tree was too slender to climb.

"Over the wall?"

Bai Moran muttered in her heart, and suddenly her eyes showed a look, and she thought, "Although this little girl is not very old, her courage is indeed admirable, why have I tried it before?" ”

Saying that, Bai Moran said to the little girl: "Don't be afraid, I won't tell the truth, can you climb again, I'll help you!" ”

Wang Xiaoya glanced at Bai Moran vigilantly, and finally nodded.

Wang Xiaoya climbed the trunk of the tree again with the help of Bai Moran, and after a lot of effort, she finally climbed onto the branch of a one-person high, she returned to China and looked at Bai Moran and said softly: "Do you want to come, I'll pick you up"

"Since this place can be jumped over the wall, why should I wait for Sister Cai'er's illusory promise?"

Just thinking about it, Bai Moran still shook his head and said: "I can't just leave, as soon as I leave, I will definitely affect Sister Cai'er, and when I go back, I will discuss with Sister Cai'er and Rong Hanying, if you want to go, you have to go together."

While she was thinking to herself, Wen Xiaoya suddenly exclaimed, "It seems that someone is coming."

Bai Moran looked back.

"Oh no, it's the Night Watch"

Bai Moran exclaimed in surprise and quickly stood behind the tree, but the trunk was too small, and there was no shelter around, the night patrol team would definitely find them when they passed by.

At this moment, Wen Xiaoya suddenly jumped down and ran straight towards the night patrol, Bai Moran was taken aback, I don't know what she was doing.

"Is Xiaoya trying to cover my escape? I can't leave her like that! Saying that, Bai Moran gritted his teeth and walked straight towards the night patrol.
