However, although Xiao Man wanted to use this incident to ask the mother and daughter of the whole week, but the Lantern Festival three days later still did not come up with a better reason to refuse, plus there were still a lot of things waiting for her to deal with in the house, and gradually, Xiao Man also forgot about this matter.

In the past two days, Xiao Manri was busy with the assessment of the number of screeners, and finally got everything done the day before the Lantern Festival, and it was at this time that Lu Li rushed back from the suburbs.

Coincidentally, Xiaoman was very busy here, and seeing that the other party was back, he hurriedly called the other party and asked him to help him organize the assessment.

Although the purpose of this assessment is only to screen out some people, so as to make the follow-up teaching simpler and easier, Xiaoman also really wants to take this opportunity to screen out those who don't like and have no talent.

"The abandoned martial arts arena outside the city has been cleaned up, Lu Li, wait a minute, you take these embroidered girls outside to the martial arts arena directly, Xiaoxue and the others are already waiting there." Xiao Man handed over the list of participants in the assessment to Lu Li and said.

Lu Li took the list, glanced at it casually, and then raised his eyes: "What about you?" ”

Xiaoxue and others are also embroiderers, but speaking of which, Lu Li still believes in Xiaoman's embroidery more.

"I still have something to do in the house, I'll go over later." Xiao Man said without raising his head.

Lu Li nodded, put the list into his arms, and said, "Then be careful on the road, I'll go first." ”

After hearing Xiao Man's answer, Lu Li smiled and pushed the door to leave.

Lu Li walked out of the mansion, looking at the large number of people outside who were pressed by the black, and finally knew why Xiao Man asked him to help, so many people, if Xiao Man was allowed to greet alone, it would take a lot of effort just to get to the competition venue.

Thinking about it, Lu Li coughed lightly and raised his voice: "I'll take the roll call first, and the person whose name is called will stand in front and stand in the order of my roll call, you know?" ”

Xu is because he has never seen Lu Li, coupled with his momentum of not being angry and arrogant, the people below are much quieter than before, plus Wang Dacui and He Miao greeted him, the crowd of black pressure quickly calmed down completely, waiting for Lu Li's roll call.

"Zhang Feng, Zhao Long, Wang Wu......"

Lu Li stared at the list, called over one by one in order, and glanced ahead from time to time, so as to make sure that the number of people standing in front was the same as the number of his own names.

Until the team became more and more orderly, Lu Li's voice was already a little hoarse, he looked at the few remaining people, gritted his teeth, and took a breath to name all the remaining people.

The team was neat, Lu Li stood on a high place and glanced at it casually, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Who is in the team called Wang Dacui?" ”

"Me!" Wang Dacui squeezed out of the middle, leaned in front of Lu Li, raised his arm and smiled: "It's me, I'm here!" ”

"You lead the team in front and go directly to the abandoned martial arts arena outside the city." Lu Li commanded.

With Wang Dacui's order, the mighty team began to divide into small teams, and everyone followed Wang Dacui forward in a regular manner, all the way through the bustling streets, and went out of the city to the abandoned martial arts arena in the east of the city.

After some trimming, the surface of the martial arts arena has been cleaned, and hundreds of small stools have been placed, and a small embroidery bandage is placed on each small stool, as well as embroidery thread, embroidered cloth, and so on.

As Xiao Man said, Xiao Xue and the others have been waiting here for a long time, they told everyone the rules formulated by Xiao Man, and then everyone who was waiting for the assessment found a place to sit down again and began to prepare for the assessment.

In fact, the topic of this assessment is very simple, that is, let everyone play casually, flowers, birds, fish and insects, embroider anything, and then embroider your name after everything is completed, and wait for the notice.

Seeing that everyone was seated one after another, Lu Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to look for a cup of tea to drink, when Xiao Man arrived in the carriage.

Jade, who got off the carriage with Xiaoman, was carrying a teapot in his hand, and the little guy behind him was also holding a few teacups, and it could be seen that these things were brought from the house.

According to Xiaoman's instructions, Jade poured tea for Lu Li, Xiaoxue and other embroidery girls present, and then retreated.

"Has it started?" Xiao Man glanced around the martial arts arena and asked with some surprise.

After Lu Li drank the tea, his throat was much more comfortable, he coughed lightly, and smiled: "Yes, it didn't take long to start." What, are you done with it over there? ”

Xiao Man Yingying smiled, looked up at each other, and raised a smug smile, "Of course." ”

After speaking, she stepped forward to hold Lu Li's hand, lowered her head and breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "Thank you, Lu Li, fortunately you are here, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do today." ”

If you want to organize a competition, you can't just talk about it. In the past, she had to prepare for a race in Beijing months in advance, but today in Bei'an, she needs to prepare for the race in a few days, and she has to get the match to a smooth end before the Lantern Festival.

It's painful to think about it.

But fortunately, there are so many embroidery girls and Lu Li in the house to help him, otherwise it would be difficult for Xiaoman to complete it today even if he didn't sleep all day.

"You and I still say thank you, isn't it too much to see each other?" Lu Li held Xiao Man's hands, patted them twice, and said, "So many people come to the assessment, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, can you screen it before tomorrow?" ”

"I guess so." Xiao Man turned to look at the people who were concentrating on the game, and explained: "Just screen out some of the embroideries that are really unseeable, Xiaoxue and they can all come to help me, and they should be able to screen it soon." ”

Lu Li nodded, "That's fine." ”

The competition is only a stick of incense, hundreds of people sit on a small horse to do embroidery, among them, some people are some basic, so three under five divided by two is done, but some people are ignorant of this, and even have never been touched, so scratch their ears and cheeks, until the pillar of incense is burned, and they have not been able to embroider a decent thing.

Seeing that the pillar of incense was about to burn out, Xiao Man breathed a sigh of relief, and then called Xiao Xue, "I have to go back first, wait for you and the other embroiderers to collect these embroideries, let them disperse first, go home and wait for news." ”

"And what's in there?" Xiaoxue frowned in embarrassment, "Hundreds of little Maza, and these embroidered fabrics, we can't move them back just by a few of us!" ”

"Don't worry about this, I'll have someone bring it back later, you just have to collect all the embroidery." Xiao Man smiled and explained.

Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." ”

After instructing Xiaoxue, Xiaoman took Lu Li back with confidence, and on the way, she told each other what Mrs. Zhang and the mother and daughter of the Zhou family, as well as what she and the mother and daughter of the Zhou family said to each other.

Then, Xiao Man leaned helplessly on the other party and asked for help: "I promised before that I would have dinner with the mother and daughter of the Zhou family at the Lantern Festival, but now she and Mrs. Zhang are in trouble like this, and they still want to use me, how do you say I should refuse?" ”

"Since you have promised to help Zhou Xiaoxiao find a husband, then go directly to the banquet." Lu Li had another opinion on this matter, he explained: "Anyway, the mother and daughter of the Zhou family don't know that you already know the truth, so you will plan and accompany them to perform this play." ”

After speaking, Lu Li patted Xiaoman's shoulder, raised his lips and smiled: "As for me, just take Wangshu to see the lanterns tomorrow, and you can go to the Drunken Immortal Building for dinner." ”

I thought that the other party was sincere in giving me advice, but in the end, Xiaoman heard that the other party was just ridiculing.

She immediately sat up straight, snorted coldly, and then said: "I was helpless, so I came to ask you for help, but I didn't expect you to play tricks on me, so I ignored you." ”

After speaking, Xiao Man pretended to be angry and turned his back to the other party.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding, don't be angry." Lu Li hurriedly pressed the other party's shoulder, forcibly twisted Xiao Man over, reached out to rub the other party's hair, leaned over slightly, and looked at the other party: "Next, let's get acne seriously, okay?" ”

Xiao Man still pretended to be cold, "Say it." ”

Lu Li coughed lightly and said, "When I came out with these people today, many people in the city saw it, and everyone knew that Anping County mainly held the competition, and there were hundreds of people participating in this competition. ”

"You mean, let me use the excuse of the game to prevaricate Mrs. Zhou?" Xiao Man frowned and asked.

"That's right." Lu Li smiled confidently, "With so many people participating in the competition, although the competition will end today, it will take a lot of effort to screen embroidery, select students, and arrange courses for each maid in the future." ”

After speaking, Lu Li raised his eyebrows at Xiao Man and continued: "I know, you have done all these things, but how do outsiders know?" What's more, the other party is still a foreigner who has just come to Bei'an City for a long time. ”

This method is indeed feasible, but Xiaoman is still a little worried.

She bit her lip and said with some embarrassment: "But we will still go out on the day of the Lantern Festival, what if we meet the mother and daughter of the Zhou family on the road?" Wouldn't it be embarrassing? ”

"Uh... Anyway, you don't want to have anything to do with the mother and daughter of this week, even if they see it? Take this opportunity to let the other person know your heart. Lu Li said.

That's what he said, but Xiaoman still felt awkward.

She bit her lip and thought about it for a long time, but finally did not take Lu Li's suggestion, but decided to go to Zhang's mansion in person, so that she could know Mrs. Zhang's intentions.

You must know that this Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhou are biological sisters, even if they quarrel and the relationship is stiff, the relationship should be far closer than ordinary people. Xiaoman wanted to hear what the other party meant, so that he could decide whether to cut off contact with the mother and daughter of the Zhou family in the future.

After all, if this Mrs. Zhang still has compassion for Mrs. Zhou's mother and daughter, and she cuts off contact with the Zhou family's mother and daughter first, it will still be very awkward and embarrassing.

"Don't go into the mansion later, take me to Zhang's mansion directly."
