The five academies have passed four art competitions. Tai Academy took the lead, taking three woodcuts alone, almost sitting firmly at the head of the five academies this year, and the other four academies of doctors, except for Jin Qide, who had already won a piece of woodcarving, were in a bad mood, still headed by Yan Heng, after all, in previous years, they were chasing the four colleges behind Tai College, and they didn't get a single piece at this time.

When the nine judges sat on the Mei Building to personally proofread the students' papers, Zha Jiwen had the heart to laugh at him:

"Lao Yan, don't keep a straight face, although you will definitely not be able to compare with our Tai Academy, but with your heart and luck in the back, this second position may still be yours."

Yan Heng didn't answer, Jin Qide scratched the scroll, and said to himself in a voice that everyone else could hear:

"That's not exact, I look at our academy, and we can get another piece later, this first is always too learned. Second, it should also be done by a different person. ”

Yan Heng snorted coldly, but because he hadn't seen half of the woodcut so far, he didn't have enough confidence, so he didn't quarrel with the two of them, until a few people compared all the approved volumes-

"Haha! Lao Cha, I accept your good words! ”

The topic of this music and art competition is indeed very beneficial to students with good piano skills, Changsun Xian and Lu Shuqing are the most likely to win this woodcut, Yi Yu and Cheng Xiaofeng have a sentence without saying a word, when the priest walked to the railing, after the surroundings were quiet, her eyes swept around the crowd and fell on Changsun Xian not far away.

After the calligraphy competition the day before yesterday, she had never seen this eldest grandson again, and when she looked at her today, she was still cold and arrogant, and she noticed her gaze and turned her head.

Yi Yu saw that the eldest grandson Xian nodded to her with a false smile on her face, and said in her heart that she had done enough to save face, but did not respond, but looked away.

Dongfang You stood on the edge of the railing as usual, holding a woodcut of music, and in the expectation of the students, announced:

"Music and art competition, the best - four colleges, Gao Junhao."

This result greatly surprised everyone, and Eldest Sun Xian turned his head to look at Lu Shuqing. The two of them looked at each other and frowned, not thinking that it was not themselves or the other party who won, but someone else.

They are just accidents, but not as doubtful as the calligraphy competition the day before yesterday, the piano is good, most of them are good at notation and listening, like the two of them, but good notation and listening notation, not necessarily good piano skills, the former focuses on people's coordination and playing the piano mood, the latter focuses on the memorization and memory of different scores. This student who got woodcut should be the kind of person who memorizes musical scores.

Yi Yu raised his eyebrows, and in the midst of the celebration of the four academies in the building, he put the brush into the bamboo tube, gently washed it, and looked at the smiling and cheerful strange young man not far away, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips.

Yes, she knew the question of the competition, and she thought about memorizing it last night when she held the sheet music, but after turning to that page, she couldn't match the voice in her heart, and pressed the sheet music under the pillow. I went to the study and picked up the piano textbook, and played with the piano in the corner of the wall, which was almost used as an ornament, for a night, and sharpened the gun.

During the competition, she listened intently to the sound of her husband's piano and wrote down the finger positions and chords that she could deal with, as much as she could.

Doing so is in vain Li Tai's arrangement, but she thinks that she should get as much as she pays, and she really took this woodcut because of the leak, or took the content of the memorization to escape the worst, and she couldn't feel at ease with the one who should have gotten the best or shouldn't have gotten the worst, even if the best might have been obtained by Changsun Xian.

But now, it seems that there are indeed more than one or two dark horses in this art competition.

Lu Zhi walked to Yiyu's side and stood still when Dongfang You was about to announce the worst, he was not too worried, the calligraphy woodcut had already been obtained, even if Le Yi was really unlucky to take the worst, it didn't matter, this was what the two of them said, the scope of Le Yi's topic was too wide, so he didn't deliberately ask her to benefit from this item during this time.

"There is the best, there is the worst, among the forty-five people in this painting, nine of us think that the worst is the academy..."

Hearing the name of the priest, Cheng Xiaofeng immediately patted his chest, and said fortunately: "Fortunately, it's not me." ”

Lu Zhi turned his head to Yi Yu and sighed in the chaotic voices around him: "There is really something more unreliable than you!" ”

She exhaled. Secretly said that he was lucky, and complained, "Luckily, I suddenly came to Shen'er last night, and I played the piano for a long time, which is of some use, and I may have memorized one or two more notes than him." ”

When Yi Yu said this, her eyes looked at the direction of Changsun Xian, and she also lost her good brain, and the result was better than expected, Miss Changsun didn't get the best, and she didn't get the worst!

A woodcut has been in the hands of the jade, and the art competition is left with four items: shooting, chess, arithmetic, and etiquette, unless she is unfortunate enough to take the two worst, otherwise after the art competition is over, her reputation in the country will definitely stabilize, and the previous rumors are self-defeating, which is obviously what Changsun Xian does not want to see.

According to the past actions of the eldest grandson, the calligraphy competition the day before yesterday made the Yu turn over, and there will definitely be stumbling blocks waiting for her after that, this person seems to have spotted her as a target to pierce, and if she doesn't shoot it, she won't feel comfortable.

Lu Zhi took the brush from Yu Yu's hand that she had pinched for a long time. After putting it in the bamboo tube, and picking up the bookbag she had placed on the mat and stuffing it in, Du He squeezed through the crowd and reminded the two siblings that they had promised to go to his house.

So after sending the Lu family to the carriage back to Yifang, Lu Zhi and Yiyu got into the carriage of Dufu.

***

The same is Shangshu Mansion, compared to the atmosphere and style of the Changsun Mansion, Du Mansion is much simpler, as soon as the jade enters the gate, he secretly looks at the hall corridor that he passes by.

Du Ruojin's courtyard was on the east side of the main house, and Du He led them directly in, judging from the expressions of the people in the courtyard. Yi Yu can see that the relationship between the two brothers is very good.

Although it is the season when the flowers and trees are withering and decaying, Yi Yu can still imagine from the signs in the courtyard what kind of style this place is in the other three seasons, Du Ruojin is an elegant person, from his people and his paintings, it can be seen.

Du He took them to the living room and sat down, and said, "My eldest brother definitely didn't expect you to come, you sit down for a while, and I will inform him." ”

Yi Yu's brows frowned slightly, when she was still in the Junzi Building, she felt that it was too presumptuous to visit her suddenly, Lu Zhi was because of Du Ruhui's recommendation and the Du family's friendship was acceptable, and it was normal for her to come to visit the patient, what was the matter, so she followed in a daze.

Lu Zhi saw that her demeanor was different, took the teacup offered by the next person, and said to her: "Don't worry about it, Master Du is kind to me, since the second son mentioned that Mr. Du is ill, how can he not come and take a look, it just so happens that today's competition is free, let's visit with gifts another day." ”

What he said also made sense, so Yi Yu suppressed the awkwardness in his heart and said softly: "It's right to visit, it's just that you don't need to have lunch, it's too bothering." ”

She remembered that Du He had mentioned in school that she wanted to keep them for dinner.

"Hmm." As soon as Lu Zhi nodded, the door curtain was lifted, and Yi Yu looked sideways.

Compared with what I saw in class after school, Du Ruojin's elegant face was still a little more abnormally pale, he was wearing a blue brocade robe, a white velvet coat, and a gentle smile on his sickly face.

After Yi Yu was slightly stunned, he stood up and made a formal salute, "Mr. Du." ”

Lu Zhi shook his hand, and the title was more casual. "Brother Du."

"The second brother said that you came, which really surprised me." Du Ruojin slowly walked to the chair opposite the Yu Yu and sat down, and when Du He and Lu Zhi were seated, he said to the only Yu Yu standing in the room:

"Miss Lu doesn't need to be polite, if you still have to take care of the etiquette in my house, then wouldn't the second brother have to stand next to me all the time? I'm also the teacher who taught him. ”

His voice was gentle and slow, with a calming taste, and the awkwardness and presumptuousness of Yi Yu just now suddenly disappeared mostly, and he nodded obediently and sat down.

Lu Zhi first greeted Du Ruojin's body, and then several people talked about the art competition of the five academies, from Lu Shuqing's song in the rain the day before, to Lu Zhi's painting art championship, after talking about the twists and turns in the calligraphy competition, Du Ruojin said softly to Yu Yu, who had been sitting quietly and listening to their speeches:

"I listened to the second brother about the events of that day, and Miss Lu was really wronged."

Yi Yu suddenly heard him say this, his eyes immediately froze, this calligraphy competition has ended until now, praising her, praising her, feeling sorry for her, and secretly hating her, but no one has ever mentioned the word grievance, and this is precisely the most direct feeling she has hidden under the calm after the competition.

She turned her head sideways to look at Du Ruojin, but saw that the other party's slightly sickly face was not obvious, but there was a real look of worry, her chest was warm, and she didn't know how to answer him, so she could only smile and shake her head, as for whether this shaking of the head meant that she no longer felt wronged, or the meaning of the side, only she knew it in her own heart.

Lu Zhi and Du He saw the brief eye contact between the two, one pouted secretly, and the other frowned slightly.

The four chatted for a while, and Lu Zhi said goodbye on the grounds of not disturbing Du Ruojin's rest, and pushed Du He's invitation to stay for dinner.

The Du brothers got up to send them to the door of the living room, and Lu Zhi stretched out his hand and lightly blocked Du Ruojin's shoulder, "You are still sick, so you don't need to send it." ”

Du He Yinghe, "Yes, big brother, I'll just send it." ”

Du Ruojin's gaze moved from Lu Zhi's face to Yi Yu's face, and he tugged at the big stalk on his shoulder, "Okay, you guys go slowly, let's talk about it another day." ”

Lu Zhi and Yi Yu responded, Du Ruojin snuggled by the door, and after seeing them out of the courtyard, he waved his hand to signal his subordinates to get busy, turned around and walked into the living room alone, raised his right hand and spread it out in front of him, and there was a small paper ball on it.

The jointed fingers gently pushed the paper ball apart, and after stroking it in the palm of the hand, two lines of small characters jumped on the crumpled paper.

A clear voice slowly sounded, "I'll just say, why did you come to me now." ”

(I saw my message in the comment area, thank you for your concern, I had a stomach ache in the middle of the night last night, and now I am much more comfortable, today's three watches, I will make up for the one I owe last night!) ）(！ )
