Chapter 176

After dinner, Du Xiaoli went to see the Empress Dowager again. She learned that she had drunk medicine, ate rice and was resting, so she went back to her room.

The next day, Chuang Tzu, who had been busy, quieted down, because early in the morning, all the people who lived in Chuang Tzu went back. Qingchen and Hu Yijian went back to Yaowang valley. Du Xiaoli sent the empress dowager, Mrs. Meng and Meng Jiangzhuo back to the capital. Niu Jing also went to Taiji hospital early in the morning and asked Tong Tong to take his things back.

Xie scar was outside the gate, watching several carriages leave slowly. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "finally they all left."

Recently, there are a lot of giant Buddhas from Chuang Tzu. The most distinguished men and women from Fengming country have come, along with some other distinguished people. Fortunately, nothing big happened during this period.

It seems that you have to have a strong heart to follow your master!

Du Xiaoli sent the Empress Dowager to the palace gate and no longer went in. When the Empress Dowager entered the palace, she sent old lady Meng back to Meng's house.

Mrs. Meng originally wanted to ask Du Xiaoli to play in Meng's house, but she said she had something to deal with, so she gave it up.

Seeing old lady Meng and Meng Jiangzhuo entering the gate, she put down the curtain and said to the coachman, "go with fate." then she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Miss, it's a thing." Xia yuan looked at Du Xiaoli and said.

"Yes, I'm relieved to know what's going on here. After all, the Empress Dowager always has to be very careful, and my father and brother Xiaoyi are in charge of the competitions in these countries, and I can make soy sauce," Du Xiaoli said. After seeing off the empress dowager, she felt much more relaxed at once.

"What do you do with soy sauce, miss?" Qiao Zhu asked.

Yingge smiled and said, "what Miss said about soy sauce is going through the motions."

"What's the name of soy sauce?" Qiao Zhu continued.

"We don't know that." Yingge shook her head and said.

Qiao Zhu turned her eyes to Du Xiaoli again, with a thirst for knowledge on her face. Du Xiaoli slapped her head away and said, "I said you don't know."

Sometimes, she will still think of some things in her previous life. Although she said that she had no concerns in her previous life, she will always think of it involuntarily.

Qiao Zhu sat back in his seat and said sadly, "Miss doesn't say anything. How do you know we don't know?"

"I said you wouldn't know if you didn't know. When did miss deceive you?" Du Xiaoli looked at Qiao Zhu and said with a smile, "but although he said that there were my father and them, Suiyuan is our place after all, and we can't completely ignore it, so we should cheer up and deal with the matter of this competition in the later time. Do you know?"

"I see, miss." Xia yuan answered in unison.

The carriage took the four people to Suiyuan. When they arrived, Du Yunhan was also there. When they saw Du Xiaoli coming in, they waved to Du Xiaoli. When they approached, they asked, "everything over there has been handled?"

"It has been handled. The Empress Dowager has returned to the palace, and grandma Meng and her elder martial brothers have gone back to Yaowang Valley early in the morning." Du Xiaoli replied.

"Are you tired during this time?" Du Yunhan said with concern, looking at the fatigue of Du Xiaoli's eyes.

"OK." Du Xiaoli shook his head, thought of the game and asked, "Dad, what else needs to be changed here?"

"Your design here is very good. Generally, there is no need to change. It has just opened and is very new. It only needs a small part of decoration, and the supplies of those rooms can be arranged according to the customs of various countries." Du Yunhan has fully understood the situation before and made the most appropriate arrangement for this.

"Then I don't need to do anything?" Du Xiaoli asked.

"Well, it's good for you to supervise." Du Yunhan said. "Other things will be arranged by your father."

"OK." Du Xiaoli nodded and replied with a smile, "but I'm still helping my father. After all, I designed this place. I still know it better."

"Good!" Du Yunhan readily agreed. He had been distressed that Du Xiaoli was too tired before, so he wanted to do all this by himself. However, if his daughter could accompany him, he was still looking forward to it.

At lunch, Du Yunhan told Du Xiaoli about the game.

The participating countries this time are mainly Beiyuan country in the north, Northern Qi country, Dongli country in the East, and Fengming country, the host country.

Although there are some small countries in the south, they will not participate in such competitions. The grassland culture prevails in Beilan country. They are not good at these talents and poems, so they don't come to participate.

When Du Xiaoli heard about Beiyuan state, he remembered that Han Mingyi had said that he could come back early because of Beiyuan's domestic chaos. He didn't know whether such national conditions would affect their game.

This kind of competition is usually held once every three years. It will be staggered with the national imperial examination, and the organizers will rotate. The last time it was in Dongli state, this time it was originally in Beiyuan state, but because of the civil strife in Beiyuan state and the national war of Northern Qi State, it was temporarily changed to Fengming state.

The competition is held on the first day of October, and the students will arrive three to five days in advance, so Du Xiaoli and they have only ten days to prepare. Students from all countries are now about to enter the border of Fengming country, but Du Xiaoli and they have just got the news and began to prepare. Even Du Xiaoli doesn't care much about state affairs knows the twists and turns! As long as the content of the competition is divided into men's and women's competitions, men mainly compete in poetry, songs and Fu, and there are also talents, but the former is the most important play. The women's side is mainly talent competition, and poetry, songs and Fu are much simpler. The process of the competition is very simple, including preliminary test, retest, semi-finals and finals. The first two games are compared according to the specified, but the last two games are for students to play freely, and this quota can be transferred. In other words, if you reach the finals, you can give the quota to others during the competition and let others compete instead. When Du Xiaoli heard the news, he was surprised and said, "there are still such rules?" "yes, there have been such rules all previous years." Du Yunhan said. "Isn't it convenient to cheat?" Du Xiaoli finished eating, wiped the oil stains on his mouth with a handkerchief on the side, and said, "if I use second-class talents to participate in the competition, and then let the best people compete in the final, if everyone doesn't know this person, isn't he more likely to win?" "It used to be like this, but now it's meaningless." "why?" Du Xiaoli asked puzzled. Du Yunhan also finished eating, and Du Xiaoli got up and left the restaurant, explaining as they walked: "Because excellent people have long been famous, so everyone has a certain understanding of the players from other countries. Moreover, people with real strength disdain to use other people's places. Unless there is an accident in the previous competition, they can't continue. For example, if they are ill, they can continue to play with other people's places when they get well."
