Chapter 14: True and False
I couldn't help but look back at the enchanting landscape, and since what was missing was lost in it, it must also be found in it!
My eyes were quickly attracted by a little red in the verdant green, which was the peach blossoms that were budding in early March.
It's a falling flower!
The peach blossoms at the beginning of March only have buds, and they want to bloom before they bloom, although it is interesting under the urging of the spring breeze in March, but what I need in my painting is the falling flowers that can make the wind in the painting more prominent.
Although the clothes in the painting are fluttering, like a fairy descending to earth, but if you add the flowers of Luoying, then this painting is really alive!
I couldn't help but cast an appreciative eye at Xiao Wan'er, his vision was really unique and insightful. It's just that I didn't expect that even at this time, he was still testing me.
It is not difficult to paint this falling flower, but the falling flowers are fragrant and intoxicating in April, which requires the fiction of the peach blossom scenery here, which is a very common technique in art, but it is very different from the requirements of this real painting.
If I draw falling flowers, then this work will definitely become a masterpiece, but I may lose my qualification for this competition;
If I don't paint, this painting will be substandard, although it may not be compared with others, but for the creator, it will be a pity!
I couldn't help but laugh bitterly, this hundred gold and painting a small bowl is what I want, and painting this picture is also what I want, and I can't have both, how to choose?
Alas, that's it, that's it, I don't want to have regrets in my heart in the future!
Hundreds of gold can be obtained again, and the mind of wanting to paint a small bowl will not change lightly, in this case, what else is there to scruple about?!
Immediately lifted the brush, only to find that Xiaowan'er had already helped me adjust the paint of the color and put it aside, so in his mind, do you want me to paint, or don't you want it?
With this question in mind, I spent the rest of my time dotting the flowers with the flowers......
The world is full of flowers in April, leaving only a little sorrow.
After painting the falling flowers, I inscribed the painting with the name of the painting, wrote the promotion, and wrote the date and signature below, and finally took out my favorite and precious Tianhuang stone engraving from the pencil case, it can be said that the most valuable thing on my body is the seal engraved by this extremely precious Huangtian stone, which has another identity of me as a painter!
I was so happy that I was able to finish this painting, and even though the engraving in my hand was a little different from usual, I didn't pay too much attention to it, and dyed the engraving with cinnabar, and left a large seal on the inscription!
At this time, the gong sounded, and the competition ended......
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and now it seems that the victory or defeat doesn't mean much to me anymore. Stretched out my hand and wiped the beads of sweat on my face, but I didn't notice that my hand was either stained with ink or dyed.
The small bowl next to him looked funny, came over and stretched out his hand to stop me from continuing to wipe it, and said softly:
"Stop wiping, you nerd!"
After speaking, he took out a white silk handkerchief out of nowhere, and then carefully wiped it for me.
I looked at his attentive appearance, and my heart was indescribably comfortable and peaceful, for some reason, he had this ability, no matter how impatient and frantic my mood was, as long as I could hear him say a word or two to me gently, my heart would immediately become as calm as water.
Seeing that the paint on my face was wiped clean, the small bowl took my hand, stuffed the white silk handkerchief into my hand, and then walked away lightly.
He asked me to wipe the ink and paint off my hands!
I was wondering why the little bowl was holding a white silk handkerchief, and it was extremely difficult to wash the ink and paint on it, so should I wash the silk handkerchief and return it to him?
Inadvertently, Chen Yuanwai and a few judges walked down from the viewing platform to comment on the paintings, and happened to come to my side.
In a hurry, I hid the silk handkerchief handed to me in my arms, and then stepped aside for a few judges to comment on the painting.
When several judges saw this painting, they showed incredible expressions on their faces, and they couldn't help but nod their heads in appreciation, even Wei Xian couldn't help but look at me twice, but I didn't expect that there would be many people in the painting world recently!
"Wonderful, this work should be excellent!"
Someone couldn't help but praise and gave it directly.
The selection of paintings is divided into three grades from top to bottom, superior, pertinent, and inferior.
I raised my eyebrows faintly, and when I saw the changes on the faces of some of them, I knew that things would never be this simple.
It is said that the insight of the world is all knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article.
Why do I dress up as a middle-aged man who looks like he is in his thirties or forties, not only to hide his identity, but also to save face for some people. If I am a young and lowly scholar, with such outstanding talents, it will be a pleasure to meet Bole, but if I meet a person who is jealous and jealous, it will be a disaster!
It's not once or twice that I have seen students who were originally very talented have been suppressed and humiliated by others, and since then they have been in a state of collapse and lost their original talents......
This is not uncommon in officialdom, let alone at this time?
Sure enough, after a good voice, some people put forward a different opinion.
"It's a pity, it's a pity, if you don't have this falling flower, you can afford to be this superior!"
I knew it would be like this, and the little bowl next to me seemed to be a little indignant, and wanted to go up and reason with the man, but I stopped him.
Logically speaking, the role of real painting is indeed my fault, and it is understandable that it will be criticized in this way; but in terms of feelings, I like this work very much, and I think that it is a very great thing to be able to paint it, so why should I care about what others say? More importantly, someone knows how to appreciate it.
I smiled and looked at the little bowl next to me, and it seemed that he liked this painting very much, and that's it!
"Superior!"
Wei Xian, who had been silent beside him, suddenly expressed his opinion, and then looked at me with a look of relief and bowed to me, I was a little flattered and hurriedly returned the salute.
"Hehe, I really didn't expect to meet Xiaoyaosheng here, it's better to meet than to be famous!"
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised, this person is the new star in the art world recently, the talented man who is good at painting the painting of customs?!
Chen Yuanwai was also overjoyed when he heard it, and he was busy looking at the red seal in the painting, which knew that this person was Xiaoyaosheng, and couldn't help but feel a little more affection for this person, and hurriedly called the servant to explain a few words, and then watched the servant run away in a hurry!
"The villain can have a glimpse of Wei Xian's demeanor waiting for the edict, which is enough to comfort his life!"
After saying that, the two of us looked at each other and smiled.
"I don't know if my brother is interested in entering my drawing academy, with your talent, you will definitely be able to win the favor of the saints, and your achievements in the future will be limitless!"
I know that Wei Xian is really a love talent, for painters, becoming a royal painter is the highest honor, he can really recommend me, it can be seen that Wei Xian is indeed a humble gentleman.
I bowed, thanked Wei Xian for his kindness, and declined with a smile:
"The villain is used to being rude, and the paintings on weekdays are also scribbled casually, and it is difficult to get into the elegant hall!"
I said this, Wei Xian knew, I had no intention of career, he smiled back and said that he would no longer force me.
When the other people around me saw that Wei Xian was courteous to me, they all looked at me differently, and even those who had just raised objections suddenly changed their words and praised my paintings as excellent works in unison.
The corners of my mouth twitched a little, and I couldn't figure out if there was any need to continue this competition.
Just when everyone was about to finalize me as the leader of the competition, a young and beautiful girl suddenly ran over, completely devoid of the behavior that a lady should have, Xu was in a hurry, and a little out of breath, went straight to Chen Yuanwai's side, and said:
"Daddy, daddy, where is Xiaoyaosheng now?"
This girl is actually the daughter of the Chen family who is treated like a jewel outside Chen Yuanwai - Chen Xiaoyu?!
I suddenly felt a headache, the bag on my head had not disappeared, how could I still stand the toss of this Chen Xiaoyu, so frightened that I immediately fled behind Xiaowan'er.
Chen Yuanwai saw that his daughter ran out without any scruples, and he really lost the reserve and etiquette that his daughter's family should have. was about to reprimand her a few words, but was softened by his daughter's voice of continuous pleading, he knew how his precious daughter admired Xiaoyaosheng's talent, so after knowing that this person was Xiaoyaosheng, he immediately sent someone to tell his daughter the good news.
"That's Xiaoyaosheng!"
Chen Xiaoyu followed his father's gaze and saw me hiding behind Xiaowan'er at a glance, I kept avoiding Chen Xiaoyu's gaze with a little weakness, and muttered in my heart, this young lady won't see that she is the bold and peeping at her, right?
If this thing is revealed, it will be a big hole in the sky!
"You're a free-spirited?!"
Listening to Chen Xiaoyu's tone, he seemed to be a little unconvinced.
I was secretly happy in my heart, it seemed that this Miss Chen didn't recognize me, and the big stone in my heart suddenly fell halfway.
That's right, I look like a bearded wild man now, Miss Chen naturally can't recognize me!
coughed twice, raised his head and strode forward, and said in a straight voice:
"It's Xiaoyaosheng down there!"
Xiao Wan'er hid behind him when he saw me for a while, and then he pretended to be here for a while, looking at me with a look of sitting and watching a good show, which made me sweat a little.
Chen Xiaoyu walked up to me, suddenly stretched out his hand, and said:
"Since you're a freelife, let me see your mark!"
Listening to Miss Chen's tone, it is because I have to look at my engraving to believe that I am a free life, hehe, what's so difficult about this, just show it to her!
After speaking, he handed the seal to Chen Xiaoyu.
Chen Xiaoyu ordered someone to take a piece of drawing paper, and then put the big seal on the paper, and engraved the four characters "Xiaoyao Shengyin" in small seal font on the paper......
I looked up and found that the paper was a work I had drawn before, and there were seals I had left on it, and I saw that after this Miss Chen compared the two seals with each other, she stared at me with a look of resentment, and then said loudly:
"You're not a free life at all, you're an impostor!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and the most shocking thing was that I, who was accused of being an impostor!
