"It's almost time for people to get there, it's time to get down to business. Old Man Wenxin looked at the time, it would be half past seven.

"Before you know it's so late, let's start first, I'm afraid some people are already impatient. Haha......"

As the organizer of this gathering, Sima Lao Ghost said, "Blame me, blame me!" This chat is easy to forget about business. Let's go, let's go to the front yard and see everyone's work. ”

The group came to the courtyard under the leadership of Sima Lao Ghost.

The courtyard has long been filled with screens, each of which has more or less one or two pieces of calligraphy.

"Where do you think it's better to start?" the old ghost Sima glanced at everyone present.

"Let's start on the left, clockwise, according to the old rules. ”

Sima Old Ghost thought about it, felt that it was feasible, and was about to speak, but felt that the corner of his clothes was pulled by Sima Haoran.

"Stinky boy, what are you doing?"

Sima Haoran leaned close to his grandfather's ear and whispered, "Grandpa, it's too boring for you to do this every time, I have a good idea." ”

The old man Wenxin stood next to the old ghost Sima, and when he heard this, he immediately became interested, "Haoran is right, every time it is really boring like this." Do you have any good ideas, let's hear them. ”

When the old ghost Sima saw that the old man Wenxin said this, he glared at Sima Haoran fiercely, just your kid will come to trouble. If you can't tell why, see how I clean you up when I go back.

Sima Haoran confidently handed his grandfather a reassuring look.

"There are dozens of works here, one by one, and it takes a bit of time to comment on me. Why don't we do it another way today. ”

"Tell me, boy, in what way?" said one of the old men.

"I think this time we can choose how we want to vote. ”

"Sounds pretty good, what kind of voting method?" asked the old man Wenxin.

Sima Haoran's eyes glanced at Chen Chen intentionally or unintentionally.

"Each of us has ten votes in our hands, and you uncles and uncles can choose the calligraphy works they think are good to vote for, and finally select the ten works with the most votes, and everyone will taste them together. The top three will be selected. ”

The old man Wenxin clapped his hands and said, "Yes, Haoran's idea is good, you can give it a try." Recently, I just got a good material, and whoever wins will help him customize an inkstone. ”

"Second Wenxin, what you said is true, you can't go back!" said Sima Lao Ghost first.

"When I speak doesn't count. "Sima Lao Ghost thinks that his stone is not a day or two, can he still not know?

"Since the first place has a lottery, the second and third places should not be missing. Since I, Sima Lao Ghost, am the organizer of this time, I will come out. For the second place, I will take a piece of fragrant ink, and for the third place, I will give him a piece of rice paper produced by 'Boya Xuan'. ”

With a wave of his hand, the old ghost Sima pointed at an employee and said, "You, it's you! Go and get the Go pieces I left here." This time, we will use chess pieces to cast pieces, ten pieces per person, and the time limit is half an hour. ”

Sima Haoran glanced at Chen Chen proudly, he was spurred by his grandfather to write a good poem since he was a child. Although it is not as good as other uncles and uncles, it is definitely one of the best among the juniors.

He couldn't compete for the top few places, but he was confident that he would be in the top 10. When the time comes, he is chosen, but Chen Chen is not chosen, which will definitely make the goddess look at him with admiration.

Sima Haoran's thoughts, Chen Chen didn't notice it at all, even if he noticed his personality, he wouldn't take it to heart. He likes calligraphy, never to compare with others, but it is also a good thing for him to be able to learn from his predecessors.

On the other hand, Xu Qing is not so calm, Chen Chen is now regarded as her person. Others didn't know that she and Old Man Wenxin knew Chen Chen's abilities very well. With Chen Chen's ability, it is no problem to become one of the ten places, but if Chen Chen wants to get the lottery, she is still a little worried.

In her heart, Chen Chen is the best, and of course she hopes that he can win the first place.

Soon the staff took out the chess pieces, 10 pieces per person, and after half an hour, everyone finished throwing the chess pieces in their hands.

"Miss Xu, I don't know if you voted for someone?"

With his ability, the goddess will definitely vote for him. When the mystery is revealed, if she knows that he wrote it, the goddess will definitely look at him. Sima Haoran thought like this in his heart, and the corners of his mouth had to show a smile that he was determined to win.

Xu Qing was uneasy, he didn't know how many chess pieces Chen Chen had, and when he heard Sima Haoran's question, he didn't think about it carefully at all, but just said perfunctorily, "I don't remember it very well." What about Mr. Sima?"

Sima Haoran showed a smile like a beautiful son, as if everything was under control.

"I think one of them is very well written, and I don't know which one wrote it. ”

"Poof!"

Chen Chen laughed directly, this kid is so funny. There is a hairpin in it, it's not Xu Qing, can it still be written by those big men.

Sima Haoran's whole face turned black directly.

Xu Qing also reacted at this time, the other party was patting her ass. was laughed at by Chen Chen, his face was full of redness, and he was very embarrassed.

"Mr. Sima is really joking. I'm writing well, but it's still a lot worse than the others. ”

Sima Haoran didn't achieve his goal, and glared at the culprit fiercely.

Mr. Chen smiled like this, and seemed to be very confident in his work. I don't know if Chen Chen has the confidence to compete for the lottery. When Sima Haoran said this, he was completely talking back.

He had learned about it just now, this Chen Chen is the planning director of a public relations company, and he is a bit talented, but he is limited to the public relations industry. Whether it is family background or ability, he Sima Haoran dumped him eighteen streets.

The sarcasm in his words, how could Chen Chen not hear it, I saw him smile elegantly, and said modestly: "Mr. Sima is really a winner, I don't have confidence in the lottery, but I have no problem with these ten places." ”

Sima Haoran's smile stiffened, he was really confident, and he was not afraid that the wind would flash to his tongue.

"It seems that Mr. Chen is very confident, we must have a good taste and tasting later, maybe Chen Chen can compete for the prize. ”

Chen Chen arched his hand, "Then I'll borrow your auspicious words." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Sima Haoran's mouth twitched slightly. Chen Chen is sick, he didn't hear such an obvious sarcasm.

Xu Qing was so focused on the result that he didn't notice the sword light and sword shadow between the two men.

I hope you will still laugh later, Sima Haoran gestured to Chen Chen with his eyes, and the hostility in his eyes was undisguised.

When he Chen Chen was afraid, he will see for himself later.

This is the voice of the old man Wenxin.

"Ten entries were selected. ”

The people who had spread out in the courtyard gathered in the middle. In the middle of the courtyard are five or six screens displaying the ten calligraphy pieces that received the most votes.

Sima Haoran held his head high, waiting for this to accept the worship and reverence from the goddess. He stood in the middle, his hands behind his back, and his face was a mysterious and unfathomable look.

He seemed to see himself standing in the middle of the crowd, with a bright chandelier above his head, and the bright light sprinkled from the top of his head, hitting his body, and the whole person seemed to radiate light.

Surrounded by the appreciative glances and approving words of the uncles and uncles. The most important thing is that Miss Xu looked at herself with a look of adoration, and her eyes were full of stars. And he, Chen Chen, hid in the corner, and he was inferior and didn't dare to face his gaze.

Haha, it feels so cool!

This kind of self-confidence is only possessed by Sima Haoran.

Xu Qing's exclamation came out of his ears, and the smile on Sima Haoran's face became brighter and brighter.

"Wow! Chen Chen, look at you. Isn't that your calligraphy? I knew you could do it, but I didn't expect you to be so good that you could get third. ”

What the?!

Sima Haoran had an expression of being kicked by a donkey, couldn't believe his ears, and immediately opened his eyes. His eyes quickly swept over the ten works in the middle.

How could it be, this must be a mistake!

How could it be that there was no work of his? He was very confident in his calligraphy ability. His handwriting, but he has been practicing under his grandfather's yellow wattle for more than ten years, and he writes better than many uncles and uncles, how can he not have him.

Xu Qing was about to die of joy, as if Chen Chen's lottery was even better than her own. She excitedly took Chen Chen's hand and pointed to Chen Chen's works with a smile.

Why is this girl so happy!Chen Chen shook his head helplessly.

Sima Haoran walked to the front without giving up, looked at other people's chess pieces, and especially took a special look at the one Xu Qing said. After reading it, he found his calligraphy and carefully checked the number of chess pieces inside.

How could it be? How could he have so much more than him? Sima Haoran had no ashes on his face, and his whole body was stunned on the spot.

Old Ghost Sima had long known that this kid would be hit. His grandson is good at everything, but he is a little rigid and conceited. If it is good, it is called arrogance, and if it is ugly, it is called no one.

"Hey-I told you a long time ago to be humble, you must know that there are many people in this world who are more talented than you and better than you. ”

Sima Haoran looked up at his grandfather blankly, "Grandpa, my writing is no worse than Chen Chen, why don't you choose me?"

"Haoran, if you just look at the pen strength and glyphs, your writing is indeed not bad, and it is even exactly the same as the calligraphy I gave you. But here's the problem, calligraphy is the same thing as painting tigers. It is difficult to draw the skin of a tiger and the bones, and the same is true for calligraphy. Although you copy it very similarly, you lack spine. ”

Sima Haoran looked at the picture of Xu Qing and Chen Chen falling in love with each other in disappointment, and felt that he had received 10,000 heavy blows. He's so big, he's got what he wants. The first time I met the woman I liked, I didn't expect to be struck by lightning instead of pretending to be forced.

"Haoran, you are the future head of the Sima family. You have to understand the truth that too rigid is easy to break. ”

This is the purpose of Sima Laogui's gathering of calligraphy lovers, and Chen Chen is what he prepared to beat Sima Haoran.

The four major families of Xiao, Feng, Sima, and Jiang seem to be calm, but in fact they are turbulent, not to mention that there is a Ye family secretly eyeing them. The whisper of the old ghost Sima came from the wind.

"There aren't many quiet days left......"
