Chapter 24: Indecision
The two shut up, and Lin Shaowei on the stage had already stood beside Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang has white hair and beard, a long gown, although he wears white copper crystal glasses, but his eyes are bright, he also stood up in the introduction, first greeted the prince, and then greeted everyone.
Then he gave a brief introduction to the jury and the representatives of the art fair members on the stage, and then said: "Bright painting." ”
As his words landed, everyone's eyes focused on the three display shelves in the center.
Three people stepped forward at the same time, and with a wave of his arm, they all lowered the scroll.
The top three works selected by the country appeared in front of everyone, which immediately caused a wave of admiration and admiration.
But seeing that in the center of the painting "A Thousand Autumns" is awe-inspiring, magnificent, vigorous and powerful, looking at it is intimidating, and those who know how to know it will know at a glance that if there are no years of skill, it will not reach this level.
Even He Chushu secretly said to Siqing: "If I paint, I can't compare to this." ”
The "Lonely Shadow Under the Moon" on the right is completely opposite to the painting of Fang Cai, it has a graceful temperament, the background is hazy, only the smile of the person in the painting is like a real person reappearing, and the little resentment in the eyes hits the heart, it is actually a little bit worse in the meaning of the theme, more shows sadness rather than emptiness, but it is better than the delicate brush, and the portrayal is profound.
At that time, the jury chose it on the grounds that calligraphy and painting were like essays, and although the content was an important factor in attracting people, good brushwork could also make the plain plot fascinating.
On the left is Siqing's "Monument of Hope", which is also a very controversial painting, but it is excellent in terms of subject matter and resonance.
Wang Lao asked Prince Gong to watch the trial, and Prince Gong said that he was a layman, and he came today to do a notarization, or to listen to the old man's opinion, and politely invited him to join him.
The two of them carefully examined the three paintings together, in fact, these paintings have been seen by the king for a long time, and he has a certain number in his heart, but in front of everyone, the process still has to be completed according to the appearance.
After looking at it carefully, he pointed to the "Thousand Autumns" picture in the center without any suspense, and said loudly: "I think this painting is ......."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Shaowei suddenly got a piece of news, hurriedly ran to the stage, and whispered a few words to him.
He was stunned when he heard this: "Retire?"
"Yes, the old gentleman said that he was just running for fun, and he didn't want to compete with the juniors, but he knew that his painting was selected, so he specially asked someone to inform me, saying that he was leaving the opportunity for others. ”
Wang Lao looked back at the painting silently, nodded and said, "Since Mr. has a request, then he will go down." ”
Lin Shaowei immediately went to the stage, and explained the ins and outs of the future briefly, although everyone was surprised, but they could also understand, after all, this temporary withdrawal was the author's indifference to fame and fortune after becoming famous, not that he couldn't afford to escape from the battle.
In this way, only two paintings remained, left and right.
"Half of the odds, maybe we have a chance. Huai An said excitedly.
Siqing didn't have much confidence: "That person's skills are indeed better than mine, and besides, isn't it still that there is no controversy that this painting will enter the final evaluation, how can I compare?"
"Not necessarily. He Chushu replied to her, "The jury values penmanship skills, but Wang Lao attaches more importance to understanding, since he is a member of the art fair, he will definitely pay attention to the potential in the future, don't be in a hurry to be arrogant, let's see." ”
That being said, Siqing still can't believe that her painting can win the championship, of course, this is not a championship, after all, the real number one has already withdrawn.
But what everyone is looking at is still the official ranking, so the results are still very important.
"Moreover, at this point, you are already very good, whether you win the championship or not, someone will know about you, isn't it worth being happy?" He Chushu said again.
Siqing responded yes, but she was still uneasy in her heart.
Based on her thoughts, Meng Ting, who had never spoken, felt empathy in his heart, and he said softly: "Maybe what the fourth sister wants is not a name, but just the approval of her family." ”
In a word, she sighed softly.
Cheng Yiheng leaned over to Meng Ting'an and interjected: "Why do you value your family's thoughts so much, their opinions will not be fair, in their eyes, either you are good at everything, bad or ...... It's just that nothing is good, they can find fault with everything you do, so why bother?"
Meng Tingan looked sideways and said: "What Cheng Gongzi said is extremely true. ”
These words have almost become his mantra, and Cheng Yiheng obviously wanted to continue the discussion, but was ended by this sentence.
When the conversation stopped, the people on the stage spoke.
Wang Lao said loudly: "My choice - "Wangbei". ”
Several people were overjoyed in an instant, and they couldn't believe their ears.
Half of it, no, it's half of it, didn't the prince say that he would basically follow the advice of professionals?
They were concerned and waited for Prince Gong to make the final assessment.
Wang Lao immediately saluted Prince Gong: "Please also ask the prince to decide." ”
"The old gentleman is polite, and the king admires the gentleman's vision. Prince Gong said, walked to the center of the stage, placed a desk in front of the exhibition shelf, spread red paper, pen and ink on the side, just wait for the selection to be decided, and the prince will personally write the name of the top work and the name of the author to write an announcement.
He stood still in front of the desk, glanced up at the crowd, and paused, the hand that was about to take the pen.
coughed and said, "This king thinks that the ...... What shadow is better that month. ”
"Huh?" Siqing looked at each other, and his heart sank and rose, and he rose and sank.
Everyone on and off the stage watched intently, some were secretly curious, and some were secretly happy.
Wang Lao was unexpected, and hurriedly bowed down and asked the reason.
Where did Prince Gong know the reason, but someone waved at him and didn't allow him to choose the painting of the Meng family's girl.
He hesitated for a while, and casually changed a set of rhetoric in the officialdom, saying it in a high-sounding manner, and his head was the truth.
But it has nothing to do with painting.
His words obviously could not convince Mr. Wang, this senior in the painting world is highly respected, and now he has reached the age of doing what he wants, and he is unwilling to compromise on this, and he analyzed the two paintings from a professional point of view, only to say that the stage and the audience nodded yes again and again, and there was no objection.
And look at the prince, he didn't listen to it at all.
The prince only watched someone speak in his eyes, where can he care about anything else?
He still had to stick to his choice, but because the two disagreed, the list couldn't be written for a while.
Under the attention of everyone, it is better to let this old Mr. Wang follow his wishes.
He can't analyze the paintings in an all-round way, he can only tell Wang Lao about the court in an all-round way, for example, now that the emperor has grown up and has his own ideas, for example, the emperor has a playful temperament and will go out of the palace, for example, the emperor may be looking at them now.
His words were whispers, Wang Lao lived for a long time, and when he heard it, he understood, his face changed, he thought about it several times, and he thought that he couldn't catch the entire art fair, so he had to compromise: "Then listen to the prince." ”
So, Prince Gong came to the case again.
Seeing that the audience had changed their minds, they wondered, didn't they still speak eloquently just now?
Someone behind him was suspicious: "It seems that the prince has just received some order, and it is too strange." ”
This was in line with Huai'an's thoughts, he looked back at the man in agreement, and then looked left and right, hoping to get more approval, on the left was his own person, he touched the child's head on the right, and said, "He's right, don't you say?"
The boy squinted, and out of nowhere, a few people appeared and pushed him away, protecting the boy in the middle.
Huai An stared at him suspiciously for a while, and said with a smile: "Your shelf is quite big, which big man's baby pimple?"
The corners of the other party's mouth hooked, and he sneered: "You are Meng Huai'an?"
"You know me?"
"Your sister painted that picture above?"
"You answer the previous question first!"
The other party ignored him, shook the fan, and slowly moved away from them surrounded by several people.
Huai'an had to move his mind back to the stage with doubts.
And Prince Gong didn't put pen to paper.
Someone else came up to the stage and whispered something to him, his face changed at a visible speed, and he quickly stretched his neck to look ahead, and then his pupils dilated suddenly, and his knees almost bent again.
Immediately, he closed his gaze, took a deep breath, and said with a bitter face: "This king suddenly feels that it is better than Meng's "Wangbei". ”
This caused another uproar.
Mr. Wang was instantly relaxed, and his words were still moved: "Lord Wang." ”
It's really rare to be so afraid of power and just let really good works come out.
Siqing stroked her chest, her heart had risen and fallen several times, and now she was lifted again, but she felt that she couldn't stand it anymore.
However, before his heart could be stabilized, Prince Nagong looked at the audience, but changed his mind again: "No, no, no, it's better to "Ghost Under the Moon". He didn't even remember the name of the painting.
This is not the point, he changed his words again, and even Lin Shaowei, who is in charge of the overall situation, doesn't know how to calm everyone's opinions.
But for a moment, he looked forward again.
On the second floor of the drunken tea hall opposite, there were also people who were smiling and looking over, the agate-inlaid finger guard reflected a silver teacup in his hand, drinking calmly.
He hurriedly said: "Let's choose "Wangbei". ”
looked at the audience again, and said: "It's still "Ghost". ”
"No, no, no......"
……
Everyone had stopped talking, staring at him silently with wide eyes.
At this time, the people on the drunken tea hall had already put down the teacup, looked at the crowd of people in the Jiyue Building, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Huai'an has grown so big." ”
After that, he beckoned to the people around him: "Don't let Yan'er mess around, call him over." ”
But the person she called didn't come.
Over there, Prince Gong was still undecided.
This person sighed silently, and said a few words to the people around him, and the other party listened, and immediately came to Jiyue Tower, pulled Prince Gong, secretly conveyed his will, and then walked into the crowd of people.
After he left, Huai'an glanced at it and saw that the child with the huge shelf was also gone.
Seeing that Prince Gong was about to be amnestied, he suddenly relaxed, wiped the sweat on his head, and said with a long breath: "That's right, this king believes that if a good work has the value of being handed down, it must be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, not only the professional evaluation of the industry, but also the evaluation of outsiders with their eyes, and what can be recognized by the common is the real good thing." ”
His thoughts suddenly became clear, Wang Lao was still looking at him, obviously, this passage is just an opening statement, and the next is the "highlight", anyway, today's selection has been mixed up by him into a child's play, and the profession can't be talked about, so he has to wait and see, but fortunately, these two paintings are not bad, no matter which one is chosen, it is not too contrary to his will.
Sure enough, I heard the prince say again: "This king suggests that this decision should be handed over to the people present, what do you think?"
Everyone on the stage unanimously agreed: "This proposal is very good, but it is up to the prince to decide." ”
However, there are exceptions, Mr. Wang worried: "There are many people in the audience today, if you ask one by one, I am afraid that it will take too much time." ”
"This king has already thought, the ancients asked the hexagram, only one hexagram was taken in the gossip, no matter the good or the bad are no longer explored, this belief in the destiny of heaven is also the subtlety of the mystic way, today we can also follow suit, only choose one person at random among the crowd, this person but according to his own preferences, choose which, is which!"
After speaking, he looked around with anticipation, facing the stunned crowd on the stage, he raised his head and said, "I think, this method is very good, you should have no objections, right?"
