Chapter 156: Painting Competition

At the end of the competition, Gong Qi ordered thirty-one palace maids to display the paintings one by one in front of the judges, and the nine judges each selected the best paintings they thought. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After some judging, the judges unanimously selected a work with exquisite painting and beautiful artistic conception.

In the upper left of the painting, the inscription is "Heaven and Earth", and the upper right is painted with a beautiful fairy palace, the door is wide open, and there is no one. In the lower left, an ordinary farmhouse is depicted, and a pair of young men and women stand holding hands outside the house. There is no bridge in the painting, but there are countless magpies hovering around them.

Gonggong Qi asked the palace maid to hold up the scroll to show it to the audience, and announced: "This painting is the first place in the painting competition." The author of this painting is invited to show up. ”

There is no signature on the painting, but no one dares to impersonate it. As soon as Gonggong Qi's voice fell, he saw Zhou Lingwei slowly stand up and bend slightly to thank the judges on the high platform.

Zhou Changan saw that it was painted by Zhou Lingwei, and couldn't help but smile and nodded. looked at Jin Haoran again, and saw that the man in white was as white as snow, his eyes were deep, his lips were red and his teeth were white, his eyes were full of affection when he looked at Zhou Lingwei, and the smile on the corner of his lips was light and charming, which attracted the girls in the audience to look up to him obsessively.

Father-in-law Qi also bowed to Zhou Lingwei and said, "Third princess, please take a seat." ”

Zhou Lingwei sat down slowly, her expression was calm, and she was not shocked, but her heartbeat was beating wildly because of the meeting between Shicai and Jin Haoran's eyes.

Because the rules of this year's competition are different from previous years, only the judges need to choose the candidates in their minds, and the winner of a single game is not important, and the winner of the first piano competition has not been announced because of its own merits and opinions.

In the second chess competition, only Lin Wan answered alone, so there was no need to announce the answers.

For the sake of fairness, the third calligraphy competition and the fourth painting competition were not signed, so after the winners were selected, the authors were invited to meet with the public.

Now that the results of the fourth game have been announced, but the last game has not yet been results, Father-in-law Qi saw the eldest princess signaling to him, hurriedly walked to him, bowed down and asked, "Eldest princess, but has it been decided?"

Zhou Changying didn't answer, and ordered: "Let these three young ladies come forward and reply." As he spoke, he pointed to the three answer sheets on the table in front of him.

Father-in-law Qi said respectfully: "Yes, the slave obeys." ”

The three palace maids held up the three words respectively, first showed them to the judges for review, and then showed them to the audience.

Lin Wan raised her eyes and saw that the word "Sui" she wrote was in it, and the other word "Nuo", she didn't need to guess that it was written by Lu Manting, it was nothing more than wanting Zhou Tianqi to keep her promise, and she couldn't help but feel a little depressed in her heart, and frowned secretly.

After Gonggong Qi and the others read those three words, they preached loudly: "Please come forward and reply to the author of these three words, the eldest princess has something to ask you." ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience in the stadium looked at the players' seats. The style of those three words is completely different, but no one can say which one is better. The word "wish" has its own style and bones, the word "nuo" has another perseverance in the show, and the word "with" is elegant, but it has its own rules.

Lin Wan saw that Lu Manting really got up and walked to the middle of the field, but what she didn't expect was that Lu Manyi beside her also stood up. Lin Wan couldn't help but be a little curious, what did the word "wish" written by Lu Manyi mean? Lin Wan was the last to get up and follow behind the two of them in an orderly manner.

The three of them stood still, and bowed in unison.

"Excuse me, each of you should tell me which character you wrote and why you wrote it. Zhou Changying's voice was gentle, and he smiled slightly at the three women, smiling lovingly.

Lu Manting smiled at Lu Manyi beside her and said, "Sister, you can speak first." ”

Lu Manyi nodded, took a step forward, and lightly lifted her lips: "Little girl Lu Manyi, back to the eldest princess, the little girl wrote the word 'wish', which means 'the ends of the world, only wish for peace'." The voice is slightly hoarse, but there is a mature charm, and the eyes are far away, as if you really see the end of the sky and the corner of the sea.

Zhou Changying groaned slightly, nodded and said: "Well, it's a 'end of the world, I only wish Jun An'." Good, next. ”

Lu Manting took a step forward, slightly blessed, and her voice was crisp: "Manting has seen the eldest princess, and Manting wrote the word 'Nuo', a promise of a thousand gold." ”

Zhou Changying didn't know much about Lu Manting's thoughts, but when she said that she was a promise, her eyes stared straight at Zhou Tianqi, and she did not hide her affection and grief. looked at Zhou Tianqi again, but he didn't look at her at all, and his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he was displeased.

Zhou Changying remained silent and said coldly: "Next." ”

Lu Manting slowly bowed and took a step back, biting her lower lip, faintly feeling that the eldest princess didn't seem to want to see her, but she didn't know why.

Lin Wan saw that Zhou Changying was so cold to Lu Manting, but she had a good impression of the eldest princess in her heart, took a step forward, bowed generously, and said, "Little girl Lin Wan'er, I have seen the eldest princess." ”

Zhou Changying nodded, his face softened slightly, and asked, "Excuse me, what does your word 'Sui' mean?"

Lin Wan smiled slightly, her eyes were clear, and she said respectfully and politely: "Back to the eldest princess's words, Wan'er thinks that everyone will have a different interpretation when they see this word, everything is as you think." ”

Zhou Changying showed a loving smile on his face again, nodded and said: "What a 'everything you want', the words are good, and the meaning is good! Who did you learn your words from?"

Lin Wan replied obediently: "Back to the eldest princess, I learned it from my mother since I was a child. ”

Zhou Changying frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "You are Zhao Liniang's daughter?"

Lin Wan bowed his head and replied, "Exactly." ”

Zhou Changying smiled slightly, nodded and said, "No wonder, Zhao Liniang was one of the two talented women in the capital back then. However, your daughter didn't disgrace her, so good. As he spoke, he remembered another of the two talented girls in the capital, turned his head to look at Zhou Tianqi, and saw that his expression was calm, and this did not arouse his thoughts about his mother, but he was looking at Lin Wan'er with appreciation.

Lin Wanwan smiled and said with a humble attitude: "Wan'er is stubborn, she is ashamed of her mother's teachings, and if she can't learn from her mother, she just wants not to embarrass her mother." ”

Zhou Changying laughed and said, "What a naughty girl, your character is just right for the taste of this palace." You write well and have a unique style, but the heat is not enough. If you are really interested in calligraphy, you can often go to my eldest princess's mansion as a guest, and accompany my wife to write and talk. ”

Lin Wan was overjoyed when she heard this, knelt on the ground with a smile on her face, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, master! ”

Zhou Changying was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect Lin Wan to call the master so simply, but the words were said by herself, and it was not easy to refuse again, so she had to nod and said with a smile: "This matter can be discussed later, don't delay the competition, you all go back to the table." ”

When the three of them returned to the table, Lu Manting was full of sadness and unwillingness, and Lu Manyi was expressionless, as if it was none of her business. Lin Wan was very excited, this can be regarded as the biggest gain of today.

Father-in-law Qi walked up to Zhou Changying's side, bowed down and asked, "Eldest princess, may I ask which young lady won the result of this calligraphy competition?" )
