Zhong Yue had already bought a high-speed rail ticket to Shaoxing, but on the eve of his departure, Kang Min called and asked Zhong Yue to make a chartered bus with Huamei calligraphy students, saying that it was the unified regulations of the school, and Zhong Yue, who was an exchange student, had no choice but to refund the ticket.

Taking the bus from Shanghai to Shaoxing is really not as cost-effective and convenient as taking the high-speed rail directly, but the school has to be like this, Zhong Yue doesn't care, so he prepared his things and went back to school. In the early winter, the fallen leaves on the campus are desolate, and the remnants of lotus in the small lotus pond are full of desolation. Zhong Yue carried the leather box and got on the school bus, his eyes swept away, and more than a dozen people in the car stared at him, which made him a little uncomfortable.

"Zhong Yue, come. Sit here. The old man was dressed modestly, straddled a leather bag, wore a blue sports jacket, and wore a little yellow hat that he didn't know where to get it.

Zhong Yue saw an old man sitting behind the two leading teachers, looking interested, waving to him, but he was embarrassed to turn a blind eye, so he could only sit next to the old man, "Hello teacher, I'm an exchange student, Zhong Yue, it's ...... Kang."

"I know, I'm Liu Tong from the academy. ”

Zhong Yue didn't know this old man very well, shook hands with him, and reacted, "Teacher Liu, hello." ”

The juniors and seniors sitting in the back of the car and the graduate students suddenly looked strange, Mr. Liu?

A middle-aged teacher turned his head, "Professor Liu is a professor of our Huamei calligraphy and seal carving department, and this time he specially mentioned it to Principal Kang, I am afraid that you will not find a place, so I specially asked you to go with all of us." ”

"Oh, Professor Liu, that's bothering you. ”

Liu Tong smiled, "Don't worry." There are a few empty seats on the school bus, and it is also a little more reassuring to go back and forth in a unified manner. These behind you are your seniors. ”

Zhong Yue turned his head and nodded to everyone, "Hello everyone." ”

"Hello, hello. ”

Everyone has never seen it, so they just said hello and it was perfunctory.

"How's the preparation?"

Zhong Yue put the leather box in place, and when he heard Liu Tong's greeting, he replied, "Oh, I brought everything I should have brought this time." "In case there is any flaw in the game, this time Zhong Yue even brought a piece of felt. The high-quality felt, flat and uniform, white and soft, elastic, the most important thing is that when the ink is more, it will not run the ink, and it has the effect of supporting the ink and absorbing the ink, which greatly reflects the good performance of dehydration and ink retention. In this way, the calligraphy and painting works will not be dissolved because of the ink.

Liu Tong smiled: "I'm not asking you this, I'm asking you, how are you preparing for the game?"

There were a few students chatting in the back, and when they heard Liu Tong ask, they suddenly laughed in their hearts, and now they are probably going to be educated.

Zhong Yue's book, although in the Shanghai cultural circle, a little famous, but after all, limited to a small part, the reputation of the Xiling Printing Society, not so much that every time a book is launched, it is like a news broadcast, everyone knows, and it is only some high-level Xiling people and people who pay more attention to the book world to understand, including Liu Tong, or later, when the meeting was held, a professor in the school who was on temporary duty in Xiling, took out the book, and he only knew about it.

"Competition, you have to prepare okay......" Zhong Yue said perfunctorily. He didn't have any preparation at all, calligraphy was not for the purpose of the competition after all, Zhong Yue had been looking for an opportunity to break through for more than a month, but this breakthrough was too big, he didn't know how to break through, at least at the current level, it was too difficult to improve.

The teacher who was sitting in the front row turned his head and chatted freely, "You don't know how much Professor Liu attaches importance to this competition this year, originally such a competition, over the years are led by ordinary teachers from our college, this year Professor Liu specially proposed to accompany him to tutor, I hope you must play your best in the game." ”

There was no excitement or excitement from below. Judging from the information Zhong Yue learned, Huamei's results in the national competition in previous years were not outstanding. Although Huamei is ranked third among the nine major art academies in China, the calligraphy major is not a strong point, which is why Kang Min wanted to pull Zhong Yue to Huamei and hoped that he would join the calligraphy department.

It's just that it backfired, Zhong Yue joined the Department of Chinese Painting, not to mention, and now he is not in school for three days, and it is troublesome to even find someone, but he can't manage it too much, the freshman calligraphy and painting exhibition, the works on the "Dragon Head Painting Exhibition", are still on display, the stone method, exquisite, and has already had the spirit of great success, if the east is not bright and the west is bright, then Kang Min is also happy to see.

Nowadays, the nine major art academies and the northern division are naturally led by the four major universities of CAFA, Huaqing, Jingbei and Jinmei, while the East China division is represented by the two major art academies of Gome and Huamei. As for South China, it is led by Humei and Guangmei, in addition, there is also a university in the Southwest of the Western Academy of Fine Arts, collectively known as the Nine Academies of Fine Arts, of course, the whole of China, far more than these nine academies of fine arts, but relatively famous.

What Zhong Yue currently understands is that it has a strong position in calligraphy, but it is not the universities within the nine art academies, but the calligraphy department of Southwest Jiaotong University is the first in China. As for the entire East China Division, it may be the calligraphy department of Gome and Huamei, which can barely be seen, which is why Huamei participates in the national competition every year and can't get any good rankings, because the entire East China region is a foil!

Even if the short man is tall, he will be the first and second prize in the competition area by Gome, not to mention the strong universities in the Southwest Division and the North China Division, which is simply cannon fodder!

What Zhong Yue learned, these gorgeous calligraphy students, naturally understood more clearly, so no matter how enthusiastic the teachers were to lead the team, they were indifferent.

The school bus went back and forth, although it was unified and safe, but whether it was speed or comfort, it was not as comfortable as the high-speed rail, and it was bumpy for a few hours, and finally arrived at the ancient town of Shaoxing - Anchang.

After everyone got off the bus, Professor Liu said: "If Mr. Zhang and Mr. Ma led the team, I would definitely not bring you here, but I have always advocated unrestrained, the game is tomorrow, so this afternoon, everyone is free to move, have fun in the ancient town, don't wait until tomorrow when the game is played, it will be like you have just been in the car, and you will be deflated." ”
