Chapter 176: Lost

Mr. Zhuang sat at a table with the painters from Hongyantang, listening to Mr. Ni's pretentious posture, he had already lost patience to listen, and he said: "Then please start! We are here to enjoy the calligraphy and paintings, not to join in the fun."

"This gentleman is right!" Mr. Ni said with a smile: "Then Ni will not delay your time, Ni will invite you to drink the silver for tea."

"Mr. Su, let's start selecting people now!" Mr. Ni turned to Su Jin and said. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Hmm!" Su Jin walked to the position next to Mr. Ni, Yan Qing, Feng Zicheng and Qing Song, and Zhuang Meng followed behind him.

Zhuang Luo stood on the painting table, keeping his head down, not daring to look directly at the dozens of unfamiliar faces in the audience.

"Master, Master, let's go back quickly!" he suddenly grabbed the master's sleeve and said.

At this moment, when the people on and off the stage heard that Hongyantang had a fool, they looked at each other, not understanding what tricks Hongyantang was playing?

As a painter, Mr. Zhuang couldn't teach him anything, so he was anxious for him for a while.

"Zhuang Gongzi doesn't have to be afraid of anything!" Yan Qing and Su Jin turned around, he let Zhuang Gongzi grab his sleeve, smiled and asked him: "Listen to your master, you have learned to paint airplanes?

"Okay, okay, the students will draw airplanes!" Zhuang Luo listened to his master's words, and suddenly relaxed, and he was so excited that he had forgotten where he was.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, hehe!

"Hehe! Hongyantang is really empty!" Mr. Ni shook his head and muttered, and said with a smile: "Mr. Su, you should choose first."

"Okay!" Su Jin was not humble, he saw the nine painters who came from the Shizun Art Gallery, all of them seemed to be experienced in painting.

They smiled back at Mr. Su and Mrs. Su, and then sorted from left to right: "I have seen Mr. Su in Xia Ye, Jiang, Qiao, He, Qin, Zhang, Tang, Yan, and Xiang."

"Su has seen you!" Su Jin replied.

"Wait!" Yan Qing had doubts in his heart and asked Mr. Ni, "I wonder if Mr. Ni is considered a candidate for the painting competition?"

"Count... Of course!" Mr. Ni didn't expect Mrs. Su to hit the abacus on his head, could it be that the nine painters he brought couldn't get into Mrs. Su's eyes?

"That's good!" Yan Qing smiled and said to her husband: "Husband, let's start choosing"

"Okay!" Su Jin nodded, the first person selected by the Shizun Art Gallery, he chose Mr. Ni, and then he chose Mr. Ye and Mr. Tang.

Mr. Yip is in his forties and fifties, and although he does not look smiling, he has a modest and polite demeanor.

And Mr. Tang is in his thirties, with a straightforward look on his face, and it is not difficult to see that he is a person who likes to look good.

The children listened to the persuasion of the teacher, and today the master and the teacher insisted on not taking them out to play, presumably with their own considerations.

They sent away the master and the teacher, and bolted the door of the private school, although it was not as good as the outside, but they could play as much as they wanted.

Su Jin and Yan Qing took a carriage to the gallery, only to see Uncle Feng and Qing Song busy in the hall.

They took the paintings and calligraphy and entered the gallery.

It just so happened that Aunt Li made a pot of tea and came out of the back hall, she hurriedly poured two hot teas and brought them to Mr. Su and Xiaoqing and said: "Come, warm your hands first and then drink! This time, the gallery feels like something is going on, and it can be regarded as Mr. Su's coming."

Aunt Li said jokingly.

Several of them couldn't help but laugh in unison, and Yan Qing said: "As long as Mr. Su nods and agrees, you can give the children a winter vacation, and the children can not only come to the gallery to play, but Mr. Su can also come to the gallery every day."

"That's a good idea!" They didn't understand what winter vacation was, but it sounded pretty good.

When Mr. Zhuang sent Zhuang to the gallery, he got out of the carriage and saw that the gallery was so lively and laughing, they entered the gallery, Mr. Zhuang saw that Mr. Su also came to the gallery, and asked with a smile: "Why did Mr. Su come to the gallery today? Don't you have to teach the children?"

Su Jin replied with a smile: "Because there is a painting competition today, the children are given a day off."

"Why didn't Zhuang hear about it, he missed the brocade painting contest last time, and he regretted it! I can't miss it again today!" Mr. Zhuang said with a smile.

"In today's painting competition, Zhuang Gongzi may participate!" Xiao Yu served tea to Mr. Zhuang and told him.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Mr. Zhuang was confused.

"That's right!" Yan Qing closed the accounts, walked out of the counter, and told Mr. Zhuang what happened yesterday word for word, and she continued: "We guess that the Shizun Art Museum will definitely choose Zhuang Gongzi to enter the competition."

"I see!" Mr. Zhuang understood: "In that case, Zhuang is not in a hurry to leave, and will go to Chunman Restaurant with you later, which can be regarded as a circumstantial evidence for you."

"Very good!" Su Jin said with a smile: "If Su and the insider are not selected for the competition, Zhuang Gongzi's competition will be very important."

"Hmm!" Thinking of this, Mr. Zhuang got up and said to the three or five painters in the hall: "Colleagues, you must have also heard what Mr. Su said about the painting competition, wait a minute, and ask all colleagues to go to Chunman Restaurant with Zhuang Mou, and make a circumstantial evidence for Hongyantang Art Gallery!

"Mr. Zhuang..."Su Jin was very grateful to Mr. Zhuang.

"Mr. Su doesn't need to say anything, according to Zhuang, those people are beyond their means!" Mr. Zhuang believes in the strength of Hongyantang.

When the painters present heard that there was not only a painting competition to watch, but also a free tea to drink, they came to Mr. Su and Mr. Zhuang and said, "We are willing to go to Chunman Restaurant and make a circumstantial evidence for Hongyantang"

"Okay!" Mr. Zhuang smiled and praised: "In this case, we won't wait for Mr. Su to go over together, without further ado, let's go to Chunman Restaurant first!

Driven by Mr. Zhuang, the painters followed Mr. Zhuang to Chunman Restaurant.

They had just been gone for a while.

A young man came to the gallery, he claimed to be from Chunman Restaurant, and it was Master Ni who instructed him to invite Mr. and Mrs. Su to go to the restaurant quickly.

Su Jin and Yan Qing learned that a painting table had been set up in the restaurant, so they left Xiaoyu and Aunt Li to take care of the gallery, and took Uncle Feng, Qingsong, and Zhuang Gongzi to the Chunman Restaurant.

Got there.

On the second floor on the east side of the restaurant, because of today's painting competition, nearly a dozen tables of painters sat in the audience, talking and laughing very lively.

"Presumably this is Mr. Su, right?"

As soon as Su Jin and Yan Qing stepped into the second floor on the east side, Mr. Ni saw them at a glance and greeted Su Jin politely with a smile.

"It's Su!" Su Jin smiled and said humbly: "I have admired Mr. Ni's name for a long time, and I am honored to meet Mr. Ni today."

"Hehe!" Mr. Ni said with great joy: "I heard that Mr. Su is gentle and courteous, and his painting skills are good, and he is Xie Yuan of this year's Autumn High School. Today, Ni also wants to see Mr. Su's painting skills."

"Mr. Ni has won the award!" Su Jin smiled politely: "I don't know when the painting competition will start?"

"Since Mr. Su and Mrs. Su are already here, let's start now!" Mr. Ni said, glancing at Mrs. Su.

Su Jin, Yan Qing, Feng Zicheng and others were invited to the painting table, and at the other end, a group of people from the Shizun Art Gallery also followed closely onto the painting stage.

Mr. Ni had something to say to the painters who came here to appreciate the face: "Everyone, please be quiet, Ni is here, thank you for coming here to watch today's painting competition, this is Mr. Su, I must have been to Qingyang Street Hongyan Hall to buy calligraphy and paintings, you already know his reputation, Mr. Su's painting skills are indeed good." Ni is not talented, I dare to hold this painting competition today, in order to understand the painting skills of Mr. Su and Hongyantang painters, I hope that everyone here will give us a fair and just evaluation, how about it?"

"Good!" the audience responded.

Mr. Zhuang sat at a table with the painters from Hongyantang, listening to Mr. Ni's pretentious posture, he had already lost patience to listen, and he said: "Then please start! We are here to enjoy the calligraphy and paintings, not to join in the fun."

"This gentleman is right!" Mr. Ni said with a smile: "Then Ni will not delay your time, Ni will invite you to drink the silver for tea."

"Mr. Su, let's start selecting people now!" Mr. Ni turned to Su Jin and said.

"Hmm!" Su Jin walked to the position next to Mr. Ni, Yan Qing, Feng Zicheng and Qing Song, and Zhuang Meng followed behind him.

Zhuang Luo stood on the painting table, keeping his head down, not daring to look directly at the dozens of unfamiliar faces in the audience.

"Master, Master, let's go back quickly!" he suddenly grabbed the master's sleeve and said.

At this moment, when the people on and off the stage heard that Hongyantang had a fool, they looked at each other, not understanding what tricks Hongyantang was playing?

As a painter, Mr. Zhuang couldn't teach him anything, so he was anxious for him for a while.

"Zhuang Gongzi doesn't have to be afraid of anything!" Yan Qing and Su Jin turned around, he let Zhuang Gongzi grab his sleeve, smiled and asked him: "Listen to your master, you have learned to paint airplanes?

"Okay, okay, the students will draw airplanes!" Zhuang Luo listened to his master's words, and suddenly relaxed, and he was so excited that he had forgotten where he was.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, hehe!

"Hehe! Hongyantang is really empty!" Mr. Ni shook his head and muttered, and said with a smile: "Mr. Su, you should choose first."

"Okay!" Su Jin was not humble, he saw the nine painters who came from the Shizun Art Gallery, all of them seemed to be experienced in painting.

They smiled back at Mr. Su and Mrs. Su, and then sorted from left to right: "I have seen Mr. Su in Xia Ye, Jiang, Qiao, He, Qin, Zhang, Tang, Yan, and Xiang."

"Su has seen you!" Su Jin replied.

"Wait!" Yan Qing had doubts in his heart and asked Mr. Ni, "I wonder if Mr. Ni is considered a candidate for the painting competition?"

"Count... Of course!" Mr. Ni didn't expect Mrs. Su to hit the abacus on his head, could it be that the nine painters he brought couldn't get into Mrs. Su's eyes?

"That's good!" Yan Qing smiled and said to her husband: "Husband, let's start choosing"

"Okay!" Su Jin nodded, the first person selected by the Shizun Art Gallery, he chose Mr. Ni, and then he chose Mr. Ye and Mr. Tang.

Mr. Yip is in his forties and fifties, and although he does not look smiling, he has a modest and polite demeanor.

And Mr. Tang is in his thirties, with a straightforward look on his face, and it is not difficult to see that he is a person who likes to look good.

"Su has chosen!" Su Jin said humbly to Mr. Ni and the painters in the audience.

"Okay! It's time for Ni to choose!" Mr. Ni smiled and looked at Su Jin and the others, he thought for a moment and said, "This Mr. Feng!

"My name is Qingsong!" Qingsong glanced at Mr. Su and suppressed the timidity in his heart.

"Okay, Qingsong, right! Then choose you!" Mr. Ni chose the two, both of them deliberately did not choose Mr. Su and Mrs. Su, he walked up to Zhuang Ming, smiled and asked, "Childe, can you paint?"

Zhuang Luo looked at him and nodded, and then laughed stupidly.

"Childe's surname?" he asked.

"Huh?" Zhuang Luo continued to smirk.

"Zhuang Gongzi's natural surname is Zhuang!" Yan Qing couldn't see Mr. Ni's knowingly asked face.

"That's it, just Mr. Feng and Mr. Qing, and this Zhuang Gongzi! Ni has made a choice!" Mr. Ni forced a smile.

When the painters under the painting table heard this, they immediately talked about it, and when they looked at it, they could see that Mr. Ni did not choose Mr. Su and Mrs. Su, but he wanted to choose a Mr. Qing, and even the stupid boy was chosen, isn't this a clear bully?

With this kind of choice, Su Jin and Yan Qing didn't feel the slightest surprise, they were ready in their hearts.

There are still discussions in the audience, but the discussions are all talking, and they are also very curious, which side has a better chance of winning in this painting competition without Mr. Su in the competition?

"Zhuang Gongzi, do you remember the sentence that made you remember yesterday?" Yan Qing asked Zhuang Meng in a low voice.

"Remember!" Zhuang Miao almost jumped up with joy, he shook his master's arm and said: "Luo'er is most afraid of drawing figures, I want to paint flowers and birds, can I talk to the old man, let me paint flowers and birds?"

"Zhuang Gongzi!" Yan Qing glanced at Mr. Ni casually, and reassured Zhuang Gongzi: "Master knows that you like to paint flowers and birds, but now I can't help you, good! Let's go back in the afternoon and paint flowers and birds again, okay?"

Zhuang Gongzi was more serious, and Yan Qingxin really thought it was true, he insisted: "I want to paint flowers and birds, so either landscape painting is good?

Yan Qing covered his mouth at the right time and reminded him: "Zhuang Gongzi, be quiet, just tell the master about this, don't let others listen to it, be good! When I go back to the art gallery, I will let my aunt make you osmanthus cake to eat!"

Zhuang Gongzi nodded, and Yan Qing let go of his hand.

"Hehe!" Mr. Ni listened to Zhuang Gongzi's words word for word, and he smiled: "Since the people who have entered the competition have been selected, next, it is time to select the theme of the painting in the group."

"Okay!" Su Jin responded.

"The First Group of Landscape Paintings"

"Second Group of Figure Paintings"

"The Third Group of Flower and Bird Paintings"
