Chapter 54: Revealed
What is the third test?
After knowing the relationship between Gao Yi and Chen Qiming, Zhu Ziqing had some guesses. When he followed everyone into the Lin family's living room, an ominous premonition came true.
I saw a long high table on the side of the door in the living room. Behind the table stood an old man with a white beard but a ruddy complexion.
The point is that there is a pen holder on this table, and there is a row of large and small brushes on the shelf. In the center of the table was a piece of white paper, on which ink could be faintly seen.
Meaningless, the third test is to look at pictures and compose poems. Or rather, to accompany the painting with a poem.
This is what Zhu Ziqing is most afraid of. As a copyist, the wider the subject matter, the more I like it, and you can find similar meanings from your memory to fool the past.
The most feared thing is that there are detailed requirements, and the more specific the requirements, the more difficult it is to find the right one. It should be said that it is like hitting a big luck.
Don't look at him writing poems and lyrics on the spot several times, it seems to be very relaxed. Most of them are the kind with a wide range of propositions, and there are almost no restrictions. He could easily find the right one from memory.
The only time that was really difficult was Qibao Old Street. First the heavenly market, and then a poem for Sun Shouqing's painting.
It was indeed luck that made him fool around. But luck is the most unreliable, and the goddess of fate can't be on your side at all times.
So all the while he tried to avoid that. I finally couldn't hide from it today.
The third test is to write poems for paintings, and he has already thought of it, and he guessed it when he knew the relationship between Gao Xi and Chen Qiming.
He invited three masters to be matchmakers, and the Lin family also invited three masters to accompany him. Li Zhichao and Jia Qigong in the first level have a lot to do with each other. Gao Xi and Chen Qiming in the second level have a deep relationship. Then the third level is not difficult to guess that it is Sun Shouqing's old acquaintance.
Sun Shouqing is a master in the field of calligraphy and painting, and the Lin family is so well prepared, and the invited must also be a master of calligraphy and painting at the same level. Even if it is not as good, it should not be far behind.
He doesn't know how to draw. The master would not let him paint. Most likely, it is to look at the picture and compose a poem.
The scene in front of him verified his conjecture. Looking at this table, Zhu Ziqing's heart became extremely heavy.
This table and this old man are like the Chu River Han Realm, dividing the living room into two parts.
On this side is Zhu Ziqing and his party. On the other side, there were Lin Kaishan and his wife, grandmother, Lin Boxu, Tao Yingshuang, and a few Zhu Ziqing who didn't know each other, thinking that they should be relatives and friends of the Lin family.
Lin Kaishan and the others did not step forward to greet them. Just smile and nod. The implication is obvious, however, that the engagement ceremony can only be carried out after passing the third test. Otherwise......
Knowing that Lin Baoer couldn't be here, Zhu Ziqing still couldn't help but look at every corner. In the end, I still didn't see the familiar shadow, and I felt a little lost in my heart.
At this time, Li Zhichao and Gao Xi led the wedding team over the table to the other side. When they came up to the painter, they clasped their fists and saluted:
"Brother Hou, it's up to you next. ”
"The two of you will rest first, and I will discuss with Zhu Xiaoyou. The painter replied.
"But here I want to congratulate you in advance. Zhu Xiaoyou's ancient poetry attainments are unparalleled in the world, and your long-cherished wish is expected to be fulfilled today. ”
"It couldn't be better. The painter surnamed Hou looked at Zhu Ziqing eagerly.
The two also knew that time was pressing. didn't say much, and came to Lin Kaishan's side after a few words.
"Brother Kaishan, if you fail to stop Zhu Xiaoyou's pace, we have an insulting mission. ”
"Where are the two masters, I'm very grateful that you are willing to come and help. There is no reason to blame. Lin Kaishan secretly wiped a handful of sweat, how did you two really want to stop him. If we really stop him, how will we end?
"But I want to congratulate Brother Kaishan, who can get such a good son-in-law. ”
"Haha...... Don't praise him. Children are lucky enough to achieve this. Nothing to praise about. He has a lot to learn from you. Lin Kaishan laughed heartily.
How satisfied he is with Zhu Ziqing, he has long been treated as a grandson-in-law. Be complimented. He listens to it in his ears and enjoys it in his heart.
On the other side of the table, Sun Shouqing had already stepped forward to greet the painter with the surname Hou.
"Brother Hou, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your demeanor is still the same. Sun Shouqing clasped his fists and saluted.
"Brother Sun is not bad, his body is still so tough. The painter surnamed Hou replied.
"It's just that I didn't expect that the last level would be guarded by you, which was really beyond my expectations. ”
The old man didn't expect that one day he would take over such a job. But you know I have a conundrum that has been bothering me for years. I had to try my luck today. ”
Sun Shouqing's body was shocked, and he said in disbelief: "Brother Hou, did you really take out that painting?"
"This one is. The painter surnamed Hou stretched out his hand and pointed to the painting on the table and said.
"You...... Brother Hou, today is a day of great joy for juniors. Won't you do it too hard for him. Sun Shouqing said with an ugly face.
"Well, I really can't help it. Brother Sun had the same problem back then, and he should be able to understand my thoughts. ”
Sun Shouqing wanted to say something, but his lips squirmed a few times and he didn't say anything, and finally turned into a sigh: "It's just too embarrassing for this kid." ”
"Brother Sun, please rest assured, I have my own sense of proportion. Definitely not embarrassed this child. The painter surnamed Hou said seriously.
With this guarantee, Sun Shouqing was a little relieved.
"This is called Hou Qianzhen, a painter with the same name as Lao Sun. Jia Qigong once again acted as a commentator.
"It's the same name as before. Chen Qiming added.
"Huh...... Yes, it's the same name as before. Later, your song "Mistake" made Lao Sun crush him by half. Jia Qigong said happily. Obviously, the scene in front of him was very interesting to him.
"Huh?" Zhu Ziqing was dumbfounded. He didn't expect this one to happen, and he offended people unconsciously. I don't know if Hou Qianzhen will embarrass him because of this incident.
"Don't think about it, who is Mr. Hou, how can he blame you for this. Chen Qiming saw his thoughts and reprimanded.
Zhu Ziqing honestly admitted his mistake, his idea is indeed the heart of a villain. But I was also relieved in my heart, as long as I didn't blame it.
"Don't rejoice too soon. Jia Qigong seemed to be unhappy when he saw him, and deliberately frightened: "Mr. Hou has a painting, and he has not found a poem that satisfies him for several years." I think he's going to take this as an exam question today. ”
Zhu Ziqing sighed in his heart, wouldn't it: "This ...... No way. That painting should be very precious, how could Mr. Hou take it out so casually. ”
"Of course it's precious, he painted that painting for more than four years, you say it's precious or not. ”
"Don't scare me. Zhu Ziqing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said.
"Now that you know you're scared?" Jia Qigong said with a smile.
"Okay, don't scare him. How could Mr. Hou bring that painting. Chen Qiming finally couldn't stand it anymore, shook his head and said.
"Hou Qianzhen really brought that painting here. ”
A voice suddenly rang out beside them. The three of them were stunned for a moment, and instantly turned their heads to the person who spoke. But Sun Shouqing didn't know when he had returned. (To be continued.) )
