The palace maid in front of the bell rang the bell again, this time it was six times, and after the bell, a palace maid in a green palace dress came forward, and her clear voice sounded: "The first, the granddaughter of Qiu Ge, Qiu Yurong." ”

But when I saw a girl with a light blue collared gown standing up from her seat, she stepped forward and bowed to the judges, "The little girl brings you a pipa song "Inverted Curtain". There was a subtle hint of nervousness in his voice.

As soon as the words fell, there was a red-clothed palace maid to send a pipa, the back material of the red sandalwood is smooth and shiny, and the mountain pass, six phases, and phoenix pillow are made of ivory, jade, and white horn respectively.

Qiu Yurong flicked her hand, and suddenly the high and low scales sounded in a staggered manner, the big strings were noisy like a torrential rain, and the small strings were cut like a whisper.

The six judges exchanged glances with each other and nodded, only the chief judge, Lord Chu, was expressionless, and I don't know if he was satisfied with this song.

Hua Qianyue was enjoying the beautiful music, while eating the horseshoe cake that Tong Wanyu quietly stuffed, her eyes were not idle, she looked around, and suddenly felt that a line of sight fell on her, and when she looked up, Qi Haotian was looking at herself with the gaze of Tanyan, and dared to stand respectfully and listen to the beautiful pipa music.

At this time, it was almost the end, and I saw Qiu Yurong's jade hand move the melody from high to low, going down smoothly, like a bead curtain falling,...... The beaded curtains that fell seemed to be shaking in front of everyone's eyes.

Qiu Yurong stood up and said, "The little woman is ugly," and bowed to the judges.

The judges on both sides exchanged words with each other, and the oldest one in the middle of the judges on the right stood up and said, "Skillful fingering, smooth timbre, good, good." Then the right-most of the judges on the left commented and pointed out some shortcomings.

Qiu Yurong blessed the judges again, and said, "Thank you, Lord for teaching," and sat back to her place generously.

The first one is so strong on the field, and the pressure on the people behind is a little great.

No matter what everyone's mood was, the game went on unhurriedly, the chime rang six more times, and the green-clothed palace maid came forward again, "The second, the niece of General Dingyuan, Ye Huan." ”

A woman in an orange emerald cigarette shirt got up from her seat and walked past the crowd, stepped forward, and also saluted the judges, saying, "The little girl made a picture of "Autumn Chrysanthemum".

This time, there was no palace maid to send the four treasures of the study, but the previous green-clothed palace maid stepped forward again: "Which other ladies are painting?" Let's come up together. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, five or six more girls got up from their positions and stepped forward.

Du Muran saw that there were not many people, stood up and smiled at Tong Wanyu and Su Tong, and also stepped forward.

It turns out that the comparison painting is like this, no wonder Du Muran just said that it depends on the situation, it is interesting, I don't know who came up with this method, it can save a lot of time.

Just now, Hua Qianyue was still muttering, so many young ladies and daughters, can they be compared in one day? It turned out that there was still like this, and that someone wrote like this.

The green-clothed palace maid in front checked everyone's names one by one, marked them on the competition list, and reported everyone's house and name one by one.

Then more than a dozen palace people distributed brushes, rice paper, four treasures of the study, pigments and other painting utensils to everyone.

Although there is no time limit for this painting, the painting technique, composition layout, complexity and duration are all based on the score.

After half a pillar of incense, someone put down the pen one after another, and the slow painting became nervous, and the little face started to burn.

After another half of the incense, all the people put down their pens, and their faces were red as if they had been coated with a layer of rouge, and the last one put down the author's little face was even redder as if they could drip blood.

After the paintings were circulated by the judges one by one, they were hung on the shelves in front of them one by one, so that everyone sitting could see the paintings clearly, and the judges commented on the paintings one by one, pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of the paintings.

After the evaluation, everyone returned to their positions, and the third person came on the field by name.

The dance performed by the third person, I saw her clothes fluttering, sometimes raising her wrists and lowering her eyebrows, sometimes lightly soothing her hands, her every move was like a shock, graceful like a swimming dragon, turning around and walking, just like a willow shaking flower smiling at Chuyan.

I saw that the judges nodded frequently.

The young sons in the 'Snow Hall' on the other side looked straight at each other, and quietly inquired which boudoir daughter it was.

At the end of the dance, the six judges gave high praise, and the chief judge made a statement from beginning to end, which made people wonder if this person was watching everyone's performance.

After the end of the review, the intermission lasted for a quarter of an hour, the judges left, and the water pavilion became lively.

Hua Qianyue was a little tired after standing behind Tong Wanyu for so much, so she found a place near the water and sat down, found that there were Xu koi in the pool, and took a snack to feed the fish.

The bell of 'dang, dang, dang' rang, and the voice of the green-clothed palace maid came: "Fourth, the niece of Prime Minister Su, Su Jin."

I saw a girl in aqua green clothes and a slender waist walking up to the stage, and sure enough, she was writing and copying a female ring.

As Hua Qianyue expected, I heard that it was writing, and the judges recruited a few more writers to come up, registered, registered, and distributed pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, and everyone copied them intently.

Perhaps this is why some people choose to copy.

After half a pillar of incense, everyone finished writing, and after the judges circulated it, it was still hanging on the shelf, Su Jin was really the best among all the people who wrote, the handwriting was beautiful and long, soft and resolute.

After comparing the two of them again, it was time for lunch, and the palace maid sent the food boxes to the water pavilion......

In the afternoon, there were people who played chess, some wrote poems, and some played erhu......

Su Tong, as she said, Fuqin, a song "Flat Sand and Falling Geese" has a melodious and smooth tune, the melody is undulating and staggered, continuous, beautiful and beautiful, although the foundation is not as deep as Tong Wanyu, but it is also commendable.

Behind Su Tong is He Linling, He Linling's program is to make tea, wash tea, brew, seal the pot, divide the cup, divide the pot, the gestures are smooth, full of tricks, and the brewing process also made a phoenix three nods.

After all the tricks are done, the last procedure is to serve tea and give each judge a cup.

He Linling was followed by Tong Wanyu, but I didn't expect Tong Wanyu to play two notes after the piano was sent, and I heard the sound of 'zheng', the string broke, the string was not only broken but also cut Tong Wanyu's fingers, and the red blood gushed on the fingertips, and the 'tick, tick' dripped down.

Everyone looked at each other with pity, Tong Wanyuqin played well and was well known, but there were not many people who had really heard it, and I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to feast my ears, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

Tong Wanyu apologized to the judges and walked down, and before she sat down, He Linling provoked with schadenfreude: "Tong Wanyu, did you mean it?" Famous, afraid of making a fool of yourself, deliberately hurting yourself?" There was excitement in her voice that she didn't even notice herself.

After listening to He Linling's words, the women present seemed to come to their senses and began to whisper earnestly. The piano was fine when Su Tong played just now, why did the strings break as soon as it reached her hand, what a coincidence? The eyes of the girls looking at Tong Wanyu became complicated.

Qi Yunxuan was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, "He Linling, what are you talking nonsense?" Maybe you broke the strings......"

He Linling looked proud.

She did it on purpose, absolutely on purpose, and the purpose was to provoke Qi Yunxuan's anger and kill two birds with one stone.

Hua Qianyue quickly pinched Qi Yunxuan's arm, Qi Yunxuan glanced back at her, Hua Qianyue quickly made a gesture and let her swallow the rest of the words back into her stomach.

"Since the young lady of the Zhenguo Mansion has injured her hand and can't compete, then the next one ......"

"Slow," the green-clothed palace maid didn't finish speaking, Hua Qianyue stood up and said: "Excuse me, auntie, every time you sign up, I always hear you report to someone in such and such a house, in other words, in fact, the competition is based on the government, and it doesn't matter who is in the game or not?"

It has always been reported like this, and the green-clothed palace maid really hasn't considered this problem, and it seems that it makes sense for Hua Qianyue to ask like this, so she hesitated and nodded: "Not bad."

Hua Qianyue's eyebrows curled, "The Zhenguo Mansion is now replaced, and the slaves and maids will play the game." ”
