The prince first looked at Zhu Baobao's painting, which was a freehand painting of pen and ink. There is a woman in the painting, wandering in the path, at this time there is a sunset in the west, falling flowers all over the ground, and swallows flying; In the painting, the woman is blown up by the wind, her face is calm, her eyes are focused, as if she is thinking about something.

The light ink fine pen hooks the clothing lines, which are thin to the point of being indispensable, and gradually disappears under the knees. And there are a few sentences on the side: "Helplessly, the flowers fall, the familiar swallow returns, and the small garden incense path wanders alone." However, it is the last three sentences of the words "Huanxi Sha" written by Cheng Yanshu in the imperial history of the dynasty.

The prince didn't say anything, and after reading it, he handed it to Fan Kuan, because Fan Kuan can be regarded as an expert in painting in the entire judging team, and he is the best to judge.

Looking at Li Qiushui's painting again, it is a water town landscape painting, which can be regarded as a freehand painting of pen and ink. In the painting is a large bamboo forest, three or two peach blossoms, a river, and a few ducks, which are extremely simple but lifelike.

Three or two peach blossoms are randomly dotted with pink, but the duck's beak is dotted with a few red, like the finishing touch, which is also the highlight of the whole painting. There are also two poems inscribed on the side, "Three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, the prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river".

The paintings of the two have their own merits, and they are all excellent works, and everyone looks at each other, and they are amazed.

This Zhu Baobao as a master of calligraphy and painting in the Fengyue world, her paintings are also hard to find, many people have never seen her paintings, but have heard of her name, her calligraphy and painting have already become famous in this dynasty, and today I can see that it is really worthy of its name.

And this Li Qiushui's name has never been heard of, but he paints a good painting, which is not inferior to Zhu Baobao, so it has to be impressive.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for the expert's judgment, the prince smiled at Fan Kuan, "Mr. Fan, among our judges, the old gentleman is the most qualified to judge the level of the two of them. ”

Fan Kuan hurriedly said ashamed, "Don't dare, don't dare." The prince is in love". Then he looked at the paintings of the two of them carefully, and said, "In addition to the skills and skills of painting, the freehand painting of brush and ink pays the most attention to the word artistic conception, which is also the so-called idea." ”

Then he pointed to the paintings of the two, "Let's look at the paintings of the two girls, Bao Bao's painting is the root of the idea of the word "Huanxi Sand" by Lord Yan, in the painting, the woman sees the sunset, falling flowers, swallows flying back, wandering alone in the garden path and can't help but feel the impermanence of life, the cycle repeats, are not human can do, but also seem to be sighing themselves. The idea of the painting is clear and clear, and the expression is accurate. ”

"The painting of the autumn water girl, with bamboo forests, peach blossoms, river water and ducks, depicts the coming season of spring in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

"In addition to the accident, the freehand painting of pen and ink should also pay attention to the form, composition and brush and ink, and it would be better to add poems that can be used as embellishments at the end of the day." Fan Kuan is worthy of being a master of painting, and his mastery of painting is more professional and sophisticated, and everyone who listened to his words nodded endlessly, saying that he had learned a lot.

"Let's look at Bao Bao's paintings and Qiushui girl's paintings, both of which are in good shape; And the compositions of the two of them seem to be twisted with their hands and are fresh and good; In terms of brushwork and ink, Bao Bao pays attention to the depth and thickness of the ink, focuses on the people, pays attention to details, and vividly outlines the thickness of the folds on the clothes of the characters in the painting and the focused eyes of the characters; The autumn water girl is bold with ink, especially the coloring of peach blossoms and the duck's mouth, which has become the highlight of this painting. ”

The shopkeeper of Di Cui Zhai on the side has been dealing with antique calligraphy and painting, although the level of painting is average, but the eye for appreciation is first-class, so he also added a few words on the side, "Poetry and painting are not separated, as the so-called 'poetry has a painting, there is a poem in the painting' It is the appropriate poems of the two girls that add a lot of color to their paintings, each with its own merits, but it is really difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior."

The Prince of Joy turned his head to look at Fan Kuan, "What does Mr. Fan think?" ”

"Yes, the old man can't tell the two of them apart for a while, each with its own characteristics and merits." Fan Kuan sighed.

The king smiled, "This king also thinks so, so it's better to fight this painting skill, how many bosses do you have opinions?" As he spoke, he looked at the third floor of Hangzhou and several bosses in the south of the Yangtze River. The prince has said so, who dares to have an opinion? Everyone was busy saying that the prince's judgment was extremely fair, which was very reasonable.

In this way, the second painting skill competition ended with the harmony of remembering Jiangnan and Four Seasons.

The people listening to the game outside in the lake had already begun to place bets at this time, arguing about who would win the game in the end.

A quiet game came to an end, and the last dance skill was an extremely crucial one for the people on both sides of the competition, and it was also a lively atmosphere and a feast for the eyes of the judges who had been quiet for a long time.

So whoever you are, you're suddenly looking forward to the last dance competition. In between breaks, both sides also worked hard to overwhelm each other and win.

The third game is still the representative of the Four Seasons Fang, Dou Saisai came out first, Dou Saisai was dressed in red, tall, goose egg face, with spring in the corners of his eyes, and a long hair tied in it with a flower crown on his head, long bright and dazzling, and the other two in the three Yan completely two styles.

She has prepared a unique move tonight, fusing her two best dance skills, that is to say, fusing the water sleeve dance and the sword dance together, hoping to defeat the representative of "Yi Jiangnan" in one fell swoop.

At this time, another person came out, it was Bai Xiaoxiao of the first game, this game was played by Bai Xiaoxiao for Dou Saisai, Bai Xiaoxiao took out a guzheng at the moment, she tried the strings a little, and then nodded to Dou Saisai and started her music.

With the sound of the cold guzheng resounding throughout the audience, Zhu Baobao began to dance with a long yarn as a water sleeve, it turned out that this song was the famous "Ambush on All Sides", and Dou Saisai made a dance with this music.

This "Ambush on Ten Sides" tells the scene of the decisive battle of the Chu-Han War, when the Han army defeated the Chu army with the formation of ambush on all sides, and Xiang Yu killed himself in Wujiang because of this.

But seeing Dou Saisai, whether it is out of the sleeves, closed in the sleeves, raised the sleeves, wrapped around the sleeves, skimmed flowers, punched sleeves or put on the sleeves, the posture is extremely beautiful, like flowing water and falling flowers, light, graceful, elegant, and the guzheng song brings everyone's thoughts to the distant battlefield.

Then the cold voice turned and began to be exciting, and at this time, the long sleeves in Saisai's hand were replaced by a silver sword at some point, with the graceful dancing, but seeing the silver light shining in the field, he was dazzled for a while.

It is said that this sword dance was founded in the Tang Dynasty Gongsun Auntie, and it was a popular dance in the Tang Dynasty at that time.

In the sound of the music, everyone was brought to the wall, the decisive battle between the two armies, the sound shook the sky, the sound of golden drums, swords and crossbows, the sound of people and horses came and went, after a pause, it seemed that Xiang Yu's Chu song, farewell concubine sound, and then the chasing soldiers arrived, the sound of weeping, Xiang Yu's self-slaughter. It can be exciting, horrified, and sad.

After the end of the "Zheng ......" of the guzheng, everyone's thoughts in the hall suddenly returned to the scene.

"Good song~~" Everyone couldn't help but cheer secretly, at this time, Dou Saisai pulled a sword flower and made a sword closing pose, hugged everyone with a fist, and then went to the side to rest with sweat.

When everyone came back to their senses, there were suddenly bursts of drums, but they saw that the previous sisters Flower Basket Cui Ziyan each carried a very strange drum to the center of the hall, but saw that this drum was about a foot long, and the whole body was hollow, like a high-legged wine glass, and they beat the drum surface alternately with the fingers and palms of both hands, and the sound was loud and crisp.

With the sound of drums, a woman came to the hall, only to see that this woman was in very good shape, plump and enchanting, tall, about an inch taller than the previous Dou Saisai.

She wore clothes similar to those wrapped around her breasts, but the attached skirt dragged a long hem, the lilac gauze skirt was the bottom, dotted with long golden dots, and there was a feather-like thing on her head.

Look at this woman again, her skin is not as fair as a Jiangnan woman, but she looks very healthy, her nose is very straight, her eyes are big and bright, like the brightest stars in the sky, and her lips are like petals.

If you look closely, it turns out that this dress resembles a peacock, and her movements are also very similar to a light and beautiful big peacock dancing.

Everyone seemed to see the peacock fly out of its nest, and when it saw that there was no threat around it, it walked down the hill safely, danced on the lawn, and then pushed the grass and branches in search of the spring. When it finds water, it happily shines on its own shadow at the water's edge, drinks water, bathes, shakes off the water droplets on its body, spreads its glorious wings, compares beauty with all things, and flies freely and happily.

However, seeing this woman's sometimes rapid knees and short steps without ups and downs, the calves appear light and flexible, while the thighs often squat on the ground to make the dance very lively.

The movements of the hands are more light and sensitive, and the fingers, wrists, and arms are often twisted to a point where ordinary people cannot twist. Then a small shrug makes this dance light, lively, and enthusiastic. The drumbeats are sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and the dance is perfectly coordinated.

Everyone here was dumbfounded, they were all used to seeing court dances or soft dances in the south of the Yangtze River, how many times have they seen such a beautiful dance with national characteristics, after watching it, everyone applauded again and again. It was like being beaten with chicken blood, and suddenly the blood was stretched.

Liangzhelu Tiju, who hadn't spoken just now, suddenly couldn't bear it anymore at this time, beckoned to Zhao Qiong, and asked, "What's the name of this woman?" What kind of dance was you performing? ”

"Little Girl Taoyao." Zhao Qiong hadn't spoken yet, but the dancing woman generously introduced herself, "Ladies and gentlemen, the little girl just now danced the "Peacock Dance", which was learned from an ethnic group in the southwest. ”

"It's a peach, it's scorching, it's a good name, but I don't know what kind of instrument this drum is?" Lord Tiju seems to have a good impression of this peach girl.

"Back to my lord, this drum is a special instrument for peacock dance, because it resembles an elephant's foot, so it is called an elephant's foot drum", Tao Yao replied.

Everyone looked at the drum closely, but didn't it look like an elephant's foot? They all nodded secretly.

"What do you think of these two women's dancing skills?" After listening to the introduction, the prince nodded, and began to review left and right, asking everyone's opinions. "What do you think?" The prince smiled and looked at the lifting of Liangzhe Road.

"This ...... Xia Guan thought that this peach girl's "Peacock Dance" was graceful and beautiful, and it seemed to be better", and raised the adult to take a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Yin Gongzi has traveled from south to north and has seen a lot of knowledge, what do you think of their dancing skills now?" The prince looked at this young man who had never spoken, this Yin Ershao, he knew the way, because his father Yin Lao had a very good personal relationship with this prince, and he had close contacts, and Yin Ershao often visited him with his father, so it can be said that the two families are relatively familiar.

"The kid doesn't dare to be, Qi Yu Wangye, I think that the water sleeve dance in the early part of Miss Dou's "Ambush on All Sides" is quite exciting, and it can be integrated with the song, but it is slightly lacking in the sword dance, the sword dance focuses on momentum, and there are many sword moves, mainly stabbing, splitting, chopping, teasing, intercepting, stirring, gridding, pressing, hanging, etc. It is necessary to combine rigidity and softness, throughput freely, fluttering briskly, vigorous and beautiful, as the so-called "sword is like a flying phoenix", and pay attention to "come like thunder to collect anger, such as the river and the sea condensing clear light", Dou girl's sword dance lacks a kind of momentum of beauty, soft is enough, only lack of rigidity, failed to achieve both rigidity and softness. ”

"So when performing this dance, we only paid attention to the music, but ignored Miss Dou's dance, and the reason was that the dance became the foil of the song." Yin Ren really has a little insight, and he broke the defects of Dou Saisai's dance in one sentence, it seems that next time this Saisai girl will have a good sum in terms of choosing dances.

After that, Yin Ren continued, "Miss Taoyao's "Peacock Dance" let us feast our eyes, the dance and musical instruments are well matched, and the dance posture itself is impeccable, which really makes our eyes have to follow the figure of Taoyao girl." ”

This Yin Ren really knows how to be a person, and a seemingly casual comment plays a role of killing two birds with one stone, which not only makes people see his versatile side, but also solves the embarrassing situation that the lifting master just now fell into because he was out of control for a while.

"Yin Gongzi really has a unique vision, and he is really a romantic person," the prince was obviously satisfied with Yin Ren's judgment. "It seems that this game is still slightly better than Yijiangnan, do you have any objections?"

"The prince is really fair, and we have no objections," the judges around him hurriedly echoed.

"So in these three games, Yi Jiangnan ended up with two wins and one draw, slightly better than the third floor such as Four Seasons Fang. It seems that the girls in Jiangnan really have unique skills, and I can often come to appreciate them next time. "The prince is really an elegant person, obviously he wants to come to have fun in the future, but he said that he appreciated it, and he was really romantic and elegant.

"I don't dare to say that I have a stunt, but I am quite familiar with some strange skills, and I just won by luck, and I will invite you to cheer more in the future, and please take care of the boss on the third floor" This Zhao Qiong is neither humble nor arrogant, without the snobbery and cheesiness of ordinary bustards in Fengyue Field, and his words are quite polite.

At the time of the third watch, the competition came to an end, everyone said goodbye and left the "Yijiangnan", and the West Lake returned to the initial calm, quietly blooming its beauty in the night.

As a result, Yi Jiangnan's first shot in Hangzhou not only hit very loudly, but also won very beautifully. Until a long time later, the skills of this competition were rumored to be miraculous, and many years later, they were still talked about by the people of Hangzhou.

And the beauty, talent, and skills of the girls of "Remembering Jiangnan", as well as the rules of selling their art and not selling themselves, have been widely spread.

Since then, there have been a lot of people who have come to admire it, and the luxurious and ingenious layout of the ship "Remembering Jiangnan", everything in it has been exaggerated and exaggerated, attracting everyone who has money or no money in the bag, and whether it is an official or a literati who dances and writes, all hope to come up and feast their eyes.
