Shen Xi and Tang Bohu are both Xie Yuan, but the gold content is very different.

Tang Bohu should be Tianfu Township to try to solve the Yuan, after all, Nanzhili is the core of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing is also the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan has always produced talents, a should Tianfu Township try to solve the Yuan, comparable to the test of the Yuan, which is also the fundamental reason for the rapid rise of Tang Bohu's reputation.

As for the Fujian Township Trial Solution Yuan, it seems a little bleak in comparison.

If Shen Xi and Tang Bohu compete to learn, they may not be able to compete, since ancient times, there is no first martial arts and no second, and there is no accurate judgment standard for literary talent, but what Shen Xi wants to challenge with Tang Bohu now is painting.

Painting is something that is somewhat different in brushwork, style and artistic conception, even if the painting is not the same type of work, a person who knows how to paint can still distinguish the good from the bad.

Originally, it was a literary meeting to discuss knowledge before the examination, but with the arrival of Tang Bohu, who specialized in smashing the field everywhere, it became a painting competition, and the people present not only did not feel disappointed, but were full of interest, and many people have not really seen the painting skills of the world-famous Tang Bohu until now.

In fact, most people only heard of such a person as Tang Bohu after arriving in the capital, after all, Tang Bohu's rise in fame has only been less than half a year. They really want to know how amazing Tang Bohu's skills are now, so many people flock to him, and even paint a painting, they have to collect more than a dozen taels or dozens of taels of polishing brushes.

So that no one cares about Shen Xi's painting skills, preconceived, a thirteen-year-old boy, no matter how strong his painting skills are, how good can he be? It's not enough to compete with Tang Bohu, I really don't know how thick the sky is.

Only Su Tong has enough confidence in Shen Xi, but his confidence is only his admiration for Shen Xi's figure painting, especially the Spring Palace painting technique.

While he was still on the table preparing to draw paper, Su Tong reminded: "Brother Shen, since you don't set anything to draw, then you can draw a character ......."

Shen Xi didn't say anything, he paid a little attention to Wang Lingzhi next to him. The entire second floor of the Minsheng Tea House. Only Wang Lingzhi was sitting there, looking at Tang Bohu fiercely at this time, his gaze was as if he was about to kill, which made Tang Bohu feel a little puzzled after seeing it inadvertently.

Who is this? I owe him money. Failed to come to collect debts?

The table was put together, the drawing paper was spread out on it, and everyone gathered around, even those who had not been invited to participate in the cultural meeting. Or I heard by chance in the inn and teahouse next door, and they all gathered at Minsheng Teahouse.

Among these people, most of them are from Nanzhili, and most of them are here to cheer for Tang Bohu. In their minds, even if they don't accept Tang Bohu, Tang Bohu should lose under our Jiangnan students, and you hairy boys in the corners of Fujian also want to be in the limelight? If you win, what face do we have for those of us who are not as good as Tang Bohu?

Tang Bohu was already considered a "public enemy" among Jiangnan students, but suddenly he became a banner for Jiangnan students.

Shen Xi looked at this posture, if another group of girls came to be fans, holding slogans and chanting slogans. It's really similar to the big stars of later generations holding concerts, which shows how flamboyant and high-profile Tang Bohu is in his daily work.

"Shen Gongzi, please."

Tang Bohu picked up the pen and behaved quite politely. Someone next to him had to polish his pen and study ink, and Shen Xi even had to do the ink research by himself...... Su Tong is not a scholar after all, at most he is a hand.

Tang Bohu has reached the age of his establishment, and he is flamboyant, but he is quite scheming, he first makes a thinking appearance, as if he is figuring out what to paint. But in fact, he was observing Shen Xi and wanted to see what Shen Xi wanted to paint.

Tang Bohu thought that if you want to paint in a different style from me, it will be difficult to distinguish between you and me. It's better for me to draw based on what you draw.

If you paint figure paintings and I don't think I can surpass them, then I choose landscape painting, so at least it's a tie, if you paint landscape painting...... Haha, since you want to die, I'm sorry. This happens to be what I'm good at, I follow what you paint, and when the subject matter and style are the same, others can tell at a glance.

In this way, Tang Bohu is invincible, and after this competition, his reputation can rise a lot, which may be helpful for the next test.

Shen Xi didn't think about it so much, he didn't even look at Tang Bohu, he just picked up the pen and drew on the paper.

Others take a look, this kid is too reckless, you compare painting with Tang Bohu, you should precipitate it first, and then put down the pen when you have ideas, you paint so directly, the original slim chance of winning is gone.

Shen Xi actually has nothing to consider, because the painting technique he uses is fundamentally Tang Bohu's painting technique, and he returns the favor to the other in his way. He only needs to know the style of Tang Yin's works in his later years, and what other famous paintings he has, but what he painted is a work made by Tang Yin when he was about forty-five years old, "Spring Mountain Companion Picture".

Before Shen Xi put pen to paper, Su Tong was not very worried, after all, he had seen Shen Xi's figure painting with his own eyes, which was called lifelike, but when he realized that Shen Xi's painting was a landscape instead of a figure, he began to get nervous, and hurriedly reminded: "Brother Shen, you ......."

Shen Xi's mood is all immersed in his "Spring Mountain Companion Picture", which is originally a mountain stack, but there is no abruptness of the troubled times, but the lines are soft, and there is a feeling of visiting the mountains and the sun and the warmth of the sun in spring. The mountains are beautiful, the mountains and rocks are rich and exquisite, with miscellaneous trees, between light and dark, and the rhyme is quite good.

In the Ming Dynasty, painting was basically divided into two schools: the southern school of painting emphasized the sense of hierarchy of distance and nearness, while the northern school of painting emphasized the momentum of the surging Tuotuo.

Tang Bohu's painting style in his early years, "attacking Li Tang" and "inbreeding Shen Zhou", studied under Shen Zhou and Zhou Chen, two masters of the Southern School, so his early paintings belonged to the Southern School. However, Tang Bohu immersed himself in ** painting in his middle and late years, and gradually integrated the two factions of the north and the south.

Now it is just a key step before Tang Bohu stepped into the threshold of Dacheng, although his painting skills have been quite stylish, but still have not integrated the momentum into his own painting style.

Shen Xi began to paint, and Tang Bohu glanced at it and quickly settled down.

Since it is a landscape, in his opinion, there is nothing to worry about. After all, Tang Bohu was famous for his landscape paintings, and by the age of thirty, his landscape paintings even surpassed those of Shen and Erren, and became famous in the south of the Yangtze River. A bad thought suddenly rose in his heart: "No matter what you paint, I just need to follow it, and then you will be dwarfed!" ”

With this idea, he pretended to be groaning, but in fact he secretly observed the mountain scenery painted by Shen Xi, and began to slowly put down his pen according to Shen Xi's painting intention.

More and more people gathered at the Minsheng Tea House. The news of the two major Xie Yuan competitions spread quickly, whether it was a student from the south or a student from the north, as long as it was near the Minsheng Teahouse. I want to come and see the excitement.

As people gathered, not only the second floor of Minsheng Tea House was overcrowded, but even the first floor was overcrowded, and many people could only look up from the bottom, or go to the opposite wine shop. Look through the open window and look at the bustle.

Shen Xi's painting style is relatively calm, for him, a painting does not need to be too deliberate, let alone fast, just be relaxed.

And Tang Bohu blindly wanted to suppress Shen Xi, and he was very quick to put pen to paper, which mainly stemmed from his dissatisfaction with "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng".

Tang Bohu's speed is not as rigorous as his usual paintings, although his style has not changed, but the ink seems a little thin. After putting down the pen, he can also feel that the style of painting seems to be slightly lacking.

On the other hand, Shen Xi's side, although the painting is slow, but very calm, a small method will not slacken, and when the painting from the outline, and then to the whole painting into shape, the majestic atmosphere of the painting style is obvious.

After all, Tang Bohu and Shen Xi were standing opposite the table, and all he could see was an upside-down landscape painting.

Tang Bohu looked up at Shen Xi from time to time, wanting to see what tricks Shen Xi's painting techniques had. But the more he looked at it, the more he muttered in his heart, he thought that Shen Xi had fallen into his trap and had the chance to win. But if a painting is not completed, he has a feeling of "winning the plan".

Because Shen Xi's painting doesn't look like a beginner's painting, what's more, even a person like him, who has been immersed in painting for 20 years, can't tell what school Shen Xi's painting style belongs to.

Tang Bohu was still angry in his heart: "I am dignified Tang Yin." How can I lose to you, a little offspring? ”

Originally, Tang Bohu could have increased some personal understanding and modified the style of painting, but he was just angry, since he couldn't see Shen Xi's style, he didn't pay attention to it, but just forced it to end according to the previous beginning.

As a result, Tang Bohu's pen appeared a nondescript "Spring Mountain Companion Picture".

When he put down the pen, the people next to him were amazed, after all, with Tang Bohu's painting skills, it is far beyond the reach of ordinary people, even if it is a tiger and snake tail in front of him, the world's famous artists will also praise a sentence: "The painting is good." ”

After Tang Bohu finished painting, Shen Xi was still not in a hurry.

There were many people present who knew how to paint, but none of them could distinguish the genre of Shen Xi's painting style, but felt that Shen Xi's painting style was very similar to Tang Bohu's, and even some of the methods were carved out of a mold. Tang Bohu couldn't help but wonder to himself: "Why does he want to imitate my style?" Has he seen my paintings before? ”

With doubts, a "Spring Mountain Companion Picture" was completed, but Shen Xi still did not put pen to paper, and he still had to inscribe a poem on it, which is also the essence of this painting: "There are two or three Spring Mountain companions, and they are not tired of drinking and looking for flowers." The good thing is that the spring head pond is on the stone, and the soft Shakan sits quietly and dust-free. ”

Combined with the scene of two scribes sitting cross-legged on the rocks near the river to find a quiet conversation, it adds a bit of elegance and becomes the finishing touch of this painting.

After Shen Xi put down his pen, Tang Bohu took the lead in asking: "Shen Gongzi, why do you want to imitate the painting style below?" ”

Even others can see that these two paintings are too similar, whether it is the content of the painting or the painting technique, even the artistic conception is quite similar. It's just a question of who imitates whom, it's not easy to say, in terms of atmosphere, it seems that Shen Xi's "Spring Mountain Companion Picture" is better.

Shen Xi looked up at Tang Bohu, pretending to be surprised: "Tang Gongzi's words are unmeaningful, this handy work is completely essay, how can you imitate it?" ”

Su Tong jumped out at this time and said disdainfully: "Your Excellency, don't you think that you have lost, and you can't repay the debt?" I don't know who you tried to draw, but who put down the pen first, and who followed behind...... I see that you are not an anti-dog, and I think I can't do it, so I bite back to confuse the public. ”

Rao is Tang Bohu is thick-skinned, and he can't help but blush at this time.

The reason why he thinks that Shen Xi is imitating him is because he knows that some painting techniques are purely his own thoughts, but Shen Xi uses them freely.

If you want to say one or two techniques, it is just that in Shen Xi's entire painting, there are many places that are the same as the methods and techniques he uses, which is simply to take his previous paintings to study until they are perfect before they come to challenge him.

Despicable, you actually use my technique to make me majestic......

But Tang Bohu thought about it carefully, no, if you want to say that he has become famous, it will only be a few months, and others will not use his paintings as research objects before.

If Shen Xi could study his paintings so thoroughly after only studying for a month or two, then his painting attainments would probably be far above him. What's more, he didn't know anyone else when he came today, and after he came in, he took the initiative to compete, and Shen Xi had no way to prepare in advance.
