Outside the Chengfu, the people who participated in the conference came one after another, and when Han Limo and the others arrived, the gate of the Chengfu was already surrounded by water.

"Wow, brother, where is this, what a big and beautiful house!" Little Peach, who has little language knowledge in her little head, sighed again and again, she had never seen such a house before.

Han Limo said softly: "This is the place I want to take you to, the mansion of Lord Cheng." Brother Wang, didn't you ask me what I do painting in the yard all day? This is where the Dancheong Festival is held! The person in front of you must have come to this conference! ”

Brother Wang looked clear, and also sighed: "Tut-tut, it's really magnificent, there are so many guards, it's really where the big man lives!" ”

Han Limo's focus is not like theirs, today he is here to participate in the competition, looking at the people gathered at the door, not to mention that there are hundreds of people, it is estimated that even the entire Gucheng people who study Danqing have come. The conference widely issued an invitation post, as a stranger, I don't know what their strength is, it is completely blind and reckless, and I am completely at a disadvantage in terms of knowing myself and knowing my opponent.

In addition, he has one more thing to worry about, in the years when he wants to take a career, he understands a reason, strength does not mean everything, this is not for him to be a poor scholar.

It's all about money and power.

He only hopes that this conference will not be as unfair as the national capital exam.

He was thinking that if he could have someone behind him to support him, maybe he would have realized his dream for half of his life.

But if you have money and power, will you still be that self?

The Danqing Conference is an opportunity, not to mention the rich rewards obtained by winning the first prize or the top three, the lonely city has been a place of heavy literature and literati since ancient times, if calligraphy and Danqing can be recognized, then it is natural to be able to have a good life.

So, since it's here, it's time to win!

The conference was about to start, and a person came out of the gate of Chengfu at this time, this person was the scholar next to Uncle Xu, I saw that he bowed his head and said a few words to a middle-aged man who had been sitting at the door with his eyes closed, the middle-aged man nodded, and then the scholar turned around and went back to Chengfu.

The middle-aged man's name is Wang Tong, a native of Gucheng, who is the first examiner of the preliminary round of the Danqing Conference, mainly responsible for the final review of the preliminary examination. Receiving the order to start the assembly, he stood up and said in a deep voice: "Everyone be quiet! The convention is about to begin!"

When the people heard the steward's words, they all closed their mouths and gathered in a proper circle, waiting for the speaker.

Wang Tong continued: "Please note that everyone present, all those who participated in this Danqing Conference have come to me to sign and register! Fill in the real personal situation! As soon as the words fell, everyone rushed up.

More than 100 invitations were issued, but only 100 people actually registered.

According to the regulations of the conference, the competition was carried out in the form of group qualification, Wang Tong looked at the registration list of just one hundred people, so he was divided into ten groups, and Han Chen was in the last group.

According to the rules of the competition, there are only two people in each group who can qualify, if there is a good qualification of Danqing in the same group competition, you can qualify at the same time, and the examiner can reduce the number of qualifiers in other groups after discussion, so there are still 20 people who qualify. Only the 20 people who qualified could have the opportunity to participate in the on-site competition in the Chengfu compound, so if he wanted to win the first place, he must first get the top two in the group competition before he had the opportunity to appear in the later competition.

Han Limo calculated in his heart that he only needed to win the remaining eight people in the same group before he could win the top two ranking groups. So you should go all out anyway.

"Brother, you have to work hard, defeat them!" Little Peach stretched out her little fist and cheered him on.

Brother Wang patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "You can, we all believe in you!" ”

Han Limo nodded heavily, and said casually: "Brother Wang, the little peach will be taken care of by you first, and you can only go in when the final assessment comes, and then we will meet again, and we will have to trouble you before that!" ”

Brother Wang promised: "Don't worry, I'll leave it here!" It's going to be fine! ”

Han Limo rubbed Little Peach's head and admonished, "Little Peach, be obedient, do you hear?" You can't just run around just looking at this novelty and fun! ”

Little Peach replied: "Brother, go ahead, I will obediently follow Uncle Wang, and I will definitely not run around!" ”

The judge Wang standing on the steps spoke: "Since everyone knows which group they are in, and I have told you the rules, I will stop talking nonsense, and now the members of each group will follow the person in front of you, and they will take you into the inner hall to compete." ”

The royal examiner nodded at the man who led the way, and said, "Go now!" ”

The place of the preliminary competition is located in the inner hall of Chengfu, each group competes at the same time, the time is a quarter of an hour, after the competition, the invigilator collects the works of the reference, and submits it to the preliminary auditor for review, and the audit results are handed over to Wang Tong to make a final decision, and finally get the final list of candidates.

"Brother Zhao!" A test taker named He Tong stopped a man in fancy clothes in front of him.

Zhao Wenxing turned around and said in surprise: "It turned out to be Brother He!"

He Tong said with a smile: "Hehe, Brother Zhao, let's go in a group, both of us are in the last group." ”

Zhao Wenxing said: "I know, I just came to you, what's the matter, do you have confidence?" ”

He Tong hooked up Zhao Wenxing's shoulders, raised his cuffs, and whispered: "Brother Zhao, what else do we need to believe or not?" We have tickets in our pockets! Are you afraid that you won't be able to pass this preliminary round? ”

Zhao Wenxing smiled wickedly and whispered: "Hey, what Brother He said is, let me tell you, my uncle is the examiner of this competition, I have already gone to my uncle last night, he can guarantee me to pass the first exam!" ”

He Tong glanced at the side, twisted it back again, and asked in a low voice, "Just ask your uncle to add your name?" Isn't that wrong? ”

Zhao Wenxing is not stupid, he is easy to reveal when he directly adds his name, "I told my uncle last night, come to a tanuki for the prince, I don't know it!" ”

He Tong smiled and said, "That's really safe!" ”

As far as they are concerned, it's nothing more than a fun, this first test is just a formality, just spend money to make a relationship, the important thing is to be able to go to the finals, and if you can get in touch with Cheng Da and Danqing Master Hongyan, then the money spent is worth it! Even if you can't get this first prize, it's a lot of opportunities to be famous in front of so many celebrities!

The two brothers hooked their shoulders and were very happy.

In the world, there is nothing that power and money can't do.

Han Limo walked behind the two of them, only hearing that the two of them were in a group with him, and the rest of the time they were whispering or laughing loudly, but they couldn't hear anything.

The place of the competition is close at hand, and under the arrangement of the leaders of each group, the participants of each group have come to the place where they compete.

There are all kinds of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. in front of the table, the theme of Danqing is uncertain, and the participants can play freely, and the time limit is the time of a stick of incense.

The cyan Confucian scholar who had been preparing for this Danqing Conference for a month closed his eyes and pondered for a while, took a deep breath, spit it out, picked up a medium-sized brush on the table, dipped it in the tip of the pen, and already had a ravine in his heart, so draw a one that he often draws on weekdays!

Danqing pays attention to quietness, the quietness of the external environment and the quietness of the inner world. Everyone present, although they are not Danqing masters who are aware of the lonely city, but the heart required by this Danqing is not distracted, and everyone knows that there is no room for sloppiness.

There is no one in the field, and they are all serious about painting.

Time passed minute by minute, and the competition was coming to an end. What Han Limo made is just a simple butterfly, a butterfly that smells the fragrance of flowers and is intoxicated, but don't think that this is just a painting without any technical content, if you look closely, the mystery is indescribable.

It's time for a stick of incense.

One of the invigilators looked at the incense burning to the end and said, "When the time comes, please put down the brushes in your hands, Danqing stays, and the people leave in turn, going to the backyard of the inner hall to wait for the results." ”

Han Limo slowly put down the brush, showed a hint of a smile, and then left the inner hall.

When leaving, he saw Zhao Wenxing lying on the table and falling asleep, a pig and a bird were painted on the picture scroll next to him, the lines were extremely rough, it was completely a coping work, it couldn't be called Danqing, he couldn't help but shake his head, and his heart said that such a work is not as good as the little peach that he painted just a few days after learning.

People from various groups came out of the examination room one after another, and the backyard was full of people for a while.

A few families are happy and a few are sad, and the satisfaction is naturally full of spring breeze, and the words of dissatisfaction are written on the face.

"Brother, how are you drawing?" A man in plain shirt, who looked a little older than Han Limo, walked up to him and said hello to Han Limo.

Han Limo saluted, and said in a humble tone: "The painting is a painting, but I don't know what the result is!" ”

The man sighed: "Yes, I, too, have tried my best, whether I can participate in this final assessment depends on the will of God!" ”

Han Limo snorted, and the man said familiarly, "Hey, it would be nice if I could qualify, and I could still see many Danqing masters at that time, especially Hongyan, if I can get their guidance, maybe I can go to the next level, understand some truth, and take less detours, don't you say this brother?" ”

Han Limo laughed twice, embarrassed and polite: "What my brother said is very true!" ”

"That's not, who doesn't want to see Hongyan, and that He Lao, tsk, are all extremely powerful characters! I wish I could sit like them one day! ”

"Alas, I don't know what the results of this preliminary test will be, I don't know how long I have to wait here, I hope God blesses you!"

The man hid his hands in his sleeves and muttered to himself, sometimes yearning, sometimes shaking his head and sighing.
