Chapter 35 The old man's congratulatory book, the scholar's drunken butterfly picture

"Ah Liang, am I deaf, why didn't I hear a person named Xu Chun, did you hear it?"

An old man suddenly asked about his little grandson who was standing beside him.

The old man was the respected Danqing veteran He Wenshu in Gucheng, and standing beside him was his youngest grandson He Liang.

He Liang squatted down and patiently explained to the old man sitting in the chair.

"Grandpa, there are basically no scholars from the academy participating in this Danqing Conference, so Xu Chun is not among them!"

He Liang was right, there were indeed not a few scholars from the Eight Academies attending this conference, but there were quite a few guests of the family.

Based on the fact that there was already a Danqing competition in the last academy competition, Hongyan also had a basic understanding of the strength of the major academies, so he did not issue any more invitation stickers.

The old man nodded, looking a little disappointed.

I have always heard that there is a young man named Xu Chun in the new generation, Danqing has extraordinary qualifications, and the old man thought that he could meet him today, but he didn't expect that people didn't even participate in the conference.

He Liang could see that the old man was not very happy, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you can't be like this, how can you just look at him, you look at our Gucheng, Danqing is not the only one with high qualifications!" ”

He Lao shook his head, the whole person became a little depressed, and he said to He Liang: "Ah Liang, you don't understand, I'm already old, I can't paint anymore, what I hope most is that Gucheng can have a new leader..."

"Ah, help me up!"

He Liang picked up his grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, what are you going to do here?" ”

He Wenwen stood up with trembling legs, and his hand holding the cane trembled.

"Let's go home!"

He Liang asked, "Grandpa, haven't you seen it?"

The old man waved his hand and stopped looking.

Hongyan on the presiding stage saw it and asked respectfully, "Where are you going?" ”

He Liang replied for his grandfather's He Shu.

"I'm going home!"

When the others heard this, they all stood up and bowed slightly to the back of He Wenwen's departure.

Dozens of congratulations.

He Lao walks slowly!

This old man's life may soon come to an end, but the Danqing Avenue that he has been advocating all his life will remain deeply in the hearts of everyone present.

After He Lao left.

The competition has entered the beginning stage.

First of all, Gucheng Danqing Master Hongyan delivered an important opening speech, encouraging all participants to inherit and carry forward Danqing and create better works with the concept of Danqing Avenue.

Uncle Xu then announced the rules of the final assessment, and the competition officially began.

After the competition began, Wang Tong stood up and strode to Hongyan's side.

Lu You came to him just now, saying that Hongyan was looking for him, and asked him to come to Hongyan after the competition started.

Wang Tong bowed his hand and said to Hongtong: "I've seen Master Hongyan, I don't know what you have to do with me Wang Tong?" ”

Hongyan asked softly, "Brother Wang Xian, let me ask you something!" ”

"Master, please speak!"

Hongyan asked, "Have you ever seen a young man named Han Limo?" ”

Wang Tong said directly: "I haven't heard of this person!" ”

Hongyan thought about it, who would know someone who has never heard of it for no reason!

Hongyan asked, "So where is the registration list for the conference?" ”

The smart-minded Wang Tong suddenly felt that something was about to happen, and thought of the connection between these two things, but he didn't know what was going on, but it must be related to Han Limo.

"I'll get it for you!" Wang Tong turned around and stepped off the podium and walked out of the Chengfu compound.

"Xiao Chu, what's the matter?"

Cheng Wenjun, who was sitting on the side, watched the two of them discuss mysteriously just now.

Hongyan asked Cheng Wenjun: "Do you remember the young man I said before?" ”

Cheng Wenjun nodded and asked what's wrong?

"He's not on the list!

So I want to ask Wang Tong if he didn't make the cut, or if he didn't come to this conference at all! ”

If he is not selected, then his expectations are too high, for the sake of one person, so exciting.

If what his apprentice Bai Lan'er told him was true, but this young man didn't come, then his heart would feel better, at least he would have some expectations.

Cheng Wenjun suddenly laughed.

"You may have worked in vain!"

Hongyan looked at him with a bitter expression.

At this time, Wang Tong came in with the registration list, he walked to Hongyan's side, handed the registration list to Hongyan, and said: "There is this person in the preliminary examination, but he was not selected for the final assessment, and I just asked his invigilator, saying that he has left!" ”

"I don't know what you're looking for him, Master Hongyan?"

Wang Tong said it truthfully and carefully.

Hongyan looked at the last group on the register, and the name column was written with the three big characters of Han Limo.

He frowned, he really came!

But he didn't make the cut!

Hongyan shook his head repeatedly.

Hongyan put the register aside and exhaled.

"By the way, I also brought his painting, fortunately I arrived just in time, otherwise they would have taken it and burned it!"

Wang Tong suddenly remembered to take the painting back, took it out from his chest, and presented it to Hongyan.

Hongyan glanced at it, what's going on? A butterfly?

After a few glances, Hongyan held his forehead and waved his hand, and Wang Tong put the painting away.

Hongyan said: "Ah, you, go and call Lan'er!"

"Yes, master!"

"Then, Master Hongyan, if it's okay, I'll first..."

Hongyan hurriedly stopped and said, "Brother Xian, wait a minute!" ”

Wang Tong sighed and nodded, not knowing what he was going to do, but fortunately he stood aside.

After a while, Lu You brought his junior sister Bai Lan'er to the stage.

Bai Lan'er saluted and asked, "What's the matter with the master looking for an apprentice?" ”

Hongyan went straight to the point and said: "Lan'er, the person you said has been here!" ”

Bai Lan'er's face was full of surprise, "Has he been here?" So where is he now? ”

Hongyan was also disappointed, and said: "Well, but he was not selected for the final assessment, so he has already left!"

"How so? How could he not be selected, impossible! ”

Bai Lan'er was a little excited at first, and then gradually became aggrieved!

At this time, Wang Tong took out Han Limo's painting again and handed it to Bai Lan'er. She opened the painting, and inside was a butterfly that smelled flowers and was intoxicated.

Hongyan said: "Lan'er, this is his painting, so he was not selected, it should be correct!" ”

The implication is also a little clear, Lan'er, you have made a miserable situation for your teacher!

This looks like a very ordinary painting, and the facts are in front of her, and Bai Lan'er can't say anything.

Wang Tong slowly rolled up the painting.

"Wait! Don't take it yet! ”

At this time, Bai Lan'er suddenly remembered something.

Hongyan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Master, lend me your tea!"

Hongyan handed the teacup to Bai Lan'er.

I saw her put her fingers in the teacup, wet them, and gently smeared them on the painting.

After a while, Bai Lan'er pointed the scroll at the sun.

At this time, a flower faintly appeared on the scroll, and the intoxicated butterfly seemed to be dancing.

Bai Lan'er smiled, "Master, look! ”

The blue-robed man who everyone wanted to call Master Hongyan stood up abruptly and looked at the painting in shock.

After Wang Tong and Lu You saw it, their mouths also opened wide, and their faces were full of shock.

In the end, Wang Tong gave up, and his tone was full of apologies.

"Master Hongyan, it's time to look down!"

Hongyan sat down slowly, shook his head, and said very regretfully: "It's none of your business, even if it's me, I don't see it!" ”

In fact, Hongyan was very shocked, it was not that he didn't know how to paint like this, he had seen such a painting on the one in Kyoto, which was why he lost to him when he was young.

It's just that I didn't expect it to reappear in a young man after so long.

If it weren't for Bai Lan'er smearing it with tea, he wouldn't have imagined that it would be like this.

A painting evokes a piece of the past.

Proving Han Limo's strength in front of his master and telling him that he didn't lie to her, Bai Lan'er suddenly became very happy at that moment.

However, she never saw the young man again, and her heart sank suddenly.

He's gone again, and there's a sea of people, how can I find him?

The master and apprentice have their own agendas.

Hongyan looked at Bai Lan'er and asked, "Lan'er, how did you know to smear it with water?" ”

"Back to the master, the apprentice also suddenly remembered!

I remember hearing him say something like this once, and he said he was working on this thing, so I tried it today, and I didn't expect it to work! ”

Bai Lan'er told him.

Hongyan asked her, "Has Han Limo ever visited a teacher?"

She shook her head, "Probably not!" His danqing is self-taught! ”

Self-taught Danqing?

A young man who taught himself Danqing and has such an achievement?

Hongyan, who has always been calm and silent, was slightly shaken when he heard this, if it was really self-taught, then such a Danqing qualification could be described as a natural talent.

Wang Tong also gasped, in fact, he had only heard of this kind of painting but had never seen it, and when he saw it today, it was indeed an eye-opener.

Wang Tong said in a pitiful tone: "It's just that this young man is gone!" If not..."

This is a fact that has to be accepted.

No matter how much they marveled at the painting in front of them now, they couldn't find where its owner was.

Hongyan sighed and said, "The competition is almost over, so you guys go down first!" ”

"Yes, master!"

Bai Lan'er saluted and stepped off the stage.

Wang Tong is also the same.

Hongyan wanted to drink tea, picked up the teacup, and suddenly thought of Bai Lan'er with his hand just now... I put it back again.

At this time, the man next to him laughed at him again.

"It's rare for you to do this!"

Cheng Wenjun smiled.

He said: "I don't know much about your Danqing, although I also liked to play this when I was young, but my qualifications are limited.

However, you said that you want me to find someone in Gucheng, isn't that easy? ”

Hongyan turned his head to look at Cheng Wenjun, why didn't I think of it!
