Chapter 66: The Wind Rises at the End of Qingping
There are only three people in the landscape department, and Chu Feng's painting was judged to be fourth, relying only on the words "pity of the court", and stumbling to catch up with this car, as long as the taste is said, everyone can naturally understand.
It's not that Chu Feng, how superb your painting skills are and how dazzling your skills are. The reason why you were able to be selected by the Academy of Fine Arts was purely because His Majesty the Emperor heard about your ups and downs, felt that your child's life experience and the whole examination process were too pitiful, and he was afraid that after you returned to your hometown, you would be depressed and unhappy and find a short-term or something, so the Emperor and Queen of Heaven Tu Ende Quartet came out on credit for such a place in the Academy of Painting.
"Well, anyway, it's a good thing to be able to enter the art academy!"
Xiao Ting held the wine cup, looked around at everyone on the table, and couldn't help but glance at Chu Feng, "Everyone will be colleagues in the future, and they will be from the same list, so they will naturally support each other in the painting academy in the future." I, Xiao Ting, promised for the first time that if someone begged me in the future, if I made such a gesture of shirk, it would make me ......" Xiao Ting's eyes rolled, "I won't be able to enter the Cuihong Mansion in the future!" ”
Cuihong Mansion is a Chu Pavilion that has just opened in the alley of the East Gate, and the girl with the top card in it has been fighting with Xiao Ting recently. The six or seven people present, except for Chu Feng, were basically Xiao Ting's hair and the like, and they were very familiar with him, so they naturally understood the meaning of his words at this time, so they couldn't help laughing, and raised their heads to drink the contents of the cup.
Chu Feng didn't dare to drink, so he used tea instead.
The injury on his right hand had healed a lot, and at this time he was only wrapped in a thin bandage, but it was still a little difficult to use chopsticks. Xiao Ting is a good hand at this, and when he ordered, he only ordered something that was particularly easy to hold, or something that could be eaten with a spoon. Chu Feng couldn't help but feel very emotional, thinking that he was afraid that he would not be able to do this, and sure enough, Xiao Ting had his own strengths.
This table is full of peers, and most of them know each other. At this time, after three rounds of drinking, everyone was already enthusiastic about going out.
The list of the scientific examination of the Academy of Painting was released this morning, and the people who fell to Sun San had naturally returned home, and only them, the characters with the title of the gold list, were all in high spirits at this time, and their faces were quite impressive.
These are the people in this room. Chu Feng had seen two or three, and the rest of the people, Xiao Ting, introduced them one by one, all of whom were the children of some official eunuchs, or from big families. When they saw Chu Feng, they couldn't help but take a few more looks, after all, Chu Feng's reputation in Tokyo City had been too strong recently, so that everyone didn't want to pay attention to it.
Especially after today's list, it was originally explained that only three people were admitted to the landscape department, but four people were admitted. And the fourth person is Chu Feng. This incident has long been spread in the calligraphy and painting circles of Tokyo.
It is not without precedent that the number of people admitted is different from the initial set. After all, the academy pays attention to real talent and learning, and if the ability does not reach a certain level, Huizong is not allowed to be shoddy. If there are really talented and amazing people in a certain year, the imperial court will naturally not let go of these outstanding talents easily.
It's just that this time the list is released, Chu Feng's name ...... How to say it. It's really, really eye-catching.
The reason for this attention. It's not just because of the surprise of the painting department. Everyone thought that Chu Feng, who was famous through a "Beauty Picture" in Fan Lou, would take the exam of the character department, but his name actually appeared in the landscape department, which was naturally the first surprise.
Second, everyone thinks that since Chu Feng chose the dietary department, it is naturally because his landscape paintings are better than figure paintings. So. When everyone was waiting to see Chu Feng's name appear at the top of the Shanshui Division, they found that his name was ranked last in the Shanshui Division.
What is even more unexpected is that Chu Feng's name is not only at the bottom of the list, but also different from other names with black letters on a red background. Chu Feng's name is written in gray paint, and there is a small note behind it, with the four big words "Examination to be determined".
What does it mean to review pending?
This is a strange thing. Not to mention the layman, even the old people who have served in the academy for decades have never heard of such a name.
So everyone inquired about it, and this was the explanation from the palace.
According to the news in the palace, Chu Feng's landscape painting was actually mediocre and not good. But our official family is a soft-hearted person, and I heard about what Chu Feng has experienced in the past few days. Assassination in an alley, being splashed with boiling water during an exam, and so on. Therefore, the official family felt that this young man was too pitiful, so for the sake of Cangtian's deeds that were too cruel to him, the official family mercifully sentenced him Chu Feng to the fourth place in the landscape department, in order to encourage him......
As for what exactly is called "examination to be determined", the news in the palace came out very quickly. It means that although Chu Feng was admitted for the sake of the pitiful, the realm of Chu Feng's sketches is still slightly insufficient, so it is impossible to treat everyone equally like others, otherwise it will be unfair to others. As for "examination to be determined", it is to let Chu Feng work normally, but after half a year, the official family will naturally have a separate examination for him, and whether he can pass it competently is another matter.
After such an explanation came out of the palace, everyone suddenly realized that at the same time, they couldn't help but be very amazed.
After all, Chu Feng has only been in Tokyo for a few months, but he has already made a lot of stories because of various things, and now even the official court is involved, in order to open a door to the academy, although some rules for examination and approval have been added later, but after all, it is also an unprecedented deed, which is really surprising.
Of course, while many people envy Chu Feng's excellent luck, there are also many people who are very dissatisfied with the imperial court's actions. Some people, especially those who failed in the painting exam, naturally have a lot of opinions at this time, why can Chu Feng get such compassion, but they can't?
It is the inevitability of human nature not to suffer from a small number but to suffer from inequality. Huizong's "open side" of Chu Feng naturally pushed him to a height on the cusp.
And, out of nowhere, a rumor grew like a germ. It is rumored that on the night of Fan Lou, Chu Feng took out the "Beauty Picture" not painted by him, but was written by someone else. This rumor started at the end of Fengping, and because of the fit of various current conditions, it spread very quickly in the city of Tokyo.
At this time, almost everyone in the same table as Chu Feng had heard of this rumor, even if they hadn't heard of it, they could hear some fur in their friends' whispers at this time, so their expressions when they looked at Chu Feng couldn't help but be a little strange.
Chu Feng held the tea cup in his left hand, looking at the bright lights on the street outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
What did Huizong want to do by doing this? On the one hand, he was pushed to the forefront, and on the other hand, he began to release the facts of Fan Lou's night...... Of course, there is no way to be sure that this is Huizong's handiwork, after all, there are not many people who know the truth, although not many people have the courage to say things in public, but if someone knocks on the side and says some gossip, it is also a very normal thing.
In fact, Chu Feng didn't care much about this matter, as long as he knew the truth in his own heart, as for how other people thought of him, it was someone else's business, and it had nothing to do with Chu Feng.
This is also Chu Feng's view all along.
There are six or seven people at the banquet today, and everyone will work together in the painting academy in the future, and all of them are from a family, and they are like people, and they are not stupid to say the rumors, as for the matter of slapping Chu Feng's face and the like, it is also meaningless.
They're here to make friends, not to make enemies. Everyone knows this.
In fact, it is difficult for everyone to really figure out the details of the wind, and what is even more unclear is the attitude of Huizong. For the sake of a student, even for an emperor like Huizong, who is not very upright, it is a very rare thing. Could it be that Chu Feng's painting skills are really so clever, and the sketches made in just one tea time have already made the officials see the way?
Everyone has such a question in their hearts, but at this time, they naturally can't say it.
However, everyone is not in a hurry, because the academy has always had rules, and when newcomers enter the academy, they will display the paintings of all the people with the title of the gold list for everyone to learn and evaluate.
It's only been three days since everyone went to the academy to report, and at that time, without any effort, everyone will naturally be able to see how Chu Feng's sketch is.
"I never dared to ask you, how do you draw a picture in the time of a cup of tea?" Xiao Ting came over with a wine cup, touched Chu Feng's teacup with a smile, and drank it himself, "And why don't you draw the figure department, but choose the landscape department, you didn't tell me the reason." ”
Chu Feng smiled, showing a little helplessness, and opened his mouth to say something.
Xiao Ting shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't force you, save yourself from telling any lies, I don't feel comfortable listening to it, after all, I really want to make you a friend, in case you have to tell me a lie, I feel uncomfortable." Ha ha! It's not too late for you to tell me when you can speak! I'm not a good person, but I've seen a lot of people. You kid is a real brother, I Xiao Ting can see this! Ha! ”
After that, Xiao Ting didn't say anything more, and went to drink with others with three points of drunkenness.
Chu Feng looked at the figure of him taking a wine jug and pouring it into his stomach, and his heart couldn't help but warm slightly, after all, friends are rare.
As for the one far away in Hangzhou City, the news of the release of the list has not yet arrived, and I don't know what happened to Liu Zhengqing now, is it the same full of friends, or is it a person who is stunned......
Chu Feng thought like this, looking at the excitement in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart.
It's really hard to be happy without getting drunk at this time.
So Chu Feng smiled, poured himself a glass of wine, saluted Xiao Tingyao, and swallowed it in his stomach.
And then...... And he was drunk. (To be continued.) )
