Chapter Seventy-Six: Listening to the Wind (1)

"Brother Bai, what do you say this should do? I don't know if I should say he's confident or if he's crazy! ”

"Brother Ni is a little restless, just the so-called young and frivolous, at his age, what he sees in his eyes is just the huge and chaotic things in the market, how many real masterpieces have he seen? Oh, I remember that this Brother Chu is not from Tokyo, and it's no wonder. I'm afraid that in the eyes of people in other places, it is already quite rare to be admitted to the art academy. It's just that they know that the difference between the levels of this academy is so big, how different is it? ”

The one called "Brother Ni" is taller than ordinary scholars, and his voice is very deep, and his gaze at Chu Feng often wanders, as if he has been looking at people, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

And the other "white brother" next to him is as his name suggests, he really has a white face and a beard, and he speaks softly, but he is piercing people's hearts.

When Xiao Ting saw these two people, his face couldn't help but sink slightly, first gave Chu Feng a slightly calm look, and a smile appeared on his face, then he turned around to face the two of them, Shi Li smiled: "Yo! Isn't this Bai Yihou and Ni Yihou! How did you two get free today? ”

"Haha, ten thousand words. You also know that we have been busy all day, but today I heard that the newcomer to the academy is coming, which is a good thing that is rare in four years, and we have to come and see. Ni Yihou smiled.

Bai Yihou also echoed: "But isn't it, we heard that Wanyan is also among them, so we wanted to come out early to take a look, who would have thought that I would bump into you all of a sudden, this is also fate." ”

He looked at Chu Feng again, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "This must be Chu Feng, now it's really a 'long admiration'." Those few words were just a joke. Don't take it personally. Ha ha! We all know that the reputation of your Fan Lou that night has been covered by He Junhao, and I am afraid that this painting academy will no longer dare to look down on you.

"Don't dare to be." Chu Feng smiled faintly, not ready to quarrel with these two people.

As Xiao Ting just said, there are no other places in the palace that can appear in this place. Most of them have status and status, and no one knows what kind of power and power is behind them. Offending people for the sake of a war of words is naturally unnecessary.

Xiao Ting saw the faint smile on Chu Feng's face, and knew that he was a little annoyed, but seeing that he didn't make any other moves, he couldn't help but be very pleased, and only smiled at the two of them: "Two brothers, don't tease me, who doesn't know that you two are busy people in the academy, and everything is excellent." If I hadn't been too young, I would have been promoted to pending edict after last month's exam! How can I Xiao Ting, how can I dare to bother my two brothers to come to see me? I'm afraid you've heard about the newcomers from the art academy, so you came early to choose painting students! ”

"It is said that you Xiao Wanyan is a master with a better heart, and now it seems that this is really the case." Ni Yihou smiled, and couldn't help but glance at Chu Feng again, "I want you to be my painting student, but it's a pity that you have few painting skills." Where can I teach you. I don't know which Gihou you arranged for Wan Yan from Master Xiao? ”

Xiao Ting smiled: "I don't dare to agree with Lord Ni's words, we are young after all. The vision and skills are low, and many things are not understood, so don't you learn from any adult! ”

The question asked was passed by Xiao Tingqing, and Ni Yihou laughed and said no more.

Bai Yihou turned to smile and said, "I have long heard that this Chu Langjun looks rich and handsome, but now I see that it is really the case." I say 10,000 words, this time you will be compared. The key is that the reputation is really sudden, the night of Fan Lou, Chu Langjun's painting won the championship, and He Junhao's second. Wan Yan you seem to be in third place? You are all young people, and your future is naturally limitless, but now you have to work hard! ”

He said this strangely, saying that he was praising people, but he compared Xiao Ting and Chu Feng fiercely, and suppressed Chu Feng on the top of Xiao Ting's head, so that Chu Feng couldn't help frowning when he heard it.

Xiao Ting was light-hearted, snorted, and said very casually: "I'm stupid, what Danqing's talent is blown out by others, it's over when I see the real chapter, I don't dare to compare with the real brother, it's not that I can't find it myself!" Ha ha! As for Brother Chu's face...... Gee! ”

He put on a sneaky look, lowered his voice in a similar way, but controlled it to the extent that everyone could hear it, and joked with a hippie smile: "That's all, I, Xiao Ting, am jealous of him Chu Feng." But anyway, although he is handsome, I am taller than him! ”

After his joke, the two of them couldn't say anything. Chu Feng secretly thanked him, thinking that if it weren't for Xiao Ting by his side, he really didn't know how to deal with these two.

This is just a matter of entering the gate of the academy and encountering these two god-like figures. In the days to come, I am afraid it will be difficult to purify......

"By the way, Chu Langjun won with characters in Fanlou that day, why did he abandon the characters and paint landscapes instead of painting during the painting exam?" Ni Yihou asked casually, "Everyone uses the subject they are best at to take the painting exam, Brother Bai and I have been guessing all the time, Chu Langjun and your characters can suppress He Junhao, doesn't that mean that landscapes are better than characters?" What kind of power is that? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's all ordinary, not worth mentioning." Chu Feng bowed slightly and said with a light smile.

Speaking of this matter, Xiao Ting didn't come forward to say anything more for Chu Feng. After all, there are some unknown things hidden in it, Xiao Ting doesn't know what is behind the layers of fog, so it's even more difficult to say more, and it's easy to make mistakes if you say too much, so you can only be anxious on the sidelines.

If Xiao Ting is in Chu Feng's situation, I am afraid that it will be able to make people dizzy. But after all, Chu Feng was a master who couldn't please sweetness on his tongue, so he had to respond in the simplest way. If you praise me, I will say "where", if you praise me, I will say "dare not dare", if you secretly belittle me, I will be regarded as not understanding, and if you have thorns in your words, I will be regarded as not listening, and that's all.

Although this method of coping is really simple and makes people scoff, it is still very effective.

Xiao Ting listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but steal the fun. I thought that Chu Feng's trick to deal with it was stupid. But don't say it, it's really in line with his character, and it doesn't feel awkward to use it like this, but it doesn't say anything wrong.

When Bai and Ni said this, they naturally understood Chu Feng's method of not advancing oil and salt, and they couldn't help but be sluggish for a while. But it's not easy to show it.

"It's tiring to stand and talk, and you new painting students have to meet in Tingfeng Hall, and then you have to taste the pictures of your painting exams. Since we came early, why don't we go directly to the wind hall and save ourselves from blowing the wind here? Bai Yihou said with a smile.

Xiao Ting actually wanted to get rid of these two people, but he never thought that these two seemed to be determined to stick together, and he didn't know what the conspiracy was. Secretly frowning, but his face was still like a breeze. Xiao Ting smiled: "It's really good like this. My paintings are also there, and if I can get the comments and advice of the two adults, I will definitely be able to make some progress in the country. ”

"Don't dare, I've seen your paintings a few times, and your talent in your chest may not be lower than ours." Ni Yihou squeezed out a smile from his throat and glanced at Chu Feng, "So, I'm naturally very curious about this Chu Langjun's painting skills." can compare ten thousand words in Fan Lou without saying anything. When I took the painting exam, I didn't even use the figure to take the landscape exam. Tsk, I'm afraid that this Chu Langjun is so wonderful in the landscape. It will shock the world. ”

Hearing this, seeing the deep smile in Ni Yihou's eyes, Xiao Ting's heart moved, and he probably understood what the two were seeking, so he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Chu's landscape painting is the fourth." Not great, of course. But I don't know if the two adults have heard of it, this is because during the exam that day, after Brother Chu's paintings were all scrapped by a clumsy guard with a pot of hot tea, there was only one tea time left, what Brother Chu did. Naturally, it is not Brother Chu's best work. ”

"This has been well known. Of course, the two of us knew. But no matter what, it was specially approved by the official family to be the fourth place picture scroll, haha, it will definitely not be bad. Chu Langjun, did you say? Bai Yihou laughed and asked Chu Feng rhetorically, but he didn't give him a chance to explain, and strode towards the listening wind hall.

Ni Yihou glanced at Chu Feng with a smile and followed.

Xiao Ting deliberately took a step slower and fell behind, frowning slightly at this time, and whispered to Chu Feng: "Why did you offend these two guys?" I'm afraid that something is being prepared, and you have to be on guard. ”

Chu Feng nodded, racking his brains and couldn't think of any other characters he had offended in Tokyo besides He Junhao. Although he is not smart in terms of interpersonal interactions, Chu Feng can still feel the faint hostility of the other party......

The four of them entered the Tingfeng Hall, and there were already a few people in the hall, most of them were painting students who had just been admitted to the hospital this year, and they probably also had Chu Feng's thoughts, and they were afraid of being late, so they came early.

Xiao Ting knew two of them, stepped forward to say hello with a smile, and introduced the two lords of Yihou Bai and Ni, so everyone greeted each other and exchanged names, which was very lively.

"In the future, everyone will be officials in the same academy, although our academy has so many levels of positions, in fact, everyone is a painter, there is no essential difference, you don't have to see outside." Bai Yihou said with a smile, "There is not much to do this morning, according to the practice of previous years, just to listen to the paintings of the scientific expedition in this listening to the wind hall." After that, there may be some personnel arrangements that fall down, and which one of the only marquis is short of people, you will choose each other and follow. ”

"I don't know which subject Lord Bai is?" Someone asked.

"Hehe, we don't call it a branch here, it's also called a 'courtyard', I am a landscape courtyard, and this Lord Ni is from the Flower and Bird Academy." Bai Yihou said with a smile.

When Chu Feng heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Bai Yi more. I thought that this person was hostile to himself, and he would inevitably be an official in the future, I was afraid that the **** would not look up and look down, I was afraid that I really had to keep an eye on it.

It didn't matter what else mattered, but it was a strange thing where this person's hostility towards him came from.

Everyone laughed, and the number of people in the hall grew. In addition to the painting students who have just been admitted in a few years, there are also many marquis and worshippers like Bai Ni and the two come to see the excitement, and secondly, naturally to pick up a selection and see if they can find a good painting student for themselves.

The reason why I looked for it here in Tingfutang was naturally because in addition to seeing them in person, you could also take a look at the paintings of these people. Although the court paintings of the Northern Song Dynasty mostly took the route of Qing and noble, after all, the personal skills were different, and the charm of the pen was also quite different.

When you look for painting students, most of them are looking for people who have the same number of paths as you, so that it will be easier to work in the future.

Around the time of arrival, the entire Tingfeng Hall can be said to be full of people, and everyone has basically arrived. At the beginning of the day, Wu Bingchang, a scholar from the Academy of Painting, walked in under the escort of several people, and those who knew him hurriedly bowed and saluted, not daring to talk nonsense anymore. This kind of quiet began in the northeast corner and gradually spread to the entire lobby, so everyone fell silent.

Chu Feng looked at the septuagenarian, and couldn't help but start guessing the identity of the other party in his heart.

"This is a scholar of Wu Bingchang University, and it can be said that he is the dean of the painting academy." Xiao Ting said secretly on the side, "Although the nominal manager of the painting academy is the official family himself, but after all, the official family has a lot of opportunities, and it is impossible to take care of so many miscellaneous things, so this scholar will do it for him." ”

Chu Feng nodded slightly, and asked curiously, "Scholar?" Is this Lord Wu from Hanlin? ”

"Definitely." Xiao Ting laughed in a low voice, "Like you and me, this Master Wu is also from the painting exam, and he was awarded the title of 'University Scholar' because he managed the painting academy. ”

"I see." Chu Feng bowed.

The scholar looked very old, walked very slowly, his eyes were squinted, as if he was always smiling, and he spoke slowly and logically, like a kind old man.

Although Scholar Wu came, he didn't stay for too long, just told everyone something official, and then left, leaving only one Xuezheng to preside over the review of the paintings.

"This is Wang Xuezheng, whose name is Qinghe, and he is the first person under Wu University." Xiao Ting introduced Chu Feng on the side, "You have also seen that the age of Scholar Wu is there, I am afraid that he will become a scholar in the next few years, if there is nothing wrong, the successor will basically be this one."
