Seeing this, the person who maintained order shouted, "Quiet." And they all fell silent.

It's not that the people who maintain order are very dignified, or that everyone is very obedient, but at this time, Kang Shilin has already rated the fifth place painting.

After the popular science just now, even if I didn't know that the first place Zhao Zhiwei was Kang Shilin's apprentice, I now know it.

Everyone wanted to know what kind of score Kang Shilin would give to his apprentice, so they all quieted down and stared at Kang Shilin.

Kang Shilin has always acted freely, rarely taking into account the eyes and thoughts of others. Therefore, so many people stared at him, but he was not affected at all, and walked all the way with a calm demeanor, reporting all the way.

"Nine out of five."

"Six."

"Six-fifth."

Starting from fifth place, he reported all the way up, and the score was very crisp and neat, without hesitation at all.

Lin Yunshen heard Kang Shilin's evaluation of his painting by 6.5 points, and the whole person was relieved, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Over the years, among several fixed judges, Mr. Deadwood is the most strict, and his ratings have always been harsh, and the scores given are basically the lowest. Probably in the eyes of his old man, these paintings are all poor, just the difference between relatively poor and very poor.

Now that he can give himself a rating of 6.5 points, Lin Yunshen feels that he has no regrets.

Zhang Xiuyan stared at Kang Shilin.

He wanted to see how much Kang Shilin scored him and his own apprentices.

Kang Shilin walked to Zhang Xiuyan's painting, glanced at it, and shouted out a score: "Six points and nine." ”

Hearing this score, Zhang Xiuyan not only did not have a trace of joy, but a wave of anger rushed to his heart.

He clenched his fists and bit his lips, almost unable to hold back his anger.

Fortunately, he knew that the timing was not right, and finally held back.

Kang Shilin didn't stop, walked to Zhao Ruxi's painting, and took a look.

During this time, Zhao Ruxi often accompanied him to paint, and he was already familiar with Zhao Ruxi's painting style. Although you will be shocked, you will soon come to your senses, and you will be able to point out the good and bad points in it.

But when he saw this painting, he was still shocked, and the whole person stood in front of the painting for a while, and then came back to his senses.

He visibly hesitated for a moment before calling out the score: "Ten points." ”

Although Zhao Ruxi said that he left the arena, he did not leave, but stood a little farther away from the crowd and observed the movement here.

She knew that she was competing. It's okay if you don't have a good ranking, but once you get on the top, someone will inevitably beep.

Especially in the preliminary and semi-final lists, several of their masters and apprentices found that Zhang Xiuyan also participated in the competition, and the ranking was behind her, and everyone felt that Mei Zhongjun and Zhang Xiuyan would definitely make trouble.

Because of the dispute between Gong Cheng and Mei Zhongjun as the first flower and bird painter, the contradiction between the two sides has been a long time, Kang Shilin ran to the door more than once to scold Mei Zhongjun, and Mei Zhongjun hated Kang Shilin to the core.

Now that there is a chance to take revenge on Kang Shilin, Mei Zhongjun will never let go of this opportunity.

So not only did she not leave at this time, but Gong Cheng and Wu Zong had already arrived. The three brothers and sisters stood together, paying attention to the dynamics in the field.

Hearing Kang Shilin shouting "ten" at this time, Zhao Ruxi couldn't help but say, "Hey, didn't we tell Master to try to get a low score?" ”

They had already discussed countermeasures.

Although they are not afraid of things, they do not want to cause more criticism. Especially with so many officials in the imperial court, the factional struggle is complicated, and if someone catches the slightest mistake, they can make a big fuss.

People don't talk to you face-to-face, they only talk behind your back. Malicious rumors are spreading, which is not good for Kang Shilin and Zhao Ruxi.

And taking a step back, even if Zhao Ruxi scores seven or eight points, he is still the first steadily. Kang Shilin gave her a low score, not only to block the mouths of Youyou, but also to "promote the progress of the apprentice and not let her be complacent". There are only benefits to doing so, and there are no harms to doing so.

Therefore, the master and apprentice discussed it, no matter how good Zhao Ruxi's painting is, Kang Shilin only scored a score slightly higher than the second place. Of course, if she makes a mistake and draws badly, then she will naturally score as many points as she should score, and there is no need for favoritism.

Kang Shilin agreed at that time.

But for some reason, Kang Shilin didn't act according to the plan at this time, but gave her a full score, which made Zhao Ruxi very puzzled, I don't know which one the master is singing.

But Gong Cheng and Wu Zong knew Kang Shilin best.

Gong Cheng said: "It must be that your painting is so good that the master can't bear to give you a low score with a bad conscience." ”

Kang Shilin has been upright all his life, and he has not had many scruples, and he has always had one thing to say and two to say. Zhao Ruxi's paintings are too good, but he has to give a low score with a clear conscience, and he is afraid that he will not be at peace for the rest of his life.

Wu Zong nodded approvingly: "It must be so." ”

Zhao Ruxi pursed her lips, looked at the other side of the competition venue, and did not speak again.

This painting is not only satisfied with Kang Shilin, but also very satisfied with herself. As she had hoped, she painted the most satisfying picture she had ever seen. If there was a hint of immaturity in the painting that was sent to the auction house, it seemed to her to be perfect.

Now the master would rather take the risk of being criticized and give her a full score for this painting, and this appreciation and maintenance of Zhao Ruxi moved Zhao Ruxi.

In this way, she felt that even if she caused great trouble and suffered a lot of criticism, she was willing to do so, and she was full of gratitude to Master.

Over there, Kang Shilin's very good thing really attracted the discussion of the onlookers.

"Mr. Deadwood, should I say he's too upright, or is he inflexible? If he gives eight or seven points, his apprentice will still be able to get the first place, right? Why give such a high score for everyone to question? ”

"Not really. That painting is well painted. But Mr. Deadwood gives his apprentices 10 points and others 6 points, which always feels weird. ”

"According to me, if you have a master-apprentice relationship, you should avoid suspicion during the game, right? It's the same as when we participate in the imperial examination. If there are children and nephews in the family who participate in the imperial examination, they will avoid suspicion and apply to be examiners. ”

"You can't say that. Fang Jingye has several masters of the country's eunuchs, and he has received a lot of apprentices. If you really want to stipulate that the disciples participate in the competition, the master will avoid suspicion, then I am afraid that they will not be able to judge the competition a few times in their lives. They have good painting skills and are fair, if they don't come to judge and change to some selfish people, I'm afraid you won't be convinced, right? ”

"Fang Jingye and a few of them, every time they rate their apprentices, they will deliberately lower their scores, but no one gossips. Mr. Deadwood, that's too high-profile. ”

And Zhang Xiuyan, who was full of anger, heard Kang Shilin's "tenth" report, and the anger in his heart miraculously disappeared. Far from being angry, he was rejoicing.

Kang Shilin gave Zhao Zhiwei a "seven points", and he couldn't say anything. But at this time, he hit "ten", and he has something to say.
