He pointed to Zhao Ruxi's painting and said: "Everyone knows that the environment in the competition is noisy, the time is urgent, and the state of the people is not very good. For such a painting, everyone gives an eight, nine points, and I can understand it. But if you give 10 points, it can only be said that you are favoritism and unfair. ”

"Although there were also judges' apprentices who participated in the competition in the past, but at that time, everyone's ratings were fair, and they didn't give high marks just because they were their own apprentices, so everyone didn't say anything. But today, you have done too much, Mei can't see it, and can't help but stand up and say a few fair words. ”

Mei Zhongjun said, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He and Kang Shilin are also mortal enemies, and they know that Kang Shilin is a temper tantrum.

If he had said this in normal times, Kang Shilin would have burst into a rage and interrupted him. But at this moment, Kang Shilin was unusually calm, standing there calmly and looking at him, as if waiting for him to finish speaking.

It's not right, it's very wrong.

Mei Zhongjun couldn't help but look around for a week, and then glanced at Zhang Xiuyan, hoping that the apprentice would find something.

But Zhang Xiuyan was looking at him gratefully, and he didn't notice anything wrong at all.

Mei Zhongjun couldn't help but curse in his heart: Idiot.

If someone hadn't promised him a benefit and asked him to come here to make trouble, he wouldn't have carried Kang Shilin on his shoulders for Zhang Xiuyan.

Kang Shilin is too powerful, and the emperor is behind him. Peng Guoan and others have a better reputation. Even if there is a scene, Zhang Xiuyan can't change from second to first, what good is this for himself? No, it caused more infamy.

His original plan was to secretly ask people to spread some rumors after the game, which would damage Kang Shilin's reputation. That's the best way to go.

Helplessly, someone gave too many benefits, and it was not good for him to refuse.

Over there, Kang Shilin saw that Mei Zhongjun stopped talking, so he asked slowly, "Are you finished?" When that's all said and done, it's our turn, right? ”

Mei Zhongjun felt uneasy, remembering that he should have finished speaking just now, so he nodded.

He said: "No matter how clever you are, you can't hide the fact that you are favoritism. ”

Kang Shilin didn't have a verbal dispute with him.

He turned his head to look at Peng Guoan: "Master Peng, you just gave my apprentice a 10-point painting on it, I don't know why?" ”

Peng Guoan saw Zhao Ruxi's painting in the preliminary round, and he was full of appreciation for her, and he envied Kang Shilin for accepting a good apprentice, he didn't think that Kang Shilin's apprentice had anything to do with him.

After Mei Zhongjun mentioned it, he thought about it for a long time before he finally remembered that Kang Shilin's apprentice was born in Suiping Bofu, and his second son's wife was the eldest daughter of Suiping Bofu.

The female doll in front of her is the sister of her second daughter-in-law?

Listening to Kang Shilin's question, he took back his thoughts and commented on Zhao Ruxi's paintings, which were full of praise.

After complimenting, he smiled and said to Kang Shilin: "Let's say something that Mr. Deadwood doesn't like to hear, Lingtu's paintings, compared with your old man, are more than enough." Anyway, compared to her paintings, I prefer Miss Zhiwei's paintings a little more. ”

Kang Shilin laughed "haha": "No, no, I love to hear this." At my age, that's all I've been like this for the rest of my life. My apprentice can be better than the blue, I am too late to be happy, how can there be a reason not to like to hear? ”

Peng Guoan nodded, immediately smiled, and glanced at Mei Zhongjun with a faint expression: "In my eyes, Miss Zhiwei's painting is flawless, and it can be compared with Mr. Deadwood's painting, and it is not at the same level as the second-place painting." Not giving ten points is not enough to express my admiration for the painting skills of the Zhiwei girl. ”

He raised his hand and arched to the onlookers: "I, Peng, have been upright all my life, and I only want to be worthy of my heart when I do things." This is ten, and so it is. ”

Peng Guoan is kind and extremely talented, and has made countless friends in his life. However, Mei Zhongjun's personality was despised by many people.

In addition, as soon as Zhao Ruxi's paintings were displayed at auction, people who like this style liked it to the bone.

Several factors are added together, and some people can't help but stand up for Peng Guoan and Zhao Ruxi.

At this time, someone in the crowd of onlookers said loudly: "We all know Master Peng's personality, and we will never do that kind of favoritism." On the contrary, some people are dark in their hearts, and everything is dark. ”

"Saying that Duke Peng is favoritism, I want to ask, Mr. Mei, why are you questioning here? Isn't it because your apprentice won the second place, and you want to think about the first place? I think you're the one who wants to show favoritism, right? Not to mention whether your apprentice's paintings can be compared with Zhiwei Girl's, I asked, Mr. Mei, do you dare to compare your own paintings with Zhiwei Girl's? ”

This question made Mei Zhongjun's face flush.

He made an indignant look and said: "Mei and the inferior apprentice are not good at learning, and they are not as good as the Zhiwei girl. But as I just said, there must be mistakes in the game. Miss Zhiwei may be able to draw well in normal times, but in this case, it is not so perfect. Several judges give 10 points, which is biased. This is a fact that cannot be denied. ”

When these words came out, the people who came out for Peng Guoan and Zhao Ruxi had the heart to refute it, but they couldn't say anything.

Even if they like to draw, they are also laymen. Coupled with the long distance, I can only look at Zhao Ruxi's paintings approximately, and the details are not real, and I really dare not pat my chest to guarantee that Zhao Ruxi's paintings are perfect.

On the contrary, Mei Zhongjun's words are conclusive, and it is very likely that he can see the shortcomings in Zhao Ruxi's paintings, so he dares to risk the world's disapproval, dare to question in public, and carry it with so many people.

Xiao Qi stood on the periphery closest to Zhao Ruxi's painting, but he saw the painting clearly, he felt that this painting was indeed perfect, better than what he bought for 25,000 taels of silver.

His relationship with Kang Shilin is as close as father and son, and he even has a short-term psychology for Zhao Ruxi, a "little junior sister", so he is naturally emotionally biased towards Kang Shilin and Zhao Ruxi. He is also very disgusted with Mei Zhongjun, who has always opposed his cousin.

At this time, he made a voice and proved that the painting value was "ten", and the effect was the best.

Anyway, the Imperial Guards have already surrounded this place, and there will be no danger in him leaving after presiding over this justice.

But Mei Zhongjun understands Kang Shilin, and Xiao Qi is only more than him.

Mei Zhongjun questioned that Kang Shilin was uncharacteristically irritable, and stood there with a calm and relaxed appearance, which made Xiao Qi feel that Kang Shilin must have a follow-up move.

So he simply remained silent, just stood there and watched the excitement.

Kang Shilin listened to Mei Zhongjun's words, but he was still not impatient, and said to Zhou Wenbai: "Brother Zhou, why do you give ten points?" ”

Zhou Wenbai has been obsessed with painting all his life, and he has a lot of experience in painting.

As soon as Kang Shilin asked, he said a lot of things freely. People who are not proficient in painting don't understand it very well, but they always feel that after Zhou Wenbai said this, Zhao Ruxi's painting is very powerful.
