Chapter 45: Calligraphy Contest (2)

The discussion suddenly stopped, because Ruan Qinge had already opened his eyes at this time.

She picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, waved her sleeve back, and began to write.

She is still young, her figure has not yet grown, her arms are not long, and it seems a little incompatible to hold a long hair. And she wore a long pale dress with a flowing skirt and loose cuffs, which was not very suitable for writing.

But she rolled up her sleeves disapprerovitously, revealing her snow-white forearms, and picked up the brush lightly and casually.

The moment she picked up the brush, her temperament seemed to be a little different.

Because she had attracted most people's attention by closing her eyes before, as soon as she picked up the pen this time, everyone looked at her.

Wen Ziran also set his eyes on her at this time, the expression on his face was still faint, his eyes were cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

I saw that her eyes were focused, as if she was in a no-man's land, holding a brush and writing a line of words on a white paper, unaffected by her size, her movements were like flowing clouds and water, flying wings and clouds, smooth and comfortable.

It didn't take long for her to stop writing.

At this time, Zhong Liyun had just finished his work, put down the brush, and looked at Ruan Tingge.

With a smug smile on his face, his eyes shining slightly defiantly above the veil, Zhong Liyun nodded at Ruan Tingge.

Ruan Qingge glanced at Zhong Liyun lightly, then turned his head to Ling Botao on the dragon chair and said, "Your Majesty, the princess and I have finished writing, and I invite Your Majesty and all the adults to appreciate it." ”

At this time, Ling Botao ordered the palace people to take the two characters and hang them on the two pillars in the hall.

As soon as the two characters were hung up, there was an uproar in the hall.

Zhong Liyun's words really have proud capital, her words are as graceful as a beautiful hairpin, tactful and freehand between the lines, the font is thin and slender but with bone strength, like frost forest flying leaves, and like mountains and streams hitting stones.

There are ten big characters on the paper: "People are idle and osmanthus flowers fall, and the night is quiet and the spring mountains are empty." ”

The artistic conception of the poem and her font complement each other, which is very harmonious and beautiful.

But everyone in the hall didn't look at her painting at all, but stared at the other one and whispered in amazement.

There is a line of poetry on the other word: "The peach blossoms are flowing and flowing, and there is no heaven and earth that is not in the world." ”

The word is cursive, at first glance it looks flamboyant and domineering, not restrained at all, and even the whole line is written down, like a fairy elegant and chic, coming and going without a trace.

But after a careful inspection, I found that its color, its shape, its shade and dampness, its intermittent tossing and turning, the thickness and thickness of the dew are all endlessly changing, and the weather is myriad.

This character gesture is majestic, the posture is horizontal, it should have a big ups and downs, the sense of opening and closing of the burly domineering, but from the end of the look, it seems that the posture is not exaggerated, the handwriting is flowing and flowing clouds, it seems that the writer is completely under the unintentional, so the palms of the hands are forgotten, and the artistic conception of the plain and white is more like smoke and indulgence, and the artistic conception of the poem is more complementary, adding color to each other.

is just a line of words, but it makes people fascinated and sigh.

Many scholars in the hall are full of poetry and books, love calligraphy and ink, see such a calligraphy work, can't help but stare at it, back and forth to appreciate it several times.

"The pen walks the dragon and snake, it is natural, it is really a good word, a good word!" A civil servant who loved calligraphy blushed and excitedly opened his mouth to praise loudly.

The white-bearded minister kept nodding his head, and the old man's voice was trembling, "What a blessing the old man is to be able to see the birth of a masterpiece here today." ”

Looking at Ruan Tingge, who was standing in the hall with a young and petite appearance, everyone could hardly imagine that this exquisite calligraphy was made by her.

Zhong Li looked at Ruan Tingge's words in a daze, his face under the veil was bloodless, and his lips moved, "How come..."

Although Zhong Liyun's painting is also good, compared with Ruan Tingge, there is no need to judge at all.

Zhong Liyun has studied piano and calligraphy since she was a child, and she is extremely talented, not to mention that among her peers, even compared with talented women who are many years older than her, she has never met an opponent.

And she is rich and famous in Nanning, known as the double of piano and calligraphy, and she is often proud of this, and today she sees a woman who is several years younger than herself, who can make such exquisite and superb calligraphy, and she can't help but feel deeply shocked and doubt herself.

Ling Botao could naturally see the advantages and disadvantages of the work, and he was in a good mood, so he smiled and said, "Both characters are good characters, which one do you think is better?" ”

Many ministers and officials in the palace said one after another at this time, "Naturally, the words of the Yun'an County Lord are better." ”

"To put it mildly, the level of these two characters is very different, and there is nothing to compare." One official said bluntly.

"The words of the lord of Yun'an are really not written by people with profound skills, there is a degree of retraction, the pen is old and beautiful, but there is a sense of natural nature." A civilian official shook his head in admiration.

"Comparing these two characters, one is a knowledgeable adult, and the other is a babbling toddler."

Many officials who were held back by Zhong Lixuan before wanted to get back the face they lost in the piano competition at this time as soon as they had the opportunity.

Ruan Qingge glanced at the surprised expressions of his father and eldest brother, and then at the admiring and appreciative eyes of others, and sighed slightly in his heart, he was in the limelight today.

She quickly adjusted her mentality, and thought freely, so what's the matter? Now I am different from the past, when the time comes, the army will come to block the water and cover the earth, why be afraid?

Hearing the ministers' remarks, Ling Botao was in a better mood, he had always been not broad-minded, and he was very concerned about the fact that Zhong Liyu made his face unbearable during the previous piano competition.

At this time, he deliberately asked Zhong Li, "Who does the princess think will win and who will lose in this competition?" ”

Zhong Liyun kept looking at Ruan Tingge's words in a daze, his eyes were dull and his mind was restless, as if he had never heard Ling Botao's question.

Seeing that his question was not answered, Ling Botao's face sank, and the eunuch on the side shouted at this time, "Bold! Thirteenth princess, why didn't you reply when the emperor asked? ”

Zhong Liyun came back to his senses at this time, and seeing Ling Botao's unhappy face, Ying Ying bent down and said, "The words of the county lord of Yun'an are too subtle, I was fascinated for a while, I have never heard His Majesty's question, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”

Seeing that Zhong Liyun returned to normal so quickly, there was no mistake in his verbal response. Ruan Tingge was wary of her and looked at her deeply.

Ling Botao had a cold face, and it took a while for Zhong Liyu to get up, "Listen to the princess, is it to admit that the Lord of Yun'an County is better than you?" ”

Zhong Lixuan stood up tremblingly, and glanced at Ruan Qingge slightly, there seemed to be a trace of unwillingness and resentment in his eyes, but he quickly took it back.

She lowered her chin slightly, and replied softly, "The Yun'an County Lord's calligraphy skills are profound, and I am far from being defeated. In this competition, it was naturally the Yun'an County Lord who won. ”
