It's been nearly two months since I came to the Orange Painting Garden, and this is the second time I've seen Zhou Yuan, and I doubt that she will lose her impression of me, and I should introduce myself to her again.

Guess what she said to me?

"How are you doing here?" She swept the courtyard with wide eyes, which she had already mastered, and finally fixed her gaze on mine, and said a tepid word.

"It's fine!"

"This is the courtyard where Qingying-level painters live."

"Is it not proper for Aru to live there?" I whispered as she meant, and I was polite first.

"Yes." She looked at me intently and said bluntly, "It's for Zhou Mubai's sake, and now everyone treats you well or not because of his face, including me, Huanyi, and the weekend." Now, no matter what others say, you must know in your own heart that the Orange Painting Garden at this moment is all because you are a lonely and weak woman, and you can also be a distant relative of our Zhou family. If you don't do well in the introductory exam after seven days, no one will take you seriously unless you want to be another weekend. Orange Painting Garden, everything follows the painting skills, and I do the same for Zhou Mubai. ”

"Aru understands."

I suddenly came to my senses.,Now Mo Qing doesn't come to guide me.,I don't even know what the main test is in the entrance assessment.,Others.,I'm half-baked.,Plus I've been busy studying the painting to be repaired a few days ago.,Although there's no progress.。 It's really boring, which one should I do first? None of them looked serious.

I'm trying to repair the broken painting in the form of a counter-painting, first copying as much of the original painting as possible, then trying to dye the ink with white paint to the same color as the white paper, and then starting to restore the form on the spare copy, I'm stuck here, it's too difficult, my way is still too shallow.

On the weekend, he said that he would go out with me to relax, and he said that he could tell me some rules for the entrance assessment, don't trust him, although he has also lived in the Orange Painting Garden for nearly 20 years, but what are the rules, he is also bullshit, and it is obvious from this point that he is just in the Orange Painting Garden.

"Lord Zhou Yuan seems to be a little unkind." I say.

The weekend couldn't wait to say: "It's not just a little bit, it's just that the six relatives don't recognize it." When I was ten years old, she forced me to take the entrance exam, and the result was that my grades were so miserable that she wanted to kick me out, my parents were dead, and one of her aunts was so lonely and helpless to me. ”

"And then? How are you? ”

"In the end, I knelt at the door of the Orange Painting Garden and cried for three days and three nights, before someone couldn't see it anymore and pleaded for me, so I stayed."

"Won't it?"

In fact, this is the case, and later Zhou Mubai told me: On the weekend, he didn't learn all day long, and he always relied on himself to be a boy to bully the little girl in the garden. Later, the owner of the garden thought of a way to let him go to the entrance assessment, and if he lied to him, he would not let him stay in the orange painting garden, the purpose was to poke his sharpness and make him not so arrogant.

"Anyway, Aru, you have to live, of course I don't think it's a big problem for you to live."

"What are the main tests in the entrance assessment?"

"Simple, first of all, it's painting theory, and you won't get too much in the introductory painting theory, you've been memorizing it for two months, and it's absolutely no problem. Secondly, it is in a hall, draw a painting that you are best at within the specified time, not limited to the type of style, I looked at the lotus you painted that day, it looks very good, and even the jade girl didn't point out anything, you just draw that, you can pass it. Finally, the question is made by the assessment of the gentleman, and the painting is also made within the specified time, and the painting will be received as soon as the time is reached, and then handed over to the gentlemen to evaluate and rank. The combined top 10 will be a good way to get started. I have a feeling you must be out of the question. ”

"What's a comprehensive law?"

"It is said that it is a painting theory, self-made, and limited works account for 30%, 50%, and 20% respectively, don't think so much, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and now relax well. Haven't you always wanted to go to Hejian Lake? We missed the peak season of lotus appreciation in April and May, but now there is Oh again, and Hejian Lake is going to be lively again in the last two months. ”

"What's hilarious."

"Lantern Festival, Aru, this Xicheng people are not rich, but they are also fun and very good at playing. Wind painting in February, flower painting in March and April, lotus boat painting in May and June, lantern festival in September and October, and New Year painting at the end of the first month of the lunar month. ”

"This flower painting, lotus boat painting, lantern festival, and New Year's painting are all easy to understand, what is this wind painting?"

"Wind painting is not painting the wind, it is painting with the wind."

"Painting with the wind."

"Think about it, what can you do if there is wind in spring? In mid-February, there will be a three-day kite festival where the children will ask a street artist to draw various patterns on their paper kites, and then it will not be who flies the highest, but whose kite flies the best. The children are also divided into two groups, one is responsible for flying kites, and the other is responsible for cutting kite strings, specializing in cutting ugly kites. ”

"Huh? The kids didn't all cut and play. ”

"What kind of aesthetic did our children grow up under since they were children? Can someone who has been infected by painting since he was a child be the same as children elsewhere? ”

Sure enough, as soon as I arrived today, I was in front of my eyes, there were a lot of lanterns hanging on the bridge railing, and even the paintings on the lamp wall were very exquisite. As I said at the weekend, every lantern on this bridge railing has a origin. All the street artists in Yudu have to paint a painting that they think is the best, and then all the paintings will be collected and glued out of the lampshade. This lantern will be a lantern festival, so naturally it is necessary to see the lights. At night, someone will also glue a small strip of red tassel under their favorite lamp. After the lantern festival, there will be statistics, whoever has the most tassel strips will get three taels of silver and the title of "lamp king".

There are a lot of small activities like these rains, and I said why don't you come often that weekend, and he said that it is like that every year, and he has seen it all the time.

From afar, there are crowds of people, not only pedestrians, but also those selling gadgets have come out, and the flow of people has driven the vendors and small shops to hide, and ah, the four shores of the lake are in this prosperous state.

"Are there so many people in Xicheng?" I couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course not, these are people from several cities near the rain capital, and the biggest highlight of the lantern festival is at night." Weekend laughs.

Sure enough, when I waited for the evening, I stood on the side of the bridge railing and looked at the colorful lights on the lake railing, and the reflection in the lake was even more sparkling. Towards the end of the evening, there are already many people who can't wait to release lotus lanterns on the lake, at this moment even the center of the lake is also swaying, and after a while, the lake has been completely covered by the swaying lotus lanterns of candles, here is like a world surrounded by bright stars.

"The magic of the Lantern Festival lies in this Hejian Lake, it is said that if you make a wish sincerely, release a lotus lantern, and the gods in the lake will fulfill your wishes, especially for those who make a wish for the first time, there is a chance that they will be spiritual." Bought me a lotus lantern over the weekend for me to make a wish.

"Thank you!" I smiled and held it in my hand, closed my eyes and made a wish, although I didn't expect much success.

"Aru." As soon as I finished making a wish, a slightly familiar voice appeared in my ears, and I turned to look...
