Chapter 24: Why Choose the Worst?
Cao Gongzi closed his eyes and recuperated, Li Dahao scratched his ears and cheeks, Sikong Fu and Gao Ya whispered something, as if their hearts were not here.
Wang Niang was nervous, she knew that the calligraphy of the epic qin was very good, and she was Murong Qi'er's biggest opponent, but Zhu Ziyi was good at painting, and her calligraphy would not be too bad, I hope Yue'er would not lose too ugly, even if she was at the bottom, she could write a few more words.
After a while, half of the incense was burned.
Yue'er had no distractions, she didn't see Ouyang Mu, she just wanted to copy down all the pages of the notebook she remembered.
There was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard, followed by the sound of crackling firecrackers.
Everyone in the room frowned, not knowing what had happened.
After a short time, Steward Mo came in to report.
"Everyone, someone outside has sent a flower basket gift!"
Ouyang Mu said: "What kind of gift, is it a dispute to wish the little oiran?"
"Yes, it's just to congratulate Miss Yue'er on her ascension to the position of the little Oiran in Windy City."
Mother-in-law Zhu glanced at Wang Niang, revealing disdain, and the other three girls stopped their pens and threw a glance at Yue'er, all of whom looked disdainful.
Ouyang Mu was surprised.
"Who sent it?"
"There is no name, but the person who gave the gift is Bai Ye's subordinates."
Ouyang Mu held his hand and said with a smile: "Just accept it." He glanced at Yue'er, as if asking, is this for you to cheer?
Yue'er concentrated on writing her own words, and didn't pay attention to it at all.
Wang Niang was in a complicated mood, this must have been sent by Bailiguang, whether he was a threat or a pleaser, I don't know, anyway, this guy is afraid of General Zhao, he shouldn't be here to provoke, as for wishing Yue'er to get the little oiran, he is making a show, maybe it's to please General Zhao.
Shang Wenda looked left and right, and whispered to an old man in Xuanyi beside him: "The current little Oiran is not as good as a year after year, and there are fewer and fewer people watching the excitement outside. ”
The old man in Xuanyi glanced at Shang Wenda strangely, and said: "It can only be said that the day of the little oiran has not been picked well, today is the day when the two princes of the big bird country enter the capital to pay tribute, and the emperor personally went out of the palace to greet him, and everyone went to the gate of the palace to see the excitement!" ”
Speaking of Nagong, in fact, Da Wei pays tribute to the big bird country every year, and the two princes are here to receive tribute, but they will also bring some gifts, which is to give Da Wei face, but the folk say that it becomes a big bird to pay tribute to Da Kong.
Shang Wenda was bored and said, "What's so nice about the prince of the big bird?" ”
The old man in Xuanyi smiled and said, "The prince is nothing good-looking, but the princess is different." ”
"What princess?"
"Princess Xiao Ricuo of the Yue Kingdom."
"Princess Yueguo, is the thirteenth princess who is known as the first pearl of the grassland?"
"Yes, compared with the first pearl of the grassland, the little Oiran is much inferior."
A middle-aged man in brocade clothes next to the two pouted when he heard this, and said: "My Dawei woman is charming and beautiful, peerless, how can it be compared with the barbarians, those who watch the excitement will take advantage of the excitement and return in defeat!" ”
Talking and laughing, a stick of incense is exhausted.
The four girls each put down their pens, and a girl ring came up to collect the words.
Yue'er only glanced at the silent post of the other three at this time, she saw that the epic qin was written in a line book, the font was elegant and beautiful, and it was really profound, in contrast, although her own words were upright, she could only barely be qualified.
The girls spread the words written by the four of them on the ground, and the guests and Cao Gongzi got up and left their seats and came down to watch.
Two of these four characters are the same, both are in line script, and they are in the same copy, another in cursive and one in regular script.
Ouyang Mu said: "A few judges and guests will take a look at which one is the best." ”
Li Dahao pretended to look at it for a while, and said: "This king thinks that this one is the best, you see, it is neat and upright." ”
Cao Gongzi smiled and said, "Lord Wang, do you know what words she wrote and what kind of post she wrote?" ”
Li Dahao suddenly had a headache, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You are experts, you have the final say, this king just likes generous words." ”
Sikong replied: "The prince is interested in "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming", which is Ouyang Xun's post. ”
Li Dahao said: "Okay, anyway, this king doesn't understand, I like this character." ”
Yue'er was happy in her heart, Li Dahao, a treacherous person, inadvertently helped herself at this time, she had a vote, at least she would not be at the bottom in this round.
Cao Gongzi looked at Gao Yanei and said, "Do you have a high opinion in Yanei?" ”
Gao Gongzi is a gentleman, where does he know how to appreciate calligraphy, when he looks at several other dragons and phoenixes, he doesn't know the words, so he said: "I have the same opinion as the prince, I think this "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" is the best and most serious. He was worried that he would read out the sheets, but he couldn't.
Zhu Mother-in-law's face was ugly, this Gao Yanei obviously gave him a gift, although he didn't point it out, but he didn't support Murong Qi'er at the critical moment.
Cao Gongzi looked at Sikong Fu and asked, "What about Sikong Gongzi's high opinion?" ”
Sikong Fu pointed to a piece of paper and said: "My son likes this one, this is Ouyang Xunlin Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface", this word has both the style of Europe and the essence of the king, which can be called a masterpiece. ”
This "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is Murong Qi'er's calligraphy, and the other calligraphy is also Lin's "Orchid Pavilion Preface", in comparison, Murong Qi'er is obviously a cut higher.
Cao Gongzi looked at Ouyang Mu.
"What about Lord Ouyang's high opinion?"
Ouyang Mu laughed, pointed to the two characters and said: "Sikong Gongzi can see it accurately, but the old man loves these two words the most, one is "Orchid Pavilion Preface", and the other is this Huaisu's "Self-Narrative Post". ”
It is the epic qin that wrote the "self-narrative post", the epic qin is good at poetry and writing, and she has also put a lot of effort into calligraphy, this time her goal is to defeat Murong Qi'er, so she challenged Huaisu, but she didn't think that Yue'er had two votes, Murong Qi'er had one vote, and she didn't get one vote.
But the most ugly face on the field is still Mother Meng, her Zhu Ziyi is good at Go and painting, and the calligraphy of ordinary painters is not weak, how can she think that her daughter will be ranked second, she didn't expect to crash Murong Qi'er, they all wrote "Lanting Preface", and this time they were compared.
Ouyang Mu said: "These two words have their own merits, both are masterpieces, so that the old man is embarrassed, Cao Gongzi just made a silent post, and designated it is Yan Liuou, although this "self-description post" is good, but unfortunately off topic, the old man still chooses Murong Girl's "Orchid Pavilion Preface", this final decision, please also ask Cao Gongzi to decide. ”
This time, Murong Qi'er and Yue'er each voted two to see who Cao Gongzi voted for in the end.
Yue'er was not at the bottom, she was already very happy, she knew that with Cao Gongzi's knowledge, she would definitely vote for Murong Qi'er.
Cao Gongzi laughed and glanced at Yue'er as if unintentionally.
Yue'er's heart jumped, and she said secretly: "What does he mean?" ”
Sure enough, Cao Gongzi said with a smile: "Xiaosheng likes this "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming". ”
Ouyang Mu was surprised.
"Why did Childe choose the worst one?"
Hearing Ouyang Mu say this, Li Dahao and Gao Yanei's faces were a little unbearable, and all the guests laughed, and in the laughter, Shang Wenda's voice was the loudest.
Li Dahao saw that the clerk on the side kept recording, and couldn't help but say angrily: "I can't remember this just now." ”
The clerk smiled, nodded, and continued to record, Li Dahao snatched his notebook, read it for a long time and didn't understand it all, and returned it to him angrily.
Cao Gongzi said: "Xiaosheng has already said when he came out of the question before, you must copy a famous post of Yan Liuou, who writes more, complete, and good, in order to win, this question, the good words are ranked last, everyone has gone off topic, only Miss Yue'er does not." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the guests felt justified and nodded their heads, only Shang Wenda shook his head and said: "This question is a calligraphy question, and it should be solved by words." ”
Murong Qi'er was surprised: "The "Orchid Pavilion Preface" that I am in is a copy of Mr. Ou, so it can't be considered off-topic, right?" ”
"The Orchid Pavilion Preface is the name of Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Ouyang Xun doesn't have a name post, is he famous for the "Orchid Pavilion Introduction"?"
"This-"
Murong Qi'er was speechless for a while, and Epic Qin and Zhu Ziyi were also depressed, in order to pursue difficulty, they ignored the basic requirements of the question.
