Chapter 241: Peerless Elegance (2)
Xia Qianmin thought hard for a long time, put the rice paper and the red brocade where the pen and inkstone were placed in front of him, dipped the ink with the ink with his left index finger and released the excess ink on the brocade, and carefully drew the main stem and side branches of the plum on the rice paper with his fingertips.
In modern life, her paintings are not very good, and can only be said to be slightly basic.
But when she painted the big plane tree some time ago, she got a lot of inspiration, and found that the bone method of the east and west bones drawn was strong and realistic, which should be the ability of the original owner of this body to be inherited.
The bold and unrestrained romantic thoughts, combined with the painting skills of the original owner of this body, she used five fingers as a pen to sketch the bluestone, tree branches, and plum blossoms into a rudimentary shape.
The focus of the flowers is out, and she uses the modern finger painting method. After wiping off the thick ink on the fingertips, using the fingernails of the thumb stained with red clay as a tool, the smiling face, the cute face, the dull face, and the sleeping face were drawn on the fingertips of the other four fingers, and then printed on the plum blossoms that were highlighted.
A picture of the lovely red plum blossom in spring was completed, and seeing that several other people had not yet put down the pen, she used the nails of her little thumb to add stamens to the plum blossoms, and added two red lanterns.
Looking at He Jinliang, whose eyes were bigger than copper bells on the side, Xia Qian suddenly had a feeling of returning to the college entrance examination.
The palace maid stared at the painting in front of Xia Qian and smiled from ear to ear, and Gonggong Li smiled so much that his shoulders floated, and he rarely looked back at her twice.
"Haha, this is good! A group of naughty and cute baby faces, they feel comfortable when they see it. In the past, I have seen a lot of cold and cold red plum pictures, but this one has a different mood. The plum blossom branches are in spring, the game is tense for a few days, and you are also relaxed! Take it and see more! After the painting was successfully passed, the emperor laughed.
The palace maid took this painting and displayed it in front of the contestants and the guests at the banquet, except for Huo Zun and the four opponents, all of them smiled happily.
When Xia Qian replaced Li Mao, the eyebrows of the other four opponents were twisted together, and her talent and appearance were already famous all over the world half a year ago.
Knowing that she had ruined her appearance and lost her sense of taste and smell, these people were very happy on the way to the competition, and they didn't see Xia Qian in the competition a few days ago, and their hearts were half more steady.
That expected, she came with such an ugly face today, without makeup, and she played cards completely out of common sense.
Huo Zun had a bunch of questions in his heart, from the fact that she ate the fish bone to the various stupidities after the competition, he couldn't understand it.
Xia Qian was holding the spoon and eating with his left hand just now, he noticed it, and before he could ask her, he stuck a fish bone, and then used his left hand to paint, was his right hand injured?
He looked at her quietly, his eyes full of doubt.
The poems and paintings are followed by musical instruments, and at the beginning they are impromptu dances to the sound of music.
Because the difficulty has increased a lot, each group can have three chances to give up, and after three times, they can't dance or lose, or one of the groups has to quit the game if they sit on the cold bench seven times in a row.
The first place winner in this round can choose the next event.
Gonggong Li seemed to be tired of seeing in the same direction, and finally turned around, and Xia Qian could finally see the rules of the game he announced.
"Do you know how to dance?" Xia Qian looked at He Jinliang with a serious face.
He Jinliang also shook his head seriously.
Xia Qian rubbed her eyebrows and couldn't help but sigh lightly.
She couldn't even hear her own voice, so how could she improvise and dance to a tune?
In the painting just now, she was the first to lead the way because of the innovation, and she was the first one in this round of improvisational dance.
Seeing the musician take a guqin out, Xia Qian's face was gloomy, and she had no choice but to give up.
gave up three times in a row, and there was a riot in the hall, Xia Qian's piano skills, singing and dancing were notoriously good, and he was sitting here at the moment and looking at others stupidly, with a look of disregard for himself.
"Are you sure you give up a third time? After this time, there is no chance to give up? Gonggong Li asked in disbelief.
Xia Qian glanced at He Jinliang, turned around and nodded to Gonggong Li in confirmation.
The other four opponents competed for three rounds, and she watched the musicians play a total of twelve pieces, seven or eight of which she recognized by the expressions on the musicians' faces, the fingering between her hands, and the floating strings, and four or five that she did not.
Xia Qian looked at it and couldn't help but be grateful to Situ Jun for coming.
Although she was already a little obsessed with classical music, if it weren't for the Spring Festival last year, Situ Jun dragged her to listen to tunes in Liuyun Pavilion for an afternoon, and stuffed all the famous tunes of this era into her mind, even if she looked good, she could only recognize four or five songs.
She suppressed her nervousness, looked at the musician's fingers and instruments over and over again, and finally by the eleventh piece, she could roughly discern the tone and main theme of the unfamiliar piece.
Take a closer look, the four opponents have deducted the eliminated, plus the substitutes, and there are seven people, counting her and He Jinliang, there are still nine people left.
She had an injury on her right hand, and when she danced on the piano, she had to not only focus on her left hand, but also look at the strings in the musician's hand, especially when it was unfamiliar, and she almost couldn't take her eyes off each other.
She almost got brushed in the first three rounds of the dance, the fourth and fifth rounds passed smoothly, and there was a mistake in the sixth, but fortunately, the mistake was not big, and she was lucky to pass the test after being made up for by the perfect dance.
In the seventh round, He Jingling was eliminated because she sat on the cold bench seven times in a row.
It's a difficult competition, but it's a basic skill for a good dancer, and she narrowly missed out four times in seven rounds, while others not only passed perfectly, but also seemed to have discovered her weakness - as long as it dragged on like this, she would be out sooner or later.
Xia Qian pondered for a long time, and noticed that the opponent was holding fans, flowers and other props during the game, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked the palace maid for a three-zhang colorful satin.
As she reached the center of the hall, the musician grinned, and after a moment, the smile that had come to her face was suppressed out of politeness.
Before I heard the music, I dared to choose such an exaggerated prop, and a discerning person knew that he was digging his own grave at a glance!
The musicians are cross-rotated, and her musician this time is from the East Wing, so he obviously won't help her for personal gain.
Xia Qian knew that if she continued to be passive, she would be eliminated sooner or later. Only by making dangerous moves and changing the game program can she have a chance of surviving.
The three-zhang long colorful satin, held on both hands, except for the length of the arm and the width of the body, there are eight meters left, and the left and right hands are divided into four meters each, she has not played.
It's just that now that her right hand is injured, she can only fix the ribbon on the back of her hand, and the ribbon dance on her right hand will be somewhat limited.
To make up for this, she deliberately combined the softness of ballet, using solid toe kung fu and difficult movements such as jumping on her legs to dance this dance to the extreme.
Xia Qian originally thought that she only danced a few difficult amazing movements to disturb the melody of the pianist, but she didn't expect that after the musician's melody was turned into the ditch by her, the other party was still deeply intoxicated and played music for her.
The musician is big on the field, and the other party has not stopped, and she can't stop, and this dance was originally a desperate set for the musician, and she transformed the musician's melody with her amazing, shocking, and vigorous dance posture, so that she could play it for herself.
After dancing for three songs, she almost went through all the amazing dances she could think of at that time, although none of them were repeated, but her physical strength was a little exhausted.
I thought that the other party was deliberately embarrassed after reacting, but I didn't expect that after seeing her movements soften, the other party smiled and stood up and said three words seriously: "I lost!" ”
Xia Qian took a long breath, and recounted turning the tide and winning the option of the next event.
In this round, although she won completely, she was also physically exhausted, and it was difficult to even stand, and the pain in her throat was unbearable.
