This morning's Gentleman's Building. It was even more lively than yesterday, perhaps because yesterday's piano competition was too unexpected, everyone had something to talk about, and everywhere they went, they could hear people whispering about Lu Shuqing's song about wine last night.

Mrs. Cheng and Lu went to the bamboo building to watch the competition together, Lu knew yesterday morning that Fang Qiao was one of the judgments of the five academies art competition, last night in the carriage on the way back, she took the initiative to mention this matter, so that Yi Yu and Lu Zhi should not worry about her, let alone be affected by this incident The two of them played in the art competition, the brother and sister were afraid that she would be uncomfortable, because of her words, they were indeed a lot more relieved.

Today's painting art competition, two brothers and sisters have to participate, the venue for playing the piano yesterday in the building has been vacated, there are forty-five seats placed horizontally nine and vertically, each case has pen, ink, paper, inkstone, bamboo tube, cinnabar and other things, the jade they enter the building from the Lan Building, the venue is still empty, but in addition to the Lan Building, the other three buildings on the first floor of the outside seats are all full.

After thinking about it for a while, Yi Yu knew what these people were thinking. At noon yesterday, many people heard that King Wu and King Wei would come to watch the competition today, the location is on the second floor of the Lan Building, sitting a little outside, even if you can't participate in the competition, you can take a few more glances at the two princes who are rare to see on weekdays.

Before Yibi's bell rang, Yiyu and they casually found a place to sit down in the Lanlou, where there were few people, Cheng Xiaohu saw Yiyu just now, and her eyes never left the bag she was carrying, and Yiyu took down the bag that Pingtong had prepared for her in the cloak and gave it to him.

Cheng Xiaopang took the bag and took it out on the table, and asked, "Is the eyebrow crisp still there today?" ”

Yi Yu didn't look at it carefully, "I don't know, don't eat too much dim sum, beware of not being able to eat at noon." ”

Cheng Xiaopang agreed, but he didn't know if he listened to it, he just took out the bamboo tube with dried fruits, and Cheng Xiaofeng stretched out his hand to fish it out.

She poured out a few beans from the tube and threw them into her mouth, but her eyes looked left and right inside and outside the building, and muttered softly: "Eldest Sun Xian didn't lose the art competition yesterday, I didn't dare to come, and I didn't see anyone here, I still have something to tell her, Xiaoyu, you help me take a look, where is she sitting." ”

Yi Yu knew that every time she fought with Changsun Xian, she would lose the wind, so she seized the opportunity to see the joke, and said, "You can see it when the next art competition starts." ”

For the piano competition, Lu Shuqing took the woodcarving. Yi Yu sighed a little, Changsun Xian is such a tall person, it seems that he doesn't eat fireworks, but he actually attaches great importance to reputation, and he is pressed down by a "little-known" person in the capital in the best place, he must be hit, and he will be hit by this eldest lady of Shangshufu who secretly harmed her three times and twice, and she can see her deflated, and Yu Yu can't say it with a clear conscience, and she doesn't have a trace of refreshment in her heart.

Cheng Xiaofeng turned his head to look at Yi Yu, and his mouth grinned, "What I said is, I must sit next to her later." ”

Yi Yu chuckled twice, and then heard the bell ringing, and the judgment seat on the upper floor of Mei on the opposite side was already full, on the second day of this art competition, the sacrificial wine did not go downstairs to speak, and some of the students who had already arrived came out of the building, carrying their own school bags, and sat down in the venue at will.

Cheng Xiaofeng was thinking about waiting for the eldest Sun Xian to take a seat. She sat next to the house, and waved her hand to let Lu Zhi and Yiyu go and sit first.

The two brothers and sisters found a neighbor seat, sat facing the bamboo building, Yiyu looked upstairs, there were a lot of people, she swept around before she saw the figures of Lu and Mrs. Cheng on the right seat.

Yi Yu wanted to wave at the Lu family, but he was afraid that Fang Qiao on the judgment table would see it, so he could only give up. There was a sudden movement in the quiet building, and the two hands of the painting tools on the jade inspection case stopped, turned his head to look at the orchid building on the right, and saw two figures bowing to the officials on the incense gallery, and walked to the two seats in the middle.

Yi Yu squinted slightly, looked at Li Tai, who had only seen him two quarters of an hour ago, upstairs, and only felt that today's sky was much better than yesterday.

Nearly 40 reference students have arrived, Changsun Xian and Lu Shuqing, who won the victory yesterday, are late, but Changsun Xi is nowhere to be seen.

Coincidentally, there are not many remaining positions on the field, and there are just three seats behind and on the right side of the Yu Yu, after Changsun Xian frowned, the Yu Yu sat down behind him, and Cheng Xiaofeng swayed out of nowhere, sitting behind the Yu Diagonally.

Yi Yu looked back, and saw the cold face of the eldest grandson, without the loss she imagined, Cheng Xiaofeng reached out and tapped twice on the case, and after attracting her attention, he asked:

"Xiaoyu, we didn't come yesterday afternoon, and I don't know who got the woodcut of the piano art. Have you heard? ”

The jade didn't mean to fall into the well, but Cheng Xiaofeng opened her mouth, but she wouldn't not, Changsun Xian did so many "good things" to her, and a while ago she even rushed to Gao Yang to make her angry, if it wasn't for the damage to Yu Shinan's copybook, she would have been rare to be quiet so far, there is no reason to save face for such a person, but let Cheng Xiaofeng not come to the stage.

So, she turned sideways again, with doubts on her face, but her whisper could be heard clearly, "Isn't it the eldest grandson?" ”

Changsun Xian sat behind her, her back was straight, her chin was slightly raised, and she could only find out how stiff her face was by looking at the smile on her face.

Cheng Xiaofeng held back a smile, and directly turned his head to Chang Sun Xian and asked, "Eh, congratulations on winning the woodcut of the piano art yesterday!" ”

Eldest Sun Xian sneered unceremoniously, "No need, it's Miss Lu who has the woodcarving," she glanced at the jade, "It's Miss Lu from Tai Academy." ”

Yi Yu saw her aim the knife at herself. But he didn't answer, and after Cheng Xiaofeng gave a modest look, he turned around and sat upright, and there were two cold snorts of different heights behind him.

After half a cup of tea, Changsun Xi trotted over from the Lan Building, Yi Yu was studying ink, and suddenly felt the figure around him flicker, and he saw Changsun Xi sitting down on her right side, Shui Ling's little face was flushed, panting lightly because of running, she had not yet sat down. He waved sideways at the top of the Lan Lou, and the laughter like a silver bell rang crisply, attracting the sideways glances of nearby students.

Yi Yu felt that this laughter was a little uncomfortable in his ears, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the person upstairs, but after seeing the black-haired jade crown, he hooked the corners of his lower lip and quickly turned his head away.

Li Taizheng listened to Li Ke talking to the official next to him without saying a word, his eyelids drooped slightly, looking at one of the rows of seats downstairs, suddenly a snow-blue figure blocked his vision, an arm shook in his field of vision, he pursed his lower lip, and the next moment he saw a plain little face behind the arm and turned his head to look at this side quickly, he caught that smile, and his blue and blue pupils flickered slightly.

"Knock-knock-knock"

The second time the bell rang, the sacrificial wine raised his arm and gestured, and a wide and long huge banner rolled down from the four sides of the Junzi Building, and the book was written - a cold mountain and snowy night.

The sacrificial wine tapped the hanging bell on the table a few times, and the forty-five students in the venue downstairs, some of them immediately picked up pens and paper, while others were frowning and thinking.

After thinking about it carefully, Yi Yu gestured on the paper with his bare hands for a while before going to get the pen. This topic is much clearer than yesterday's "singing about wine", the main and secondary in the painting has been named, the test is not only the foundation, but also the imagination, the cold mountain will paint the snow, only the mountains and snow are obviously too simple, how to make the picture plump, this is a difficult point.

Time passed little by little, Lu Shi and Mrs. Cheng whispered while drinking tea, Cheng Xiaohu pushed aside an empty dim sum box, poured the dried fruits in the bamboo tube to the classmates next to him, and the doctors on the judgment bench whispered some recent painting experience.

Fang Qiao put his hands on his lap and looked fixedly at the pair of brothers and sisters sitting next to each other on the field downstairs, and Dr. Cha of Tai Academy picked up the tea cup. After a few words with him, who had been silent, Fang Qiao slowly led the topic to yesterday's piano competition, and said without a trace:

"The students who participated in this competition are still the best in the Tai Academy of Cha Lao, except for Miss Na Lu yesterday, I think there are a few good ones, all of them are Cha Lao's students."

Zha Jiwen stroked his beard lightly and said with a smile: "There are a few good ones, next year's imperial examination, I am looking forward to those children helping me fight for some face." ”

"Oh?" Fang Qiao's tone was light, "Who are these people, I remember playing the piano, the son of the eldest grandson's family is good, and the son of the Zhou Shilang family is also very good, it seems that among the first few people, there is also a well-qualified son, hiss, what is it called?" ”

Cha Jiwen answered, "What you said is-" He stretched out his hand and pointed downstairs, "The one sitting in the southeast corner is not short, is he?" ”

Fang Qiao looked at it fixedly and said, "Yes, yes, it's this person, whose son is this, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

Zha Jiwen leaned over to him, and said in a low voice: "Let's whisper, don't let Lao Yan hear it, and you should blow your beard and stare at me again, this is not the son of Jingzhong, it is the old man who wants to come from the Four Academies, you should have heard of the Mid-Autumn Festival....."

Zha Jiwen told it, as if he told a story, Dao is a young man who was born in the common people and could only endorse, how he sharpened his blade in the Guozi Prison, Fang Qiao listened carefully and rarely interjected, which greatly satisfied Zha Jiwen's problem of talking, and the two talked happily.

At noon, the bell rang on time, Yi Yu and Lu Zhi finished painting early, the ink had been dried up, only one or two students in the next seat had not finished, hearing the buzzing bell, they were even more panicked, and when the scholar stepped forward to collect the scroll, he had to stop his pen, with a look of frustration.

The two brothers and sisters took advantage of the scholar's scroll to look at each other's paintings, Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows, his eyes showed a little surprise, but he whispered:

"So-so."

Yi Yuzheng looked at Lu Zhi's painting with some amazement, and when he heard him say this, he glared at him, and deliberately snorted at his painting, saying, "It's not satisfactory." ”

After speaking, both of them lowered their heads and laughed, and they both raised their heads together and nodded at the Lu family's seat on the bamboo building.
