After the scholars took all the forty-five paintings. Presented to the judgment bench on the Mei Building, each judge was divided into five, and of course, the paintings assigned to the president of the five academies were all staggered.

The students on the field sat in twos and threes, talking while anxiously waiting for the results, and the four academy students who had done something hastily just now because of lack of time all had a pale face, but no one noticed.

There are a few people who are good at danqing, obviously playing well, some of them bowed their heads and stole fun, and some of them looked proud, surrounded by several students wearing the same color and clothes, and they have begun to congratulate in a low voice.

Seeing that the results had not yet come out, these people began to discuss where to celebrate, which was quite funny, and most of the students of Guozijian, no matter how talented they were, seemed to be very confident.

Cheng Xiaofeng left his seat and sat down on the right hand side of Yi Yu, and asked Lu Zhi, "Ah Zhi, how did you draw this time." ”

Lu Zhi was holding a brush in a bamboo tube. borrowed the evaluation of the jade just now, and said: "It's unsatisfactory." ”

He has participated in several art competitions of the Five Academies, and has won woodcarving in painting, chess and etiquette. He is already out of the limelight, obviously in a good mood, in this country, whether it is true or superficial, there are already many students who respect him, these people are the new blood who will replace the officials in Beijing in the future, and the influence he needs to leave is enough.

It doesn't mean much to him whether he takes the woodcut or not, if it weren't for the jade, his name would definitely not be in the selection of people this time. The first place in the five academies is not as simple as looking on the surface, just getting a woodcut! Otherwise, how could so many students flock to it?

Cheng Xiaofeng listened to Lu Zhi's self-evaluation, and his face was very depressed, "Huh? I hope you take this woodcut, let's celebrate at noon. ”

"Wait a few days, if you take the woodcut in archery, it's not too late for us to go again." Yiyu Road.

She heard that Lu Zhi was joking about what she had just said, and when she saw that Cheng Xiaofeng was serious, she didn't explain, although the picture of the cold mountain and snowy night made by her eldest brother did have the strength to take woodcuts in her opinion, but who could guarantee that she would not kill a dark horse like yesterday.

"Xiaoyu, what about you?" Cheng Xiaofeng was guided by Mrs. Cheng from a famous teacher since she was a child, and she was not worried that she would be at the bottom. I'm afraid that it is said that Danqing's not very good relic jade will be unlucky to get the worst.

Without waiting for Yi Yu to speak, Lu Zhi replied for her: "So-so." ”

"Huh?"

......

Changsun Xian listened to their conversation with a sneer while packing up the things on the case.

After Fang Qiao got the painting, he first flipped through it one by one and looked for the name of the checkout office, but unfortunately there was nothing he was looking for.

A quarter of an hour later, each of the nine judges chose the best and the least of the paintings in their hands, and handed over the rest to the scholars to sort out, first circulated the best to each other, and in less than half a cup of tea, they decided the worst of the paintings.

Then the remaining nine good ones were commented on one by one, the second ones were eliminated, the good ones were left, and the last ones left were the best.

"This color is good, but it's a pity that the picture is too single, a few people to see, whether to discard it."

After a few "discarded" sounds, the painting was circled with cinnabar by sacrificial wine and put on the back, which was no longer considered optimal.

Zha Jiwen took one from the doctor of the School of Computing, and saw that it was no longer a somewhat cookie-cutter mountain and snow scene. Instead, the distant mountains and cold mountains set off the cedars in the vicinity, there is a moon on the mountain, there is a pine under the moon, and there is a hidden mountain in the pine, which is interlocking, and there is a sense of wonder.

His eyes lit up, he glanced at the name of the cashier, and after a light "huh", he handed the painting to the person on the side, "I think it's good, what do you think?" ”

After a few people passed it, Fang Qiao finally reached out to pick it up, and still looked at the payment first, and saw the words "Lu Yiyu of the Bingchen Teaching House of the Academy of Books" written in the beautiful but tall small characters on it, and his hand shook slightly, and he heard the humanity on the other end:

"It's good, the color and artistic conception are very coordinated, but the skills in the details are a little clumsy, give it up, I have a picture to applaud, you see."

Fang Qiao didn't hand the painting to the sacrificial wine and painted it in red, and said: "Painting, artistic conception is the first, skill is secondary, this one should be kept, if there is no one left that has both, wouldn't it be a pity." ”

After listening to his words, everyone pondered. Dongfang You, the sacrificial wine, took the painting from his hand again, looked at it carefully, and nodded, "Then keep it for now." ”

After finishing speaking, he pressed the painting of the left jade on the case, turned his head to look at the one recommended by Dr. Yan Heng of the Four Sects Academy just now, and after a look, he didn't feel how, but at the second glance, he tasted some taste, and at a second glance, he was suddenly amazed!

The painting is like the previous many discarded ones, snow, mountains, and the moon, at first glance it is not a picture, but you can see it carefully, there is a shadow on the moon, there is a temple in the mountains, and what is more intriguing is that there are pedestrians in clothes at the foot of the mountain, under the moonlight, it seems to be slowly walking towards the temple in the mountain, which is not simply a scene, but a masterpiece of scenes!

Dongfang You did not directly recommend this painting, but put it down for the time being. Left and right asked others if there was anything else to recommend, and after reading the remaining few pictures, he patted the desk twice to attract everyone's attention.

"The old man thinks that this is the best, and this painting is the best."

***

"Bell, bell" A crisp bell rang, knowing that it was the result of a comparison of painting art, and everyone in the Junzi Building was attracted by the judgment seat of the Mei Lou.

Dongfang You got up and walked around the case, stood at the railing on the side of the building, first saluted the King of Wei and King Wu on the opposite side of the building, and then looked at the group of students looking up at him below.

Beside him stood a scholar holding a tray on a tray lined with red silk. There is a piece of woodcut with a strange shape, the size of a palm, from the appearance, it looks like an unfolded picture scroll, and the "painting" word of the book friend is a dragon flying and the phoenix dances, although it is a woodcut, the outside is wrapped in a layer of gold paint, the head of the roll has holes, and a red rope hangs jade beads through.

Dongfang You picked up the woodcut with one hand and raised it to everyone downstairs, and saw that the students' spirits were all lifted, and the gentleman's building instantly quieted down.

Yi Yu looked at the old scholar, looking at his solemn face, his originally calm mood actually jumped a little, a few thoughts flashed in his mind, and his eyes were fixed.

Dongfang You's slow but powerful voice sounded in everyone's ears:

"Painting art competition, the best - Tai Academy, Lu Zhi."

At the same time as his words fell, the quiet Junzilou suddenly became lively, and many of the students who watched the competition jumped up happily, and the people from the other four courtyards were also talking to each other.

The gentlemen on the judgment table did not stop their actions at this moment, and after Zha Jiwen laughed, he said with Yan Heng, who looked unhappy:

"Lao Yan, this is only two comparisons, and I have two woodcuts in Tai Academy! You don't have to look forward to the four doors this year, it's still the old 2! ”

Then he turned to the side again, and said to Dr. Jin of the Academy of Studies, who was also frowning: "How to raise, Lao Jin, I told me before, your Academy of Scholars can turn over this year, I think, you are still honestly ranking behind Lao Yan as the third, right?" Ha ha! ”

The doctors of the two academies were blackened by what he said, and after snorting coldly, they were speechless to refute, Yan Heng secretly hated him for always robbing his students, and Jin Qide hated him even more. He originally thought that there were a few more good seedlings in the academy this year, how could he fight back, he didn't want to be pressed by the new little girl from the Tai Academy yesterday, and the painting art just now fell short, and the two paintings left behind in the end turned out to be the Lu family brothers and sisters! The two woodcuts in his hand were all drawn by Tai Academy, how could he be happy!

The student seat and the judging seat are lively, and the competition venue is not quiet. A few students who were still proud to get the woodcut before, who were a little more forbearing, all went to clean up the table with a black face, and those who were impulsive directly punched the case.

Cheng Xiaofeng clenched his fists and smashed it on the shoulder of Lu Zhi beside him, "You still lied to me that it was unsatisfactory!" ”

Yi Yu tugged at Lu Zhi's sleeve and shook it lightly, and said, "Congratulations, big brother, you are the east at noon!" ”

The students of Tai Academy all came over to congratulate Lu Zhi, and the students of the outer courtyard standing nearby also congratulated him, and even Changsun Xian said two words with him politely.

Lu Zhi couldn't get rid of those people, trotted all the way to the Mei Building, Yi Yu stood downstairs, watching him appear on the judgment table without much effort, in the eyes of everyone, he took the painting woodcut handed by Dongfang You with both hands, walked to the side of the building, first bowed to the seat of the Lan Building opposite, and then nodded to the people downstairs, and finally bowed to the bamboo building.

Sitting in the bamboo building were the female dependents of the reference students' families, and when they saw the young man who had been carved in the woodcut saluting this side, they all turned their heads to look at the south end of the incense corridor, looking for who was the young man's family.

The smile on Lu Zhi's face did not break after he pronounced Lu Zhi's name at the sacrificial wine, and when he saluted to the seat he was sitting on, his eyes turned red.

Mrs. Cheng, who had been laughing beside her, looked at the tall young man upstairs with satisfaction, and took Lu's hand and patted it gently.

"How did you say you raised a son like this?"

When the ladies on the side heard this, they knew that this was the young man's mother, and they all turned sideways to talk to the Lu family, if it weren't for Mrs. Cheng to help deal with it, these women would have to ask her to be dizzy.

"Knock-knock-knock"

There was another bell ringing, and the gentleman's building gradually quieted down, and Dongfang You's eyes fell on the competition venue downstairs again, and he raised his voice:

"There is the best, there is the worst, among the forty-five people in this painting, nine of us think that the worst is——"

This set of rhetoric is fixed, Yi Yu didn't come yesterday, so he didn't hear it, but the students next to him are clear, Dongfang You's words are all together, and the students who watch the comparison all look at the venue, and the students in the field are almost all looking at the body of Yu Yu.

(The second watch is coming, and the big push on Saturday will start to add more, dear friends~) (!) )
