(Pink ticket 471)

It doesn't take much effort. Not only the students who were comparing, but also the students who were watching the comparison around them also found that there were five tables missing from the venue, and some people who didn't know why were wondering what this meant, and some who had too many eyes and only sat firmly in their positions and refused to move for half a minute.

Cheng Xiaofeng said to Yi Yu: "Shouldn't there be five people who have abandoned the comparison?" It's impossible, no one has abandoned calligraphy so far, even if it is abandoned, it should be eliminated at this time, and the case will be removed. ”

"No one gives up." Lu Zhi walked over from under the chrysanthemum tower and sat down beside Yi Yu, "Xu is that this competition is a little special, don't worry, the master book will explain it clearly." ”

Soon the forty tables were full, and the late students went directly to the master book under the Mei Building, and were only told four words - don't be impatient.

Because of Lu Zhi's words, Yi Yu put his mind at ease, and looked sideways at the top of the Lan Tower, Wu King Li Ke arrived, but the position next to him was empty, if it wasn't for the morning, he would go out with Li Tai. She must have thought he wasn't coming.

As soon as she thought so, she saw a familiar figure walking out from the side of the incense gallery, just looking at the person behind him, the corners of her raised mouth pressed down again, it was Gao Yang! Didn't I hear that she wouldn't come to watch Yibi?

Yi Yu retracted her gaze, always felt that when she saw Gao Yang, something bad was going to happen, she swept sideways and glanced around the students present, the two sisters of the eldest grandson's family had seats, and the five students who were standing, only one was from the academy, and she didn't know the others.

Eldest Sun Xian noticed that Yi Yu was looking around, and looked sideways at the student who was standing not far away in the regular uniform of the academy, and after looking at each other, the student nodded to her without a trace before she withdrew her gaze.

"Knock-knock-knock"

Just as the students on the edge of the field were pacing uneasily, the second bell rang to announce that the art competition was about to begin.

The sacrificial wine struck the bell with a copper hammer, and the servant upstairs put down the topic of the competition.

As soon as Cheng Xiaofeng saw the words "one-page book" on a white background and black font, he suddenly let out a low howl.

Seeing that the title was put down, the main book walked to a loudspeaker position on the edge of the venue, and raised his voice:

"This calligraphy competition, 'One Page Book', is different from the past, and articles will not be distributed alone."

Saying this, he suddenly raised his left hand high, and Yi Yu looked at the high-altitude scroll that had puzzled her before, and listened to the four sounds of "pop, pop", and the four huge scrolls hung down, and the tail of the scroll hung in the center of the first floor and a half.

There was a sudden "buzz" in the building. The four huge scrolls are marked on the header of the first floor: "One, Two, Three, Four", and the lower layer is written with huge hair!

The main bookkeeper overwhelmed everyone and continued: "One page of the book - will be based on these four articles, within a stick of incense, regardless of the font, the one who copies the most articles on a single sheet of standard paper, after judgment and evaluation, the best one will be selected to win by the quality of calligraphy!" ”

Yi Yu frowned, like others, in the middle of the main book, he found that sitting in the position of the venue, the huge scrolls in the east, west, north and south corners were not clear at all!

The main book quickly answered everyone's questions, "Students—please leave the table and go to the huge canvas to read the article before copying—you must not move the table arbitrarily—do not leave the table to copy—do not plagiarize each other—do not occupy more seats—do not sit in front of the desk!" ”

Most of the forty-five students in the reference were the top smart people in the country, and as soon as the main book's voice fell, they understood the meaning after a little thought. The frowning frowning, the tense face, of course, there are many people who are calm and relaxed.

Sitting on these forty cases, I couldn't read the articles on the four scrolls clearly, and if I wanted to read them clearly, I had to leave the table to read them and then come back to write them silently, and as soon as I left the original seat, I couldn't keep it. You can't help others occupy a place, you can't share a place with others, you can't go to the bottom of the giant scroll to copy, you can only honestly return to the seat in the venue when you write, and you can't copy each other!

However, when you are not writing, you are not allowed to sit in front of the desk, which will make the students even more nervous because of the lack of five tables!

After Yi Yu understood, he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, this kind of trick, is it a calligraphy competition, how can it be like playing to grab a seat.

On one side of the arm-long case is a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and on the other side is a stack of marking paper, two feet long and one foot wide. After the main book was finished, a scholar took the incense burner for timing and placed it on a table under the plum building.

Before lighting the incense, the students were given half a cup of tea to prepare, and although the seats were messy when they waited, everyone consciously prepared in order not to run out of ink and paper when it was their turn to copy.

Lu Zhi lightly studied the ink that had been prepared by the scholar in advance. Turning his head, he whispered to Yi Yu and Cheng Xiaofeng: "Wait for the competition to start, at most half a cup of tea, these people will be messy, and nothing will work." Don't worry, Xiaofeng, don't look too much at once, lest you make a mistake after sitting down, don't worry, you won't be at the bottom. Xiaoyu, you can remember as much as you can at a time. ”

The last sentence was specially said by Lu Zhi to Yi Yu, and after a little contemplation, she nodded. Cheng Xiaofeng was flustered because the topic of the calligraphy competition was "a page of books", and after listening to Lu Zhi's calm words, his face was much less anxious, and he wrote down his words.

Yi Yu took out the brush from the book bag, selected a wolf haoxiaokai, slid it twice with his index finger, turned his head to look at the master book that was ready to light incense, and stood up.

"Calligraphy—the beginning!"

As soon as his words fell, the forty or so students in the field strode towards the bottom of the first huge scroll in the northeast corner almost at the same time, and their manners were more appropriate.

Ordinarily. Most people can memorize nearly 30 words at a time and then go back, but the special arrangement of this competition is destined to make the process not so simple!

The first few times were good, some people looked at it a few times and walked back, the people next to them were unmoved, and continued to memorize the article, but after half a cup of tea, the situation in the surrounding building changed greatly:

A group of people had just stood under the giant scroll, and in a moment, one person turned around and ran towards his seat with his own label paper, and led three or five people around him. These three or five people led others again, and they were in an uproar! Almost all the students, without a few glances, ran towards the seats, for fear that if others were half a step slower, there would be no seats, and time would be wasted while waiting.

In fact, it is clear that it is more time-saving and labor-saving to remember a few more words and then go back, but people's minds are so strange, just five less tables, it makes people dizzy, and they would rather run a few more times and remember a few fewer words, rather than wait for a position on the side, for fear of writing a few fewer words. When they weren't there, they couldn't feel this weird atmosphere at all, and even Yu Yu and Lu Zhi, when they stood under the giant scroll to remember, they would be affected by the people next to them.

Gao Yang sat on the Lan Tower, looked at the students running around downstairs, laughed happily, pointed at them, and said to Li Tai on the table next to him:

"Fourth brother, look how interesting they are!"

Li Tai didn't say anything, but Li Ke said: "Originally, I could remember a few more words and write a few more words, but they were like this, so they spent half of their time running back and forth, really-"

He didn't say the word "stupid", but Gao Yang didn't shy away from it, "It's really stupid!" ”

"Ahh Look at it! That guy almost fell, haha! ”

"Yikes. Is that person out of ink, still writing! ”

Gao Yang shouted loudly, attracting the dark eyes of others, Li Tai put the teacup on the table, and said coldly: "Noise! ”

Gao Yangjiao's smiling face froze, and Shengsheng put back the laughter, but his mouth didn't stop, "Where am I noisy, if you think I'm annoying, I'll sit over there, hum!" ”

Li Tai ignored her little provocation, and Gao Yang was very bored and lay on the railing again, looking at the bustle below.

When the incense burned to six minutes, seven people began to copy the third huge scroll, Lu Zhi, Changsun Xi and Gao Zijian from the Tai Academy, Yi Yu and Changsun Xian from the Calligraphy Academy, and Shen Gongzi, who was very good at calligraphy, and a young man surnamed Lou from the Four Sect Academy.

On the judgment seat, the smile on the face of Dr. Jin of the Academy of Books had already been put away, and he looked at the seven students who were walking back and forth under the third giant scroll, and Zha Jiwen saw that his face was not good, but he still made bold teases:

"Why, it's because the students in my academy are catching up, so I'm not happy and worried?"

Jin Qide was said to be thoughtful, but nodded honestly, and then said: "The questions of this competition are indeed ingenious, but they are also beyond our expectations, at first they just wanted to test their brains, but if you look at the following, there are a few people who are still sober in their minds at this time." ”

Zha Jiwen also put away his smile, and was about to reach out to serve tea, when he suddenly heard a loud shout downstairs, and Dr. Jin next to him slapped the case hard, and Junzilou "coaxed" into a mess.

***

Dropping the last word he had just remembered, Yi Yu carefully put away the still ink-soaked label paper on his chest, and strode towards the third giant scroll, only exchanging a look with Lu Zhi, who was running to the seat by mistake.

At this time, the people in the field were very chaotic, although Yi Yu knew that under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, some people's small movements could not be made, but she was still extremely careful to avoid those panicked figures.

When she started to copy the third giant scroll, only Shen Gongzi and Changsun Xian followed closely behind her, and the others followed later, so she was sure that she was definitely the one who had the most Mo at this time!

"Miss Lu!"

The relic jade, who was concentrating on remembering the article on the huge scroll, suddenly heard a cry from behind her, her eyelids jumped, and she didn't look back, but she didn't want a hand to slam on her shoulder, and then she saw a cloud of black exploding in her chest—

Wet ink spread along the placket of her clothes, and the main bookkeeper shouted loudly, accompanied by the uproar of half of the gentleman's building.

Yi Yu slowly lowered her head, looking at the paper that was protected by her chest, but at the moment it was soaked with ink.
