Chapter 68: No Surprises

"Hey, old man, you can't see it."

"You female doll, you have to show the old man left and right, why can't the old man take a look now?"

"There's no surprise when I see it now!"

"Hahaha, it's good, the old man doesn't look at it. The old man looks at other people's go! ”

Seeing him turn around, he really went to see someone else's, so Gu Xinian continued to paint.

Lin Zhou turned around, and when he came to Ye Chenghuan's side, he nodded.

When returning to his position, the chief judge beside him asked:

"How? Bachelor Lin, but Ye Chenghuan's danqing is good? ”

Lin Zhou nodded and touched his mustache.

"It's good, but there's someone better than her!"

It's not that he hasn't seen Gu Xinian's painting, although he hasn't finished painting yet, it's just a rough outline, but he inexplicably thinks that Gu Xinian's finished product will amaze the Quartet.

"Who? Except for Ye Chenghuan, most of the people here were included in the last art competition, but they didn't seem to have heard of anyone who could far surpass Ye Chenghuan? ”

"That's not necessarily, and it doesn't rule out the possibility that others are hiding it and not saying it. I see, maybe it's Shangshu's daughter, after all, last time, if it wasn't for her Danqing, I'm afraid she would be tied for first place with Ye Chenghuan. ”

The arena is built outside, but also to prevent someone from doing tricks, after all, so many pairs of eyes are staring, I am afraid that the courage of the sky will have to be thought over.

Ye Chenghuan was confident that Gu Xinian's selection in the first round was just a coincidence, so he didn't have the heart to do anything to her, and when he heard what the chief judges said, he didn't take it to heart.

After all, the foundation of the contestants, she knows it all clearly, and the Shangshu daughter Danqing has indeed grown, but compared to her, it is still worse.

Time flies in a blink of an eye, and Gu Xinian pressed the last moment to complete the painting.

With the sound of gongs and drums, she sighed and looked at the painting in front of her, a faint smile appeared in her eyes.

"The time has come, and today's two major events are over, and you ladies have worked hard. The results of the selection will be announced to you within today, please wait patiently when you return home. ”

After the people left, the maids stepped forward in an orderly manner to put away the pictures and materials.

Gu Xinian came out, and Su Chen and Rong Ziyan greeted him.

"How's it going? Are you sure? ”

Gu Xinian glanced at him, then smiled at Rong Ziyan and said:

"No more, no less, let's be stable."

I think that at the beginning, because of his talent in painting, he was also selected by the teacher to compete in the province.

At that time, the theme of the competition was to reproduce famous paintings, and it was this one that she copied repeatedly, and won a prize in the competition.

If this is not enough, it will be intolerable.

Thinking that there was nothing to do when he went back anyway, he chatted with Su Chen and Rong Ziyan for a while.

So much so that when Gu Xinian returned to Yefu, it was already unitary time.

"Miss, you're back! Don't be discouraged, miss, we will definitely be selected next time. ”

Ling'er saw Gu Xinian, so she ran up.

Thinking that she came back so late, Xu was not selected, and she was in a bad mood, for fear that she would not be able to think about it, so she hurriedly chattered.

Juan'er was the complete opposite, she only glanced at the person who entered the door, then withdrew her gaze and continued to do what she was doing.

But unconsciously, I listened to the conversation between the two.

"What? Listening to you, you can't trust your young lady so much? ”

Ling'er lowered her head when she heard this, her face a little tangled.

"It's not, it's just ......"

Gu Xinian knew what she was thinking, it was just because of rumors.

"The results should be out soon, you help me wait for the news, I'll go back and rest for a while."

"Miss, don't you need to eat?"

"No need, it's been used outside, you and Juan'er can use it."

Looking at the closed door of the lamp house, Ling'er sighed.

The young lady must be pretending to be strong, but she just doesn't want them to worry.

Now when I go back to the house, I'm afraid I'm secretly wiping away my tears.

Gu Xinian didn't know what Ling'er was thinking at this time, so he just went back to the room and lay down.

On the other side, Ye Chenghuan listened to the news from the porter, and there was a dead silence in the room.

"You said that Gu Xinian was also selected?"

The porter nodded, extremely sure.

"The minions can't get me wrong. And the slave also deliberately asked again, it was undoubtedly Gu Xinian. ”

The cup in Ye Chenghuan's hand was clenched, and Forsythia glanced at the porter, "Okay, let's go down if there's nothing to do." ”

When the house was closed, only Ye Chenghuan and Forsythia were left in the house.

Forsythia looked at the angry Ye Chenghuan and shouted tentatively:

"Miss?"

"What kind of thing is she caring for the New Year? It's just a straw bag that doesn't know anything, but it can actually be selected? Aren't the judges blind? ”

Ye Chenghuan was unwilling, so his voice unconsciously became louder, and Forsythia first panicked for her when he heard it, and hurriedly said:

"Oh, my young lady, you can't talk nonsense. These chief judges were all personally selected by the emperor, but the young lady said that the emperor was not. You have to be careful that the wall has ears and invites trouble. ”

Ye Chenghuan frowned, he wanted to refute it, but after thinking about it, he could only endure it first.

"Otherwise, how can she be elected for the New Year? What can she draw, you say? ”

"This ...... The slave and the maid did not know. It's just that Xu Gu Xinian bought out whom? ”

Ye Chenghuan was silent for a moment and looked at Forsythia.

"What's the explanation?"

"Miss, you see, this scroll was collected by the palace maids, taken back and hung up, and then evaluated. Except for them, no one knows what each girl has drawn. If this is done on the road, I am afraid that God will not know it? ”

Ye Chenghuan lowered his eyes, looked at the flickering candle flame, and squinted his eyes.

"You mean, she asked someone to prepare a painting for her in advance, and then bought off the palace maid who received the scroll, and asked her to collect her own scroll, and replace her own on the way, so that she was selected?"

"Not impossible."
