Chapter 634: The Cripple Picks the General

At this time, Su Wenxuan, Bai Youcheng and others had already arrived at the main building of Qionglin Yuan and went up to the second floor.

Under the guidance of the attendants, everyone sat down separately.

Everyone sat on a seat with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and various colors of paint.

Just as everyone was wondering what this was going to do, someone walked in and put down a large scroll.

There is a very large word for "heart" written on the scroll, and nothing else.

Obviously, this is the topic of this competition.

As for whether you want to write poems and songs or paint, there are no requirements, and you can play as you like.

After thinking for a moment, everyone smoothed out the paper on the eucalyptus, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and put it down.

Su Wenxuan wanted to make a painting.

A landscape painting.

Naknam Province is famous for its scenery of Mount Seungwol and the Nak River, the mountains stretch majestically, and the water is a natural turquoise color, which is like an emerald ribbon when calm.

Su Wenxuan painted such a beautiful scenery of the mountains at this time, coupled with the morning light at sunrise, the fog, a small boat floating on the water, the fisherman standing on the bow, and the fisherwoman making tea in the stern, a group of people are comfortable and comfortable, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

It took Su Wenxuan two and a half hours to hand over this painting.

Many others have already handed in their poems and songs, and continue to wait for the results of the competition.

The attendants came up one after another and served food to everyone.

At this time, it is sunset in the West City, since the morning to Qionglin Garden, everyone is not in the water, this time the stomach is empty, now can eat food, many people are very happy in their hearts.

Because they are a little hungry and don't know when they will be able to use their next meal, many people eat much faster than usual.

There is no shortage of people who gobble it up.

But after padding their stomachs a little and feeling a little better in their abdomen, everyone resumed their chewing and slow swallowing movements.

And just when everyone was enjoying the food, someone hid in the shadows, poking their heads out from time to time to observe what everyone looked like when they were eating.

After observing it with great certainty, he wrote down what he saw.

Lord Zhang, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, sighed when he was eating.

Lord Guo, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, eats like planting rice, and it falls everywhere.

Master Tongzheng Siluo secretly picked his teeth......

Before the meal was finished, a few people who didn't pay much attention to table etiquette during the meal were immediately invited out.

At this time, only eleven people remained in the same place.

Seeing this, Su Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but he became more and more worried.

Since leaving the house today, Su Wenxuan felt that the so-called exam had begun, so he was cautious everywhere, for fear of being eliminated because of a slight omission.

At the moment, I have gone through three games in fear, just to see what will happen next.

And the poems, songs, and paintings they have just given free play to are obviously to assess their talents.

Su Wenxuan boasted that he had studied since he was a child, and he could also be called a sweaty cow.

But Su Wenxuan is very self-aware, and he thinks that he is not a talented person, and he is not outstanding in terms of poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

And now there are only so many people left, all of whom are excellent in character and learning, if they want to win......

Su Wenxuan's heart was so nervous that in the big winter, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Here, the emperor is personally selecting the poems, songs, paintings and other things that everyone has submitted.

When he saw the picture drawn by Su Wenxuan, he nodded slightly, "The layout of this painting is exquisite, and the blank space is also good, abandoning the rich and brilliant colors that are used in painting at the moment, and using splashed ink as the base, striving to be realistic and realistic, but there is no lack of artistic conception, which is really good."

"Not bad, indeed." The queen also agreed, "It can be seen that this person is not only superb in painting, but also has a lot of hills and valleys in his heart, but he doesn't know what this painting is

Who did that?"

"Back to the emperor and the queen, this painting was made by Master Su Wenxuansu." Ming Hai answered truthfully.

"It turned out to be a painting made by Master Su." When the queen mother heard this, her eyebrows couldn't help but rise, and her eyes were full of irrepressible joy, "No wonder it's so good."

"Is the drawing good?" After hearing that this painting was painted by Su Wenxuan, the emperor's face became visibly gloomy, and he put the painting on the eucalyptus platform casually, "I look at it, it is average, but the poetry and paintings made by others are really not outstanding, and it seems that this painting is a little outstanding."

"If you use the folk saying, then you are a cripple who picks a general, as long as it is a whole person, it is good!"

The words were full of anger.

It was as if someone else owed him five thousand taels of silver.

The queen didn't refute or answer, just smiled deliciously, and then handed the painting to Ming Hai, "Put this painting away carefully for the time being."

When he returned to the palace, he took it back and handed it over to the fifth princess.

It's also very interesting to have such a unique experience in the course of life.

The queen pursed her lips and smiled, but the emperor picked and chose among the poems, songs and paintings presented by the remaining people, trying to find something that could be seen.

It's just picking and choosing, and there is nothing that can surprise him like the painting made by Su Wenxuan just now, so he can only reluctantly pick a few more and hand them over to Ming Hai and let him do the next thing.

Ming Hai gave the order and sent people to inform those who had not been selected by the emperor to leave.

At this point, there are only five left.

Su Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief again, but the sweat on his forehead never fell.

Previously, the emperor said that the last step in choosing a husband for the five princesses was to leave the five, and then the emperor and the queen mother would personally select one.

And the emperor obviously doesn't like him now, will he deliberately choose someone else......

Just as Su Wenxuan was thinking wildly, Ming Hai walked in and cleared his throat, "Ladies and gentlemen, today's competition has ended here, and I ask the five adults to go back first and wait for the summons."

It's time to get them home and wait for news.

Su Wenxuan's five of them all gave their hands, "Yes, thank you father-in-law."

"Your welcome, adults." Ming Hai raised his hand and ordered someone to send Su Wenxuan and the others out of Qionglin Garden.

Su Wenxuan and the five of them walked out together.

It was evening, and the sun was setting little by little, only to dye the entire western sky red.

Su Wenxuan pursed his lips, and after leaving the gate of Qionglin Garden, he said goodbye to the others and walked towards his own courtyard.

This so-called news took several days to wait.

Su Wenxuan has been busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites every day in the past few days, as if everything has never happened, but if you are a careful person, it is not difficult to find that Su Wenxuan's eye sockets are gradually sinking day by day, and now it is becoming more and more dark.
