Chapter Sixty-Six: The Phantom Pen Comes Out, and the Mountains and Rivers Move!
If Bai Fei'er's luck is extremely good, then now Autumn Ye's luck is terrible.
But anyone who is familiar with autumn leaves knows that among the four ways of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, the rest of autumn leaves are all connected, only one of the paintings is slightly inferior, and when Lin Hua was in the center, she admitted to Su Wen that her painting was not as good as Bai Fei'er.
But on the contrary, Akiba won the drawing card that he was not good at.
If it is said that one draw can still be blamed on luck, then the two draws are not due to luck, but artificial.
Those who understand this truth have already guessed that this is the means of Jinfenglou.
At this time, Qiu Ye also understood, it turned out that he had drawn the No. 4 card before, and it was also controlled by Jinfenglou, so it was no wonder that Liu Changyuan and Xia Hao wanted to support Bai Fei'er of Jinfenglou.
Under normal circumstances, Akiba would have panicked a long time ago, or was willing to admit that she was at the end of the list, but now it is different.
Because Su Wen sat below.
Even more because Su Wen handed over an ink pen to Autumn Leaves.
Su Wenan sat on the bamboo bench, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he had already expected such a situation long before reciting "Huanxi Sha", and it was thanks to Qiuye that he said so much in Linhuaju, so that he could know what Qiuye's shortcomings were in the second round, so he laid out his backhand in advance!
The ink pen he handed over to Qiu Ye was naturally the nine-grade literary treasure he obtained at Guiwangpo that day, the Phantom Pen of the Phantom Spirit!
This name was chosen by Su Wen himself, after all, there is a phantom character engraved on it, and Wenbao is spiritual, so it is appropriate to take such a name.
After Su Wen came to Huizhou Mansion, he also had a lot of research on the phantom pen, and finally found that this Wenbao was most suitable for painting. It's just that Su Wen is still focusing on the research and development of rouge into ink for the time being, and there are very few opportunities to really splash ink.
So to this day, Su Wen has not played the real role of the Phantom Pen, but even so, it is more than enough to use it for a small occasion like the Oiran Contest.
Qiu Ye didn't know that what Su Wen handed over to him was a real treasure, otherwise he would definitely not be so calm.
Literary positions are easy to obtain, but literary treasures are hard to come by, which literati does not regard their literary treasures as their lives? If he gives his literary treasures to others so easily, I am afraid that only Su Wen has such courage.
The boos outside the stadium started again, but no one dared to question the shady scene of the competition like Su Wen anymore, so the draw continued.
Next, Narcissus may have finally ushered in a hint of good luck, and she was drawn to the most effortless chess way, and as for Ni Shang, she was very helpless to get the book card.
If you really want to talk about it, Ni Shang is really suffering.
Originally, in the first round, with her extraordinary performance, Ni Sheng almost counterattacked Bai Fei'er and won the first place in the first round. This is not the end, Autumn Leaves, who were not favored by Ni Shang, also took advantage of the situation, and after a period of turmoil, he directly made a transcendent song, and I don't know how many people's jaws were shocked.
As a result, Ni Shang instantly plummeted from the original first place to the third place, which may be difficult for anyone to accept.
Disappointment is not terrible, it is terrible to change from hope to disappointment.
Now that he has drawn calligraphy that he is not good at again, Nishang suddenly knows that he is afraid that his results will be at the bottom in this round.
Thinking about it, as a Qinglou woman, the four major Oiran in the field must be the piano the best, followed by painting, as for chess, books and books, they are not popular for pleasing guests, and naturally no one has studied them.
The only lucky girl who ranked second in chess was also because the person who won the draw that day played abnormally.
Of course, it was possible to give birth to a second exception today, because Autumn Leaves is one of the few Qinglou girls who are proficient in calligraphy, but unfortunately, under the deliberate control of Jin Fenglou, Autumn Leaves can't even be drawn in calligraphy, not even chess!
Ni Shang's face was full of bitterness, but Narcissus's eyes seemed to regain some light, recovering from the first blow.
At this time, Autumn Leaves is holding a drawing card, isn't it just like the scene of the year?
Perhaps, he can get the second place in this round with the simplest painting path?
Thinking like this, the brilliance in Narcissus's eyes is getting brighter and brighter, even if Bai Fei'er wins the top spot with her piano music, she has not lost the possibility of competing for the championship!
Just when the four Oirans on the stage were thinking about each other, the second round of the competition officially began.
According to the order, the first to appear is still Bai Fei'er, someone has already moved her usual piano from Jinfeng Building to the stage, Bai Fei'er walked to the piano table, saluted everyone, and then sat down, and gently pressed her hands on the strings.
Everyone calmly held their breath and quietly stared at Bai Fei'er's delicate face, and after a while, the first piano sound slowly sounded.
"Zheng ......"
Bai Fei'er played a song "Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon" that she was most comfortable with, between the hands of the piano, there seemed to be a spring breeze, so that after hearing it, it was like soaking in the hot springs, indescribably comfortable and comfortable.
At the end of a song, it is unfinished and lost.
Su Wen couldn't help nodding secretly, I have to say that this Bai Fei'er is indeed a bit of a real talent, although it is not as good as the song played by the boss he heard in Ming Sexuan that day, but it is already really rare.
From this point of view, in fact, even if there is no such blatant partiality as Liu Changyuan and Xia Hao, Bai Fei'er really deserves to be the top spot in this Oiran competition!
It's just a pity that she met Akiba with Su Wen's help.
In this regard, Su Wen has no sense of guilt, after all, today's black-box operation of Jinfenglou, as well as the help of Liu Changyuan and Xia Hao, are obvious to all. Let's not talk about whether the first round of poetry exam questions have been leaked to Bai Fei'er in advance, just Jin Fenglou's participation in the suppression of Liu Yange made Su Wen unforgivable!
"Luckily, Akiba girl came to me early and asked for help. Su Wen said secretly, feeling happy.
Bai Fei'er's song "Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon" was finally greatly appreciated by the three examiners, but after the previous accident, Liu Changyuan and Xia Hao both restrained themselves and did not dare to exaggerate anymore, and what they said was quite pertinent.
Bai Fei'er thanked her and returned to her original position, and the second one to play was Narcissus.
Sure enough, what Narcissus recited was still the most common "Watching Chess", after all, he was fully prepared, so he finally passed the test without omission halfway.
There is nothing to say about this "Watching Chess", anyway, it will be judged second or third depending on the situation.
Originally, according to the previous arrangement, Liu Changyuan and Xia Hao of course wanted to join forces to suppress Autumn Leaves' paintings, plus Nishang was not good at calligraphy, so in this way, Narcissus was really likely to be in second place with this song "Watching Chess", but because of the killing of a Su Wen halfway, Liu Changyuan and Xia Hao did not dare to deliberately smear Autumn Leaves, so they could only wait and see what happened.
I only hope that Akiba is really as the news says, and he is not good at painting.
But I think that Akiba, who is not good at poetry, can make an extraordinary poem today, who knows how good her painting skills are?
Thinking of this, Liu Changyuan and Xia Hao looked at each other, and they both saw the vigilance and helplessness in each other's eyes.
After Narcissus retreated, Ni Shang, who came on the stage, faced the four treasures of the study in front of him, but smiled apologetically at everyone very simply: "Ni Shang knows that his calligraphy is not as good as his sisters, so he will no longer be ugly in public. ”
Ni Shang's helpless look, in the eyes of everyone, was simply pitiful, and immediately aroused bursts of sympathy, and many people immediately opened their mouths to support.
"Don't be discouraged, girl, we will always support you!"
"Yes, yes, we're always with you!"
Hearing this, Nishang gratefully blessed the onlookers, and then walked back to its original position.
"This Ni Shang is not a simple character. Su Wen raised his eyebrows lightly, obviously not thinking that Ni Shang was just a vase character who relied on his appearance, this person was able to hide his shortcomings, not only did not provoke ridicule, but instead of arousing everyone's sympathy, it was also a good scheming.
If she really writes with a pen, and in the end, the handwriting is difficult to get into the elegant hall, then she is really self-worthy.
"It's kind of interesting. Su Wen smiled and shook his head.
Compared to the first round, the second round of the competition went much smoother, and in such a short period of time, the three of them had already appeared on the stage to sing, and only Akiba was left to show it.
Akiba took a deep breath, looked at the white canvas that had been laid out in the center of the stage, stepped forward, and slowly pulled out the ghost pen from his sleeve.
"For today's competition, Akiba specially prepared a good ink pen, I think it should be in line with the rules, right?"
When Kant heard this, he nodded first, and replied, "That's nature." ”
Qiu Ye bowed her head slightly, although she didn't know what was so extraordinary about the pen that Su Wen handed over to her, but she thought that since Su Wen had already anticipated the situation at this moment, there must be a solution!
Thinking of this, Akiba carefully filled the tip of the pen with ink, and then with a flick of his wrist, the ink color fell onto the canvas.
Akiba is not good at drawing, but that doesn't mean she can't draw, it's just that she will look a little ordinary when she paints.
In order to prepare for the Oiran competition, Narcissus memorized "Watching Chess" early, and Akiba naturally made full preparations for the second round of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and at this time, she made a landscape painting that she had practiced countless times in advance.
When the pen falls, the ink marks move with it.
In a few strokes, the autumn leaves have already outlined a magnificent group of mountains, and then the brushstrokes are pressed down, and a wide river falls on the rocky side of the mountain.
There are mountains and rivers in the painting, so Autumn Leaves also named this picture "Mountains and Rivers".
As usual, although the autumn leaves did not miss, they also failed to play extraordinarily, the picture scroll is simple and ordinary, at first glance there is nothing extraordinary, and the mountains and rivers also lack the aura and artistic conception that they should have.
Seeing this, Liu Changyuan and Xia Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, thinking that even if this picture was judged to be third, no one would dare to object.
But I didn't want to, at this time, a sudden change occurred!
I saw that at the moment when the autumn leaves turned around and filled in the ink, the mountains and rivers on the canvas seemed to come to life, the majestic meaning of the mountains, the turbulent momentum of the river, rushing to the face, making people breathtaking!
It even makes people hallucinate, and they think that they have left the Huizhou Mansion and are walking among the mountains, watching the flowing water under their feet! Close their eyes, it seems that they can still hear the sound of the flowing water of the big river and smell the green color of the mountains and forests.
It is unbelievable that such a spiritual painting should appear so sparsely and so ordinarily in front of everyone's eyes!
"This can't be!" Liu Changyuan exclaimed, and the whole person jumped up from the back of the chair.
