Chapter Forty-Eight: The Thatched House Gambling!

The sound of the gong hitting came to his ears, Xiao Yueming lowered his arms around him, took down the paintings on the wooden drawing board in front of him, and slowly walked to the front of the stage.

Standing on the stage, looking around, I found that there were only a small number of people in the examination room who had not yet passed the test, looking at themselves nervously, with a look of gain and loss, and the rest of the people were watching around the examination room, all of whom were some of the losers who failed to pass the test, and they did not leave directly, after all, this white moon meeting is only held once a year, and there can be some talented people every time.

Seeing Xiao Yueming carrying a long sword, dressed as a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, but this temperament and dress are really extraordinary, Examiner Lin was quick-witted, his eyes rolled, and after thinking a little, he concluded that the handsome man in front of him might be a disciple of a great martial arts faction.

Thinking around, the examiner got up and stepped forward, his original expressionless expression suddenly changed, and his indifferent tone disappeared:

"This son, can you show the painting to the official for appreciation?"

Examiner Lin had a kind attitude and a little smile.

Everyone sighed when they saw this, and they were all thinking about which big man the man on the stage was.

This examiner Lin was originally just a miscellaneous worker in charge of sorting out calligraphy and painting in the painting pavilion, but with his ability to observe words and looks, and to be able to speak well, he was favored by the third prince, and he changed from a hard worker to a supervisor of the five grades of the official residence.

Xiao Yueming was a little surprised, and naturally didn't know what the other party was thinking, "This Lin examiner is not good to anyone except for the third prince and the old man who has entered the painting pavilion, why is he so enthusiastic when he arrives?"

Searching for his memory, Xiao Yueming was sure that he had never met this Examiner Lin, slowly unfolded the rolled up rice paper in his hand, handed it to the other party, and saluted: "Then trouble Examiner Lin." "

Taking the painting with both hands, Examiner Lin looked at the rice paper in his hand with a smile, but just at this glance, the original smile froze in an instant, and slowly turned into a shocked color, Examiner Lin's eyes protruded, and almost his entire head was attached to the painting, and after a full cup of tea, he raised his head stiffly, and his hands trembled a little while holding Xiao Yueming's painting, unable to speak for a long time.

Xiao Yueming frowned slightly, a little for some reason, he hadn't used the essence of the painting yet, how could this person have such an expression.

"Examiner Lin, what's wrong with this painting below?"

When Examiner Lin heard this, his expression, which was originally in a daze, suddenly startled, relieved himself, looked at Xiao Yueming, who was saluting him, and muttered to himself: "Yes, yes, Pavilion Master, go find the Pavilion Master first!"

Examiner Lin muttered some nonsense that didn't match the preface, and then ran down the wooden platform anxiously and ran wildly in the direction of Baiyue Tower.

Seeing this, it can be said that the water droplets fell into the hot oil, completely exploded the pot, and communicated in twos and threes, knowing that an extremely important event had happened, and they left the scene to call their companions to come.

"Alas, how is this good, the artistic conception of martial arts can not be tested, if the foundation of the demon path is discovered, it will be troublesome, I am only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I am only proficient in fur, I have already known to listen to my aunt's words, I will practice the piano well, and I will not come all the way to come here, but I am not even qualified to enter the door, and when I go back, I will be mercilessly ridiculed by my senior sister." "

Su Lan tugged at the fake beard on the side of her mouth, and wandered in front of the examination room in charge of the guqin, extremely depressed in her heart.

"Let's go, it is said that there are peerless paintings in the examination room in charge of testing paintings!"

"What? a peerless painting?" said a shabby-clad showman with a smile on his face

Walking out of the examination room for testing the guzheng, looking at its appearance, it must have passed the exam, and suddenly heard someone shouting that there was a peerless famous painting, and immediately spread out and ran to the painting examination room.

"Let's go and see, this is the only time to see a famous painting."

Suddenly, I don't know who shouted, and the crowd around them ran in the same direction, not only those literati and artists, but even some Jianghu warriors rushed to hear the sound.

Looking at the hurried crowd in front of him, Su Lan's curiosity was about to be seduced, and just wanted to follow everyone to see the excitement, the things downstairs in Wutong came to mind, shook his head, Su Lan said secretly:

"No matter how bad this girl is, she can be regarded as the proud daughter of Huaqingchi, how can she be so unlucky, the last time it was just an accident, yes, it was an accident, besides, I can't enter the Baiyue Tower, if I can see some sensational events, I can also block the broken mouth of the senior sister after I go back." "

After convincing himself in his heart, Su Lan did not hesitate at the moment and followed the crowd together.

The painting examination room was already crowded at this time, and the soldiers in charge of defense had already been dispatched to maintain order, Su Lan squeezed through the crowd, most of them were just some weak scholars, so naturally they couldn't stop Su Lan, who was a martial artist.

reluctantly came to the front, only to see a group of literati curiously surrounding a man with a pockmarked face.

"Hmph, I have been following my son since I was a child, and when I was two years old, my son showed an extraordinary talent for painting, which has surpassed the level of local painters, and is a once-in-a-millennium genius. "

Er Mazi looked proud, surrounded by everyone in the middle, his vanity was greatly satisfied, and he began to brag at will.

When the onlookers heard this, some people said in disbelief: "It's impossible, I'm afraid I can't even hold a pen at the age of two." "

When the others heard this, they also echoed it, suspecting that Er Mazi was bragging.

As soon as he heard that someone was questioning himself, although it was true, Er Mazi's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he said indifferently: "A group of frogs at the bottom of the well who have never seen the world." "

When a prince of a family dressed in a gorgeous robe and with a good temperament heard this, he sneered with some disdain: "A peerless famous painting? That is to be rated as a first-class painting, and it is included in the highest level of the painting pavilion. "

"Now that Examiner Lin hasn't returned, he hasn't been graded at all, you guys are talking like this, it's really a bunch of frogs at the bottom of the well. "

The sarcastic words were replied to, and Er Mazi's face turned red with anger, but this person looked like a person with an identity, and Er Mazi didn't dare to refute it directly, so he could only swallow his anger into his stomach.

Although the words of the boy in brocade are a little difficult to hear, but there is some truth in thinking about it, now the painting has not been rated, and I don't know who said that the peerless painting was born, and everyone who was surprised came to watch.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the man in brocade was even more arrogant, flicked the folding fan in his hand, and looked quite chic, looking at Xiao Yueming on the stage and said: "If this person's painting can be rated as first-class, my son will enter the filthy place of the thatched house and drink dung on the spot." "

released a bold statement, the boy in brocade looked at the people around him and smiled confidently, and secretly distorted his stomach, "I really haven't seen the world, there are only three peerless paintings of Liao Liao in the past hundred years, if you want to paint peerless paintings, the right time, place and people are indispensable, and they should really be seen everywhere like cabbage?"

Su Lan looked at the stage with the gaze of the man in brocade, and suddenly remembered who this was: "I said that the pockmarked face is a little familiar, the man in black standing on the stage, didn't he meet that person at the Hongjiao Restaurant at noon." "
