Liaozhai Great Sage

"Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for your comments. There are still many shortcomings in calligraphy and painting of late students. You still need to practice hard. Today is a shame." The scholar smiled modestly.

Zhu Qian nodded and said: "It's very rare for you to have such a humble heart. If you can persevere, your paintings will probably be famous in history."

The scholar was even happier when he heard this.

Seeing his paintings hung on the easel, scholars and scholars immediately commented on them.

"Hey, who painted this picture of birds singing in the empty mountain? The mountain peak is ethereal and vivid, it is a rare masterpiece, much better than the other paintings."

"This is Qin Yong, the painting of Qin Jinshi. I heard that he has been obsessed with calligraphy and painting recently, but now it seems that he has learned something. Once he shows his painting skills, he is better than other scholars. This is a talent."

"It turned out to be the painting of that great talent. No wonder it can be hung on the easel. I think this Qin Yong has a great chance of winning the championship this time."

All the scholars nodded their heads in admiration.

If there is a big difference between the quality of calligraphy and painting, it can be seen at a glance.

Obviously, Qin Yong's picture of birds singing in the empty mountain is better than other paintings, and it is overwhelming.

Qin Yong was very happy to hear that, and couldn't help feeling a little proud. He is young and talented, and now he is quite famous in the capital. If he can be asked to paint by the third prince's daughter this time, then he will definitely become famous in the capital on the day of the Shangyuan Festival. In the future, only the name of Qin Jinshi will be known among scholars, and others are not worth mentioning.

However, when he passed by Gao Fan, he smiled and said, "Brother Gao Xian, you and I are Jinshi in the same list. I know that your painting skills are not bad, but if you repaint a painting, will you have time? You will be there soon." It's getting dark, and the time for the Third Prince to collect the paintings is coming, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish this painting, but it's a pity."

Gao Fan immediately became a little ashamed and annoyed when he heard the words, he immediately understood, put down the ink pen in his hand and said, "Qin Yong, did you hit me on purpose just now?"

"Have I bumped into you, Brother Xian? It seems like not." Qin Yong said with a smile: "Now the time is not bad, you should hurry up and paint, maybe you can barely make a clumsy painting."

Gao Fan was trembling with anger, but his temper didn't show up, so he could only flick his sleeves heavily, ignored it, and continued to paint.

Qin Yong stood aside and said, "You are not doing the right thing, here you should use heavy ink, your strength is too light, and here..."

He commented a few words, looking like he was kindly teaching you.

Gao Fan usually doesn't care about it, but after knowing that his painting was destroyed by this person, when he heard him pointing at his ear, it felt like a choke in his throat, and he couldn't swallow it.

Gao Fan couldn't help saying loudly: "You go, you go, I'm ashamed to be with you."

"Ok?"

When everyone heard him yelling so loudly, they couldn't help but stop writing, and Qi Qi looked over.

Qin Yongdao: "Brother, I kindly point out your paintings, why do you scold me like this? Did I offend you in any way?"

Gao Fan was so angry that he couldn't even speak.

Qin Yong sighed; "I'm meddling in my own business, I'm really sorry, I'm leaving now."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands very thoughtfully, then turned and left.

"Is that last year's Jinshi Gao Fan? Isn't he and Qin Yong on the same list? How could he be so sympathetic?"

"I'm afraid I'm jealous. Before Gao Fan destroyed a painting, Qin Yong kindly pointed it out, but the others didn't appreciate it, so they cursed."

"Well, maybe it was due to impatience, so I lost my composure. It should be understandable, after all, the time set by the third prince is coming soon."

But when everyone was discussing, Zhang Bangchang on the side also asked curiously; "Brother Gao and that Qin Yong had any grievances before? Brother Gao is a very good-tempered person, and it is rare to see him lose his temper."

Li Xiuyuan said: "Didn't you see what happened just now?"

"Does it mean Brother Gao tore up his own painting?" Zhang Bangchang said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "No, but someone deliberately bumped into him, causing his paintings to be destroyed. It seems that you didn't pay attention, but I did."

"Is that so? No wonder brother Gao is angry." Zhang Bangchang said.

"It's just that it's fine, but Qin Yong is very utilitarian. He doesn't want Gao Fan to finish a painting, maybe he is worried that his paintings will surpass his own, so he deliberately took the opportunity to disturb Gao Fan's mind." Li Xiuyuan Said: "This is an act of a villain, not a gentleman. Gao Fan may not be able to finish his painting if he is disturbed by this."

"Gao Fan has a good personality, but it doesn't mean I have a good personality. I think this justice should be sought for Gao Fan."

Zhang Bangchang immediately said: "Brother Li, what are you going to do?"

"It's indecent to come and go, he is a villain, and we can't be gentlemen. Of course, he ruined his painting." Li Xiuyuan said.

At this moment, he saw Qin Yong stand aside with his head held high, watching his paintings being displayed, and the scholars commented and praised him, and he was very happy.

Qin Yong glanced at Gao Fan.Seeing that he was sweating profusely at this moment, and his brushwork was messed up, he knew that he would not be able to paint today.

Among the people here, Qin Yong is not worried about others, what he is worried about is this Gao Fan.

His painting skills are superb, but people don't know about them. If you let him complete the painting, you will definitely not be able to beat him.

However, at this moment, a person suddenly squeezed out from the nearby crowd and exclaimed: "Who, who pushed me."

"Not good, my painting." It was Qin Yong's turn to exclaim at this time.

But Zhang Bangchang staggered and bumped into the easel beside him, and the painting on it fell to the ground, and accidentally stepped on it.

Qin Yong hurriedly ran over nervously. He picked up his painting and looked at it, but saw that the ink was completely dry on it, and because the foot was covered with a piece of paste. No matter how good the painting is, it is ruined right now.

"Zhang Bangchang, why did you destroy my painting?"

He was so angry that he almost jumped up and pointed at Zhang Bangchang and cursed angrily.

Zhang Bangchang said with apologetic face, "Brother Qin, I'm really sorry. I accidentally bumped into it. I didn't intend to destroy your painting. Please forgive me. If Brother Qin has any losses, I'm willing to compensate you."

"Compensation? Can you afford it? My painting is going to be the top prize. It is worth thousands of gold. It was destroyed by you today. What kind of compensation do you want? If you really want compensation, can you get a thousand taels of gold?"

Qin Yong pointed at Zhang Bangchang angrily and cursed.

Li Xiuyuan came out at this moment and said: "This brother's words are wrong. Before you destroyed Gao Fan's painting, Gao Fan didn't ask you to pay for it. Now brother Zhang just accidentally knocked over your painting, but you want Brother Zhang compensates, and also compensates thousands of gold, what's the reason?"

"Who are you? You slandered me, how could I destroy other people's paintings, and my painting is the best in this series, isn't it worth a thousand gold?" Qin Yongdao.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Really, it's okay if you don't admit it. Since the third prince's thousand gold painting has not yet ended, how do you know that your painting is the best? And even if your painting is good, in my opinion, you won the first prize." But it's far from it."

"Nonsense, who do you think my painting is not as good as?" Qin Yong said.

Li Xiuyuan said, "Many people are inferior, such as Gao Fan over there, if you don't believe me, draw another one for comparison?"

"There is no time now, you two are so hateful, you deliberately destroyed my painting, so that I won't win the first prize." Qin Yong said angrily, and at the same time felt a little guilty.

In comparison, it is no better than Gao Fan.

"Why don't you have time? Isn't everyone still painting right now? Your painting skills are superb, and it shouldn't be a problem to paint more. If you are worried that the third prince will not ask for a thousand dollars, then I can guarantee it. Your words are better than others, better than Gao Fan, so it proves that your paintings are indeed extraordinary, I am willing to apologize and send you a thousand gold."

"If not, I can only compensate you ten taels of silver as the cost of finishing the pen." Li Xiuyuan said.

"How can your daughter compare to that of the third prince?" Qin Yongyi said angrily.
