He is from the end of the world

It took another moment for the bell to signal the end to ring.

The leading boy stood on a high platform and said a few words, to the effect that his master would walk around the tables and choose the ones he liked the most.

This little boy looked clever, and he explained the matter almost in a few words.He got off the stage, and the old man behind him stood up, it was the one who was chatting with him just now.

Lin Chi looked at Lu Ciyu in disbelief.

Lu Ciyu had a vague guess in his heart when he came to talk to him before, but now that the guess has come true, he is not surprised at all.

The result is the old man's business, and he can't change it. Compared with other people's expressions of nervousness or expectation, his face is more curious.

Lu Ciyu's eyes followed the old man's footsteps and swept across the lanterns.

He had to marvel at a few words, people's creativity is really unlimited, and everyone draws things according to their heart and they are different.Those who will show themselves here have a few brushes, and it is a rare memory in a lifetime to be fortunate enough to be in it.

Many people on the field only enjoyed the process of painting lanterns by themselves. Seeing that the inspection and selection began, they voluntarily withdrew from the field. The rest, except for Lu Ciyu, who was determined to participate in the evaluation, all wanted to make a good name for themselves at the lantern festival. of.

The old man's lantern competition is too famous, and if you get a compliment, you can add a little bit to yourself if you say it in the future.

"Mr. Lu doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all." The old gentleman walked in front of him at some point.

"Boy, I'm satisfied today, it doesn't matter if I win the prize or not." Lu Ciyu returned his gaze from a distant lamp, and replied seriously.

The old man picked up the lamp on his desk, held it in front of his eyes, and spun it around to observe, while he kept talking, "Which one does Mr. Lu think will win the prize?"

Lu Ciyu thought about it for a moment: "The lantern on the left with the koi jumping over the dragon's gate is exquisitely painted and lifelike, while the one on the south with the peony picture is magnificent, rich, dignified and dignified. The workmanship and painting skills of the two lanterns are comparable, and they both have meanings. So good, it’s really hard to choose.”

"Really?" The old man finished looking at the lamp and put it on the table.

"The one on the left is the prime minister's grandson who retired during the late emperor's time. He is also the most famous student in Jining Mansion. He is going to take part in the imperial examination this year. There is no problem with his ability to participate in the imperial examination."

"The one on the right is a businessman who suddenly appeared a few years ago. Although he appeared suddenly, he quickly accumulated unimaginable money and wealth. Even the old family, the imperial merchant Xue's family, can only open their mouths in front of them. My own heritage is deep."

Both of them stared at this place, and the eyes of those who came with Lin Yang turned red with eager envy.

Lu Ciyu seemed to see a tab appearing in front of him:

Players please choose: A. Leaping over the Dragon Gate B. Wealthy Peony, the system will start side missions according to your choice.

Mr. Lu is not a player, Mr. Lu doesn't want to choose any of them.

He smiled: "Both are very good. Actually, if I have to be honest, I still prefer my flowers and plants."

The old man didn't seem to have expected it, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

"Choose nothing...choose nothing..."

"He didn't choose anything, what a wayward boy."

The old man sighed, turned and walked to the next table.

Lu Ciyu continued to whisper to Lin Chi.

The old man walked around from table to table, and then he clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"...The lantern is not only a lighting object, but also a medium to convey the mood of the maker...The shape of the lamp is only one of the elements, and the theme, content and color painted on the lamp are also just different ways of expression ...".

"...the change in color, the penetrating power of the candlelight will be taken into account."

"To sum up, the lantern I selected this year... is the peony Ronghua."

There were bursts of exclamation and joy from a distance, Lu Ciyu took a look from a distance, the boy who drew the peony picture was surrounded by the crowd, and couldn't see anything clearly.

After the first one was over, there was still the second one, which was won by Liyuelongmen and another pair of Dachen Shengshi.

Lu Ciyu's lamp only got the top three.

His painters are actually not weaker than the others, but because of the use of color and composition, most of the candlelight is covered when it shines from the inside.

The lantern is essentially used for lighting. When the old man nominated him, he criticized Lu Ciyu severely for "paying too much attention to appearance and ignoring practicality".

The other sides are fine, but the darker side has been painted several times by him, so the candlelight can hardly reflect much.

Lu Ciyu nodded and accepted it humbly, but he didn't plan to use this exhibition lamp to illuminate, and he completely ignored the question of practical ability since he started writing.

But the old man didn't just criticize, he also mentioned the painter's painting skills in a blink of an eye.He knew what Lu Ciyu was thinking and didn't say much, but most people didn't notice this sentence.

The winners of the first and second prizes stepped forward to choose the prizes, but when it was Lu Ciyu's turn, he was a little embarrassed.

The old man prepared a lot of things, and he let them choose them in order. Lu Ciyu dragged Lin Chi to the back of the stage, and unexpectedly saw many "treasures" of this world.

For example, a coral tree in the South China Sea, the size of a large pot is about the height of a person's calf, and its appearance is also excellent.Lu Ciyu knew that Jining Mansion once faced the sea, but he didn't expect to see something in the sea at a lantern festival.

Another example is the multi-color glazed jade pendant, which is a symbol of status or money, and is put in a small open wooden box for people to choose.

Lu Ciyu walked over one by one, really wanting nothing.

Lin Chi saw a guqin on the table at a glance. He didn't understand these things, so he just poked Lu Ciyu: "Mr. Lu, look at that piano...it seems to have been burned by something and the tail is blackened."

There was a sound of laughter from the side, Lu Ciyu gave the man a cold look, turned around and rubbed Lin Chi's head, without thinking about whether Lin Chi's speech just now would make him lose face.

"It's not burnt, it's made that way."

It is really a psychedelic dynasty, some things have legends here, and some things are completely blank.

This violin is definitely not the one in the legend. You can tell from the color of the wood that it was not made for a long time.

He pulled Lin Chi closer, didn't even tune the notes, just fiddled with the strings a few times casually, and played a few out-of-tune notes.

He likes the tone.

Lu Ciyu made a decision in his heart, and turned around: "That's it."

The old man waved his hand: "Yes."

Lu Ciyu handed the piano to Lin Chi, and Lin Chi carried it back to the table to pack up his things. Just as Lu Ciyu picked up the lantern, he heard the dissatisfied man beside him say, "I don't agree!"

Lu Ciyu looked at him sideways: "Where do you disagree?"

The man was indignant: "Isn't it just four pairs of flowers and a piece of Chinese characters? How can I win the top three? What's wrong with my plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum?"

Lu Ciyu sighed.

The old gentleman walked over swayingly.Because you are too utilitarian?It's not easy to say that.

Seeing the man's angrily expression, he casually pointed at the drawing paper that hadn't been collected yet: "The pen and paper are here, how about this young master draw exactly the same pattern as Mr. Lu's pattern? The drawing is the same." As a result, I will recognize you as the third best, how about it?"

The man's face was full of joy: "So many people present are listening! Mister, you must keep your word!"

Lu Ciyu was not in a hurry to leave, and leaned against the table with folded arms to watch him draw.

……

The longer time passed, the more sweat dripped from the man's forehead.

He was not a high-quality person in the first place, and the disturbance just now attracted the attention of many people.

At this moment, writing and writing under the gaze of everyone, the whole person seemed a little nervous.

The scholar who drew the carp jumping over the dragon gate didn't leave either, but seeing his slightly trembling fingertips, he shook his head from the bottom of his heart—if he entered the palace and saw Long Yan in this state, he might be frightened and fainted.

Although Lu Ciyu's paintings are very beautiful, the flowers on them are unprecedented and quite innovative, but they are very simple to look at. I didn't expect him to pick up the brush several times and still not find the feeling.

Of course I couldn't find it. In order to highlight some effects, Lu Ciyu specially used a lot of painting methods, and even chose impasto in some places.

However, due to this condition and the material effect of the pigment paper is very unsatisfactory, on the contrary, the finished product after painting looks nondescript, even a little weird.Fortunately, after installing the lantern and putting candles in it, the effect is not bad, and it can still be supported for a while.

However, he saw that the paint didn't seem to be able to last for too long, and it was scorched by the flames day by day, so it might fade and turn yellow after a while.

The man scrapped several pictures back and forth before he managed to get Zhang Hexin. He drew the picture and put it on other lanterns for comparison, but the light and shadow effect caused by the refraction of candlelight was always not as good as Lu Ciyu's.

He gritted his teeth and drew for a while, before Lu Ciyu said anything, the others began to get impatient.

"I said, can you do it? If you can't, admit defeat, don't waste everyone's time!"

"Yes, everyone is still waiting to watch the lantern show and join in the fun, don't dawdle, are you a man!"

"I... I can still draw!"

The man's head was covered with sweat, and his back was almost soaked. He tried his best to pick up the pen, but his hands trembled and he drew a long diagonal line on the white paper.

He tried several times but failed to get a satisfactory result, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "I admit defeat."
