Sui Jiu Dan blue half-pin

In the clear blue sky, a fireball-like sun hangs, and the clouds seem to be melted by the sun, disappearing without a trace.

All the candidates were thinking hard, drawing and rubbing off and redrawing again, the floor was full of waste manuscripts, not to mention eating dinner, they didn't even have the mind to drink saliva.

Only Su Shiqing was reincarnated like a starving ghost, eating three bowls of rice in a row and drinking a big pot of soup. The other candidates secretly admired him for having such a good appetite.

Yin Tangfeng looked at Su Shiqing, showing a disgusted expression: "Oh...it's really an embarrassment to the Academy of Painting."

Han Xizi suddenly appeared behind him and said, "It looks like you're in good shape, and you're still in the mood to eat so much."

Yin Tangfeng was startled, and quickly patted his chest, but Han Xizi was an elder and a superior, so it was not easy to get angry.

Increasingly westward.

After eating and drinking, Su Shiqing slowly spread out the rice paper and slowly grinded the ink.Everyone could see that he was only now starting to paint.Looking around, almost all the candidates have basically finalized their drafts, and all they need to do is lay down new paper for tracing and coloring.

Su Shiqing picked up the pen and glanced at the "Kuixing Diandou" prepared by Shao Erxue for him, and saw him on the stage encouraging himself with his eyes, so he smiled at him.Then adjust the water without hesitation, dip the ink, and write quickly with confidence and firmness.

A clear picture emerged in Su Shiqing's head, and he decided to follow his heart, using sharp and vigorous lines with ease to describe his thoughts and feelings in detail.

The next day, near the time of Si.

The invigilator who made the rounds came to Su Shiqing's side and stopped to observe for a long time. After gradually comprehending the implication, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly ran to the stage to report to the examiners.

"My lords! That, that candidate's painting..." He looked flustered and didn't know what to say for a while.

Jietai's expression froze, the hand holding the tea stopped, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Shao Erxue couldn't help becoming nervous.

"The theme of that painting... I don't know how to express it, so please take a closer look."

Jie Tai and the others saw the invigilator hesitating, and the words were unclear, so they walked down together to see what happened.

Seeing that Su Shiqing was depicting a skeleton covered in white bones, Jie Tai was furious.

He suddenly grabbed Su Shiqing by the collar, lifted him up, threw him viciously to the guards at the side, and shouted: "What is this painted? Are you blatantly despising the Holy One! How unreasonable! Arrest him!" "

"Yes!" The guard said and dragged Su Shiqing to the door.

Su Shiqing struggled and shouted in fear: "Lord Shi Ti! Please wait a moment, why are you arresting the villain?"

Seeing this, Shao Erxue rushed over, blocking the way of the guards, with a calm expression: "Wait a minute! Lord Shi Ti, why did you arrest him?"

Jietai pointed at Su Shiqing's painting angrily: "Look at what he painted? An evil ghost! Can such a painting be presented to the Holy One?"

Su Shiqing hastily argued: "It's not Mr. Shiti! Please listen to the villain's explanation, this is a painting with a story and meaning! It's not just what you see!"

"It's nonsense! The Empress Dowager's birthday is coming soon, what is the intention of such a story? No matter what the moral is, it cannot be presented in front of the Holy One! Hold it down for me!"

Jietai couldn't listen to Su Shiqing's explanation at all.

"No, Master Shi Ti! Please trust the villain!" Su Shiqing said very fast, "The Holy One will definitely like this painting, and everyone will like it, please let me finish it! Please my lord!"

"Excessive words! Someone..."

Shao Erxue stood in front of Su Shiqing again, arguing: "Lord Shi Ti! Don't forget that this entrance examination is personally inspected by the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty will naturally make a fair judgment on all the candidates' paintings. My lords are no different from me. You are just an invigilator who is assisting from the side, are you going to disobey the order of the Holy Majesty and ignore the will of the Holy Majesty? What's more, before the Master Daizhao has spoken, are you going to make your own opinion?"

Daizhao is the highest official position in the Academy of Painting, held by Han Xizi who has just returned.

At this time, Han Xizi was looking at Su Shiqing's paintings with relish, stroking his mustache from time to time, and showing admiration with a smile on his face, as if he had no intention of understanding their disputes.

Jietai yelled at Shao Erxue angrily: "It's unreasonable! Are you even going to fight against me? Who here doesn't know that this guy is your apprentice. Are you going to cover up his crimes?"

At this time, Yin Tangfeng, who has never had anything to do with himself, persuaded Shao Erxue: "Such a painting cannot be delivered to the Holy Majesty at all. Even if it is delivered, can you guarantee that the Holy Majesty will not be furious? At that time, you will not be in trouble." It’s just you, and the whole painting academy.”

"I believe in him."

Shao Erxue gritted his teeth secretly, clenched his fists tightly, his fingertips turned white, he turned his head to look at Su Shiqing, then knelt in front of Jietai on one knee, begging: "Master Shi Ti, please look at me For Erxue's sake, please let him finish the painting, Erxue is willing to guarantee it with her life..."

Jie Tai was shocked: "You...!"

There was an uproar in the examination room, who would have thought that Shao Erxue, such a dignified court painter, would kneel down and beg for mercy for an unremarkable boy.

Su Shiqing couldn't help but her eyes were red, and she choked with sobs: "My lord! Get up quickly, I won't draw anymore! I won't draw anymore!"

Regardless of Su Shiqing's pleading, Shao Erxue stared firmly at Jietai, as if she wanted to see his heart: "Why can't you choose to believe once, just like you did to your son back then, if you are willing to believe him, maybe he won't?" It will become what it is now.”

"Stop talking!" Jietai was so angry that he turned his back and panted violently, closing his eyes and trying to calm down his anger, "It's not your turn to discuss the official's family affairs!"

At this time, Han Xizi, who had never spoken, finally spoke.

"Master Shi Ti, don't be so impatient. According to my opinion, this child's painting is a shocking work. It is impeccable both in terms of painting skills and subject matter. You may not like it, but if you don’t try, who will know? Maybe...the future achievements of this child will be higher than you and me. "

With a dark face, Jie Tai shook his sleeves, snorted coldly from his nostrils, then looked up at the sun above his head, his serious expression finally loosened.

"Whether you're defending him like this, are you helping him or hurting him? You know for sure. There is less than half an hour left. Let the fate of this child be arranged by God."

After speaking, he walked towards the invigilator's desk without looking back.

Everyone noticed that the scale on the armillary sphere had turned to the last scale, which meant that the time left for the candidates was less than half an hour.In such a short period of time, it is extremely difficult to complete the delayed painting.

Shao Erxue got up immediately, held Su Shiqing's shoulder, looked at him trustingly and said: "Time is running out, go and finish painting it."

Su Shiqing wiped away her tears and nodded solemnly.

Hurry up to trace the draft, toning and coloring. After drawing all the characters and scenes, use ink to dye the long black hair, then cover the transparent gauze with white paint, and then fill the window with cinnabar The character "囍" and the red tent, and finally use the light yellow paint to lightly brush out the skin color of the characters, and the vermilion lightly points out the small cherry mouth...

Seeing that other candidates had stopped writing and sat quietly, waiting for the handover, and the puppet was about to ring, Su Shiqing was still concentrating on coloring.Han Xizi couldn't sit still any longer, and urged on the stage in a low voice: "Hurry up, little one, hurry up...!"

Shao Erxue waited till sweat dripped from his forehead, and even the indifferent Yin Tangfeng clenched his fists nervously, success or failure depended on it.

"Boom boom boom!"

The puppet on the armillary sphere finally rang, and Su Shiqing also stopped writing at the very moment. Everyone who was tense breathed a sigh of relief, and Shao Erxue's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

After Su Shiqing handed in the drawing, something unexpected happened to everyone.The entire school suddenly burst into warm applause, like boiling, all the candidates were cheering for Su Shiqing's bravery, and there were voices of envy and praise everywhere.

Surrounded by all the candidates, he was so moved that he burst into tears, unable to calm down for a long time.

After the guards collected all the sketches, Shao Erxue's fingers were trembling while holding the unique sketch.

Jietai walked up to him without losing the opportunity, patted him on the shoulder and said indifferently: "If the sage blames it, the whole Academy of Painting may suffer. Don't forget what you said, you can do it yourself."

Hearing these words, Shao Erxue's heart was very heavy. On the one hand, she was disturbed by the unpredictability of the Sacred Heart, and on the other hand, she was worried about Su Shiqing's fate.

While thinking, Su Shiqing suddenly ran towards him and hugged him vigorously.

"Thank you, Brother Han Su!"

The voice is small, and slightly crying.

Shao Erxue was so greedy for this hug, he refused to let go for a long time, he patted Su Shiqing's back lightly, and said: "Actually... I'm quite scared too."

Su Shiqing slowly let go of her hand, quietly staring at the uneasiness revealed in his dark eyes.

"I have always thought that you are not suitable for the painting academy, but my selfishness made me bring you here and want to keep you here, but until now, even I don't know whether it is right or wrong to do so... ...?"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to study in the painting academy in my life, let alone be famous. You gave me the best life. I should thank you. How can I blame you?"

Hearing this, Shao Erxue finally stretched his brows, his gentle smile matched his handsome face very well.

The moment he saw him smile, Su Shiqing felt very strange, as if everything around him brightened up, and any difficulties seemed nothing to fear in front of this smile.

Su Shiqing was a little distracted, how he wished that Shao Erxue could keep smiling like this, and stop worrying about his affairs.

Back to the painting academy.

According to Su Shiqing's identification, Shao Erxue found the painter who gave him the note.

The painter knelt tremblingly in the center of the painting hall.

Shao Erxue's eyes shot out murderous chills, looked at the group of painters, and asked, "Who ordered you to do it?"

"Yes Yes……"

The painter looked at Wu Jun and the others in horror, but was threatened by Wu Jun and stared back.

The artist had a clue in their hands, struggled for a long time, and finally said with determination: "It was me...I was jealous of Gu Meisheng, so I had him knocked out and thrown to the mountain."

Su Shiqing felt unbelievable: "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to kill me? Is it just because of jealousy?"

The painter had hatred in his eyes: "Yes, I'm jealous of your talent, and I'm jealous of Master Shao's appreciation for you!"

Shao Erxue looked at him, his eyes were as terrifying as Shura: "If you insist on not telling the truth, I will have no choice but to break your hand, expel you from the Academy of Painting, and hand it over to the government."

The artist looked at Shao Erxue weeping bitterly, gritted his teeth, and dared not say the name of the instigator.

"Okay, take him down with me."

Several courtyard guards came in and dragged the painter out, and soon there were screams of pain outside.

All the painters broke out in a cold sweat.

Shao Erxue stood up and glanced coldly at the bottom: "You all listen to me, there is no room for narrow-minded people in the painting academy, let alone bad apples. If something like this happens again next time, I will definitely punish you severely." No loan, no tolerance!"

"Yes!"

The apprentices agreed immediately, and dared not refuse.
