The back hall of the Puyu Pavilion.

The candidates' drawings were placed on the table of Nuoda according to the classification of the topics.The examiners and Shao Erxue judged on the spot, and selected the drawings that passed one by one.

Su Shiqing's lifelike and unique drawing was placed in the most conspicuous position, and everyone began to eagerly participate in the review.

An examiner shook his head and said: "I think it's a pity, this person's painting skills are not bad, and he has a lot of experience in the use of colors, but the content of this painting... I don't know how it is related to the topic given by the chief inspector." ?”

Some people agreed: "Yes, it is far from the topic. No matter how good the painting is, it is futile."

Another examiner retorted: "No! My lords, take a closer look at the paper umbrella in this picture. There is a pool of water stains. It is clear that the maidservant at home just came in and put it there; look at the side This maidservant is baking wet clothes on the stove in her hand. If it is not raining outside, how can there be water stains and the action of drying clothes? And the moths around the window, all of which show that' The word 'rain'!"

"Even so, the 'sound of rain' may not be seen. According to the official, this painting only reflects the word 'rain' and does not fully reflect the word 'sound of rain'. The content is still a bit superficial. The painting The technique is also a bit green and blunt.”

The examiner reminded: "The most important thing for us to select painters is to see if they have talent, and the painting skills can be continuously improved. Take a good look at this painting. The most exquisite thing about this painting is this woman. His black eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he was sitting sideways in front of the window with his head bowed, all his sorrows were condensed in the sad eyes. What's more, the half-opened scroll in his hand was turned upside down, showing that it was not I'm reading a book, but I'm listening to the rain, doesn't this correspond to the phrase "Listen to the sound of the rain in the middle of the night, full of sorrow and loneliness"?"

The examiner said again: "The colors are bright but not colorful, restrained and restrained, modest and reserved, which makes people feel excited at the first sight. Isn't this the embodiment of a masterpiece?"

Everyone had a feeling of reminding the empowerment, and they all nodded in agreement.

Is the woman in the painting really lonely?Or is it lonely?I am afraid that only the painters know, after all, everyone has a different understanding of painting.

"Can this painting be rated as a first-class?"

Someone agreed: "Of course."

Some people also refuted: "The selection is certain, but it may be inappropriate to rate it as a first-class."

……

Everyone started discussing with each other.

Because he couldn't make up his mind, the examiner cast his eyes on Shao Erxue who had never spoken, and asked, "Master Master Jian, this time the topic was proposed by you, so you can come and judge it."

Shao Erxue suddenly sighed: "Oh, what a pity."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling a bit inexplicable.

"What a pity? What a pity?"

"This person is not suitable for the painting academy."

The examiner asked in surprise, "Why did you say that?"

Shao Erxue slowly raised his eyes, his eyes filled with strange emotions: "This man is an unstoppable wind."

Everyone looked at Shao Erxue with doubts on their faces, but they seemed to understand the meaning of Shao Erxue's words.

The next morning.

Just after dawn, the entrance of the Puyu Pavilion was crowded with people.Today is the day when the results are released, and all the candidates are gathered here.

"First grade in the first test, Xu Hanyuan!"

Su Shiqing heard the voice of the envoy shouting from a long distance.

Every time the gong was struck, there was a loud shout, announcing to everyone who would be the top three winners in this initial test.

"The second best in the first test, Li Wei!"

……

Su Shiqing squeezed into the crowd with great difficulty, and tried hard to find the name "Gu Meisheng" on the red list. She searched several times, but she still couldn't see those three words.

The more he searched, the colder he became, he was extremely disappointed, his face turned ashen, he never expected that he would fail the exam.

At the end of the red list, there are all those frustrated, painful, and sad candidates who failed the list.Some with a good attitude even came to comfort him, don't be in a hurry, go back for a few years to hone your painting skills, and come back for the exam next time.

How could they know the uneasiness and depression in his heart.

It's one thing to fail the exam, but it's another thing to be caught by Gu Meisheng and put in jail.

Sudden.

A fat hand rested on his shoulder, and an excited and resonant laughter rang in his ears: "Brother Gu! You are here too! How are you? Are you on the list?"

You don't need to look back to know who is behind you, Su Shiqing shakes her head feebly like a rooster who has lost her fighting spirit.Seeing Wang Dafu's appearance of fearing that the world would not know, one can probably guess that he must have passed.

Seeing him so downcast, Wang Dafu quickly stopped his smile, coughed twice and comforted him: "Brother Gu, you are still young, and there will be many opportunities in the future, so you should not be in a hurry."

Su Shiqing shook off his hand angrily, clenched her fists and was about to leave.

Suddenly, the envoy struck the gong again and again.

"Gu Meisheng! Is Gu Meisheng here?..."

After Wang Dafu heard it, he hurriedly grabbed Su Shiqing who had lost his soul: "Hey, brother Gu, I'm calling your name!"

Only then did Su Shiqing come back to her senses, the haze immediately swept away from her face, she excitedly pushed aside the crowd and ran to the envoy, shouting loudly: "I am Gu Meisheng! I am!"

The envoy sized him up, and then announced: "This is the first round of re-election, Gu Meisheng."

One word stirred up a thousand layers of waves, and the crowd immediately exploded.

"Re-election? What's going on?"

"I've never heard of re-election?"

……

The envoy explained: "This re-election is the decision of Master Jian."

"Master Master?"

"Yes, it's Mr. Shao from Jincheng."

Shao Erxue?Su Shiqing's eyes widened in surprise, how could it be him?Why is he doing this?

Wang Dafu felt curious: "What's so special about this re-election?"

"Master Master Jian hasn't made it clear yet, but he just asked me to pass on to Mr. Gu, please come to the back hall of the Puyu Pavilion to take part in the re-examination at the end of today."

"Today is not the time?"

Su Shiqing thought anxiously, could it be that Shao Erxue found out that she was not Gu Meisheng?Or did Shao Erxue remember the fact that she painted fakes?What can I do?

Wang Dafu congratulated him with a smile: "That's great, Brother Gu! Re-election, there is still a chance!"

Su Shiqing twitched the corners of her mouth, smiling uglier than crying: "Yes, yes..."

After returning to the inn, he began to rack his brains, thinking about how to avoid being recognized by Shao Erxue.I wanted to dress up in disguise, but felt it was inappropriate, so I finally decided to pretend to be sick, so I went to a nearby mask vendor and bought a mask to put on my face.

not yet.

Su Shiqing came to the Puyu Museum as scheduled.It turned out that he was not the only candidate for the re-selection, and there were two other candidates who came to the exam together.

Different from the initial test, the guards in front of the door strictly checked and searched before letting people in.

Su Shiqing was very nervous, worried whether she would reveal her secrets.Fortunately, the envoy only looked at his face, patted his sleeves and waist, and let him in after checking the painting tube.

The three of them sat in front of the prepared table, looking very nervous.

The envoy of the transmission came in: "Master Jian has arrived."

ah!Shao Erxue is here!Su Shiqing hurriedly checked the mask on her face to make sure she wasn't recognized.

The three stood up at the same time, standing in awe.

At this time, a pair of black brocade boots climbed the stone steps, and Shao Erxue walked into the room slowly, holding the hem of the scarlet official uniform.

"See Master Jian."

The three saluted him in unison.

"Exemption."

Shao Erxue glanced at them, and after seeing the mask on Su Shiqing's face, she came over and asked, "Why are you wearing this?"

Su Shiqing didn't dare to raise her head, and replied cautiously: "The student contracted rubella last night, so I was afraid to scare you, so I wore this mask."

"Then is there something wrong with your health?"

"Thanks to the care of the adults, the student's health is not serious."

Shao Erxue said softly: "You must not force yourself."

"Thank you, Master Jian."

Su Shiqing suddenly felt that Shao Erxue's attitude today was blissful, and it didn't seem that bad.

"The three of you, please take your seats."

After finishing speaking, Shao Erxue turned around and shouted outside the door: "Master Guo, please come in."

After a while, a thin old man in coarse clothes walked in slowly.

Seeing the old man, Su Shiqing couldn't help but look up at Shao Erxue.I heard that the two questions in the first test were all given by him. They are really novel and interesting, and the difficulty is quite high. I don’t know what kind of questions will be asked in the second test to confuse them?

"This is Master Guo, and he is the subject of today's retest."

"what?"

The three looked at each other, puzzled.

Shao Erxue explained: "Though the three of you failed the exam, your aptitude is acceptable, so I want to give you a chance to re-elect. If you pass, you can enter the general examination."

"Really?"

"Great!"

The three of them were all surprised, they didn't expect such a good thing.

Su Shiqing was eager to try: "Master, please come up with a question!"

Shao Erxue nodded: "The three of you need to observe Master Guo, and then draw a portrait of him."

"So simple?"

"What about the quota? Is it one of three choices?"

"It depends on everyone's ability. It is possible that three of them can be selected at the same time, or it is possible that none of them can be selected."

If you can't get in, wouldn't you have to wait another four years to take the preliminary test again?Su Shiqing frowned tightly, just taking an exam for someone else, why are there so many twists and turns?It seems that this time it is a must!

"This re-election will end at dusk. I hope everyone can live up to expectations and stand out."

"Yes, Master Jian."

After the three of them sat down again, the exam officially began.

Master Guo sat upright on the high chair, with a serious expression and a serious expression at this moment. His thin face and small eyes showed a hint of indifference.

The other two have already started to study ink and draft, but Su Shiqing has not seen the pen yet.

Shao Erxue walked up to him and asked, "But you don't feel well?"

Su Shiqing shook her head slightly: "My lord, it's not that the students are not feeling well, but that they don't know where to start writing."

Master Guo like this is too blunt and unnatural, and even if he can paint it, he is not vivid enough, so he doesn't want to paint it.

Shao Erxue was slightly surprised: "You don't know how to draw portraits?"

If you want to enter the painting academy, you must not know how to paint portraits. This is the foundation for every painter.

Su Shiqing shook her head again: "My lord, can the students follow up and say a few words to Master Guo?"

"Why?"

Su Shiqing explained: "When students painted portraits of others, they would first observe the person's talking and laughing behaviors, find out the person's temperament, understand his heart, and then write. Breathe and speak, as if this person is living in the painting."

Hearing this, Shao Erxue's black eyes flashed with surprise, he looked at Su Shiqing's beautiful eyes under the mask, and sighed in his heart, although this person is young, he has already experienced the high-level realm of painting, which is really commendable.

"it is good."

"Thank you, sir!" Su Shiqing said happily.

The two candidates who were left aside looked at each other suspiciously and curiously, could they still do this?
