Sui Jiu Dan blue half-pin

The examiner indicated that the task behind him was to unfold another question, and there were two large characters written on the paper flying and dancing: The sound of rain.

"The next question is 'Sound of Rain'. It is required that there should be no rain scene in the painting, but the viewer should hear the sound of rain. Choose one of the two questions to paint."

Before the examiner finished speaking, there was an uproar.

"How can you hear the sound of rain without seeing the rain? Isn't this embarrassing?"

"Exactly! Both questions are so difficult, what should I do?"

Su Shiqing frowned. He had heard that the examinations of the Academy of Painting were very strict. He did not expect that the first examination would be so difficult. Wouldn't the general examination and the examination be even more terrifying.

These two questions are very tricky. There must be many candidates who cannot draw them. Even if they can draw them, it will be difficult to meet the meaning of the questions. Therefore, many people are destined to fail.

Su Shiqing couldn't help taking a peek at Shao Erxue who was on the invigilator's desk.I saw him wearing a crimson official robe, with a very handsome face under the gauze cap, sitting there contentedly drinking fine silver pennies, with a calm expression on his face, as if this exam had nothing to do with him.

Before starting to write, the examiner reminded: "When all the incense is extinguished, that is, at [-] o'clock tomorrow, you have to hand over the drawing, and you will not wait when it is overdue."

"The exam begins!"

After the examiner announced the start of the exam, firecrackers sounded outside the Puyu Pavilion, and the servant stepped forward to light the incense on the fire clock, and green smoke rose from the cauldron immediately.

Candidates took out their cherished paintbrushes from the pen container one after another, began to grind ink, lay out paper, thinking about the topic they wanted to paint, some scratching their heads, some hesitating, some frowning...

After half an hour, many people have already started to paint.

Su Shiqing still closed her eyes, sitting there motionless, the scene of a luxurious banquet appeared in her mind, but the sound of rustling rain was in her ears.

This exam is related to whether I can continue to hang out in Shaocheng in the future, and it also determines Gu Meisheng's future, so only success is not allowed, and there is no way out.

On the proctor's desk.

Shao Erxue slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and his dark eyes scanned the examinees under the stage.

In the chaotic examination room, compared with the anxious and irritable examinees, the beautiful boy who sat calmly at the desk looked very different.I saw him with his eyes tightly closed, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his bright red mouth.

Some images gradually emerged in Su Shiqing's mind - thin and dense raindrops falling from the sky, patting on the banana leaves, the tender pistils of crabapple flowers swaying in the wind, the air is moist and slightly sweet, and the soft sound of the wind is in the ear Whispering softly...

Conceived.

He slowly opened his eyes, the smile on his face deepened, and his eyes exuded a moving light. He took out the pen, grinded, laid the paper, and drafted without haste, everything was so orderly.

Another half hour passed.

A slightly fat candidate behind Su Shiqing couldn't help asking him in a low voice: "Hey, hey... Brother, which topic did you choose?"

Su Shiqing turned her head to look, and saw a fat face with joy: "The sound of rain."

"The sound of rain?!" Fatty said in amazement, "I've seen people and objects painted before, but I haven't seen the sound of painting. How did you think of painting this?"

Su Shiqing said disapprovingly: "The other one is not simple, could it be that you can draw night banquet pictures?"

"Of course not, but although I haven't seen the grand banquet in the poem, the beautiful girl who draws and dances is still okay."

Su Shiqing suppressed a smile, this fat man is quite funny.

At this time, the patrol servant came towards them with a whip in his hand, and the two of them immediately shut their mouths tacitly and began to concentrate on painting.

Unknowingly, night has fallen quietly.

Rows of lanterns were lit up in the Puyu Pavilion as if they were daylight, illuminating the backyard extremely brightly.

The servants brought meals to the candidates' tables for them to eat.

Many candidates even went to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat. The ground was full of discarded paper balls, and they didn't even look at the food.

Different from others, Su Shiqing felt extremely sleepy after dinner, so she fell asleep on the table.

Midnight.

The moon was sparse in the sky, and the soft moonlight fell from high above, shining on the roof and courtyard.

Shao Erxue came down from the invigilator's table and observed the candidates' painting conditions one by one. When he walked to Su Shiqing's side, he was slightly taken aback when he saw him sleeping soundly.

The other examinees were drawing furiously, but he was lucky enough to be sleeping soundly.

Curious eyes fell on Su Shiqing's body along the moonlight.What first attracted Shao Erxue was the three writing brushes on Su Shiqing's head.Others used expensive Zihao, but he used an ordinary bamboo pen; then, his eyes moved down, gliding over the beautiful white neck, and finally landed on the sleeping profile.Under the hazy light and shadow, the curly eyelashes, small nose bridge and glossy red lips look especially beautiful.

"This guy..." was the boy I met in the painting shop.

Looks more like a woman without the fake beard.

Could it be that he...was really a woman pretending to be him?

At this moment, a candidate's coughing sound came from the side, pulling Shao Erxue's fluttering thoughts back.

He realized that he lost his composure, and hurriedly shifted his gaze to the paintings on the table.

The drawing has not yet been colored, but the composition has been basically completed. It depicts a boudoir woman reading in a leisurely state.The woman in the picture is sitting alone in front of the window, holding a half-opened book in her hand, her posture is lazy and charming, her eyebrows are slightly frowned, and her almond eyes are drooping, as if she is meditating on something, giving people a kind of helpless emptiness The feeling of hurt and hurt is really vivid and full of love.

The painting is a good painting, but how does it relate to the title?Shao Erxue couldn't see why, but she already had a faint expectation in her heart.

The next day.

Su Shiqing woke up from her sleep with the sound of "clang" when the copper bell fell.

Dawn has broken, and the morning light shines through the clouds and fills the earth, dyeing everything with a warm color.

"Huh? It's dawn!"

Su Shiqing hurriedly took the paper weight, re-layed the drawing neatly with a bang, carefully studied a bucket of fragrant ink, took out the brush from the hair bun, and continued to concentrate on painting, the tip of the brush outlined lines, and depicted more and more plump screen.

When Sishi was approaching, looking around, all the examinees had basically completed their drawings, stopped their brushes and waited there, only Su Shiqing was still preparing paints for coloring.

The patrolling examiner saw that Su Shiqing's painting was actually a boudoir girl, so he couldn't help coming over to watch it curiously, and made a clicking sound while admiring it, which attracted the attention of other examiners.

"What... are you painting?"

Su Shiqing painted with extreme concentration, his hands were dyed colorful by paint, he replied without raising his head: "Listen to the sound of rain in the middle of the night."

"Ah, so this is the topic, um...it's interesting."

The composition of the picture is so exquisite, the facial expression of the woman in the picture is very delicate and realistic, the overall color is full and rich, the light red apron, the rosy skin, the black eyes, the dim light, the boudoir bed of sandalwood color, and the orange stove Fire, gray moths, bright yellow paper umbrellas, crimson cloaks... everything is so amazing.

The examiner stroked his beard and nodded, his eyes even reluctant to leave the drawing.

The other proctors and Shao Erxue were also attracted.

Gradually, even the few examinees around secretly crowded forward curiously, peeking at Su Shiqing's painting through the gap.Everyone is thrilled with every stroke he makes.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze!"

"Show me!"

"Hey! Who stepped on me!"

Suddenly, who knows who squeezed in front of the examiner, the examiner didn't stand still, and accidentally pushed Su Shiqing's hand, and a stain instantly fell on the originally neat drawing.

"It's over!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

"What are you doing!"

The examiners angrily blasted those candidates away, and couldn't help but start yelling.

"Who did it? Hurry up and stand up!"

The examinees all lowered their heads, and no one dared to say anything, let alone admit it voluntarily.

It was almost eight o'clock, and seeing that the incense stick had burned to the end, Su Shiqing was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

He closed his eyes and tried his best to regain his composure. It would be too late to repaint now, so he could only make the mistake and see how to remedy it.

Shao Erxue stood aside, staring at the drawing and Su Shiqing's slightly trembling hands, thinking what would he do?Is it a repaint?Or save the day?

Su Shiqing opened her eyes again, looking at the overall picture, she couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

The examiner on the side couldn't help urging: "I don't have time, think of a way!"

Su Shiqing thought for a moment, then took a deep breath, and added a few more strokes to the stain. A little cat licking its feet instantly appeared on the paper, and the picture immediately became lively and lively.

The moment I stopped writing, the exam was just over.

The fat man was as excited as seeing his finished masterpiece, with envy written all over his eyes.The examiner stroked his beard in satisfaction and nodded, with an appreciative smile on his face.

Shao Erxue stood behind Su Shiqing, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

After a while, the historians took away the candidates' drawings one by one.

Su Shiqing saw that her drawing had been sent up, so she began to pack the painting equipment carefully, and her hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and now she is waiting for the announcement the day after tomorrow.

As soon as he reached the door, the fat man stopped him.

"Brother Gu, please stop! Brother Gu!"

Su Shiqing didn't realize that she was calling him, and continued walking.

The fat man ran up to him and said with a smile: "Brother Gu...meeting is fate, why don't we make friends?"

Su Shiqing pointed at herself strangely: "Are you asking me?"

The fat man nodded quickly.

Su Shiqing tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly realized that this fat man was calling herself.

"How do you know my surname is Gu?"

"That... just accidentally saw the name on your drawing."

Su Shiqing suddenly realized: "So it is."

Fat man smiled and pointed at himself and said, "My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Dafu. Everyone calls me Dafu, and you can also call me Dafu."

"Oh..." Su Shiqing nodded, "Brother Dafu."

"Then shall I call you Brother Gu?"

Su Shiqing nodded.

"Where is Brother Gu from? Where do you live now?"

Su Shiqing didn't want to have any contact with other people as Gu Meisheng, so she put on a cover: "I, my home is far away, you may not know it if you tell me, so don't mention it, by the way, I have something to do at home and I have to go back first." , we will meet later."

Wang Dafu chased after him persistently: "Brother Gu, if you need any help, you can tell me, and I will help you."

"It's nothing serious..."

"It's okay, just mention it to me, I know this place the best."

"No, no, no, goodbye!"

Su Shiqing immediately quickened her pace and hurriedly got rid of Wang Dafu.
