Lian Jin nodded: "Not bad."
"That's it." Doudou said.
The man was furious with Doudou. What the hell? He was being taken over by a little brat, showing off in front of him!
He was about to lose his temper when Ma Jun gave him a cold look and said, "The game is about to start. No matter what happens, let's talk about it after the game."
Ma Jun can't let anyone mess up his good deeds!
Suddenly a farce broke out, leaving everyone wanting more, but when the gong sounded the competition began.
Everyone started to concentrate on painting.
At this time, County Magistrate Ma accompanied officials from the Hanlin Academy to the painting site.
They looked over one by one, and when the officials from the Hanlin Academy saw Ma Jun's paintings, their eyes lit up and they nodded with satisfaction.
Coincidentally, Ma Jun also raised his head and looked towards them, and County Magistrate Ma nodded at Ma Jun.
Ma Jun couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, feeling completely confident.
As for Wu Mingde, County Magistrate Ma didn't even bring the officials over to see him, because he saw that the clothes Wu Mingde and his companions were wearing were very shabby, and he thought that they must not even be able to get decent paint, let alone paint a decent picture.
If he had boasted that he would invite all academies to participate in the competition, he would not have invited people from Yingtian Academy as well.
Looking at it now, it’s really disgusting.
Knowing that today is such an important day, you still dress like this, which is clearly a lack of respect for him.
In that case, he doesn't need to give these people face.
The officials of the Hanlin Academy were also somewhat disappointed. Apart from Ma Jun's good painting skills, he didn't like any of the others.
To be fair, they asked everyone to show their paintings, let everyone look at them again, and then select the best paintings.
The official from the Hanlin Academy didn't want to look at it anymore because he already knew the painting skills of those people.
Even if you draw the whole picture completely, it won't be much better.
"No need. I think that among all the paintings here, only Master Ma's painting can be considered good. He is just qualified to enter our Hanlin Academy. However, he still needs to work hard after entering. We have annual assessments. If his painting skills do not improve, he will most likely be forced to leave."
This official was reminding Ma Jun not to think that everything would be solved once and for all once he went in.
Ma Jun bowed hastily and replied, "I will continue to work hard and will not let you down, sir."
"Very good, the future is indeed formidable."
Seeing that the officials from the Hanlin Academy were about to leave, Doudou couldn't help but get anxious. He clearly saw that those people didn't even come to see the paintings of the three brothers.
Why do you say Ma Jun’s is the best?
He is not convinced!
As soon as Doudou moved, he was stopped by someone. By the time he broke free from the man, County Magistrate Ma and the officials had already walked away.
Others were congratulating Ma Jun, but Ma Jun held his chin high with a look of pride on his face.
"You all don't think there's something fishy going on here because the adults just took a look around and fell in love with me, do you?"
Ma Jun said this on purpose.
At first everyone was dissatisfied, but after coming to Ma Jun's position and seeing his paintings, they realized where they were inferior.
At this moment, everyone can only admire him and no one dares to have any opinions.
Doudou and Lian Jin went up to take a look at Ma Jun's painting.
"I feel like my painting is not as beautiful as yours." Lian Jin said.
Doudou nodded: "I think so too."
As soon as they finished speaking, the others burst into laughter.
"The ignorant child speaks wildly."
Doudou looked at Ma Jun's painting and felt sad.
His paintings are obviously better than Ma Jun's, so why does no one even look at him?
He wanted to show it to everyone, but no one cared at all and was just complimenting Ma Jun.
After all, Ma Jun was selected to become a member of the Hanlin Academy, while Doudou was nothing.
Wu Mingde's painting skills are average, but he also thinks Doudou's paintings are indeed more beautiful.
But instead of talking nonsense here with those who don't value them at all, it is better to go to the officials of the Hanlin Academy.
He acted decisively, put away Doudou's freshly dried paintings, and took his two fellow apprentices to find the officials of the Hanlin Academy.
But they searched all the way and couldn't find the man.
Finally I was told that the man had left.
Xie Yunjiao, who was waiting outside the door, knew that the result was not ideal when she saw their expressions. She wanted to say something comforting to Doudou, but when she heard Wu Mingde explain the reason, she couldn't help but get angry.
"Those people are really going too far. I must find that official and show him Doudou's paintings!" Xie Yunjiao said angrily.
It’s a pity that how can she find him in such a vast crowd?
Suddenly, a white light flashed in her mind and she quickly caught it.
"Let's go to Yuemanlou!"
She remembered that Yang Shengshan had originally wanted to come with them this morning to watch Doudou and the others paint.
But suddenly we received a notice that a guest of special status wanted to dine at Yuemanlou.
Yang Shengshan wanted to make proper arrangements, so he didn't have time to come with Xie Yunjiao.
Thinking about it this way, the so-called special guest should be an official from the Hanlin Academy.
"Why are you here? Do you have any good news to tell me?" Yang Shengshan asked immediately when he saw Xie Yunjiao and others.
Before anyone could respond, he continued, "But the kitchen is busy right now. When they're done, I'll have Xiao Ding and the others cook something to celebrate for you."
"No need for that. They made the decision without even looking at Doudou and the others' paintings," said Xie Yunjiao.
