Chapter 167: The Scholar Who Entered the Examination Hall
Calligraphy and painting, calligraphy and painting, calligraphy and painting have always been closely connected and inseparable.
As a competition event that has always been eagerly anticipated and has received a lot of attention, the first one is the calligraphy and painting competition.
Suddenly, a clear and melodious sound of a gong was heard. The sound seemed to have a magical power and instantly echoed throughout the venue.
At this time, Yuanniang, the host, walked up to the stage slowly with a smile on her face and elegant manners.
She opened her red lips slightly and said in a clear and pleasant voice, "Dear guests, today our long-awaited calligraphy and painting competition is about to grandly begin. I am honored to be standing here at this special moment to host this wonderful event for you all."
"First, let me introduce to you the prizes for this calligraphy and painting competition."
"The prize for the first-place winner of this competition is a precious Duan inkstone."
"Secondly, the second-place prize is a piece of Yidao Chengxintang paper. This paper is as smooth as spring water, as fine as a silk cocoon, tougher than Shu paper, and brighter than Yanzhu."
"Furthermore, the third place prize is a set of high-quality Xuan brushes."
As Yuanniang finished her words, someone quickly came with the prizes and slowly walked around among the judges and contestants.
Each one is of top quality, and each one is enough to drive the readers here crazy.
Therefore, these prizes were only briefly displayed before they left the venue along with the students carrying them. For a moment, many people's minds were distracted by them.
Yuanniang on the podium saw that her goal had been achieved and immediately said, "Next, let us all look forward to the outstanding performances of each contestant and witness the opening of this artistic feast together."
After saying this, Yuanniang bowed slightly and gestured to the people below the stage.
At this time, the contestants outside the venue hurriedly composed themselves and then walked towards the stadium with steady and determined steps.
The preliminary round is relatively simple. Participants only need to use their best painting and calligraphy styles within the specified time.
Despite this, due to the three top prizes, the contestants still tried their best, which caused the actual time of the competition to be much longer than originally planned.
This caused some impatient people to shift their attention to jewelry making.
This was truly remarkable. "Is this the product of just a few months' work? With such skill, it's completely feasible for our shop to use it as its treasured treasure."
How should I put it? In this world, jewelry making is still at the 2D stage.
However, the "Women's College" exists like a plug-in because of Chu Ci.
With Sun Fu's help and support, he has not only entered the 3D stage, but his refining skills are also more than one level higher than those of ordinary masters in Lianzhou.
"As expected, he was able to establish a 'Women's College' in Lianzhou in just a few months. He truly has many talented people under his command."
Some people couldn't help but sigh, while others had some crooked thoughts. "I just wonder who this talented person is?"
But as soon as this thought came to mind, it was immediately interrupted by my good friend.
"Stop it now! Don't use those shameful tactics on the 'Women's College'. I believe you definitely don't want to end up with nothing, nothing at all, or even be expelled from Lianzhou!"
As he spoke, he looked around deliberately, making sure there was no one around who he couldn't afford to offend, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, I sighed in my heart, perhaps I should distance myself from my old friend in the future. As for the "Women's College"...
It seems that from now on, we need to strengthen our ties with the "Women's College".
Perhaps, one day my business will not be limited to Lianzhou!
Chu Ci had no idea that with just one match, she had won herself a steadfast friend. At this moment, she was busy in the kitchen.
Since Zhang Yaoyang gave enough face and said those words, Chu Ci couldn't let the other party lose face.
However, it was not yet time for dinner. Instead, the sun was high in the sky, and the weather was hot and humid. After a little thought, he brought out the fruits that had been extremely popular in his previous life.
"No wonder Lord Sima's wife is so obsessed with the food at the 'Women's College'! The chefs here are really capable." It was obvious that these words were spoken by someone who didn't know much about the "Women's College".
There are people around who want to show off but are worried about where to show off. This is just the opportunity that comes to them.
Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, she pulled the man aside and started talking: "You don't know this at all. The cafeteria of the Women's College doesn't rely on the cooks, but on the teachers and students of the college."
"Yes, yes, I heard from my sister that Principal Chu is particularly good at innovating dishes. Maybe this 'fruit salad' is something Principal Chu came up with recently." Well, this is another show-off.
…
However, this kind of showing off was not annoying at all, but instead invisibly brought the people present closer together.
This was something Chu Ci had never expected at this moment.
As time goes by, after the preliminary and semi-final rounds, the number of students who remain is less than one-tenth of the original number.
In order to be able to present the awards at the same time, the major examination proposed by Chu Ci was also put on the agenda.
Everything went extremely smoothly.
Just when the Qiaozhu competition was going on, a student from the county school accidentally broke into the examination venue.
So the student watched helplessly as the apparently weak-looking schoolmate castrated the pig so cleanly and efficiently.
The student's heart suddenly trembled and he involuntarily clamped his legs together.
A scream of "Ah——" suddenly rang out.
Fortunately, the students' hands were steady enough, otherwise, the person holding the knife would have hurt himself because of the student's scream.
Qianxue, who was invigilating the exam, suddenly had a sharp look in her eyes and immediately chased after him.
He swung the whip in his hand violently, and the already frightened scholar fell to the ground. "Ah, don't kill me, don't kill me."
Qianxue's frown deepened upon hearing this, and she wondered who would want to kill such a fool. "Who are you? Why are you here at our crucial exam venue?"
However, the other party gave an irrelevant answer: "Don't worry, lady, don't worry. I will definitely not tell anyone what I saw."
Xiao Qianxue's mood grew worse, and she asked coldly, "What do you mean? Do you think we're doing something illegal?"
"No, no. I'm just timid and can't stand the smell of blood." This man was simply a piece of cotton. Although Qianxue was angry, she could do nothing about it.
