Chapter 277: Fraud
No one knew better than Su Yi that Liu Lan was best at the small seal script of the Western Han Dynasty. He and his doctoral students even gave her font a name - Western Han Dynasty bronze seal seal script.
This question really hits the nail on the head!
Even if Liu Lan writes in regular script, which she is not good at, she will definitely win!
Liu Lan was still undecided. She subconsciously looked at Su Yi. Su Yi nodded at her, meaning that she should just write as requested. Instructions were just instructions, and of course one could be flexible in extraordinary times. Now that Liu Lan's advantage was so obvious, why should she care about regular script or seal script!
Wu Qu, who was standing behind her, saw this scene. His expression, which was already ugly because of the extremely difficult topic, became even uglier and gloomy.
The most relaxed person in the whole audience was Su Maolin, who had already started writing. The entire text of "Yunyang Ding" has 51 words, and it would take just 15 minutes to finish writing it all. Of course he had to hurry!
One participant tried to use his mobile phone to search on Baidu, but was immediately discovered by the judges, who scolded him, "Those who break the rules will be disqualified from participating in the exhibition immediately."
People were so scared that they quickly put away their phones.
With the support of Professor Su, Liu Lan also picked up her pen, dipped it in ink and started writing.
...
...
Fifteen minutes later...
Only Liu Lan and Su Maolin finished the article, while the others did not even touch the pen from beginning to end. Their rice paper was white and clean, just like their blank minds. Without the judges saying anything, they knew that they were about to be eliminated automatically.
Next, the judges only need to review the works of Liu Man and Su Maolin.
The five calligraphers stood up at the same time and walked towards the two people.
They first looked at Su Maolin's work.
Su Xuezhen approached his son, their eyes met, and they smiled at the same time, a smile that only they could understand. Su Xuezhen stood aside in a pretentious manner, to avoid suspicion.
At this time, I remembered to avoid suspicion!
After the four judges carefully looked at Su Maolin's calligraphy, Cheng Zikun, a judge who was good at seal script, felt strange. He felt that the calligraphy written by Su Maolin on the spot was different from the "Po Yao Fu" he exhibited in the outer hall, as if... it seemed that they were not written by the same person.
He raised his doubts, a trace of guilt flashed across Su Maolin's eyes, he looked at Wang Qinghai for help, Wang Qinghai immediately came to the rescue, "After all, it was an impromptu performance, he must be a little nervous, and he can't control his emotions well, so his handwriting can't be good."
Cheng Zikun reluctantly accepted this explanation, but he still had doubts in his heart.
However, another judge, cursive calligrapher Mo Qi, also thought that the calligraphy was not satisfactory.
But for Su Xuezhen's sake, he didn't say anything. He wouldn't gain anything by saying anything, but he wouldn't lose anything by not saying anything.
This is why Su Yi told Liu Lan before that it was impossible for the five judges to favor the same exhibitor at the same time. Su scholar won over Wang Qinghai, who is also from the northwest, but he couldn't deal with the other three.
Running script calligrapher Chen Jianqiu looked at Su Xuezhen who was standing far away, and Wang Qinghai who was speaking only for Su Maolin, and he had an idea in his mind, as he had already noticed something was wrong.
In the question-and-answer session just now, he had prepared a few questions for Su Maolin, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the conversation was interrupted by Wang Qinghai, which made him very unhappy and bored.
Now, after reading this "tattered" article, he finally understood that Su Xuezhen was paving the way for his son.
The "Broken Kiln Fu" was probably written by Su Xuezhen himself!
Chen Jianqiu, a straightforward person, couldn't stand this kind of behavior, but it was not easy for him to break up with Su Xuezhen on the spot because Su Xuezhen's status was higher than his now!
He was not sure how many people were lured by Su Xuezhen in this calligraphy exhibition, and Cheng Zikun seemed to be kept in the dark as well. However, Mo Qi did not say anything. What if he also stood on Su Xuezhen's side? If he spoke rashly, it would be two against three. No, if Cheng Zikun did not care about it, then it would be one against three, and he would not get any benefit and might even be isolated.
Otherwise, why does the saying go that where there are people, there are disputes? The five judges who formed a temporary team also had a lot on their mind.
Chen Jianqiu thought about it and decided to continue observing Cheng Zikun and Mo Qi's reactions before taking action accordingly.
The five people then looked at Liu Man's work.
Su Xuezhen was the first to walk up to Liu Lan. He didn't look at her work, but stared at her. His eyes made Liu Lan very uncomfortable. Su Xuezhen felt uncomfortable too.
Thirty years ago, Su Yi gave the opportunity to participate in the exhibition to Fang Huaiyuan on the grounds that he was too young to start his career. As a result, thirty years later, he allowed a girl who was younger than him to participate in the exhibition.
