Chapter 281 Proving Your Innocence
Cheng Zikun is an introverted and pragmatic calligrapher. He can bluntly give the evaluation that "Liu Lan is the best". Her works must be very outstanding. Chen Jianqiu and Mo Qi could not sit still and hurried over to take a look.
The three judges gathered around the table and studied it carefully for a long time. Their attitude was even more intense than when Su Yi and his doctoral students looked at the enlarged version of the seal script.
Even the taciturn Mo Qi exclaimed, "I haven't seen such excellent small seal script works for a long time."
Chen Jianqiu wanted to take back his previous thought that Liu Lan would definitely be eliminated in the free round. If she competed with the remaining 59 people at this level, Liu Lan would most likely win in the end.
No wonder Mr. Su Yi, who had not accepted any disciples for ten years, took a fancy to this little girl and accepted her as his last disciple. Her talent is just amazing.
What Chen Jianqiu couldn't understand was why Mr. Su Yi allowed Liu Lan to use regular script in the exhibition.
He was too straightforward, asking whatever came to his mind. He actually walked up to Su Yi and Ouyang Cen and asked Su Yi, "Mr. Su, why don't you let your disciples participate in the exhibition with seal script?"
Su Yi was also quite straightforward, saying, "I didn't teach her seal script! I taught her regular script and official script. Of course, I hope she uses regular script and official script in the exhibition, so that I can be proud!"
Ouyang Cen on the side: "..."
...
...
Chen Jianqiu thought it made sense.
He turned around and saw Cheng Zikun still immersed in Liu Lan's work, Mo Qi even took out his reading glasses... and Wu Qu stood one step away, looking lonely and a little envious.
Chen Jianqiu's heart tightened, and he felt very sympathetic towards Wu Qu. He made up his mind and said to Ouyang Cen, "President Ouyang, I think Su Maolin's exhibition work "Po Yao Fu" was written by Su Xuezhen!"
Hearing this, Ouyang Cen's expression immediately became serious, "Do you have any basis for this?"
"Su Maolin's Yunyang Ding has clumsy and amateurish characters, which is completely different from the Broken Kiln Fu. Moreover, the characters in Broken Kiln Fu are square outside and round inside, which is Su Xuezhen's signature writing style. He must have deliberately suppressed his strength, but what he wrote still has a very obvious personal style. Not only me, Cheng Zikun also has the same idea. We all think that Su Maolin is not qualified to pass the face-to-face review at all."
"Then why did you all agree to let Su Maolin advance with the second place?" Su Yi's words are always so sharp.
Chen Jianqiu looked embarrassed and said to the two elders, "Cheng Zikun advised me to keep things quiet, but now that Wu Qu has made such a fuss, I think he is justified, so I will just report it to you."
And only Ouyang Cen could preside over this justice on the scene.
Su Yi said to Ouyang Cen, "Look, Su Xuezhen is a dog that never changes its nature. Thirty years ago, he replaced Huaiyuan's work with his own work. Thirty years later, he used the same trick and used his own work to cheat for his son. He really treasures his own work."
Chen Jianqiu was shocked when he heard this. "Mr. Su Yi, please forgive me for being so presumptuous, but could it be that what Wu Qu said is true, and you really have a relationship with Su Xuezhen?"
Su Yi didn't want to mention his master-disciple relationship with Su Xuezhen. He would get angry if he mentioned it. Ouyang Cen said, "You young people don't know about this past. Su Xuezhen used to be Lao Su's apprentice, but Lao Su expelled him from his school thirty years ago and they no longer have any contact."
Chen Jianqiu was three years younger than Su Xuezhen, and he really didn't know anything at that time. Thirty years ago, unlike today, there was the Internet, and anything could be posted online for gossip. If the same thing happened now, Fang Huaiyuan could just post a message online and discredit Su Xuezhen in a matter of minutes.
Chen Jianqiu thought, no wonder he always felt that there was a sense of familiarity in Su Xuezhen's calligraphy, it turned out that it was similar to Mr. Su Yi's regular script writing.
Ouyang Cen pondered for a moment and said, "We must not encourage this kind of evil trend. We must not let people like Su Xuezhen disrupt the order of the exhibition and ruin the reputation of our association!"
Ouyang Cen said as he stood up and walked towards the judges' table. The old man looked like a sage, and his walking posture did not show any signs of old age. His flowing long hair and robe made people's eyes follow him involuntarily.
