Chapter 239: Closing
The disaster has not yet been completed, but the impact has been far-reaching. The Yangzhou government office is in chaos, and orders are issued quickly. Then personnel from all parties are dispatched to be responsible for all aftermath matters.
In this environment, the attention to the world's No. 1 talent competition has simply decreased.
Today is the most critical ending day. After the reform, the painting and poetry are combined into one furnace. According to the plan, the competition location would be transferred from the square of the academy to other places, such as some beautiful outdoors.
In this way, the romantic and pleasant environment can inspire talents and make excellent works.
However, the messy aftermath cleaning work ruined everything. Besides, the places around the temple were flooded by floods, and the smell was lingering, which ruined the scenery. Going to those places to paint and recite poems was like asking for trouble.
Therefore, the plan had to be overturned and stayed in the square. Fortunately, the weather was clear, and the curtains covered with the roof could be removed, and the blue sky and white clouds could be seen.
In fact, Yangzhou Academy has a long history and has been operated for a century. It is a garden with beautiful scenery.
After the elimination of the first two levels, there were 31 people who were qualified to participate in the final battle. The only person who did not come to the scene was Ye Junsheng, who fainted in the music unit.
The conference stipulates that those who cannot participate in the competition will automatically lose the results of the unit.
Since it was the final competition, there was plenty of time. Talents could enter the venue early in the morning. It was not a requirement to sit in the square, but to walk around and relax. Observe it in detail and make your mood brew.
To prevent cheating, thirty-one chairs and stools were spread out in the square, and the four treasures of the study were all arranged. Just wait for the talented man to start writing.
When a talented man comes in from outside, he has to go through a search.
When the morning light was faint, there were already people coming and going in the academy. At the beginning, no one entered the square, but instead brewed emotions outside first.
The reform has spread a long time ago, so in the past two days, many talented men have done their homework, selected materials, copied, and accompanied the poems...
If you are satisfied, settle the charter, write the draft over and over again, and try to be as familiar as possible.
In this way, when you come to the court, your chances of winning will increase greatly. Just draw it again, which will save time.
In fact, this is another kind of cheating.
However, literary and artistic competitions often have many uncertain factors that are far beyond the scope of the past. Especially the painting. There are too many subtle effects on the spot, and a negligence will lead to defects and lower the results.
More importantly, the competition organizing committee also has restrictions. Those who provide talented men with painting can only have a blank piece of rice paper.
In other words, each person only has one chance to try, and once he makes a mistake, the result is self-evident.
The requirements are very high and can almost be compared with the imperial examination. In the imperial examination, there must be no mistakes or dirt on the paper.
The regulations face all talented people. Therefore, everyone can accept it. This is originally a world-wide competition. Of course, the procedures are strict and loose, so how can it be authoritative?
Therefore, it was not until Chen Hou that the first talented man officially entered the venue and sat in his own position. He sat upright and did not rush to lift his pen and dip his ink immediately. He still had to adjust his mentality and spirit. He only started painting when his state was the most perfect.
With the first one, there was a second one soon. After a while, half of the seats were filled in the square; after a while, two-thirds of them entered the venue.
There are not many talented men left, including Mei Xuehai, one of the three talented men in Jiangnan.
I saw him standing in front of a clump of peach blossoms with his hands on his back.
Spring is in full bloom, and the peach blossoms are already blooming, with a bright splendor.
Mei Xuehai reached out and folded one, put it in his nose and sniffed it, and the expression of enjoyment flowed over his face.
A talented man smells peach blossoms, but he is no less than a beautiful woman's "peach blossoms on the faces of humans and red", and is graceful and graceful.
Although he attached great importance to this competition and was determined to win the championship, Mei Xuehai did not make any preparations in advance, and he disdained it.
In his opinion, the craftsman has a lot of energy and lacks spiritual energy in advance. Although he is prepared, it will in turn greatly limit the explosion of inspiration and not be enough to draw a satisfactory masterpiece.
If you make a scheming, that is a sign of lack of confidence. Will Mei Xuehai be lack of confidence?
If you can become a real opponent and pose a threat, there are only two or three people who can become a real opponent.
By the way, maybe Ye Junsheng has to be included.
In the first calligraphy unit, Ye Junsheng emerged, leaving a deep impression on Mei Xuehai. The other party had a long couplet, which was refined in literals and had a meaning and was indeed quite good.
"Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs, and everything is concerned."
It actually writes the voice of the scholars all over the world.
Therefore, Mei Xuehai put away his arrogant attitude towards this opponent who has always wanted to compete in person.
At the first level of music, Ye Junsheng performed quite personal style and his achievements were reasonable, so he was able to advance to the final battle.
Unfortunately, he was unconscious and had not woken up yet. It was already this time, and he still didn't see him.
You should know that the closing time of the final battle is midnight.
Once midnight, you must stop writing and no longer move.
The final battle was of great significance and had constraints on the audience. All the idle people were isolated outside and could not even enter the academy. The only ones sitting in the square were the major judges and the academic and political advisors of each state.
Today, even Li Yifeng and Huang Yuanqi were unable to enter the infield and could only wait for news outside.
"Junsheng hasn't come yet, it seems hopeless."
Li Yifeng smiled bitterly and said, "I just sent someone to the courtyard to inquire, but Junsheng has not yet woken up."
"Why."
The two old men sighed, never expecting that this would be the ending.
In the venue, Gu Xuezheng also frowned, but was helpless.
Another talented man in Jizhou, Guo Nanming, has sat in his seat, but like others, he is only in Yunshu and never picks up his pen.
The arrogant Jizhou talented man in the past has experienced several experiences, but his edges and corners have been smoothed out, but he has a little bit of steady breath. However, with his first two units, being able to enter the top ten is considered a victory, and the top three is basically out of reach.
He looked around and inexplicably, he felt a little lonely in his heart: Ye Junsheng did not come.
Guo Nanming was extremely resentful of this opponent who was once so angry that he vomited blood. However, after the time changed and his mood changed, he found that the other party could not participate in the final battle, and instead felt disappointed.
If he comes, what kind of painting will he draw and what kind of poetry will he accompany it?
Unfortunately, such a work is destined to be dead and cannot be born.
Guo Nanming sighed, determined, held his sleeve with his left hand and his right hand with his pen, and finally began to dip ink to paint.
It's time to calculate the time.
The plum snow sea, who admires the peach blossoms outside, is blessed with the soul, and the inspiration is like a spring. With a ravine, I can't help laughing, stepping forward, and also starts to splash ink and paint. (To be continued)
