Chapter 809: This... was actually written by a woman?!
Ling Qingran curled her red lips in disdain, her eyes filled with sarcasm.
She is very confident in her own level and feels that she is so awesome that she might even be proud of the entire calligraphy world.
Ruan Su didn't pay her any attention. This woman was simply sick, like a lunatic. Her mind was empty and she wanted to pretend to be a big-eyed fish.
In Ruan Su's eyes, this woman was not worthy of being her opponent at all, she was just a scumbag.
The competition started soon. The theme of the competition was two ancient poems, and the two poems required by the organizer must also be written.
After all, only by writing the same words can we compare whether they are good or bad.
Ruan Su glanced at the two ancient poems.
One is "Cao Fu De Gu Yuan Cao Farewell" by the great ancient poet Bai Juyi, and the other is "I will enter the wine, you will not see me" by Li Bai.
The first song only has four sentences, which is very easy to write.
The second piece is not easy. It has a lot of words and some rare words. If you accidentally write a wrong word, you may not be able to maintain your own level of writing and your performance will be abnormal.
However, these problems are not problems at all for Ruan Su.
She picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and started writing the first poem first.
She could write this kind of ancient poem, which she had memorized since she was a child, without any comparison.
She wrote very quickly, and she wrote the first poem in a short time. She used official script.
It only took a few minutes. After she finished writing, she looked at this one and started writing another poem.
Li Bai's poem "I'm about to drink wine, but you don't see me" is majestic. The whole poem is full of pride and joy, and has outstanding artistic achievements. It expresses the sigh of not being able to appreciate talents, and also holds an optimistic and understanding mood.
When writing, Ruan Su changed to running script. Running script is the most frequently used calligraphy style in contemporary times, between cursive script and regular script.
There are countless people who practice running script, but there are only a few who truly understand it.
Ruan Su wrote very seriously and did not look around at all.
Ling Qingran, who was next to her, felt bad, especially when she inadvertently looked up and saw that Ruan Su had already written the first poem, she was shocked.
My heart skipped a beat, why did Ruan Su write so fast?
She craned her neck and took a look, feeling a little confused. Ruan Su actually wrote in official script?
Is there any mistake?
Official script is the easiest font to write in, but it is also the most difficult to write well.
It is not easy to write official script calligraphy well.
And what she practices is regular script, and what she writes is also regular script.
She looked down at the regular script she had written again, and an inexplicable sense of anxiety and crisis suddenly arose in her heart. I panicked and wrote a typo.
She was so upset that she threw away the paper in her hand, got a new piece of paper, and started writing something new.
But no matter what she wrote, she couldn't write anything right. She wrote several pieces in a row but all were scrapped, and none of them satisfied her.
However, seeing that Ruan Su beside her was about to finish writing the second poem, she had no choice but to be patient and continue writing the first poem.
The most important thing in calligraphy is peace of mind. If the state of mind is as stable as a mountain, half the battle is basically won.
She studied calligraphy since she was a child and was taught to be calm.
But with Ruan Su beside her, she couldn't calm down at all.
After doing several deep draws in a row, Ling Qingran concentrated on writing.
Time passed bit by bit, and several contestants submitted their own works.
Ruan Su also put down the brush in his hand, and then blew the ink on the paper. He felt that there was no problem, so he handed in his work.
Ling Qingran became even more impatient when she saw Ruan Su leaving her seat.
But she had just finished writing the first poem, and there was still a long second poem waiting for her.
It's useless for her to be anxious.
Fortunately, the remaining time should be enough.
Wait until the host takes the microphone and says, "Time is up, please all contestants hand in their works."
Ling Qingran put down the pen in her hand and just finished writing the last word.
Some contestants have not even finished writing, while others have finished writing in a hurry while looking at the time, and their writing is not satisfactory.
On the other hand, the contestants who submitted their works in advance looked calm and did not feel irritable, depressed or regretful like them.
The host quickly sent all the entries to the judges' table, where there were about six judges sitting.
Dai Shou and several other highly respected figures in the calligraphy and painting circles began to comment on these works, saying, "This is pretty good."
"Oh, this is good too."
"Hey? Whose work is this? It's actually written in official script. This one is in running script."
"These... both works are very, very good!"
The staff will record the scores of the works that have been evaluated and scored by the judges, and then hang them up and display them for everyone on site to watch and appreciate.
There are some with high scores and some with low scores, but generally the scores are around 8 points, and there are very few scores above 9 points.
Ling Qingran sat
Mrs. Ling Er's side was no longer as high-spirited and confident as she had been at the beginning.
Mrs. Ling Er was also a little worried and whispered, "Qingran, how about this time? Why did you wait until the end? Is it because you didn't write well?"
Ling Qingran's face was a bit ugly, and she pretended to be calm, "How could I not write well? I just wrote very carefully. People like Ruan Su who finished writing early probably didn't write carefully. I guess she
I don’t know calligraphy.”
However, as soon as she finished speaking, there was an uproar among the crowd.
"This score is so high!"
"The score is actually 98 points!"
"Did Ling Qingran write this?"
"Look who's signing it!"
Ling Qingran's heart tightened, and a hint of joy appeared on her face, "Mom, look, I got 98 points!"
"I'll go take a look." Mrs. Ling Er's face also showed a happy and proud look, "My daughter must be the best."
The full score is only ten points, which is 98 points. This score is really high enough.
Mrs. Ling Er walked towards the work exhibition area. There were many people around the work exhibition area, and everyone was commenting on the works in today's competition.
Mrs. Ling Er pushed through the crowd and moved to the front. Her eyes fell directly on the highest-scoring work, which was a work of official script.
But... Qingran doesn't know how to write official script at all!
Mrs. Ling Er's heart skipped a beat when she saw the signature Ruan Su!
Her eyesight went dark and she almost fainted. It turned out to be Ruan Su's?
Damn it! Even people who don’t know calligraphy will find this work very beautiful after seeing it. Every word is exquisite and beautiful, and it feels pleasing to the eye.
She looked at this work with a stiff face, unable to regain her composure for a long time.
"Oh, isn't this Ling Qingran's work? Why is it only six points?"
"Last year she ranked first. Is this because calligraphy has been abandoned?"
Someone was discussing in a low voice. Mrs. Ling Er looked over with a stiff face and saw the familiar font of Ling Qingran, "草" in italics!
The writing is just average, really average...compared with Ruan Su's, it's simply ugly.
Mrs. Ling Er had mixed feelings in her heart. Why? Her daughter performed so poorly? Could it be that Ruan Su did something to Ling Qingran during the competition?
This idea just came to her mind. She didn't have any evidence at all, but she decided that it must be Ruan Su who caused Ling Qingran to behave abnormally.
She angrily walked towards Ruan Su, raising her hand to slap Ruan Su, but the next second her arm was slapped A strong big palm grabbed hard.
"What are you doing?" The man's cold voice sounded. Mrs. Ling Er looked up in shock and saw a face that was so beautiful that it was impossible to look directly at it.
When Bo Xingzhi let go of his hand, Mrs. Ling Er took a few steps back unexpectedly. She screamed, "He was beaten! The president's son was beaten! He was still protecting Ruan Su! My daughter's score is low, it must be...
Ruan Su is up to something!"
She seems like a shrew, without any grace or temperament as the wife of the Ling family.
Ruan Su was also startled by the sudden appearance of Bo Xingzhi. She was just about to take action when she saw Bo Xingzhi coming out of nowhere and blocking her.
The man's broad back was like a towering mountain, giving her the ultimate sense of security.
Shang Lingxiao, who had been staying by Ruan Su's side, turned dark, but he soon regained his composure.
He glanced at the mischievous Mrs. Ling Er and said with annoyance in his voice, "Mrs. Ling Er, please understand that the scene is under surveillance. Ruan Su didn't do anything. Don't slander others casually."
What was Bo Xingzhi doing here now? He stole the spotlight before him and won Ruan Su's favor.
Shang Lingxiao felt a little angry.
But he didn't show it.
Instead, he smiled at Bo Xingzhi and said hello, "Bo Shao, you are such a busy man, why do you come here suddenly?"
"Xiao Su is here to participate in the cultural fair. I heard that there will be a competition, so I naturally want to come and accompany you." Bo Xingzhi's dark gaze fell on Shang Lingxiaojun's face for a moment and then looked away, "Thank you, Mr. Shang, although I know that you, the eldest brother, are accompanying me.
Xiao Su is safe, but... I still want to accompany her personally."
He hurriedly dealt with the matter at hand and rushed over, in order not to give Shang Lingxiao any chance.
The conflict between them attracted a lot of people, but what everyone was more concerned about was the other work of Ruan Su and Ling Qingran, who had a higher score.
The expression on Dai Shou's face at the judges' table was very ugly. He was very angry at his beloved disciple's abnormal performance.
Especially after knowing that such an outstanding Ruan Su was actually the land of Mr. Wen, he became even more aggrieved.
But there are six judges, so he can't open his eyes and tell lies. After all, everyone can see that Ruan Su's work is really excellent and perfect!
Especially the running script used in her second work Li Bai's "About Wine", the flowing clouds and flowing water are incredible! The pen and ink are freely swayed, and the picture is so beautiful!
In particular, the poem itself is grand and bold, and coupled with Ruan Su's running script, it is even more powerful. The two complement each other.
It’s almost hard to believe that such majestic running script was written by a woman!
