After Xining finished eating slowly, she was drinking lotus leaf and lotus heart tea, and news began to come one after another.

It was said that Miss Qian San’s piano played several wrong notes, and then he said which guy from the family played the piano and broke the strings.

When playing the piano, there is no distinction between men and women, only one is selected. When the piano ranking comes out, it is actually Zhang Liao.

Looking at the name on the bamboo slips, Xining raised her eyebrows: "This guy seems to have some skills."

Qin'er looked intoxicated: "Young Master Zhang plays very well, comparable to Zhong Yi and Shi Kuang. A song of high mountain flowing water skills suppresses everyone, and it is simply Boya's rebirth."

Xining rolled her eyes and shook the slap: "Then give him the pre-prepared lottery."

Caitou was a guqin. At that time, he mainly learned the guqin. Zhang chose the worst guqin in the warehouse for her, but the master's meticulous work was made by a master's mastery and worth thousands of silver.

As a result, after studying for a few days, I felt annoyed and stopped practicing. I put it next to it as a decoration that was accumulated in dust, and it was not sold in the store, so I just gave it to it.

No, someone came back to report it. Zhang Liao was very happy after receiving the piano and played another song in public to express his gratitude.

Next is poetry, calligraphy and painting. You can only write poetry or paint. If you can draw poems and be outstanding, then you will be considered the first.

Mr. Xiao sent someone to ask for instructions on what topic to compare. Xining said directly: "The lotus root banquet will naturally be based on this banquet or lotus root as the topic, and they will play their own way."

Anyway, it's just to sell the goods and cooperate.

This poetry, calligraphy and painting are divided into men and women. After all, women are not as likely to read as men, and this is the world. Unfortunately, the owner does not cherish the opportunity to study, which makes him feel like a sensation. But she is really a playboy.

Only then did he save his life.

Half an hour later, Xining was about to fall asleep and the score was out.

This time, the guests voted by themselves. Each person has three votes. They are not allowed to vote for one person. They must vote for three people, and they are ranked according to the votes.

This time, Zhang Liao was the first in poetry and books. Fortunately, he was not the first in painting, but Zhong Shuo, who studied under the Confucian scholar Huang Bian, otherwise he would not want to present the award.

The maid who came to report said: "Mr. Zhong wrote a poem in his painting. The poem was the same as Mr. Zhang's vote. Everyone said that he would ask the county lord to decide."

The painting is spread out and the remains of the lotus in the pond is drawn, and the inscription is "The autumn has not arrived, the lotus leaves are broken; the stems are straight, and the lotus roots are buried deep..."

The pitiful lotus leaves on the painting are a vivid portrayal of the current pond. On the largest lotus leaves, there is a drop of water painted, as if this water drop can roll down at any time and fall into a game of fish.

In the water.

The word mentioned also implies that even in a difficult time, even if it is broken, don’t forget the root of being a human being. The stem represents the backbone of a human being, and the lotus root represents the foundation. It should be buried deep in the mud of your own country.

Regardless of whether this poem means this, the artistic conception is profound. The painting is excellent and the writing is elegant and elegant. It is a masterpiece!

Let’s look at what Zhang Liao wrote, “Song of the Great Wind”: The wind blows and the clouds fly, and the power is spreading to the country and returning to my hometown. How can I get a strong man to guard all directions!

It is a poem by Emperor Gaozu, and the characters are well written, with cursive style and magnificent style.

Xining's mouth was raised, and she had no new ideas. But this was a poem by Emperor Gaozu, and no one dared to say it was bad. There was no problem with the words, and the writing was indeed good.

After thinking about it, Xining said, "Mr. Zhong's calligraphy and painting have profound meanings, so he should do his duty as a minister. Mr. Zhang's calligraphy describes the spirit and soul of Emperor Gaozu. I think it should be ranked first. Go to the warehouse and look for it again.

A similar calligraphy and painting will be sent together.”

Choosing Zhang Liao as the first one is against your will. Choosing Zhong Shuo's paintings will cause trouble. Isn't it just that there is an extra pair of calligraphy and paintings? Anyway, it's not sold in the store.

After looking at the calligraphy and paintings of the two and three people in the next, I felt that they were far from Zhong Shuo's paintings. There was no way. It was not easy to have such outstanding ones in a small county located on the border. If it was changed to a martial arts competition, the people who might have come out may have compared them.

Many people have learned literature.

Two or three people also receive rewards, and two or three people give small or slightly lower calligraphy and paintings.

Let’s look at the female family’s name. The first one is County Magistrate Zhou’s second lady, the second one is County Magistrate Zhou’s third lady, and the third one is Miss Jia Er.

The characters are average, and the paintings are even more common.

Xining frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "Go and bring Miss Wang's calligraphy and paintings."

"I have already brought it up, I know the county lord must see it." Jing'er, who went to do it in person, smiled and took out a pair of calligraphy and paintings.

Xining looked at the calligraphy and paintings unfolded, and smiled and said, "You are so weird."

I don’t know how Miss Wang plays the piano, but calligraphy and painting are much better than the top three. They draw not only ink, but color ink. You should know that the use of color ink is much more difficult than light black and white ink.

.If the color is too bright and too simple, it will affect the overall effect.

The pink lotus and green lotus leaves are painted very vividly. Although the poem mentioned is not as good as Zhong Shuo's, the characters are neat and graceful.

Such paintings were not selected, and even if you pinch your nose, you know that they were excluded.

Miss Wang doesn't have a father who is the county magistrate, but her family's money is not as good as the Qian family and the Jia family. She is beautiful and easy-going. Even if she works hard to show goodwill on weekdays, she is rich.

The background is not as good as other ladies.

Xining thought about it and gave instructing him. Jing'er nodded and said with a smile: "I know the county lord is kind-hearted, I know."

The female guest's calligraphy and paintings were given away all jewelry. Miss Tuesday got the first place to get a gold collar with a golden lock, Ms. Wednesday got a red gold bracelet, and Ms. Jia Er got a golden shaking.

Looking at Miss Wang, who was slightly lowered her head and making a sound, Miss Jia Er deliberately inserted Jin Buyao directly into her head.

Miss Qian San, who was really a terrible painting and couldn't write, did not win the prize, but she felt relieved when she looked at it: "What a pity. I thought Miss Wang could win, but the result was... great."

Miss Wang's teeth were clenched on her lips, silent, and her eyes turned red again.

Jing'er whispered to Butler Xiao. After hearing this, Butler Xiao nodded: "Another special award is awarded here."

Special award?

Everyone's interest came to an end, it was a bit surprising.

Butler Xiao said with a smile: "The paintings of some people today make the county lord very satisfied. This person is good at color ink, which reminds the county lord of the deceased Qinling Prince. The prince was also good at color ink during his lifetime. When he saw him today, he seemed to be again

I saw my brother painting. The county lord specially praised Miss Wang and a handle of gold Ruyi to show his gratitude."

Miss Wang was stunned and stared blankly at a lacquer plate with a golden Ruyi in it, and brought it to her.

Butler Xiao signaled: "Miss Wang, please pick it up!"

Miss Wang took the heavy Jin Ruyi and cried with joy. After tears fell, she held back the tears behind her and bowed politely: "Thank you, the county lord."
