Chapter 418 Art Exhibition

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the gates of Qingxi Academy were wide open, and the janitors set up two tables at the gate to collect money and sell flowers.

The flower is a very common red paper flower with the badge of Qingxi Academy stamped on it. It is unique. It costs five cents per flower, and each person can only get one flower.

After taking the flowers, you can enter Qingxi Academy to enjoy the paintings, and you can vote the flowers for one of your favorite paintings.

In the first month, everyone is very free, except for eating and drinking. Now there is such a fun thing, not to mention the students of Qingxi Academy, even the students of Songshan Academy come to join in the fun, and spend five cents to go in and admire Qingxi girls. Academy of painting.

However, Qingxi Academy is very difficult to enter. Students from other academies rarely have this opportunity, and they also came to watch.

They couldn't get into Qingxi Academy. Usually, Qingxi Academy has strict management, so it is difficult to go in. Now that there is a fair reason, everyone will naturally not miss it.

And ordinary people are even worse, they can enter one of the best academies in Dachu for just five renminbi, and they are willing to see even if there is no art exhibition.

Therefore, there were a lot of people who came this day, half of them came for the art exhibition, and half of them came for Qingxi Academy.

The art exhibition is all arranged in the women's courtyard. The white snow on the ground was swept under the plum tree. From a distance, the white snow reflects the red plums. In addition, the sun is sunny today, and it shines warmly on people's bodies. It reflects the cold snow and red plums. taste.

The wooden wall is arranged on the side of the road, and a selection of paintings are hung on the wooden wall, which is more meticulous in the sun.

The people who originally came to Qingxi Academy couldn't help but be attracted by these paintings, and went to watch them one after another.

A table was set up every fifty steps by the wooden wall, guarded by two female students, with some tea, pens, ink, paper and inkstones placed on it. They were responsible for answering questions for tourists, protecting paintings, and monitoring the voting situation.

If tourists leave comments or pens and inks, they should also take them away. After the comments, they should be left to the author of the painting being commented on, and the pens and inks will be handled by the academy.

Walking down the wooden wall, there is a long corridor, one side of the corridor is also covered with paintings, and after entering the corridor, two female students in school uniforms with moon-white landscape splashing ink salute and step aside Let visitors in.

After passing the corridor, there is an open lawn with classrooms in front. At this time, a space is separated by winding wooden walls on the lawn. Paintings are hung on both sides of the wooden walls, and it is almost lost to walk inside the wooden walls.

Zheng Xu walked in along the wooden wall, and after walking forty steps, there was a fork in the road. He looked at the fork in the road, and almost collided with the oncoming person.

Just as Zheng Xu was about to apologize, he heard a chuckle that was so familiar that he wanted to punch someone.

Shi Wei shook his fan and smiled, "I didn't expect to see Brother Zheng here. When did Brother Zheng become so interested in painting?"

Zheng Xu rolled his eyes at him, and looked at Zhao Ning who was beside him, "When I came here, I saw that there were only female students serving along the way, why couldn't Brother Zhao wait to help?"

Zhao Ning said with a smile: "The junior girls are trying their best to make some achievements, how dare we take credit? Brother Zheng, how do you feel along the way?"

Zheng Xu sighed, "Although there are some shortcomings, it is already very good. I heard that this event was organized by the Women's Court?"

The little girl behind Zheng Xu pouted, "Where is there any shortcoming? I think it is better than the poetry meeting held by your academy before." She stared at Zheng Xu aggrievedly and said, "It's all you, or else I would have come to pass the exam at the beginning. Xi Girls’ Courtyard, and my paintings are also very good.”

Zheng Xu: "...Yaoyao!" My good sister, don't forget that you are now a member of Songshan Academy, is it really okay to be like this in front of your opponent?

Zheng Yao had just entered Songshan Academy for a semester, and Songshan Academy's men's college was particularly harsh on the women's college. She didn't have much sense of belonging to Songshan Academy. With a proud face guiding the tourists, she exudes a confidence she has never seen before, and she is naturally envious.

I don't know if she can be transferred.

Zheng Yao was thinking in her heart, but Shi Wei had already closed her fan with a "swish", and invited her happily, "Miss Zheng also thinks our Qingxi Academy is good? Then why don't you transfer here? To be honest, this art exhibition will be Brother Zhao's wife presided over it. As far as I know, there will be more and more activities like this in the future, and the head of our academy is also very supportive. I think Miss Zheng is a person of many talents. If you can come to our academy ..."

Zheng Xu was so angry that he covered his mouth and said angrily: "Dug the wall and come to me, Shi Wei, don't go too far."

Shi Wei patted his hand with a fan, "It's because your academy is not good enough to keep students, so can you blame our academy for being too good?"

Zheng Xu snatched his fan, and slammed it towards his head, "Is it because our academy is not good, or are you eloquent? Don't pretend, it's cold, and the snow hasn't melted yet, so you can take it." Pretending to be with a fan, why don't you just lie down in the snow?"

Zhao Ning clapped his hands, "Brother Zheng's other words are wrong, but I agree with this sentence the most. If I didn't have the heart, I would have buried him in the snow long ago. It's fine for him to put on a fan. All ran to my side."

Even Zheng Xu, who was busy with you, couldn't help laughing at this moment.

Shi Wei escaped from Zheng Xu's claws, glared at Zhao Ning and said, "Which side are you on, to see me being bullied?"

Zhao Ning shook his head with his hands behind his back and said, "I'll help with the management but not with the relatives."

"What are you doing?" Zhu Fanghua ran over, pinching her waist angrily, and said, "Who allowed you to play around here? What if you damage the painting? You have to play outside."

Wan Tinghe, who was partnering with Zhu Fanghua, also ran over, and couldn't help but blush slightly when he saw the three young men here, but he still stared at them and said, "Didn't you read the art exhibition rules posted at the entrance of the academy? You can't fight around the paintings." , so as not to damage the painting, you have to play outside."

Zheng Xu, Shi Wei and Zhao Ning hurriedly bowed their hands to apologize, and wanted to leave, but they turned three lanes in a row and didn't go out.

Zheng Xu: "...Your Qingxi Academy has done a great job, how many wooden walls did you make?"

Even Shi Wei found it incredible that they got lost in the road surrounded by wooden walls!

Zhao Ning couldn't help but think of the formations in Lingtianmen, he: "..."

Zhao Ning coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry, it shouldn't be a difficult formation. We should pay attention to the paintings on the two wooden walls and we should be able to find the exit."

Zheng Xu and Shi Wei were taken aback, "A formation? This wooden wall uses a formation?"

They thought it was just because there were too many divisions and the two sides were too similar, so they lost their way. Was it because of the formation?

"It should be a formation," Zhao Ning said hesitantly, "I saw it in the corridor before I came in. Although the wooden wall is very large, it is actually only on the lawn. It is not enough to save space. There may be a lot of positions, and we will get lost naturally because of the formation."

The most important thing is that his mistress is in charge of this activity, but he knows that the garden in Gu's mansion has also used formations. There is nothing unusual about going to battle.

Zheng Yao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and her fists were slightly clenched. If she wants to come to Qingxi Academy, she must come!

...

Li Baolu changed into casual clothes, and asked Gu Jingyun to change into cotton clothes. The two of them secretly held hands and went to the art exhibition with the cover of their wide sleeves.

Although they are all drawn by girls in their teens, there are also some good paintings among them. The people who come here know how to appreciate them. When one person finds a good painting, many people follow to watch after calling for friends.

Li Baolu was still short, so she stood on tiptoe and looked at it for a while and found that she couldn't see it, so she dropped the painting, turned around and dragged Gu Jingyun to look at other paintings excitedly.

Gu Jingyun followed her, making comments from time to time, and the two of them strolled slowly to the end. There was only a two-meter-wide wooden wall in front of it, which was placed under a crabapple tree. Because there were few paintings, it was the end again. Therefore, there are few people.

However, the two were leisurely and not in a hurry, so they walked to the wooden wall hand in hand...

"Huh?" Li Baolu reached out curiously to look at the sign hanging on it, "Xu Sanniang, Peony Class, Grade Five."

She looked up at the painting seriously, frowned and said, "It's a good painting, but it makes me sad to look at it."

This is a picture of cold plum blossoms in a mountain temple. The red plums in the picture are blooming like blood. A woman in black clothes is looking at the outside world through a half-open window. There seems to be fire in her eyes, trying to see through the What do you see in the clusters of red plums?

She was dressed like a monk, but she had black hair. Li Baolu reached out to touch her eyes, but when she touched the painting, she thought that it would stain the painting, so she quickly stopped.

Gu Jingyun stood beside her quietly with his hands behind his back, seeing her frowning, he said in silence, "She doesn't want to be bound in the temple, maybe she doesn't want to be restricted by the rules of the world, a female student who can go to the fifth grade must not be too young , I will prepare to get married after graduation.”

"Her painting is good, why is it put here?"

The location of the exhibition is also particular. Although Li Baolu is only responsible for leading people to build the venue, and the task of hanging the paintings is the responsibility of the painting teacher, but such paintings with outstanding painting skills should be placed at the front.

Gu Jingyun said indifferently: "She wanted to resist but didn't have the guts to take that step, so naturally she didn't dare to put this painting in front. This should be the author's own request."

"Since she doesn't even have the guts to take that step, why bother?" Gu Jingyun didn't have that much kindness, he took her hand and turned around to leave, "Let's go, let's go and see somewhere else."

Li Baolu only looked back at the painting for the last time before leaving. As Gu Jingyun said, the person in the painting didn't even have the courage to open the window, so why should she be sad and worried about it?

It's just that my mood has been affected a bit, and I can't help but think about what kind of predicament the little girl who painted this picture is facing.

Seeing that she was depressed, Gu Jingyun turned the corner calmly and led her to the largest exhibition area.

There were a lot of people gathered there at this time, and everyone was arguing about which painting was better, and they were so excited that they almost fought.

Li Baolu followed the sound and saw several teenagers confronting each other red-faced. Her sad thoughts immediately dissipated. She looked at them curiously with a pair of bright eyes, and then went to look at the two paintings next to each other on the wall. .

No wonder they quarreled over the two paintings, because not only did the two paintings share a picture of a hundred birds facing a phoenix, but they were also meticulous paintings. The wonderful thing is that the artistic conceptions are completely different.

Seeing that the two gangs of teenagers were about to fight, Gu Jingyun turned his head and asked Li Baolu who was enjoying watching, "Why don't you stop me?"

"No, there are volunteers. I am a tourist today."
