Now I know that the first place is Zhao Ruxi. Everyone doesn't show it on their faces, but they have their own thoughts in their hearts.

Miss Zhao Wu is naturally talented, otherwise she would not be able to catch Mr. Kumu's eye. But I heard that her painting method is completely different from the current painting method in the Jin Dynasty. She uses charcoal to draw portraits.

Her painting method is completely incomparable with Mr. Kumu's painting method. If she wants to learn painting from her master, she has to start from the most basic level.

If she won the first place by drawing portraits with charcoal, everyone would naturally be unconvinced. The system of painting methods is completely different, how can we say that her paintings are necessarily better than others?

But if she were to compete using the painting techniques she learned from Mr. Kumu... She had only been studying painting with Mr. Kumu for half a year, right? After half a year of studying, she would be better than everyone else and win first place?

The second place young man named Zhang is named Zhang Xiuyan, and he studied under the famous master of flower and bird painting Mei Zhongjun.

When Zhao Ruxi started a sketching training class, Kang Shilin found students for her, who were willing to learn and had good character. Mei Zhongjun didn't even ask.

Because Mei Zhongjun's name sounds like a noble gentleman, but his character is not very good.

Although Gong Cheng studied under Kang Shilin, he later developed his own style and went his own way. He is most famous for flowers, birds, insects and fish, which is the same as Mei Zhongjun's painting expertise.

In order to suppress Gong Cheng in these years, Mei Zhongjun did not try his best to improve his painting skills, but secretly used all kinds of despicable means. Among the people who came to Kang Shilin's door to scold him directly, Mei Zhongjun was in place.

Top the list.

As the saying goes, if you don't belong to the same family, you don't belong to the same family. Zhang Xiuyan is willing to accept Mei Zhongjun as his teacher, so his character is naturally similar to that of his master.

His painting level is quite good among the younger generation. He has always been praised at painting exchange meetings. He is very proud and does not like others. Once someone else is praised and has a tendency to surpass him, he will follow him.

Like his master, he uses various means to suppress others.

This time in the preliminary round, the first place in the semi-finals was Zhao Ruxi. When he heard the news, Zhang Xiuyan was furious.

The friend who originally delivered the news to him was under the instigation of Xiao Yuyue and had bad intentions. After seeing this, he made some provocations and told him that four of the five judges had a close relationship with Zhao Ruxi. Zhang Xiuyan felt that it was inevitable.

It was Kang Shilin who tampered with the ranking in order to favor his apprentice.

When he didn't have a handle, he still wanted to create a handle and become a bad guy; now he thought he had a handle, and he made up his mind to pull Zhao Ruxi from the number one position, and also bring bad luck to Kang Shilin, Peng Guoan and others.

reputation.

Seeing everyone's expressions were different at this moment, Zhang Xiuyan said in a very low voice: "Everyone should know that Mr. Kumu is the judge. I heard that Mr. Zhou Wenbai and Mr. Fang Jingye both belong to the Northern Painting School and once followed

Miss Zhiwei has learned how to draw portraits with charcoal."

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's face, he added: "I heard that Master Peng, who was offering wine at the Imperial Academy, is also the judge of the painting competition this time. Miss Zhiwei's sister is married to Master Peng's second son."

The amount of information is a bit large, and everyone’s expressions are a bit dull.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuyan spread his hands in a pretentious manner: "Of course, I believe that with the reputation of Mr. Kumu and Peng Jijiu, the judgment should be fair and just. Maybe Miss Zhiwei's charcoal figures are particularly good, better than ours."

They are all outstanding. In this case, it is not surprising that she won the first place."

The person in fourth place is named Zhong Lei. He is an outspoken person and has no reputation.

Hearing this, he sneered and said: "Brother Lin is also good at drawing figures. Even if Miss Zhiwei's charcoal figures are good, it can only be said that they have their own merits. We cannot say that hers is better than Brother Lin's? This

Judgment, I’m afraid it’s unfair.”

"Brother Zhong, you can't say this. If someone hears it and it reaches the ears of Mr. Kumu and others, I'm afraid it won't be good." Lin Yunshen, who came in third place, quickly dissuaded him.

Zhong Lei wanted to say something more, but he heard the people in the twelfth place who were watching them shout: "That man is here."

Everyone followed his line of sight and saw a beautiful woman in a red dress walking over. After asking the Imperial College student who was maintaining order about her position, she sat in the first seat on the far right.

This woman has a bright and majestic appearance, an elegant temperament, a confident and calm demeanor, and is elegant and generous. People can tell at a glance that she comes from a good background and has an excellent upbringing. They can't help but feel good about her.

The four boys who were chatting in private, faced such a woman, immediately straightened their bodies, sat upright, and their expressions became serious, completely different from the two people who had just been whispering.

Zhang Xiuyan was the closest to Zhao Ruxi. He raised his hand towards Zhao Ruxi in an elegant manner and said loudly: "Is this Miss Zhiwei? I am Zhang Xiuyan, who studied under Mr. Mei Zhongjun. I have admired Miss Zhiwei for a long time, and now that I have met her, she is indeed well-deserved.

"

Lin Yunshen also introduced himself and said "long admired".

Among the contestants present, there were very few women, and only two of the thirty were women.

In addition to Zhao Ruxi, there is another woman in her twenties. She is a woman. She is located in the lower left corner of the competition venue. It can be seen that her ranking in the semi-finals was lower among the thirty people. In addition, her appearance is not obvious and she is dressed in a uniform.

Wearing a blue dress, the color of which was similar to the clothes of the male contestants around her, she was very inconspicuous in the crowd.

On the other hand, Zhao Ruxi felt that most of the people who came to participate in the competition were young men, including many unmarried young talents. If someone took a fancy to her daughter and came to propose marriage, there might be a suitable marriage partner, and she would not have to worry about her daughter's marriage.

Therefore, Zhao Ruxi was forced to wear red clothes to participate in the competition today, hoping that her daughter would appear in front of everyone in the most beautiful appearance.

Zhao Ruxi has bright facial features and an elegant manner. Her bright and elegant red clothes highlight her beauty even more.

Therefore, among the many cyan, gray, and white straight men's shirts, Zhao Ruxi's red dress and beauty are very conspicuous. In addition, the table where she is sitting is the first place, and she is the focus of everyone's attention. As soon as she comes,

Everyone present noticed her.

At this moment, Zhang Xiuyan and Lin Yunshen stepped forward to chat, and others also took the opportunity to step forward to pay their respects.

Don't say that Zhao Ruxi is a beautiful woman, just say that she is Mr. Kumu's apprentice and the first place in the semi-finals, so she is worthy of everyone's friendship.

Zhao Ruxi greeted everyone politely and politely.

Zhong Lei, on the other hand, was the same on the surface. He had just expressed his disdain for Zhao Ruxi in front of everyone, but now he did not come forward.
