He pointed to Zhao Ruxi's painting and said, "Everyone knows that the environment in the competition is noisy, time is tight, and people's condition is not very good. If you usually draw well, you will inevitably make mistakes and leave mistakes when you go to such a place. I can understand such a painting with eight or nine points. But if you give ten, it can only be said that you are favoritism and unfair."

"Although there were apprentices from judges participating in the competition in the past, the scores were fair at that time. They didn't give high scores because they were their apprentices, so everyone didn't say anything. But today you did too much, and Mei couldn't help but stand up and say a few fair words."

Mei Zhongjun said, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

He and Kang Shilin are also considered mortal enemies, and they know that Kang Shilin has a bad temper.

If he had said this normally, Kang Shilin would have been furious and interrupted him. But at this moment, Kang Shilin was extremely calm and stood there calmly and looked at him, as if waiting for him to finish his words.

This is not right, it is very wrong.

Mei Zhongjun couldn't help but look around for a week, then looked at Zhang Xiuyan again, hoping that his disciple would discover something.

But Zhang Xiuyan was looking at him with gratitude, and didn't realize anything was wrong.

Mei Zhongjun couldn't help but curse in his heart: idiot.

If someone hadn't promised him to come here to cause trouble, he wouldn't have taken Kang Shilin head-on for Zhang Xiuyan.

Kang Shilin is so powerful, and the emperor supports him. Peng Guoan and others have a better reputation. Even if there is a last fight, Zhang Xiuyan cannot go from second to first. What good will this do to him? It will be in vain to bring more infamy.

His original plan was to secretly ask people to spread rumors after the game to ruin Kang Shilin's reputation. This is the best strategy.

Unfortunately, someone gave too many benefits, so it was not good for him to refuse.

On the other side, Kang Shilin saw that Mei Zhongjun stopped talking, then he asked slowly: "You're finished? It's our turn to say it, right?"

Mei Zhongjun was uneasy. When she recalled that she should have finished speaking just now, she nodded.

He said: "No matter how clever you make excuses, you cannot hide the fact that you are favoritism."

Kang Shilin did not have quarrels with him.

He turned his head and looked at Peng Guoan: "Mr. Peng, you just gave my apprentice tens of 10 this painting. I don't know why?"

Peng Guoan has seen Zhao Ruxi's paintings since the preliminary round, and he admired her very much, and envied Kang Shilin for accepting a good apprentice. He never remembered what Kang Shilin's apprentice had to do with him.

As mentioned by Mei Zhongjun, he thought for a long time before finally remembering that Kang Shilin's apprentice was born in Suiping Bo Mansion, and his second son's wife was the eldest daughter of Suiping Bo Mansion.

The girl in front of me is the sister of her second daughter-in-law?

Hearing Kang Shilin's question, he took back his thoughts and commented on Zhao Ruxi's paintings, all of which were praising.

After praising him, he smiled and said to Kang Shilin: "I'll say something Mr. Kumu doesn't like to hear. Lingtu's paintings are more than you. Anyway, compared with hers, I prefer Miss Zhiwei's paintings."

Kang Shilin laughed out loud: "No, no, I love to listen to these words. I am so old, I will be like this for the rest of my life. I am too happy to be better than my apprentice than my blue, so how can I not like to listen to them?"

Peng Guoan nodded, then curled his smile and glanced at Mei Zhongjun with a faint expression: "In my eyes, the painting of Miss Zhiwei is flawless and can be comparable to Mr. Kumu's painting, and it is not on the same level as the painting of the second place. If you don't give it ten, it is not enough to express my admiration for the painting skills of Miss Zhiwei."

He raised his hand and urged the onlookers: "I, Peng, have been honest all my life and only want to be ashamed of doing things. This is the case, and the same is true for this."

Peng Guoan is kind and talented, and has countless friends throughout his life. However, Mei Zhongjun's character is despised by many people.

In addition, once Zhao Ruxi's paintings were displayed at the auction, people who liked this style loved it to their core.

With several factors added together, some people couldn't help but stand up for Peng Guoan and Zhao Ruxi.

At this moment, someone in the crowd said, "We all know that Lord Peng is a person and will never do such favoritism. However, some people's hearts are dark, and everything they see is dark."

"I said Mr. Peng is favoritism, but I want to ask, Mr. Mei, why are you questioning here? Isn't it because your apprentice won the second place and I want to be the first place? I think you are the one who wants to be favoritism? If you don't say whether your apprentice's painting can compare with Miss Zhiwei's paintings, I just asked, Mr. Mei, do you dare to compare with Miss Zhiwei's paintings?"

Mei Zhongjun's face turned red when asked.

He looked indignant and said, "My and his bad apprentice are not good at learning skills and are not as good as those of the Zhiwei Girl. But I just said that there must be mistakes in the competition. The Zhiwei Girl may be able to draw good paintings in normal times, but in this case, it is not so perfect. Several judges gave ten, which is biased. This is a fact and everyone cannot deny it."

This statement was said, and the people who stood up for Peng Guoan and Zhao Ruxi were willing to refute it again, and they couldn't speak.

Even if they like painting, they are still laymen. In addition, they can only see a rough picture of Zhao Ruxi's paintings, but the details are not real. They really dare not pat their chests and promise that Zhao Ruxi's paintings are perfect.

On the contrary, Mei Zhongjun's words are very certain that he may see the shortcomings of Zhao Ruxi's paintings, so he dares to take the blame, dare to question it in public, and bear it with so many people.

Xiao Yu stood outside and saw the painting closest to Zhao Ruxi's painting, but he saw it clearly and cut it. He felt that the painting was indeed perfect, and it was better than what he bought for 25,000 taels of silver.

He and Kang Shilin were as close as father and son, and he also had the mentality of protecting Zhao Ruxi, the "little junior sister", and naturally preferred Kang Shilin and Zhao Ruxi. He also hated Mei Zhongjun, who had always opposed his cousin.

At this time, he made a sound, proving that the painting value was "ten" and the effect was the best.

Anyway, the Imperial Guard had surrounded the place, so he left after presiding over this justice, and there would be no danger.

But Mei Zhongjun knew Kang Shilin, but Xiao Wu was only even more so than him.

Mei Zhongjun questioned that Kang Shilin was unruly and was not irritable. He stood there calmly and calmly, which made Xiao Wu feel that Kang Shilin must have a last move.

So he simply kept silent and stood there watching the fun.

After hearing Mei Zhongjun's words, Kang Shilin was still not anxious or impatient, and said to Zhou Wenbai: "Brother Zhou, why do you give ten?"

Zhou Wenbai has been obsessed with painting all his life and has great experience in painting.

When Kang Shilin asked, he said something very well. People who are not proficient in painting don’t understand it very much, but they always feel that after Zhou Wenbai said this, Zhao Ruxi’s paintings look very powerful.
