The young lady has introduced a eldest daughter of Shangshufu. She is the best at painting. Once her cousin took her paintings to the academy, the master also praised it, and praised the painter for his aura and superb skills. She is among the younger generation. Outstanding.
It is true that no young man paints so amazing later, the painting skills of Shangshufu's daughters have always been well known.
Tao Rui glanced at each other and asked, "What do you want to paint?"
"Why don't it be better to take the current garden as the scenery?" Shang Shu Qianjin answered with a smile. This party was called by her. This garden is also her home. The trees, flowers, plants, rockery, and water are all exquisitely arranged. The painting here is of course very good, and you can't cheat and you can't use what you have practiced in the past. Replenish the number of paintings.
Tao Rui nodded, walking slowly with his hands behind his back, observing the garden scenery from different angles. The same is true for Shangshu Qianjin. Even though it is her best painting, she did not take it lightly, but rather took it seriously. This kind of respect for the opponent has never appeared in the original owner, making everyone around him vaguely feel that something has quietly changed.
After the next person rearranged the table, the two contestants stood up in front of the table, began to dispense paint, and sketched.
Surprisingly, neither of them raised their heads anymore, as if they were fully committed, they had already remembered the surrounding scenes clearly.
The whole garden is very quiet, and everyone is afraid to make noises to disturb them, and they don't want to go far, or even sit down and wait.
Everyone gathered around the two of them and stretched their necks to look at it. The scene was like what the common people saw in the market. It was the first time among these young masters and young ladies who were accustomed to holding their own identities.
Painting is very slow. What's rare is that no one feels tired. The three princesses didn't take a rest and always stood beside Tao Rui to watch. She felt that a princess standing next to ordinary people would be a little nervous, but Tao Rui was very comfortable, relaxed all over, and was comfortable with every stroke, and he did not hesitate to paint a beautiful scroll little by little.
The expressions on the faces of the three princesses gradually changed from curiosity to surprise. From time to time, they looked up at the people present and then looked at the paintings, and then they couldn't help showing their amazement. This makes the people who are far away can't see clearly feel very tickled, they all want to know what Tao Rui drew to make the princess show such an expression.
In the end it was Tao Rui who wrote the pen first, and the scholars over there thought about it and then added a few strokes to the scroll, which made the scenery in the painting a lot more vivid, and people nearby couldn't help but yell good.
People who have seen her paintings have finally recovered some confidence, thinking that Tao Rui can't win this time. The daughter of Shang Shu has painted the current scenery to the extreme, and they really can't think of how others can beat her.
But when the paint dries and the servants lift up the painting for everyone to watch, these people lose their voices.
The daughter of Shang Shu was surprised, and walked quickly to the painting, looking carefully. Tao Rui painted this garden with a nice view, but as a background, he also painted everyone present. Of course, it was not a portrait, but a distant crowd.
In the painting, two people can be seen painting in front of the book table. A few strokes outline her and Tao Rui. Tao Rui is standing next to the three princesses, and a circle of people is not far away. She looked at everyone, and then at the painting, and found that everyone's clothes color matched! There are also obvious characteristics such as tall, short, fat and thin, which are all reflected in the painting.
The most difficult thing is that this does not draw a single person alone, this is a group portrait, but it happens that people know at a glance that the painting is the scene. She said that she wanted to paint the current garden. Isn't the "current" the scene where everyone is watching and competing?
In addition to the characters, Tao Rui's scenery is also very good, not inferior to her. There are also a few butterflies and dragonflies in the painting, but they are small, but they seem to fly out of the painting.
At this time, a gust of wind blew and the drawing paper moved slightly, and the daughter of Shang Shu found that Tao Rui's layer upon layer of flowing water was actually different colors from different angles, and it looked as if the water was really flowing.
She couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wonderful! Wonderful! Why didn't I expect it?" She was inspired by this painting, and immediately took her own painting back to the book table, and started to color again.
Soon after, she picked up the painting and smiled with joy, "It looks like five points, and still needs to be practiced. But I already understand the technique!"
She bowed to Tao Rui excitedly, "Thank you Tao Shizi."
There is no need to judge which one wins and which one loses. The daughter of Shang Shu was inspired by Tao Rui's paintings and learned new techniques, and she was obviously willing to bow down. Tao Rui not only demonstrated superb painting skills in this painting, but also demonstrated his amazing memory. You must know that he didn't look up after he started painting. How did he remember the characteristics of so many people?
Some people were amazed and thought it was unbelievable. Tao Rui sipped tea and laughed and said: "What's the difficulty of this, I've never forgotten it by nature. I only draw a rough image and don't need to observe it."
"Don't forget?" Tao Ya exclaimed, "Big brother, why haven't you said that?"
"What is there to say specifically? Just like I am so handsome, would I tell people that I am handsome? I was born so, no need to mention it."
Everyone is speechless, your words really sound like boasting.
But Tao Rui's words are not unreasonable. It's a natural thing that few people mention. This is really in line with Tao Rui's character. He never shows off or takes it seriously. Even in the usual competitions, he just accompanies them casually. For fun, naturally there is no need to mention it.
But why don't Tao Wen and Tao Ya know? Even if they had a bad relationship with the son, Xuan Guo Gong and Mrs. Xuan Guo didn't find out? If a parent knows that his son never forgets, it's impossible not to mention it, right?
This speculation made everyone a little surprised. It seems that Lord Xuan Guo still felt to his friends that his dead son was unlearned and stubborn? It seems that Mrs. Xuan Guo once said angrily that this son can't control him like a monkey?
It seems... Tao Rui's parents have never been proud of him, Tao Bin has always been proud and praised!
Everyone's gossip thoughts were aroused, so why not ask the person concerned, so I had to bear it and plan to inquire about Xuanguo's mansion later. Should the servants they released in previous years know the inside story, right?
Next, the son who had made friends with Tao Rui had to compete with Tao Rui. He was Qi Lang, the youngest son of the Yushi family. He was beaten and scolded by his father because he had a good relationship with Tao Rui, but he just loved Tao Rui. Children play, I think the days are much more interesting.
However, his family education is strict and he has to learn everything he needs to learn. He is also quite talented in chess. He is considered to be the best chess skill among all the players on the field. He remembers that he has won many games against Tao Rui, so he doesn't believe Tao Rui plays. Chess can beat him.
He excitedly said: "Sincerely, if you know how I play chess, can you be sure to beat me? If you abstain, I will be fine."
Tao Rui smiled, and called out his words, "Mingxian, if you lose to me, don't be annoyed."
Qi Lang's eyes lit up, "Don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed, if you win, I will be happy to have more chess friends! Come on, I won't let you!"
No one wasted time when the two were seated, one by one fell quickly, as if they didn't need to think. Some people on the side of the chess path didn't understand it, but found that the two of them had already dismantled the opponent's move, blocking the opponent's path, and the reaction was not so fast.
Someone who has experienced Qi Lang's chess skills has already determined that Tao Rui's chess skills are not inferior.
When the chess pieces were about to fill the board, both of them slowed down a lot. They had to think for a while when they dropped a piece, and everyone became nervous. But before they were nervous for long, Tao Rui lay down and tapped on the table gently, raising his eyebrows and said, "You lost."
"Huh?" Qi Lang looked at it carefully again, and after calculating the three moves, he would undoubtedly lose, no matter how he walked, Tao Rui had already seen that move.
He immediately slapped the table, and when everyone thought he was going to get angry, he got up and hugged Tao Rui, and said excitedly: "Good brother! I know you are not mud, your chess skills are higher than mine, hahaha, no worries in the future. I can't find anyone to play chess. Haha. I'll take a good set of chess to find you tomorrow. No, today, I'll go tonight. Our two brothers will come to sleep and we will be able to play overnight."
Tao Rui pushed him away with a headache, and said disgustedly: "I knew you were reacting like this."
Qi Lang patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "You kid, you have lied to me for a long time. You are afraid that I will hold you and play chess before you lose back to me, right? Humph, but I was caught by me. I want to go back and show off with my dad. I don't make friends with friends, but my eyes are sharp!"
Everyone laughed, remembering that Qi Yushi was dissatisfied with Qi Lang making friends before, and at the same time he squeezed a sweat for him. This man was too incapable of talking, and said all the curse words of "hupengoyou" relatives. , I really didn't give Dad a face. Presumably after today, Qi Yushi won't stop him from looking for Tao Rui, right?
Tao Rui also felt that this stupid boy was too foolish. The original owner lost to him clearly because of his poor chess skills, but let him make up for it by himself so that he would be happier.
Tao Rui said to everyone: "It's getting late, let's try the piano art soon, I still want to use these prizes for silver."
Everyone laughed again, and they all thought he was joking. However, all the people who competed with Tao Rui before have lost. It seems that Tao Rui is still so confident. Obviously, the piano skill is also quite good. Those who are good at Qin are reluctant to compare with him. Although it is not too shameful to lose to Tao Rui today, when people mention today's things afterwards, they will inevitably bring up the people who have lost.
It is always bad to lose. The son who challenged Tao Rui's calligraphy before has already regretted it.
After waiting for a while, no one said anything, the third princess thought for a while and said, "I'll come."
Everyone was surprised, none of them had ever heard of the princess playing the piano!
The three princesses laughed and said: "I have loved playing the piano since I was a child, and my father has praised it, Tao Shizi, today I will compare you with you, you have to show all your skills, if you win, you have to teach me to convince me. Orally."
Tao Rui readily challenged, "The three princesses please first."
The piano cannot be played at the same time. The three princesses cleaned their hands and burned incense, and played first. She was probably influenced by the poem before, and she kept thinking of her late mother. Although she has been favored by her father and the emperor for so many years, she is the most favored of all the princes and princesses, and still can't make up for the affection of the mother and the queen.
On the contrary, the more pets she received, the more love she had in her heart, the more sad she was for the death of her mother.
The sound of the piano can convey feelings, and the sadness and longing in her heart are conveyed to everyone on the scene through the sound of the piano, and it also reveals some children's attachments to their mothers. Many young ladies have red eyes, and the sons feel sore.
The uncontrollable sadness infected everyone. The third princess's piano skills no longer need to be specifically commented. This level is definitely not something that ordinary people can pop up. It seems that the third princess said that she loved it since she was a child and was praised by the emperor. The piano skill is superb.
When it was Tao Rui's turn to play the piano, everyone, including the three princesses, was a little nervous. The first three princesses played so well. The most important thing was to make everyone feel sad. This game was too difficult to break.
