In the field of poetry, prose and scriptures, she may not be able to compare with these outstanding scholars, but she may have the strength to fight for qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.

☆、Chapter 30

Qi Surong came to the arena of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. There were four rooms separated here. There were only more than thirty contestants. The rules of the competition were also different from others. Only the top two were awarded points, two points and one point respectively.

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting were not included in the imperial examination subjects, so the enthusiasm of the students was not high.

The final evaluation of the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting will come to the application time, and you can participate at any time during the period. All works of calligraphy and painting will be displayed for people to enjoy.

The chess test mainly consists of chess and Go. There is a chief examiner and four chess players to judge. The contestants first play against the four chess players and are graded according to the number of games won or lost. Although there are only four games at most, it takes a long time.

When Qi Surong came to watch, there were only three games in the chess room, and the fastest game came to the midfield.

After watching it for a while, Qi Surong had a rough estimate of the chess skills of several chess players, which were between 3 and 5 dan, belonging to the middle and low level.

If she is a reference, it should not be difficult to win three games.

Qi Surong went to the piano room again.

Qinbi is the most difficult of the four, but it is the only one that can advance to the score. It is not limited to the guqin, but also includes 18 kinds of musical instruments such as zheng, flute, and pipa. However, the instruments are not chosen by the contestants themselves, but by a lottery. If you win an instrument that you are not good at at all, you can only abstain. After each competition, another instrument is drawn. If you can successfully complete three games and reach a certain level, in addition to the two points for the first place, you can also get an additional three points. Therefore, luck has also become an important factor in determining the outcome of this competition.

"Young man, I see you've been around for a long time, come and write a few words?" At this moment, a slightly smiling voice entered Qi Surong's ears.

She followed the sound and saw that in the study, a white-haired old man was sitting in the hall and looking at her with a smile.

Qi Surong walked over slowly and saluted the old man.

"What is the name of the young man? Which academy?" the old man asked.

"In Xiayingshuge Zhuofan."

"Oh? It turned out to be Xu Chen's student." The old man took a pen and wrote her name, pointed to the desk beside him, and said, "Come on, write a few words for the old man to see."

Eh, she didn't seem to say she wanted to compete, did she?

Qi Surong couldn't refuse, so she had to go to the table and sit down. The book test requires neat and beautiful, solid foundation and unique style, and can write poetry, songs or scriptures by default.

Qi Surong raised her head and couldn't help but see a few plum blossoms sticking out of the wall not far away.

There were several plum branches in the corner, and Ling Han opened it alone.

Knowing from a distance is not snow, but for a dark fragrance. (Song Wang Anshi "Plum Blossom")

After writing it, she suddenly woke up. This poem was written by her master, and it has not yet appeared in the world.

Thinking of this, she picked up the rice paper and planned to put it in her sleeve, but it was only half folded before it was taken away.

"Items in the arena can't be taken away at will." The old man laughed, looking at the poem on the paper, his eyes lit up, and nodded, "It's not bad, it has a bit of charm."

I don't know if he was talking about words or poetry.

Qi Surong is good at writing three fonts, one is Yan style, the other is Liu style, and the other is Qin style taught by the master.

She usually writes in Yan style, but in special cases she uses Liu style. When she wrote the poem just now, she used the willow style.

The so-called Yan Jin Liu Bone, Liu style calligraphy is vigorous, tough, thin and beautiful, Qi Surong has integrated his own characteristics into it, and it is a little more clear and handsome, showing the nobility and tenacity of a cold plum.

"Well, you can go." The old man waved his hand at Qi Surong and said casually, "Calligraphy is not easy to get, you can try your luck in the mural room next door."

After speaking, he ignored Qi Surong and walked away.

Does that mean she has no hope of scoring? Qi Surong stared at the back of the old man tangled, and his eyes fell on the famous brand above the main hall - Gu Yin, a scholar of Hanlin.

It turned out to be Elder Ge, who can be said to be the longest-lived official in the state of Wei.

When Qi Surong died in the last life, his old man had just resigned...

Qi Surong smiled, got up and saluted him, and walked towards the mural room next door.

If calligraphy fails to score, she can only try painting again.

The painting is titled "Small Scenery", which has a wide range and can be played at will.

Qi Surong thought, just wrote a poem about plum, so let's paint plum.

Painting and her embroidery are inseparable, and both composition and lines are very particular.

The reason why she is called a "talented girl" is not just an empty name. She has a very high talent for painting, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Freehand brushwork pays attention to refinement, spaciousness, and the chest hides the hills and valleys, which embodies a kind of artistic conception and personality.

Thousands of trees are in full bloom, not as arrogant as a plum tree.

Qi Surong took only half a column of incense to complete this painting, titled: Thriving alone.

The examiner in the painting test saw a young man make a few strokes of a painting and thought it was just a play. When the young man left, he walked over casually...

Walking out of the studio, there was a pleasant flute sound in his ears, Qi Surong followed the sound, stood in the corridor, and listened quietly.

After the song was over, Qi Surong clapped her hands.

Hearing the applause, the man looked back and saw that it was a strange young man dressed in ordinary clothes, so he turned his head.

The examiner asked him to continue drawing lots.

He has already passed two rounds, and if he finishes one more round, Qin Bi will probably be his first place.

But his luck ended here. In the third round, he drew a rare musical instrument, the xun.

If the qin and se are called elegant utensils, and the fou (fou) is considered as a custom (folk) utensil, the general scholar and literati prefer the former, and the latter is rarely involved.

The man was holding the xun, his face was pale, he hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up the promotion match.

The laughter of several people came from behind: "What a pity, Dongling-Jun."
