The discussion continued and the examiner on stage had already shown the painting to everyone to show the fairness of the results.
Fan Liu-er's and Zhao Yan's paintings were of the same path, both were the scenery of a garden with chrysanthemum blooming. In all fairness, it was beautiful but the artistic conception was too mediocre so naturally it was ranked at the back.
Qin Qing on the other hand had painted a 'Red Fairy' with a big chrysanthemum. This was most likely a type of chrysanthemum that she was familiar with. The painting only depicted this chrysanthemum and it was so vivid and lifelike. It could be considered that she had taken a different path and completely ran away from the artistic conception and only casually displayed her own painting skills. A 'Red Fairy' was vividly displayed on the paper and it was really beautiful. But the academy examinations not only tested one's painting skills but also the meaning of the painting so no matter how beautiful this chrysanthemum was, it was only ranked third.
Very quickly, it was Shen Yue's painting. Shen Yue bit her lips as she sat beside Chen Rou Qiu. She barely managed to maintain a smile on her face but her fists were tightly clenched. If it was in the past, she would be smiling lightly and accept everyone's sincere praise and envy. But now, this' Second Second 'was like a deep irony that made her feel that everyone was looking at her with ridicule and ridicule.
Shen Yue's painting was a remnant chrysanthemum. The wind and rain rustled and a lot of the chrysanthemum petals in the courtyard had fallen but the scattered petals were still firmly attached to the branches and stood straight, as if it was an important person with integrity. And at the side, there were two sentences from a poem, "Rather die holding the fragrance on the branches than to be blown away by the north wind."
This painting was considered to have a lofty intention. Generally speaking, from the painting to the person, the remnant chrysanthemum in the painting was of high quality and the person who painted would be able to see that it was of high moral character. The examiner in charge loved such a talented and moral person the most. If Shen Yue's painting was not able to get 'First Rank', it was really unimaginable what Shen Miao had painted.
"Painted so well? How could it be Second Second? "Bai Wei exclaimed," I really do not understand. "
Chen Rou Qiu also could not understand. Initially she thought that Shen Yue was slightly nervous today and had taken a wrong path. Who knew that when this painting was taken out, she knew that her daughter did not do anything wrong and it was the same as the previous academy examinations. It was indeed a well-deserved First Rank. But why was the result different?
Ren Wan Yun was somewhat rejoicing in Shen Yue's misfortune. Shen Yue was outstanding and had always suppressed Shen Qing in the academy examinations. Seeing that Shen Yue suffered a loss this time, even though Shen Miao winning first place made her unhappy, but since it had nothing to do with her. She was always happy to watch the show.
The examiner on the stage ordered the two children to unroll the scroll, and the noise stopped abruptly.
The drawing paper was very big and Shen Miao's painting had too much white space. Her painting skills were not outstanding. Therefore, he only drew a rough view of the distant scenery, but unexpectedly, there was a kind of magnificent atmosphere.
On the scroll, yellow sand was endless, and a setting sun was gushing blood red. A broken sword stood in the yellow soil, and a white chrysanthemum was below the sword.
Here, the chrysanthemum seemed to be just an ornament. It was so small that even the meridians of the petals could not be seen. But in this painting, it was like a finishing touch, a bleak and desolate feeling gushed out.
Everyone present was silent for a moment. Even through the pen and paper, one could feel the desolation and misery in it, as well as the helpless struggle.
That was war.
Chen Rou Qiu and Shen Yue trembled at the same time. After seeing clearly what was painted on the scroll, they knew that there was absolutely no possibility of a comeback in this match.
Yes, Shen Yue was indeed elegant and her character was not gaudy, and was able to take care of her character and nobility. But Shen Miao's painting had completely jumped out of the 'person'. If one said that Shen Yue was using the chrysanthemum to praise people, then Shen Miao was using the flower to express her will. How could the feelings of a lone person be compared to the cruelty of war?
