Chapter 165 He wanted to cover her from head to toe, but he didn’t want her beauty to stun others.
A few people calculated the time and went downstairs to cast their lots. At this time, there were not many people casting lots in the hall downstairs.
Mo Yunsheng's painting is "Pine Waves at Pingshan." He used a combination of ink wash and freehand brushwork to depict the pine trees and bamboo forests of Pingshan, the mountain stream, and the distant river and reeds. Although none of the images mention wind, he made the image of wind appear everywhere.
The low-hanging reeds and grass vegetation bent down, the pine waves and bamboo sea, the floating pine and bamboo leaves, and the fluttering corners of the clothes of the pedestrians at the foot of the mountain.
Everything is wind, and everything is windless.
Mo Yunsheng understood the art of painting. Even with just a single stick of incense, it already possessed the qualities of a master's work. From the impeccable composition and artistic conception, to the lifelike depiction of the objects, to the mastery of the painting techniques.
Therefore, the jade pot in front of Mo Yunsheng contained a lot of silver sticks. Anyone who understands painting can understand the extraordinary skills of Mo Yunsheng.
Su Yingxue and the others agreed to vote for Mo Yunsheng with all four of their votes. They wanted to take a gamble, betting that the most promising Mo Yunsheng would stand out, get a good ranking, and raise the overall score.
When the incense stick burned out, the contestants who had cast lots were called away, and the paintings were moved intact to the private rooms of the great scholars and nobles on the top floor.
Unlike the extreme method of silver sticks, the gold sticks were voted by great scholars and nobles. Each time a person voted, the votes were directly counted and entered into the painting.
Three great scholars and a nobleman voted for Mo Yunsheng, and another nobleman voted for Qin Xue, which was something Qin Xue had never expected.
Soon, the first round's overall votes came in. Eight groups had submitted their applications for the painting category, with Mo Yunsheng receiving second place in the individual painting skill ranking, and Qin Xue fifth overall. Fortunately, their combined votes barely secured fourth place in the group overall ranking.
Su Yingxue was very satisfied with this result.
After all, it was all thanks to Mo Yunsheng!
"Brother Mo," Su Yingxue looked up at the man beside her who was dressed in white, as bright as the moon in the sky, a gentleman with a graceful demeanor.
Mo Yunsheng also happened to see the announcement of the results, and he smiled back at her. Qin Xue had a thin face, but it was exceptionally fair. Her skin was like the finest pearls, white and translucent, and seemed to glow in the sun.
Her eyes, at this moment in the sunlight, were a light brown, so beautiful that they seemed to glow, with countless fragments of light flowing in her eyes.
Mo Yunsheng suddenly remembered the saying, "Beauty is beyond the clouds." He felt that Qin Xue was so beautiful that she seemed like a fairy beyond the clouds, but at this moment, she was staring at him from afar.
He saw her smiling eyes and her joy.
There is a feeling that is called, he is moved by her joy, and is also infected by her joy. He is happy for her joy and also worried about her worries.
But today, she is full of joy, with curved eyebrows and a bright smile.
"Sister Axue..." Mo Yunsheng suddenly realized that her smile was too bright, even though she was wearing the simplest white dress, the simplest pure white Dongzhu, and the white jade hairpin he gave her.
But her face was so eye-catching that when she stood there, she couldn't help but attract the attention of many onlookers.
When those astonished eyes focused on Qin Xue, Mo Yunsheng suddenly felt a bitter feeling in his heart.
He really wanted to cover Qin Xue from head to toe, so that her beauty would not stun others.
Because he suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart. He was unhappy with the way others looked at Qin Xue. He wished that at this moment, only he could see Qin Xue, and no one else could see her.
Only he can monopolize her beauty.
That would be great...
"Thanks to Brother Mo for his wonderful brushwork. With the help of Brother Mo's Dongfang, Axue can reach a higher level." Qin Xue smiled faintly.
"Sister Axue, you are too modest." Mo Yunsheng said lightly, "Sister Axue's painting skills are obviously not bad, why is Sister Axue so modest? She only cares about praising me and forgets to praise herself."
Mo Yunsheng stared at her with a smile, but in his heart he was thinking that if he waited until the competition was over, he could discuss the marriage as soon as possible and set the engagement first.
His parents probably wouldn't want him to get married too soon before he achieved success. But at least, if the engagement was confirmed, Sister Axue would be his fiancée.
Since there is a marriage certificate signed by both parties, his sister Axue should no longer receive so many admiring glances in the future.
At least he can be my legitimate fiancé, how great.
"Sister Axue, Master Mo." Sister Qingming caught up, "Sister Axue, you two are really good this time."
"It's a pity that it will be Brother Qin and I tomorrow. Alas, Sister Xue, I'm not very good at the art of incense." Sister Qingming sighed.
"How about we have dinner together in a private room tonight. After dinner, Sister Axue and Brother Mo can accompany Qin Dong and me to practice and give us some pointers?" Sister Qingming thought. Sister Axue had made good progress in the art of incense last time, and it seemed that there was no skill that could stump Mr. Mo.
Otherwise, is it like this?
Getting advice from two people is at worst a way to pool wisdom, which can only be beneficial, right?
