Crush the Protagonist Into Slag

The ladies introduced a eldest daughter from the Shangshu House. She is the best at painting. Once her cousin took her paintings to the academy, the master also praised them. The best.

Later, no young man made paintings that made people more amazing. The painting skills of Shang Shufu's daughter have always been well known.

Tao Rui glanced at each other and asked, "What do you want to paint, Miss?"

"Why don't we just use the current garden as the scene?" Shang Shu Qian Jin replied with a smile. This party was called by her, and this garden is also her home. The trees, flowers, rockeries, and flowing water are all exquisite and carefully arranged. Of course, the painting here is very good, and you can't cheat, and you can't use the past practice. Paintings are replete.

Tao Rui nodded and walked slowly with his hands behind his back, observing the garden scenery from different angles. The same is true for the daughter of Shangshu. Even if it is the painting that she is best at, she does not take it lightly, but rather takes it seriously. This kind of respect for the opponent has never appeared in the original owner, which makes everyone around feel faintly that something has quietly changed.

After the next person rearranged the table, the two contestants stood in front of the table and began to mix paints and sketches.

Surprisingly, neither of them looked up again, as if they had made up their minds, and had already remembered the surrounding scene clearly.

The whole garden was very quiet, and everyone was reluctant to walk away for fear of disturbing them, or even to sit down and wait.

Everyone gathered around not far from the two of them and stretched their necks to watch. The scene was like the people in the market saw something novel. It was the first time in the world among these young ladies who maintained their identities and were accustomed to holding their postures.

Painting is very slow, and it is rare that no one feels tired. The three princesses did not go to rest, but always stood beside Tao Rui to watch. She felt that ordinary people would be a little nervous standing next to a princess, but Tao Rui was very comfortable and relaxed.

The expression on the face of the third princess gradually changed from curiosity to surprise. From time to time, she looked up at the people present, then looked at the painting, and then she couldn't help showing a color of amazement. This made the hearts of people who were far away and couldn't see clearly were very itchy. They all wanted to know what Tao Rui had drawn to make the princess look like this.

In the end, it was Tao Rui who wrote the brush first, and the Shangshu Qianjin over there considered and considered, and added a few more strokes to the scroll, which made the scene in the painting a lot more vivid, and the people nearby couldn't help but shouted hello.

People who have seen her paintings finally regain some confidence, thinking that Tao Rui will never win this time. The daughter of Shangshu has painted the current scene to the extreme, and they really can't think of how others can beat her.

But when the paint dried and the servants lifted the painting up for everyone to see, they all lost their voices.

The daughter of Shangshu was surprised, she walked quickly to the painting and looked at it carefully. Tao Rui painted the garden with a good view, but as a background, he also painted the people present, of course, not the portraits, but the people in the distance.

In the painting, two people can be seen painting in front of the book desk, and only a few strokes outline that it is she and Tao Rui. Tao Rui is standing beside the third princess, and there is a circle of people not far away. She looked at the crowd, then looked at the paintings, and found that everyone's clothes were the right color! There are also obvious features such as height, shortness, fatness and thinness, which are all reflected in the paintings.

The most difficult thing is that this does not depict a single person alone, it is a group portrait, but it makes people know at a glance that the painting is the scene. She said that she wanted to paint the current garden, isn't "current" the scene of the crowd watching the competition?

The key point is that in addition to the characters, Tao Rui's scenery is also very well drawn, no less than hers. There are several butterflies and dragonflies in the painting, which are small, but they seem to fly out of the painting.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the paper moved slightly. Shang Shuqian 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! It's wonderful! Why didn't I think of it?" Inspired by this painting, she immediately took her own painting and returned to the desk, picked up the pen and started to color again.

Soon after, she picked up the painting and showed a happy smile, "It looks like five points, and I still need to practice. But I have already understood the technique!"

She excitedly bowed to Tao Rui, "Thank you Tao Shizi."

There is no need to judge who wins or loses. Inspired by Tao Rui's paintings, the daughter of Shangshu has learned new techniques and is obviously resigned. In this painting, Tao Rui not only showed his superb painting skills, but also showed his amazing memory. You must know that after he started painting, he didn't look up again. How did he remember the characteristics of so many people?

Some people were amazed and thought it was incredible. Tao Rui took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "How difficult is this, I never forget it. I only draw a general image and I don't need to observe it many times."

"Don't forget it?" Tao Ya exclaimed, "Brother, why didn't you say it?"

"What's there to say on purpose? Just like I'm so handsome, would I deliberately tell people that I'm handsome? I'm born this way, no need to mention it."

Everyone was speechless, what you said really sounded like boasting.

But Tao Rui's words are not unreasonable. Few people mention things that are born in the first place. This is really in line with Tao Rui's character. He never shows off or takes any skills seriously. He even accompanies them in the usual competitions. There is no need to mention it naturally.

But Tao Wen, Tao Ya and the others don't know? Even if their concubines had a bad relationship with the prince, then Duke Xuan and his wife didn't find out? If a parent knows that his son will never forget it, it is impossible not to mention it, right?

This speculation surprised everyone. It seems that Duke Xuan Guogong still lamented to his friends that his deceased son was ignorant and unruly? It seems that Mrs. Xuan Guo's wife once said angrily that this son can't control it like a monkey?

It seems... Tao Rui's parents have never been proud of him, and it's Tao Bin who has always been proud and praised!

Everyone's thoughts of gossip were hooked, so it was difficult to ask the parties involved, so they had to bear it and plan to inquire about the matter of the Duke Xuan's mansion later. The servants they released in previous years should know the inside story, right?

Next, the son who befriends Tao Rui is going to play chess with Tao Rui. He is Qi Lang, the youngest son of the censor family. He was beaten and scolded by his father because of his friendship with Tao Rui, but he loves to be with Tao Rui. Play, I think the days are a lot more interesting.

However, his family was strict and he had to learn everything that should be learned. He was quite talented in chess skills. He was considered the best chess player among all the people present. He remembered that he had won many games against Tao Rui, so why didn't he believe that Tao Rui played Chess can beat him.

He excitedly said: "I sincerely, you know how I play chess, can you be sure to win me? If you abstain, I will be fine."

Tao Rui smiled and called out his name, "Mingxian, don't be annoyed if you lose to me."

Qi Lang's eyes lit up, "Don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed, if you win, I'd be happy to have another chess friend! Come on, I won't let you!"

No one wasted time when the two sat down, and one person and one son fell down quickly, as if they didn't need to think. Some people on the chess road didn't understand it, but they found that the two of them had already dismantled each other's moves and blocked each other's way, and their reaction was not very fast.

Those who have experienced Qi Lang's chess skills have already determined that Tao Rui's chess skills are not low.

When the chess pieces were almost all over the board, the speed of both of them slowed down a lot, and they had to think for a while when they dropped a piece, and everyone became nervous. But it didn't make them nervous for long, Tao Rui knocked on the table lightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "You lost."

"Ah?" Qi Lang took a second look, and calculated that after three steps, he would definitely lose, no matter how he walked, Tao Rui had already seen that step.

He immediately patted the table, just when everyone thought he was going to get angry, he got up and hugged Tao Rui, excitedly said: "Good brother! I knew that you are not a scumbag, your chess skills are better than mine, hahaha, I will not worry about it in the future. I can’t find anyone to play chess, haha, I will find you tomorrow with a good set of chess, no, today, tonight I will go, the two of us slept on our feet, and we can play chess all night.”

Tao Rui pushed him away with a headache, and said with disgust, "I knew that was your reaction."

Qi Lang patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "You kid, you have lied to me for a long time. You are afraid that I will hold you to play chess before you lose to me, right? Hmph, but I caught Xia, right, I still If I want to go back and show off to my father, I am not a buddy, and I have sharp eyes!"

Everyone laughed for a while, and they all remembered the fact that Qi Yushi was dissatisfied with Qi Lang's friendship before, and at the same time sweated for him. This person is too good at speaking, and he said all the swearing words of his relatives such as "hu friends and dog friends". , I really didn't show face to my father. Presumably after today, Qi Yushi will not 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 because he was not good at chess, but let him make up his own mind, so that he would be happier.

Tao Rui said to the crowd, "It's getting late, let's test the piano skills quickly, I'm going to use these lottery heads for money."

Everyone laughed again, thinking he was joking. However, all the people who competed with Tao Rui before had lost. Seeing that Tao Rui was still so confident, it was obvious that his piano skills were quite good. Even those who are good at qin are reluctant to come out and compare with him. Although it is not too shameful to lose to Tao Rui today, when people talk about today's events later, it is inevitable that they will talk about the losers together.

Losing is always bad, and the son who challenged Tao Rui's calligraphy before has regretted it.

After waiting for a while no one said anything, the third princess thought about it and said, "I'll come."

Everyone was surprised that none of them had ever heard the princess play the piano!

The third princess smiled and said: "I have loved to play the piano since I was a child, and my father and emperor have praised it. Tao Shizi, today I come to compare with you. You must show all your skills. If you win, teach me to be convinced. Just take it orally."

Tao Rui readily responded, "Three princesses please."

Playing the piano could not come at the same time, so the three princesses cleaned their hands and burned incense, and played first. She was probably influenced by the previous poem, and she kept thinking of her deceased mother. Although she has been favored by her father and emperor for so many years, and is the most favored of all the princes and princesses, she still cannot make up for the affection of her mother and queen.

On the contrary, the more favored she received, the more love she had in her heart, and the more saddened 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 there is a faint hint of the attachment of children to their mothers. Many young ladies have red eyes, and the young gentlemen also feel sore noses.

The uncontrollable sadness has infected everyone. The third princess's piano skills no longer need to be specially commented. This level is definitely not something that ordinary people can play. It seems that the third princess said that she loved the emperor since childhood. It is true, she is really Excellent piano skills.

When it was Tao Rui's turn to play the piano, everyone, including the third princess, was a little nervous. The first three princesses played so well, and the most important thing was to make everyone feel sad. This game was too difficult to break.
