Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan

Chapter 168 The Miraculous Examination Hall (6)

Zeng Runqin's suggestion was excellent. Dong Yinmiao could only close her eyes and ponder, constantly searching her memory for ancient poems.

Dong Yinmiao suddenly opened her eyes and slowly recited: "A name that lasts a thousand years, Mao Yanshou; a painter of his generation, Gu Kaizhi. A dream that touched the heavens finally brought him to the capital; with such skill, why worry about not having the right time?"

This poem is actually quite obscure; it is "A Gift to Zhu Danian, the Master of Calligraphy," written by Zhang Yu, a poet from the Yuan Dynasty.

This summoning, just like Situ Ling's previous mention of the "Two Young Masters," summoned two ancient figures. One was the painter Mao Yanshou, and the other was Gu Kaizhi.

When people mention Mao Yanshou, the first thing that comes to mind is Wang Zhaojun. Mao Yanshou was the most famous figure painter during the reign of Emperor Yuan of Han.

According to Ge Hong's *The Painter's Abandonment in the Market*, written during the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties period, Emperor Yuan of Han had so many beauties in his harem that he commissioned painters to paint portraits of the women. The emperor would choose his concubines based on the portraits' beauty or ugliness. Those who paid were painted more beautifully, while those who didn't were painted less so. Wang Zhaojun didn't pay Mao Yanshou, so he painted her ugly. Later, the leader of the Xiongnu came to Chang'an to pay homage and requested to be Emperor Yuan's son-in-law. Emperor Yuan bestowed upon him the "ugly" Wang Zhaojun. When Wang Zhaojun went to the palace to take her leave, Emperor Yuan realized she was an unparalleled beauty. However, the emperor couldn't break his promise, so he executed Mao Yanshou in revenge.

However, it must be said that Mao Yanshou's figure paintings are very good. He was praised for "capturing the true form of people, whether they are ugly, good, old, or young."

Gu Kaizhi was a polymath, skilled in poetry, calligraphy, and especially painting. He excelled in portraits, Buddhist images, birds and animals, and landscapes, and was known as a master of three arts: painting, talent, and eccentricity. The painting "Bribing the Gods" was painted by Gu Kaizhi.

This time, without any surprises, with Gu Kaizhi's help, Dong Yinmiao and the others first returned to 5 smoothly, and then from 5 they successfully arrived at the real 4.5. This time, there were no murals on the walls of 4.5, and the fourth floor was also a white light door, instead of a wooden carved double door.

Zeng Runqin nervously led the way downstairs, afraid that something might go wrong with the white wallpaper. Fortunately, nothing happened, and they successfully completed their art graduation exam.

[Congratulations to Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms period for being the first to complete his art graduation exam at the Battle of Red Cliffs! Please check your bonus points!]

Dong Yinmiao pulled up the group data and took a look.

Study Group: Zhou Yu at the Battle of Red Cliffs in the Three Kingdoms Period

Group Leader: Dong Yinmiao (Chinese Language)

Group members: Situ Ling (Politics), Qiao Zishan (Physical Education), Zeng Runqin (Music), He Yihua (Physics), Luo Yuheng (Mathematics)

Completed courses: 2/12

Points: 150

Dong Yinmiao breathed a slight sigh of relief. She had a total of 150 points, and the art exam had only taken one day. Although the time was short, she was somewhat mentally exhausted.

Dong Yinmiao didn't know how others felt, but she herself felt incredibly tired. After all, in Dong Yinmiao's eyes, every painting looked exactly the same; she couldn't see any difference at all.

In addition, she did go up and down the stairs several times, and as someone who is terrible at exercising, she felt tired.

After distributing the points, Dong Yinmiao told everyone to disperse and do whatever they wanted. She herself didn't want to eat; she just wanted to go back to her dorm and sleep for a long time.

Although everyone initially shared the food to save money, they could still afford to splurge on individual dishes occasionally.

Of course, the gluttonous Qiao Zishan didn't give up on Zeng Runqin's cooking, but Zeng Runqin was too tired this time and ignored Qiao Zishan's invitation to eat. Like Dong Yinmiao, she chose to go back to the dormitory to rest.

As the last girl in the group, Situ Ling also readily agreed to go back to the dormitory to rest.

As for what the boys ultimately did, Dong Yinmiao had no way of finding out.

Back in the dorm, the three of them took a nap, and then went to the cafeteria together and ordered two rice dishes and a stir-fry.

The three of them didn't follow any rules about not speaking while eating or sleeping, and chatted as they ate.

First they talked about today's art exam, then they made some wild guesses about what the exam was all about, and finally Dong Yinmiao asked somewhat helplessly, "What do you think we should take for our next exam?"

Situ Ling couldn't help but frown and said, "Sanshui, aren't we being a bit too hasty? The school sports meet is over and then we have to take the art exam. We just finished the art exam and you're already thinking about the next exam?"

“Yes, Sanshui. Although finishing the exams early might allow us to leave here sooner, I can’t take one exam a day!” Zeng Runqin sighed helplessly. “I’m really scared about this exam. If I hadn’t discovered the way to leave, wouldn’t we have failed and had to retake art?”

Dong Yinmiao paused for a moment and said, "Actually, I didn't plan to start the exam tomorrow. I was just wondering what the next exam would be."

Dong Yinmiao sighed, shrugged, and said, "I've always had trouble making decisions, and our team is quite strong, so I figured randomly drawing lots for the exam wouldn't be a problem. But..."

Dong Yinmiao pouted and said, "I was also quite shocked by this exam. I thought art exams would be very easy, but I didn't expect..."

Situ Ling couldn't help but chime in, "Yes, Xiaoqin, if it weren't for you, I really doubt we could have successfully completed our graduation exams."

Situ Ling glanced around cautiously, then added, "Of course, I'm not saying the academic genius doesn't understand these things, it's just... everyone has their own area of ​​expertise! Although you don't have a specific area of ​​expertise, you were also raised with an artistic background, so why don't we specialize a little more...?"

Upon hearing Situ Ling's words, Dong Yinmiao couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

The title of "academic genius" bestowed upon Luo Yuheng by the entire Jinglan No. 1 Middle School, making even Situ Ling hesitant to say that Luo Yuheng was necessarily ignorant of these things. Although no one truly knew whether Luo Yuheng understood or not, the collective consensus was that Luo Yuheng was omnipotent.

"Oh dear, even a genius isn't omnipotent! We really have to thank Xiaoqin this time." Dong Yinmiao said with a smile, patting Zeng Runqin on the shoulder.

Regardless, as the team leader, it's important to encourage the team members promptly. After all, during the sports meet, Zeng Runqin showed some lack of self-confidence, believing she wasn't very useful in the school team.

Zeng Runqin made a great contribution this time, and Dong Yinmiao naturally did not hold back his praise.

As Dong Yinmiao said before, no subject can be defined as unimportant, and no prop is useless.

Although Qiao Zishan and Zeng Runqin's props haven't been of much help yet, this is only the second subject, and there are still many exams to come.

Besides, one's own knowledge can greatly help in passing the exam. Without Zeng Runqin, it wouldn't have been so easy to pass this art exam.
