February was still a season with a hint of chill, and at this time the flowers had not yet bloomed; only the fresh green of the treetops burst forth against the cold, heralding the news of spring.
Ma Chengteng rushed to find Yueyao and said, "Yueyao, Qingfeng Bookhouse is holding an art exhibition." Each year during March and April, Qingfeng Bookhouse held an art exhibition featuring the works of some famous painters. But this time, the exhibition was different from the past.
It took Yueyao quite a while to understand that the art exhibition organized by Qingfeng Bookhouse was less an exhibition and more a competition. Qingfeng Bookhouse allowed anyone who enjoyed painting and was confident in their own work to submit their pieces to the Bookhouse. Several masters from the painting circles would then critique the submissions, and the top pieces would be selected. The top fifty works would be put on display.
