Zhao Ruxin's fiancé is a new jinshi, and now he is working in the Ministry of Rites, and he is an eight-rank official.

He is an only son, his family has a small property, and after being admitted to the Jinshi, he simply asked his father and mother to sell hundreds of acres of land in his hometown, and came to the capital to buy a second house and buy dozens of acres of land.

Zhao Yuanxun also inquired about him in many ways, and felt that he was good-looking, sincere and diligent, gentle and polite, with a simple family population, and his parents were kind-hearted. Although his family is not particularly wealthy, they have a house, a land, and a monthly income, so at least they don't have to worry about living.

After a few contacts, he asked someone to make peace. After the two families met each other once, they were quite satisfied with both parties, so they got engaged.

Zhao Ruxin will get married next spring.

Before the separation, the relationship between the children in Suiping Bofu was still very harmonious. At that time, Zhao Jingli was still the son, although Zhao Ruxin was a concubine, she was also his own sister, he was also very concerned about this family business, and he once ran to see the man twice, and he couldn't be more clear about Zhao Ruxin's family business.

When Zhao Ruxi mentions it now, Zhao Jing feels that he knows how to deal with Zhao Rurui's family affairs.

Zhao Ruxi looked at his expression and hurriedly reminded him: "Marriage pays attention to your love and my wishes." If the fourth sister is unwilling, it is useless for you to help her Zhang Luo. I still have to change her mind first. If you can't change it, if you order her such a family business, she will make a mess. ”

Zhao Jingli nodded.

He took out a few arithmetic questions that he couldn't calculate and asked Zhao Ruxi, and at the end, he asked: "The Xu family is renting the house of Mrs. Zhao Shi's family, right?" I want to get to know Brother Xu Chongwen when I have the opportunity. I heard that he reads well and is a good person. I've been bored at home all day, and Brother Xu has free time at the end of the year, and I also have a place to walk around. ”

Zhao Jingli also had a group of friends before. It's just that later the Suiping Bofu was demoted, and he returned to the second room, and he was no longer the prince of the Hou Mansion; In addition, Wei's affairs were in an uproar, Zhao Jingli was closed for a while, and those friends did not come to see him, and they broke off contact with each other.

Now he has almost no friends.

As soon as Zhao Jingli mentioned this, Zhao Ruxi also felt that it was not bad for Zhao Jingli to make friends with Xu Chongwen.

Xu Chongwen used to study in a private school in Bac Ninh County, but now he has entered the Zhao family school, because the master is very strict, coupled with the relationship between Zhao Yuanxun, the students of the clan study are quite friendly to him, and they have also made a few friends. But these are people at the bottom of society.

Zhao Jingli was the son of the Hou Mansion before, and the education he received and the people he came into contact with were completely different from Xu Chongwen and his classmates. It can be said that they live in the upper and lower classes of society, which are two completely different worlds.

The two became friends and were able to learn about the lives of social classes they had never been exposed to through each other. Zhao Jingli can understand the lives of the people at the bottom, be more down-to-earth, and be more down-to-earth; Xu Chongwen was able to broaden his horizons and improve his knowledge, so that he would not be timid and panicked when he came into contact with people of this class in the future.

She said, "Today is the end of the year, and he should be at home." Why don't I take you there right now and get to know you? ”

Zhao Jingli was overjoyed and said, "This is very good. ”

He observed Zhao Ruxi's expression, and said a little cautiously: "I call Jing'an to go with me?" ”

Zhao Jing'an's alienation from Zhao Ruxi, although Zhao Jing'an did not show obvious performance because of the lack of contact between the two. But Zhao Jingli believes that with Zhao Ruxi's cleverness, he will definitely be able to feel it.

"Whatever you want." Zhao Ruxi was noncommittal.

"Then I'll go to Jingtai first." Zhao Jingli said and left the Bamboo Cultivation Courtyard first.

Neither of them mentioned Zhao Ruyu.

The Xu family has moved to the clan for so long, and Zhao Ruyu has never looked at them, and the coldness in his temperament can be imagined. This is also the reason why Zhao Jingli is indifferent to Zhao Ruyu.

So no matter how much Zhao Ruyu tried to curry favor in front of him, showing that he was more capable and talented than Zhao Rurui, he was always indifferent to Zhao Ruyu, and he didn't have a trace of brother and sister affection for her in his heart.

Seeing Zhao Jingli go out, Zhao Ruxi instructed Dianjiang: "You go to the Xu family and say that I want to take the Zhao family brothers to visit, the eldest young master wants to make friends with Young Master Xu, and ask them if it is inconvenient." ”

Dianjiang responded and hurried to go.

I don't know how Zhao Jingli persuaded Zhao Jing'an, and it didn't take long for him to take Zhao Jing'an and Zhao Jingtai to Xiuzhu Academy.

"Sit down for a while, I'll call Dianjiang to say hello, and we'll go over when she replies."

Don't be an uninvited guest, it's basic etiquette. The three brothers had no objection.

Zhao Ruxi said that it was estimated that he would have to wait for a while before he could come back, so he ignored the three of them and went back to the academy to paint.

Zhao Jingtai has been learning painting with his sister. After learning almost the same in sketching, he followed her to learn Chinese painting.

Therefore, when I saw my sister painting, I immediately followed, standing beside Zhao Ruxi and watching quietly, observing and learning.

Zhao Jingli pulled Zhao Jing'an, and the two also followed behind Zhao Jingtai.

Zhao Ruxi was not affected by them at all, and painted his own paintings at his own pace.

The tournament is time-bound. Zhao Ruxi wanted to paint a majestic momentum, and the original size was very large. Now she plans to paint some small-scale paintings, which will inevitably cut down on the original layout. She struggled to reduce the number of subjects she painted without affecting the expressiveness of her paintings. So I've been thinking about it for the past few days.

She calmed down for a moment, and when she opened her eyes, she splashed ink. After a while, a rushing river appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Although there are no peaks, few trees and stones on the riverside, and only half of the width of the river is drawn, it can make people see the magnificence of the river and the galloping of thousands of troops, and the pride in the heart is spontaneous.

She created this new painting method, and Zhao Jingli has never seen it.

At this time, when he saw Zhao Ruxi's paintings, he was suddenly shocked. Seeing Zhao Ruxi put down his pen and stared at the painting, he seemed to shake his head dissatisfied, and he whispered to Zhao Jingtai in puzzlement: "The painting is too good, right?" Why is your sister still not satisfied? ”

"That's because you haven't seen my sister's real painting." Zhao Jingtai shook his little face and said proudly.

Zhao Jingli saw Zhao Ruxi's hands clean and knew that she was no longer painting, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Fifth sister, can I take a look at your paintings?" ”

Zhao Ruxi didn't answer his question immediately, but turned her head to look at Dian Jiang, who had just come back and was standing silently for fear of disturbing her painting, and asked, "How?" Are they convenient? ”

Dianjiang nodded: "Master Xu and Mrs. Xu are very happy, and said that the eldest young master and they are welcome to go at any time." Young Master Xu and Miss Xu were also at home. ”

Zhao Ruxi said to Zhao Jingli: "If you want to look at the painting, take a look and leave, don't delay the time, make people wait for a long time." ”
