Chapter 189: Say a few words
He must have at least two sons before he can rest assured that one of them will enter the military and go to war. In case the people who went to the battlefield can't come back, this huge Suiping Marquis Mansion will not be taken away by the Shuzhi.
The children of the Changzhi are spilling their blood in front of the Hou Mansion to fight for the future, but the children of the Shuzhi are waiting in the back to pick up the cheap, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
This is also the reason why Zhao Yuanxun's wife also accepted a concubine, and the eldest lady also acquiesced to the old lady to arrange a concubine for him.
They must have sons, at least two.
With Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jingtai, everyone was overjoyed. Therefore, they carefully taught Zhao Jingli, and prepared that after he reached the age of sixteen, they would do their best to help him find a position in the army by using the little connections he had left.
At the beginning, knowing that the child was held by mistake, the reason why the old lady, the eldest lady and Zhao Yuanxun were so painful was because of Zhao Jingli, who was reluctant to raise him carefully, was also because of this reason.
Now that all the children have returned to their positions, only Zhao Jingtai is left as a male member. No matter what it was for, it was impossible for them to let such a lone seedling enter the army and endure hardships and risks.
Then Zhao Jingtai's future has become a problem.
He is a prince, a nobleman, and a knighthood, and it is impossible for him to participate in the imperial examination.
If he doesn't participate in the imperial examination, and he can't join the army as a general, what else can he do?
Suipingbo Mansion can only wait for more and more decline.
But now Zhao Ruxi worships Kang Shilin as a teacher, which makes them see hope.
That Gong Cheng and that Wu Zong are all children of the noble family. Because they are good at drawing, officialdom needs people with this kind of specialty, so they entered the officialdom.
has the ability, and then the family invests resources to cultivate, as well as a master like Kang Shilin and a senior brother like Wu Huaisi, their careers are destined to be smoother than ordinary people.
Kang Shilin accepted Zhao Ruxi as an apprentice because he took a fancy to her talent and aura, and the Suiping Marquis Mansion naturally couldn't expect Zhao Jingtai to worship him as a teacher. But Zhao Jingtai can learn to paint with his sister.
Not to mention becoming a generation of masters, only need to be like Gong Cheng and Wu Zong, to become a person with painting expertise, Zhao Yuanxun through relatives and friends, for him to find a real job in the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, Dali Temple and other places, it is not difficult.
When they saw Zhao Ruxi's painting before, they didn't think much about it, they just thought it was normal, and they didn't think about letting Zhao Jingtai learn to paint with his sister.
Kang Shilin's apprenticeship, they were not only happy, but also saw the broad road in front of Zhao Jingtai.
"Mother, everything will be fine. Not only did Sister Xi worship Master Deadwood as her teacher, but Brother Tai also won the praise of Master Wu this morning. When something like this happens, the child grows up, becomes sensible, and knows how to work hard. β
Zhao Jingtai was looking at Zhao Ruxi with bright and adoring eyes, and when he heard his mother suddenly praise himself, he scratched his head and was embarrassed all of a sudden.
Compared to his sister, he is too far behind.
"Okay, okay." The old lady let out a long breath, "Brother Tai, you study hard, and learn to draw with your sister." When you grow up, the family will arrange an errand for you. If you have an errand and are willing to make progress, your future will definitely not be bad. β
"Yes, grandmother." Zhao Jingtai stood up and responded.
The old lady turned to Zhao Ruxi again: "Sister Xi, are you right?" β
The eldest lady glanced at Zhao Ruxi, glanced at her, and motioned for her to respond temporarily, coaxing the old lady to be happy.
Zhao Ruxi understood and said with a smile: "Grandmother, you can rest assured." Not to mention my master, but my brother is very powerful. My second senior brother is in the Ministry of Industry, and the third senior brother is in Dali Temple, and they must be short of manpower. If Brother Tai is willing to learn to draw with me, and if he learns well, it will not be a problem to find an errand related to painting. β
"Good, good." When the old lady got this, she was very relieved.
While his father told his grandmother about going to Kangfu to apprentice, Zhao Jingtai whispered to Zhao Ruxi: "Sister, you are too powerful. β
Children are simple-minded. Although he has a good relationship with Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jingan. But Wei swapped Zhao Jingli and Zhao Ruxi in order to let Zhao Jingli rob him of the position of prince; Zhao Jingtai's mother was so vicious, which made him immediately turn from liking to disgust for his two brothers.
Lately, he didn't want to see either of his brothers.
Just now, my father and sister didn't come back, and my grandmother and mother told him how miserable my fifth sister used to live in the countryside.
At this time, he knew that his sister was so powerful, and his admiration for Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jing'an's two brothers quickly transferred to Zhao Ruxi.
Zhao Jingtai Xiong is a little bear, but he looks very good, and his appearance is more like Zhu's. And this is a brother-in-law. Zhao Ruxi was an only child in his last life, and he always hoped to have a younger brother and sister. Now that she sees this younger brother, she is also very close to her heart.
Seeing Zhao Jingtai's chubby little face, she couldn't help but reach out and rub his head and asked, "Do you like painting?" When I'm free, can I teach you how to draw? β
Zhao Jingtai nodded vigorously: "Okay." β
After the family had dinner and came out of Rongxi Hall, Zhao Ruxi separated from the eldest lady.
The bamboo temple has not been cleaned up yet, and she is still living in the tea house.
Autumn gets dark fast, and they eat late, and it's already dark by this time. Qingfeng and Dianjiang hugged Zhao Ruxi with lanterns left and right, and suddenly a figure appeared in the darkness, startling Dianjiang.
"Fifth sister, it's me." Zhao Ruyu hurriedly said.
Zhao Ruxi frowned at her, looked behind her again, and found that Fu Shu was standing far away with a lantern, looking this way vigilantly.
"What's the matter?" She asked.
"IβCan I say a few words to you alone?"
Zhao Ruxi glanced at her and walked straight forward: "Come in and talk about it." β
"Just say it outside here, say a few words and I'll leave." Zhao Ruyu insisted.
"I don't have anything to say to anyone. If the sixth sister insists on asking me to withdraw from the maid and talk to you in this darkly lit place, I will suspect that you have a grudge against me because of your mother's affairs, and you want to do something unfavorable. Zhao Ruxi said coldly.
Now it is an eventful time, and Mama Yuan has been instructed by the eldest lady to pay more attention to the safety of the girl. She didn't see Zhao Ruxi and them coming back in the house for a long time, and she was carrying a lantern to pick them up, and as soon as she went out, she heard Zhao Ruxi's words.
She immediately guarded Zhao Ruxi like an old chicken protecting a chicken, and said sharply: "Sixth girl, what do you want to do?" β
Zhao Ruyu came home and thought about it, feeling uneasy, she really just came over to say a few words to Zhao Ruxi.
Seeing that Zhao Ruxi and Mama Yuan had misunderstood, she hurriedly waved her hand: "I really have no malice, really." Wei is not good to me, why should I complain about you for her? Am I living too long? I just have a few words I want to say to my sister, and I can say it when I go into the house. β
