For example, Kang Shilin and Xiao Ruotong, who are from prominent backgrounds and extremely talented, and are still engaged in art, all have a common characteristic, that is, they are dust-free and very high, which ordinary people can't look down on.

It's just that Xiao Ruotong is pure and harmless, and Kang Shilin is very aggressive.

What kind of aggression? It is said that when the emperor was eleven or twelve years old when he was a little prince, he went out to play with Kang Shilin, and the two of them rolled on the ground and fought fiercely in order to dispute the ownership of a rabbit that was shot at the same time.

The two of them are making trouble, and they still like to play together. Within two days, I sneaked out to visit the Qinglou again. After being discovered, the buttocks bloomed at the same time.

Later, when he grew up, the first emperor ascended to the throne. Kang Shilin dislikes his cheesiness and doesn't like to play with him. But the friendship between the two of them, a female ticket and a prostitute together, a window together, and a butt beaten together, that is not an ordinary friendship.

However, when Kang Shilin was young, he was not as ignorant of the world as Xiao Ruotong. You see that he has a hot temper and a poisonous tongue, but he also divides people on different occasions. If you don't mess with him, or if you're not bad and worthy of forgiveness, he won't target you. But he can't look down on him and provoke him, so he has to put you to death.

Therefore, although Kang Shilin has a poisonous tongue, with his principled nature and friendship with the former emperor, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dares to provoke him now.

"What broken horses did the men you sent out ride? Why haven't you called people back after so long? Kang Shilin returned to the chair and sat down, blowing his beard and glaring again.

Shen Feiyang looked at Mrs. Cui as if he was asking for help.

Mrs. Cui smiled slightly and asked Kang Shilin, "You just went to my place, do you want to ask something?" ”

Kang Shilin also has one advantage, that is, he has always maintained a gentlemanly demeanor for women with good conduct.

So in the face of Mrs. Cui, he slightly restrained his temper and replied: "Xu Xi promised to teach us her painting method, and said that the class will start in a few days, I have found all the people, but she is gone, can I not be in a hurry?" ”

Xu Xi painted a special portrait of Kang Shilin, who Kang Shilin showed to the masters in the academy, and everyone knows it. But Xu Xi promised to teach them to paint, and Kang Shilin did not say it in the academy.

The reason why Xiao Ruotong knew was because Xu Xi painted jewelry drawings for her Yinlou, she and Xu Xi were relatively close, Kang Shilin asked Xiao Ruotong about Xu Xi's situation and asked her to help ask Xu Xi what he meant, so he knew.

And these two people are both addicted to their own fields of calligraphy and painting, and their status is still high, so they didn't think about telling the academy about it.

Xu Xi is a master who likes to make a fortune in a muffled voice, and he is even more reluctant to publicize it, so he can't wait for everyone else to know about it except for a few of them. Naturally, it will not be said.

So the painting classes were almost ready, just waiting for the lesson, and the Bac Ninh Women's Academy didn't know that there was such a stubble.

Mrs. Cui was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What teaches painting?" What is the start of the class? ”

"Just teach us how to draw. Because she taught not only one of me, but also several others, she planned to start a painting class. But don't worry, it's not in the academy, it's outside, and it won't take up your time. Kang Shilin didn't care about the authentic way.

"But aren't you her master? She's teaching you again, isn't this a mess? Mrs. Cui had difficulty understanding Kang Shilin's behavior.

She knew that these guys were obsessed with painting, regardless of worldliness. But no matter what, Kang Shilin is sixty or seventy years old, and he is Xu Xi's master in the academy. If he learns from Xu Xi in private, it will be fine. But Xu Xi opened a painting class and taught students as a formal master, and Kang Shilin ran to be a student, isn't that a joke? Although Kang Shilin, the old man, is unreliable, he is not so unreliable, right?

Kang Shilin waved his hand: "She charges tuition, and she doesn't want to be a lecturer." ”

"Charge tuition?" Mrs. Cui's eyebrows twitched again, "How much?" ”

"Three thousand taels."

"Three thousand taels and one?"

"Yes." Kang Shilin touched his chin and added, "Just teach for a short period of time, and it depends on yourself whether you learn or not." ”

“……”

Mrs. Cui really doesn't know what to say.

Kang Shilin, this guy is messing around, why is Xu Xi messing around? That kid obviously looks very smart and well-behaved, but he doesn't look like this old man Kang who is full of thorns, right?

In this era, the scholars and doctors are the most moral, and they are ashamed to talk about money. At the beginning of the apprenticeship, it will never be clear how many bundles of bunches to receive, at most receive some gifts during the New Year's holidays, the weight of the gift is also determined by the family background, even if it is a basket of cabbage, it is not too light.

Xu Xi only talks about money, not about vain. I received the money to teach painting, and when the time came, I broke up, and there was a frame that no one knew when I went out.

What is this non-nonsense?

Kang Shilin is a quick temper, although the capital is not far from here, it takes half an hour to go back and forth. Where does he have the patience to wait?

After talking to Mrs. Cui, he stood up: "No, I won't wait, I'll go find her." ”

He turned his head and told Mrs. Cui and Shen Feiyang: "You two told Shang De that she must leave Xu Xi behind, and don't let her enter the messy place of the Beijing Women's Academy." ”

"Zhao Ruxi, people are now called Zhao Ruxi." Mrs. Choi also stood up.

"Okay, okay, Zhao Ruxi is Zhao Ruxi." Kang Shilin waved his hand impatiently and walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Uncle Cousin, Uncle Cousin, wait a minute, my mother will be back soon. If she comes back to see you're not there, she'll have to beat me up. Shen Feiyang shouted from behind.

Since Kang Shilin came to Bac Ninh Academy to teach, Princess Shangde invited him to come to her home many times, but he was refused.

Now Kang Shilin finally came to the door, but he left without drinking a cup of tea, and his mother didn't know how to settle accounts with him when he came back.

"Beating you is not beating me, what does it matter to me?" Kang Shilin doesn't look old, he still walks like a fly, and walks fast.

Shen Feiyang didn't dare to stop him, so he had to send him out.

Walking to the door, Kang Shilin was about to get into the carriage, when he noticed that something was wrong, he turned his head and saw that Mrs. Cui was following him.

"What are you doing?" Kang Shilin glared and asked, "Why don't you stay here and tell the princess about that child?" ”

"I'll also go with you, take a look at Zhao Ruxi's child, and persuade her." Mrs. Cui smiled, "Don't worry, what do you mean, Shen Gongzi will tell the princess." ”

Kang Shilin touched his beard and thought about it, and felt that Mrs. Cui's purpose did not conflict with his own. And with Mrs. Cui here, it is more convenient for him to see Zhao Ruxi.

He didn't stop him and said, "You can go if you want." ”
