"Old lady, madam, the girl is hit, hit." In the capital, Xiaole ran into the gate of Suipingbo's mansion, all the way unhindered, and ran directly to the front of the old lady's courtyard.

The old lady and the Zhu family had been waiting for a long time.

However, Zhao Ruxi is still as steady as Mount Tai, facing the pond and the red-clothed Dianjiang next to the pond, painting a picture of "Spring Leisure".

Her paintings are mainly majestic landscape paintings, but she doesn't like to walk her path too narrowly, some time ago she didn't practice landscape drawings to the extreme, and felt that there was still room for improvement, so she has been painting landscape paintings when she has time to paint.

But now that the landscape painting was feeling a bottleneck, she simply turned her head and tried something else.

This picture is still her way of painting landscape paintings, but the momentum is different, and the feeling of leisure and laziness in spring is painted by her. The little girl in the painting looks agile and is reaching for an iris next to the pond. In terms of figures, she adopts a combination of Chinese and Western painting methods, not only the three-dimensional painting methods of Western painting, but also the ink and brushwork of Chinese painting.

At the beginning, Gong Cheng had an epiphany after seeing her paintings, and added Western three-dimensional painting methods to the original basis of his paintings, making the horses more three-dimensional and flexible; Zhao Ruxi originally wanted to leave this figure painting to Wu Zong, but now that she has a reputation for landscape painting, she doesn't need to continue to innovate in figure painting. On the contrary, Wu Zong is famous for his figure paintings, and if he also adds Western techniques to the original foundation, he can also make his paintings go further.

But since Wu Zong was in turmoil at the border and replaced Zhang Changshen to deal with the affairs of Dali Temple, he has become increasingly busy, and it seems that he has no time to paint; At this time, Zhao Ruxi's skills were itching, and he wanted to try it, so he drew this painting method.

"Congratulations to the host, +1000 intelligence." System broadcast.

This is not a conscious unit, but an unconscious part of the statistical score. Zhao Ruxi This is considered an innovation, and the system still gave her a thousand points.

It's just that Zhao Ruxi, who is now rich and can earn a lot of points every day, doesn't pay much attention to this thousand points.

She looked up from the painting and was about to call Dianjiang back, when she saw Caidie running in panting, and shouted, "Girl, you have won the second place." ”

"Second?" Zhao Ruxi's brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly relaxed.

She has always won the first place in modern times, and the articles she wrote during this period have always been praised by Peng Guoan and others, and her expectations for herself have risen again, and she subconsciously still hopes that she can take the Huiyuan exam. However, Dajin is full of talents, and it is not surprising that someone writes better articles than her.

"The old lady and the lady told you to come over." Caidie said again.

"Okay, I'll be here." Zhao Ruxi put down the pen, washed her hands, and instructed Yicui to wash the pen she had used, and when the paint on the paper was dry, she put the painting away, and then went to the old lady's courtyard.

Because Zhao Ruxi is still among the best, Xiaole waited until the final red list came out to report the news, and the official who came to report the good news was the matter of the front and rear feet.

When Zhao Ruxi went to the front, the Zhu family had just sent away the official who had come to report the good news, and was talking to the old lady with a smile on his face.

Seeing Zhao Ruxi coming in, the old lady hurriedly took her hand and said, "You know, right?" You took the second test. ”

"yes, got it." Zhao Ruxi said.

She asked again, "Has my uncle been hit?" ”

Zhu Hehuai was originally a lifter, but he didn't pass the last session, and he participated in the examination with her this year.

"Hit, hit." Zhu's face was full of joy, "I won the thirty-seventh place." The ranking is also good. Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten into the exam. ”

The two uncles of the Zhu family helped a lot when they were investigating their backgrounds. They are good people and have always been very good to the Zhu family. Zhao Ruxi intended to repay them, knowing that Peng Guoan would comment on the articles sent from outside from time to time, so he mentioned a word to Peng Guoan in the letter, and Peng Guoan specially turned out Zhu Hehuai's article for correction, and also met Zhu Hehuai once.

Zhu Hehuai knew from Peng Guoan that Zhao Ruxi's articles were much better than him, so he also put down his uncle's shelf, and sent people to send his articles to Zhao Ruxi for comments from time to time. After Zhao Ruxi commented for a while, Peng Guoan said that he had made great progress. He became more and more diligent in consulting Zhao Ruxi.

That's why there are Zhu's words.

"We're double happy, haha." The old lady said happily, turned her head and instructed Mama Jin, "Quickly send someone to send a congratulatory gift to the Zhu family and congratulate the uncle of the Zhu family." ”

Zhu thanked his younger brother.

She herself had already sent someone to send a congratulatory gift. But the mother-in-law's mind is another matter. Mother-in-law is making a face for her.

After thanking him, Zhu still put his mind back on Zhao Ruxi, and sighed: "Alas, it's a pity that it's still a little close, otherwise it would be Huiyuan." ”

She was worried that Zhao Ruxi would not be able to pass the exam, but now it is a pity that Zhao Ruxi did not get the first place.

"So many people, how many people have read books for more than ten or twenty years, our sister Xi is so much better than them, what are you not satisfied with?" The old lady quit and counted Zhu Shidao.

Zhao Ruxi was busy playing the round: "I know my mother's regrets." But if you want me to say, it's better to get a second place, better than Huiyuan. ”

"What do you mean by that?" When the old lady heard this, she hurriedly asked.

"Let's all get out." Zhao Ruxi turned his head and ordered the people in the house, and glanced at Qingfeng again.

After the group went out, Qingfeng and Mama Jin guarded the door.

Zhao Ruxi lowered his voice and said: "If I were both Xie Yuan and Hui Yuan, the article during the palace examination would be well written." You say that if the emperor doesn't ask me to be the champion, will he be honest and criticized by the world? Not to mention others, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is afraid that she will have to enter the palace to fight with him. ”

The old lady and the Zhu family both nodded, thoughtful.

"But if he orders me to be the champion, the ministers of the court and the male candidates will definitely feel uncomfortable, and then they will have to complain to the emperor and ask a woman to ride on their heads. Whoever makes the emperor embarrassed, the owner will inevitably not be good; Only if he feels indebted can it be good for us. Now that I take the second place in the exam, the emperor doesn't have to be embarrassed, it is more beneficial to my father and my future. Isn't that better than such a troublesome false name? ”

When the old lady and the Zhu family heard it, they both nodded in agreement.

"Or you're open-minded and thoughtful. We don't know where to go. The old lady said.

"Okay, now that I've been admitted, as long as there are no accidents in the palace exam, the Jinshi is proper. What are your thoughts on foreign appointments right now? Zhu asked.

Zhao Ruxi shook his head: "This is not something we can consider. I will go wherever the emperor sends me. ”

After a pause, she said again: "Grandmother, mother, if someone asks you, you will say so." If others mention Senior Brother, you will say that Senior Brother is an upright official and never favoritism. ”
