Wu Zong's heart was dripping blood, but he couldn't show it yet.

He glared back at Zhao Ruxi: "What kind of eyes are you?" I also have Master's paintings, okay? ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but cover his heart.

Although Master also gave him and his brothers paintings, they were all early works of Master. Later, when Master's paintings improved, he disliked them himself, so he used them as gifts to reward his apprentices.

One is a work of dislike, and the other is a work of pride. Woo, why is there such a big difference between people?

Zhao Ruxi couldn't take care of him, and she was satisfied with her master's proud work.

But she still hasn't forgotten what to do.

"Master, I have something to discuss with you." She said.

"Let's go, let's go to the hall."

Kang Shilin walked out of the Tibetan painting room, entered the hall, called someone to bring snacks and tea, and then asked, "Say, what's the matter." ”

Zhao Ruxi told about the sharing of a set of test papers between Bac Ninh and the Beijing Women's Academy, and said: "Now Mrs. Cui is very worried, for fear that I will be favored by the Beijing Women's Academy if I do well in the exam." Once I am fancied and refuses, I will offend Concubine Jinniang. ”

Kang Shilin's brows furrowed, and he immediately waved his hand: "Don't be afraid." When the time comes, I'll talk to the emperor. You are my apprentice, and of course you have to wait for me wherever I am. ”

Zhao Ruxi shook his head: "Master, I came to tell you about this, not for you to intercede in front of the emperor." Although the emperor will agree to your request in front of you, he still offended Concubine Jinniang invisibly. Your old man is naturally not afraid, but Senior Brother Kang, it is not good for them to be targeted in the court. ”

She didn't wait for Kang Shilin to speak, so she continued: "I was thinking, I can't rely on you and my senior brothers for a lifetime, I have to stand up myself." If I am an admired celebrity, will others not think that I am a bully and will easily provoke me? So I want to ask Master, am I going to participate in the year-end competition in Beijing? Which one is better? ”

Zhao Ruxi's words were vague, but Kang Shilin and Wu Zong still understood the meaning of her words.

"You want to ...... Make public that you are the author of that painting? Kang Shilin asked.

Zhao Ruxi nodded and asked the two, "Master, senior brother, what do you think?" ”

Wu Zong's brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about the pros and cons of being open.

Kang Shilin patted the armrest: "Public, naturally it must be made public." If it weren't for the fear that your paintings wouldn't sell for a high price, there would have been no need to hide your identity. Now that the painting has been sold, it was still auctioned by the emperor, and he already knows that the painting was painted by you, and he still loves the painting very much, and he doesn't feel that it is a loss to spend 25,000 taels of silver to buy your painting. So what else do you have to hide? Public, hurry up and make it public. ”

Zhao Ruxi and Wu Zong glanced at each other, and both of them had helplessness in their eyes.

Master is a dazzling maniac, Zhao Ruxi raised this question, and without thinking about it, he knew that Master was very much in favor of making it public. In this way, the old man can boast of his little apprentice to the fullest.

You must know that after Zhao Ruxi's painting was auctioned, others had to praise it. Kang Shilin had to hold back his internal injuries every time he heard it.

Zhao Ruxi simply asked Wu Zong: "Senior brother, what do you think?" ”

Wu Zong thought for a while and said, "It's nothing to be public. With the emperor's painting here, no matter how much everyone likes your painting, it is not good to force you to sell it to them at a low price. ”

Zhao Ruxi nodded.

Speaking of this, the three of them were very glad that Zhao Ruxi's painting was auctioned at a high price by Gonggong Xie for the emperor. Otherwise, Zhao Ruxi will encounter a lot of trouble if he wants to make it public. With the emperor in the way, those who want to force her to sell her paintings, or want her to sell paintings at a low price, have to rest, otherwise where will the emperor be?

"That's it, I'm going to participate in a drawing competition." Zhao Ruxi said.

Kang Shilin touched his beard and thought about it, and asked Zhao Ruxi: "Zhiwei, I heard Old Man Gan say that you can make a problem that no one in the household department can do over the years, is it true?" ”

Wu Zong was taken aback.

"A problem that no one can solve?" Zhao Ruxi's brows furrowed, "When Gan Fuzi gave me the question, didn't he say that it was a problem for the household?" ”

Wu Zong was speechless: "In other words, you don't find it difficult when you do the question?" ”

"Ugh." Zhao Ruxi touched his nose and sneered, "It's okay." ”

Kang Shilin stroked his beard and said, "Since you are so good at arithmetic, why don't you participate in the arithmetic competition together." ”

The competition at the end of the year is the eight talents of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and shooting poetry.

Numbers are arithmetic.

If Zhao Ruxi didn't show her talent in arithmetic, it would be fine. Kang Shilin felt that he shocked the entire capital and the Great Jin painting world with his paintings, and Zhao Ruxi, a disciple, was also very good, which made him a master.

But since arithmetic is also great, why not participate together and make everyone more shocked?

Zhao Ruxi shook his head: "Master, even if I calculate the problems accumulated by the household, in addition to Gan Fuzi sighing a few words to you, have you heard of my arithmetic talent from others?" ”

Kang Shilin was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and thought thoughtfully.

"It can be seen that Gan Fuzi also knows that I can't spread the reputation of arithmetic. I'm not going to participate in the arithmetic competition. ”

Princess Xiangyang didn't have any plot in the original, but she was mentioned because she was the sister of the third prince. But after Zhao Ruxi arrived in the Great Jin Dynasty, as a person who was determined to change the original plot, it was impossible not to find out the situation of the various factions of the royal family and the powerful in the capital.

Therefore, when I heard that she was doing a problem with the household department, I thought that there was no wave in this matter, and it seemed that even Mrs. Cui didn't know about it, and Zhao Ruxi knew that Gan Lun also had concerns. He knew that spreading her arithmetic talents would not only not be a good thing, but would cause trouble.

Even so, there is no need for her to provoke Princess Xiangyang for a false name.

The reason is the same as whether or not to accept the solicitation of the Beijing Girls' Academy.

Kang Shilin is actually an extremely transparent person, otherwise he would not have a transcendent status. He just threw himself into painting and didn't think about it that much.

At this time, Zhao Ruxi mentioned it, and he also knew Gan Lun's concerns.

He sighed: "It's still not strong enough for Master to protect you." ”

"Master, don't say that." Zhao Ruxi was very uncomfortable when he heard this, "Don't worry, when I finish the imperial examination and get a certain amount of fame, my talent in arithmetic will not be hidden." When the time comes, I will definitely give you a fight. ”

"Good. I waited. Kang Shilin nodded vigorously.

Frustrated for a few breaths, remembering that the little apprentice was going to participate in the painting competition, Kang Shilin became excited again, wrote a letter, and sent someone to send it to Fang Jingye, which was regarded as registering Zhao Ruxi.

Participating in the painting competition, Zhao Ruxi also had a temporary idea. At this time, when she saw Kang Shilin writing to Fang Jingye, she remembered something.

She asked, "Master, who is the judge of the drawing competition?" ”
