She stood up: "I guess something's wrong." I'll take a look. ”

Zhao Yuanxun hesitated for a moment, and then stood up: "Let's go together." As he spoke, he glanced at the Zhu family, "Your mother will go with you too." ”

When the masters of the academy came to visit, they, as fathers and mothers, should naturally come forward to receive them.

It's just that Zhu Shi saw that her husband's expression just now was wrong, and when she walked out together, while Zhao Ruxi was not paying attention, she asked Zhao Yuanxun in a low voice: "What's wrong?" What's the problem with the people? ”

"Nope. But one of them is Mr. Kang Shilin. Zhao Yuanxun said.

Seeing that his wife hadn't reacted yet: "It's the deadwood layman." ”

Zhu's face changed, and his heartbeat was two points faster.

That old gentleman, although he has no title or official position, his status is extremely transcendent. In the capital, who dares not to give his old man some face?

She made up her mind and warned herself to be calm and not to embarrass her daughter.

The three of them went to the main hall, and Zhao Ruxi introduced the two parties and greeted each other.

As soon as he sat down, Kang Shilin couldn't wait to say to Zhao Ruxi: "Xi girl, I have found the place and people you want, when will you start teaching?" ”

Zhao Ruxi glanced at Mrs. Cui and said, "If the academy still lets me study there, then it will be in the place you are looking for; If we can't study, how about we find a place in the capital? In this way, everyone is close and there is no need to run so far. "The main thing is that she is inconvenient herself.

She asked Kang Shilin to help find a house near the academy, the closer the better. But now, people don't let you go to school, so you go to the neighborhood of the academy to teach people to draw, what's the matter? Wouldn't it be nice to avoid each other so as not to be embarrassed?

Kang Shilin frowned and looked at Mrs. Cui: "When will you negotiate the result?" Can you give me a letter tomorrow? ”

Mrs. Cui: "......" Is this the time to discuss this?

Kang Shilin is old and has a high status, but he usually acts like an old child, and Mrs. Cui doesn't want to deal with him.

She put on a smile and comforted Kang Shilin first: "I'll talk to Zhao Ruxi first." ”

Turning her head, she began to dismantle Kang Shilin's platform: "Zhao Ruxi, you taught painting, didn't you discuss it with the elders in the family?" I advise you to consult with your elders and think twice. If you do this, you will be criticized in the future. ”

Zhao Ruxi was stunned: "What criticism?" ”

When she first made this suggestion, neither Mrs. Xiao nor Mrs. Kang had any objections. Not only did I have no objections, but I was very happy that this approach solved a lot of problems.

How is it that in the eyes of Mrs. Cui, this approach seems to be very problematic?

"I said Cui girl, what are you doing? You came with me, that is, to dismantle my platform? Get out, go out, go out, there's nothing to do with you here, don't meddle. It's a good thing to spoil me, I tell you, I'm not done with you. ”

Seeing Kang Shilin's thunderous appearance, Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu were a little confused.

Both of them set their sights on Zhao Ruxi.

"Sister Xi, what the hell is going on?" Zhu asked.

Seeing that Mr. Kang didn't agree with him, he drove Mrs. Cui out, but Mrs. Cui didn't leave, and she didn't go, which was very embarrassing.

Zhao Ruxi didn't care about his mother's questioning, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Kang Fuzi: "Master, you are calm and calm." Mrs. Cui also thinks about me, afraid that I will be scolded in the future. Let's solve the problem first, shall we? Anyway, I'm sure I'm going to teach you how to draw, and the class will do it. At most, change the form and don't let people gossip. ”

Kang Shilin let Mrs. Cui go. However, his face was still full of resentment, and he glared at Mrs. Cui with his small eyes.

Mrs. Cui has been a feminist defender for so many years, but she is not afraid of him.

She straightened her clothes and sat down again, her face expressionless, her eyes did not blink, and she was not affected by Kang Shilin's glaring at all.

Kang Shilin had no choice but to sit back with her.

Zhao Ruxi only then had time to tell her parents about her teaching Kang Fuzi and their paintings. When it comes to the tuition fee of 3,000 taels of silver, I am quite embarrassed. I was worried that the people present felt that she was a lion with a big mouth and lost her money.

"This, this ......" Zhu Shi understood what was going on, dumbfounded, and couldn't understand his daughter's operation.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at her husband.

Zhao Yuanxun also frowned.

Kang Shilin is not stupid, he knew that the situation was not good when he saw it, and quickly asked Mrs. Cui: "Cui girl, is there anything wrong with this approach?" ”

What's wrong, it's a big problem.

However, Mrs. Cui knew that Kang Shilin was not ignorant of the world, but ignored the world. Anyway, his identity and status are there, and he is a celebrity, and he is called second in the painting world, and no one dares to call him first. A little more profligate, no one will be more serious than him. After a long time, the old gentleman threw the rules behind him, and did what he wanted, very willful.

She had no choice but to tell Kang Shilin the truth.

As a result, Kang Shilin heard that this would be criticized, so he waved his hand and said: "It's up to them to say it." These apologists don't do anything all day, and they know how to talk about this and that, like a group of long-tongued women. If you want them to be satisfied, can we still live? ”

Mrs. Cui smiled bitterly: "Your old man can do it, but Zhao Ruxi can't do it." The child is young and has poor psychological capacity. This is said to be said, how can she go out to meet people? In case you can't think of it......"

Speaking of which, she stopped talking, stopped talking, and let Kang Shilin understand by herself.

Kang Shilin glared at Mrs. Cui, then turned his head to look at Zhao Ruxi, and asked, "Miss Xi, are you afraid?" ”

Zhao Ruxi didn't dare to say that he was not afraid.

When she took the imperial examination, she reflected on herself, and felt that she did not have the ability, courage and mental strength to fight against the whole society. She wants to enjoy a good life, and she doesn't want to be criticized every day to survive in the cracks.

The same is true now. In order to earn that little bit of silver, it is not worth it to be criticized by others. If she wants to make money, she has a way.

She nodded and said firmly, "I'm afraid." ”

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, and she said it so justifiably, Kang Shilin was so angry that her nose smoked.

He scoffed, "Coward." ”

Zhao Ruxi was not afraid of him, and shrugged his nose at him: "Just be timid." ”

Zhao Yuanxun was taken aback, for fear that Zhao Ruxi would make Kang Shilin angry. When the time comes, I won't be able to protect her.

But he didn't want Kang Shilin to laugh "haha", pointed at Zhao Ruxi and scolded with a smile: "Stinky girl." ”

After laughing a few times, he sighed, became sad, stroked his few strands of goatee and said, "Is there no way?" ”

Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu didn't dare to make a sound.

They didn't want their daughter to be stressed.

Zhao Ruxi sighed, and his face was full of sadness: "It seems that there is no more." "Her little money, it's just flying. There is also the danger of being caught as a court painter. It's so hard to be a human being!
