People like Kang Shilin and Xiao Ruotong, who are from prominent backgrounds and extremely talented, are also engaged in art. They all have a common trait, that is, they are clean-minded and very aloof, and ordinary people can't look down on them.

It's just that Xiao Ruotong behaved innocently and harmlessly, while Kang Shilin behaved very aggressively.

What kind of aggression? It is said that when the late emperor was a little prince at the age of eleven or twelve, he went out to play with Kang Shilin. The two of them had a dispute over the ownership of a rabbit that was shot at the same time. They rolled on the ground and beat him severely.

After a fight, the late emperor was beaten by Kang Shilin until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He returned home and complained to his father, who even punished him by kneeling down.

The two of them were having fun together, but they still liked to play together. Within two days, they sneaked out to visit a brothel. After being discovered, their buttocks blossomed at the same time.

Later, when he grew up, the late emperor ascended the throne. Kang Shilin disliked his vulgarity and did not like to play with him. However, the two had a small friendship. They went to prostitution together, went to the same school together, and got their butts beaten together.

, that is not an ordinary friendship.

However, when Kang Shilin was young, he was not as ignorant of world affairs as Xiao Ruotong. You can see that he has a hot temper and a poisonous tongue, but he also responds to people according to the situation. If you don't offend him, or if you are not a bad person and deserve to be forgiven, he will not

He will target you. But if he doesn't like you and if you offend him, you will be punished to death.

Therefore, despite Kang Shilin's venomous tongue, with his principles and his friendship with the late emperor, no one in the court dared to offend him.

"What kind of crappy horse did the people you sent out ride on? Why haven't you called them back after so long?" Kang Shilin returned to the chair and sat down, blowing his beard and staring.

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

Mrs. Cui smiled slightly and asked Kang Shilin, "Did you just go to my place to ask about something?"

Another good thing about Kang Shilin is that he always maintains a gentlemanly manner towards women of good conduct.

So facing Mrs. Cui, he calmed down his explosive temper slightly and replied: "Xu Xi promised to teach us her painting method, and also said that the class would start in just a few days. I have already found all the people. She

But there is no trace of the person, can I not be anxious?"

Xu Xi drew a particularly similar portrait of Kang Shilin. Kang Shilin showed it to his masters in the academy, and everyone knew about it. However, Kang Shilin never mentioned Xu Xi's promise to teach them painting in the academy.

The reason why Xiao Ruotong knew about it was because Xu Xi drew jewelry pictures for her silver building. She and Xu Xi were relatively close. Kang Shilin asked Xiao Ruotong about Xu Xi's situation and asked her to ask her what Xu Xi meant. That's why she found out.

As for these two people, both of whom were obsessed with their own fields of calligraphy and painting, and whose status was still high, they didn't even think of telling the academy about this matter.

Xu Xi is a man who likes to make a fortune in a low voice, and he doesn't want to make it public. He just wishes that no one else except them knows about it. Naturally, he won't talk about it.

So the painting class was almost ready and was just waiting to be taught. Bac Ninh Girls' College didn't know that there was such a thing.

Mrs. Cui was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What teaching method of painting? What class?"

"It's just to teach us painting. Because she not only teaches me, but also several other people, she plans to open a painting class. But don't worry, it won't be in the academy or outside, and it won't take up your time." Kang Shilin said no.

Care about authenticity.

"But, aren't you her wife? She's teaching you again. Isn't this a mess?" Mrs. Cui found it difficult to understand Kang Shilin's behavior.

She knew that these guys were obsessed with painting and had no regard for secular etiquette. But no matter what, Kang Shilin was six or seventy years old, and he was Xu Xi's serious tutor in the academy. If he studied with Xu Xi in private

One study, that's fine. Maybe Xu Xi opened a painting class and taught the students as a formal master, and Kang Shilin went to become a student. Isn't that a joke? Although Kang Shilin is an old man, he is not unreliable, but he is not so unreliable.

Bar?

Kang Shilin waved his hand: "She collects tuition fees and says she doesn't have the status of a lecturer."

"Tuition fees?" Mrs. Cui's eyebrows twitched again, "How much do you charge?"

"Three thousand taels."

"Three thousand taels apiece?"

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

"..."

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

Kang Shilin is fooling around, so why is Xu Xi also fooling around? That kid seems to be quite smart and well-behaved, but he looks like he is completely different from the prickly Mr. Kang, okay?

In this era, the scholar-bureaucrats valued morality the most and were ashamed to talk about money. When accepting disciples, they would never specify how many bundles to accept. At most, they would receive some gifts during the holidays. The weight of the gift also depended on the family's background, even if it was a basket.

Cabbage is not too polite.

However, Xu Xi only talked about money, not the identity of the teacher. He took the money to teach painting, but when the time came, he broke up the group, and no one knew anyone after leaving the house.

What is this nonsense?

Kang Shilin has a quick temper. Although the capital is not far from here, it takes half an hour to get back and forth. How can he have the patience to wait?

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

He turned to Mrs. Cui and Shen Feiyang: "You two tell Shang De that she must keep Xu Xi and don't let her enter the messy place of the Capital Women's Academy."

"Zhao Ruxi, my name is Zhao Ruxi now." Mrs. Cui 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.

"Cousin, cousin, wait a minute, my mother will be back soon. If she comes back and sees that you are not here, she will beat me up." Shen Feiyang shouted from behind.

Since Kang Shilin came to teach at Beining Academy, Princess Shangde invited him to visit her home many times, but he was always rejected.

Now Kang Shilin finally came to the house, but he left without even drinking a cup of tea. When his mother came back, she still didn't know how to settle the score with him.

"Beating you is not beating me, so what does it have to do with me?" Kang Shilin walked very fast despite his age.

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

When he got to the door, Kang Shilin was about to get on the carriage, but he noticed something was wrong. He turned around and saw Mrs. Cui following him.

"What are you doing?" Kang Shilin stared and asked, "Don't you stay here and tell the princess about the child?"

"I will also go with you to take a look at Zhao Ruxi's child and advise her." Mrs. Cui said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen will tell the princess what you mean."

Kang Shilin stroked his beard and thought about it, and felt that Mrs. Cui's purpose did not conflict with his. Moreover, with Mrs. Cui here, it would be more convenient for him to see Zhao Ruxi.
