Mrs. Cui coughed lightly next to her: "There is actually no way."

Kang Shilin stared at Mrs. Cui and said, "Speak quickly, don't show off."

Mrs. Cui looked at him and said seriously: "As long as you accept Zhao Ruxi as your disciple, I guarantee that no one will dare to criticize her."

The room suddenly became very quiet.

Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu were shocked, while Zhao Ruxi was confused - she didn't know Kang Shilin's true identity yet.

Kang Shilin remained silent, stroking his beard and thinking for a moment, then looked at Zhao Ruxi: "Are you willing to be my disciple?"

Zhao Ruxi hesitated.

In this era, it is really "once a teacher, always a father". She has a father now, and it is very likely that he will take care of her in the future. Does she want another father now?

Moreover, she has no idea what kind of character this father is or what his identity is. If she thinks the father is a cheat, can she still return it?

Seeing Zhao Ruxi standing there dumbly and not speaking, Mrs. Zhu suddenly became anxious.

She pushed her daughter and said, "Are you so happy? What are you doing standing there so stupidly? Kowtow to Master quickly." As she said that, she winked at Zhao Ruxi.

The mother and daughter have worked side by side during this period and have already developed a tacit understanding.

With Zhu's blink of an eye, Zhao Ruxi knew that this master was worthy of her, and there must be only advantages and no disadvantages to accepting him as a master. Otherwise, her mother would not be in such a hurry. Her mother would not cheat.

Zhao Ruxi immediately knelt down in front of Kang Shilin and kowtowed three times: "Disciple Zhao Ruxi, pay homage to the master." There is no shame in kowtowing to the father of the benefactor.

"Hey, get up quickly."

Kang Shilin helped Zhao Ruxi up and felt around on his body, trying to find a gift for Zhao Ruxi.

But he is lazy and never likes to carry all kinds of burdens on his body. He only has a jade pendant hanging on his waist.

He thought for a while, then simply took off the jade pendant and handed it to Zhao Ruxi, "Hey, good disciple, this is a meeting gift from Master."

Zhao Yuanxun was startled.

Kang Shilin was a simple-minded person. In his heart, he only cared about painting and paid no attention to other worldly things. The late emperor was an emperor who was full of suspicions and worries. Even his queen and children could not tell him what troubles he had in his heart.

, only Kang Shilin, because there is no conflict of interests, it doesn't matter what you say to him. This guy is very strict, and he never participates in court disputes. If anyone wants to win over him, he will fight back.

Therefore, the late emperor often came to Kang Shilin to drink and chat.

As a result, Kang Shilin received many rewards from the late emperor. Whatever good things the late emperor had, as long as Kang Shilin liked them, he would give them to him.

This jade pendant was very popular with Kang Shilin because of its color, texture and carving work. After the late emperor gave it to him, he has been wearing it for many years. There are no reputable people in the capital who don't recognize this jade pendant.

Now Kang Shilin actually gave this jade pendant to Zhao Ruxi!

With this jade pendant, not only could Zhao Ruxi walk sideways in the capital, at least not many people would dare to mess with her.

Zhao Ruxi didn't know this.

She took the jade pendant and saluted Kang Shilin happily: "Thank you, Master."

When Mrs. Cui saw this scene, she was secretly very happy. Her purpose of coming here was finally achieved.

What about Kang Shilin's disciple, even if she doesn't have a household registration in Beining County? Who dares to talk nonsense about her coming to Beining to study? Aren't you afraid that Mr. Kang will scold him at his door? With this status, Princess Shangde doesn't have to be embarrassed. Someone speaks.

, she can use Mr. Kang as a shield. Handling the matter this way cannot be too perfect.

Everyone is really happy.

Kang Shilin had not accepted a disciple for many years, but now he accepted Zhao Ruxi. Although it was a temporary decision, he was satisfied.

Zhao Ruxi created a new painting method at a young age, and although he had not been studying painting with him for a long time, he could tell that this child was spiritual. The most important thing was that this child was different from those in the capital who were virtuous on the surface but full of small schemes, or The aristocratic girl who learned the rules and became a wooden person is different.

As long as Shu Xiu dared to choke him, dare to glare at him, and dared to accept three thousand taels of silver from him, he felt that he was in line with his temper.

This girl will definitely be a good helper when I quarrel with others in the future.

But these are not the point. The point is...

"Girl, no one dares to dislike you now. When will your painting class start? Can it start tomorrow?" he asked.

"It's no problem. You are my master. You can open it whenever you want." Zhao Ruxi is also good at patting rainbow farts, and her flattery doesn't sound like farts at all.

Kang Shilin was really elated by what she said, and felt more and more that this young apprentice was too satisfied.

"Okay, let's open tomorrow." Kang Shilin said, "Let's set it at the time of application. Let's meet first and let them hand over all the repairs." This is the key point.

Now that the child is our own, the money earned can be considered as our own after rounding off. So naturally, we have to pay the money first and then sell the goods.

He glanced sideways at Mrs. Cui: "If Beining Academy doesn't want you, that would be better. We won't go to Beining in the future. We can just teach directly in my other academy in the capital. We won't be tired from running around. I will also resign from my teaching position in Beining, and while painting with you, I will hand over my skills to you."

"You are my close disciple. You must learn my painting skills to avoid losing my reputation. Don't think too much about the imperial examination. Why is a girl like you taking that exam? It makes you a Should I let you be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister? If you honestly learn to paint from me, you will become a celebrity after all."

The master has failed to protect himself.

Xu Xi smiled and narrowed his eyes, nodding repeatedly: "Yeah, I obey Master in everything." He was so well-behaved.

Kang Shilin smiled and stroked his beard.

This young apprentice really suits his old man's temperament.

Mrs. Cui smiled bitterly and said quickly: "Of course the academy will not want Miss Zhao. Now that Miss Zhao is your disciple, Mr. Kang, you teach there and take a disciple to attend the class. Isn't it right? Who in the capital should do it?" Dare you criticize me? I think Princess Shangde will never have any objection."

Only then did Kang Shilin feel satisfied.

His disciples don't have to go to Beining Academy, but they absolutely cannot be kicked out like this. Doesn't he want to lose face?

Now Beining Academy is wise, otherwise he could scold Princess Shangde's house.

"Okay, let's do that." Kang Shilin stood up and looked at Zhao Ruxi, "Are you okay now? Follow me to your house and meet your senior brothers."

At this time, it is dinner time, and those few should be free.

Upon hearing "several senior brothers", Zhao Yuanxun's body was shaken again.
