The direct branch must have at least two sons before one of them can be safely allowed to join the army and go to the battlefield. If the man who goes to the battlefield cannot come back, this huge Suiping Marquis Mansion will not be taken away by the common branch.

The children of the direct descendants are working hard for the future of the Hou family, while the children of the concubine are waiting to take advantage of the situation. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

This is also the reason why Zhao Yuanxun loved the great lady and accepted her as a concubine, and the eldest lady also tacitly allowed the old lady to arrange a concubine for him.

Their direct descendants must have sons, at least two.

Everyone was overjoyed to have Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jingtai. So they carefully taught Zhao Jingli and prepared to devote all their family efforts to help him find a career in the army when he turned sixteen.

Position.

The reason why the old lady, the eldest lady and Zhao Yuanxun were so miserable when they first knew that the child was carried by the wrong child was not only reluctant to part with Zhao Jingli who had raised her carefully, but also for this reason.

Now that all the children have returned to their original positions, only Zhao Jingtai is the only male left in the direct lineage. No matter what the reason is, they cannot allow such an independent child to serve in the army and endure hardships and risks.

Then Zhao Jingtai's future becomes a problem.

He is a prince, a noble, and has a title, so it is impossible for him to take part in the imperial examination.

If he doesn't take the imperial examination and can't join the army as a general, what else can he do?

The Suiping Mansion can only wait for its decline.

But now Zhao Ruxi worships Kang Shilin as his teacher, giving them hope.

Gong Cheng and Wu Zong were both descendants of noble families. Because they were good at painting, the officialdom needed people with such skills, so they entered the officialdom.

If they have the ability, their family invests resources in cultivating them, and they have a master like Kang Shilin and a senior brother like Wu Huaisi, their career is destined to be smoother than that of ordinary people.

Kang Shilin accepted Zhao Ruxi as his disciple because he was interested in her talent and aura. Naturally, the Suiping Hou Mansion could not expect Zhao Jingtai to become his teacher. But Zhao Jingtai could learn painting from his sister.

Not to mention becoming a great master, you only need to become a person with painting expertise like Gong Cheng and Wu Zong. It is not difficult for Zhao Yuanxun to find a practical position for him through his relatives and friends in the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of War, and Dali Temple.

.

When they saw Zhao Ruxi's paintings before, they didn't think much about it. They just thought it was normal and didn't think about letting Zhao Jingtai learn painting from her sister.

While they were overjoyed that Kang Shilin had accepted a disciple, they also saw the broad road ahead of Zhao Jingtai.

"Mom, everything will be fine. Not only did Sister Xi become a disciple of Master Kumu, Brother Tai also received praise from Master Wu this morning. After such a thing happened, the child has grown up and become sensible.

, I know I have to work hard.”

Zhao Jingtai was looking at Zhao Ruxi with shining eyes of admiration. When his mother suddenly praised him, he scratched his head and suddenly felt embarrassed.

Compared with his sister, he is really far behind.

"Okay, okay." The old lady let out a long breath, "Brother Tai, study hard and learn painting from your sister. When you grow up, your family will arrange an errand for you. If you have an errand,

, and if you are willing to make progress, your future will definitely be good.”

"Yes, grandma." Zhao Jingtai stood up and responded.

The old lady turned to Zhao Ruxi again: "Sister Xi, are you right?"

The eldest lady glanced at Zhao Ruxi and winked at her, indicating that she would agree for the time being to make the old lady happy.

Zhao Ruxi understood and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry. Not to mention my master, my senior brothers are very powerful. My second senior brother is in the Ministry of Industry and my third senior brother is in Dali Temple. They must be short of manpower. If Tai

My brother is willing to learn painting from me, and if he learns well, it won’t be a problem to find a job related to painting.”

"Okay, okay." The old lady was greatly relieved after hearing this.

While his father was telling his grandmother how he went to Kangfu to become a disciple, Zhao Jingtai whispered to Zhao Ruxi: "Sister, you are so awesome."

The child has a simple mind. Although he has a good relationship with Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jing'an, the Wei family exchanged Zhao Jingli and Zhao Ruxi just to let Zhao Jingli steal his throne. Zhao Jingtai's mother was so vicious, which made him immediately treat his two brothers.

From liking it to hating it.

Recently, he didn't want to see his two brothers.

When his father and sister didn't come back just now, his grandmother and mother told him how miserable the fifth sister had been in the countryside. Zhao Jingtai felt sympathy for her, and felt a desire to be close to and protect her biological sister.

Now that he knew how powerful his sister was, his admiration for his two brothers, Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jing'an, quickly transferred to Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Jingtai Xiong is a bit bearish, but he is very good-looking, and his appearance is more like Zhu's. And this is his biological brother. Zhao Ruxi was an only child in her previous life, and she always hoped to have a younger brother or younger sister. Now that she sees this younger brother, she feels very sad.

Close.

Seeing Zhao Jingtai's chubby little face, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to rub his head and asked, "Do you like painting? When I'm free, can I teach you how to paint?"

Zhao Jingtai nodded vigorously: "Okay."

After the family had dinner and came out of Ronxi Hall, Zhao Ruxi and the three eldest ladies separated.

Xiuzhuyuan has not been cleaned up yet, and she is still living in Pinming Juli.

Autumn got dark quickly, and they ate late. By this time, the sky was completely dark. Qing Feng and Dian Jiang carried lanterns, one on the left and one on the right, surrounding Zhao Ruxi as they walked forward. Suddenly, a figure appeared in the darkness, which frightened Dian Jiang.

Jump.

"Fifth sister, it's me." Zhao Ruyu said quickly.

Zhao Ruxi frowned and looked at her, then looked behind her, and found Fu Shu standing far away with a lantern, looking here alertly.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

"Can I have a few words with you alone?"

Zhao Ruxi glanced at her and walked forward: "Come in and talk."

"Just say it outside here, say a few words and I'll leave." Zhao Ruyu insisted.

"I have nothing to say to anyone. If Sixth Sister insists on asking me to leave the maids to talk to you in this dark place, I will suspect that you are resentful of me because of your mother's affairs and want to do something bad." Zhao Ruxi said coldly.

road.

These are troubled times, and Grandma Yuan was ordered by the eldest lady to pay more attention to the girl's safety. She had not seen Zhao Ruxi and the others in the house for a long time, and was holding a lantern to pick them up. As soon as she went out, she heard Zhao Ruxi's words.

She immediately protected Zhao Ruxi like an old chicken protecting a young chicken, and said sternly: "Miss Six, what do you want to do?"

When Zhao Ruyu returned home, she thought about it and felt uneasy. She really just came here to say a few words to Zhao Ruxi.

Seeing the misunderstanding between Zhao Ruxi and Aunt Yuan, she waved her hands quickly: "I don't mean any harm, really. The Wei family is not good to me, why should I blame you for her? Do I think my life is too long? I just have a few
