Chapter 237 Xiao Ge
Wu Zong babbled through the process of Zhao Ruxi's portrait painting, and said: "Before I went, I was worried that she would be scared after hearing about the case, but the little junior sister didn't even blink, and her face didn't change at all.
Those boys who just entered Dali Temple are much more powerful."
Kang Shilin's beard curled up: "That's right, you don't even know who his apprentice is."
"Master, you have good judgment." Wu Zong's rainbow fart popped out as if it was free of charge.
"Master Zhang immediately wanted my junior sister to enter Dali Temple. My junior sister also understood it and refused immediately. You didn't see the expression on our adults' faces. It's a pity."
Kang Shilin was really amused by these words.
"By the way, Master, I have reached an agreement with Mr. Zhang about teaching painting to various yamen. I also asked him to ask the emperor for an imperial edict to prevent anyone from making irresponsible remarks about the little junior sister's collection of money. Mr. Zhang
You have already entered the palace, and maybe someone from the palace or your home will come looking for you soon."
When Kang Shilin heard this, he nodded and said, "Then you must come to me."
Now that Zhao Ruxi was his disciple, Xiao Ge would never dare to go beyond him and issue an imperial edict to Zhao Ruxi without his consent. That would be just asking for trouble.
Sure enough, as soon as the two of them ordered their subordinates to move the easel into the house, the Kang family's housekeeper came: "Old Master, the emperor has announced your entry into the palace. I am here to take you back to the capital."
"Okay, let's go." Kang Shilin said simply.
When Kang Shilin entered the palace, Xiao Ge personally greeted him when he heard that he was coming. He went to the soft couch and sat face to face with him.
Xiao Ge personally brought another plate of snacks, placed it in front of Kang Shilin, and said to him: "Cousin, you agreed to eat this snack last time. I asked the imperial chef to make it for you. You can try it. If you eat well,
I’ll have a servant take a box back later.”
Kang Shilin was very pleased to see Xiao Ge not saying "I" in front of him, but still acting so diligently.
He picked up a piece of snack and put it into his mouth, tasted it, nodded and said, "Not bad."
A smile appeared on Xiao Ge's face, he pushed the tea cup to him, and then said: "You have accepted a disciple. If Zhang Changshen hadn't come to tell me, I wouldn't have known about it. I also learned from you when I was a child.
Although I am not talented enough in painting and have always been disliked by you and cannot be listed on the door wall, I am still your disciple after all. You have a new junior sister, and as a senior brother, I have to give her a greeting gift."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the eunuch brought up a small exquisite box.
Kang Shilin felt like a mirror in his heart. What Xiao Ge said sounded nice. What kind of meeting gift does a senior brother give to a younger junior sister? Damn it! It was just a reward for inviting Zhao Ruxi to come out and teach the officials how to paint.
The matter of getting money and goods is now put in another way, so I acted like a good boy in front of him, and got two favors from him and the girl for free. The emperor is indeed not a good bird, and he has too many tricks.
At this time, the eunuch had opened the box and handed it to Kang Shilin. Kang Shilin saw a piece of paper inside, picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was the deed of a shop. He nodded with satisfaction and smiled on his face.
"Yes, your junior sister will definitely like this meeting gift." He said.
If the box contains gold and silver jewelry or jade antiques, then he will definitely fall out with Xiao Ge. Who are you trying to fool by offering that thing?
Things given by the palace are all marked and registered. No matter how valuable these things are, they cannot be bought or sold.
No matter what, once it cannot be cashed, it is a dead thing and worthless. However, you have to keep it carefully. If it is dropped, knocked, or stolen, you will have to be held accountable, which is simply a trouble.
That thing was useless except for glory. Anyway, Kang Shilin didn't like this kind of thing the least.
The shop is very good. Even if you can't buy or sell it, and you don't do business yourself, you can just rent it out and make money every month. This is a sincere gift.
Because of the relationship with the late emperor, Xiao Ge spent more time with Kang Shilin than his own uncle. Kang Shilin often carried the young boy on his back and took him out of the palace to play.
The most important thing is that Kang Shilin's temperament is particularly satisfying to be an emperor - he never acts recklessly on the basis of his status, and never criticizes things in the court. But if you really do something stupid, he can come and correct you.
A slap in the face wakes you up.
So not only did the late emperor like to chat and drink with Kang Shilin, but Xiao Ge was also very close to his cousin.
Now seeing that Kang Shilin was satisfied, Xiao Ge was also very happy. He poured him a cup of tea himself, chatted with him for a few words, and then turned to the main topic.
"I heard from Zhang Changshen that my junior sister's painting method is very practical and will be of great use to the court in catching criminals. I want her to teach the officials in the Yamen how to paint. Can you please take a look at it?"
"That girl has suffered a lot since she was born. It's all because of Wei Qiu's goddaughter. I wanted her to buy a farm in Wei Qiu, but the Pingnan Marquis Mansion snatched it away. To be honest, I was very angry.
very angry."
Having said this, Kang Shilin picked up the tea cup and took two sips, as if he needed water to quench the anger in his heart.
Xiao Ge quickly poured him another glass and said, "I have already reprimanded Fu Yun. He will go to apologize to you in a while and return the farm to the little junior sister."
"What kind of apology did you give me? It's not like you were robbing me of my farm." Kang Shilin said, "I don't want the farm either. Otherwise, the generals would say that we were robbing the Fu family, and that girl wouldn't be able to bear it."
"Okay, then I'll apologize to my little junior sister." Xiao Ge said in a good tone, "You can actually still get the farmhouse. It was snatched away by the Fu family. Now I'll help you snatch it back. If you don't accept it, wouldn't I be embarrassed?
Take it. Once Wei Qiu's incident comes out, the courtiers will probably have to live with their tails between their legs. It will be difficult to get the farm shop of the prisoner in the short term. Why should we have trouble with money, don't you think? You still say this
What you taught me."
"Tsk, you emperors are good at talking!" Kang Shilin glanced at him sideways, "How do you think I don't know? If I don't take over this farm, the Fu family will be put on the fire and unable to get off. You help the Fu family?
Are you talking and want to sell me a favor? Do you think I’m stupid?”
"Hahaha, you are still so clear-sighted, how can I dare to play tricks in front of you? You are telling the truth." Xiao Ge said haha without blushing.
"Then I, Old Kang, will give you face and take over this farm." Kang Shilin finally gave him a step up.
"Thank you, cousin." Xiao Ge was overjoyed and quickly and diligently pushed the snack plate over, "As you know, I seem to be a noble person, but in fact, I still have to look at the faces of the courtiers all day long.
It’s difficult for me too.”
He sighed: "Let's just talk about Ping Nanhou. He is brave, good at fighting, brave and resourceful. He is indeed a rare talent. But you see, he never reached out to Dali Temple before. This time, let Fu Yunlang
