He said sourly: "Master, when you have a new apprentice, you despise the old one. My heart has been broken by you, do you know?"

"Go away." Kang Shilin didn't even look at him, "If you are stupid, you have to be self-aware. Your brain is far worse than that of your junior sister. You couldn't teach it no matter how you taught it back then. Why don't you hide aside and don't call anyone else?"

I saw it and you ran out to bother me. Are you looking for a slap in the face?"

Zhao Ruxi burst out laughing, gave her senior brother a sympathetic look, and at the same time said, "It's okay, senior brother, I don't dislike you."

Wu Zong took two steps back holding his wounded heart, his face full of despair.

After Kang Shilin finished giving instructions to Zhao Ruxi, he asked Zhao Ruxi for advice on the problems encountered in sketching, and said: "Master Zhang told me the conditions you told Mr. Zhang, and asked me to find a suitable house for you."

He pointed to the house on the left: "I happened to buy a villa right next to my master. It's right next door and there are quite a lot of houses. Otherwise, you can teach those people how to paint in my house.

When the time comes, Dali Temple will give me some rent. This way, it will be convenient for you to give me guidance back and forth. You don’t have to wait for us to learn it, and you can directly call people to teach."

"Really? That's great." Zhao Ruxi said in surprise.

She was very grateful: "Senior brother, thank you very much."

There are so many places in the capital, but Wu Zong provided such a place to Zhang Changshen, just for her convenience. Compared with letting people live there and making the house a mess, the rent is nothing to Wu Zong, and it may even outweigh the gain.

.

He did this all for her own good.

Wu Zong waved his hand: "You don't need to thank me, just thank Master. I am doing this to please Master, lest he dislike us and forget us in the corner. Isn't that right, Master?"

He shyly approached Kang Shilin and played tricks.

Kang Shilin did not scold him this time, but stretched out his hand to touch his head kindly, and praised him cooperatively: "This is a good job. When master is free, I will find a good inkstone for you."

"Hey, thank you, Master." Wu Zong smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Zhao Ruxi watched from the side as the master and apprentice sang in harmony, covering her mouth in joy.

"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and draw." Kang Shilin slapped her on the head.

Zhao Ruxi quickly concentrated on painting.

On this day, she stayed in the painting academy for an entire afternoon. After everyone went back, she followed Kang Shilin and Wu Zong to see the yard next door, and found that the layout inside was different from Kang Shilin's.

The courtyard on Kang Shilin's side was very stylish, so there weren't many houses. It was all about gardens, pavilions, terraces, ponds and other scenery. On the other hand, Wu Zong's side was like a family residence, divided into courtyards, and there were no gardens.

.

"Actually, when Master and I bought a house, Master's place was similar to mine. Later, his old man came to Beining to teach and wanted to rest here. He might even stay here when he was too lazy to run, so he packed it up.

Once, I asked people to demolish the house and build a garden, making it what it is now." Wu Zong explained.

"Oh, you are so willful when you have money." Zhao Ruxi sighed.

If only she were so rich.

Wu Zong said with a smile: "As my junior sister said, you are not poor now, right? You have a farm and a shop, and you still have two to thirty thousand taels of cash on hand. When the painting class in Dali Temple is started,

You can still have a lot of money. Master and I have accumulated it over the years. You have made so much money in just a short time, which is amazing."

"No." Kang Shilin walked around the yard and came back, and happened to hear Wu Zong's words.

"Girl, your father doesn't have as much money as you, right? Your Suiping uncle's house seems to have a house with some shops and fields, but not much, and you have to support a whole house. Girl, you have to take good care of your money.

Don't just use your money to support the servants in your house. It's your father's business to support the family, and he doesn't need you."

Hearing this, Wu Zong couldn't help but glance at Zhao Ruxi.

His master was very protective of others and was always afraid that they would suffer in the family. However, they were not close to each other. If Zhao Ruxi did not understand her master's love and care, she might feel resentful.

Fortunately, when the little junior sister heard this, she laughed and ran over to the master and said affectionately: "Master, don't worry, I know everything. You asked me to handle the shop and farm in my name, and I will also take care of the banknotes."

Keep it. I’m going to open a bank in a while.”

As she spoke, she sighed: "I am not short of money now, but I am most in need of manpower. There are not many servants in our house who can do anything, and I don't want to get involved with my own business."

If it weren't for Kang Shilin's protectiveness, she wouldn't have been able to say this to him.

In ancient times, filial piety was used to rule the world, so people in this era were somewhat foolish and filial. Even if they were not foolish and filial in their hearts, their words and deeds could not bring out any disrespect for their parents, because it did not conform to the three views of this era.

When parents are here, they should not buy private property. This is the most basic respect for parents.

What was rare was that Kang Shilin protected these disciples like chickens, so she dared to tell her master what was in her heart.

Kang Shilin stroked his beard and said, "There's no other way. You can only ask the broker to help you find it slowly."

"By the way." Wu Zong interjected from the side, "Sun Jiawang, do you still remember?"

Zhao Ruxi was stunned and didn't understand why his senior brother mentioned him. He nodded and said, "Remember. His case hasn't been solved yet, right?"

"The portrait has been sent to Yangzhou immediately. I haven't received a reply yet. It will take some time to find someone." Wu Zongdao said, "When the case is settled, do you want to buy Sun Jiawang? Sun Jiawang knows that I am your senior brother, so he asked secretly.

Go to me and tell me what will happen to him after the case is closed. When he learned that Dali Temple was going to buy him from a middleman, he said he wanted to follow you."

"Why?" Zhao Ruxi said, touching her face.

Could it be that the mentally retarded guy gave her beauty pills while she was asleep? She went to Dali Temple and not only fascinated Fu Yunkai, but also Sun Jiawang. So now she has a face that is alluring.

?

The system immediately popped up and complained: "I didn't see the face of the heartthrob, I only saw a big face. The kind where there is only one mouth left in the sky and on the earth."

Zhao Ruxi: "..." This guy actually learned how to speculate and sell now?

Wu Zong was also confused, shook his head, and said uncertainly: "Maybe... you look so kind?"

"Brother, what's the matter with that confused look in your eyes?" Zhao Ruxi ignored the system and yelled at Wu Zong dissatisfied, "Isn't this a fact? It must be because I have a kind face, he thought

Find a good master."

Then she nodded firmly: "Well, that's it."
