"Master, when will the test results come out?" Zhao Ruxi asked.

Mrs. Cui felt a little uncomfortable when she mentioned this matter.

She said: "There are not many students, so I can probably finish correcting the test papers today; it won't be until tomorrow at the latest."

Although the Beijing Women's Academy is much better than Beining in terms of teaching staff and students' original academic foundation. However, because the noble girls stood at a high position from the beginning, coupled with the constraints of the family, they could not control their own destiny, so they participated in the imperial examination

There are also very few people.

Even if there are those who participate, they just want to prove that their talents and learning are not inferior to men, and want to win the reputation of a talented girl in the capital, so as to increase their bargaining chips for marriage.

As long as the person correcting the paper is not lazy, he or she can correct the paper in an hour instead of a day.

Zhao Ruxi nodded: "Okay, I understand. If there's nothing else to do, I'll leave."

Mrs. Cui nodded and looked at Zhao Ruxi, but hesitated to speak.

Zhao Ruxi guessed what she wanted to say.

Mrs. Cui said yesterday out of guilt that she should go to Beijing Women's College, but she was definitely not willing to let her go. But if Zhao Ruxi risked offending Concubine Jin and wanted to stay in Beining Women's College, Mrs. Cui would not let her go to Beining Women's College no matter what.

She couldn't speak out, that's why she was so confused.

Naturally, Zhao Ruxi would not promise anything just to comfort Mrs. Cui.

Bac Ninh Girls' College helped her a lot. Not to mention the care Mrs. Cui and others took for her, she met her master here and asked him to accept her as a disciple. She was very grateful to the college and Mrs. Cui.

She is not afraid of offending Concubine Jin either.

Because of her master's relationship and because the emperor took the picture of her, she is now considered a person registered in front of the emperor. For the sake of her reputation in front of the emperor, Concubine Jin did not dare to do anything to her openly.

At most, it's just a little stumbling; when she's doing something, let people embarrass her and cause her trouble.

For the sake of Beining Women's College and Mrs. Cui's kindness to her, she is willing to bear this trouble.

But what she is doing now is not an ordinary thing. Once she is deliberately targeted, the secrets she hides will most likely be discovered.

Although the parts made in her workshop are made of several things mixed with each other, as long as you take apart the clock auctioned and compare the parts inside with the parts in her workshop, you can find that the clock auctioned by the auction house is

Made in her workshop.

In this way, her relationship with Xiao Lingyan is likely to be exposed.

By then, Concubine Jin wouldn't have targeted her because she didn't like her, and had slightly set her up. The prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince would definitely put her and her family to death. They might even be involved.

Master, brothers.

"A little impatience will ruin a big plan", which is the situation she is facing now.

Therefore, if it is not necessary, at this stage, she will not confront Concubine Jin head-on. It is not worth getting into big trouble over such a trivial matter as whether to go to the Capital Girls' School or not.

She bowed to Mrs. Cui and got into the carriage.

After returning to the capital, Zhao Ruxi did not go home, but went directly to Kang Mansion.

Kang Shilin is getting older. Now that the weather is cold and snowy, the roads are slippery. Kang Yannian and the others are unwilling to let the old man go out, because they are worried that his body will not be able to bear it and that he will have an accident.

Kang Shilin asked for leave from the academy. If not necessary, he would stay at home.

But he was not lonely. People from the art academy came to discuss painting techniques with him from time to time, and his four apprentices also often visited him.

In order to accompany her master, Zhao Ruxi even moved her painting practice place to her master's studio, painting here for half an hour every day before going home.

When you arrive at Kang Mansion, there is no need to notify you, the concierge will let you in directly.

Kang Shilin's studio was in the outer courtyard, not far from the gate. Zhao Ruxi went there by familiar means and saw Wu Zong was there, standing behind Kang Shilin and watching him paint.

Zhao Ruxi said "hiss" to the servants in the room, walked to Wu Zong and waved his hand gently to him, then stood there and watched Kang Shilin paint.

Kang Shilin's painting was coming to an end. Not long after Zhao Ruxi arrived, he stopped writing.

"Master, your painting is really good." Zhao Ruxi praised it sincerely.

Kang Shilin's previous paintings were full of fairy spirit, but this painting broke through his original style.

If we say that the landscapes in his paintings before only existed in dreams, which were hard to grasp and touch, and were ethereal; now, although the landscapes in his paintings also have a fairy spirit, they have the weight and vicissitudes of reality and have a foundation.

, makes people want to explore, and can touch people's hearts even more.

Wu Zong nodded.

He prefers Master's current style.

Kang Shilin patted Zhao Ruxi on the head: "Under your influence."

During this time, Zhao Ruxi came to Kang's house to paint. He did not continue to paint the entire painting, but still practiced various painting techniques. Kang Shilin watched from the side, deeply inspired, and tried to change his style.

Unexpectedly, there was a new breakthrough.

Kang Shilin looked at his painting with satisfaction.

He established his own painting style when he was forty years old. More than twenty years later, although his paintings in this style are very proficient, he will get bored after painting for a long time.

He would like to change his style, but how can it be that easy?

Unexpectedly, I accepted a young apprentice and suddenly had a breakthrough in painting.

Kang Shilin felt that he did not have much ability to teach his apprentices, but he benefited a lot from his young apprentices.

He stroked his beard and said: "Zhiwei, if you choose one of my paintings, it will be the master's thank you."

If it were given to someone else, Zhao Ruxi would definitely not be able to take it.

Master, senior brother treated her very well, which cannot be measured by interests.

But she really liked the master's paintings. Now the master finally let go, and she didn't want to miss it.

As if she was afraid that Kang Shilin would regret it, she bowed curtly: "Thank you, Master."

This reaction and speed made both Kang Shilin and Wu Zong laugh.

Zhao Ruxi didn't care and looked at Kang Shilin with bright eyes: "Master, can I choose now?"

"Go pick it!" Kang Shilin waved his hand and said cheerfully.

Zhao Ruxi happily followed Kang Shilin into the painting studio and unceremoniously extended his claws to Kang Shilin's most proud painting.

"Little junior sister, you..." Wu Zong was so jealous that his eyes turned red.

He wanted it too, and he also liked this painting very much. He especially wanted to win Master's favor one day and be able to ask Master for this painting.

But I didn't expect that my junior sister would get on board first.

He felt so heartbroken!

Although the little junior sister is very cute, compared with the master's paintings, this little brother-sister relationship is nothing.

He turned to look at Kang Shilin.

The emperor asked for this painting, but the master didn't even give it to him. He didn't believe that the master would be willing to give it to his junior sister.

"Sure, you can take it." Although Kang Shilin was a little reluctant to part with it, he still said boldly.

"Ah ah ah, Master, you are so kind."
