When Zhao Ruxi arrived at the Kang Mansion, she saw that the two senior brothers had not come yet. After giving the invitation to Kang Shilin, she handed over the painting she had painted and several pieces of calligraphy given to her master and senior brothers. The master and apprentice made a good comment on it.

Wuhuai Temple and Gongcheng arrived one after another.

"Although there is no fixed number of Tongzhi in the prefecture, there are usually two. There are two Tongzhi in Nanyang Prefecture. When you go, you will inevitably divide power from them. Tongzhi is responsible for salt, grain, stealing, and river defense.

, maritime border, river engineering, water conservancy, cleaning up military registration, and appeasing the people. You are a female official. It is not easy to leave matters such as catching thieves, river defense, maritime border, cleaning up the military, and appeasing the people to you. Otherwise, you will bully the new champion.

Apart from these, there are only salt, grain, river construction, water conservancy and other matters left."

"And those I excluded earlier are all hard work; only salt and grain are poor. Both of these items need to be accounted for. If the magistrate went to the capital to inquire about your abilities, he would definitely know that you are very good at learning. So among them

It’s totally unjustifiable not to hand over one item to you.”

Hearing this, Gong Cheng, the most honest among the three senior brothers, gave Zhao Ruxi a malicious smile.

Wu Huaisi also smiled and said to Zhao Ruxi with a smile: "In other words, you have directly offended your colleagues before you even go there. Who told you to snatch meat from others' mouths?"

"Hey, senior brother, can you please stop speaking so disgustingly?" Zhao Ruxi wrinkled her nose and scolded.

The two unscrupulous senior brothers suddenly burst into laughter.

As a result, Kang Shilin slapped him on the forehead.

"Are any of you, senior fellow apprentices, like this? If you have any suggestions on how to deal with this, please let me know immediately. Don't try to be too pretentious here." Kang Shilin said.

Both Wu Huaisi and Gong Cheng were used to their master's partiality.

Anyway, when they first joined the master, they were the master's little treasures, doting on everything, and all the good things were his. When the master accepted new disciples, they changed from "treasures" to "grass".

Before the junior sister came in, Wu Zong was a treasure; after the junior sister came in, he also became a piece of grass.

"There really is no fixed way to deal with it." Wu Huaisi risked being slapped again by his master and bravely told the truth, "I can only adapt to circumstances and deal with it according to the situation."

Seeing the master's eyes glaring again, Gong Cheng said quickly: "But officials are not stupid. You, a new female champion, did not enter the Hanlin Academy and were directly sent to foreign posts. They will definitely want to inquire about your background and see if you can

Don't mess with me. Now that I know that our senior brother is Wu Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who dares to mess with you?"

Wu Huaisi rushed to speak: "It doesn't matter even if they are stupid. Let your third senior brother go to Nanyang Prefecture to patrol and let them know your relationship. No matter how brave they are, they will not dare to bully you."

Zhao Ruxi rolled her eyes: "Master, senior brother, don't worry. I will find a way to stand up on my own and try not to cause you any trouble. How can there be any reason to rely on others to be an official in this world? Even if I am a little girl, as you

My little junior sister is not a vegetarian either, so don’t worry.”

Kang Shilin and Wu Huaisi nodded.

Although the junior sister has been protected by them for the past two years, she is really capable and does not need them to worry about her. They still fully recognize Zhao Ruxi's ability. Otherwise, if Zhao Ruxi wants to be released, they will not agree.

If she didn't enter the Hanlin Academy, wouldn't the Ministry of Household Affairs be waiting for her? After a few exchanges between them, Qi Xugu dared to cry in front of the emperor and ask for help.

"Hey, I'm talking about junior sister, why do I feel so awkward hearing this? What's the saying, 'As your junior sister, I'm not a vegetarian'. If you don't become a vegetarian, what does it have to do with me and my junior brother? We are honest people.

"Wu Huaisi thought about it and couldn't help but glare at Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Ruxi was speechless: "Sir, can you be thicker-skinned?" He is so honest! Even honest people should cry.

All joking aside, the two senior brothers still taught Zhao Ruxi their experience.

The next day, Zhao Ruxi prepared a gift and went to Princess Shangde and Mrs. Cui. She could have stopped by when she was looking for He Yuqi that day, but she was not sincere enough to go there, so Zhao Ruxi made a special trip.

After meeting Mrs. Cui, Zhao Ruxi went to meet several masters who had taught her the Four Books and Five Classics. Finally, she stopped Gan Lun who had just finished class in the master's dormitory and gave her a gift.

"What is it?" Gan Lun's eyes lit up when he saw it was an axle cylinder. After entering the door, he quickly opened the cylinder plug and poured out the hanging axle inside.

"It's a word, given to Master to express my gratitude for your teachings." Zhao Ruxi said with a smile.

These days, she is giving away calligraphy works.

Many of these people, not to mention Master Kang Shilin and three senior brothers, were very kind to her. Others such as Peng Guoan, Princess Shang De, Mrs. Cui, Gan Lun and others also helped her a lot.

With so many people, it is not easy to prepare gifts one by one. It is not good to favor one over others. If it is too valuable, the other party will be embarrassed to accept it.

After much deliberation, Zhao Ruxi simply wrote a few words and framed them as hanging scrolls as gifts.

Anyway, her calligraphy is well-known now, but writing is nothing to her who has to practice for several hours every day to get high scores. She always concentrates on practicing calligraphy in order to get high scores, and the works she writes are basically successful. Take it out

There is no problem in giving it away.

No matter whether these calligraphy works are worth money or not, they are given with the same intention. I think everyone will be very happy to see the things she gave.

As expected, everyone who received this gift smiled from ear to ear. The same happened to Gan Lun in front of him at this time.

"Ah, great, great. Is this for me? Let me tell you, if you dare to say no, I have to argue with you." Looking at the calligraphy work in his hand, Gan

Lun started shouting loudly as if he was drunk.

Zhao Ruxi said as if coaxing a child: "It's for you, it's for you. It's meant to be for you. As long as you don't mind my poor handwriting."

"How could it be bad? It's simply great." Gan Lun looked at the hanging scroll again and again, then carefully rolled it up and put it into the barrel.

He motioned Zhao Ruxi to sit down, and he also sat down next to him. He sighed and said, "After your imperial examination papers were posted, Qin Zhe went to see them for two days, and then he stayed behind closed doors. He didn't know why.

I was deeply shocked and embarrassed to go out, but I finally had an epiphany.”

"Ah?" Zhao Ruxi was a little surprised, and then felt very guilty.

If it weren't for Xiao Ruotong's guidance, she would have been obsessed with making her calligraphy as good as Master Mingcang's, going further and further down the wrong path. But after Xiao Ruotong's guidance, her handwriting was even better than that of Xiao Ruotong and her master Qin Zhe.

Okay, that's really embarrassing.

She wanted to express her apology, but she didn't know how. No matter how she did it, it was as if she was just making fun of Qin Zhe.

So she just pretended not to know.
