There are five painting teachers in Chunhui Academy. They are the only full-time painting teachers in the entire Qingxi Academy, and they are in charge of almost all painting classes in the Men's Academy and the Women's Academy.

   It sounds like the course is heavy, but it’s not.

   In the men's college of Qingxi Academy, the students of the three levels of the initiation class did not have the painting course.

Grades 1 to 4 must take painting classes. Students at this stage are generally between the ages of nine and fourteen. Unfortunately, their painting classes are usually part-time by teachers from other subjects in the class. There is only one class in ten days, and it only teaches some basic knowledge, which is extremely easy.

   And students from grades 5 to 8 are no longer required to take courses such as painting and rhythm, and these auxiliary courses have all become elective courses.

   Students must take a certain amount of credits in each elective course each year, which ensures the development of these subjects to a certain extent.

  However, very few people will choose the art of painting, which is a time-consuming and labor-intensive course, unless they are really interested or good at it.

  Under such circumstances, the teacher in charge of teaching the elective course of painting art in Chunhui Academy can only imagine how aggrieved it was.

  It was only after the women's school reopened that Chunhui Academy became lively again.

   Therefore, these five gentlemen are very grateful to Li Baolu who can bring about this kind of change. Therefore, as soon as the academy said they wanted them to stay and work overtime during the winter vacation, they agreed.

   is not only to repay Li Baolu, but also because they saw the opportunity for the development of the art society.

   Only when the skills they teach are affirmed and valued can they be reused.

   It is very satisfying to be able to show that what you have learned in a lifetime, not to mention the overtime work and double the Shushu Na, the five gentlemen are very satisfied with this.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, we have reviewed all the paintings handed in now, and put away the paintings that have passed. We will teach the janitors to return the ones that fail. I'm afraid there will be more paintings handed in after the year. Come back in five for review, and once the number exceeds the data you set, you will be notified immediately.”

  Li Baolu bowed respectfully, "Thank you, gentlemen."

"Mr. Li is polite, it should be us thanking you. I'm afraid that the number of students who choose painting arts will increase sharply during the new year. It is our greatest wish to teach a few more students." A teacher glanced at the sky outside. He smiled and said: "Mr. Li, it's not too early, you have been staying in the academy these days, I'm afraid you have accumulated a lot of things at home, it's already twenty-eight, you'd better go home first, we also There's just some finishing touches left."

   "Then it's going to be hard for the gentlemen." Li Baolu knew that they had different subjects, and that she would make them feel a little uncomfortable staying here, so she didn't force it, she just got up and said goodbye.

  Beside the gate of the academy, Erlin was rubbing his hands and stomping his feet. When he saw his wife coming out, he hurried up to meet her, "Madam, you are out."

  Li Baolu asked as he walked towards the carriage, "How long have you been here?"

   Erlin said vaguely: "It's not long since we arrived..." He was about to say something, but the curtains of the car had already been lifted, and Gu Jingyun stuck his head out to look at them.

  Li Baolu was shocked when she saw Gu Jingyun, "Why are you here?"

   "I'll take you home by the way." Gu Jingyun walked out of the carriage, stretched out his hand to pull her into the car, and asked with a smile, "Can we have a good year now?"

"Everything's done, I'll be at home with you from tomorrow." Li Baolu pushed him into the carriage, and saw that the couch was covered with a thick mattress and a blanket on the side, and at a glance he knew that he brought it Covering her legs, she touched his hand and saw that it was hot, she was relieved and said happily: "Let's eat a hot pot at night, the venison sent by the Prince's Mansion has not been finished yet, let's go buy some mutton. Come back, share the pot and eat."

  Gu Jingyun nodded with a smile, "Okay."

Li Baolu tucked her slightly cold hand into his, leaned against him to keep warm, and exhaled comfortably, "I've been busy these days, and I haven't been able to eat well, so I've decided that starting tonight, I'll have a good meal. Eat hard, no matter what, you have to eat back the food from the past few days."

  Gu Jingyun stared at the baby fat on her face without saying a word.

  Li Baolu touched her face and asked, "Do you think I've lost weight too?"

  Gu Jingyun couldn't bear to tell the truth, changed the subject and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"That's a lot. Tonight, I will eat sliced ​​mutton and venison, then stir-fried turtledove, braised lamb loin, and lion's head with crab powder. Oh, yes, you like vegetarian food, no one sent it from our village. What about fresh vegetables? We also scald them at night," Li Baolu said regretfully, "It's a pity that there are no mushrooms now, otherwise it would be delicious to scald them in a hot pot."

   "Even when there is a lot of rain in spring and autumn, fresh mushrooms are hard to eat."

  Li Baolu expressed his understanding, because there was no mushroom cultivation in this era, and such things are wild, but they are easy to find every year when it is rainy in spring, summer and autumn.

  Li Baolu touched her chin and said, "If only I could grow it myself."

   "It's very difficult. This year, Zhuangzi worked so hard to build a greenhouse, but the vegetables we planted can't even be supplied to our house, and the money spent is enough to buy a house full of vegetables."

   Li Baolu said indifferently: "This is research funding. To develop technology, spending is necessary. It's fine. We will earn it back when they can efficiently grow vegetables."

  Gu Jingyun glanced at her helplessly, and after thinking about it, he still didn't tell her that even if the vegetables were expensive in winter, they weren't so expensive that they could go back to the warm house.

  Which of those rich and noble families does not have one or two villages in the suburbs of Beijing, and whose village does not have a warm shed?

  Li Baolu's greenhouse only grows melons, fruits and vegetables, which also reduces production, but people's greenhouses can even feed delicate flowers, so people still seldom grow vegetables from the greenhouses?

   But seeing that she seemed to be very interested in it, he didn't mention it any more. Forget it, if the greenhouse vegetables are really high-yield, there is still him who can't sell them. If he can't finish eating them, he will give them away. Right as a favor.

   "We're going to give my uncle a New Year's gift tomorrow, and by the way, I'll bring my mother and master back." Gu Jingyun had arranged for someone to send the New Year's gift from other families, but the one from Qin's house had not yet delivered it.

Gu Jingyun reserved the plan for the couple to send them off together, and on New Year's Eve, they were going to enter the palace for the palace banquet. According to convention, the palace banquet was from Shenzheng (4:00 pm) to Xuzheng (8:00 pm), and the official was only after leaving the palace. New Year's Vigil with family.

   Of course, not all officials have the qualifications to enter the palace, only officials of the third rank and above.

  Gu Jingyun is not included in this list, but neither the late emperor nor the present will leave him, because he also has another identity - the teacher of the prince.

  Li Baolu, as his wife, has to enter the palace without special circumstances.

   Gu Jingyun is still like this, not to mention Qin Xinfang and He Zipei, these two must enter the palace.

   But Niuniu was still young, so He Zipei didn't dare to carry her into the palace in a cold weather, so he could only entrust it to Qin Wenyin.

Unfortunately, Bai Yitang lives in the Qin Mansion. Once Qin Xinfang and He Zipei entered the palace, the servants ignored them, leaving a little boy and a pair of lonely boys and girls in the family. Not to mention Qin Xinfang, he always created opportunities for Master. Gu Jingyun would not let them fall into this category.

   So Gu Jingyun made an agreement with Qin Xinfang early, that Qin Wenyin and Bai Yitang would be picked up to go back to the house tomorrow, and they would take care of the place where they lived first, and they would bring Niuniu to Qin Wenyin on the 30th day.

   The four entered the palace together again, and when the palace banquet was over, they would look back at the palace together and celebrate the New Year together.

   The next day, Qin Xinfang took his wife and daughter back to worship their ancestors.

   The two families are as close as one family, and they don’t care where they celebrate the New Year, but other families in the capital have to care.

   In the past two weeks, the royal family has given more and more rewards to Gu Jingyun, far exceeding the first assistant Peng Dan and the four cabinets, including Qin Xinfang.

  Everyone has already believed that the emperor wants to reuse Gu Jingyun, and most of the holy metaphors will be released on New Year's Eve or after the year.

   Under such circumstances, Gu Mansion naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

   From the time Gu Jingyun started asking his family to give New Year gifts, everyone stared at Gu Mansion with a bit of excitement.

  Gu Jingyun and Zhongyonghou Mansion split up, but they are bound by blood, so there is no way they can overcome this hurdle.

   Last year he was not in the capital, so he didn't need to give the New Year's gift to the Marquis of Zhongyong. This year, they didn't even communicate with each other. When Marquis of Zhongyong and Gu Jingyun went to court at the same time, they would also subconsciously avoid each other and never see each other.

   Can you avoid this New Year's Eve?

   So everyone is watching.

   As soon as the new year is over, Erlin will send the New Year's gift from the Houfu of Zhongyong.

His family is weak, his assets are meager, and he has almost no additional income except for rewards. This is a common message known to outsiders, so Gu Jingyun did not slap his face as a fat man. Go to Zhongyonghou Mansion.

   The New Year’s gift that Gu’s residence needs to send is limited. Apart from Gu Jingyun’s colleagues and the couple’s better colleagues in the academy, they only have some relatives and friends.

  For example, the Qin Mansion, such as some old friends of Qin Wenyin, such as the Li family living in Liuer Hutong.

Except for the Qin mansion, the rest of the families are all gifts given by the servants of the family. Before seeing the gifts given to the Qin family, no one felt that there was a problem with the gifts Gu Jingyun sent to the Hou Zhongyong mansion. Although it was a little thin, But it is equivalent to his current identity and assets.

But on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu personally delivered the New Year's gift to the Qin mansion. Although everyone didn't see the contents in the box, it was only based on the number of them. Besides, the owner was escorted by the owner himself. The grades are different.

   So those who found fault were excited, and they all wanted to see the reaction of the Marquis of Zhongyong.

  The reaction of the Zhongyonghou mansion was that there was no response. Some people were unwilling and could not help but jumped out to provoke one or two, trying to let the people of the Zhongyonghou mansion come out to provoke trouble.

   They naturally did not dare to jump in front of Marquis Zhongyong. Gu Huaijin had already been escorted back to his hometown, and now there are only two older brothers left in the capital.

   So the prince of Zhongyong Houfu and the second master received several invitations when they were the busiest years ago, and they all invited them out to drink and have fun.

  The two went away because they were not good at offending others. After they went, they came back with a black face.

   I really thought they were fools and provoked them to run out and pick things up. In the end, the benefits were lost, but instead they were just plain talkative.

   They didn't take care of Gu Jingyun and Qin Wenyin, and now they are not as powerful as others. Even the most promising third child was sent back to their hometown by their father. How stupid are they to provoke Gu Jingyun?

  Who is willing to go, anyway, now the Houfu of Zhongyong doesn't want to have anything to do with Gu Jingyun.

Marquis Zhongyong looked at everything, and felt sad and sad in his heart. He was so sad that the Gu family had fallen so far. Anyone could come up to calculate and step on their feet. Although his two sons did not cause trouble, they also lost their ambition. His two most proud grandsons, one regards the Gu family as an enemy, and the other loses his fighting spirit and would rather stay in his hometown than go back to Beijing to study.

   With the Gu family on the verge of decline, how could the Marquis of Zhongyong not be sad and sad?
