There are five painting art teachers in Chunhui Academy, and they are the only full-time painting art teachers in Qingxi Academy, and they are responsible for almost all the painting classes in the Boys' and Women's Academy.

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

In the men's college of Qingxi Academy, students in the three grades of the elementary class did not have the course of painting.

Grades 1 to 4 must take painting classes. Students at this stage are usually 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 only some basic knowledge is taught, which is extremely relaxed.

However, students from the fifth to eighth grades are no longer required to take courses such as painting art and temperament, and all these auxiliary courses have become elective courses.

Students must take a certain amount of credits for elective courses every year, which guarantees the development of these subjects to a certain extent.

However, few people will choose painting, which is a time-consuming and energy-consuming course, unless they are really interested or good at it.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine how frustrated the teacher in Chunhui Academy who is in charge of teaching the painting art elective course is.

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

Therefore, these five gentlemen are very grateful to Li Baolu who can bring about such a change, and therefore, when the academy asked them to stay and work overtime during the winter vacation, they agreed.

Not only to repay Li Baolu, but also because they saw an opportunity for the development of the painting club.

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

It is already very satisfying to be able to show what you have learned in your life, not to mention working overtime and double the amount of strudel. The five gentlemen are very satisfied with this.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, we have finished reviewing all the submitted paintings, and put away those that passed, and we will teach the school staff to return those that failed one by one. I'm afraid there will be more paintings submitted in the next year. Come back to review at five, and once the number exceeds the data you set, you will be notified immediately."

Li Baolu bowed respectfully, "Thank you gentlemen."

"Mr. Li, you are polite. We should be the ones to thank you. I am afraid that the number of students who choose painting will increase sharply after the new year. It is our greatest wish to teach a few more students." A teacher looked at the sky outside, He said with a smile: "Mr. Li, it's not too early now. You have been staying in the academy for the past few days. I am afraid that you have accumulated a lot of things at home. It is already twenty-eight. You should go home first. It’s just the finishing touches.”

"Then you guys have to work hard." Li Baolu knew that they had different subjects, and she would make them feel uncomfortable if she stayed here, so she didn't force her, and she got up and left directly.

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

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

Erlin said vaguely: "It's not long since I arrived..." He was about to say something, but the curtain of the car was already opened, and Gu Jingyun poked his head out to look at them.

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

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

"Everything is done, I'll stay with you at home from tomorrow." Li Baolu pushed him into the carriage, and saw that the couch was covered with a thick mattress, and there was a blanket beside it, and it was obvious that he had brought it. The one who covered her legs touched his hands and saw that they were warm, so she was relieved and said happily: "Let's eat hot pot tonight, the venison sent by the Prince's Mansion is not finished yet, let's go buy some mutton." Come back, share the pot and eat."

Gu Jingyun nodded with a smile, "Okay."

Li Baolu stuffed her slightly cold hands into his, leaned against him to keep warm, and exhaled comfortably: "I've been busy for the past few days, and I haven't been able to have a good meal. I've decided that starting tonight I will Eat hard, no matter what, you must eat back the food from the previous few days."

Gu Jingyun stared down at the baby fat on her face and said nothing.

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

Gu Jingyun didn't have the heart to tell the truth, so he changed the subject and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"That's too much. Tonight, we'll have boiled mutton slices and venison slices first, and then we'll have stir-fried turtledove, roasted lamb loin and lion head with crab powder. Oh, by the way, you love vegetarian food. Didn't someone from our village bring it to you?" Fresh vegetables, we also eat them hot at night," Li Baolu lamented: "It's a pity that there are no mushrooms now, otherwise the mushrooms would be delicious when scalded in a hot pot."

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

Li Baolu expressed her understanding, because there was no mushroom cultivation in this era, and these kinds of things are wild, but they are easy to find every spring, summer and autumn when there is much rain.

Li Baolu stroked her chin and said, "It would be great if I could grow it myself."

"It's hard. Zhuangzi spent so much effort building a greenhouse this year, but the vegetables he grew couldn't even supply our family, but the money he spent was enough to buy a whole house of vegetables."

Li Baolu said indifferently: "This is scientific research funding. If you want to develop technology, you need to spend money. It's okay. We will earn back when they can grow vegetables efficiently."

Gu Jingyun looked at her helplessly, thought for a while, but still didn't tell her that even though vegetables in winter were expensive, they were not so expensive that they could go back to the greenhouse.

Who doesn't have one or two villages in the suburbs of Beijing among those wealthy families, and who doesn't have a greenhouse in the village?

Li Baolu's greenhouse only grows melons, fruits and vegetables, which still reduces production, but even delicate flowers can be raised in other people's greenhouses, so why would they be rare for vegetables from the greenhouse?

But seeing that she seemed to be very interested in it, he didn't mention it again. Forget it, if the vegetables in the greenhouse can really produce high yields, there is still him who can't sell them. He will give them away if he can't finish them. Take it as a favor.

"Let's go give uncle a new year's present tomorrow, and bring back mother and master by the way." The other families' annual presents, Gu Jingyun, had already arranged to send someone to deliver them, only the one from the Qin family hadn't delivered yet.

Gu Jingyun planned to send the couple together, and on New Year's Eve they were going to enter the palace for a palace banquet. According to the usual practice, the palace banquet lasted from Shenzheng (4:00 p.m.) to Xuzheng (8:00 p.m.), and the officials did not wait until after they left the palace. Watch the New Year's Eve with your family.

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

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

As his wife, Li Baolu had to enter the palace without special circumstances.

Even if Gu Jingyun is like this, let alone Qin Xinfang and He Zipei, these two must enter the palace.

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

Unfortunately, Bai Yitang lived in the Qin Mansion. Once Qin Xinfang and He Zipei entered the palace, the servants were ignored, and there was only a little boy and a couple of orphans and widows left in the house. Not to mention Qin Xinfang, he always created opportunities for Master. Gu Jingyun wouldn't let them talk about it.

So Gu Jingyun made an agreement with Qin Xinfang early on, to bring Qin Wenyin and Bai Yitang back to the mansion tomorrow, first take care of the place where they live at home, and on the 30th day they will send Niu Niu to be taken by Qin Wenyin.

The four of them entered the palace together again, and when the palace banquet was over, they went back to the mansion together to celebrate the New Year together.

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

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

In the past half a month, the royal family has rewarded Gu Jingyun more and more heavily, far exceeding the chief assistant Peng Dan and the four cabinet members, including Qin Xinfang.

Everyone has already determined in their hearts 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 next year.

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

Ever since Gu Jingyun asked his family members to give New Year's gifts, everyone stared at Gu Fu with a sense of watching the excitement.

Gu Jingyun is separated from Zhongyonghou's family, but they are bound by blood, so this hurdle cannot be overcome.

Last year he wasn't in the capital, so he didn't have to give the Zhongyonghou Mansion an annual gift. This year, the two mansions didn't even communicate with each other. When Zhongyonghou and Gu Jingyun went to court at the same time, they would subconsciously avoid each other and never see each other.

But can you still avoid this New Year ceremony?

So everyone is watching.

As soon as the new year is over, Erlin will send the annual gift to the Zhongyonghou Mansion.

His family is weak, his assets are thin, and he has almost no extra income other than rewards. This is a common message that everyone knows, so Gu Jingyun didn't slap his face swollen to pretend to be fat, and directly asked someone to prepare an annual gift that was slightly thicker than that for his colleagues. Go to Zhongyonghou Mansion.

The annual gifts that Gu's family needs to give are limited, except for Gu Jingyun's colleagues and the couple's better colleagues in the academy, there are only some relatives and friends.

Such as the Qin Mansion, such as some of Qin Wenyin's old friends, such as the Li family who lived in Liu'er Hutong.

Except for the Qin family, the rest of the family sent the gifts to the servants of the family. Before seeing the gift to the Qin family, no one thought that there was something wrong with the gift that Gu Jingyun sent to the Zhongyonghou's mansion. Although it was a bit thin, But it is comparable to his current status and assets.

But on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu personally went to the Qin Mansion to deliver the New Year gift. Although everyone didn't see the contents of the box, they were enough to abuse the Gu family's gift based on the quantity. The grades are different.

So those who were looking for faults and those who joined in the fun were all excited, and they all wanted to see the reaction of the Zhongyonghou Mansion.

The response from the Zhongyonghou Mansion was that there was no response. Some people were not reconciled and couldn't help jumping out to provoke one or two, trying to get the people from the Zhongyonghou Mansion to come out and provoke trouble.

They naturally didn't dare to jump in front of Zhongyonghou, Gu Huaijin had already been taken back to his hometown, and now there were only his two elder brothers left in the capital.

So the son and the second master of Zhongyonghou's Mansion received several invitations when they were the busiest years ago, all of which invited them to go out for drinking and having fun.

The two of them went there because they didn't want to offend others, and came back with a dark face after they went.

If you really think they are fools and instigate them to go out and make troubles, in the end the benefits will not be realized, but it will just add to the conversation.

They were ignorant of Gu Jingyun and Qin Wenyin, and now they are not as good as others. Even the most promising third child has been sent back to his hometown by his father. How stupid are they to provoke Gu Jingyun?

Whoever wants to go, anyway, the Zhongyonghou Mansion doesn't want to have anything to do with Gu Jingyun.

Zhongyonghou saw everything in his eyes, and felt sad and hurt in his heart. He was sad that the Gu family had fallen so far, and anyone could come up to plot and step on their feet, and hurt his two sons. Although they did not cause trouble, they also lost their ambitions. His two most proud grandsons, one regards the Gu family as enemies, and the other loses fighting spirit, preferring to stay in his hometown rather than return to Beijing to study.

Seeing that the Gu family is about to fall, how can Hou Zhongyong not be sad or hurt?
