The whole family traveled through time, and the best people were actually doing involution in ancien

The shopkeeper's wrinkled face broke into a smile, and he was about to agree.

An old man in a navy blue gown and a long beard came in. When he saw the landscape painting on the table, he stroked his beard and praised:

"Not bad, not bad, the artistic conception is beyond the world, the technique is refined, and the ingenuity is unique. If the author does not have decades of painting experience, he cannot create such a high-level work of art."

The old man finished talking to himself and asked the shopkeeper:

"Shopkeeper Wang, who painted this picture? Can you recommend one or two?"

Shopkeeper Wang had not expected that Shen Ruhai's paintings would attract this person's attention. He quickly introduced them:

"Master Yu, this is exactly what Shen Ruhai did."

He pulled Shen Ruhai and said, "Mr. Shen, this is Principal Yu from Bailu Academy." He then introduced the old man, "This is Shen Ruhai."

"Meet Mr. Yu Shan."

"Greetings to Principal Yu."

Shen Ruhai had just greeted Abbot Yu Shan when he saw Tang Renhe and two students in long gowns greeting Abbot Yu Shan.

Shanzhang Yu said to Tang Ren and the other two, "You are here too! Sanwei Bookstore is really lively today." He then asked Shen Ruhai,

"Which academy are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Shen Ruhai said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Principal Yu, I am a student of the 68th year of Daqian. I used to be a student of Qingshan Academy, but later dropped out due to some reasons."

Shanzhang Yu looked Shen Ruhai up and down and saw that he was polite, well-mannered, and had an extraordinary temperament. He thought about it in his mind and asked:

"You are only in your twenties now, right? You were only in your teens when you passed the exam, right?"

Shen Ruhai nodded and said, "I was thirteen years old at that time."

Yu Shanzhang asked again: "Do you still plan to study?"

Shen Ruhai answered truthfully: "I plan to keep reading."

Yu Shanzhang agreed: "There is a path to the mountain of books through diligence, and there is a boat to the boundless sea of ​​learning through hard work. You are very talented in painting, so don't waste such a good talent and time."

Without waiting for Shen Ruhai to answer, he took out a note and handed it to Shen Ruhai:

"This is my visiting card. If you plan to continue your studies, you can come to Bailu Academy to find me."

Shen Ruhai was overjoyed. He solemnly took the visiting card and thanked Master Yu.

Upon seeing this, Dean Yu said hello to Shopkeeper Wang and left the bookstore.

As soon as Dean Yu left, the students gathered around and congratulated Shen Ruhai.

Shen Ruhai thanked them one by one, and when they saw that there was nothing interesting to see, they continued to choose books.

Upon seeing this, Tang Ren walked over, congratulated Shen Ruhai, and then told the shopkeeper that he had bought Shen Ruhai's painting "Chasing Dreams" and asked Shen Ruhai to write an inscription on the painting.

Shen Ruhai did not hesitate and immediately wrote the words "Jing Xi" on the painting. He said to Tang Ren a little embarrassedly, "I don't have a seal yet. Can I add it later?"

Tang Ren smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I watched Brother Shen draw this painting myself, how could it be fake? Thank you Brother Shen for letting me appreciate such a good painting."

Tang Ren's attitude towards Shen Laosan became a little better than before. You know, Shen Laosan was a student favored by their academy's Dean Yu and he had a promising future.

Maybe we can become classmates in the future. It will only benefit you and not harm you to make friends with Shen Lao San now.

When Shen Lao San saw that everyone had left, he happily came to Su and Shen Mingzhu and asked with a smile:

"When did you come? Have all the embroidery been sold?"

He was really happy. His first painting in this world was sold at a high price and was appreciated by the dean of Bailu Academy. He was qualified to study in Bailu Academy. It was a thing worth being happy about.

Just a few days ago, he was still worrying about which academy to study in.

Although he had a solid cultural background and felt that he would have no problem passing the imperial examination, the imperial examination in this dynasty required a guarantor.

Entering the academy not only provides one with a guarantor, but also allows one to make friends with classmates, thus laying a foundation for the future path to the imperial examination.

The influence of scholars is not to be underestimated. A scholar may have little say.

But what if there are many scholars? Therefore, Shen Lao San had already decided to study at the college.

But there are only two academies in the entire Wuxi County, the Bailu Academy and the Qingshan Academy where he used to study.

In his memory, when he was studying at Qingshan Academy, he had often been treated differently by the teacher and ostracized by his classmates since he passed the examination to become a student at the age of thirteen.

As a result, the original person could not continue studying at Qingshan Academy and dropped out. He was led astray and gradually became addicted to playing and not doing his job properly.

He had already decided not to go to Qingshan Academy when he repeated his studies, but Bailu Academy was even more difficult to enter.

It is said that to enter Bailu Academy, one not only has to take an examination, but also has to have three scholars as guarantors.

It is not easy to find three scholars, even though there are only two scholars in their Ningchang Town.

Now with the invitation letter from the headmaster, it would be much easier for him to enter Bailu Academy.

Su saw everything here and couldn't help but said proudly: "My husband is amazing."

Shen Laosan looked at Su's smile, his heart almost melted, and he said softly: "Madam, you should call me husband."

Shen Mingzhu looked at her affectionate parents and walked aside silently. She didn't want to eat her parents' dog food anymore.

Shen Mingzhu came to the geography section and selected three books on geography and travel. When she got to the counter, she saw Manager Wang handing her father a purse.

Shen Laosan took the purse handed over by Wang, and seeing Shen Mingzhu holding three geography books, he waved:

"Zhuzhu, are these the books you picked out? Come over and pay for them together."

Shopkeeper Wang smiled and asked Shen Lao San: "Mr. Shen, is this your daughter?"

"This is my daughter Shen Mingzhu. Mingzhu, come over and meet Shopkeeper Wang."

Shen Mingzhu walked over and bowed politely, "Meet Shopkeeper Wang."

Shopkeeper Wang waved his hand and said to Shen Mingzhu with a smile, "Don't be polite. I'm older than your father. Just call me Uncle Wang from now on." He then said to Shen Lao San,

"Mr. Shen, I really envy you for having such a well-behaved and lovely daughter! I have three little brats at home, and none of them is easy to worry about. Please bring Zhuzhu over to play more often in the future!"

"Mingzhu, what a nice name. I see that you can read. Uncle has nothing else, so this set of four treasures of the study is a gift from uncle to you! Please don't despise it!"

Shopkeeper Wang took out a set of four treasures of the study and gave it to Shen Mingzhu. Shen Mingzhu did not take it and looked at Shen Laosan. Shopkeeper Wang saw that Shen Mingzhu was so sensible and said to Shen Laosan:

"Mr. Shen, I am older than you and call you my brother. We will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. I am very happy to meet my niece now. Please do not refuse this gift."
