After raining for half a month, the sky finally cleared up.
Early in the morning, the furniture shop delivered the items that were ordered half a month ago. Su Li spent the whole morning to tidy up the shop.
Wang Sheng from next door also found out that the buyer of this house was her. He came over and greeted her with a smile, and said that he wanted to be her first customer when her portrait shop opened.
Of course she was happy to agree.
In the afternoon, she took Pei Chuer back to Taohua Village.
It had been raining for half a month and the roads were very muddy. It took more than an hour to get there, a journey that usually takes about half an hour.
As soon as I arrived home, Su Xiaocui came out from the door next door: "Ali, the house repairman you asked Lin Dong to find will be here soon."
On the second day after Su Li bought the house, he returned to Taohua Village, told Su Xiaocui, and asked her husband Lin Dong to find a house repairman to fix the leaking kitchen.
Thinking that she had already bought a house in town, she changed her mind and decided not to renovate it. She just wanted to simply repair the damaged parts, since she didn't plan to live there anyway.
It rained heavily for half a month and I couldn't do any repairs. It was only today that the weather cleared up.
"Thank you for your help."
"Hey, it's just a quickie, what's the big deal?" Su Xiaocui said with a smile, "A-Li, our family is moving to town next year. Lin Dong and I have already bought a house and are just waiting for it to be renovated. We can move in next spring! I've seen it, it's very close to your shop!"
"Really? That's great. From now on, we can be neighbors again!" However, having read the original novel, she knew that Pei Ji would definitely pass the autumn examination. She would probably have gone to the capital next spring. She had also promised Pei Zhao that she would go to see him.
"Scholarly lady!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the village head came with two people: "Mrs. Xiucai, we are looking for you!"
Two men in green shirts asked, "Are you Painter Su Li?"
Su Li was puzzled: "I am, who are you?"
"We are from Luocheng Wencheng Academy. You previously participated in the competition "Goddess Ascension Picture" and won first place in the entire Dajin. The academy has given you time to collect your certificate and prize money."
First place!
Su Li was overjoyed. She didn't expect that she would actually win first place!
She smiled calmly and said, "Thank you for your help. I will go to the academy as soon as possible..."
It would take at least a few days to repair the house. After we had agreed on all the matters, she stopped caring about it and just came back to inspect and pay after the repairs were completed.
So she took Chu'er back to the town. As soon as she left the village, she met Su, the original owner's mother, who came to see her.
Only then did Su know about her move.
Su Li also told her that Pei Zhao was accepted as a disciple by a great scholar and brought to the capital. Then Su followed Su Li to the newly bought house in the town, got acquainted with the place, had a meal, and then returned to Sujia Village.
The next morning, she took Pei Chuer to Luocheng.
When we arrived at Wencheng Academy, one side of the entrance was crowded with people.
Su Li then remembered that today was the day when the results of the autumn examination would be announced.
Candidates who passed the autumn examination were called Juren, which meant they could participate in the spring examination in the capital next year.
In the autumn examination, the first place winner is also called Jieyuan.
But she knew without even looking that Pei Ji was the first place winner in this autumn examination, the Jieyuan.
In the original work, Pei Ji was the first person since the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty to win the Small Three Top Prizes and the Big Three Top Prizes consecutively, that is, he won the first place in all six imperial examinations.
When she entered the academy, the gatekeeper recognized her and was stunned when he learned that she was the first prize winner of the "Goddess Picture". He originally thought that she just had a prodigy son, but he didn't expect that she was so amazing too!
So he treated her with even more respect: "Madam Su, the academy has given instructions. We will take you in when you arrive. Please follow me."
After entering the academy, she was personally received by the dean. Dean Wen said with a smile: "Madam Su, this time it's all thanks to you. You have brought honor to our Guangning..."
The first prize in the first painting competition came from his Guangning Wencheng Academy, which made them very proud. Dean Wen was extremely happy.
Su Li was very modest: "It was just luck, haha..."
Dean Wen took a box from the desk and opened it, saying, "This is the prize money for the first prize in this painting competition, and also the certificate issued by Haohan Academy..."
Su Li took the box and saw that in addition to the banknotes and certificates, there was also an invitation letter.
"This is the invitation letter from Haohan Academy. I invite you to be a teacher of Danqingyidao at the academy."
Dean Wen felt sour in his heart after he said this. He had originally wanted to invite Madam Su to teach at Wencheng Academy, but he didn't expect that Haohan Academy would also do this.
Alas! It’s not easy for him to grab the invitation since they sent it first…
But it doesn't matter to Su Li, because no matter who invites her to be a teacher, she will not go.
She just wants to be a wealthy woman who enjoys a peaceful life, not a nine-to-five working life...
After politely declining the dean's offer to see her off in person, Su Li took Pei Chuer out of the dean's office and walked towards the academy gate.
But she soon discovered to her embarrassment that she seemed to be lost...
Just when I was about to find someone to ask, I saw a figure in a pavilion in front of me. When I got closer, I realized it was Su Ci.
In the pavilion, Su Ci was sitting in front of a long stone table, holding a brush and writing something with great concentration.
Su Li only knew that he was a disciple of a calligraphy master, but this was the first time she saw him holding a pen.
The sunlight shines through the bamboo leaves onto him, and in the dim light, he exudes an elegant and leisurely temperament. A breeze blows by, and his white clothes flow, and his waterfall-like black hair flutters slightly.
For a moment, he seemed like an immortal who was spotless.
She suddenly remembered that in the original novel, Su Ci did not appear many times, but almost every time he appeared, he appeared as Pei Ji's love rival, and finally helped to sublimate the relationship between the male and female protagonists.
