Chapter 778: Very competitive.

Chapter 778: Very competitive.

Fan Yu took a deep breath.

Forget it.

This is good, at least they won’t come to disturb grandpa and grandma.

In fact, he understood that his grandparents were still feeling sad.

How could you not feel sad when the child you raised with so much effort turned out to be an ungrateful person?

But it’s okay, he will study hard and achieve success that will impress his grandfather.

Make parents regret that their behavior was wrong.

After Song Yu got off, Shen Xia's carriage headed towards Shuxiangyuan.

After arriving at the yard, Shen Xia asked Jixiang Ruyi to gently put away the items he was carrying one by one.

She asked Jixiang to bring over the half-finished painting that she had done at home.

In the past, she only needed to patiently teach arithmetic knowledge to the students who were about to participate in the competition at noon. After that, she had nothing to do for the whole afternoon, so she would return to the Princess's Mansion to paint.

Or paint in the morning when you have free time.

But recently she doesn't want to go back to the Princess Mansion.

In this case, it would be better to bring the paintings to the academy, where you can have more peace and quiet to paint.

This painting really wastes too much paint.

Just like that, a lot of paint was consumed just to complete half of the work.

Everyone knows that students who study art spend the most money, and this is absolutely true.

After all, it is not easy to master superb painting skills. It requires not only innate talent, but also persistent practice.

Only through constant repetition of practice can you create amazing masterpieces.

However, each practice session meant the need to constantly purchase various pigments, and to try and explore over and over again on each canvas.

Only by going through such a long and arduous process can one finally create a beautiful oil painting that is lifelike and looks like a real scene.

Jixiang and Ruyi took the paints and tools in.

Feng Qi and the other man took the painting in.

I happened to meet Dean Bai in the big office.

Come out and see Shen Xia.

Then he looked at Shen Xia amiably: "Anping is here."

"Yes, the dean is also in the college today." Dean Bai is not often in the college.

This is what Shen Xia heard from other teachers.

She had thought that Dean Bai would often be in the college!

"Well, I've been in the academy recently. There will be a competition soon. I have to urge the participants to study more."

"Oh, that's how it is." Shen Xia suddenly realized.

It seems that this competition is very important to each college.

There is no such thing as friendship first and competition second at this time.

They prefer to respect the strong, and when they like that kind of fighting spirit, they will express it directly.

There is no need for superficial modesty.

Very competitive.

The ranking between colleges is not only related to the success in the annual imperial examination, but this competition is also crucial.

Dean Bai took out a purse from his arms and handed it to Shen Xia.

Shen Xia was puzzled: "What is this?"

Dean Bai smiled and said, "This is your salary for last month."

Shen Xia took it with a smile: "Well, okay!"

"Teachers in the academy usually get thirty to sixty taels of silver per month. Teachers in Anping get eighty taels of silver. What do you think?"

Dean Bai didn’t know whether Anping would think it was too little.

After all, eighty taels would definitely not even be enough pocket money for her.

In fact, in the academy, even those with the highest seniority and the most knowledgeable only earn sixty taels a month.

Of course, Ling Heng's skills are quite high, and he also earns sixty taels a month.

Dean Bai only makes eighty taels a month.

Because Shen Xia is indeed very knowledgeable, and she is also open-minded and generous.

Indeed, students in the college learn a lot.

Even the teacher during this period went to discuss arithmetic problems with her.

Not to mention the students, even the teachers have gained a lot.

So after discussion, the monthly salary was set at eighty taels.

That’s nine hundred and sixty taels a year.

Not much though.

But this is the annual income of a first-rank minister.

So in terms of monthly salary, it is really not low.

Shen Xia nodded: "Is it so high?"

Dean Bai was worried that she would feel it was low, but he didn't expect Anping to actually feel it was high.

Hearing Shen Xia say this, he felt relieved.

After all, Anping will inherit everything from the Princess's Mansion in the future.

This little bit of money is really like nothing to her.

It’s not that Shen Xia thinks it’s high, but she has learned about the monthly wages of Song Ming and Song Yun.

She knew that at that time even the official positions and salaries were not high.

She thought it was just ten or twenty taels, and it was okay, so she could just kill time.

I didn't expect it would be eighty taels a month.

Shen Xia took the heavy silver with both hands, her heart full of gratitude. She quickly bowed and said in a clear voice, "Thank you, Uncle Bai!"

However, when she straightened up, she found that Dean Bai seemed to have something to say, with a hesitant look on his face.

Shen Xia asked cautiously, "Uncle Bai, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Dean Bai smiled slightly, narrowed his eyes, and said softly: "That painting..."

Hearing this, Shen Xia immediately realized that Dean Bai was still thinking about the unfinished painting.

She quickly smiled sweetly and responded, "Oh, I'm really sorry. I was busy with some trivial matters a few days ago, so I delayed the progress of the painting."

"But I have already finished half of the painting. I have brought all the painting tools and the completed parts to the academy. From now on, as long as I have free time in the afternoon, I will concentrate on painting in the academy."

Dean Bai smiled and nodded in praise, "That's great! That's great! Can I come and observe Anping painting?"

Shen Xia smiled and replied, "Of course, Uncle Bai is welcome to come and give us some advice."

Dean Bai then asked with interest, "So are you going to continue painting this afternoon?"

Shen Xia nodded without hesitation and replied: "Yes."

After the two of them talked for a few more words about the details of the painting, Dean Bai turned around and left with satisfaction.

As he walked, he stroked his long beard with his hand, smiling, as if he was looking forward to the paintings he was about to see.

Only then did Shen Xia return to his filing room.

The result passed through Ling Heng's filing room.

Shen Xia looked at Ling Heng as if he didn't see her.

She went to her room without saying hello.

After preparing my things, I went to Chengfengyuan.

Get ready for class.

Shen Xia calculated that it would take another month to complete the entire college's first aid courses.

As for Dean Bai's proposal to let her teach arithmetic, it has not yet been decided which classes she will teach.

Maybe they want to wait until after this competition to divide the points!

Of course, she also understood Dean Bai's thoughts. After all, one must first achieve results before one can speak with results.

She taught me medical skills before, and her medical skills were indeed superb.

Shen Xia didn't care.

After Shen Xia left.

Ling Heng raised his head and looked through the window at Shen Xia's leaving back.

Lost in thought.

What the hell is this teaching? It's useless.

Fallen leaves are not around.

Otherwise he has to say something.

The book only tells you to be aloof, it doesn’t say it tells you to be indifferent!
