Liu Zhimo basically went home immediately after school, and rarely stayed in the academy.
Even if he had to prepare for the exam, he would go home as usual.
One day, when he packed his books and walked to the gate of the academy, Mr. Tong stopped him.
"Sir..." He greeted Mr. Tong gently, "Do you have anything to do with a student?"
Mr. Tong looked Liu Zhimo indistinctly, and nodded in satisfaction.
His student looks outstanding, no wonder his daughter fell in love with him, and she didn't hesitate to speak directly to his father, asking him to test Liu Zhimo's tone.
"I found a book that I think is suitable for you to read, but I forgot to bring it today, Ziqian, come home with me and get it!"
For his precious daughter, he could only find such an excuse.
He was very satisfied with Liu Zhimo, it would be the best if he could be his son-in-law.
Liu Zhimo couldn't refuse Mr. Tong, so he nodded and followed Mr. Tong back to Tong's house.
Mr. Tong led Liu Zhimo into the study, and Tong Wanrong's maid, Xia He, ran back in a gust of wind.
"Miss... Miss..."
"What does it look like to be yelling?" Dongmei glanced at her and reprimanded her with a sullen face.
Dongmei and Xia He are both Tong Wanrong's first-class maidservants, Dongmei is steady and Xia He is a little out of touch.
Xia He pursed her lips at Dongmei, her pace slowed down, and she called Miss in a low voice.
Tong Wanrong put down the writing brush in her hand, walked to the side and washed her hands, took the handkerchief Dongmei handed over to wipe her hands, and then said slowly, "What's the matter? What's the matter that makes you so excited?"
"Miss, guess who's here?" Xia He became excited again when she mentioned this.
Seeing Xia He winking at her, Tong Wanrong's heart was hit, could it be...
Her heart beat faster, she held the handkerchief tightly, and asked calmly, "Who is it?"
When she asked this question, she felt a little nervous and stared at Xia He.
Xia He cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Young Master Liu is here, I saw the master leading him into the study."
It really is...
As soon as Tong Wanrong heard Xia He's words, a sweet smile appeared on her face.
She walked to the dressing table in a panic and sat down, reached out and touched her bun, "Xia He, help me recomb my bun." She was looking forward to it day and night, and finally she was looking forward to his arrival.
She must give him a good impression this time and let him remember her.
"Hey..." Xia He responded, walked briskly behind Tong Wanrong, helped her break up the original bun, and combed her hair again, "Miss, help you comb a half-up bun, okay?"
"good…"
Xia He quickly combed the half updo, Tong Wanrong looked at it, and nodded in satisfaction.
She changed into a white dress again, stood up gracefully, and led Xia He to the study.
study
Mr. Tong took a book from the shelf and handed it to Liu Zhimo. Liu Zhimo glanced at it. It was a travel book. He was a little surprised in his heart, but his face didn't show it. He reached out to take it and said Thank you, sir.
"Ziqian, aren't you curious, why should I give you a travel journal?"
"Students would like to hear about it."
Mr. Tong stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, and said with a smile: "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Now that you don't have such conditions, then you can experience it from the books." He sat on the chair and let Liu Zhimo After sitting down, he continued: "Reading more travel notes will give you new inspiration when writing articles."
Liu Zhimo put the travel notes into his book bag, "Yes, the students remember the teacher's teachings."
Glancing at the steady Liu Zhimo, he felt more and more satisfied.
It's really rare to be so calm at such a young age.
This child can go a long way in the future.
"Come on, play chess with me!" Mr. Tong smiled and brought the chessboard over, calling Liu Zhimo to play chess with him.
Liu Zhimo had no choice but to comply.
Only halfway through the chess game, Tong Wanrong's voice came from outside the door, "Daddy, can my daughter go in?"
Mr. Tong smiled helplessly and said to come in.
Tong Wanrong came in with a food box, "My daughter made some snacks and brought them to Daddy to taste." Of course she didn't make the snacks, she just used the snacks as an excuse to come and see Liu Zhimo.
"Oh? Then you have to have a good taste."
Tong Wanrong was very happy that her father gave her face in this way, she carefully opened the food box and took out the snacks inside.
She glanced at Liu Zhimo out of the corner of her eyes, and said softly, "Daddy, this is Furong Lamb, try it..."
Mr. Tong smiled and picked up a piece of hibiscus cake, put it in his mouth, took a bite, nodded and said, yes.
He turned his head to look at Liu Zhimo, "Ziqian, this is my daughter Tong Wanrong, and you can taste the lotus lamb she made."
Only then did Liu Zhimo look up at Tong Wanrong. As soon as he saw her, he recognized her as the girl who asked him to help in the academy.
It turns out that she is the daughter of Mr.
He nodded to Tong Wanrong, reached out and picked up a piece of hibiscus cake, and tasted it in small bites.
Tong Wanrong looked at him nervously, and when he finished eating, she asked with a smile, "I wonder if this pastry suits Senior Brother Liu's taste?"
"It's okay." Liu Zhimo smiled politely. He was used to Li Qingling's cakes, and felt that other people's cakes were not as good as Li Qingling's.
Tong Wanrong let go of her heart, as long as he likes it.
She decided to learn how to make hibiscus cakes from the cook, and she must let him eat her own handmade cakes next time.
Seeing his daughter looking at Liu Zhimo without moving her eyes, Mr. Tong coughed lightly, which brought her back to her senses, and said, "Okay, Rong'er, go down if you have nothing to do. I will continue to play chess with Ziqian."
He didn't want his daughter to lose face here.
Seeing her father's strong attitude, Tong Wanrong could only leave the study reluctantly.
"Ziqian, come on, continue playing chess."
The two played three chess games in a row, with one loss, one win and one draw, and it was considered a tie.
Mr. Tong didn't expect Liu Zhimo's chess skills to be so high that he could even tie with him.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then looked at Liu Zhimo with a smile, "Ziqian's chess skills are not bad, have you learned it?" He originally thought that Liu Zhimo's chess skills were not high, but this time, it really made him laugh. He was unexpected.
Liu Zhimo picked up the chess pieces back into the chess basket, and he replied gently, "My grandpa loves to play chess, and I learned from him." The old man liked to play chess very much, and he would grab him and accompany him when he played chess.
This chess skill is practiced in this way.
Mr. Tong hummed, he drank a cup of tea slowly, put the teacup on the table, looked at Liu Zhimo, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Is Ziqian sixteen years old? Is there anyone at home?" Get married for you?"
"Yes, I will get married on the tenth day of next month. If you are free, sir, you can come and have a wedding wine."
"What?" Mr. Tong was a little surprised when he heard the news suddenly, "You...you are going to get married next month? Why haven't you heard about it?"
Seeing the duck with its beak flying away, Mr. Tong was in a bad mood.
He stood up and walked around the study room twice, "You are going to take an exam at the end of next month, how can you get married at this time?" He was a little angry in his heart, "What do your parents think? How about getting married at this time? No, I have to go and have a good talk with your parents. "
Although he regretted that Liu Zhimo couldn't become his son-in-law, he really valued this student and didn't want him to be disturbed by those trivial matters in his exam.
The parents of Liu Zhimo's family are also really unreliable.
The corner of Liu Zhimo's mouth twitched, he didn't expect Mr. Tong's reaction to be so big.
"Sir, my parents passed away a long time ago." He said flatly, "I will decide the marriage next month."
His marriage will not affect his exam, he has this confidence.
Hearing this, Mr. Tong's eyeballs were about to pop out. He frowned and looked at Liu Zhimo, scolding him dissatisfiedly, "What do you think? Why did you decide to get married on the tenth day of next month? After the exams are over Can't you try to get married?"
He never knew that Liu Zhimo's parents were gone. From what he said, he was the one who was in charge of the family
It seems that he needs to find some time to find out about the family situation of his favorite student.
The smile on Liu Zhimo's face narrowed, and he said seriously, "Sir, you don't have to worry, I won't affect my exam because of this." Although he thanked his husband for his concern, he would not Let others question his marriage, "It's getting late, the students should go back, and the family will worry if they go back late."
Mr. Tong looked at Liu Zhimo, he sighed, nodded, and asked someone to send him out.
After Liu Zhimo left, Tong Wanrong heard the news and came to the study again.
As soon as she entered the study, she saw Mr. Tong sitting on the chair. His expression seemed a little bad, and her heart skipped a beat. Does... Liu Zhimo disagree
With a smile on her face, she called out to her father.
Mr. Tong looked up and saw his daughter, and sighed again, "Rong'er, Daddy will choose a husband and son-in-law for you."
Tong Wanrong's face turned pale, and she hurriedly asked what was going on? What did Liu Zhimo say? Did he not agree
When Mr. Tong saw his daughter caring so much about Liu Zhimo, his heart sank, "Ziqian is getting married on the tenth day of next month, you, you don't have to think about him."
Before his daughter fell deep enough, he had to quickly pull her out.
Although Liu Zhimo is good, he doesn't have to be him.
"Impossible, how is this possible? Daddy, does it mean that he doesn't like me, so he just lied and lied to you?"
Seeing his daughter's obsessive look, Mr. Tong felt a little resentful, "I didn't mention you at all, I just asked if his family made a marriage for him? He just told me about getting married next month. "Pause, "Rong'er, he is not your beloved, so don't worry about him anymore, remember?"
He was really afraid that his daughter would do something harmful to the family.
Tong Wanrong couldn't accept it, she didn't respond to Mr Tong's words, and ran out of the study crying.
