Early the next morning, Jiang Yuetang went to Zhen Huiyuan as soon as she got up, and said: "Mother, the teacher said that I should often find someone to play against to improve quickly, the little boy of the Tong family has good chess skills, and his house is close to our house, I want to play against him, what do you think?"

Zhen Huiyuan paused after hearing this, and said after a while: "It's not that my mother refuses, but I'm afraid that he will see the flaws." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Jiang Yuetang leaned close to her ear and lowered her voice: "Don't worry, mother, I look very similar to my brother, he shouldn't be able to see it." Besides, I urgently need to improve my chess skills now, and he happens to be good at chess and live nearby. Besides, he's a good friend of my brother, and he'll come to play with me even if I don't go to him in the future. ”

Zhen Huiyuan pondered for a long time before nodding lightly.

For now, I'm afraid that's the only way to do it.

Because of Jiang Yuetang's tight schedule, Zhen Huiyuan took Jiang Yuetang to Tong's house to visit after breakfast.

Tong's house is diagonally opposite the Jiang family, and there is a street between the two houses, which is about 20 zhang away, so you can walk there.

Before going out, Zhen Huiyuan tied a red rope around her and Jiang Yuetang's waists, and also prepared lotus leaf cakes, corn cakes, red date cakes, crisp candy, Langya halva, champion sugar, persimmon cakes, pumpkin cakes, raisins, dried walnuts and sauce plate duck and other souvenirs, packed in food baskets, and carried by two maids.

Although Jiang Yueting had come to Tong's house several times in her life, Jiang Yuetang had never been here, so she was inevitably a little nervous, so she asked Zhen Huiyuan about the situation of the Tong family while walking.

"Tong Daren is the left waiter of the household department, about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, his wife's surname is Liang, there is no concubine, there are two sons under his knees, Tong Wenxian is a child, and Tong Wenkai is an eldest child. Zhen Huiyuan whispered to her as she walked.

"Oh. The little one silently wrote it down.

Mr. Tong went to the office, and they were greeted by Mr. Tong's wife, Mr. Liang.

Liang was about thirty-two or thirteen years old, with a beautiful appearance and elegant manners, and had the demeanor of a large hostess.

"Both children went to school and will be back in about an hour and a half," Liang said as he beckoned them.

"It's okay, it's okay, we can just talk about family things. Zhen Huiyuan said busily.

Liang nodded, and his eyes fell on Jiang Yuetang's body.

But seeing that this little baby's skin is like snow, her face is like white porcelain, her eyes are cut water, and she is like a Mohora doll1, she couldn't help but say: "President Yue is a lot taller, and her appearance is getting more and more cute." ”

Jiang Yuetang's face suddenly flushed, and she hurriedly said, "Madame is overrated." ”

Liang asked her what she was studying recently and what books she was reading, and she answered them one by one.

"Why don't you let him go to school?" asked Zhen Huiyuan.

In Zhaoguo, all the children of people with some status and status are grasped from a young age in scientific research and strategist promotion.

Zhen Huiyuan explained: "After the child's sister passed away, the child's father and I had a serious discussion about this matter, and finally we decided to let her only follow the path of a strategist. ”

Liang frowned slightly when he heard this, and said puzzledly: "Worried that his body can't bear it?"

The Jiang family is a family of famous ministers, and it has always been a matter of scientific research and strategist promotion, why did you only choose one path when you got to Jiang Yueting?

Zhen Huiyuan didn't want to talk about it more, so she smiled and said, "Yes, her body has never been very good, and if she grasps it with both hands, I'm afraid she won't be able to cope with it." ”

"But when he only walks one way, he has no way out, won't the psychological pressure be too great?" said Liang with a distressed face.

Zhen Huiyuan smiled and said, "The pressure is indeed there, but as long as she can go down step by step, she doesn't have to be afraid." ”

When she said this, Zhen Huiyuan looked at Jiang Yuetang with affection.

Her mother's gaze made Jiang Yuetang realize the severity of her situation again, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.

Yes, she is now on a path where there is no turning back and there is no way out. Then, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road is, she has to go on tenaciously.

Taking advantage of Zhen Huiyuan's chat with Liang's, Jiang Yuetang left the living room and walked towards the courtyard.

As she sat in the room, she felt so stuffy that she came out to breathe.

There is only one rose and three boxwood trees planted in the courtyard, so the whole courtyard looks clean and spacious.

Jiang Yuetang unconsciously walked towards the rose.

This is the time of year when the roses are in full bloom, and the red flowers are full of branches, which are especially beautiful against the green leaves.

Jiang Yuetang stretched out her hand and pulled down the largest and most colorful one slightly, and then half-tiptoed to get closer and smell it.

In the past, she would relax whenever she smelled the flowers, but today she found that her nerves were still tense and her mood was quite restless, as if there was still a lot of work to be done.

She suddenly realized that she could no longer have the same relaxed state of mind as before, and her heart suddenly felt like a thousand pounds of stone.

Can I get out of the way with the promotion of the strategist?

By the time Tong Wenxian and his brother Tong Wenkai came back from school, it was almost lunchtime, and Jiang Yuetang was sitting on a stone bench by the small pond watching the fish in the pond.

The first thing she heard was the hip-hop of the two teenagers, followed by the sound of footsteps, and when she raised her eyes to look in the direction where the sound came from, she happened to meet Tong Wenkai's gaze, and hurriedly subconsciously stood up.

Although she had never met Tong Wenkai before, she guessed from his silhouette that he should be Tong Wenxian's brother.

Tong Wenkai is half a head taller than Tong Wenxian, but his appearance is quieter and more delicate, and he looks about eleven or twelve years old.

Seeing that it was Jiang Yuetang, Tong Wenkai hurriedly said to Tong Wenxian: "Your little friend is here." ”

Tong Wenxian only noticed Jiang Yuetang at this time, and immediately threw his schoolbag and ran towards Jiang Yuetang.

He hugged Jiang Yuetang and said, "When did you come?" Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

In fact, Tong Wenxian wanted to visit Jiang Yueting in Jiangfu a few days ago, but Liang refused, saying that in order to avoid bad luck, he would not be allowed to go until forty-nine days after the funeral.

Seeing that his mother refused, he had no choice but to give up, but he always remembered Jiang Yueting in his heart.

Jiang Yuetang was caught off guard by his enthusiasm, and his face turned red, but in order not to show his flaws, he still pretended to be calm and let him hold him, and said softly: "I only came here for a while, and it was a decision made this morning, so I didn't have time to inform you in advance." ”

"It's okay, it's okay," Tong Wenxian waved his hand again and again, and then took her hand tightly and said, "The tomato we planted together last time is now growing taller and has produced many small tomatoes, come, I'll take you to see it." ”

After that, Tong Wenxian took Jiang Yuetang's hand and ran to the small vegetable garden behind the yard.

Tong Wenkai was thrown aside by them.

But he was clearly not angry.

Anyway, every time Jiang Yueting came to his younger brother, he would forget about him, his brother, so he stuck out his tongue indifferently, picked up the small schoolbag that his younger brother threw on the ground, and walked leisurely to the study.
