Liu Zhimo basically went home as soon as school ended, and rarely stayed in the academy.
Even when he had to prepare for the exam, he went home at his usual time.
On this day, he packed up his books and walked to the gate of the academy, but was stopped by Mr. Tong.
"Sir...", he greeted Mr. Tong gently, "Do you have something to do with the students?" β
Mr. Tong looked at Liu Zhimo without a trace and nodded with satisfaction.
His student is very good-looking, no wonder his daughter will take a fancy to him, and he will not hesitate to open his mouth directly to his father, and let him test Liu Zhimo's tone.
"I found a book and thought it was quite suitable for you to read, but I forgot to bring it today, Ziqian, you can go home with me and get it!"
For the sake of his precious daughter, he can only make such an excuse.
He was very satisfied with Liu Zhimo, and it would be 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 brought Liu Zhimo into the study, and Tong Wanrong's maid Xia He ran back with a gust of wind.
"Miss... Miss..."
"What's it like to scream?" Dongmei glanced at it and scolded her with a calm face.
Dongmei and Xia He are both Tong Wanrong's first-class maids, Dongmei is steady, and Xia He is a little out of the ordinary.
Xia He flattened her mouth at Dongmei, her steps slowed down, and she whispered Miss again.
Tong Wanrong put down the brush in her hand, walked to the side and washed her hands, took the handkerchief handed by Dongmei and wiped her hands clean, and then slowly opened her mouth, "What's wrong?" What is it that excites you so much? β
"Miss, guess who's coming?" As soon as Xia He talked about this, his mood became excited again.
Seeing Xia He raising her eyebrows and squeezing her eyes, Tong Wanrong's heart was struck, could it be...?
Her heart beat faster, she held her handkerchief tightly, and asked calmly, "Who is it?" β
When she asked this, she was a little nervous and stared at Xia He.
Xia He cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Young Master Liu is here, and I saw the master take him into the study." β
It's really...
As soon as Tong Wanrong heard Xia He's words, a sweet smile bloomed on her face.
She walked to the dresser and sat down in a little panic, reached out and touched her bun, "Xia He, help me re-comb my bun." She waited day and night, and finally she waited for him to come.
She must make a good impression on him this time and make him remember her.
"Hello..."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-turned bun, okay?" β
"Good..."
Xia He quickly combed her half-flipped bun, Tong Wanrong looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.
She changed into a white dress again, then stood up elegantly and walked to the study with Xia He.

Mr. Tong took a book on the bookshelf and handed it to Liu Zhimo, Liu Zhimo glanced at it, it was a travelogue, he was a little surprised in his heart, but his face did not show it, he reached out and took it, and said thank you, Mr.
"Ziqian, aren't you curious, why did I give you a travelogue?"
"Students want to hear about it."
Mr. Tong stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books, and now you don't have such conditions, then experience it from the book." He sat on the chair and asked Liu Zhimo to sit down before continuing: "Reading more travelogues will give you new inspiration when writing articles." β
Liu Zhimo put the travelogue into his book bag, "Yes, the student remembers the teachings of Mr. β
Glancing at the steady Liu Zhimo, he became more and more satisfied.
It is really rare to be so unarrogant and impatient at such a young age.
This kid can go a long way in the future.
"Come, play a game of chess with me!" Mr. Tong smiled and moved the chessboard over and beckoned Liu Zhimo to play chess with him.
Liu Zhimo couldn't, so he could only respond.
Halfway through the game of chess, Tong Wanrong's voice came from outside the door, "Daddy, can my daughter go in?" β
Mr. Tong smiled helplessly and said come in.
Tong Wanrong came in with a food box, "My daughter made a snack and brought it to her father to taste." Of course, she didn't make this snack, she just used the dim sum as an excuse to come and see Liu Zhimo.
"Oh? Then you have to try it. β
Tong Wanrong was very happy that her father gave her face like this, she carefully opened the food box and took out the snacks inside.
She glanced at Liu Zhimo from the corner of her eye, and said gently, "Daddy, this is hibiscus lamb, you taste it..."
Mr. Tong smiled and picked up a piece of hibiscus cake, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and nodded and said, not bad.
He turned his head to look at Liu Zhimo, "Ziqian, this is my girl Wanrong, the hibiscus lamb she made, you can also taste it." β
Liu Zhimo looked up at Tong Wanrong at this time, and as soon as he saw her, he recognized her as the girl who asked him for help in the academy before.
It turns out that she is the daughter of her husband...
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 don't know if this pastry is suitable for Senior Brother Liu's taste?" β
"It's okay." Liu Zhimo smiled politely, he was used to eating the pastries made by Li Qingling, and felt that the pastries made by other people were not as good as those made by Li Qingling.
Tong Wanrong's heart was slightly relaxed, as long as he liked it.
She decided to learn how to make hibiscus cake from the cook, and next time she must let him eat what she made herself.
Mr. Tong saw that his daughter was looking at Liu Zhimo, and he didn't turn his eyes when she saw it, he coughed lightly, which shocked her back to her senses, and then said, "Okay, Rong'er will go down if there is nothing to do, and Ziqian and I will continue to play chess." β
He didn't want his daughter to lose face here.
Tong Wanrong had a strong attitude towards her father, and she could only reluctantly withdraw from the study.
"Ziqian, come, continue to play chess."
The two played three games of chess in a row, one loss, one win and one draw, which was considered a tie.
Mr. Tong didn't expect Liu Zhimo's chess skills to be so high, and he could actually draw with him.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and looked at Liu Zhimo with a smile, "Ziqian's chess skills are good, have you ever learned?" He originally thought that Liu Zhimo's chess skills were not high, but this time, it really surprised him.
Liu Zhimo picked up the chess pieces back in the basket, and he replied gently, "My grandfather loves to play chess and learned it from him." "The old man likes to play chess very much, and when he plays chess, he grabs him and accompanies him.
This is how this chess skill is practiced.
Mr. Tong snorted, he slowly drank a cup of tea, put the teacup on the table, looked at Liu Zhimo, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Ziqian is sixteen years old, right?" Did your family help you get engaged? β
"Yes, I'm going to get married on the tenth day of next month, if my husband is free, you can come and have a glass of wine."
"What?" Hearing the news at first glance, Mr. Tong was a little shocked, "You... You're getting married next month? Why haven't I heard you talk about it? β
Seeing that the beaked duck flew, Mr. Tong was in a bad mood.
He stood up and walked around the study twice, "You are going to take the exam at the end of next month, how can you get married at this time?" He was a little angry in his heart, "What does your father think?" How can you get married at this time? No, I need to talk to your mom and dad about it. β
Although it is a pity that Liu Zhimo cannot be his son-in-law, he really values this student and doesn't want him to be disturbed by those tedious things to his exam.
Liu Zhimo's father and mother are really unreliable.
The corners of Liu Zhimo's mouth twitched, he didn't expect Mr. Tong's reaction to be so big.
"Sir, my father and mother have been gone for a long time." He said lightly: "I decided to get married next month." β
The fact that he got married would not affect his exams, and he had this confidence.
Hearing this, Mr. Tong's eyes were about to pop out, he frowned and looked at Liu Zhimo, and scolded him dissatisfied, "What do you think?" Why did you decide to get married on the 10th day of the next month? Can't you wait until the exam is over to get married? β
He didn't know that Liu Zhimo's father and mother were gone, listen to him, he was in charge of the family?
It seems that he is going to find some time to find out about the family situation of his proud protΓ©gΓ©.
The smile on Liu Zhimo's face narrowed, and he said very 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 for him, he would not let others question his marriage, "It's not too early, the students should go back, and if they go back late, the family will be worried." β
Mr. Tong looked at Liu Zhimo, he sighed, nodded, and asked people to send him out.
As soon as 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 face seemed to be a little bad, and her heart chuckled. Does Liu Zhimo disagree?
She smiled and called Daddy.
Mr. Tong looked up and saw his daughter, and sighed again, "Rong'er, Daddy will choose a husband for you." β
Tong Wanrong's face turned pale, and she hurriedly asked what was going on? What did Liu Zhimo say? Didn't he say yes?
Mr. Tong saw that his daughter was so attentive to Liu Zhimo, and his heart sank, "Ziqian will get married on the tenth day of the first month of next month, you, you don't have to think about him." β
While his daughter was not 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, doesn't he like me, so he lies like this and lies to you? β
Seeing his daughter's obsessed look, Mr. Tong hated iron in his heart, "I didn't mention you at all, I just asked him if his family helped him get married?" He just told me about getting married next month. After a pause, "Rong'er, he's not your lover, don't worry about him, remember?" β
He was really afraid that his daughter would do something detrimental to the door.
Tong Wanrong couldn't accept it, she didn't respond to Mr. Tong's words, and ran out of the study crying.
