It was no secret that the Jiang family came back in the Diao family’s carriage. In addition, Sister Diao took the matchmaker to the Jiang family to propose marriage for their family Huo Lindong. Soon, the news that the Jiang family and the Diao family were likely to get married spread throughout Ping Village with the help of thoughtful people.
However, neither the Jiang family nor the Diao family came forward to confirm the matter. The news only spread for two or three days before being replaced by new gossip.
Years later, the book school in the village also began to resume classes. Because of the behavior of Miao Sanniang and others in leaving Jiang Wu by the river pond, Jiang Baozong chose to take his daughter to the book school as before.
Ever since Jiang Wu was ten years old, Jiang Baozong rarely took her to school. After all, there are only boys in the school.
The girls in the countryside could be proposed for marriage at the age of ten, so even if Jiang Wu was a mentally retarded fool, it was not suitable to keep her by his side.
But, Jiang Baozong was reluctant to keep his daughter at home, but he could not find a playmate with whom he could trust his daughter. After much deliberation, he took his daughter to the school.
When he was teaching, his daughter was waiting in the room next door. During the break between classes, he would go next door to accompany his daughter and teach her how to read and write.
His daughter is silly, so she may not remember many simple words even if he had taught her hundreds of times.
In two months, it will be the time for this year’s imperial exams. Students like Lin Pingchun and Huo Lindong who are promising will not come to the book school to attend classes. They would only come to the book school to ask Jiang Baozong for advice when they encountered unsolved questions.
Lin Pingchun came more diligently. Firstly, it was because he attached great importance to this imperial examination and studied hard day and night. Secondly, it was also because of his special relationship with Jiang Baozong and wanted to gain more experience in the imperial examination from Jiang Baozong.
And Huo Lindong was the least diligent among those students preparing for the exam.
When he was studying in the school, he was very quiet, sitting alone in the corner. As long as he was not called to answer a question by his master, he would never take the initiative to show off. For this reason, he had not made any good classmates in the school in the past few years.
But recently, Huo Lindong did not know what kind of medicine he had taken wrongly. He ran to the book school every day, showing a diligent look, even more active than Lin Pingchun.
“Thank you, Master, for clearing up the confusion.”
Huo Lindong looked at the annotations written by Jiang Baozong in the book, picked up the book, and left the school building. However, after asking the questions, he did not go home directly but turned a corner and went to the room next door.
He took out a rabbit made of straw rope from the lapel of his clothes, held the rabbit in his hand, and made a fist with his right hand. His palms were slightly sweaty. He did not know whether it was because he wore too many clothes that made him warm, or because he was a little nervous.
The little girl in the room was really mean. She was always lukewarm toward him. No matter how many nice things he said, she was not willing to talk to him. The slightly convex Adam’s apple on Huo Lindong’s neck rolled up and down.
Although the little girl’s appearance of sitting obediently and not talking was very strange, he wanted to see the other person’s eyes full of him.
Creak–
With a sound, the door was pushed open by Huo Lindong. Jiang Wu, who was struggling with the brush, diverted her attention and looked toward the door.
