Chapter 101 Mr. Tong Joins the Game
Tang Mingchen now understood why Liu Rumei smiled so happily just now.
Yes, that money-loving guy looks really cute.
"The eldest son of the Liu family is indeed not an ordinary person."
Tang Mingchen praised her like this, and Liu Xiurong looked at him.
"Who are you? Why are you following my sister?"
Although she likes to hear compliments from others, Liu Xiurong does have a bottom line.
How disrespectful it was for this man to be walking in their backyard!
"Brother, this is my guest. Please don't offend him. This guest is invaluable."
After Liu Rumei said this, Liu Xiurong looked at Tang Mingchen again.
To be honest, this guy's looks are really enviable.
But is it really invaluable? If it is invaluable, why did he follow his sister?
"younger sister……"
"Brother, this is my business, please don't interfere."
Liu Rumei's sudden coldness made Liu Xiurong feel uncomfortable.
But he never wanted to focus on his brothers and sisters, so since his sister said so, forget it.
Liu Xiurong snorted coldly and turned away. Tang Mingchen was in a good mood at the moment.
After all, Liu Rumei's protection of him just now was very obvious, which made him feel warm in his heart.
In order to protect herself, she even went so far as to offend Liu Xiurong. Isn't this going against Yin Zi?
This girl cares a lot about money.
"Dongqing, go tell Qiulu to ask the eldest master to paint well and stop being lazy."
Dong Qing nodded and left quickly. Tang Mingchen felt a little helpless.
It turns out that this girl had already arranged someone, so I was just being too self-indulgent.
Zhou Haoxuan looked at Mr. Tong in surprise.
This gentleman arrived just in time; the food fell down as soon as it was served.
He saw that the other person was dressed like a scholar, so he asked a few questions and found out that this man was his eldest cousin's husband.
Since he was a gentleman, he naturally treated him with courtesy and did not dare to act rudely.
But the gentleman ate too much and he suspected that he would be hungry today.
Just at this moment, Liu Rumei came, bringing with her Tang Mingchen, who was there to watch the fun and feel jealous.
"Cousin, you're here."
Zhou Haoxuan was a little happy. He felt that his cousin would definitely not be hungry here.
Zhou Haoxuan's behavior also made Tang Mingchen a little unhappy.
It's just a meeting, what are you doing so happy?
"Cousin, Mr. Tong. Sir, are the food and drinks to your liking?"
Hearing Liu Rumei's question, Mr. Tong nodded casually.
But his eyes were not on Liu Rumei, but on Tang Mingchen. This guy was not simple.
This girl is such a troublemaker. Why does she always pick on such a powerful guy when she can pick on anyone else?
He is just a simple gentleman who doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the rich and powerful. He just likes to eat and drink.
Liu Rumei looked at the changes in Mr. Tong's expression and realized that this man was very cunning.
In just a short while, his thoughts probably changed several times.
But it doesn’t matter, she will always find a way to get Mr. Tong to work for them.
"Sir, good wine is rare, but good students are rare. Although my cousin has some shortcomings, he is diligent and studious, and a decent scholar. If I become your student, I think I will not disgrace your talent."
When Liu Rumei said this, Zhou Haoxuan was stunned.
It turns out that my cousin went to so much trouble just to find a husband for herself. My cousin is so good to me.
However, this gentleman seems to be very arrogant and he probably won't agree easily.
Tang Mingchen had other thoughts. As expected, Liu Rumei was very good to Zhou Haoxuan.
She took great pains to find a husband for him.
But this guy is average looking, really average, so it’s no big deal for him to just find a husband.
Even though I comforted myself in this way, I still felt unhappy and needed someone to comfort me.
But Liu Rumei didn't notice that this man was in a bad mood, but was thinking about bargaining with Mr. Tong.
Mr. Tong took a bite of the braised meat and had to admit that Xia Zhu's cooking skills were good, and Liu Rumei also accurately found her own shortcomings.
But for this girl, it was worth all the trouble just to become a master to a cousin she wasn't very familiar with.
To be honest, just throw the money at it, no need to put in so much effort.
"Become a disciple? That's not a big deal, but before that, let me make it clear that the master leads you to the door, but the practice is up to you.
I am only your teacher, but I will not interfere with your future. Whether you can pass the exam or not, whether you can get a good score or not, that is up to you."
Mr. Tong has been particularly cautious with his words now because of his failure with Liu Xiurong.
Really, he is just a teacher, not a god, and he cannot guarantee that they all get into high school.
"Zhou Haoxuan thanks you, sir. I will study hard and will not let you down."
Mr. Tong looked at Zhou Haoxuan and thought, well, he is still an honest child.
Liu Rumei smiled, then looked at Mr. Tong and said, "I know that you are not only talented in writing, but also a great talent. Now I have a question that bothers me, and I want to ask you, but is there a solution?"
Mr. Tong looked at Liu Rumei, then at Tang Mingchen behind her. He was a little curious about what kind of problem it was that she couldn't find a solution to.
"Ten bottles of good wine."
Mr. Tong would naturally bargain, and Liu Rumei agreed without hesitation.
There are a lot of supplies in her space, including a lot of drinks, not only white wine, but also red wine and fruit wine.
"Sir, may I ask, if there is a severe drought, how should we respond and how should we resettle the victims?"
When Liu Rumei asked this question, Mr. Tong felt that the food in his mouth no longer tasted good.
Really, there should be less drinks.
Why would a gentleman like him need to know about flood and drought control?
Of course, he really knew it.
"If there really is a natural disaster and a severe drought, the first step would be to close the city gates. This would at least save the lives of the people in other cities."
Liu Rumei was a little surprised to hear this and asked, "What about the victims?"
"Disaster victims? Haha, you actually want to save the disaster victims! You are such a soft-hearted girl, it's a pity, it's too difficult."
Liu Rumei naturally knew that it was difficult, but was it really that difficult?
"Please talk to me, sir."
Tang Mingchen also stared at Mr. Tong, wanting to know what he could say.
"Okay, I'll tell you for the sake of the wine. If you really want to save the victims, then your entire Jingning Marquisate, plus the Zhou family, will have to be sacrificed.
"Little girl, what do you think the victims need to survive? Silver? Do you think there is enough silver?"
Liu Rumei thought about it carefully. Isn't this the same as the end of the world?
"It's not money that is needed, but food and shelter."
Mr. Tong didn't expect that Liu Rumei had such insight.
"That's right. You don't need money, you need food. In this drought, many grain merchants will take this opportunity to make a fortune.
And then again, even if you really prepared enough food, would they let you go if they gave you this chance to make money?
This is what I said, not only the Zhou family, but also the entire Marquisate, can't withstand such suppression and retaliation."
Mr. Tong just took a sip of wine and was in a good mood.
Sympathize with the world?
He was naturally sympathetic.
But he also felt sorry for himself. After all, he was just an old man and wanted to live a few good and peaceful days.
"What if I still want to intervene?" Liu Rumei asked.
