The person who came was the second son of the Dai family, Dai Yuping. He had no intention of flirting with the girl, but he always wanted to meet her and see what this silly child was like, so that he could live up to the name of a well-behaved person as described by his father's friend.
After all, he is also very popular among the girls in Jeju City, but he doesn't know why none of them are attracted to him. After all, the first thing that attracts him is the Dai family's property. But after hearing that most of the property will be given to the eldest son and the children below the second son will not get any property, they just stay away from him. There are even some who are unwilling to fall behind and want to compete with their eldest brother. Their eyes are full of calculations, and he is not blind.
As a result, the little girl in front of him had only confusion and anxiety in her eyes. Even though she had been standing there for a long time like him, she didn't even look up at him. She was really focused.
Because Liu Ying never looked up, Dai Yuping left after staying for a while and went straight home. At this time, Mr. Liu and his father were fishing and were really free.
As a result, when Mr. Liu saw him, he casually asked a few questions about academic matters. As a result, Dai Yuping could only answer three or two out of ten questions, and he didn't know the answers to the rest. At this time, he suddenly understood why his father respected this person so much. No wonder this person was praised as the most capable person in Jeju City at that time.
"Sir, I am Dai Yuping, a student without a name. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to study with you?"
Dai Yuping was really impressed by this man's knowledge. In all these years, those teachers in the high-ranking colleges had never seen such a learned person outside. However, the teachers in the college did not think much of him. After all, his IQ was not very high, and he had to learn a lot by himself. Even though he was very smart, he did not show that he was a good student.
Mr. Liu looked at Dai Yuping in surprise, then turned to look at his good friend Dai Chunhua, asking with his eyes what this meant and what was going on.
Dai Chunhua pretended not to see it and stared at the pool as if there was some rare treasure inside.
"Why do you want to study with me? I remember your father said that you studied in the academy. The teachers in the academy are all very good. At least they have achieved the title of Juren. Why do you suddenly want to study with me?
If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate for me to take you in as my disciple. I have a ten-year-old disciple who will be taking the exam to become a student after the New Year. So it's not appropriate for me to take you in as my disciple."
Mr. Liu thought about it and decided to refuse. After all, if this person became his disciple, it would not be appropriate for him to rank behind Ruirui. After all, Ruirui had just celebrated his birthday and was only ten years old. It would not be appropriate for such an old man to call a child his senior brother.
Dai Yuping was very calm, in contrast. His knowledge was not that great. If he could find a good teacher, he could still make progress. Besides, his senior brother was only ten years old, so what? People learn things at different times, and the wisest one can be a teacher. This was normal. Well, if a ten-year-old child passed the examination and became a student, it was really amazing. When he was ten years old, he was still irritating his father.
"So what? It's normal for a wise man to be a teacher. Besides, I'm engaged to your daughter now. I just went to meet her secretly. She's a perfect match for a family, so I wanted to ask you to make the decision. So, you can be considered my father-in-law."
Dai Chunhua looked at Chi Zi with twitching mouth corners. This guy was really shameless. If he wasn't his own son, he would have pushed him into the water to cleanse his brain. Why was it all water?
Mr. Liu was also speechless. After all, this matter was just a verbal statement and it had not even been spread out. How could he go to meet someone secretly? He originally wanted to organize a group by himself and meet with the elders, but this person did not play by the rules and went to see someone secretly.
Dai Chunhua knew that it was pointless to pretend to be dead, so he turned around and asked the cunning second brother directly. He really couldn't get around this man's cunning.
"Are you sure? You know, engagement is no joke. We originally planned to hold a party for you two to get to know each other. After all, words are not enough, seeing is believing. Your personalities may not be compatible, so we can't let you two become a couple with enemies. You still have to think carefully."
Dai Yuping looked straight at his father with a resolute look in his eyes, and one could even tell that he had considered it carefully.
"Dad, I've known what my son wants since he was little. I haven't had any contact with the rich girls in Jeju City in these years because I know it's not suitable. After all, I can't give his mother a stable and wealthy life. These girls all live in ivory towers, rarely go out, and are even full of arrogance.
My son is also worried that he cannot afford to support them. After all, they also come from a merchant family, so it is normal for them to be a little arrogant. But my son is not suitable for such a person. My son is suitable for a man who is full of his heart and eyes, and the two of them can directly work together through thick and thin. My husband's daughter is very suitable for me, because I have seen how serious and studious she is. Even if she doesn't know something, she will wait for a while and ask the shopkeeper for advice after he is done.
Instead of those rich young ladies who would scream and shout when they are unhappy.
Even that quiet and gentle temperament is what my son wants, so I would like to ask you to arrange a marriage for me.
Please bear witness, sir, that I will never bully your daughter, nor will I take a concubine. Please agree to my request."
After saying that, he knelt down directly. Mr. Liu glanced at Dai Yuping and probably knew what this child was pursuing. Yingying was indeed very suitable for this man. The person was full of heart and soul and wanted a comfortable harbor when he returned home.
Yingying was taught to be silly, humble, and even a little self-deprecating. If these two people really lived together sincerely, her daughter would be controlled by this person, and he might even be the kind of person who had the final say.
