Mr. Cen didn't expect that he would answer like this, and was stunned for a moment: "So, are you planning to start a career first and then start a family? I'm afraid... it's not good, right? Jiantong, you are not young anymore, and it's impossible to delay any further. Besides, you are already a child now, and you have achieved some achievements..."

After persuading, the general meaning is that he hopes that Liu Jian will "get married early".

Because he can still wait, but the girl can't afford to wait.

If you really have to wait for Liu Jiantong to get married, then you will be willing to get married. What age is the girl he can marry at that time? She must be much younger than him.

Generally speaking, when a girl gets old, she gets married, and it is impossible to keep dragging her on. Not to mention that she missed the flowering period, the girl is still not easy to marry, but even the court does not allow her - the girl will not marry if she doesn't marry at all, and her parents are guilty and will be punished...

Eighteen is the upper limit, but in fact, before the age of sixteen, someone urged him to become an "old girl" that no one wants.

Mr. Cen said it with great sincerity, but Liu Jiantong dared not let it go easily. He could not say: "I think those girls' families are too weak and want to find someone more powerful."

To put it bluntly, I'm afraid I'll be scolded by the gentleman.

As a scholar, he still has to be shameless.

"Oh..." Mr. Cen sighed, "I originally had a suitable marriage here and wanted to introduce it to you, but unfortunately you insisted on not wanting to get married so early, so you can only give up."

Liu Jiantong breathed a sigh of relief.

——Sure enough, but fortunately, the gentleman is more reasonable, otherwise...

——Wait, he doesn’t seem to know which one he wants to be a mediator, right?

Suddenly, Liu Jiantong felt that he was a little loss again.

——What a pity if the gentleman is a big shot in the matchmaker and he missed it because of it?

Unfortunately, because he insisted on not wanting to get married so early, the expected "father-in-law and son-in-law" failed to make it happen. Mr. Cen was a little disappointed and lost the interest in talking. He waved his hand and let him out of the house.

Liu Jiantong also looked regretful when he came out of the house. He should first ask which one he wanted to be a matchmaker.

On the other side, Mrs. Cen heard that her husband had seen the student and could not sit still, so she immediately found an excuse to come over and ask about the situation.

Mr. Cen saw her coming, sighed and shook his head.

"What's wrong? He didn't agree?" Mrs. Cen was surprised.

Liu Jiantong is a student of her husband. He is so brave that he dares to reject his husband?

In her opinion, as long as her husband mentions this matter, it will be a sure thing.

"No, he doesn't want to get married so early, he wants to start a career and then start a family..." Mr. Cen said.

"What should I start a career first and then start a family? It's not that he looked down on you and deliberately shirked it?" Mrs. Cen's face was not good in an instant.

She didn't think that Liu Jiantong really didn't want to get married at such an old age. Instead, she felt that she had passed the exam and looked down on him as a gentleman who had no fame.

"You... can you guess others so casually?" Mr. Cen was a little unhappy when he heard this. "I taught Jiantong. I don't know who he is? He must not be such a person. He didn't even ask who I introduced, but directly pushed him. If he really refused because he looked down on me, he shouldn't he ask who I want to be a matchmaker first?"

"He didn't ask?"

"No question."

"This is almost the same." Mrs. Cen felt a little relieved, but she thought of another question, "What should I do now? I thought Shunde was good before, but you didn't think it was okay; Jiantong, you thought it was okay, but they didn't want to get married at all. Who are you going to marry your girl?"

"Uh..." For a moment, Mr. Cen had no suitable candidate. He said, "What's the hurry? She just started to look at each other. Take your time and you will always meet the right one, so don't worry."

Liu Jiantong didn't know that after he left, these things happened to his husband.

When he returned to the dormitory, his luggage had been sent back to the room by his fellow brothers and piled up there.

After all, if others are not here, it is difficult for them to open their luggage and "open" their things.

"Senior Brother Jiantong, you are back. Come and see if it's these things?"

"Didn't you lose it?"

"We have moved all the things in the car for you."

...

Liu Jiantong stretched out his head and looked at it, and smiled and said, "We have moved down, nothing is missing, thank you!"

"Oh, what's there to thank? We are classmates, we should help each other."

Someone came over with a smile and asked him to talk about the house trial.

Some people also said, "What are you talking about? Senior Brother Jiantong has been traveling for so long and is tired. He doesn't know if he has eaten."

"Yes, Senior Brother Jiantong, have you had dinner? If you don't eat it, let's bring you a bowl of sweet potato flour outside? The sweet potato flour from Shunde is so delicious."

Liu Jiantong's eyes flashed: "Shunde... why didn't you see others?"

"Ah, you don't know. Shunde is going to study in the state, so I won't be with us in the future."

Some people suddenly envied and said that they could not have imagined that there were so many brothers in their family. Zhu Qi was already in the school late, but he was the first to leave.

The state school is an official school, and it is not something that ordinary people can enter.

I don't know when it will be their turn...

"Don't think about it," someone pushed the man and said, "The tuition fees for state schools are not cheap. You have to pass the exam very well like Shunde, and you have to pay for the silver. You still have hope. If you can't get the silver, you can't afford to attend the official school."

This is not fake. Before Zhu Qi was admitted to the scholarly school, he would basically come to Cen's Academy to study, either poor people or ordinary families that no one wants.

If you are a little better, you can enter the Bai Family School next door. If you can't go in, you will consider it if you can.

So how many people can come here to afford money and go to Shangguan School?

“That’s true.”

The man responded, and several people changed the subject again. No one noticed Liu Jiantong's silence.

He had known that Zhu Qi had received a letter of recommendation from County Magistrate Yu, and he had thought about whether Zhu Qi would go. He just thought: Zhu Qi was so "stupid", would he be stupid this time, and felt that he couldn't bear to leave Cen's Academy, so he stayed there?

After all, Zhu Qi's two nephews are still here, and Mr. Cen is also very good to Zhu Qi...

Thinking of the "small stoves" that Mr. Cen once gave Zhu Qi, I felt a little uncomfortable.

He is not stupid. Zhu Qi's ability to pass the exam so quickly must be related to Mr. Cen's small training.

Rationally, he knew that Mr. Cen would have a small meal with Zhu Qi like this, mainly because of Zhu Qi's excellent memory and never forget it, which is a ability that ordinary people do not have.

But emotionally, I am still a little jealous - why does such good memory grow on a fool, not on him?
