Zhou Tong'er looked at her father's frowning and glaring expression, lowered her head in aggrieved manner, and responded reluctantly.
"Yes, Tong'er knows that he was wrong."
Zhou Baoyu let out a silent sigh, and an imperceptible hint of heartache flashed deep in his eyes.
Liu Mingzhi lowered his head slightly and glanced at Zhou Tong'er. Seeing the sullen grievance on her pretty face, he turned to look at Zhou Baoyu calmly.
"Baoyu."
When Zhou Baoyu heard this, he immediately stood up from the stone bench.
"Commander, the general is here."
Young Master Liu looked indifferent, his eyes as calm as a calm pond.
"Baoyu, as a parent, it is a good thing to be strict in educating your children.
However……"
Young Master Liu only said two words after that, and did not continue to say the rest.
Zhou Baoyu felt Liu Mingzhi's calm eyes, which seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and he suddenly panicked and instinctively avoided his gaze.
When Liu Mingzhi saw Zhou Baoyu's uneasy expression, he closed the jade fan with a flick of his hand and began to beat it gently in the palm of his hand.
Staring at Zhou Baoyu in silence for a long time, Young Master Liu spoke again: "However, being too strict with children may not be a good thing.
Especially, that kind of inexplicable severity."
When Liu Mingzhi said the word "inexplicable", he deliberately emphasized his tone.
He knew in his heart that as long as Zhou Baoyu was not a fool, he would definitely understand what he meant.
Zhou Baoyu raised his head and looked at Young Master Liu, then nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, the commander-in-chief is right, the general understands.
When you educate your children in the future, you must control a certain standard."
After hearing Zhou Baoyu's answer, Young Master Liu once again had a cheerful smile on his face.
"Well, that's right.
Baoyu."
"Commander?"
"I have to say one thing, your Tong girl's tutor is really good.
Especially in terms of moral character, it is even more excellent.
In the past, when I was still the king of Northern Xinjiang, I had personal dealings with Tong girl.
Moreover, the two of us have dealt with each other more than once.
I am quite satisfied with Tong'er's virtue and character.
To tell you frankly, I have a very good personal relationship with Tong Yatou."
When Zhou Baoyu heard what Mr. Liu said behind him, he couldn't help but look stunned.
Has his daughter Zhou Tong'er ever dealt with Liu Mingzhi in private?
When did this happen? I don't know anything about it.
After a moment of silence with a puzzled look on his face, he turned to look at his wife, Zhang Wanjun.
At that time, there were constant wars between the Three Kingdoms, and I could not stay at home for long in a year.
Sometimes, being able to rest at home for half a month is already a luxury for me.
Therefore, I and my wife, children, and children at home spend less time together and more time apart.
Especially the children under his knees, I can rarely be by their side.
In this case, it is understandable that I don't know the daily situation of my children.
However, his wife Zhang Wanjun is different.
Whenever he was away on an expedition, his wife Zhang Wanjun took care of all the affairs at home.
She should be very clear about the daily situation of her children.
The reason why Zhou Baoyu looked at Zhang Wanjun was because he hoped she could give him some hints.
Not only Zhou Baoyu heard what Mr. Liu said later, but Zhang Wanjun, who was sitting next to Qi Yun and the third princess, also heard it clearly.
When she first heard what Young Master Liu said, the reaction on Zhang Wanjun's face was exactly the same as that of her husband, Zhou Baoyu.
They all looked slightly startled at first, and then showed a puzzled expression on their faces.
Zhang Wanjun, like Zhou Baoyu, had no idea when her daughter had private dealings with Liu Mingzhi, the former king of the dragon and now the king of a country.
Moreover, we have dealt with him more than once.
It's okay to have some dealings with him, but he still has a good personal relationship with him.
No matter how you think about it, this is unlikely.
Does your own daughter still have such great abilities?
Zhang Wanjun noticed her husband's gaze and raised her head slightly to look at Zhou Baoyu.
Seeing her husband's confused look, Zhang Wanjun gently pursed her red lips a few times, and shook her head at Zhou Baoyu with her beautiful eyes.
The couple has been sleeping in the same bed together for decades.
Sometimes, without too many words, just a look or a look.
It's enough to understand each other's thoughts.
Zhou Baoyu saw his wife's gaze returning and instantly understood what she wanted to express.
That is, my husband and I don’t know what’s going on.
Zhou Baoyu got an answer from his wife, which made him even more confused.
Even, there is a little more confusion.
No, what exactly is going on?
How could my caring little cotton-padded jacket have ever dealt with the Marshal in private?
You know, the Marshal's previous status was not as noble as his current status.
But he was also a big shot above the court, one person below ten thousand people.
As the one-word king who oversees all military and political affairs of the 27 prefectures and 152 states in Northern Xinjiang.
With such a noble status, it would be difficult for even a feudal official from the twenty-seventh mansion in Northern Xinjiang to meet his own commander.
It was difficult for the powerful feudal officials to see him, let alone his daughter Zhou Tong'er.
Without her father's recommendation, she wouldn't even be qualified to step into the Prince's Palace in Northern Xinjiang.
Zhou Baoyu is one of Liu Dashao's cronies, and one of the Six Guards Generals of the New Army with 300,000 cavalry.
He naturally knew how much power Liu Mingzhi had in his hands and the prestige he held in the eyes of the people when he was the king of the current dynasty.
According to the situation back then when the commander-in-chief of his family was still the king, he would say something treasonous and unethical.
Among the twenty-seven mansions in Northern Xinjiang, you don't have to know who the current emperor is.
However, you can't help but know who the one-word king who oversees all military and political affairs of the twenty-seven prefectures in Northern Xinjiang is.
In particular, when Liu Mingzhi took over the power of Northern Xinjiang, he also had an honor bestowed upon him by the then late emperor Li Baiyu, an honor that no civil or military leader in the dynasty could match.
That is, guarding the gate of Northern Xinjiang from generation to generation.
When there are no unexpected circumstances.
Listen to the tune but not the propaganda!
At that time, my daughter Zhou Tong'er was only about twelve or thirteen years old at best.
His daughter had personal dealings with such a big shot.
Actually, we have reached the point where we have a very good personal relationship.
No matter how I thought about it, I felt it was impossible.
Could it be that the commander-in-chief is joking with himself?
But, this kind of joke is a little too big, right?
Liu Mingzhi noticed the little movement between the couple and glanced at Zhou Tong'er next to him with a smile, pretending that he didn't notice anything.
Qi Yun and her sisters have been observing every move of their husband.
Seeing her husband's smiling face, Qi Yun stood up with a smile, picked up a cup of tea and handed it over.
Liu Mingzhi took the tea from the beauty's hand, looked sideways at Liu Chengqian who was standing opposite the stone table, nodding and lowering his eyebrows, and gave Qi Yun a cryptic wink.
Qi Yun immediately understood what her husband meant, leaned over and sat down, and gently slid her fingers on the back of the third princess's hand.
The third princess felt Qi Yun's movements, glanced at Zhang Wanjun, who was frowning slightly and thinking about something secretly, and turned her body with a smile on her face.
Zhou Baoyu stopped thinking and looked at Young Master Liu with tangled eyes.
Liu Mingzhi nodded and took a sip of tea, gently moved the tea lid in his hand, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and glanced at Zhou Baoyu with a half-smile.
Zhou Baoyu hesitated for a moment, but decided to directly ask the questions in his heart.
He knew very well that sometimes, being smart would only be self-defeating.
Especially in front of someone like Marshal, being smart will not only be self-defeating.
It is even possible to get counterproductive results.
"Handsome."
Mr. Liu gently chewed the tea leaves in his mouth, looked at Zhou Baoyu and nodded with a chuckle.
"Hmm? Baoyu, tell me."
"Commander, you just said that when you were in Yingzhou, Northern Xinjiang, you had dealings with your little girl Tong'er?"
"Well, that's right."
"Have we dealt with him more than once?"
"That's right."
"Have a good personal relationship?"
"Of course!"
"Commander, are you kidding me again?"
Young Master Liu turned his head and glanced at Zhou Tong'er, then smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
"Are you kidding me about something like this?
Besides, Tong Yatou is sitting next to me.
If I am joking with you, wouldn't you know if you ask her?"
When Zhou Baoyu heard what Mr. Liu said, he immediately turned to look at his daughter Zhou Tong'er.
"Girl!"
Zhou Tong'er, who was twirling her fingers silently, heard her father's greeting and quickly raised her head and responded.
"Hey, Dad?"
"Girl, tell my father, is what the commander just said true?"
Zhou Tong'er turned her head to look at Liu Mingzhi and nodded silently.
"Tell me back to dad, everything my uncle said is true."
After Zhou Baoyu heard his daughter's answer, he turned to look at Mr. Liu and scratched his head in confusion.
"Commander, when you were in charge of the 27th Prefecture in Northern Xinjiang and took charge of all important military and political affairs.
We brothers spend most of our time by your side.
It is perfectly normal for them to stay together and not dare to say anything, but to see each other every now and then.
We brothers are so diligent in meeting each other, how come I have never seen my little girl interacting with the handsome man once?"
Young Master Liu looked at Zhou Baoyu's surprised expression and sighed sadly.
"Baoyu, think about it carefully.
Are you sure we brothers haven't lost contact for a long time?"
Zhou Baoyu frowned, muttered for a while, and turned his face slightly as if he had thought of something.
"Commander, the general has thought of it. You mean the third year of Yongping..."
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand to signal before Zhou Baoyu finished what he said.
"Baoyu."
Zhou Baoyu's words stopped abruptly, and he looked at Mr. Liu with doubtful eyes.
"Commander?"
"There is no need to mention the past."
"Yes, I understand."
As Zhou Baoyu spoke, he turned around and glanced at his daughter, with a complicated expression and a bitter smile.
"It's just that the general never thought that my little girl Tong'er would be lucky enough to be appreciated by you, the commander-in-chief during those days."
Liu Mingzhi put the folding fan in his hand into his sleeve, walked to the edge of the pavilion with the teacup in his hand, and stared in the direction of the palace with a deep gaze.
"He is full of passion and cannot be tolerated.
Originally he wanted to be loyal to the emperor, serve the country, and have the world in his heart, but in the end he abandoned his heart.
When I feel sad and angry, I will inevitably want to drink to drown my sorrows.
It is precisely because of this that I happened to meet Tong Yatou at Qianli Scenery Restaurant.
As for the acquaintance between us, it has been a long time ago.
I won’t go into details one by one.
Let's continue with the previous topic.
I am very satisfied with this girl Tong'er, both in terms of virtue and character."
As Liu Mingzhi spoke, he looked happily at Qi Yun and the third princess.
"Not only am I satisfied, but also sisters Yun'er and Yan'er.
I also like Tong Yatou very much!
Especially Yan'er, she really wants to recognize this girl Tong'er as her goddaughter right away."
When Zhou Baoyu and Zhang Wanjun heard Mr. Liu's laughing words, one of them trembled and the other delicate body trembled.
The couple looked at each other, and they both felt very clear in their hearts.
Liu Mingzhi said so many words in succession.
Now, finally let’s get to the topic of today.
“When Yan’er told me that she wanted to recognize Tong Yatou as her goddaughter, I was very supportive at first.
However, after I thought about it again and again, I felt that it was extremely inappropriate at this time.
After all, we, the couple, and others don’t know what Tong Yatou is thinking in her heart.
We don't know whether Tong Yatou is willing to be our goddaughter, so naturally we can't decide on our own.
Otherwise, in my capacity as commander-in-chief.
If you act like this, it will inevitably mean that you are using your power to overwhelm others.
Therefore, I rejected Yan'er's idea.
Fortunately, there is always a way out."
Young Master Liu paused and looked towards Zhou Baoyu with a slight smile.
"Baoyu, this time, Mrs. Sister-in-law, you two suddenly came to Beijing. You probably already know what happened between Cheng Qian, Tong Yatou and their two children.
right."
"The last general... the last general..."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Zhou Baoyu's hesitant expression, hesitating to speak, and turned to look at his youngest, Liu Chengqian.
"Chengqian."
Liu Chengqian's body trembled, and he immediately stood up and bowed.
"The child is here."
Liu Mingzhi raised his head and drank all the tea in the cup, then looked up at Liu Chengqian with a deep look.
"Kneel down and apologize to your Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou.
In the past, you were a soldier under your uncle Zhou, so you only had to practice etiquette during the march."
"Yes, my child obeys."
Liu Chengqian stood up and responded, kneeling down on one knee to Zhou Baoyu without hesitation.
"Young man Liu Chengqian, please make amends to your uncle."
Zhou Baoyu's face tightened, and he quickly leaned over to help Zhou Baoyu up, but Young Master Liu stopped him.
"Baoyu."
Zhang Wanjun, who had just stood up and was about to help Liu Chengqian, couldn't help but stop his actions when he heard Young Master Liu's words.
Zhang Wanjun straightened up and looked at her husband with a nervous expression.
Zhou Baoyu looked embarrassed and looked helplessly towards Young Master Liu.
"Commander, what are you doing? Let Cheng do it quickly."
"Why are you doing this? This kid made a mistake and deserves to be punished."
