The real Teng Mansion is not in Li City, but in Shengjing. This Teng Mansion was the residence of Teng Tianhan when he was the prefect of Fucheng. It can be said that Teng Zhao has lived here since he was born.
It's not that he had never left. Teng Tianhan was busy with official duties and was afraid that his son would have no one to take care of him, so he sent him back to Teng Mansion in Shengjing to be raised by his grandmother. But after returning to Beijing, Teng Zhao cried day and night, even crying until he fainted, which made him weak.
His body was even weaker, and he always wanted to follow his deceased mother, which frightened everyone in the family.
This was Teng Tianhan's only son. If something happened to him, he would lose both his wife and his son, and it would be very bad for his reputation.
Furthermore, Teng Zhao had an unpleasant temperament and was said to be a child when he was born. Even his own grandmother could not love him enough. He always felt a little resentful in his heart, so he discussed with Teng Tianhan and decided to treat Teng Zhao as his son.
To send him back is to send him back to live in his mansion in Ningzhou Fucheng.
The strange thing is that when he returned to his birthplace, he would not cry day and night, he would be quiet, but his temper would still be lonely.
If Teng Zhao did not return to the capital, Teng Tianhan served as the prefect for two terms until last year when he finally completed his term and was transferred back to Marble to become the Shaoqing. His son could only be taken care of by his old servants and others. Now that he is back, he is on a foreign mission.
Came back for a visit.
After hearing this, Qin Liuxi was very curious and asked: "My master always talks about his temperament. What is your temperament like that gives you such a headache?"
Teng Tianhan's eyes flashed with a hint of fatigue, and he said: "He doesn't like to deal with others. It's like he is just immersed in his own world. You can tell by looking at him."
After Qin Liuxi heard this, was he autistic?
Following Teng Tianhan to Teng Zhao's courtyard, Qin Liuxi felt something was wrong before he entered. He looked at the tree exposed in the wall of the courtyard and pointed at it: "There is a question I have been wanting to ask for a long time. Is there something wrong with your family?"
How are the servants trained? I see that everything is neat and tidy. Also, do trees have twins? Pruning is too rigid."
Teng Tianhan looked over and saw that the pointed tips of the two golden osmanthus trees were exactly the same. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "That's what Zhao'er meant."
Qin Liuxi paused, and a thought flashed through his mind, right?
She followed him into the courtyard. When she took a look, her fingertips trembled. They were neat and meticulous. Even the flower pots on the ground looked as if they had been measured. They were neat and tidy. The courtyard was not messy at all, let alone dirty.
Not a single fallen leaf.
When a servant girl saw Teng Tianhan, she stepped forward and bowed.
"What is the young master doing?"
The servant girl replied: "I am playing chess with Mr. Qi now."
Teng Tianhan nodded and said to Qin Liuxi: "Mr. Qi is my staff, and he helped my son's education. He has been teaching him all these years."
With that said, he walked in casually.
Qin Liuxi followed him through the door and raised his head. He was not surprised at all that the furnishings in the room were neat and tidy. All items were placed in a way that could be measured in feet. If there were two identical things, they must be in the same direction.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, mysophobia.
Two words came to Qin Liuxi's mind.
Looking at Teng Tianhan again, he had already walked to the south window. There, a middle-aged man stood up, crossed his hands and called him "Dong Weng". His eyes met Qin Liuxi's, and he crossed his hands and nodded again.
Qin Liuxi nodded in return and looked at the thin child sitting cross-legged on the Arhat bed, holding a chess piece in one hand.
Although he was inside the house, he was wearing a cyan brocade robe that was ironed without a trace of wrinkles. His hair was slightly yellow and soft, combed into short corners. His eyebrows were delicate and his face was a little pale. He lowered his head slightly, but there was no expression on his face.
Just calm down.
Even though his father was leaning forward to talk to him, he didn't react at all. He just stared at the chessboard in front of him and made the next move.
"Zhao'er, this is the master who doesn't ask for help. Would you like to see me as a courtesy?" Teng Tianhan said warmly.
Teng Zhao seemed as if he hadn't heard anything.
Teng Tianhan was a little angry, but mostly helpless. He looked at Qin Liuxi and said, "That's just him. He doesn't have any big reaction to anything he does, and he doesn't want to pay attention to people. If no one talks to him and plays with him,
, he can also stay alone for a day."
Autism is a given.
"Even so, the young master learns things very quickly and he is very smart." Mr. Qi interjected and said: "He looks... dull, but he has a very strong learning ability. Even if I don't teach him deliberately, he will learn it."
He learned the moves and thoughts from others. He learned this chess piece by himself while watching me play it."
Mr. Qi's tone was a little proud, but also a little regretful.
It doesn't matter that such a smart kid is weak, but he still has a unique temperament.
Qin Liuxi walked over and looked down at the chessboard. Mr. Qi was holding the black stone. Now that he had left, the black stone did not move. Teng Zhao endured it for a while, then he took the black stone and dropped it. Then, he dropped the white stone.
Play chess with your own two hands.
He never raised his head to look at them.
"Grandmaster……"
Qin Liuxi looked at the neat chessboard, stretched out his hand, and swept it away.
She messed up the entire chessboard.
Teng Tianhan and Mr. Qi were stunned and looked at her in astonishment.
Qin Liuxi didn't say anything, but only looked at Teng Zhao's reaction. The child seemed a little surprised. Looking at the messy chessboard, his beautiful eyebrows were wrinkled and his lips were pursed.
He finally raised his head and looked at the culprit.
Qin Liuxi also saw his entire face clearly and looked into his eyes. His heart moved, and there was an inexplicable emotion, as if he hadn't seen it for a long time, as if he was sour and soft-hearted.
Makes you want to touch his head.
Teng Zhao had a pair of almond-shaped eyes, which were clear and bright, reflecting the reflection of Qin Liuxi.
He looked at Qin Liuxi steadily for a while, without losing his temper, and lowered his head again, replaying the chess pieces.
Mr. Qi said that he was very smart, and he was right. The chessboard was messed up, but he just replayed it and found a good move.
Qin Liuxi took Mr. Qi's place, took the black piece, and put it down at will. Teng Zhao watched, intercepted the white piece, and then put it down. The opponent made another piece.
Mr. Qi and Teng Tianhan looked at each other, and the latter shook his head and stood watching.
Qin Liuxi was playing fast chess, making moves almost without thinking, seemingly casually, but with urgency every step of the way, while Teng Zhao was still playing slowly and leisurely, but gradually, sweat began to form on his forehead.
Mr. Qi and Teng Tianhan who were watching were both chess players. Looking at the chess game, the white piece was forced to a dead end.
Teng Zhao's rhythm was disrupted.
The ball couldn't fall from his hand, and the sweat on his forehead became thicker and thicker. His little face wrinkled slightly, and finally showed an expression other than calm.
Qin Liuxi reached out and grabbed Teng Zhao's hand.
"Don't……"
Mr. Qi said, Teng Zhao didn't like being touched by others, especially strangers, and he would lose his temper.
But to their surprise, Teng Zhao did not have a seizure.
Qin Liuxi didn't seem to hear Mr. Qi's words, grabbed his hand, took him directly to the corner of the chessboard, and placed the pieces.
Bai Zi had another glimmer of hope.
Revitalized.
Teng Zhao was thoughtful and looked up at Qin Liuxi with deep eyes.
"Come with me, I'm very powerful." Qin Liuxi smiled at him.
Health care is so painful and delicious, but the medical insurance reimbursement is the best. Unfortunately, now you have to buy life insurance for 25 years, and you have to keep buying it until you retire. It’s bleak!!!
