Su Nanxi nodded. She didn't know who in this era was highly respected, knowledgeable, and capable of being a mentor.

That's right, she wanted to find a good teacher for Mo Qinghe!

In ancient times, students from poor families had very limited abilities on their own. They lacked knowledge and had poor conditions, so the resources they received were very limited. They had to make a great deal of effort to make any progress.

However, if one has some ability and can receive guidance from masters, then things are very different.

Haven't you heard the saying "A great teacher produces outstanding students"?

Is that the logic?

Therefore, Su Nanxi decided that she must find a very good teacher to guide Mo Qinghe, as for whether he could pass the exam, that was another matter.

If you can rise through the ranks, that's naturally good. If not, don't force it. There are countless paths in the world, and there's bound to be one that suits you. Besides, in the end, isn't it all about making a living?

Mo Qinghe was very clever; he would only be satisfied if he tried, no matter how hard it was.

Upon hearing this, Chen Liang pondered seriously for a while and then said, "Master, I do know a few people who meet your requirements, but these people are arrogant and have high standards, so they won't easily take on apprentices. I heard about something a while ago: Qin came to this area and is said to be staying here for a while. I don't know exactly what he's doing here. I only heard about it briefly and thought it was none of my business, so I didn't pay any attention to it."

Grand Tutor?

Just by hearing this name, you can tell it's no ordinary person. Such a respectful title means it's someone she could possibly meet.

Chen Liang is unreliable!

Chen Chayan's ability to read people was first-rate. He immediately understood the meaning in Su Nanxi's eyes and quickly tried to salvage the situation, "Hey boss, don't back down just because you hear about the Grand Tutor! This Grand Tutor Xu is someone that even the current emperor respects. I heard that he left the court many years ago and has no fixed abode. Whether he takes on disciples or not depends entirely on his mood. In his words, it depends on fate!"

so what?

Su Nanxi raised an eyebrow at Chen Liang, wondering if he had some secret to winning him over.

Seeing that Su Nanxi was interested, Chen Liang continued to talk, "Many people have heard about Xu Taifu's arrival here, and many have expressed interest in becoming his disciples. I think this is a good opportunity, and you can give it a try, Master. If you don't catch Xu Taifu's eye in the end, you can always look for others."

"This Grand Tutor Xu is quite different from other stubborn and rigid scholars. He acts according to his own preferences. Well, his greatest pleasure is eating delicious food. He loves to eat and drink, but he can't agree to everything. As for what he likes, no one has ever heard of it, and probably no one knows what he likes to eat. I heard that he wants to eat something different every day."

"So it all comes down to luck, opportunity and challenge! Master, you know so many new and interesting things. If you put your heart into thinking of some delicious things that you've never made before, maybe you'll catch the eye of Grand Tutor Xu! Yes! Master, I think you can definitely do it. Give it a try! If fate allows, it will be a tremendous opportunity!"

The more Chen Liang talked, the more feasible it seemed, as if he could immediately see Grand Tutor Xu nod in approval!

Su Nanxi nodded. It seemed like a good opportunity, and the cost of trying it wasn't high. Let's do it!

Hey! We should at least tell her where that person hangs out, right?

Chen Liang scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled, "I don't know exactly where he is. I'll go ask around in a bit."

Su Nanxi was speechless. She had been so happy for nothing, and now she didn't even know where the person was. Where was she supposed to look for him?

The crowds are vast, transportation is inconvenient, and people are still moving!

To show his loyalty, Chen Liang asked Su Nanxi to wait a moment before rushing out, presumably to inquire about something.

Su Nanxi decided to wait a while and then leave. There was no need to ask around for information!

But she underestimated Chen Liang's surveying ability, and sure enough, Chen Liang rushed in excitedly in no time.

Still out of breath, she ran while saying, "I found out!"

Su Nanxi turned to look at him and saw that he was running in a rather comical way, so she couldn't help but purse her lips.

Chen Liang didn't notice anything amiss. He lowered his voice and whispered, "Master, I've found out. It's absolutely true that Grand Tutor Xu is living in seclusion on the southern side of the Lianmian Mountains!"

oh!!

Continuous mountains?

Isn't this a mountain very close to my home?

What a coincidence?

Chen Liang also found it quite a coincidence. "What a coincidence! You must have been to that Shandong family. They're on the mountain near where I was about to jump! Boss, you should hurry back and prepare. Pick out some fresh and interesting food, and try it out once you find the person! I have a feeling that with you on the case, everything can be resolved!"

Tsk! What a bootlicker!

But she liked hearing that phrase: "Let's try and see if we can handle it."

Chen Liang smiled happily when he saw Su Nanxi nod.

After Su Nanxi came out, she changed into her usual clothes and walked down the street, pondering in her heart what kind of food was the most special and meaningful.

She thought of several options and even bought a lot of materials for them.

Because I was so focused on food, I forgot to buy pastries and candies on the way home.

Back at the courtyard gate, seeing several pairs of round, expectant eyes, Su Nanxi finally realized what she had forgotten to buy!

Thankfully, she still has plenty of candy and cookies in her storage space! She'll have to make do for now, but she'll have to be more careful next time, because some of the cookie wrappers are covered in writing!

When kids have food, they don't care where the candy and cookies come from; they only care if it tastes good!

They passed the test this time. Look how much the kids are enjoying their candy! They're holding onto it, reluctant to eat it. Oh, and they're also reluctant to throw away those colorful candy wrappers, keeping them like precious treasures.

Well, these days there aren't such pretty candy wrappers, so it's normal for kids to like them!

Yes! I'm glad you like it!

But one person was unhappy because she didn't get any candy. She was jealous, especially when she saw the candy wrappers sparkling in the sunlight!

"Mom! I want those candies too! Can you give me some to eat?"

Grandma Mo was picking vegetables; she heard but didn't respond.

Mo Yunmei persisted; she really wanted those candy wrappers too. They were so pretty! She had never seen candy wrappers that emitted colors before. If she could have some, it would be enough for her to show off for a month or two!

"Mom! You must have some candy, can you give me some? I want some too!"

Seeing that Grandma Mo ignored her, Mo Yunmei reached out and tugged at Grandma Mo's clothes, making it impossible for Grandma Mo to properly pick vegetables.

Grandma Mo stopped what she was doing and yelled, "Stop! What are you doing, pulling and tugging at me! Eat whatever you want!"

When Mo Yunmei saw that Grandma Mo had looked up, she pointed to what the children were holding, "Mom! Did you see that? It's that kind of candy, I want it, I want it!"

Grandma Mo didn't even need to look; she knew it must have been bought by the mute woman.

"I don't!"

"Then, then you can ask some for me!"
