Mo Qinghe had absolutely no idea how he suddenly ended up with a master!

His study only contained some miscellaneous books, nothing confidential, so when Old Xu said he wanted to come in and read, he didn't refuse and let him in.

Old Xu did indeed bury himself in a pile of books in the corner, so quiet that he seemed not to exist. Therefore, he was not affected at all and continued to do what he was supposed to do. No one outside dared to disturb him. He was completely immersed in his own world.

His wife hoped that he would read more books to broaden his horizons, increase his knowledge, and elevate his perspective. Even if he didn't participate in the imperial examinations, it would still be very helpful for his future life. He wholeheartedly agreed and did as she said!

Besides practicing martial arts and fitness every day, helping with housework, I spend my free time reading and practicing calligraphy!

He's used to it, and today is no exception!

He had anticipated that Old Man Xu might come and ask him something, but he never expected that Old Man Xu would suddenly ask him to become his apprentice!

He realized what was happening and was completely dumbfounded. What had just happened?

Before he could figure it out, Old Xu grabbed his hand and made him pick up the tea on the table. It was tea that had been brewed but he hadn't drunk yet!

Then he was pulled up, turned around and forced to kneel on the ground, with his hands, which were holding the teacup, raised high!

Well!

What exactly happened in that short time?

What is this old man Xu up to?!

Why did they make him kneel down and hold up the teacup for no reason?

What are you doing?!

Is the old man bored because he has no one to keep him company, and he's deliberately trying to get my attention?

Mo Qinghe was so engrossed in his work that he didn't hear what Old Man Xu said, so he was naturally very confused by Old Man Xu's behavior.

Just as I was about to suggest taking the old man for a stroll in the mountains, my hand suddenly felt light, and the teacup was taken away.

"Hmm! Good tea! I've drunk your apprenticeship tea. From now on, you are my disciple, and I am your master! This apprenticeship gift is a bit simple; remember to make up for it with a big meal!"

Old Xu thought the tea was delicious, so he didn't care about anything and leisurely sipped it.

Mo Qinghe's raised hands remained fixed in place. He was truly stunned. Could someone tell him what exactly was going on?

It wasn't until Old Xu left in a cheerful mood that he slowly came to his senses, looked at the teacup, and confirmed that what had just happened was real!

But Mo Qinghe quickly let it go and didn't take it seriously. He thought that Old Xu was just a child who liked to make trouble and was just messing around when he was bored!

She didn't mention it to Su Nanxi, and went about her business as if no apprenticeship ceremony had ever happened.

Mo Qinghe didn't take it to heart, but Old Man Xu did. He regretted it a little afterwards, blaming himself for being impulsive and taking on a disciple!

He could offer some guidance, but he really had no intention of taking on any disciples. He was getting old and wanted to enjoy his retirement. He didn't want to teach or answer questions anymore, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to live in seclusion in the mountains!

I was careless!

He was annoyed for a long time, but since he had already said it, he couldn't be a person who broke his word. He comforted himself for a long time and finally convinced himself!

Although he comes from a farming family, he is quite talented, hardworking, and intelligent. His family members are all ambitious, and he has an extraordinary wife. He will be able to eat delicious food often in the future. It seems that this disciple is not bad!

Old Xu had figured it out himself, but when he found that Mo Qinghe didn't take it seriously at all, he was so angry with himself that he gritted his teeth!

This is outrageous!

They actually ignored their master!

Old Xu didn't confront Mo Qinghe, but instead went to argue with Su Nanxi, his voice full of grievance.

Su Nanxi was stunned; her mouth hung open in disbelief!

In just half a day, his cheap husband found himself a master.

Wow! They even drank the apprenticeship tea?

To accept a master but then disrespect them is utterly disrespectful!

But surely her husband wouldn't do that? Although he's a bit aloof, he's quite reasonable!

Could there be some misunderstanding?

"What misunderstanding? There isn't one!" Old Xu firmly refused to admit that it was something he had done out of his mind!

Su Nanxi assured him, "If he really doesn't respect his teacher, I'll teach him a lesson! Don't worry, I won't allow him to do that! If the apprenticeship ceremony and tea ceremony are really performed, we can't let you suffer, so we'll hold a banquet another day!"

Old Xu chuckled, "That's great!"

Su Nanxi's words were exactly what he wanted to say. He suddenly felt that having this disciple was quite good!

What else could Mo Qinghe do? The old man had found a wife and said everything from his own self-interest, so there was no point in Mo Qinghe arguing. He intuitively felt that the old man wasn't a bad person and was indeed a scholar, so he agreed.

When the Mo family found out, although they didn't invite anyone, they still prepared a very sumptuous feast. Su Nanxi personally took charge of the cooking, and every dish she made was so delicious that you couldn't stop eating it after just one bite!

Su Nanxi even specially made juice. It's a happy occasion, so we should celebrate. Cheers are a must, and with juice, even the kids can have a toast!

During this time, Mo Qinghe again offered tea and formally became his disciple.

Old Xu's eyes were practically closed with laughter, which showed just how happy he was. Regardless of whether he was a disciple or not, he was just overjoyed to be able to enjoy a delicious meal!

These dishes taste much better than the banquet we had when we moved into our new home!

He knew that Ugly Girl was no ordinary person; she must be extraordinary to be able to cook such delicious dishes!

Oh my! He loves every dish; he hasn't had so many delicious dishes in a long time!

Simple ingredients, ordinary food, transformed into delicious food with just a touch! He's going to stay a couple more days!

Those two brats might come tomorrow, and they might even try to take him away. Humph! He doesn't want to leave yet!

Seeing that Old Man Xu was so happy and there was no strange look in his eyes, and that his family was also happy, Mo Qinghe accepted this master from the bottom of his heart.

Kao Yu-ling goes without saying; she's a leader among children, taking a group of kids out to eat, drink, and have fun, providing them with delicious food and drinks, regardless of what happens.

She loves these sweet and sour things so much, they taste so good!

Even Old Man Xu was won over. He took two sips and immediately fell in love with it. He finished it in one gulp and poured himself a full glass!

After taking a bath in the evening, Su Nanxi enjoyed the cool air in the courtyard, lying on a deck chair and watching the stars.

Gao Yuling ran over, lay down on the recliner next to her, and started chatting with Su Nanxi.

As they chatted, Gao Yuling remarked, "Your husband is so lucky to have found such a wonderful teacher!"

Perhaps realizing she had misspoke, Gao Yuling quickly changed the subject and talked about other things.

Nevertheless, Su Nanxi listened and vaguely felt that Gao Yuling should know the old man Xu's true identity, but seeing that Gao Yuling kept quiet, she stopped asking.

Eventually, their true colors will be revealed!

Gao Yuling snorted inwardly, as long as it wasn't her who told her!

Apart from having an extra master, everything else remains the same at the Mo family!

After the breakfast group left, while the others were eating breakfast, there was a sudden knock on the Mo family's door.

Everyone paused, "Who is it? So early! What brings you here?"

"Mom! I know you're home, open the door!"
