Ever since Qiu Yan mentioned the children's clothing shop to Jiang Liu, Jiang Liu started asking her manager to keep an eye out for nearby shops at the end of last year.
At the beginning of this year, she started having tailors rush to make some sample children's clothing.
Now, the sample garment is in place.
"Okay," Qiu Yan readily agreed.
The next morning, Qiu Yan first went to inquire with Elder Mu.
She has been very busy since the Lunar New Year and hasn't seen Old Master Mu much.
She had just gone next door when she saw her younger sister appear in Old Master Mu's courtyard.
My younger sister has always been a regular visitor to Mr. Mu's home.
At this moment, an old man and a young boy are sitting at a stone table, playing Go.
Qiu Ling'er frowned as she looked at the chessboard on the table; she was about to lose again.
She realized that the zither suited her better than chess.
"Grandpa Mu, I need to have my brother accompany you tomorrow."
Old Master Mu curled his lips and laughed, "Ling'er, don't forget, I am Master Mu, the top teacher of the academy. Your brother can't beat me."
Although he won the game, the little girl in front of him was only nine years old.
Turning his head, Old Master Mu saw Qiu Yan and smiled, "What brings you here today?"
"I'd like to ask you to introduce me to someone," Qiu Yan said as she walked. "Grandpa Mu, I'd like to find a tutor for Ling'er and Xiao Ran. Do you know anyone like that?"
"About this matter." Old Master Mu had already heard about Master Han's dismissal of the students from Qiu Ling'er. He couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl, as they had become close.
Master Mu gently placed a white piece, then continued, "Am I not the ready-made teacher?"
"You? Do you have time?" As Lu Mingfu's teacher, Qiu Yan knew that Old Master Mu was very busy.
Old Mu smiled and said, "Not busy at all, I'm quite relaxed right now."
Starting tomorrow, you will have Ling'er come to study.
"Tomorrow?" Qiu Yan asked, somewhat puzzled. "Aren't you going to Lu Ming Academy?"
"I'm not going," said Old Mu, continuing with the chessboard in his hands.
Because a new teacher joined the academy this year, Elder Mu, an elderly man in his sixties, was forced to begin his retirement life.
As a result, he had a very unpleasant year and is still complaining about Headmaster Du.
After the New Year, Qiu Ling'er came to Baiyang and chatted with him every day, which made him feel a little better.
He thought that it would be good to keep himself useful in his old age and find something to do.
"really?"
In her excitement, Qiu Ling'er made a careless mistake... placing a wrong piece.
Just as she was about to take back her move, Elder Mu waved his hand to stop her, saying, "Once a move is made, it cannot be taken back. Ling'er, you must be steady in your actions and not be fickle."
Qiu Ling'er smiled awkwardly. Okay, she understood.
Qiu Yan was skeptical. "Grandpa Mu, since you're a professor, could you bring Xiao Ran along?"
Old Master Mu was a learned man, and the children who studied with him gained a great deal of knowledge and experience.
Qiu Yan couldn't have asked for more to have him as her teacher.
“No, your child is too unruly.” Old Mu said, shaking his head. “I will only be Ling’er’s teacher.”
Gu Xiaoran is too difficult to manage; being Gu Xiaoran's tutor will inevitably lead to chaos.
"Well... our Xiaoran is very well-behaved." Qiu Yan said this without even realizing it.
She genuinely wanted Xiao Ran and Ling'er to learn to read and write with Elder Mu.
"Ling'er, Sister Jiang has just opened a children's clothing shop, do you want to go?"
"Sister, I have enough clothes, so I won't go," Qiu Ling'er said as she placed her black pieces.
Upon hearing Qiu Yan's words, Elder Mu began to shoo her away, saying, "Qiu Yan, can't you see that Ling'er and I are playing chess? You should go about your business."
Alright, since her younger sister doesn't want to go, Qiu Yan won't say anything more.
Qiu Yan returned to the courtyard and walked towards Gu Xiaoran, "Xiaoran, come for a walk with me."
