Finally, Master Chen and his party were seen off!
When the group saw the roasted sweet potatoes, they were completely captivated and couldn't move. In the end, it was Grandma Mo who brought out a few roasted sweet potatoes to finally get them to leave.
Before leaving, he asked several times, still unwilling to give up, "Are there really no extra seeds?"
Annoyed by the questions, Su Nanxi retorted, "Go find whoever said there was a surprise!"
Master Chen suddenly realized, "Oh, right!"
Why didn't I think of that!
I was tricked into going back like that.
Master Chen and his group have returned, but they left two people at the Mo family's house!
The Mo family's new house is quite spacious. When the house was built, they considered that there would be more children in the future and reserved several rooms to temporarily serve as guest rooms when guests came and needed to stay overnight.
This conveniently benefited both Grand Tutor Xu and Gao Yuling.
Gao Yuling is fearless and only bullies others. She also has experts by her side, so Su Nanxi doesn't need to worry about her.
But she couldn't understand why the old man insisted on staying!
Su Nanxi had only met him a few times, all on the mountain. She had rescued him a few times and given him food, so they could only be considered acquaintances.
She had initially suspected it might be Grand Tutor Xu, but when he asked her for food, she thought it probably wasn't him. After all, given Grand Tutor Xu's status, why would he covet a bite of her food?
She saw it clearly; the old man's eyes were full of shrewdness. What hadn't a Grand Tutor eaten? Why would he like her food so much?
She's just an ordinary person, a nobody with no status. How can her cooking compare to that of a professional chef?
Nobody would believe it if I told them!
After thinking about it for a long time, Su Nanxi concluded that he was not Grand Tutor Xu, but just an old man with some eccentricities!
Moreover, when we heard that Grand Tutor Xu had gone to a neighboring county, we could be pretty sure of it!
Su Nanxi did not neglect him because he was not Grand Tutor Xu. People who can walk freely alone in the mountains are not simple people!
There's nothing in the Mo family that he'd covet, except for the better food. Wait a minute! Could this old man have stayed because of the food?
Su Nanxi soon found out the answer.
Look at the old man eating with such satisfaction and enjoyment; the answer couldn't be clearer!
He told the Mo family to call him "Old Man Xu." The Mo family didn't know which "Xu" it was, and they were too embarrassed to ask. As long as the tone was right, they didn't care which character it was!
Gao Yuling was also very happy. She felt a strong connection with the Mo family and didn't feel like a stranger when she was with them. In fact, she felt very comfortable. She immediately became the leader of the children and blended in with them!
The two of them treated the Mo family's house like their own home, eating, drinking, and playing as they pleased, without acting like guests at all!
If you didn't know better, you'd think this was their home!
The worst thing is that Gao Yuling is delicate and not used to sleeping on a hard bed. She tosses and turns at night and can't fall asleep, so she goes to Su Nanxi and asks to sleep with her!
Su Nanxi was sound asleep when she was woken up. She thought something serious had happened, but upon hearing the news, several black lines immediately appeared on her forehead.
"Is it appropriate for me to abandon my husband and sleep with you?"
Gao Yuling retorted confidently, "What's wrong with that! I'm just borrowing you for one night! He's a grown man, he can get used to it. We can chat together, he doesn't understand anyway!"
Su Nanxi was about to go crazy. Who wanted to chat with her in the middle of the night when she wasn't sleeping?
Can't a person get any sleep?!
I finally decided not to go along with her. If things go like this tonight, will it all happen again tomorrow night?
Why can't they talk about this during the day? Why do they have to talk about it at night?
She wants to sleep! She's also sensitive to her bed!
So Su Nanxi ruthlessly rejected Gao Yuling, "It's not suitable! If you can't get used to sleeping there, I'll have someone take you back tomorrow!"
"No!" Gao Yuling immediately shouted, "I'm used to it, I'm definitely used to it! I'm going back to sleep right now! Humph! I just wanted to talk to you, if you don't want to, then forget it! I'll just go back and get a good night's sleep!"
You're kidding me!
Su Nanxi waved her hand, "Bye-bye!"
Seeing Gao Yuling turn around, Su Nanxi immediately pulled her head back and closed the door behind her!
She only opened the door a crack, poked her head out, and blocked everything inside.
Gao Yuling turned around and heard the door close. She paused for a moment, pouted, and grumbled as she went back to her room.
I forgot about last night as soon as I woke up this morning and played with the kids. I'm so carefree!
Old Xu was much more composed and reserved. The Mo family didn't need him to do any work, so he was very leisurely, wandering around in the yard.
For some reason, they set their sights on Mo Qinghe!
In the new Mo family mansion, Mo Qinghe's branch of the family was allocated three rooms: a bedroom, a study, and Su Nanxi's treasure room, which was just right!
Leaving aside the bedroom and the treasure room, which Old Xu wasn't interested in, let's talk about the study, which Old Xu really liked!
After receiving permission, Old Xu entered Mo Qinghe's simple study.
Old Xu didn't even glance at the decorations or anything like that; he went straight to the bookshelf and started flipping through books.
He was curious about what kind of books were on the farmers' bookshelves, and whether they were borrowed to make a show of their homes.
This book isn't cheap, and it's hard to buy. Good books are so popular you have to fight for them!
As a result, after casually flipping through a few books, he suddenly became very serious and even began to read them with great eagerness.
Later, perhaps because her legs were tired, she didn't care about her image anymore and plopped down on the ground, too lazy to even move a stool.
Good heavens!
Where did these books come from?
How can you summarize it so logically!
And also, this storybook is so addictive, he can't stop reading it! His eyes are glued to the book!
He also noticed a great detail: the paper in these books was of very high quality—thick and smooth!
I don't know how it got written there!
The Mo family really knows how to keep things hidden!
How many things are there that he has never seen before?
Waaah! He wanted to stay a few more days!
If all else fails, I can borrow a few books to read at my leisure!
Old Xu had considered all the possibilities and stayed in his study for half a day, unwilling to come out. He even considered bringing his food inside to eat!
Mo Qinghe objected, "Your food smells too good; it'll attract bugs and they'll ruin the book soon!"
For someone who loves books dearly, they absolutely cannot tolerate any damage to their books; even the slightest scratch will break their heart!
Upon hearing that the book club would be destroyed, Old Xu immediately gave up and settled down to eat in the dining room.
After finishing his meal, he immediately ran to the study.
From then on, the Mo family all knew that Old Man Xu was literate and a scholar. Seeing his enthusiasm for learning, they all guessed that Old Man Xu might have achieved academic success.
Old Xu buried himself in the books. When he came to his senses, he saw Mo Qinghe engrossed in reading and writing. Curious, he quietly got up and went to take a look.
Upon closer inspection, it dawned on me that this was self-taught!
Want to take the imperial examination?
Yes! He's talented, quite gifted! It's not impossible!
But why doesn't the Mo family send their children to the academy to study?
Studying on your own without a teacher's guidance is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also makes it very difficult to pass the exam!
"Mo Sanzi, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
