Qin Zhenzhen gently pulled Chen Lin’er towards Su Ning and introduced, “I visited Sister Chen’s house. This is Sister Chen, you can call her Sister Lin’er.” Su Ning immediately recognized Chen Lin’er and expressed her surprise.
Unable to contain her excitement, Su Ning took Chen Lin’er’s hand. “Sister
Lin’er, you’re truly beautiful!”
Su Ning had attended her third brother’s trial, but at that time, Chen Lin’er was clad in a prison uniform with disheveled hair, nowhere near as stunning as she appeared now.
“Miss Su, you’re even more beautiful,” Chen Lin’er reciprocated, touched by Su Ning’s warmth.
In ancient times, a woman’s chastity held paramount importance, and Chen
Lin’er had anticipated being met with disapproval wherever she went. Yet, Su Ning’s lack of discrimination came as a pleasant surprise, revealing the forgiving nature of Governor Su’s family.
Suddenly, Su Ning’s expression shifted as she pondered a concern.
“Third Sister-in-law, did someone bully Sister Lin’er?”
She recalled overhearing her third brother and third sister-in-law discussing the threat of extinction the previous day. Could those individuals have swiftly targeted Sister Lin’er’s assets?
Qin Zhenzhen shook her head. “Don’t underestimate Sister Lin’er. Ordinary people can’t bully her.”
Su Ning remained skeptical. “Really?”
“When I saw you bringing Grandma Wang out, I thought you were ready for a fight.”
Grandma Wang, looking slightly aggrieved, chimed in, “Young Miss, not only can I fight, but I’m also proficient in various other skills.”
Su Ning burst into laughter. “I was just teasing. Look at your expression. Anyone unfamiliar might think I’m causing trouble.”
Chen Lin’er flashed a long-lost smile.
She hadn’t anticipated such playful interactions with the head of the Su family and their household staff.
Qin Zhenzhen redirected the conversation to Su Ning, saying, “Enough with the jokes. Let’s get serious. Starting today, Sister Chen will stay here. Prepare a room for her.’
“She’s eager to learn cooking and has other interests. I’m entrusting her education to you.”
Su Ning joyfully exclaimed, “Alright, alright! Finally, I get to teach students again. ”
Previously, in Meijiang Prefecture City, Su Ning had been assisting in the shop and also had the opportunity to teach other students. She was considered one of Qin Zhenzhen’s first disciples and was also Grandma Qin’s apprentice.
Qin Zhenzhen, often occupied, spent a considerable amount of time learning from Grandma Qin. She clarified that they weren’t strictly taking in disciples but rather students. The learning process involved nearly ten individuals, and Qin Zhenzhen structured it into three levels, concluding with an assessment. Those who didn’t pass initially continued learning, while those with limited talent were advised to explore alternative paths.
The beginner level involved learning culinary skills, mastering fundamental cooking techniques, and understanding relevant acupuncture points.
Moving on to the intermediate level meant acquiring health massage techniques and learning how to pair ingredients to achieve the effects of food therapy.
The advanced level delved into medical knowledge equivalent to a doctor’s consultation. Students at this stage could diagnose issues with a patient’s body and determine suitable dietary therapy formulas.
Su Ning, with her intelligence, had already successfully passed the intermediate assessment, making her eligible to teach junior students.
Having accompanied her third brother and third sister-in-law to Shanglin, Su Ning found herself with ample free time. While her inclination was to be around her third sister-in-law, she also understood the need for Jiang Yao to have her personal space, especially when her third brother returned.
Now, with the prospect of her third sister-in-law recruiting students again, it signaled progress in opening a shop in Shanglin. Su Ning was thrilled to have a new purpose.
Being a teacher at such a young age brought her a sense of accomplishment.
Observing Su Ning’s elation, Qin Zhenzhen felt a quiet joy. She resolved to find more engaging tasks for Su Ning, fostering a sense of accomplishment and preventing her from becoming too focused on matters of love..
