Chapter 526 Being Too Polite to Her

"Excuse my rudeness." Mo Li said with a smile, "Can the teachers in the academy please answer the questions on this paper?"

The headmaster felt even more puzzled. What was this for?
He didn't think it through, so he didn't agree rashly.

Mo Li smiled, stood up and saluted, then said: "Although my request is offensive, I still ask for your approval. I came here to explore the way for the students of Beishan County. I can only feel at ease if I know the level of the teachers."

After these words were spoken, the three gentlemen were all dissatisfied.

The one who had just ridiculed Mo Lixiao was even more angry.

The nose said, "If you are worried, you can let the students study in other colleges..."

Before he could finish his words, the dean raised his hand and stopped him from talking.

Mo Lixiao did not give the headmaster a chance to speak. He took two steps forward and said with a smile, "Headmaster, please fulfill my wish. Please."

She was so humble that the headmaster found it difficult to refuse her.

"Okay." The headmaster said to the boy behind him, "Go and call the gentlemen in the courtyard who have nothing to do."

"Yes." The boy took the order and went out. Not long after, he brought back three gentlemen. "Master, the three gentlemen are here."

There are a total of six gentlemen in this college, and they are all gathered here.

The headmaster asked the little boy to prepare writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked the six gentlemen to answer the questions here.

The three people who had just arrived were quite confused when they heard the headmaster's request, but since the headmaster had spoken, they could only do as he said.

The nostrils were the first to be drawn and the first to stop.

Seeing this, Mo Lixiao went over to look at his answer sheet and asked, "Sir, why didn't you answer the second half?"

"It's useless for the exam, why answer it?"

"Sir, you can't do it?" Mo Li asked again with a smile.

"Hmph!" He snorted coldly and buried his head in calculations.

Mo Li smiled as she watched him solve the problem. It was totally inconsistent with the problem-solving methods she knew. She thought he had a special method, but when she saw the answer he gave, it turned out that he didn't know the answer at all.

She laughed secretly in her heart, but tried her best to remain calm on the surface.

After all, these people were teachers, and they answered the questions much faster than the students. The six answer sheets were quickly delivered to the headmaster.

The headmaster only looked at the top one, then smiled and handed it to the little boy, motioning for Mo Li to take a look at it.

Cai Rong came over, and the two of them quickly finished flipping through all the answer sheets.

Only the top sheet has the highest correct answer rate. The more you turn to the back sheets, the worse the answers are.

Looking at those gentlemen, their expressions were very guilty.

Mo Lixiao had an idea in his mind. What these gentlemen knew was not even as good as what Mr. Cai knew. It was really not that advanced.

Cai Rong returned the answer sheet to the boy. Mo Li smiled and thanked him again, saying, "I feel bad for coming here unexpectedly and troubling the headmaster and all the gentlemen. I have prepared a few plates of cakes for you as a token of my apology."

It was the gift she brought when she came to the house, but she delivered it a little late.

"You are so kind."

After Xiaojun put down the pastries, Mo Lixiao said goodbye.

As soon as I left the house, before I had taken two steps, I heard someone in the room say loudly, "It's ridiculous to test us with those questions. The headmaster was too polite to her, which made her think we were weak and could be bullied."

Outside the door, Mo Lixiao stopped and prepared to listen for a while.

Then he heard the headmaster ask him sincerely, "Are you missing a bone in your head?
They are from Beishan County Government. They have government backgrounds, so why offend them?"

Lai Cai smiled and whispered to Mo Li: “Let’s go.”

After leaving the academy and getting on the carriage, Mo Lixiao let out a long sigh.

Xiaojun asked, "Miss, are you dissatisfied with the man with the big nostril?"

Mo Li smiled and shook his head, "I'm just worried that I haven't found a good teacher. I'm bound to disappoint Dean Wen when I go back."

"Liangzhou has been through years of war, and anyone with ability wants to leave here. It's normal that we can't find a teacher with outstanding ability." Xiaojun persuaded Mo Li with a smile, "Miss is determined to invite famous teachers for Beishan students, why limit it to Liangzhou."

"You make sense." Mo Li smiled and cheered up again, "Since I'm determined to do it, I will definitely do it."

The next day after returning to Beishan County, Mo Lixiao went to see Meng Changqing early in the morning.

She had no way to find out where Mr. Gao Ming was, and even Mr. Cai knew very little about him.

Mo Lixiao originally wanted to ask Qi Renli. Lord Qi came from a formal imperial examination background, so he must know where there are many teachers and what kind of teachers are considered excellent.

It’s a pity that I didn’t meet Qi Renli.

"Sir Meng." Mo Li smiled when he saw Meng Changqing, and walked up to him quickly, "Sir, are you free now? I have something to ask you."

Meng Changqing was eating a pancake while walking. Bafang rolled a big pancake for her. She had to hold it with both hands and eat it. She was eating it with great enthusiasm when she heard someone calling her.

She quickly brushed off the crumbs from her mouth and pretended to be serious, "Ms. Mo, please speak."

"Mr. Cai and I both intend to invite more famous teachers for the school to help students improve their studies and prepare for the imperial examinations. Does Lord Meng have anyone to recommend?" Mo Li smiled at Meng Changqing and spoke more and more directly.

Meng Changqing said helplessly: "If I knew, I would have invited them long ago. Why bother Miss Lao and Mr. Cai?"

"Then, sir, do you know where there is a famous teacher?"

Meng Changqing thought for a moment and said, "In recent years, under the imperial examination system, most of the students who passed the exam were from the south. Perhaps we can infer from this that there are more famous teachers in the south. However..."

It is too expensive to go to the south to hire a master.

“However, it does not mean that there are no famous teachers in the north. Among the officials who passed the imperial examinations, there are still northerners.

Does Miss Mo know Wanzhou? As far as I know, several officials in this dynasty are from Wanzhou, so perhaps there are famous teachers in Wanzhou. "
