You Can't Save Yourself and Everyone Else-The Grand Tutor Bets It All on His Entire Clan! / No Money for Dinner, but I Brought Gold Bars
The entire mansion is a perfect square, with only a handful of rooms.
Even the race of all people is Feline.
If nothing unexpected happens, the people living here are all family members of the Grand Tutor, and there are very likely no servants.
Huang Cao didn't dwell on why the Grand Tutor knew Shu and herself.
As the head of the Three Dukes, the Grand Tutor's position is self-evident. He is naturally aware of some of the country's secrets and should also know the specific political information of the various kingdoms of Terra.
Moreover, shortly after confirming their relationship, Shu and Huang Cao got their marriage certificate in the capital of Yan Country and even took photos.
The two had long been celebrities in the court, so it would be strange if they weren't recognized.
"I wonder what the Grand Tutor is doing. Was anyone injured in the explosion just now? I do know a little about medicine."
Shu pointed at the pot lid with her slender finger and asked.
The master cupped his hands slightly and said, "Actually, it's nothing major. I just wanted to present a dish to the True Dragon at the Hundred Delicacies Banquet."
Huang Cao pondered for a while, and realized that this should be the beginning of "The World's Only White", although it was a few years earlier than the original plot.
After all, there's now a utopia that can influence the international situation, so things are bound to change.
But then again, why would boiling a radish cause the pot lid to explode into the air?
It seems that the Grand Tutor is also a culinary expert.
Chapter 366 Even with personal safety at risk, the Grand Tutor's entire clan goes all in!
"Gu Sheng, quickly pour someone a cup of tea. You seemed quite smart in class, how come you're so slow now?"
The Grand Tutor gave a gentle glare to the young man who was still tending the fire, and the latter immediately stood up like a model soldier and hurriedly ran back into the house.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This person is my student. He may have been a little flustered when he saw Mr. Huang's presence, but he is usually very efficient in his work."
Good teacher.
In just a few minutes, Huang Cao had bestowed the title of "good teacher" upon the woman in front of him.
The meanings of "s-shifu" and "shifu" are different.
Good parents shouldn't criticize their children's shortcomings in front of guests. Instead, they should show their children's good qualities to outsiders so that the children don't feel inferior.
"Grand Tutor, why are there so many radishes here?" Shu pointed to the radishes on the table that came from all over the country.
Unexpectedly, the Grand Tutor sighed, "Whether a dish is good or not depends on the person eating it. No matter how well the chef makes the dish, if it doesn't suit the taste or the chef's heart, it is still inferior."
"Besides, the old man only knows how to cook; his skills are far inferior to those of the four famous restaurants here."
Huang Cao took a sip of the tea that Gu Sheng had brewed, then pulled Shu to a bench and sat down. "Grand Tutor, what do you wish to present to the True Dragon?"
"I want to fight for the greatest benefit for students all over the world and fulfill Teacher Jie's dream!"
Shu lowered his head and said, "I see. It's not unexpected. I suppose Grand Tutor also knows that the education system that Jie Dao taught you was almost copied from Utopia. Because it affected the livelihoods of too many people, it has not been implemented smoothly."
"Teacher Jie must have told you this when he was still alive. Yes, it is really too difficult."
The Grand Tutor's eyes gleamed with golden light, and although he said it was difficult, he always exuded an aura.
Perhaps this is because no one is perfect.
The Grand Tutor was a complex person; she was worthy of the world but could very well have let down her own family.
Huang Cao was deep in thought while watching the plot of "Meeting Again".
Given the Grand Tutor's prestige and connections, if he hadn't voluntarily "turned himself in," his entire family might have survived, or at most been exiled.
The probability is very small, but it is definitely not zero.
However, the price was turmoil in the Yan Country, and the number of dead was not just the entire Grand Tutor's family, but possibly hundreds of thousands or even millions of citizens of the Great Yan.
So she took the blame, along with the destruction of her entire family.
Perhaps this is what they mean by serving a ruler like walking on thin ice; as long as a minister gives advice, it's equivalent to taking sides.
Therefore, it's not entirely a non-stick pan, and the Grand Tutor did offer some suggestions.
Although it was done for a greater good, it unfortunately backfired later.
The Grand Tutor knew there was a possibility of things going wrong, and sure enough, an accident happened. He immediately sacrificed himself, along with the lives of his entire family.
This is similar to the trolley problem: which should ordinary people choose, their own families or the trolley problem?
If the Grand Tutor were placed next to the lever, she would definitely pull it down to save more people.
It can only be said that she has some merit to sit in this position; the awe-inspiring righteousness in the plot is just one aspect of this woman.
"Professor Jie visited your country for research. The utopian education system has benefited us greatly, but it is extremely difficult to implement it."
When the Grand Tutor learned that True Dragon wanted to promote this policy, and even when it had just begun to show some results, he had already killed a number of powerful families.
But unexpectedly, this group changed their methods again, using all sorts of tricks to try their best to suppress the implementation of the new policy.
The number of ordinary students was still too small, so officials, both civil and military, who had accepted bribes from powerful families, naturally had to help cover for them.
Therefore, even the True Dragon was bound by these officials, so he needed an opportunity.
"Therefore, I must give the True Dragon an opportunity to let the civil and military officials see His Majesty's determination. Only by completely shattering the officials' illusions can the vast number of students have a chance to rise above their circumstances."
The Huang Cao's voice grew faint, as if reminding the woman before it: Turn around.
"But this is not easy. Your family will be targeted by many people, and you may even die without a burial place."
The Grand Tutor already had a scale in his heart, on which his own life and that of his family were insignificant.
Nine Clans All-in! It's all about the thrill!
"One of my dishes at the Hundred Delicacies Banquet is still missing a name. I wonder if Mr. Huang has any suggestions?"
"You little brat, you haven't even cooked the dishes properly."
The Grand Tutor, known as the "little brat," paused for a moment, then showed a relieved expression.
It's not unreasonable for the lord of Utopia to call himself a little kid, since he's heard about the country since he was in school.
It's a pity that Utopia has never opened up a study abroad channel, otherwise she would really like to take the exam and see.
Huang Cao stirred the radishes in the bowl with her chopsticks. "These white radishes come from all over the country, but after being cooked in this bowl, they all have the same taste. Why don't we call them the 'The World's Only White'?"
"The World's Only White... What a great name!"
The Grand Tutor could no longer hide his excitement.
"He truly deserves to be Miss Shu's lover; he is indeed exceptionally talented."
"I didn't expect the Grand Tutor to be such a lively person, but how to stew it is still a big problem. We can't just stew all the radishes into a paste and present it to the True Dragon. Although he might understand what you mean, it's really not very elegant."
Although the intention behind this stew is certainly appreciated, if it tastes too bad, it might leave a deeper impression on him in other aspects.
"Yes, yes, yes, we still need to think about it carefully." The Grand Tutor, having received a good name, immediately suppressed his excitement.
The group chatted for a while longer, and Huang Cao and Shu accepted the old woman's invitation to have dinner at the Grand Tutor's residence before saying goodbye and leaving.
"The students taught by Jie truly have her demeanor, and some even surpass it."
The creature inside the necklace couldn't help but complain, "Why not take the salary from the Yan Country's court? I can't mistreat myself."
Since it's all subsidies from the imperial court, it would be a loss not to take them. You can't work for free like this.
Jie often felt helpless when it came to his students.
Being too upright can easily lead to encountering a tough opponent, but perhaps that's just human nature.
"Alas, the gears of fate have finally turned, but unfortunately it is still a matter of Yan Country's domestic affairs."
Huang Cao sighed inwardly, realizing that his influence on the Yan Country was neither too great nor too small.
Therefore, the plot will most likely proceed as scheduled, since he has not been involved in the country's political affairs.
At most, she'd just marry the person in charge of agriculture in the Great Wilderness City. Besides, even if all the True Dragon died, it wouldn't concern her.
On another note, when Ji and I were traveling by carriage to see Shu in the Great Wilderness City, I wrote a letter warning that the heartland of the True Dragon Great Yan would face a major disaster within the next ten years.
Several years have passed now, and if nothing unexpected happens, next year will be the time when disaster strikes.
Chapter 367 He didn't bring money to the meal, but he brought gold bars.
After bidding farewell to the Grand Tutor, Huang Cao and Shu arrived at Yu's small restaurant.
With the New Year approaching, restaurants should be bustling with activity.
But Yu closed the small restaurant and embraced his own tranquility tonight.
"Even the most delicious food deserves a little rest time from the chef."
Anyway, that's what the junior chef said when he closed the shop.
Actually, Yu wanted to welcome his sister and brother-in-law early; he couldn't leave them standing around while he entertained the guests.
"I brought some cooking utensils and seasonings that are unique to our country."
"Since you've come all this way and brought gifts, I'll accept them without hesitation. I've already prepared your rooms; they're on the third floor, the ones with the red sign hanging at the back. They're a bit small, but I hope you won't mind."
"I can live in a castle or a thatched hut; I'm not picky about my living environment."
"If I hadn't visited Master Huang's house and seen the magnificent golden floor, I would have truly believed it."
Yu smiled and then brought a basin of hot water from the kitchen.
"Speaking of which, are none of my eldest brother and the other brothers and sisters coming back this year?" Shu asked curiously.
"Sigh, caring for empty-nest children starts with each of us. It's not that we don't want to go back, it's that we can't."
"You know your second brother's temper. Hundreds of chess pieces are scattered all over the country and planted in the ground for decades. Just monitoring these things is already a lot of work, and that's only under the condition that there are channels available."
"So in order to prevent my second brother from causing trouble, my sisters and brothers have to be on guard at all times. So this year, only you and brother-in-law can spend the holiday with me."
Yu sighed and stared at the two people in front of him with expectant eyes.
Seeing the pitiful look on Yu's face, Huang Cao nodded in agreement. "We'll stay here for ten days or half a month, as long as you don't mind the two of us making noise."
Yu squinted, "I specifically chose a soundproof room for you. Besides, I have to go to work during the day. No matter how loud you are, can you drown out the sound of me cooking in the kitchen?"
Shu blushed slightly. "Then I'll be troubling you."
"However, we probably won't be able to eat here tomorrow night, as we both have to attend the True Dragon's banquet."
"The two of you? It's really rare, or rather, I've never seen you before. I've been here for many years, and some officials in the court treat us like we're jinxes, avoiding us like the plague. This is the first time they've invited us to dinner."
The rest of the words are us.
Because in the eyes of the court officials, the representative of the Sui Beast was equivalent to Himself.
Officials are well aware that each agent's will is unique, but they have become accustomed to such a useful tool and naturally do not want it to take over.
"It seems this matter really needs to be resolved properly."
Huang Cao stroked Shu's smooth back, sensing her wife's disappointment.
Shu felt that he had done nothing wrong and had worked hard in the Great Wilderness City for many years, yet he still could not get recognition.
"Don't be discouraged. The Great Yan Dynasty cannot represent the people of Great Wilderness City. You are just doing what you want to do, not living for the opinions of others."
You dare to make my wife sad? Believe me, I'll make Si Sui Tai fly away!
Shu looked up at the wicked smile on her man's face and knew that someone was about to be in trouble.
"Alright, you two, stop being so mushy. You're giving me goosebumps."
Looking at the two of them gazing at each other with such affection, I felt like they were such a mushy couple of parents-in-law.
And I felt a deep sense of relief that they weren't my parents.
Shortly after the three finished their meal, the other two were chased upstairs by Yu.
Of course, Huang Cao noticed something amiss while eating; the table was full of nourishing ingredients resembling ginseng.
If an ordinary person ate it, they would probably overdo it.
Brother Yu, Brother Yu, you've really done your sister a disastrous job.
The millet has always been at a disadvantage, and you still give me a buff? Do you know that you're sabotaging me?
"Sister, brother-in-law, some people are coming over for a late-night snack tonight. Don't worry, the soundproofing in the upstairs rooms is excellent, so you don't have to worry about the cooking noise disturbing you."
"Brother Yu's arrangement is quite thoughtful; even the bathroom is integrated into the room."
The two, who had been forced into the room, took a shower together in the bathroom, and then used a fan to dry each other's hair.
