Although he isn't that busy at home, Jiang Yu would dedicate an hour each morning and afternoon to reading and practicing calligraphy.
A year ago, he always thought he was quite diligent and was doing well in his studies.
But once he arrived in the county city and saw his fellow classmates, he realized compared to them, he was nothing.
Even when the academy admitted him, it was partly due to Uncle Liu, or rather, Liu Ze's parents.
He later vaguely heard some rumors that the academy took him in not because of his academic prowess.
The academy's principal thought his memory was decent, but the bigger reason was still Liu Ze's parents.
Jiang Yu had met Liu Ze's parents. The first time he went to the county, he met them; Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu even had him send regards to his own parents.
They are very amiable elders.
At least, that's what Jiang Yu believes in his heart.
