I Studied Abroad in the Modern Times

Chapter 28: Return Home

Outside Jingzhou City, a carriage was speeding along.

Zheng Fa lifted the carriage curtain and praised Gao Yuan, who was driving the horses: "I didn't expect you to be skilled at driving!"

Gao Yuan flicked the whip, urging the horses forward, a smile on his face: "The Six Arts of a gentleman—Rites, Music, Archery, Charioteering, Calligraphy, and Mathematics. While others learned calligraphy or archery, my father had me learn charioteering."

Zheng Fa was even more impressed: "Your father truly has an ancient spirit. Few scholars learn the art of driving."

The Six Arts was an old concept, and the skill of driving was certainly not something many scholars paid attention to.

"Well, I don't think my father looked at it that way," Gao Yuan grinned: "He said learning other things was a waste of money. But if I couldn't excel in my studies, at least I’d have a skill to make a living!"

"Your father is quite... practical," Zheng Fa said, feeling a sense of respect for the man he had never met.

Inside the carriage, the Seventh Young Master placed his fist in front of his mouth to hide the grin that had appeared on his face and frowned: "Pull the curtain down, there's too much dust."
