Chapter 93: Chu Family’s Surprise
"I do know how to read ancient languages." Chu Hao replied immediately.
Everyone was shocked, even Chu Miao who had made that request. She had just been jesting. Making fun of her brother.
She didn’t expect him to say that he knew how to read ancient languages.
"When did you learn how to read the ancient language?" Their mother asked in surprise.
She knew her son well. He would not really take up a task if it didn’t have a direct benefit to him. That is one of the biggest reasons he quit the military after only serving for two years.
He only joined the military in the first place because it was a family tradition, and he was just fulfilling it. Once he felt that he had left a military record, he immediately applied for retirement and went to make money in business with his father.
So, she was very surprised that her brother would take the time to learn such a language.
"When I was in the University, there was a history professor obsessed with preserving ancient culture. He always said that forgetting where we came from is not humanity making progress, but regressing. Because in the end, our descendants won’t even know who they are anymore.
So, he did things like teaching ancient languages as a way of preserving our ancient culture. Those who chose it as an elective class and learned it to a level he deemed passable, which included being able to read ancient texts and speak, even if not fluently, would get extra credits.
