Chapter 700 - 699: If you’re going to go for it, go for the best.
The Scholar’s surname was Gu, and everyone called him Scholar Gu. He was a refined man who, aside from attending the Academy, seldom left the house, and his yard was usually very quiet.
An old servant followed him to tend to the gate, an old granny to cook for them, and he also had a young servant waiting upon him.
He was very proper in his ways; as a neighbor for so many days, there had never been any disreputable people showing up at his front yard. Occasionally a few Scholars would visit, and they would discuss books, essays, and other refined topics.
According to Madam Gu, Scholar Gu didn’t look like he came from an ordinary family, even though his clothes seemed plain, they just looked better than everyone else’s.
Even when speaking, he carried a hint of the Capital City’s accent, particularly pleasant to listen to.
The following ten thousand words of praise for that Scholar Gu are omitted.
Wang Yongzhu did pay attention, though. This Scholar Gu seemed to come from an extraordinary background, and he was indeed very distinguished. In the short time since he had rented her property, he had already made such a good impression on the neighbors.
As they walked along, speaking of Cao Cao and then Cao Cao appeared, they were just talking about Scholar Gu when they reached the entrance to the alley, they heard Madam Gu’s surprised and delighted voice, "What a coincidence today, isn’t that Scholar Gu?"
Everyone followed Madam Gu’s gaze and looked over.
They saw a tall, handsome man standing by the side door of the front yard, dressed in a deep blue scholar’s robe with a green pouch hanging from his waist. Standing there, even the surrounding breeze seemed to become gentle and cultured.
He seemed to have heard Madam Gu’s voice, and his initial step toward entering his yard paused as he turned around, slightly nodding his head in their direction.
