Chapter 44 – Printing Books
by Salted Fish — At the banquet, everyone took turns speaking, and it was decided that the name of the charity school would be Weixian Academy, chosen from the Thousand Character Classic for its reference to "noble deeds and wise men," which makes it easily understandable for children. They then moved on to discuss the location, agreeing that since the main target students were orphans from the Foundling Home, the site should be conveniently located near the west city, close to the Foundling Home. In the end, Xie Fei…

by Salted Fish — The night had fallen, and Xie Yi rode his horse to the Bamboo Branch Workshop to knock on the door. However, Sheng Lao Liu said, "Young Master, it's unfortunate timing. Young Master Xu went to the Idle Cloud Workshop." Xie Yi paused, thinking that perhaps some corrupt officials from the Jingzhao Fu had taken the opportunity to cause trouble. He was worried. After all, when he saw Jiang Xian earlier report that a bookshop called Idle Cloud Workshop had been found to have banned books, he thought it might…

Chapter 41 – Forbidden Book
by Salted Fish — Xie Yi had never been particularly interested in sensual pleasures, and he never imagined that the saying "Fear arises from love" could be so true, as seen by the wise who see through everything inside and out. It was difficult even for a sage to remain unaffected by things, untroubled by the heart, and undisturbed by others. His mind was clear and tranquil, yet he still went about having dinner with Xu Chun as usual. He even found time to check on Xu Chun's progress in his studies, to which Xu Chun…

by Salted Fish — The moment Xu Chun entered the Qianqiu Pavilion, he was greeted with jeers. "The host is late! He must drink as punishment!" "Three cups as punishment!" Xu Chun could only smile as he clasped his hands and made a round of bows. "Apologies, apologies. There was an issue with an elder at home that delayed me. I'll drink, I'll drink." As he spoke, someone brought over a large goblet filled to the brim with wine. Upon seeing it, Xu Chun panicked. He stretched out his hand to stop them, laughing as he…

by Salted Fish — After setting up the fishing date, Xu Chun began actively preparing to tidy up the villa. Alcohol was a given; apart from cherry wine, he also prepared several kinds of Tusu wine and calamus wine. He ordered the delivery of whole lambs for roasting, and copper pots for picnic cooking. Then he instructed someone to select strong and large deer for breeding, saying he wanted to make deer blood soup. In addition to food and drink, Xu Chun personally inspected the rooms, repeatedly directing the butlers to…

Chapter 38 – Imperial Grace and Honor
by Salted Fish — Days passed in a flurry of activity, and before they knew it, the palace examination arrived. Xu Gu spent an entire day in the exam hall, and when he returned home that evening, his face betrayed signs of disappointment. It was only after some inquiries that they learned he had ranked forty-third in the Second Class, narrowly avoiding falling into the Third Class. Both Grand Madam and Lady Bai were puzzled. "Was the palace examination question too obscure? What was the question?" Xu Gu shook his…

by Salted Fish — On the second day when he met with his ministers to discuss affairs, Xie Yi asked Ouyang Shen, "I remember there was an official in Guangdong last year who privately lent treasury silver to merchants to earn interest and then returned it to the treasury to cover deficits, and was later impeached by his superior, the provincial governor?" Ouyang Shen said, "Your Majesty is wise. It was Zhao Yu, co-governor of Qingzhou, who was suspended from duty for investigation after impeachment. The Ministry of…

by Salted Fish — The smoked ham, translucent from the tea smoking process, complemented the freshly picked yellow garlic sprouts perfectly. The salted fish was fried until crisp, emitting an enticing aroma. The pepper lamb soup was a creamy white, while the duck meat was stir-fried with young ginger. There was also steamed perch and tofu with crab roe sauce. Each dish seemed ordinary, but it was rare to see Lady Liubao's culinary skills, meticulously prepared. The dishes cooked in hot oil were fresh and crisp, a stark…

Chapter 35 – Slight Ripples
by Salted Fish — Xie Yi recalled the first time he met Xu Chun, when Xu Chun approached him, and despite knowing that Xu Chun had mistaken his identity, seeing how inexperienced he clearly was, yet indulged in wine and debauchery, patronizing pleasure boats and keeping male courtesans, Xie Yi couldn't help but taunt him with a couple of crude remarks. At the time, seeing his strong reaction, how he turned around and left immediately, it seemed now that those words had deeply wounded the young man, leaving a scar that had…
