Meanwhile, next door, Mr. Zhao returned home and immediately picked up his daughter in the yard to play chess with his mentor.
Old Master Sun, after taking a few pieces, inquired, "A few months until the county exam. How are the students preparing?"
"They're naturally nervous, but they're working harder than usual."
"How is Wei Shen's cousin performing at the academy? Since they're cousins, he mustn't be bad either. You should guide him well."
"Yes, Mentor."
Mr. Zhao: "Sometimes, I feel these two aren't really cousins."
It's no wonder he thought so. Wei Shen was truly outstanding, making Zhao Yu seem quite ordinary in comparison.
"But the kid is not bad."
Mr. Zhao: "He has an innocent heart and is willing to work hard. Though he may not grasp things immediately, he's willing to delve into them."
Such students might lag now, but in a year or two... they'll catch up eventually.
Not just him, other mentors are willing to teach too.
