Zheng Jin returned from martial arts practice and learned that a pageboy had come to the manor from outside. Just as he was about to frown and send the person away, a servant timely chimed in:
"He is not sent by Madam He. He is a pageboy from Miss Jingyue's courtyard, and it seems he has brought some books for the young master."
Books?
Zheng Jin's entire face twitched imperceptibly. A few days ago, keeping Young Master Xu's words in mind, he had someone buy a few volumes of poetry written by Master Song Ming.
The handwriting was fine, and the poems were good too, except that he had never liked reading since he was a child.
After brooding over them for a few days, he had tossed the books aside.
His sister was sending books at a time like this... Could she be here to urge him to study?
