Chapter 14.2: Shen Lang's Fate

w.a.n.g Lian scrunched his brows hearing Shen Lang call him intimately like a brother. He frowned slightly and replied not to Shen Lang's words but instead questioned him. "You don't diligently study. What are you doing now playing with dyes when you should be learning instead? Are you trying to destroy yourself?"

His questioning was not based on prejudice. In this world, there's two skill set that are most valued and sought after. One was knowledge and the other martial arts.

During the Song Dynasty, literary scholars suppressed the might of the warriors. In a way, they could be called a literary fighter. But however, in this world, in the Great Yan Empire, both knowledge and martial arts were a n.o.ble thing one could thread upon.

Military exams are as distinguished and n.o.ble as literary ones.

Compared to the two, being a craftsman was cheap and insignificant.

Though the dye master of the Xu Family who'd come here earlier to make a case against Shen Lang was excellent indeed, he never had any sort of name to remember him from beginning to end, only a mere craftsman.

But this young official was only saying so just for the heck of it.

Since w.a.n.g Lian wished to curry favor with Jin Mulan, he endeavored himself on teaching for half a month's end. Shen Lang's stupidity was still fresh in his mind. How could he ever forget such a foolish boy? If you give him one hundred years, he still would not pa.s.s. Teaching Shen Lang how to read was only a waste of his time, his life, and his money.

"As for the young miss of the Earl Family," w.a.n.g Lian turned his head and looked at Shen Lang sharply, his tone indignant, "She is the first daughter of a century old n.o.ble family. She is of n.o.ble blood. Her name isn't something a peasant like you should say."
