Chapter 897: Chapter 897: A Group of Masters 5

Lu Jiang listened to Feng Qingxue’s words and laughed, "Why do I feel like you already have someone in mind?" but he didn’t tell him.

Feng Qingxue gave him a glance, "Wash your vegetables and cut your meat. Why all the fuss?"

Guan Cheng covered his mouth and giggled, looking at the prepared ingredients, "Aunt, could the pork be made into Dongpo pork?"

"Hm? Dongpo pork? Why?" Guan Cheng seldom made requests, so whenever he pleaded, Feng Qingxue took it seriously. As long as it was within her power, she would agree.

"Teacher Jin’s teeth aren’t very good, but he particularly likes meat, especially Dongpo pork..."

Madam Xu explained, "Jin Ruochu was sent down from the Capital; he is seventy years old this year. He has been abroad, is proficient in Russian, French, and Japanese, understands medicine, excels in both calligraphy and painting, and is full of knowledge. He is a mathematician and physicist. With your father’s help, Guan Cheng secretly became his disciple, his closed-door student."

Lu Jiang’s father was aware of Guan Cheng’s wish, which was why he had arranged for this. Fortunately, Jin Ruochu was very satisfied with Guan Cheng.

Feng Qingxue was both surprised and delighted, "That’s great news!"

Jin Ruochu, he had taught dozens of top-notch students who are spread out across various fields, some of whom are national scientific researchers. Now they must be keeping a low profile, hence were unaffected by the decade of turmoil.

"Aunt, you think it’s good too? You don’t mind Teacher Jin’s background?"

"Of course not. Character, knowledge, and background are not related. Who says people with a bad background are bad? Think about your grandfather and father, and you’ll understand. If I cared about their background, I wouldn’t be hosting dinner tonight."

Feng Qingxue’s eyes were smiling, "Acheng, I’m truly happy for you. Although my father has been guiding you and Tianjun in secret these years, I know he feels it’s not enough, which is why he arranged for you to become a disciple of Teacher Jin. Cherish this opportunity. Even if there are no chances now, you must still study hard. All your efforts are a preparation for the future."

Guan Cheng nodded earnestly, "Aunt, don’t worry. I will study with dedication, and I will be filial to my teacher."

He knew better than anyone that he must seize this once-in-a-lifetime chance. As he grew older, the more he learned and the more he saw, the more he realized his own shallowness and yearned to acquire knowledge that he had not yet encountered.

All that belonged to the Guan Family had vanished like smoke, and he could only rely on his own efforts, not letting go of any learning opportunity.

Feng Qingxue laughed, "Then it’s settled, this piece of meat will be used for Dongpo pork." She had originally planned to make braised pork.

This meat was fresh and, of course, taken out from her space. It was meant as a special treat for the family. However, outwardly it appeared that she and Lu Jiang had found time to go to the grocery store using a mule cart. In truth, the grocery store was completely empty.

Based on the headcount provided by Madam Xu, Feng Qingxue prepared meals for sixteen people.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu, Lu Jiang’s father, Lu Jiang and her, Guan Cheng; that made six people. The remaining ten included two from the Wanglou Brigade School, three from Huaibei City, and five from the Capital.

The five masters from the Capital were four men and one woman: Wen Ruyu, Jin Ruochu, Huang Qinghong, Zhu Ling, and Wenyue.

The five masters encompassed painters, writers, translators, mathematicians, physicists, educators, and calligraphers. Some held multiple distinguished titles, truly the leading figures in the academic world.

Among them, the oldest and most esteemed were Wen Ruyu, Jin Ruochu, and Zhu Ling.
