Despite suffering through the drinking session, Gu Wenheng hadn't endured it for nothing. Li Yong patted his chest and promised to recommend him to Leping Academy today, paving a path for his future studies.
Jin Qianqian slapped him hard on the back. "How could you wait until now to mention something so important? Do we need to prepare an apprenticeship gift?"
Gu Wenheng shook his head. "He didn't mention it, but there's no rush. Even with a recommendation, I still have to pass an assessment. I'll ask around later to see exactly what is required."
Jin Qianqian narrowed her eyes at him. "How has your calligraphy practice been these past few days? Can you pass?"
While the house was being repaired, Jin Qianqian often brought Gu Wenheng into the spatial domain's temporary study. Although both could now write with a brush, she still felt unsure. She wondered if the academy teachers had strict standards.
