Old Madam Xue recited Buddhist scriptures for a while, then turned to chatting casually and naturally mentioned Xue Lin: "…The Xue family has upheld poetry and books for generations, and all the young men study for the Imperial Examination. This youngest grandson of mine began learning at five and entered the Prefecture School at eleven. In a year or two, he'll be able to take the Scholar exam."
"The Seventh Young Master Xue is exceptionally talented for his age and will certainly achieve great success in the future," Jiang Shaohua responded with a smile.
These words delighted Old Madam Xue, and she beamed: "Thanks to the Commandery Princess' praise, I also hope he has a promising future. I'm not boasting; I've lived over seventy years and have seen many young men. But those like Qi Lang, clever, filial, and virtuous, are rare."
Xue Lin felt his scalp tingle with embarrassment, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
