Old Zhu would naturally be meticulous about the offerings placed before his deceased wife's spirit. Even if his granddaughter-in-law copied them herself, Old Zhu would carefully check them, never relaxing his standards in the slightest.

Xu Miaoqing seemed very aware that this matter was not only about her reputation, but also about her responsibility and filial piety. Therefore, her handwriting was clear and she dared not be careless in the slightest. Xu Miaoqing indeed copied these scriptures very diligently.

Old Zhu nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Our family is just like this. When your grandmother taught us to read and write, her handwriting was delicate and elegant, while ours was bold and powerful. We dare not show the emperor's handwriting from when he was a child, it's too fierce."

Zhu Yunying chuckled and said, "Your grandmother didn't teach you many characters; your grandfather learned them by reading scriptures when he was in the Buddhist temple."

Old Zhu glared at Zhu Yunying and said, "It was your grandmother who taught us. Even if we've read some scriptures in the temple, how could we possibly understand them?! Your handwriting is just like mine. The handwriting reflects the person. The men of our Zhu family are all of a heroic nature."

That's true. Old Zhu's calligraphy is quite good, especially his running script and cursive script. Although he often says that his style is somewhat casual and natural, and his composition is not as elaborate as some calligraphers, it is indeed majestic, controlled, and executed in one go.

Old Zhu smiled and patted Little Zhu's head. "Your handwriting is the worst! You really are our great-grandson. We'll have to find you a wife who can write well in the future!"

Little Zhu immediately grinned and said, "Then let's choose from the families of civil officials, not the daughters of military officers."

Looking at Little Zhu, it's still too early for this kid to get married. However, we should still plan ahead and do some preliminary research. It's never too early to prepare for something like this, especially since Little Zhu is the foundation of the nation!
