Zhang Shen's martial arts skills were taught by Zhao Zhongnian. Originally, Zhang Qingyu was not willing to let her younger brother learn martial arts, as the Zhang family all pursued the imperial examinations and no one wanted to become a military officer. However, thinking about the hardships they faced on their escape route, she changed her mind.

People should learn to be flexible. Wouldn't it be better to be good at both literature and martial arts? One can take the imperial examinations and protect oneself and one's family in times of danger. If her father had known martial arts, he wouldn't have been unable to protect his wife and children, causing the family to go their separate ways and lose track of each other.

However, when Zhang Shen said he wanted to go hunting in the mountains with Song Tantan and the others, Zhang Qingyu firmly disagreed, saying, "You're still so young, you'll only be a burden if you go. You're not allowed to go. Wait until you're a bit older in a couple of years."

“But Lin Jiabao and Lin Datie from the village are also four years old. They go into the mountains with Sister Tantan and Brother Moxun every day. They can hunt and gather herbs. I want to go too.” Zhang Shen pestered his elder sister, hoping she would agree.

Zhang Qingyu was getting a headache from all the arguing, but she still didn't agree. She could only patiently reason with him, "You're different from the other kids in the village. You're the young master of the Zhang family. The Zhang family is a prestigious family. Shen'er will be taking the imperial examinations in the future. How can those peasants compare to you?"

“What’s the difference? Why can’t we compare?” Zhang Shen didn’t understand. “We live in the same houses, eat the same food, and grew up in the same village. No one is more noble than the other.”

"Who told you these things? You're not like them. Our Zhang family is different from others. Don't listen to other people's nonsense in the future, or your sister will send you to the private school. Don't even think about going hunting in the mountains. Go back to your room and face the wall to reflect on your mistakes. You're not allowed to come out before dinner."

Zhang Qingyu was furious, feeling that those words were deliberately said to her by the villagers. Who was it? Was it Song Zhuiyan or Song Tantan?
