I am self-aware enough not to adapt to the bureaucracy of ancient times. However, Shao Ming and his classmates have studied diligently for many years; they may well aspire to higher positions.

Jiang Shuyun knew himself; there were some things he simply couldn't do.

Therefore, he was willing to teach at the academy, which was his original profession, and he found it easy and comfortable.

In both his lives, he had never experienced hardship, nor could he truly feel reverence for emperors.

To avoid causing serious trouble by entering officialdom, he should stay at the academy.

The couple had already accepted Gu Zheng's arrival; there was nothing they could do, as the headmaster had taken good care of them.

Most importantly, they sent two capable people, so they don't have to take on any responsibility.

Once I figured it out, I stopped worrying about it and went to sleep.

The next day, Shao Ming and the others got up on time to practice their skills.

"Big brother, should we wake Gu Zheng up?"

"Just call him, whether he participates or not is up to him."

Jiang Shaoming assumed that Gu Zheng was just a guest at their home. They didn't know whether Gu Zheng practiced martial arts or not.

"Okay, I'll go get him. You guys go ahead first."

Shao Yun accepted the task and went to call Gu Zheng. Shao Ming and the others went out from the outer courtyard and into the training ground in the main courtyard.

"Gu Zheng, we're going to practice martial arts, are you coming?"

Shao Yun knocked on Gu Zheng's door, not knowing if he could hear her.

"Gu Zheng, are you awake?"

"What's wrong? Are you ready to eat?"

Gu Zheng's voice came from inside the room; he was clearly still asleep.

"We don't want to eat, we're going to practice martial arts, do you want to come?"

"Practicing martial arts? You guys still practice martial arts?"

Gu Zheng sat up abruptly, ran over, opened the door, and looked surprised.

"Yes, I like practicing martial arts. My father said that even if you want to participate in the imperial examination, you need to have physical strength, so we all practice martial arts."

"Really? Wait for me a bit, I'll go check it out too. Anyway, I'm awake now, so I can't fall back asleep."

Gu Zheng wanted to see how children from scholarly families practiced martial arts; he was very curious.

After Shao Yun and Gu Zheng finished dressing, the two went to the training ground together.
