Zhao Minghua received an invitation from the General Mansion for Mrs. Xia's birthday.
He naturally wanted to bring his second brother, Zhao Minglang, along.
"To the General Mansion?" Zhao Minglang was surprised: "I still need to review my lessons."
"If you want to pursue a career, you'd better socialize more."
This bookish second brother, what's the use of focusing solely on studies? It's still important to build connections.
Can one enter a residence like the General Mansion without some connections?
He's paving the way for him, yet he doesn't appreciate it.
"The urgent task isn't to socialize but to study diligently, not to dishonor Master Tian nor to fail the exams."
Zhao Minghua... his brother's reasoning, though skewed, does have some merit.
However, a day's time won't affect anything.
"The General Mansion sent you an invitation as well, won't you go?"
"A separate invitation just for me?"
