"Xiao Zhou, why didn't Xiao Li go to university?" Second Sister-in-law asked curiously. 'Seeing how calm and measured Li Xiu is, he would have been a real talent if he had!'
"Jin Chen never attended school. His master taught him everything, mostly using a classical education, so university wasn't a good fit for him," Zhou Lian said with a smile. 'Jin Chen is the courtesy name Li Xiu's master gave him. In two lifetimes, I'm the only one he's ever told. I never called him that once in my past life. Now, it feels inappropriate to use his full name in public, and other names don't feel right either. His courtesy name is the most fitting.'
"Jin Chen?" Zhang Hongying asked, looking at Zhou Lian with a puzzled expression.
"Jin Chen is Li Xiu's courtesy name. His master gave it to him before he passed away," Zhou Lian quietly explained to the women of the Zhang family.
