Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 280: Chapter 271: The Loyal General Yang

However, writing a memorial was not Yang Zhenshan’s forte.

While he had practiced writing with a brush over the years, producing neat, square characters—not quite an expert in calligraphy but decently presentable.

But writing a memorial required not only neatness but also careful choice of words and phrases.

Yang Zhenshan was particularly inept at those verbose formalities.

So, he jotted down his thoughts and then had Lin Zhan come over to embellish them a bit.

Yes, Lin Zhan.

There was no other way, as Lin Zhan was now the most learned in the Yang family.

Seeing Lin Zhan’s vigorous and composed calligraphy, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

He was actually not as good as a teenager!

“It looks like I should find you a good teacher!”

In the study, Yang Zhenshan remarked with some emotion as he looked at the memorial Lin Zhan had revised.

In martial arts, Yang Zhenshan had no problem teaching Lin Zhan, but when it came to studying, he was far outmatched by Lin Zhan.

The path of the imperial examinations was not easy either; to achieve success required talent and effort as basics, but also the guidance of a great teacher.

And this guidance from an esteemed teacher was precisely what Lin Zhan lacked.

Hearing Yang Zhenshan’s sigh, Lin Zhan’s eyes lit up as he asked, “Master, can you help me find a suitable teacher?”

“You lad, you perk right up when it comes to studying!” Yang Zhenshan looked at him with amusement.

Lin Zhan was indeed diligent, even more so than Wang Yunqiao in martial arts with higher cultivation and already a Scholar at just fifteen, qualifying him to take the examination for Scholar this year.
