The Scholar's surname was Gu, and everyone called him Scholar Gu. He was a refined man who, aside from attending the Academy, seldom left the house, and his yard was usually very quiet.
An old servant followed him to tend to the gate, an old granny to cook for them, and he also had a young servant waiting upon him.
He was very proper in his ways; as a neighbor for so many days, there had never been any disreputable people showing up at his front yard. Occasionally a few Scholars would visit, and they would discuss books, essays, and other refined topics.
According to Madam Gu, Scholar Gu didn't look like he came from an ordinary family, even though his clothes seemed plain, they just looked better than everyone else's.
Even when speaking, he carried a hint of the Capital City's accent, particularly pleasant to listen to.
The following ten thousand words of praise for that Scholar Gu are omitted.
