Xu Zeng had instantly fallen in love with the modern variety of books as soon as he received his brother's memories from that world. There were many books in Donghua but Xu Zeng was never allowed access to them freely after his "dad" passed away.
Sneaking away to read his dad's hidden old books and practicing writing in secret became a rebellious activity on his part. Becoming a scholar was never his childhood dream, but learning his brother took and passed the Xuicai exam ignited a new fire in him.
While the two eggs hadn't even hatched yet, he wanted to share with them all the good things he'd seen in this world and the other.
Despite their dad and papa being a child, their father being a true scholar at the highest level, and him only being literate, he had immersed himself in books covering diverse topics in the other world.
*child in the scholarly term.
