Zhulan ignored Zhou Shuren's glare, approvingly saying, "My son is right, you should let your beard grow back, it really does look quite bad now."
Zhou Shuren was rather fond of his beard, he had grown accustomed to stroking it, and after feeling it again, he indeed needed to let it grow back, as it didn't feel as good as it had before.
The very next morning, the letters Zhulan had been waiting for arrived, all three at once—one of which was for the Dong family. Zhulan first read Rongchuan's letter and after skimming through, she exclaimed, "A government granary student, good, good."
Madame Song was also happy, only if the younger members of the Zhou family succeeded would the Zhou family not be a fleeting presence, "Congratulations to the lady of the house."
Zhulan handed the letter to Madame Song, "Take this for the young miss to see."
Madame Song took the letter, "Yes."
