Elder Tong Er listened and nodded, saying, "Alright, let's give Gu Jin'an a temporary respite and discuss further after the college examination."
He then looked at Young Master Tong San and praised, "My son is indeed clever, coming up with such a plan. You are inherently suited for officialdom. With that mind of yours, if you enter the bureaucracy, you will surely beat Yan Xiaowu, that ignorant scholar, into submission."
What ability does Yan Xiaowu have? He merely knows how to read, but what use is reading? Being an official and being a good reader are two different things. An official without some tricks and schemes will just get himself killed.
Young Master Tong San laughed, "Father, this is only the beginning. I have another brilliant plan yet to be used. If executed, Yan Xiaowu and Gu Jin'an won't recover for a lifetime!"
Elder Tong Er's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he quickly asked Young Master Tong San, "What other good ideas do you have, San'er? Tell me quickly!"
