The next day, during the morning court session, the Emperor summoned Grand Scholar Sun. He took out what he considered the simplest book on geography. After letting the scholar read it once, he asked, “Father-in-law, what are your thoughts on this?”

“Though it bears no resemblance to the Four Books and Five Classics we’ve studied, it is still a great book,” Grand Scholar Sun replied.

Gu Chengye elaborated, “We are more concerned about the location.”

“Then I will help you look around,” Gu Chengrui concluded. “Are you the only two here?”

“No,” Mr. Gu said. “Your Aunt Liu and Madam Sun are here as well. The group is quite large this time, so I asked your second uncle to rent a small courtyard near their house.”

“I understand.” Gu Chengrui nodded. “I will find out about the house as soon as possible. Oh, have you all eaten?”
