Jiang Dou stood outside Kaifeng Prefecture with a bag on his back, looking inside. He still couldn't believe that he had been chosen to be the correspondent of Kaifeng Prefecture.
Jiang Dou was a minor official in Chenliu County. This time, Kaifeng Prefecture was selecting a correspondent, and all the county officials had their hearts set on someone they could hire. They argued for the position until the deadline, and no one was willing to give up. Finally, they all agreed to give the position to Jiang Dou, the only one without any background.
Jiang Dou's father was a tofu shop owner, so he gave him this name. His mother was the only daughter of an old scholar. Jiang Dou followed his grandfather to learn writing and calligraphy since he was a child. Although he did not have any official title, he was able to enter the Chenliu County Government.
A long time ago, after Jiang Dou finished his studies, he also complained about why he was given such a name.
If my father is illiterate and doesn't understand, my mother should at least understand something, right?
