The Hanlin Academy has always been an idle government office. Nowadays, there is no major event such as a change of dynasty or surrender of foreign countries, so there is no need to compile records, write imperial edicts, or draft imperial edicts. After the Hanlin Academy is done with work, they go home early.
Ryan Cui went there at the time when Lord Wang arrived home, presented Li Dongyang's invitation and his own newly-made official letter from the Imperial Academy, and entered the Wang family smoothly.
When he was just a disciple of Li Dongyang, Wang Hua admired him very much; now that he has passed the imperial examination and has become the top scholar among scholars and even Jinshi, Wang Hua naturally values him more and more. Upon hearing that he was coming, he not only came to entertain him personally, but also brought his eldest son with him, asking him to serve the senior and listen to the advice of the new top scholar.
Wang Shouren had also told his father all about Cui Hezhong this year. He was curious and envious of this young top scholar who was only three years older than him, so he changed into a coat and quietly followed his father to meet the guest.
As soon as the father and son came out, Ryan Cui guessed that the young man behind them was Wang Shouren.
