Chapter 762: Regretful Past
Old Man Xu’s evaluation of Mo Zhengyan was very different.
The old man was very arrogant and rarely took a fancy to anyone. However, when he mentioned Mo Zhengyan, he said that he was a master of Chinese culture who had been crazy for decades. He knew astronomy and geography. In ancient times, he could even be a national advisor or prime minister. Unfortunately, although he was talented, his life was lonely because of his talent.
He said that Mo Zhengyan was a little arrogant and arrogant. He had always been a person who had his eyes on top of his head. He even sighed and wondered if he was still the same now that he was old.
Jing Yunzhao did not think that the old man was exaggerating, but it made sense. After decades of hardships, his temper must have improved a lot.
Jing Yunzhao remembered Old Man Xu mentioning something about Mo Zhengyan’s private life, and she remembered it because she was a little emotional about it.
The old man said that Mo Zhengyan was a hero in the capital when he was young. Unfortunately, his family was poor and his standard of Chinese studies was not high. He was only a teacher in school. Unfortunately, he met a young lady from a family. The young lady was the only daughter in the family and had to inherit the family business. If they wanted to be together, the man could only marry into the family. Even the children he gave birth to had to be considered the woman’s.
Mo Zhengyan was a stubborn and traditional man. Even when it came to the woman he loved, he was unwilling to compromise. In the end, he could only watch her marry someone else.
Not only that, Mo Zhengyan felt that it was a pity that the woman had gotten married. However, he only felt depressed for a while. Soon, he regained his high spirits. However, it was different for the young miss.
A year after the marriage, she gave birth and died.
Since the young lady’s parents had already passed away and she had a son to inherit the family’s inheritance, the husband naturally became the beneficiary of the family property. The so-called marrying into the family became empty talk after the woman passed away. The son took the man’s surname. Three years later, the husband remarried and the entire family changed hands.
It had been more than 40 years since this incident. According to Elder Xu, Mo Zhengyan regretted it when he learned of the death of his beloved. However, it was too late. From then on, he studied calligraphy, Chinese painting, cultural relics, and history. He never married.
The reason why she remembered it so clearly was not because of Mo Zhengyan, but because of Elder Xu.
Old Man Xu rarely told her about the matters in Jingdou, but he told her about Mo Zhengyan and the young miss in great detail. When he mentioned this matter, the old man’s face was filled with emotion and blame. He said that if Mo Zhengyan had lowered his head back then, many things would not have happened.
When she saw Old Man Xu’s expression, she finally remembered it.
Seeing Jing Yunzhao’s expression, Mo Zhengyan said,””From the looks of it, you’ve heard of my name?”
Mo Zhengyan’s name could be said to be A University’s living signboard. Not just A University, but even the entire Chinese martial arts world had to respect him. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a national treasure. He still had some confidence in this.
“I heard the elders in the family mention it before.” Jing Yunzhao said.
“Are you a native of the capital?” Mo Zhengyan asked.
“No, my elder used to be from the capital. Later, he went to Yang Province to recuperate.”Jing Yunzhao replied, wondering if she should tell Professor Mo Old Man Xu’s name.
