“Mother, I haven’t finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and I still need to check the shop’s accounts. You should put Xiao Wu through his drills instead.”
“Jiang Qingwu, fall in!”

“Mother! Before you get to your grand revolutionary plans, find our father first, all right? Hmph!” the two little ones said in their babyish voices.
“Jiang Haoran, the people are suffering under this oppression. Give me troops, and I’ll bring peace to the land and make sure everyone can live a good life!”

“Jiang Haoran, this reform system still isn’t complete enough. The Ministry of Personnel needs to hurry up and revise it!”
