"Madman?" Lady Xia looked puzzled at Gu Jinli: "What do you mean by that, Xiao Yu?"
"What do I mean?" Gu Jinli laughed: "Lady Xia might not know how the people in our village talk about Zhan Er. They say he's got a sick mind, that he's a madman. On bitterly cold days, instead of staying at home, he rides an ox cart to the fields to watch the grass and plays the Konghou in the chilling wind. Is this something a normal person would do?"
Lady Xia replied: "Although the actions and behaviors of Second Young Master Zhan are unconventional, they are in line with the temperament of a Madman and aren't too inappropriate."
When Master Xia was young, he was even more outrageous than Zhan Er, daring to submit a blank paper during the Imperial Examination. Zhan Er simply plays the Konghou in the field; compared to Master Xia, he's much milder.
Hearing this, Gu Jinli laughed: "Zhan Er is indeed the nephew of Master Xia's good friend; you all have the same odious taste."
