Wei Zhuhua shook her head, looking helpless, "In Jingzhou, how many Gu families can there be? This Mrs. Xu is Old Madam Gu's grandniece, having inherited Old Madam Gu's true skills, a nationally renowned talented woman, who once participated in the compilation of history textbooks. Do you know the 'Yue Dynasty Anecdotes'? It's her work."
The 'Yue Dynasty Anecdotes' is a highly popular historical book; anyone with a bit of literary knowledge wouldn't be unaware of it.
Wei Zhuhua pretended to be defending Mei Qingdai, but was in fact sarcastically remarking on her lack of education.
After all, although Mrs. Xu mingled within the education and literary circles, she was not in the same social circle as them, so it was understandable that Mei Qingdai was unfamiliar with her.
Of course, Mei Qingdai's lack of education might as well be pasted on her forehead; not only her sisters-in-law looked down on her, but no one present respected her.
