Chu Keqing blushed, her expression somewhat strange, but shook her head and said, "I dare not hide it from you, senior. Actually, I have never memorized the Yueyang Tower Record."
"Ah?" Chen Yan was a bit surprised, "You..."
"I never went to school," Chu Keqing shook her head and said softly.
Chen Yan frowned, "Did you not get into college?"
"Wait, that's not right; the Yueyang Tower Record isn't college-level material, it's high school."
Chu Keqing took a deep breath, her eyes complex, and slowly said, "Actually, I've never been to school since I was young. I grew up studying under my master's guidance, kind of like an old-fashioned private school. My master taught me the Four Books and Five Classics, the Zhou Yi, and Eight Trigrams. Mostly I studied divination.
Poetry and literature were considered miscellaneous studies, and my master didn't teach me to read them."
Chen Yan was a bit curious, "Then how did you recognize the year name Qingli?"
