Yu Ruyue smiled and said, "How is it? Doesn't it look better?"

Yu Shi and Yu Tian immediately nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

Liang Shulan touched her face a little embarrassedly and said, "I just took a good bath. I feel cleaner and my skin looks whiter."

Yu Shi and Yu Tian had no doubts at all, only Shen Chou's ears secretly turned red when he smelled the familiar fragrance, and the scene he saw that day kept appearing in front of his eyes.

Although they looked similar, he was determined to kill her at that time. He had no other thoughts at all and even felt a little disgusted.

But now, for some reason, whenever he talks about taking a bath, he will think of the scene that day.

This little monster must have come from that day.

I don't know if my crazy behavior that day scared this little monster...

Just as he was daydreaming, Yu Ruyue smiled and said, "Oh, right! The Li family's eldest young lady brought me a lot of fruit, saying that we could also share in the good fortune!"

After she finished speaking, she went to the kitchen. In fact, the fruits Qin Wanrou gave her were peaches and apples.

But he took this opportunity to take out half of the ice watermelon in the space, then scooped it into pieces with a spoon and put them into the basin, and then drank up the remaining juice in the watermelon rind, without wasting a single bit.

Only then did he bring the fruit into the house.

They had seen peaches and apples, but Shen Chou and the other two had no idea what this red, cool thing was.

Yu Ruyue took a small bowl and placed it aside. "This fruit is called watermelon. It's very rare. I even put it in the well to cool it down. Come and have a taste."

Yu Dehou took the lead and put a piece into his mouth. The sweet and cool juice filled his entire mouth and relieved his heat.

The sun was high in the sky outside, shining on the cracked ground and creating a heat wave. Eating a bite of ice watermelon at this time was like a heavenly day.

Seeing how their father was enjoying himself, Yu Shi and Yu Tian quickly took a bite of the ice watermelon!

When they put it in their mouths and took the first bite, their eyes lit up instantly. The sweet juice and cool taste would probably be unforgettable for a lifetime.

Shen Chou was also very curious about what kind of delicious food it was that made the three of them stare with their eyes wide open, looking like they were enjoying it. However, after taking a bite, he was stunned by the taste. How could it be so sweet, so juicy, and as if it had just been taken out of the ice cellar...

At this time, Yu Ruyue pointed to the small bowl next to her and said, "Don't swallow the watermelon seeds. Spit them all into the bowl next to me. I want to save them for seeds."

Yu Dehou, who never spits out watermelon seeds, just as he was about to swallow it, immediately obediently began to use his tongue to carefully distinguish the watermelon seeds in his mouth and spit out all the black watermelon seeds.

The two brothers Yu Shi and Yu Tian also followed suit.

But when Shen Chou wanted to eat a few more pieces, Yu Ruyue stopped him, "You are not in good health, so don't eat too much of this cold watermelon."

Whenever Shen Chou thought about his poor health and that the demon who had a grudge against his brother and sister-in-law would take the opportunity to possess him and kill people, he would immediately stop picking up the watermelon.

This meal, because of the cold watermelon and the delicious food, made everyone so full that they had to hold their stomachs and couldn't straighten their backs.

Everyone sighed in their hearts, this life is so comfortable!

In the evening, Yu Ruyue gave everyone a bowl of spiritual spring water. With the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, not only did Shen Chou's illness recover, but even Yu Shi and Yu Tian became stronger.

Yu Ruyue knew that the time had come.

So the next day, he took the wild game he had hunted in the mountains with his parents last time, as well as some sausages, seaweed rice rolls, cakes and sugar, and took Shen Chou and the other two to visit Dean Lin of Tiande Academy.

She followed the address and arrived at Dean Lin's house, explained her purpose, and someone immediately respectfully invited them in.

Dean Lin was dressed neatly at this time, probably going to class.

Yu Ruyue quickly handed over the item in her hand and asked with a smile, "How is the dean's recovery?"

Dean Lin smiled and nodded. "Thanks to you, my health has almost recovered. I was so tired staying at home that I wanted to go to the academy today. Since you guys are here, let's go together."

Yu Ruyue nodded immediately, then pulled Shen Chou and the other two up, "Dean Lin, this is the uncle Shen Chou I told you about before. Although he never went to school, he taught himself and became a talented person. He is not only good at writing, but also has a good knowledge."

"As for the two behind me, they are my brothers, Yu Shi and Yu Tian. They have never been to school and have recently been learning to read with my eldest uncle."

Shen Chou and the other two immediately performed a respectful student salute and said in unison, "Hello, Dean!"

Dean Lin nodded with a smile and said nothing more. Instead, he led them to Tiande Academy. At this time, the students in the academy were already seated in the classroom.

Dean Lin took Shen Chou and others directly into the school.

The room, which was originally full of chatter, suddenly became silent when Dean Lin arrived. Lin Yihao was among them. When he saw Yu Ruyue, he smiled slightly, which was considered a greeting.

Dean Lin then opened the book in his hand and began to talk about today's lesson, "Today we are learning about the Doctrine of the Mean!"

"Everyone should be familiar with this book by now. What do you think is the most important sentence in this book?"

Lin Yihao immediately stood up and replied, "Master, I think it's the opening line: Nature is destiny, following nature is the Way, and cultivating the Way is teaching! Heaven bestows human nature upon us, and this is human nature. Following human nature and following the laws of nature is the doctrine of the mean!"

Dean Lin nodded and asked him to sit down.

Someone immediately expressed a different opinion. "Master, I think it's this sentence: 'To achieve harmony, heaven and earth are in their proper places, and all things are nurtured!'"

"Only by maintaining inner peace, cultivating one's inner self, and promoting the development of all things in nature can one achieve the golden mean."

Then several people stood up and expressed their ideas.

These people's fluent answers and unique insights opened the eyes of Yu Shi and Yu Tian. It turned out that reading is not just about recognizing words, it is so interesting.

At this moment, Dean Lin suddenly called out, "Shen Chou! Tell me, which sentence do you think it was?"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Chou. They looked at Shen Chou and Yu Ruyue next to him, and immediately guessed their identities from their clothes and expressions.

Just as Shen Chou was about to speak, a student suddenly stood up from the corner and said dissatisfiedly, "Teacher, it's obvious that this person comes from a poor family and has never been to school. It's a waste of time to ask him."

Another person echoed, "Yes! Master! It's obvious that this guy isn't cut out for study. He acts like a sissy, and it's disgusting just to look at him. Let's not waste everyone's time on this farmer's son. Do you want to accept him into the academy? That would be a huge insult to the reputation of our Tiande Academy."
