Lin Wanwan's blood boiled, and she couldn't help but curse: "You bastard! Shen Mo, are you sick? Are you kidding me, your aunt?"

Shen Mo ignored her, but took a step with his long legs and quickened his pace a little. Lin Wanwan had to jog to keep up with him.

"Hey, Shen Mo, slow down. I'm wrong, isn't that enough? Slow down, Shen Mo! Big brother, can I call you brother? Slow down..."

Shen Mo paused slightly, but still slowed down and led the way for her.

Lin Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. She always felt that something was following her, so she quickly walked to Shen Mo's side by side with him, determined to take him with her even if she died.

The two of them walked in silence along the way. Shen Mo still had a conscience and sent her home. He waited until she closed the door before turning back and going home.

After being exposed by Shen Mo, Lin Wanwan suddenly couldn't sleep. She thought she had concealed it well, but she didn't expect to be discovered so quickly. Forget it, she should be more careful in the future.

The next day she woke up with messy hair and had nightmares all night. She dreamed that people found out that she was not the original owner and said she was a ghost and a water monster and they wanted to burn her alive. Shen Li seemed to believe it and stood beside Shen Mo and looked at her coldly.

She could still feel the pain of the burning fire, but it was nothing compared to the cold eyes of the people around her...

I splashed cold water on my face to calm myself down, and comforted myself that it was just a nightmare and it wasn't real.

Seeing that she still had messy hair and looked listless today, Huniu and Sister Yuying were worried that she was sick. She said she just had a nightmare and didn't sleep well.

Li Yuying hugged her, touched her hair, and whispered a few words.

"Okay, it's okay. When you go home tonight, I'll put a pair of scissors under your pillow so you don't have to worry about nightmares!"

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."

She lay in Li Yuying's arms and gradually fell into unconsciousness.

The store was very popular these past two days. The whole county knew about Baiweiju, and there was an endless stream of people coming to eat. There were even people from other counties who came here because of its reputation. She was so busy that she didn't have time to think about anything else and just immersed herself in the store.

It was not until the tenth day that things stabilized, but the private rooms were still being booked in a rush, especially by students from wealthy families. Ever since Fu Junyi went back and painted a picture of orchids and hung it in Mantingfang, those students wanted to show off their painting skills, and their paintings almost filled up the two rooms.

Lin Wanwan could only let them do what they wanted. If there was really no place to hang the paintings, she would hang them in the corridor. If there was no room in the corridor, she would hang them in the lobby. Finally, there was no place even in the lobby, so she had to ask the guests to select the ten best paintings. The first one would be hung in Man Ting Fang, the second and third would be hung in Su Mu Zha, and the rest would be hung in the lobby for the guests to appreciate.

However, this was a big deal. Unexpectedly, it aroused the competitive spirit of students from the entire Yun'an County. They used all kinds of tricks to compete for the first place. In the end, Chen Li asked someone to send a painting. He used thick ink and light brushstrokes to paint the white-crowned lotus tripod vividly and exquisitely, and the beautiful leaves and sparse flowers showed its gracefulness. He was regarded as the well-deserved first place.

Lin Wanwan couldn't help but laugh. She didn't expect Chen Li to be so prominent. She thought he was oblivious to the world outside and had no interest in it! But fortunately, with his help, these students finally calmed down for a while.

Thanks to their support, Baiweiju has a more scholarly atmosphere. As a thank you, she gave gifts to the top ten people.

As Chen Li was the first, Lin Wanwan was of course very generous and carefully selected various foods, including Su Guan He Ding and Da Xue Su, the second place was roast duck pastries and a pot of Yong Huai Su, the third place was pastries and Yunnan plums, and the rest were also given different kinds of lotus orchids.

Lushui Academy is one of the most famous academies in the entire Dayuan Kingdom. Its president was the former Taifu of the dynasty. He later resigned and returned to his hometown. He invited many great scholars to establish Lushui Academy, which still cultivates a steady stream of talents for Dayuan.

There are many children from big families in Lushui Academy, who are sent by their families to study and hone their character. They have seen all kinds of good things, but today they were really surprised by a small food shop.

Lin Jiu and Shuyun were originally stopped by the old man guarding the gate. Shuyun immediately took out a bag of roast chicken to honor him, and then went to report to the headmaster with satisfaction.

The headmaster was playing chess with a friend. After hearing what was going on, he became interested and asked him to invite the friend in. He also called out all the students so that he could see which ten students had excellent painting skills.

He had heard about this a few days ago, but didn't take it seriously at first. Later, he found out that they were really taking it seriously, so he learned more about it and found it surprisingly interesting.

The students were in class when they were suddenly called out by the headmaster. They were all confused. Until the headmaster explained the reason, many of them were still very disdainful, thinking that their classes were disturbed for such a thing and were very reluctant.

"Headmaster, it's just a few gifts, why are you mobilizing so many people?"

"Yes, Headmaster, they are the ones leading the way. Why did they ask us to come out? To be honest, we are not envious."

"That's it, everything is fine, shall we go back to class?"

The headmaster stretched out his hand and motioned for them to be quiet.

"I know some of you don't want to watch it, but I'm quite interested. Now that it's out, watch it with me!"

He asked someone to bring Lin Jiu and others up.

Lin Jiu and Shuyun pulled the ox cart forward, looked at the headmaster standing in front of them, and saluted him.

Shuyun said respectfully, "Hello, Principal. We are the staff of Baiweiju in the county. Previously, students from your academy had a painting competition in Baiweiju, and ten students won. The shopkeeper sent us here to deliver the prizes."

The headmaster nodded and said, "I almost understand. You can send it off."
