Thinking of King Ancheng and his wife, Qin Zichu lived there for a while, but eventually left Tangzhou Prefecture.

"I said you seem very happy recently." Lu Ying tapped Shen Ci's desk with her fingers, sat next to him, and asked with a smile.
The young man slowly raised his head, revealing a beautiful face, like a bold stroke of ink on white paper, captivating the eye. With slender fingers, he closed the book and smiled gently. Behind him, the morning sun shone brightly.
Lu Ying's eyes widened, and she thought to herself: It's so beautiful, just like a flower.
The provincial school had already started, and students, scholars, and those who passed the examination came to attend classes.
Lu Ying inadvertently discovered that Chen Ci was always the first one to arrive.
After arriving, I wipe the table, wash the brush, grind the ink, read a book...a series of processes, flowing smoothly, every day like this.
[My brother met someone he likes, and they are in love with each other.] Shen Ci gestured.
"Really? Congratulations then."
Shen Ci always kept his emotions to himself. Although he was only fourteen years old, he lived like a rigid and well-behaved old man.
After chatting with Shen Ci for a while, Lu Ying did not disturb Shen Ci from reading and returned to her seat. She knew that the young man had been working very hard.
Lu Ying has always been active and doesn't like reading.
She leaned over the table, glancing in the direction of the boy. It was still early in the morning at the prefectural school, and no one else had come. The only sound was the boy flipping through his books.
The boy had a gorgeous profile, and he sat as straight as a poplar. His long eyelashes trembled from time to time, casting a beautiful shadow under his eyelids.
This scene inexplicably made Lu Ying think of four words: The years are quiet and good.
At first, Lu Ying unexpectedly arrived at the prefectural school early and discovered that Chen Ci had also arrived early. Later, for some reason, she, who had always disliked studying and loved sleeping in, unexpectedly came early every day. It was like she was possessed.
One person was reading a book attentively, and the other was lying on the table watching quietly. The time was quiet and beautiful. Ye Qingyue passed by with a book box on her back and saw this scene from the window. She couldn't help but pause, and a strange emotion flashed through her heart.
The sour feeling was unfamiliar and made her feel uncomfortable.
Are you sick?
Ye Qingyue just felt that he didn't want to see the scene in front of him, so he carried the book box and left quickly.
During class, the teacher was teaching at the top and Lu Ying was reading at the bottom.
But what she was reading was not the Four Books and Five Classics, but a book teaching sign language.
She studied hard and was immersed in it without realizing it.
I have been learning this sign language for a while.
She didn't know what her original intention was in learning sign language. Perhaps it was a sudden interest? Or perhaps it was to facilitate communication with Shen Ci? Or maybe it was something else, Lu Ying couldn't explain.

In the afternoon, there is a rare debate class in the provincial school.
The informal students, tongsheng and xiucai who passed the examination were all gathered together to debate on a topic.
"Confucius said: 'When people are born, their nature is good.' Xunzi also said: 'When people are born, their nature is evil.' Everyone, tell me, do you think people are good or evil when they are born?" Jiao Yu raised this topic.
"Meng Liang, you come and tell us." Jiao Yu called out his name.
A student named Meng Liang stood up, nodded slightly, and thought for a moment before saying, "I believe that human nature is inherently good. At birth, a person's initial state is that of an infant. Infants have pure minds and are naturally good. The phrase 'human nature is inherently good' is followed by the line, 'If a child is not taught well, it is the fault of the father.' The implication is that children are originally as pure as unpolished jade, but it is only through lack of nurturing and guidance that their good nature gradually disappears and deteriorates."
