"Master, Madam, practicing martial arts requires starting with the basics, and it will be very hard."
"It's alright. If it's convenient for you to teach them, let Shao Yun and Shao Ming give it a try."
Jiang Shuyun chimed in, agreeing that boys should exercise more to stay healthy, as it's much better than being weaklings.
"Understood, sir. To practice the basics, we need a place and tools for practice."
"You can choose the location yourself. I'll have Butler Li tidy it up wherever you like."
Mu Yi'an didn't expect Zhao Wu to agree so quickly; Shao Yun must be happy now.
"I've found a place, I'll talk to Butler Li about it later."
Zhao Wu withdrew.
"Shuyun, are you bringing some watermelon back with you tomorrow?"
Is it cooked?
"Uncle Li came back yesterday and said that some watermelons are ripe, and Manager Zhou will be coming to pick them up the day after tomorrow."
Mu Yi'an thought that this year, more than 200 acres of watermelons were planted, and with the large quantity, the price might drop significantly.
"Then I'll take some back to the prefectural city for my teacher and close classmates to try."
Jiang Shuyun is now more aware of social interactions, unlike before when many things were kept secret.
"Alright, I'll have Zhao Wu make a trip to the estate and have Shuhe and Uncle Li pick out a few familiar people to take with you."

"I know. I'll come back when I'm not going out. I miss you too."
The two spoke in hushed tones, both recalling their encounter the previous night, and felt their faces flush.
"Let's go quickly, the child will wake up and start crying again."
"Okay, I'm leaving."
Jiang Shuyun led Li Li into the carriage, accompanied by Steward Li and Zhao Wu. He was going to escort the master onto the ship; there were so many watermelons, several baskets in total, and they needed to be arranged properly.
At home, upon learning of their father's passing, the children cried for their father, and even Shao Ming had tears in his eyes.
It took Mu Yi'an and Jiang Qi a long time to calm the three little ones down, and they stopped crying, with only occasional sobs remaining.
