Jiang Yurou was wearing a simple and elegant dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, making her look light and elegant; her hair was gently tied up and fell behind her ears, which made her face look even more beautiful. There was a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.

"Is everything ready?" Jiang Wanrou turned to look at the housekeeper Jiang beside her and asked. The housekeeper Jiang nodded respectfully and replied: "The quilts and cotton cloth in the store and the warehouse have all been packed."

Hearing this, Jiang Wanrou showed a satisfied expression and whispered, "Then let's go."

As soon as the voice fell, Bi'er picked up the packed luggage in a hurry and rushed out of the room, shouting: "Miss, Miss, wait for me!"

Jiang Wanrou shook her head helplessly. "I am so irritable."

On the other side, Zhong Ziqi led 20 teachers and their families to the gate of Jiang's house. Along the way, they talked about the upcoming new environment and new work, and everyone's face was filled with anticipation and excitement.

Knowing that there would be teachers coming to her house today, she understood the importance of these teachers to the academy, so she got up early and went to the gate to greet them in person.

Jiang Xue stood at the gate, wearing a light-colored dress with her hair simply tied into a bun, revealing a pretty face.

Her eyes were bright and expressive, revealing her thirst for knowledge and respect for her teacher.

When Zhong Ziqi and his group appeared in sight, Jiang Xue immediately went to greet them. She smiled and saluted Zhong Ziqi, then turned to the teachers and greeted them one by one.

Her manners were decent and generous, making the teachers feel the Jiang family's enthusiasm and sincerity.

"Welcome, teachers, to the Jiang residence. I am Jiang Xue." Jiang Xue's voice was clear and pleasant, making everyone present feel warm and friendly.

"Uncle Ziqi, you are finally here!" Jiang Xue greeted them enthusiastically with a joyful smile on her face.

Zhong Ziqi nodded and immediately introduced his friend: "Miss Jiang, this is Shen Sitong, a scholar from Shen Juren, who is knowledgeable and humble.

The person next to him is Liu Yujie, a man of outstanding talent and noble character.

There is also this person, Yang Siqi, a Juren Yang. His poems and essays are unique and are highly praised by everyone.

They are all my close friends for many years, and it is an honor for Baichuan Academy to have them here today."

Then, Zhong Ziqi continued to introduce the next dozen masters, telling each of their names, specialties and experiences. Ten minutes later, the introductions were complete and everyone had a preliminary understanding of each other.

Jiang Xue stepped forward, bowed to everyone, and said sincerely: "Welcome to our Baichuan Academy. In the future, you gentlemen will teach students knowledge and enlighten their wisdom. Please give us your guidance and contribute to the prosperity of the academy."

Seeing this, Shen Sitong also stepped forward and bowed to Jiang Xue, saying, "Miss Jiang, you are too kind. I am Shen Sitong, and I am only slightly knowledgeable in poetry and literature. In the future, I hope Miss Jiang will take care of me in the academy."

Liu Yujie also stepped forward, with a gentle smile on his thin face: "I am Liu Yujie, also an ordinary teacher. I am willing to work together with my colleagues in the academy to provide a good learning environment for students."

Yang Siqi gently waved the fan in his hand and nodded slightly, saying: "I am Yang Siqi, and I look forward to working with you in the academy to jointly inherit culture and cultivate talents."

After everyone exchanged greetings, the atmosphere became more harmonious.

"Uncle Ziqi, please take the teachers inside and sit for a while. I'll wait for Wanrou for a while and then we can set off." Jiang Xue said with a smile, pointing to the house, "Breakfast has been prepared inside. We will set off after breakfast."

Zhong Ziqi nodded and responded, "Okay, Miss Jiang. Then we'll go in first, please go ahead."

Afterwards, Zhong Ziqi led the teachers into Jiang's house, while Jiang Xue stood at the door, looking into the distance, as if waiting for something.

At this moment, an exquisitely decorated carriage slowly drove along the street and finally stopped steadily in front of the door of Jiang's house.

The car curtain was gently lifted, and Jiang Wanrou got out of the car gracefully. Her face was as bright as a spring flower, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and she walked towards Jiang Xue with light steps.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Jiang Wanrou apologized softly, with a hint of apology in her tone.

Jiang Xue smiled slightly, indicating that she didn't care: "It's okay, we are just chatting about some trivial matters. Have you packed your luggage?"

"Yes, everything has been arranged." Jiang Wanrou nodded slightly and responded softly. Then, she added: "I brought the best quilts and cotton cloth from Jiang's Cloth Shop." As soon as she finished speaking, she took a few steps forward and signaled the guys beside her to uncover the cloth covering the top layer.

Jiang Xue's eyes flashed with joy, and she quickly asked, "How much silver do these cost? I'll ask your shopkeeper to go find Chen Guanjia to settle the bill later."

However, Jiang Wanrou smiled slightly, shook her head gently, and declined Jiang Xue's kindness: "No need, this is just a small gift, just to show my appreciation. I have already asked the shopkeeper to go to the county town to transport more goods, and there should be a large number of goods arriving next."

When Jiang Xue heard this, a smile full of gratitude appeared on her face. She knew very well how deep the friendship that Jiang Wanrou had given her was.

So, she stepped forward, gently held Jiang Wanrou's fair and delicate hands, and said softly: "Wanrou, thank you. But how can I accept so many things you gave me at once? After all, it is not easy for you to run a cloth shop."

Jiang Wanrou smiled, still firmly shaking her head, and responded earnestly: "Jiang Xue, aren't we good friends? Your family's affairs are naturally my responsibility. These cotton quilts and cotton cloth are my small contribution to the school in your Jiangjia Village."

After hearing this, Jiang Xue felt a warm current in her heart. She knew Jiang Wanrou's character, and once she made a decision, she would not change it easily. So, she no longer insisted, but said gratefully: "Wanrou, thank you."

The two smiled at each other, and their friendship became even deeper.

"Have you eaten yet?" Jiang Xue asked softly, looking at Jiang Wanrou beside her. Jiang Wanrou shook her head gently and replied, "Not yet."

Jiang Xue smiled and nodded slightly to show that she understood.

She reached out and gently pulled Jiang Wanrou's sleeve, and walked inside, saying, "Then let's go in and have dinner together. After the meal, we can set off. In addition to the necessary quilts and cotton cloth for this trip, I also specially prepared some books."

"Wow, you have thought so carefully and thoroughly!" Jiang Wanrou praised happily.

The two of them walked into the hall and saw that the teachers had already started eating.

Jiang Xue and Jiang Wanrou smiled at each other, found an empty seat and sat down one by one.
