"Mr. Bai!" Jiang Xue opened her red lips and her soft and gentle voice broke Bai Yufeng's silence. Her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of urgency, as if she had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to start.

She knew that this might be too sudden for Bai Yufeng, but at the moment, no one else could help her except him. Her eyes, full of expectation and pleading, looked at Bai Yufeng like clear autumn water, as if she wanted to put all her life's hopes on him.

Bai Yufeng slowly raised his head, and when their eyes met, he read trust and dependence from the other's eyes that were as clear as water and as firm as a mountain. Faced with such deep affection, even a heart of stone would find it difficult to resist!

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a helpless bitter smile, and he replied softly: "Okay, in this case, I promise to help you."

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Xue couldn't help crying with joy, her eyes sparkling with tears. She couldn't help but open her arms and hug Bai Yufeng, as if she was afraid that this was just a fragile dream.

She knew very well in her heart that as long as Bai Yufeng helped her, her dream would eventually become a reality...

Chen Yuxi, who was standing aside, watched everything that was happening in front of her quietly, feeling a sense of helplessness in her heart.

She knew very well that her master Jiang Xue had only one thought in her mind - to work wholeheartedly for the welfare of the villagers, but she was unaware that her charm had deeply touched Bai Yufeng's passionate heart.

Bai Yufeng's deep affection for Bai Jiangxue is like the endless and surging waters of a river, and he is deeply trapped in it and cannot extricate himself.

But faced with this situation, he had no choice but to stay quietly by Jiang Xue's side and silently witness her unremitting efforts to realize her grand ambitions.

This kind of silent love and dedication made Chen Yuxi both moved and distressed.

After bidding farewell to Bai Yufeng, Jiang Xue led a group of people on the road to Yunwu Town. Her face was filled with anticipation and excitement, because she had a special purpose today - to go to the city to make lanterns.

The Ghost Festival is approaching, a festival full of mystery and joy.

In the village, the Ghost Festival is an important time for villagers to pray for the blessings of their ancestors and the safety of their families.

Lanterns are an indispensable element of this festival.

They not only add brightness and color to the night, but also embody people's yearning and blessings for a better life.

Jiang Xue knew the importance of lanterns to the villagers, so she decided to go to Yunwu Town in person to select the best materials and make the most exquisite lanterns.

She hopes that these lanterns can bring joy and blessings to the villagers, and she also hopes that through her own efforts, she can make the Ghost Festival more colorful.

On the way to Yunwu Town, the carriage was surrounded by rolling hills and lush trees.

Occasionally, they could hear the sound of birds singing and gurgling water in the distance, as if nature was seeing them off. Jiang Xue's mood also became more joyful and expectant with the beautiful scenery.

After arriving at Yunwu Town, Jiang Xue was immediately attracted by the prosperity and bustle of the town. She led a group of people through the bustling streets, looking for a shop that made lanterns. After some selection and comparison, she finally found a lantern shop with a good reputation and exquisite craftsmanship.

In the store, Jiang Xue discussed the lantern production plan in detail with the shopkeeper. She described the ideal lantern in her mind with longing, which should retain the traditional charm and incorporate modern creative elements, so that the villagers can feel fresh and surprised when celebrating the Zhongyuan Festival.

The shopkeeper was an experienced craftsman. He nodded continuously while listening to Jiang Xue's description. However, when Jiang Xue asked about the number of lanterns to be made, the shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "Miss, the number of lanterns you requested is large, and I really can't supply them here. However, I can provide you with high-quality raw materials. You can buy them and organize people to make them yourself. What do you think?"

Jiang Xue pondered for a moment. She understood the shopkeeper's difficulty and realized that this was indeed a feasible solution. She nodded and said, "Your suggestion is very good. Let's buy the raw materials and make them ourselves. However, please tell me which materials are most suitable for making lanterns, and can you give us some suggestions on making them?"

Seeing Jiang Xue's understanding, the shopkeeper smiled with satisfaction. He enthusiastically introduced various raw materials suitable for making lanterns, and explained in detail the characteristics and uses of each material. At the same time, he also shared some tips and precautions for making lanterns, which benefited Jiang Xue a lot.

With the help of the shopkeeper, Jiang Xue purchased enough raw materials and prepared to organize the villagers to make lanterns after returning to the village.

"Have you heard? The performing artists are coming to our town." Jiang Xue had just walked out of the store when she heard a group of people talking.

She stopped curiously, wanting to know what this "walking show" was.

Jiang Xue was stunned, and turned to ask Chen Yuxi beside her: "What is a walking drama?"

Chen Yuxi smiled slightly and explained, "Miss, the wandering opera singers are opera singers. They travel around and bring wonderful opera performances to the people in various places."

Jiang Xue's eyes lit up after hearing this, thinking, isn't this a good idea to celebrate the Ghost Festival? So she asked excitedly, "Is this expensive? How about I take it back and celebrate with the villagers?"

When Chen Yuxi heard that Jiang Xue wanted to hire a troupe, she was stunned at first, and then replied: "Miss, the cost of hiring a troupe varies depending on the size of the troupe and the performance time, roughly between eight and thirty taels."

When Jiang Xue heard the price, she was delighted and felt that it was completely acceptable. So she decided, "Let's go back first and then we'll go see these opera troupes."

After that, Jiang Xue parked the carriage in front of the store and waited for the waiter to load the purchased materials onto the carriage. After a while, the goods were loaded, Chen Yuxi drove the carriage, and the two returned to Jiang's house together.

After returning to the Jiang residence, Jiang Xue immediately found Butler Chen with an excited look on her face.

Jiang Xue said, "Butler Chen, I heard that there are some opera performers in town. Their wonderful opera performances will definitely be very popular. I hope to invite them to our village and give a performance for us so that everyone can enjoy it."

After hearing this, Butler Chen nodded, indicating that he understood Jiang Xue's intention. He replied, "Okay, Miss. I will go to the town to contact those opera troupes, check their schedules and prices, and give you a reply as soon as possible."

Jiang Xue nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Okay, Butler Chen."

Butler Chen agreed and turned around to prepare to contact the opera troupe.
