Ji Beichen wore a sky-blue brocade robe embroidered with elegant orchids, and a light blue fox fur cloak over it.

The snow-white veil gives it a light and aloof feel.

Two attendants followed behind her, slowly stepping forward and bowing respectfully, "Greetings, Lady Han!"

Han Zixuan was slightly taken aback when she saw this dignified young master, but quickly came to her senses.

"Young Master Ji, there's no need for such formalities!" As Han Zixuan got closer, she could even smell the faint fragrance of plum blossoms, which was refreshing and delightful!

Ji Xiao asked, "Zixuan, where should we put these things?"

It wouldn't be good to block the road, so Han Zixuan turned around and looked around. "Ji Xiao, wait a moment, I'll go and ask the tutor to come right away!"

There are so many supplies that they simply can't fit here!

It would be best to ask the Master for a solution!

After Han Zixuan left, Ji Xiao said with a smug look, "Brother, don't worry, I'm very reliable!"

"My mother is the same; what's there to worry about!"

Her mother was worried, so she sent her brother along to keep an eye on things!

Ji Beichen sighed, "Mother was worried that something might happen to you, which is why she sent me along!"

"I'll leave now after I've met with Master Lin!"

Ji Xiao nodded, leaned closer to Ji Beichen and whispered, "Brother, what do you think of my classmate?"

Ji Beichen frowned and scolded, "Xiaoxiao, what nonsense are you spouting!"

I'm engaged, so please don't spout nonsense again!

Seeing that Ji Beichen was angry, Ji Xiao quickly apologized, "Alright, alright, brother, I know I was wrong! Don't be angry."

I won't say it again, okay?

Ji Beichen's expression softened somewhat when Lin Moyan and Han Zixuan arrived.

“Master Lin, my mother knows that our Mingjing Hall is distributing porridge to the disaster-stricken people.”

I also wanted to do my part! So I donated these supplies.

Lin Moyan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he nodded with a smile, "Very well, Master Ji Xiao thanks the Ji family for their kindness on behalf of the people!"

I will explain to Lord Li the good deeds your family has done for the people of Mingxi!

The Master is very pleased to have a student like you.

She had been worried about not having enough food these past few days, but she never expected the Ji family to donate so much supplies.

This is truly a timely help, even though Ji Xiao's education isn't that great.

But she is kind-hearted and gentle, with a gentle and virtuous nature.

Ji Xiao felt a little embarrassed by the praise and quickly waved her hand.

"Master, please don't flatter us. These are all minor matters. Our family can't help with anything else!"

Luckily, I have some money. Please don't be shy, Master! My family is all about money…

Han Zixuan couldn't help but chuckle to herself; Ji Xiao was just so adorable!

Upon hearing this, Ji Beichen felt a pang of anxiety and pinched Ji Xiao on the back.

This silly little sister, how could she talk nonsense in front of the teacher!

Ji Xiao winced in pain and looked back, puzzled to see her elder brother still standing there with an elegant demeanor.

Completely confused, who just pinched her from behind?

Lin Moyan chuckled lightly, coughing as he considered what else he could do about his students.

Han Zixuan quickly asked, "Master, what should we do with these supplies?"

Lin Moyan pondered for a moment and said calmly, "The grain will be put back in the place where it was stored before."

"Let the cotton-padded clothes and quilts be distributed to the people now!"

Han Zixuan nodded, "Yes, Master. Then Ji Xiao and I will distribute the cotton clothes and quilts first!"

Then bring the rice and noodles over!

Ji Xiao nodded frantically, "Okay, you guys figure it out yourselves."

After saying that, Lin Moyan turned around and left to serve porridge to the people in line!

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Ji Beichen took his leave.

"Xiaoxiao, Ms. Han, it's inconvenient for me to stay here, so I'll have to leave now!"

Ji Xiao quickly instructed the servants who were following him, "Yes, brother, you all take good care of the young master and escort him back to the Ji residence!"

Watching the people walk away, Ji Xiao finally snapped out of her daze and busied herself, calling out, "Disaster victims, here are some cotton-padded clothes you can come and get!"

Those who had just received porridge heard that there were also cotton-padded clothes and quilts available, and they all came to line up.

"A cotton-padded coat? A cotton-padded quilt? Is that true?"

"What a kind person!"

While things were bustling about in Mingxi County, Li Haiyan at the prefectural government office was pacing anxiously back and forth.

Several men stood to one side in the hall, one of them covering his face and weeping.

I blame myself for not informing Chan'er in advance, saying, "My lady, it's my fault for not notifying you beforehand, which led to this accident."

Li Haiyan frowned and comforted her, "Alas, no one has the ability to predict the future."

"I've already sent people to search everywhere, and I think we'll find out soon!" This calmed the weeping man down.

Time flew by, and news of the snow disaster finally reached Kyoto.

The Empress quickly dispatched people to provide assistance and allocated a large sum of silver to help the people rebuild their homes.

With the distribution of enough food to get through the winter, Mingjing Hall had a much easier time. They compiled the donated items and food they received into a book and sent it to the government.

Lin Moyan then led the students back into the school to continue their studies.

With the scientific expedition imminent, they needed to make the most of their time!

Li Haiyan took the list and nodded, "Rest assured, Scholar Lin, I will certainly present these lists to His Majesty!"

"In that case, we'll leave the post-disaster matters to you, sir!"

The old woman then led the students back to the school!

The imperial court has already sent people, so there's no need for them anymore! She should go back and supervise the students' teaching.

The students of Mingjing Hall resumed their usual study routine.

Han Zixuan has also returned to her previous routine of going back and forth between home and work.

However, now there's one more thing to do: tinker with skincare products.

Now that several shops on the street have reopened, Han Zixuan visited several shops and bought a lot of materials.

I started mixing the ingredients myself in the house.

Although Han's father and Shen Qingxi were curious, they saw that Han Zixuan was so serious and focused that they didn't want to disturb her too much.

Until this day, Han Zixuan came out of the room with a happy smile.

Shen Qingxi then curiously came over and asked, "My lady, these past few days you've locked yourself in your room every time you come back from school."

What are you doing?

Han Zixuan smiled mysteriously and pulled Shen Qingxi to a table to the side.

"I'm making something, and I don't want to be disturbed," Shen Qingxi said with a smile and a nod.

Seeing Han Zixuan's happy expression, she tilted her head and asked, "So, is my wife finished with her work?"

Han Zixuan took out two white porcelain bottles from behind her.

"I made two face creams that can improve my skin!"

Try applying it to your face every morning and evening, and you'll see a difference in less than three days!

Shen Qingxi's eyes widened as she looked at the porcelain bottle in Han Zixuan's hand, her heart filled with joy.

"My lady, is it true?"

No young man doesn't care about his appearance. Han Zixuan nodded, "Of course it's true!"

As he spoke, he opened one of the bottles and poured the liquid onto the back of Shen Qingxi's hand.

"The weather is cold now, so we can only make two kinds: Cymbidium and Plum Blossom."

This is made with plum blossoms; it has a mild flavor. See if you like it!

Shen Qingxi watched in amazement as the crystal-clear water spread across the back of her hand.

She leaned closer to smell it, her eyes sparkling. "Mmm, it smells wonderful! I love it!"

The wife is so kind; his hands are covered in thick calluses from years of hard work.

There are also many small scars, which are very unsightly and make me feel very inferior.

Every time he held hands with his wife, he worried that his rough hands would irritate her.

"Don't worry, my wife, I'll use it every day from now on!"

Han Zixuan looked at him with doting eyes; her little husband was so easily satisfied.
