When the ship docked at the Leling County Pier, An Xin, who was walking down with his men, saw several familiar figures standing there.

"Grandfather, are you here to pick me up?" Gongsun Lanyue asked, jumping over and hugging old Mr. Gongsun's arm, acting coquettishly and cutely.

Old Master Gongsun looked at Gongsun Lanyue lovingly, patted her head, and said with a smile: "I am here to pick up an old friend. You little girl, please stand aside."

Then he looked at An Xin and wanted to salute her.

Although Mr. Gongsun was the president of Baichuan Academy and his son was the Minister of Personnel, he still had to perform formalities according to the rules when meeting court officials.

But when he was about to bow and greet him, An Xin stepped forward and held his arm, "You old man, do you want to embarrass me?"

“Hahaha.” Old Master Gongsun laughed and said, “After not seeing you for so many years, you are still so casual. I wonder if I will have the honor to invite you to visit Baichuan Academy again.”

An Xin also smiled at Mr. Gongsun, politely cupped his hands, and performed a junior salute, "Baichuan Academy has beautiful scenery and a strong literary style, I am willing to do so.

It’s just that this time we went to Nanyu and were delayed because of my downtime, so the time on the road was tight, so we can only wait until next time. ”

Mr. Gongsun had learned from his son's letter that An Xin and his companions were just passing through Leling County this time. "It doesn't matter. Come back when you have time and give a few lessons to those useless students in my academy.

It also helps them broaden their horizons and realize that everyone is equal in the field of learning, and that women are not necessarily inferior to men.”

An Xin and her group were warmly asked to give way to the carriage by Mr. Gongsun and Fang Wenshan and Gu Zhicheng, who had met her during the competition.

After all, when she took six students and Kong Xun to the competition in Baichuan Academy, she made a big splash, gave a loud slap in the face to many people who looked down on them at the beginning, and also won the respect of many people.

Mr. Gongsun smiled and politely bowed to Xiao Wenrou and the others, and asked his nephew Li Fangyu to receive them.

Xiao Wenrou looked at An Xin and the others who were taken away by Mr. Gongsun, and angrily pinched the arm of the maid who was supporting her, pulling it hatefully.

"Hiss!" The maid cried out in pain, but when she saw her mistress looking at her with a vicious look, she held back her tears.

Originally, An Xin wanted to take his people to stay at the post station, but was sternly rejected by Mr. Gongsun.

Seeing Gongsun Lanyue's earnest eyes, in the end, except for Liu Boxing and Chen Qibao who had their duties, they took a team of guards to protect Xiao Wenrou and the others and went to the post station to rest.

An Xin and An Rui both know Mr. Gongsun, and Feng Yuxiu and Feng Lingyun are the granddaughters and the future husband's brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

The remaining people have established a deep friendship with Gongsun Lanyue during this long period of time together. After hearing what his granddaughter said, Mr. Gongsun invited them to stay at his house for one night.

When Old Lady Gongsun learned that An Xin, her granddaughter, and a group of her granddaughter's friends were coming, she happily ordered the kitchen to prepare many delicious dishes to entertain them.

The two old people are not old-fashioned and pedantic. They also support their granddaughter to go to Nanyu to play Cuju. If they were not too old and could not stand the bumps, they would want to follow and be cheerleaders to cheer for them.

I had delicious food and drinks at Gongsun's house, and the servants served me attentively. After returning to my room, I took a hot bath and had a comfortable night's rest.

The next day, An Xin took everyone to say goodbye.

She accepted the invitation from Mr. Gongsun and came to Baichuan Academy to give lectures to the students when she had time.

An Xin was still a little puzzled as to why Mr. Gongsun would repeatedly invite her to give lectures at Baichuan Academy. It was Gongsun Lanyue who cleared up her doubts.

It turned out that during these years, An Xin not only taught six outstanding students including Li Ziyu, but also taught several naughty children of military generals in the capital to become both literary and martial, and outstanding.

In addition, she herself was a third-rank official in the imperial court, serving as the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, the highest institution of learning in Daqian. Both her knowledge and abilities had been recognized by scholars from all walks of life, and she had become a new great scholar.

An Xin just smiled and didn't take it to heart.

What does it matter to her whether a scholar is a great scholar or not? No one pays her a salary.

This false reputation is important to some people, but to An Xin, it is not as important as the old emperor letting her go home to grow sweet potatoes.

"As a leader, she is so irresponsible. I don't know why the emperor gave her such an important responsibility."

After they reunited, An Xin heard these words and turned to look at the man standing next to Xiao Wenrou.

She raised one of her eyebrows, as if nodding in agreement, and said, "I will convey your opinion to the Emperor when I return, saying that you think he is blind and can't recognize people, so you let someone like me lead the team."

The man choked, and when he realized what was happening, his legs went limp with fear.

If word of this gets to the emperor's ears, not only will he be punished, but his family will also be implicated and suffer.

"I…I…that's not what I meant."

An Xin ignored the man's panic and turned to get on the carriage.

"My teacher didn't delay the journey, why are you talking so much?" Feng Yuxiu stared at the man with wide eyes, walked past him, and started to scold him.

"Just shut up if you're sensible," Shan Yongzhen said with a sigh, "Be careful if you get choked to death by my teacher when you talk one day, don't blame others."

Xiao Wenrou frowned slightly and looked at the man who lowered his head beside her. She thought he was so useless. She glanced at him with disdain and got on the carriage.

An Xin and his companions arrived at the largest dock along the coast of Daqian, where a large ship was already docked.

Daqian has not yet fully opened up to maritime trade, so there are not many ships at the dock.

An Xin saw the tall and slender figure standing not far from the dock and smiled.

Liu Boxing, An Rui, and even Chen Qibao hurried over, and the former two punched the man on the shoulder and hugged him.

Chen Qibao just looked at his fellow brothers and grinned foolishly.

The increasingly handsome man pushed them away with disdain, walked up to An Xin with a gentle look, and called softly, "Little Shanzhang."

"How did you know?" An Xin asked.

Zhu Shijing said with pride in his eyes: "Not long after I came here, I went to visit Mr. Gongsun.

You went to visit Mr. Gongsun yesterday, and he sent someone to inform me. "

An Xin glanced at Gongsun Lanyue and said, "Tip it off."

"Grandfather may want to give you a surprise." Gongsun Lanyue touched his nose embarrassedly and said.

I was very happy to see my student An Xin.

But when they saw them appear, the people from Nanyu, who had been waiting here for a few days to pick them up, got off the boat and came over to politely urge them to leave.
