"Teaching, not going to be an official?"
Jiang Qin and the others were taken aback. Now that they had passed the imperial examination, why didn't they become officials?
"Well, my personality isn't suited for officialdom. Besides, we come from humble backgrounds and have no connections. Even if we were to enter the government, we wouldn't go very far."
From now on, I will teach at Bailu Academy, nurturing the children and providing them with a good environment.
Jiang Shuyun was afraid that she wouldn't be able to navigate the ancient officialdom well enough, and that if she wasn't careful, she could easily be used as a scapegoat, which would put her life in danger.

Having suddenly arrived in ancient times, and being a poor man with limited knowledge and average abilities, how could he possibly dominate the officialdom and shine brightly in ancient times?
"That's right. Our father said that as we move forward generation after generation, we will eventually reach higher places."
Jiang Shuwen recalled his father's words and could understand. The main reason was that his second brother, apart from studying, really didn't understand social etiquette.

"Master, I'll go and prepare."
Having received confirmation, Butler Li began preparing for his departure.
"Second brother, I'm going to pick up some goods. I can't have come all this way for nothing."
Jiang Shuwen had already selected the goods and was just waiting to pay and pick them up when he left.
Jiang Qin and Jiang Shuhai went to help, but they didn't have the capital to get the goods like Jiang Shuwen.
Li Li went to tidy up the study, making sure all the master's belongings were organized.
Everyone did their part, preparing for their departure.
