Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

The next day, Licheng.

Ding Xiling was leading dozens of women in a group.

Besides them, several other women who usually take care of household chores at home were also called over.

The women were clearly somewhat reserved, sitting close together and glancing at each other every now and then, but none of them took the initiative to speak.

The young woman asked softly, "Xiling, are we really okay? After all, we don't know anything."

Ding Xiling laughed and said, "Of course you can. Nobody is born knowing everything. You can just learn for a few more days."

She led her people to the workshop and the artisans.

Yang asked, "Miss Ding, is everything you need here?"

Ding Xiling nodded: "Everything is there."

"That's good. Everything is ready. Let's head over now. It's the holidays, so there aren't any students at the school. All the rooms are empty, so we can use a few of them," Yang Jiang said frankly.

"School?" a woman asked.

Yang nodded.

"The tables and chairs are already there, and the rooms don't need much renovation. We can go study there once that vocational school is finished!"

A group of people arrived at the school.

Quartz is white and clean, and it shines in the sunlight, making it very beautiful.

The women stared in astonishment at the modern school building.

"It's so beautiful."

"Exactly, I wonder what it's like inside."

"The stone feels so smooth to the touch, the material is really good."

Yang Jiang said, "It was built personally by Young Master Bai, how could it be bad?"

In an open space not far away, several children were playing with poppies in their hands.

Tieshan stood there with his arms outstretched, and was treated like a toy by the children.

Several children clung to its arms, and one particularly daring child even rode directly on Tieshan's neck, laughing heartily.

Tieshan wasn't annoyed; he just stood there blankly, letting the children do whatever they wanted.

Until one of the children saw the group approaching, stopped, and then patted the other children.

Soon, all the children stopped what they were doing and looked in this direction.

Tieshan tilted his head and looked over.

So, a group of children and a group of women who had just entered stared at each other wide-eyed.

"Who are they?"

A child asked curiously.

The children around them shook their heads and talked amongst themselves.

"I don't know, but judging from their appearance, they're probably here to learn as well."

"That's terrible, they don't have winter break."

"Oh right, let's go somewhere else to play, we can't disturb their studies."

Several children reached out and grabbed Tieshan, while another ran behind Tieshan and pushed it.

"Tieshan, let's go play over there!"

Tieshan offered no resistance, letting the children carry him away, causing the ground to tremble as they went.

One of the women muttered, "These children seem to know Lord Tieshan very well."

Yang Jiang said with a smile, "If you didn't have anything to do in the past, you could have gone to chat with Lord Tieshan."

"Lord Tieshan has a very good temperament. He doesn't mind the children making a fuss, nor does he mind us."

"Okay." The woman nodded.

Just as I was agreeing, someone came up behind me and called out.

"Make way, make way!"

Looking back, I saw several people in pairs, working together to carry different wooden implements over.

Those machines were quite heavy; normally, it would take at least five or six people to lift them.

The craftsmen, however, moved with ease, even carrying these tools with remarkable speed.

Seeing so many people arrive, the women huddled together. The women exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with pity, and went over to pat the women on the back.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay."

The women's bodies were still somewhat stiff.

The craftsmen carrying the tools also noticed this scene and silently quickened their pace to pass by the crowd as quickly as possible.

Only after the craftsmen had gone far away did their tense bodies relax.

One of them whispered, "Those people were incredibly strong. Is this the power of protection?"

One of the women nodded, a hint of envy in her eyes: "Such a heavy thing, and two people can move it."

"If we had that much strength, we wouldn't be so afraid in the future."

"Um."

"That's why we need to learn it."

After walking for a while, the guide stopped in front of a spacious classroom.

"We're here, this is it."

He pushed open the door.

Ding Xiling led the women behind her inside.

Several wooden spinning machines had already been set up inside the room, with bundles of neatly arranged silk threads and fabrics placed beside them.

The craftsman walked to a spinning machine and said with a smile, "Since you're just starting out, let's begin with the simplest spinning. It's not difficult at all. You've all had some experience with embroidery before, haven't you?"

Several women nodded.

"That's good."

Yang said, "Embroidery is all about working with needle and thread, so there are some similarities, making it easier to learn."

"Once I've learned this, I can slowly learn the others later."

Ding Xiling was a little puzzled. She wondered why they started like this without waiting for anyone else.

When they passed through the other rooms, they clearly saw that there were many more people sitting in those rooms than here.

Ding Xiling stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yang, why are there only women here?"

Yang Jiang lowered his voice and said, "This was specially arranged by Young Master Bai."

"Young Master Bai said that you women have a rather special status."

"So we've arranged a separate place for you to learn, so you don't have to mix with other people."

He glanced at the women who were smiling and arranging the silk threads.

"You don't need to worry, everyone here knows the rules, and no one will bother you casually on ordinary days."

Looking at the smiling sisters in the room, Ding Xiling felt a mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe.

It turns out that Young Master Bai knew all along.

They even considered these details in advance for them.

Ding Xiling's eyes felt a little hot.

That aloof and powerful White Immortal Lord truly cared about ordinary women like them.

"We will study hard!" Ding Xiling said softly.
