After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Mingjia couldn't wait to see Dong's expression when she got the handkerchief, so she hurried back to the study in the front yard after dinner. As soon as Mingjia left, Mrs. Shi came over to chat with the director.

Mrs. Shi was a little embarrassed because she cried so much in front of Mr. Dong yesterday. However, she wanted to ask Mr. Dong for something, so she shamelessly came here today.

On the way here, Mrs. Shi saw Mrs. Shui next to Mr. Dong taking a few boys to the kitchen backyard. Mrs. Shi turned back and glanced at the maid beside her, then glanced at the direction Mrs. Shui left, and then continued to the Xiao family.

Mrs. Shi actually wanted to ask Mrs. Shui or Mrs. Yan to teach her daughter for a while. Her daughter is already 11 years old this year. I planned to meet each other last year, but there was really no suitable person in Qu County.

Shi Xianwei wanted to find a son-in-law from a poor family for his daughter. He only wanted his son-in-law to study well and be good to his daughter. But Mrs. Shi was a little reluctant to let her daughter marry into a poor family and suffer hardship. After all, no one could say when she would be able to take the imperial examination and become an official.

Mrs. Shi wanted her daughter to marry in Zhoucheng, and her future daughter-in-law's family would also be in Zhoucheng. In the future, the two brothers and sisters will be able to take care of each other, and a good husband's choice for the daughter will also be helpful to the son in the future.

However, if a daughter wants to marry well, her etiquette and rules must be the best. Mrs. Shi had seen several powerful women in Zhoucheng, but they were far inferior to Mrs. Shui and Mrs. Yan.

Therefore, Mrs. Shi wanted to ask Mrs. Shui or Mrs. Yan to teach her daughter for a while. When autumn comes, she will take her daughter back to Chuanzhou City to prepare for her son's wedding.

I will definitely attend a lot of banquets. If I have the opportunity, I will take my daughter to meet the wives. When my daughter behaves better, my daughter's marriage will be settled.

Ms. Dong was looking at the handkerchief embroidered by her daughter and was worried: Jiajia was so young in the past few years that she couldn't hold the embroidery needle firmly. Now 7 years old, she is still such a good embroiderer. Ms. Dong feels that her daughter has no talent in embroidery.

The little maid came to report that Mrs. Shi was here. Mrs. Dong quickly folded the embroidered side of the handkerchief and hid it under the sewing basket. Jiajia also cares about face, so it’s better not to let others see it.

Mrs. Shi came in and sat down because she wanted to talk about her daughter's etiquette and rules. Both families have daughters, so Mrs. Shi took the initiative to chat about the two young ladies’ current study problems.

Mrs. Shi knew that Miss Xiao was apprenticed to Master Yuan, and she always felt that it was the Xiao couple's plan. Because Master Yuan has no heirs and master and apprentice are like father and son, the Xiao family has taken a fancy to the Shiqulou property.

Knowing that her daughter was definitely not as knowledgeable as Xiao Mingjia, Mrs. Shi kept talking about her daughter's good embroidery skills, and even showed Ms. Dong a random handkerchief that her daughter had embroidered herself and given to her.

Mrs. Dong took the handkerchief handed over by Mrs. Shi, but her eyes kept drifting to the sewing basket. Later, when Mrs. Shi discussed any issues regarding her daughter's education, Mr. Dong felt a little guilty.

Especially when Mrs. Shi praised Mingjia for her good etiquette and rules, Mrs. Dong also felt guilty.

On the one hand, Mrs. Dong knew that Mingjia had simplified the teachings of Mrs. Shui and Mrs. Yan in order to be lazy.

Secondly, Mrs. Dong knew her daughter's appearance outside and even more so at home. When she thought of Miss Shi's usual gentle and well-behaved appearance, she felt really guilty.

Fortunately, Mingjia didn't know. If Mingjia knew, her mother actually thought Miss Shi was gentle and well-behaved. I must regret not keeping the fragments of the tea set and vase that Miss Shi broke in the past two years. Maybe I won’t have to go out to the city to pick up the fragments today.

Mrs. Shi originally wanted to praise Xiao Mingjia, and then casually ask who Mingjia's mother-in-law was. Finally, I took advantage of the situation and said that I wanted to ask the foster mother to come over and teach her daughter for a few days.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Dong never talked to her, and she just kept praising her daughter for being gentle and well-behaved. Finally, Mrs. Shi had no choice but to get up and leave.

Mrs. Shi left the main courtyard of the Xiao family, still a little angry. When he saw his maid waiting for him at the entrance of the main courtyard, he took the maid back.

After walking for a while, Mrs. Shi looked through the flower window of the corridor and saw many people coming and going from the kitchen and backyard. The more Mrs. Shi thought about it, the more something was wrong, so she walked over.

Mrs. Shi saw people digging soil, transporting broken porcelain pieces, and others working on the wall. Mrs. Shi remembered that Mr. Dong had just said that Mingjia wanted to dig a pond.

Mrs. Shi took the maid around the entire backyard and suddenly felt envious of Mrs. Dong. Both of their husbands are officials in Qu County, and they both have a son and a daughter. They are heartbroken for their children. The Dong family is protected by everyone!

This year there is a drought and lack of rain. Do you suddenly want to dig a pond? The loess mixed with glutinous rice and the broken porcelain pieces were put on the wall. Mrs. Shi thought that her husband had gone to the garrison camp to suppress bandits.

Mrs. Shi is not the Dong family. The Dong family has been on the run during the war and does not even have a stable place to live. Mrs. Shi's family is a resident of Chuanzhou City. When wars broke out and bandits were rampant, many families in the city had broken porcelain pieces inserted into their walls.

Mingjia was reading in the study when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. Now Mrs. Yan and Shuang'er were not waiting in the study. Mingjia went over to open the study door and saw Mrs. Shi standing outside the door.

Mingjia was confused as to why Mrs. Shi came to the study in the front yard. Mrs. Shi came in and looked at the large study room. She found that there were many more books here than in her son's study room.

Looking at the desk with the teacup on it, it was obvious that Mingjia had just been sitting there reading. I saw a lot of books on the desk and the bookshelf behind the desk. Only then did Mrs. Shi really realize the authenticity of Xiao Mingjia's statement that he was studying with Master Yuan.

Mingjia looked at Mrs. Shi and quickly invited her in. There is no maid around her now, and she can't serve tea. Mingjia had no choice but to stand aside and watch Mrs. Shi look around the study.

Suddenly, Mrs. Shi spoke: "I just came out of your mother's yard, and she said you wanted to dig a pond!" Mingjia didn't understand why Mrs. Shi suddenly said this, so she wanted to explain.

But Mrs. Shi did not wait for Mingjia to speak, and then said the next sentence: "I see someone is repairing the courtyard wall. My family buys a lot of new dishes every year. Now the population is smaller than before, and we usually have to clean it up. I’ll ask the maid to clean it up and use it later!”

The more Ming Jia listened, the more frightened she became. Mrs. Shi could actually see what she was going to do. Mingjia looked up at Mrs. Shi and said, "I borrowed your carriage this morning and we went to the outside of the city to break the porcelain pieces."

Mrs. Shi had already guessed it, but the county government office was so big that there were many walls in the backyard. "Take it and use it! Otherwise, it will be thrown away when you move in the future." Mrs. Shi said this intentionally, okay! It's just that she suddenly became worried about her husband's safety.

The Quxian County Government is already facing a formidable enemy. Is my husband really safe? She knew she couldn't find anything from Dong, but she actually wanted to come to Mingjia to find out.
