In fact, if you read Xiao Qingshan's letter carefully, you can also read a lot of information. It depends on whether Sun Juan's mind is clear enough. After writing his reply to Sun Juan, Xiao Qingshan suddenly thought of Chen Shaoang. He returned to his hometown in Yuezhou to take part in the provincial examination.

It stands to reason that Yuezhou is closer to Qu County, so this letter of good news should have arrived long ago. Thinking that Yuezhou was also invaded by grassland tribes, I wonder if the rural examination was affected.

Xiao Qingshan is really worried about Chen Shaoang. This young man is really destined to have a bad life. If he fails to take the provincial examination this year due to the war or does not get admitted due to poor grades, it will be difficult for Chen Shaoang to have a chance in the future.

When Chen Shaoang came here before, he also left him a mailing address. But at that time, it was said that it was used to contact him when there was something important. Xiao Qingshan held the pen and thought for a while, and decided that it would be better to wait for Chen Shao'ang to write to him.

A few days later, Xie Boyuan received a letter from Shi County Lieutenant, no, it should be called Shi County Magistrate, agreeing on a time to go from Chuanzhou to Ling County to take up his post. It will pass by Qu County at that time, and people in Zhiqulou can follow the convoy to Ling County.

Mingjia saw the letter immediately. Without saying anything, Mingjia held up the letter in his hand and looked at his master. Although he said nothing, his eyes were full of questions: "Where are the people? Where are your manpower?"

Xie Boyuan touched his nose awkwardly, okay, he was also very anxious. It was Lao Lu who spoke up in time to save Xie Boyuan from the embarrassing situation: "We have sent people ahead to deliver the message. We expect to be able to enter the city before dark tomorrow."

For a moment, both Xie Boyuan and Ming Jia looked at Lao Lu, some with questions and some with surprises. Lao Lu stood calmly, accepting the scrutiny of the master and apprentice.

Mingjia was relieved when she heard that she would arrive tomorrow. Discuss directly with the master how to allocate personnel. Mingjia's idea is to just send a steward there first.

"In the past, as long as we showed our identity and made some high-profile site selections, we basically helped Magistrate Shixian." Mingjia calculated the site selection, plus the decoration time, Lingxian Shiqu Building could open as soon as the end of the year.

Mingjia is not a superstitious person, but she has been standing in ancient times in the form of fetal traversal. It is inevitable that some people will not believe it, so the specific time will have to wait until Xie Boyuan turns over the imperial calendar.

Anyway, it was Xie Boyuan who decided the opening time of the Shiqu Building in Quxian County. Mingjia felt that the entire business situation was going very smoothly. Although Xie Boyuan is not involved in the actual operation of Zhiqu Building, he must do the setting of the date.

Xie Boyuan had no objection to sending a few people there, but he still liked his own manpower to stay at Shiqulou in Qu County for a while in advance.

On the one hand, it is to learn more about the business model of Zhiqulou. On the other hand, Xie Boyuan secretly hopes that his people can have more contact with Mingjia.

Ming Jia also planned this. It was already the end of September. Xie Boyuan's manpower has arrived, and he will basically stay in Qu County until the Chinese New Year, and will see how to distribute it after the new year.

Ming Jia saw Xie Boyuan's "I'll leave it all to you" look and turned to talk to Lao Lu. She felt that Lao Lu knew some things better: "Lu Bo, how many people are coming back this time? Have you chosen a place to stay?"

Lao Lu didn't expect that Miss Mingjia would ask him directly. After thinking for a while, he replied: "There are three shopkeepers, two accountants, and a few boys and coachmen accompanying them. In total, there are more than ten people."

He didn't mention where to live, so it seems he hasn't thought about it yet. Nowadays, Mingjia has a strong say in Xie Boyuan's side, and Lao Lu and other subordinates also directly listen to Mingjia's instructions.

Mingjia thought for a while and asked Shuang'er to call Granny Yan. When Granny Yan arrived, Mingjia directly ordered: "Grandma Yan, you and Lu Bo go to Shiqu Building to pay some money and find a yaozi to rent near Shiqu Building. House."

Mrs. Yan quickly asked how big a house she wanted and how long the lease would be. Ming Jia pointed to the old road: "Lu Bo knows the specific situation, let him tell you! There must be at least two entrances to the yard, and there is a carriage!"

Mrs. Yan bowed and saluted, then left with Lao Lu. Xie Boyuan watched from the side, and then spoke: "Just let Lao Lu handle this small matter by himself. From now on, it would be better for Mrs. Yan to stay by your side at all times."

Mingjia had nothing to do now, so she patiently explained to her master: "Uncle Lu, go and he will come back after renting the house. Granny Yan will go, and after renting the house, she will send her servants to clean it and buy some necessary supplies." Prepare supplies.”

I heard that Lao Lu meant to arrive before dark, so I thought it wouldn't be too early. At that time, you will still need to clean the yard yourself. If you find something missing again, you will definitely panic.

Xie Boyuan thought about Lao Lu's style of doing things, huh! Indeed, it is not necessary to clean the old road in advance if you live there yourself, let alone if it is a yard rented to others.

Since Mingjia fully recovered, she has been as busy as a spinning top these days. At this moment, he remembered something again. He took a gift list from the desk drawer and handed it to Master Xie Boyuan.

Xie Boyuan took the gift list and opened it and looked at it. They were all specialties from the northwest. There are good things in different counties and states, and it is not difficult to see that the people who prepared the gift list put their best efforts into it.

Mingjia no longer has any extravagant hopes that her master and she can have any tacit understanding. Ask directly: "In a few days, Eunuch Li and Doctor Zhang will leave for Beijing. This is the gift list I prepared. Can you tell me what else you need to add?"

Xie Boyuan then looked at the gift list carefully again. In fact, he also prepared a gift list. But compared to Mingjia's, it's a bit perfunctory.

Xie Boyuan got up and went to Mingjun's study next door and got his gift list. Ming Jia found that although the gift preparation for his master was a bit perfunctory, the gift list was written with great care.

Because, Xie Boyuan's gift list was in duplicate, and the overall gift list was divided into independent gift lists, with gift lists for different people. Mingjia looked at the gift list and saw that there were only two jars of chili sauce for Mr. Ning Guo.

Well, just looking at Duke Ning Guo's gift, Ming Jia felt that the master was also thoughtful. I just don’t know what the intention is, but Mingjia can’t care about it.

Mingjia thought about it and realized that the only person they knew in the capital was Li Hansheng, so her gift list was all for Uncle Li. Xie Boyuan suddenly turned his eyes, leaned closer and asked Mingjia softly: "Jiajia, do you want to cheat Xu Shengyuan again!"

Mingjia turned her head and looked at the master with a smirk on her face. She felt that it was really unnecessary. The Xu family is well-known in the capital. If I send gifts now, I will wait a few months at most for the other party to return home with some New Year's gifts. Mingjia is really not short of that little New Year's gift.

Seeing Mingjia shaking his head, Xie Boyuan lost interest. When Xie Boyuan saw that Mingjia had studied the gift list he had written for a while, he took the booklet again and copied the new gift list.

Xie Boyuan glanced at Ming Jia's newly written gift list, which was much more formal. Because it was for Li Hansheng, only the names of Ming Jun and Ming Jia were written on the signature.
