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

The convoy followed a caravan out of Qingzhou City and had been walking for five days. It is expected that we will arrive in Beijing tomorrow afternoon. Without the initial excitement, Mingjia was already a little bored sitting in the carriage and observing Dong.

She found that Dong seemed to be very stable, but he was always distracted, and the closer he got to the capital, the more so. She even had a lot of imagination. Her mother must not have any extraordinary status.

Until Dong started to hold his brother Mingjun in his arms, Mingjia carefully recalled the time when Dong changed. Some people figured it out. Ms. Dong was uneasy and felt that her son could give her a sense of security.

Caravans of traders often join in to seek shelter, and generally just pay different fees depending on the distance. So every day new carriages join the caravan and carriages leave.

Three days ago, a diplomat who was traveling to study was passing by Tongcheng and was joined by two carriages. When the caravan stopped to rest, the diplomat heard that Xiao Qingshan was also studying in Tongcheng, so he came to say hello.

The two scholars over there were also chatting about speculation, and a young woman got out of the carriage where the scholar was studying abroad. She said she was coming to talk to Mr. Dong. Just as Ms. Dong was about to get out of the car, she was grabbed by Mingjia.

Mingjia glanced at the woman through the carriage curtain: Continue? Concubine? Or the outer room? That person is older than his father, so this woman will definitely not be his first wife.

"Madam, please come back. My mother just went to bed. When my mother wakes up, I will tell you." Standing outside the Xiao family carriage, the woman Xuemei suddenly heard the voice of a little girl. Although she was a little reluctant, she still It was difficult to say anything, so he left.

Dong was very angry at Mingjia's rudeness. She was worried that it would affect her husband's friendship: "Jiajia, how can you be so rude? Your father is chatting with Na Jizi, so don't make trouble."

Ming Jia looked at her mother's angry look and didn't know how to tell her: That person is most likely a concubine, and you are the real wife. Get out of the car and make friends with her concubine. Instead, he made his father feel inferior.

As long as you get off the bus, the guy will say that the two of you are on good terms. To refute again would be to break up the relationship. It would be best not to meet now. I just don’t know if the person I’m visiting this time knows about it. It’s okay if I don’t know. If he knows? Really rude.

Seeing that Dong was still angry, Mingjia didn't explain anything and the caravan set off. Xiao Qingshan returned to the carriage, and Ming Jia felt that he still had to ask about this matter: "Dad, a beautiful aunt came just now. Is she the lady who promoted the marriage?"

Xiao Qingshan frowned a little when he heard this. It would be better to let the children know earlier, so that they can be mentally prepared and adapt earlier: "No need to be polite to that woman, she is the concubine of that child. He just took her in Tongcheng, a just girl A man whose husband is dead.”

No matter how much he said, Xiao Qingshan didn't want to tell his daughter. I don't want my daughter to know this shameful thing too soon. But he didn't expect that nothing would happen to his daughter, but he frightened his wife. Dong's voice was hesitant: "Concubine?"

In fact, it is said that the concubine is all praise for her, and she did not go home to serve tea to the mistress. This is the outer room. Mrs. Dong subconsciously hugged her eldest son who was beside her tightly. When she realized that she was in a daze, she quickly let go.

In the next few days, Mingjia watched Dong being distracted and in a trance. Staring at his brother without blinking, and holding him in his arms from time to time. Mingjun is 7 years old, and in ancient times he has reached the age where he had to keep a distance from his mother.

Faced with his mother's sudden closeness, Mingjun was very happy at first, but later became a little confused. He even asked his sister for help with his eyes. Mingjia didn't want to understand her mother's sudden change, but it was too obvious and easy to guess.

The solution is also easy, Xiao Qingshan directly promised not to take concubines. They are a family of four and do not need more sons. Who told the ancients to emphasize that having more children means more happiness?

The problem is that my father, being a straight man, didn't notice my mother's uneasiness. As a young daughter, she did not have the right opportunity to remind her father. As for her mother's subconscious preference for sons over daughters when she was uneasy, she could only ignore it.

The environment was like this, and she was still young. She did not dare to challenge whether it was to change her mother's thoughts or the deep-rooted thoughts of the entire dynasty. Mingjia hopes that after arriving in the capital, she can rest for a few more days so that her mother can adjust.

The caravans were queuing up outside the capital gate to undergo inspection before entering the city. Mingjia stuck out her little head and looked at the towering city wall, feeling a little like a dream. For the first time, she clearly felt that she had traveled to ancient times.

Mingjia was just a farm girl before. She had no big ambitions and knew that the social environment did not allow her to do anything. Giving away green lanterns and ancient Buddhas to a nunnery was considered a good ending. It's a pity that only she knows the unwillingness in her heart.

Now, watching the people coming and going at the city gate, Mingjia suddenly felt that since she was now an official lady, even though she was just a county magistrate. Does she have a little more choice?

The first priority is to help dad gain a foothold in the officialdom, avoid plots, and keep the family safe.

It was finally the Xiao family's turn to check the carriage, and Xiao Qingshan handed over the family's directions. "Xiao Qingyun, a member of Tianjia Village, Qingyun County, Qingzhou, his wife is Dong, the eldest son Xiao Mingjun, and the second son Xiao Mingjia."

The carriage was quiet for a moment, and Cheng Si and others looked at Ming Jia, who was confused in the carriage, with hidden eyes. Xiao Qingshan calmly answered the city defenders: "Yes, my youngest son was born prematurely and is weak, so he is raising him as a daughter."

This kind of thing is very common, and the officers and soldiers didn't think much about it. If a girl turns into a boy, they must pay attention to whether the trafficker has abducted a boy. If you change into a girl, you are basically allowed to do so.

Cheng Si arranged for the family to stay in a somewhat remote inn and directly rented an independent small courtyard. It's already March, all the people in Chunwei have left, and the inns in the capital are much quieter.

After closing the door, Xiao Qingshan felt helpless when faced with the silent inquiries from his wife and son, and his daughter directly grabbing the corner of his clothes: "On the day Mingjia was born, I just held Mingjia in my arms and giggled. The village chief came to ask the boy or girl I didn't even hear it.

He just kept saying that he should be named Mingjia. The custom in the village is that boys are named according to their seniority, but girls are not named according to their seniority, so. . . . . The village chief misunderstood”

Mingjia had a question mark on his face, is it such a mistake? The village chief usually only goes to the county to apply for the household registration of the villagers every few months. It was a coincidence that Mingjia was born, just in time for the village chief to apply for household registration.

After getting his household registration back, Xiao Qingshan was so anxious that he only cared about his wife and never even looked at his daughter. He didn't discover the problem until he passed the exam and went to register for the Asian Champions Exam.

It would have been fine if he had corrected it, but something happened with Xie Jin at that time. He was worried that Xie Jin would use this to make a fuss, so he simply made the mistake. The dynasty had just been established, and many people in the village had registered wrong household registrations.

So Xiao Qingshan decided not to change it yet. Juren is also considered a disciple of the emperor. If the household registration is wrong, it does not count as deceiving the emperor!
