Mingjia frowned a little after hearing Xie Boyuan's arrangements for her brother's next exam. Although the arrangement sounded reasonable, Mingjia felt something was wrong, but couldn't explain it for the moment.

In the end, I really couldn't figure out what was wrong. Mingjia also let go. It happened that the main hospital sent someone to look for the brothers and sisters, saying that dinner was ready.

During dinner, Miss Jiang’s new mushroom hot sauce was well received. Even Dong, who usually doesn't eat hot sauce at all, couldn't help but eat a lot of it.

After the meal, the family chatted together, and Mr. Dong mentioned Mingjia's move to the yard. Mingjun was also asked for his opinion on whether to reopen the courtyard.

Mingjia's things have already been packed and can be moved there at any time. The final conclusion was to send everything over first, but Ming Jiaren would have to wait for an auspicious day before she could officially move there.

Mingjun's yard doesn't need much repair, it just needs to be reopened. I also moved my things to the small courtyard on the other side in advance and waited until the same day as Mingjia.

On the second day, Mingjia reported to Dong after breakfast and left the house to Shiqu Building.

Mingjia has a small room of her own on the third floor of Zhiqu Building, which is a combination of a reception room and an office. Ming Jia was looking at the account books of the primary school sent by Chi Hua while waiting for Mrs. Yan to invite Lieutenant Shen to come.

The primary school has been open for two months, and there are only about twenty children in total, six of whom Mingjia took over from other counties.

This invasion of the grassland tribes left many children orphaned. There are also many families who have to sell their children and daughters in order to make ends meet.

Mingjia took this opportunity and sent people to the surrounding counties to select a few smart children. This time, the children retained their original good status and did not change it to slave status.

Although doing this is risky and may lack control over these children, Mingjia hopes that these children can become talented.

She did not want these children to feel inferior in primary school because they were slaves. Mingjia is not soft-hearted, after all, these children will not stay with Mingjia in the future, and they all need to be scattered.

But Mingjiako holds a contract of betrayal for everyone around him! Moreover, Mingjia had settled the account a long time ago, and no matter how he calculated it, he would definitely make a profit without losing any money.

Mingjia had already thought about it. When he bought these children, he didn't spend much money. As long as they can collect some medicinal herbs in the future and make a little money, they can repay their money for selling themselves.

In fact, the rent and food allocated to each child in these years is very small. In short, Mingjia will never lose money, he just wants to see if he can make a lot of money.

The account books for only two months are nothing interesting, just the monthly banknotes of a few gentlemen and some fixed expenses. After Mingjia flipped through the account book, she opened several copybooks written by the children.

Unlike the "Three Character Classic" or "Hundred Family Surnames" written by other children in the enlightenment stage, the children in the primary school practice writing the names of medicinal herbs.

There was only one copybook, so Mingjia asked Xie Boyuan to extract the names of all the herbs in "A Detailed Explanation of Hundred Flavors".

After Xie Boyuan finished writing this copybook, Mingjia was reluctant to give it to the primary school.

Mingjia wanted to keep it for himself, but in the end Mingjia secretly admired it for a long time and copied it several times before sending it to the primary school.

Now, the child has just started to practice writing. It would be good if he can control the brush well. Mingjia looked at the copybook and couldn't help but think of the time when she first started practicing calligraphy.

"In a moment, remember to ask Chi Hua to send more rice paper to the primary school!" Mingjia found that many papers were used on both sides.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" There was a knock on the door. Ming Jia looked up from the copybook and guessed that County Captain Shen had arrived: "Please come in!"

Mrs. Yan opened the door and walked in, followed by Lieutenant Shen.

Lieutenant Shen Xianxian had been to Zhiqu Building before, but he didn't read the question book, so he only selected a few books on the first floor. This is the first time for people to come up to the third floor. Shen Xianwei has been looking at the third floor of Shiqu Building calmly.

Ming Jia quickly stood up and bowed to Captain Shen: "Hello, Lieutenant Shen! Please sit down, Lieutenant Shen!" He pointed to the chair opposite him.

Then he turned to look at Granny Yan, "Grandma Yan, show Lieutenant Shen some tea!"

Lieutenant Shen raised his eyebrows. He usually called him "Uncle Shen", but just now Mingjia called himself "Officer Shen" three times in a row.

Lieutenant Shen had some suspicions in his mind, so he sat directly opposite Mingjia. County Lieutenant Shen has been watching everything going on in the county government with a cold eye for more than two years. He still knows something about Miss Mingjia.

County Lieutenant Shen looked at Ming Jia, who was still a child across from him, and felt a strange feeling in his heart. Lieutenant Shen couldn't help but recall: What was he doing when he was seven years old?

Finally, Lieutenant Shen felt that he should be begging on the street or fleeing with his parents at that time. Anyway, I was caught and almost eaten when I was nine, and I was rescued when I was nine.

Ming Jia found that Lieutenant Shen was sitting opposite him, and he was distracted? Mingjia was very surprised. Didn't he say that this was a trained spy?

Then, Ming Jia and Shen Xianwei were distracted, both thinking about their own things. It wasn't until Granny Yan came back with tea that the two of them were able to withdraw from their emotions.

After Mrs. Yan put down her teacup, she glanced at Mingjia again. After making sure that Mingjia had no other instructions, she turned around and left the room. However, the door was not closed, so even if there were only two people, Shen County Lieutenant and Ming Jia, it would not matter.

Mingjia silently moved her buttocks to the charcoal basin. Even though she was in Zhiqu Building, it was still cold with the door open.

Lieutenant Shen looked back at the open door and noticed Ming Jia's little movements. Lieutenant Shen also moved his chair silently to block more of the air-conditioning coming in from the door.

Lieutenant Shen Xian was the first to speak after moving his chair: "Thank you Miss Mingjia for sending someone to deliver the new flavor of hot sauce yesterday. I like it very much."

Ming Jia looked at the serious Lieutenant Shen, and suddenly smiled and said, "Next, Miss Jiang and I will develop and sell this mushroom hot sauce. Lieutenant Shen thinks it's good, why don't you help Ming Jia write an article to praise it?"

Lieutenant Shen's expression suddenly froze. Are you asking him to write an article? Fortunately, Miss Mingjia could figure it out. When he was the county magistrate before, he relied on Master Yuan to lead the county's clerks and officials well.

Ming Jia saw Lieutenant Shen's expression and said, "Hahaha..." She smiled and stopped teasing Lieutenant Shen, and directly stated the purpose of looking for Lieutenant Shen this time.

Although Ming Jia also loves gossip, she only gets her way in front of the rightful owner. However, now that he plans to do business with Miss Jiang, there are some things Mingjia still needs to ask clearly.

Mingjia asked a few questions and was dumbfounded. Afterwards, Mingjia called Mrs. Yan in. This time it was County Captain Shen's turn to be dumbfounded.
