Mingjia took Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Shui out together. The main entrance of Zhiqu Building was crowded with people who came to participate in the event and watch. Mingjia entered the Zhiqu Building directly from the back door and went directly to the third floor.

There was only one waiter on duty on the entire third floor today. When he saw Ming Jia bringing someone up, he hurriedly greeted him.

Mingjia waved his hand to interrupt the waiter's salute, "No need to be polite, I'll go sit in the tea room for a while, and you can go and see some shopkeepers or accountants. If anyone has time, they can come and stand. If they don't have time, let them all be busy. !”

The waiter agreed and said quickly: "Miss, let's go to the tea room to warm up first." He led Ming Jia to the tea room and opened the door. After Ming Jia and others entered, he trotted off to find someone.

The small stove was always burning in the tea room, and it was indeed much warmer. Mingjia sat on the couch in the tea room, and Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Shui began to work, using a small stove to boil water and make tea.

"Okay!" Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers and enthusiastic applause from downstairs. Mingjia listened for a while and guessed that the activity downstairs must be a success.

In just three years, Shopkeeper Li and Accountant Li can manage Zhiqulou very well. After waiting for another three years, I believe that even if Shiqu Building is handed over to my brother, with the help of the two of them, he will not make any mistakes.

Mrs. Yan had already boiled the water and was about to make tea. The waiter who had run away arrived late. I saw the waiter standing at the door a little awkwardly, as if he was rushing to reply.

Mingjia saw the waiter's uneasiness and comforted him: "Several shopkeepers and accountants are busy, so it doesn't matter. I'll drink hot water here and go to work."

Unexpectedly, the nervous waiter did not relax because of Mingjia's words. Instead, he glanced at Granny Yan with even more nervous eyes.

After a while, Mrs. Yan seemed to notice it, and then she said, "You can move a pot of charcoal fire to the next door in advance to dispel the cold air in the room next door."

The waiter, who was in a panic just now, hurried forward after receiving the order, took a pot of charcoal fire and went to the next room.

Mingjia looked at Mrs. Yan in surprise, but Mrs. Yan seemed not to see the young lady's surprised expression. Mrs. Yan held the small jar of tea in one hand and waved it twice in front of Mingjia's eyes.

"Miss, would you like to drink tea by yourself or some hot water?" Mrs. Yan asked sincerely.

Mingjia was stunned and quickly replied: "Drink plain water! I just don't drink tea!" Mingjia thought of something and said to Granny Shui: "Grandma Shui, could you please walk around the building and outside the door and see? Let’s see what happens.”

Mingjia drank hot water to warm herself up, then went to her small single room next door to continue what she was doing before.

At noon, it was food packed and brought back from Jiang Wan's shop. In fact, near noon, Mingjia had already sorted out the things to be sorted.

However, Mingjia became colder and colder after thinking about it. After explaining the things to be dealt with this time, she decided to wait for shopkeepers Li and Chi Hai to finish their work and meet shopkeeper Chi Hai before going back.

Mingjia has already thought about the personnel arrangements. Shopkeeper Li and Accountant Li have cooperated tacitly for so many years, and Mingjia has no intention of splitting them up. But the Chi family, father and son, must break up their arrangements.

Therefore, Mingjia planned to ask shopkeeper Chi Hai to go to Ling County to work with Huang Zhengqing to manage the Shiqu Building in Ling County. As for Chi Hua, after thinking about it for several days, Mingjia decided to keep it under her nose.

Whether it is Zhuangzi or the primary school that will be busy next year in Qu County, someone needs to keep an eye on it. Ming Jia felt that the two Chi brothers should be able to handle it together.

While waiting for others, Mingjia also copied another copy of the list of questions he had written, and prepared to give one to shopkeeper Chi Hai, asking him to do the same at Shiqu Building in Lingxian County.

This year's event in Shiqulou is based on the theme of drawing lots. Different lottery tubes contain poems and articles, and have different levels of difficulty. Shopkeeper Li asked the gentlemen from the county school to help with the questions.

When you meet a knowledgeable poet who writes poems, everyone will naturally applaud. However, if many poetry students are unfortunate enough to get the poetry topic, it seems to make everyone more happy.

Mingjia listened to Mrs. Shui talk about the scene of the activities downstairs. Mingjia smiled "hehe". Sure enough, human beings still prefer to watch the fun. Especially these scholars will write poems after reading it.

Mingjia had been staying in the room reading quietly until Mrs. Yan reminded her that it was getting late and she should go back to the county office. Mingjia closed the book, glanced at the sky, and then at the still crowded crowd downstairs.

"It seems that I underestimated the enthusiasm of the scholars in Quxian County!" Mingjia joked in his heart that he had made a mistake in judgment. Putting down the book in his hand, Mingjia said to Granny Yan, "Grandma Yan, prepare the carriage! Let's go back!"

When Mingjia went downstairs and passed by the boy in Shiqulou, he said, "Please help me tell shopkeeper Chi Hai that I will ask shopkeeper Chi Hai to come to the county government office tomorrow to talk about it."

Mingjia had just returned to her yard and hadn't had time to change out of her clothes. Shuang'er came to report that Master Mingjun's personal servant Aman had just arrived. It seemed that he was a little sneaky, as if he came here secretly.

Mingjia frowned immediately after hearing Shuang'er's description. "Grandma Yan, whose uncle sent my brother to the academy today? Help me call him to the study."

There was no need to change his outer robe, Mingjia went directly to the study. For Aman to make such a trip, it must be because his brother encountered difficulties in the county school.

Thinking of this, Mingjia was still confused. My brother is young, but he is studying in Class A. His classmates are many older than him, and they all know that he is the son of the county magistrate. Who would give him a hard time?

Mingjia only waited for a while when she arrived in the study, and Thirteen and Fourteen arrived. Ming Jia looked a little sad and forced out a smile, "Uncle Thirteen! Uncle Fourteen, please sit down first!"

Thirteen and Fourteen looked at each other, feeling guilty. The young master did not allow them to tell others what the eldest young master learned in the county today, and they also wanted to hide it for selfish reasons.

However, looking at Miss Mingjia's face, she seemed to know everything. Mingjia had no clue at first, but now she saw the expressions of Thirteen and Fourteen, and she had some guesses in her mind.

Only when Thirteen and Fourteen were seated firmly did Shuang'er arrive with Aman. When Thirteen and Fourteenth saw Amandu arriving, their anxious hearts really dropped, and Miss Mingjia knew it.

Mingjia saw Aman entering the room and was about to salute, so he quickly stopped him. "Aman, you are looking for me today because of my brother's school affairs in the county?"

Aman went in and saw that the Thirteenth Master and the Fourteenth Master were there, and Miss Mingjia asked like this again. It can be seen that Miss Mingjia must know everything.

Aman immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake, saying that it was because he failed to protect the young master that he allowed the brat to get close to the young master, and even had the opportunity to fight with the young master.

When Mingjia heard that Aman used the word "fight", she stood up suddenly, and then looked at Granny Yan. Mrs. Yan understood this and immediately sent someone to find Dr. Huang to come to the county government office.
