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

In the evening, Mingjia received a small box from the boy sent by Xie Boyuan. When Shuang'er came in holding it with both hands, Mingjia felt it looked familiar. When she opened it, she saw that it was indeed the box that contained the banknotes before.

Mingjia took out all the banknotes and counted them. There were twenty thousand taels of banknotes in total. But after searching the box, there was no word. Seeing Shuang'er's intentions, the boy who brought the thing just said it was for him.

Ming Jia looked at the thick stack of banknotes and suddenly wanted to trick the master again. After all, this money can be regarded as investing in her business, or entrusting her to help invest, or it can actually be said to be a gift from the master.

Mingjia thought of a joke from her previous life, "Please mark it down and give it to me voluntarily!"

Mingjia just finished checking the accounts with all the shopkeepers and accounting clerks yesterday. In the past six years, the business seemed to be booming. But the total income from all industries is only about fourteen thousand taels.

This is the last two years that Lingxian Shiqulou has begun to exert its strength. In addition, due to the mock examination of the imperial examination, Shiqulou has become popular again. Otherwise, Mingcan would have less money to use.

However, with an average income of more than two thousand taels a year, it is considered a very profitable industry in Daliang. Moreover, the money was divided between three people. Even Mingjun's share was given to Mingjia. The money Mingjia could get from Xuzhou for investment was less than 10,000 taels.

Mingjia was calculating the accounts secretly in her mind. When she first came to Qu County, an acre of good farmland in Qu County only cost 800 cents, but she heard that the price increased to one or two cents per acre in the second year.

Spring plowing will begin this year, and the best farmland in Qu County already costs two taels of silver per acre. If it is in large tracts or has water sources nearby, the price may be even higher.

This is just a border state. If you go to the south, where the population is larger and the land yield is higher, the price of the land will be more expensive. Mother Shui once said that the price of high-quality paddy fields is at least twice that of the same land.

Although Mingjia has always said that she would not risk touching a large manor, she also fantasized about owning a large manor. It would be best to be one with a size of several hundred hectares, built with houses and fields. Mingjia felt that it would be good to keep it for retirement.

Mingjia has collected all the banknotes. Regarding the specific situation, she will meet with Xie Boyuan tomorrow before making a decision, although Mingjia feels that she will definitely accept the money in the end. Even if it was just to help his master invest, Mingjia also wanted to feel the pleasure of spending a lot of money.

Mingjun has stopped going to the county school and will go to Xie Boyuan's yard every day to do surprise pre-examination strengthening. Mingjia spent most of her time in the backyard of the county government office, either accompanying Dong's packing, or organizing her own small warehouse.

Mingjia's small warehouse can be said to be the most valuable warehouse in the entire county government's backyard. Every box was sent by Li Hansheng and Xie Boyuan in real money over the years. Of course, many of them were sent by the prince and princess in Li Hansheng's name.

Soon the day came for the brothers Mingjun and Mingjia to set off back to Qingzhou. Mingjun needed to rush to Qingzhou to register for the childbirth examination before the end of May.

Dong held Mingjia in his arms with great reluctance, and said to Mingjia with a guilty look on his face: "I should have told your brother to take good care of you, but I really don't trust him, and now I want you to watch your brother more. "

Ming Jia quickly comforted Mr. Dong and said, "Mom, I accompanied my brother back to Qingzhou just to take care of him! Don't worry! Mrs. Yan is here, and Uncle Thirteen and Fourteenth are here. We will be safe."

Xiao Qingshan was a little restless. He could no longer hold his daughter like Dong, but looking at his eldest son who was already on his shoulders, he really couldn't say anything sensational.

Mingjun saw his father looking at him frequently, and quickly said: "Dad, I have packed everything. Master also gave me a lot of test questions, and I will prepare for the exam well. And don't worry, I will take good care of my sister." .”

When Xiao Qingshan saw that his son had finished saying everything he wanted to say, he didn't want to say anything at all.

Mingjia saw that Dong's mood seemed to be much better, so Mingjia mentioned what she had always wanted to say to her parents. "Mom and Dad, I want to wear men's clothes when I go out this time. From now on, I will always show myself in men's clothes."

Xiao Qingshan and Dong looked at each other and found that each other was confused. Dong was the first to speak. "It's more convenient for girls to wear men's clothes when they go out. But in the future..."

Ming Jia nodded directly and interrupted Dong's words, "In the future, my brother will stay in Sichuan to study. I will show off in men's clothing, and my parents will have a legitimate son by their side, which can save a lot of trouble."

Mrs. Dong immediately understood what Ming Jia meant. Ms. Dong was very ashamed that her daughter was actually thinking about herself.

Seeing that Dong's eyes were red, Ming Jia was afraid that her mother would really cry, so she quickly continued, "Dad, I will serve in Dianzhou for at least three years. I will be thirteen years old by then, and the girl from Daliang will be thirteen years old." You have to get engaged, otherwise someone will gossip."

"Mom and Dad, I am the only daughter among you. Are you willing to commit me to Dianzhou? I don't know how far away I will be from you in the future!" Mingjia doesn't care how ridiculous this reason is at this moment. Anyway, parting is imminent, and her parents are the most important at this time. When I can't bear to leave her.

Xiao Qingshan felt a little angry when he thought of his daughter getting married. But I felt something was wrong in my heart, "Jiajia, then you can't wear men's clothes all the time!"

In fact, Mingjia thinks there is nothing wrong with wearing men's clothes all the time, but she can't tell her parents this. "Then the age of fifteen is the limit? When I was fifteen, I would change back to women's clothing regardless of whether my father was transferred from Dianzhou or not."

Xiao Qingshan and Dong were completely fooled by Ming Jia at this moment, but Ming Jun was very sober. However, Mingjun also thinks that Mingjia is good in men's clothing, and he will definitely be able to protect his sister in five years.

"Mom and Dad, I think Jiajia's idea is very good! Moreover, Jiajia's household registration is male, so it is safe to walk in men's clothes!" Mingjun helped Mingjia persuade his parents.

In the end, Xiao Qingshan and Dong agreed after discussing it. In the future, when they leave Sichuan Province, they will also tell the outside world that they are two sons, and they will also tell all their servants to keep their mouths shut.

Xiao Qingshan was a little worried about the spring plowing in Qu County, and planned to wait until the spring plowing ended in April before setting off for Dianzhou. Counting the days, I arrived in Quxian County in April of the seventh year of Kaiyuan. As of April this year, it is exactly six years.

The next day, the genius was revealed, and the backyard of the county government office became lively. The luggage that Mingjun and Mingjia wanted to take away had been loaded into the car yesterday, and they only needed to hitch the horses today.

In the north, it is very important to put dumplings on the cart and noodles on the cart. Mingjun and Mingjia always said that it would be better to eat it one day in advance, but Dong still got up early to make dumplings for the brother and sister.

Mingjun wanted to continue to persuade his mother, but Mingjia stopped him. "Let mom make dumplings. When we set off, mom will feel at ease at home. Otherwise, she will always regret not making dumplings for us."
