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

In the dead of night, Xie Boyuan also asked himself if he regretted leaving the capital. He had stayed in Sichuan for six years, and he estimated that he would stay for at least another six years.

But the final answer is no regrets. However, he regretted not persuading his father to completely separate the family before leaving the capital. Drive those clan members who are rotten to the core out of the Xie family.

If the Xie family wants to restore the glory of the previous dynasty, they just need to train their children to study with peace of mind. Whether the children of the Xie family take part in the imperial examination or become officials, no one dares to bully them.

However, if the Xie family becomes too ambitious at this time and dreams of wealth that they should not have, it will push the Xie family into a pit of fire. There are so many aristocratic families in the capital, and it would be too easy to kill the current Xie family.

Xie Boyuan and his cousin Xie Boyu talked about the current situation of the Xie family. His cousin Xie Boyu also agreed with Xie Boyuan's idea, but he also said directly that the elder of the Xie family was very ambitious!

Mr. Xie also knew about the transaction between Xie Boyuan and Mingjia Home. Mr. Xie got angry with Xie Boyuan over this, and Mr. Xie felt that Mingjia should not be involved in the quagmire of the Xie family.

Moreover, the third brother-in-law of the Xie family has already been in contact with His Highness the Crown Prince, so this matter is no longer Xie Boyuan's place to intervene. What happens next depends on the fate of the Xie family.

The Shiqu Building in the capital is located in Changxingfang in the east city. Mingjun and Mingjia took Mrs. Yan and Aman out, with Shisan and Shen Qi following at a distance.

For the first time, the brother and sister did not take a carriage, but walked around the capital. Although Mrs. Yan has lived in the capital for a long time, she really doesn't understand the city's streets.

Shen Qi wanted to step forward to help Mingjun and Mingjia explain, but was stopped by Shisan, "Young masters, if you have any questions, you will take the initiative to ask us."

Finally, Thirteen glanced sideways at Shen Qi and continued: "Your face is still a bit eye-catching, try not to get close to the young master!"

Shen Qi touched his face in embarrassment. What was so glaring about him? He's not ugly! It won’t scare little girl Mingjia.

Mingjun and Mingjia went shopping and asked about prices to experience the lives of the people in the capital. They not only learned about the prices of goods in the capital, but also learned about the local customs. Since leaving Qu County, Ming Jun started writing his travel notes again.

Mingjia rarely writes travel notes nowadays, but Mingjia will record the customs or specialties of various places that interest her. Mingjia would still comment on the travel notes written by her brother, mostly about the local economy.

Mingjun and Mingjia walked all the way, looking back at Shen Qi from time to time, and Shen Qi gave directions remotely. Finally, we arrived at the Shiqu Building in Beijing.

The Shiqu Building in Beijing is also a small three-story building. The three characters "Shiqu Building" were shipped to the capital on a plaque made in Qu County. Mingjia stood outside the Shiqu Building, looking at the decoration that was very similar to the Shiqu Building in Qu County, and felt a little dazed.

The shopkeeper of Zhiqulou in Beijing was directly arranged by Xie Boyuan, whose surname was Wang. It was said that he was also a scholar, but later someone in the clan was involved in a crime and the whole family was convicted.

When Xie Boyuan saw that there were several good scholars in the Wang family, he felt compassion and took action to save several members of the family. Wang Duo was one of them.

Mingjun took Mingjia into the Shiqu Building and saw several scholar-looking people inside selecting books. A shopkeeper who looked to be only in his mid-twenties was standing at the counter, writing something.

Mingjun turned to look at Mingjia. Mingjun only knew that the shopkeeper of Jingcheng Shiqulou was named Wang Duo, but he didn't know his age or appearance. However, he subconsciously thought he was of a similar age to Shopkeeper Li or Chi Hai.

Mingjia didn't know Wang Duo's specific age, so she shook her head gently, indicating that she wasn't sure either.

Seeing his sister shaking her head, Mingjun turned around and took off the jade pendant from his waist. After taking a few steps forward and placing the jade pendant on the counter, Mingjun said, "Shopkeeper, is there an independent tea room on the third floor?"

Wang Duo was registering some new books when he suddenly heard the voice of a young man. Wang Duo quickly looked up and saw some thin young men standing in front of his counter.

There is indeed a tea room on the third floor of Shiqu Building, but the third floor is never open, so few people know about it. Wang Duo was wondering when he suddenly saw the young master opposite raising the jade pendant in his hand.

Wang Duo raised his hand to take the jade pendant and examined it carefully for a while, then suddenly held the jade pendant in his palm with his backhand. He turned around and walked out of the counter, walked quickly to Ming Jun, bowed and asked. "My surname is Xiao?"

Mingjun smiled and supported shopkeeper Wang and continued to bow, "I am Xiao Mingjun!" After saying that, Mingjun reached out and took his jade pendant and hung it back on his waist.

Shopkeeper Wang had already stood up, and his eyes had already turned back and forth between Mingjun and Mingjia.

Ming Jun packed himself up, looked up at Wang Duo, and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, can you take us to the third floor for a chat?"

Wang Duo quickly turned aside and led the way upstairs.

There was a young man on the first floor who saw everything and silently lowered his head and continued to select the books in his hand.

Shopkeeper Wang led people all the way to the tea room on the third floor. Mingjia looked over and found that Jingcheng Shiqu Building was completely decorated according to Qu County Shiqu's drawings. It seemed that it was also the handiwork of his master.

The tea room has never been used, but it looks very clean. I think someone cleans it from time to time.

After Mingjun and Mingjia were seated, shopkeeper Wang wanted to turn around and go out to ask someone to boil water for tea. But he saw a woman dressed as a mother-in-law already walking in with a small tea stove in the tea stove room next door.

Mrs. Yan knocked on the door and came in with a small tea stove. As she walked, she said, "I saw that the layout of the Shiqu Building looked familiar, so I went next door with the idea of ​​giving it a try. I didn't expect it to be a tea stove room."

Mrs. Yan put the things aside and shook her fan gently, slowly boiling water and making tea, trying not to disturb the chat between Mingjun and shopkeeper Wang.

Ming Jun was chatting with Shopkeeper Wang about the recent business of Zhiqulou and the places where students in the capital often go.

Mingjia just sat aside and listened quietly. She was not in a hurry to say anything. She should appear in Zhiqulou frequently in the future.

Seeing that her brother and shopkeeper Wang were almost done talking, Ming Jia suddenly said, "Why haven't you seen Mr. Accountant? Have you asked for leave?"

As soon as Ming Jia said these words, Shopkeeper Wang's expression changed instantly, and then Shopkeeper Wang showed a standard smile and said: "Mr. Accountant's child is a little unwell, so I'm taking leave today."

Mingjun and Mingjia saw the changes in shopkeeper Wang's expression. Mingjun looked at his sister Mingjia and asked with his eyes whether Mingjia should handle it by himself or leave it to him.

Mingjia understood her brother's eyes and said directly, "Brother, I remember there are a few scholars downstairs chatting while reading. Do you want to go down and chat with them?"

After saying that, Mingjia turned to look at Wang Duo again, "Shopkeeper Wang, can you take me to the accountant's room to have a look? He's on leave, so he won't take all the account books home!"
