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

Early in the morning, the street outside the inn was noisy with gongs and drums. Ming Jia and Ming Jun lay bored on the second floor window of the inn and looked at the place where the sound came from. It seemed like a wealthy family in the city was having a wedding.

At noon, Mingjia was having lunch in the lobby accompanied by Mrs. Shui. Suddenly, two tables of guests started to quarrel. There was even a tendency to take action, so Mrs. Shui quickly protected Mingjia and left.

When Mrs. Shui returned to the courtyard and saw Cheng Si and the others at the door, she told them about the hall. She asked someone to send someone to inquire. Cheng Si knew that Mrs. Shui came from the Chengen Palace and she had her own ideas about many things.

Cheng Si winked at Thirteen, and Thirteen followed the order and went out. Shisan came back soon, and Mingjia happened to be asking Mrs. Shui for some embroidery lessons, so they listened to the whole story together.

It turned out that the two parties who were quarreling did not know each other. They just started to quarrel because they were talking about a lively wedding in the city today. The two parties had a disagreement at the next table.

This wedding is also the hottest topic in Jinzhou city recently. A scholar named Chen Shaoang passed the examination last year and passed the Asian examination this year, and has been assigned.

Today was the day when he was going to marry the beloved daughter of Zhou Demao, a wealthy man in the city. She was originally considered to be a talented man and a beautiful woman. However, good things are always envied by others. Scholars were jealous that Chen Shao'ang could be an official and marry the daughter of a wealthy family. It is said that the dowry alone cost more than 30 yuan.

The businessman was jealous that Zhou Demao could have such a son-in-law. Since ancient times, it was difficult for a business girl to marry a scholar, especially for someone like Chen Shao'ang who had been sent to the government.

At noon, among the two tables of guests, one storyteller actually asked to marry a merchant girl for money, which was unfavorable to the scholar. The other party said that the wealthy family in Zhou Dynasty had good luck and bet on Zhongbao that his business would expand in the future.

I don’t know how we chatted in the middle, but the conversation started to change.

Later, one side said that the scholar kept his promise and wrote the marriage certificate privately before taking the Asian examination or being sent to the official position. He did not regret the marriage even after he became rich. The other side said that the rich family beat the mandarin ducks before they disliked the poor and loved the rich.

Finally, people at the two tables started fighting.

Ming Jia was confused when she heard this. Mrs. Shui had seen too many plans to make a fuss about a woman's marriage, so she had some guesses in her mind and didn't want to taint the young lady's ears. I just want Thirteen to go down.

"Uncle Thirteen, please make another hard trip to find out about Chen Shao'ang's knowledge, character, and where he is assigned as an official." Suddenly Mingjia called out to Thirteen, who nodded and went out.

Mingjia couldn't understand many things. She had been worried that Xie Jin would continue to take revenge on her father. Her father didn't know anyone in the court and was really isolated and helpless. If Chen Shao'ang had good character and knowledge, it would be suitable for him to get in touch with him.

At this moment, Mingjia completely regarded Li Hansheng as the plot in the original book, and subconsciously felt that the plots he had gone through were no longer connected. I forgot that Li Hansheng sent Cheng Si and others.

In the afternoon, Thirteen came back. I brought back a lot of information about Chen Shao'ang, a 19-year-old very talented young man. Chen Shao'ang was admitted to the top 10 of Jinzhou's imperial examinations based on his true ability. The teachers in the academy were very optimistic about him and thought he could pass the Chunwei examination. Even Chen Shao'ang, who was on the list in the capital, also had a chance to compete.

Mingjia looked at several articles brought back by Thirteen. Recently, she had taken a lot of Xie Boyuan's classes with her brother, and she could basically understand the articles. The article is meaningful and has the spirit of a young man, but it also leaves room for error.

Ming Jia likes this scholar Chen Shao'ang very much, especially when he heard that she was assigned to Ningzhou, which is adjacent to Chuanzhou where his father works. It is even more important to get to know each other. They are both poor prefectures and counties on the border. Maybe they can cooperate. .

"Uncle Thirteen, dad can arrive in Jinzhou City tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest!" Mingjia raised his head from the article and looked at Thirteen. Thirteen estimated the time in his mind: "I should be able to enter the city in time for the city gate to be locked tomorrow."

Mingjia was a little hesitant to prepare a gift for Chen Shaoang for his father, as it would be too hasty. Suddenly Mingjia saw Mrs. Shui. After hearing the young lady's confusion, Mrs. Shui said calmly: "He is on the same level as the master. The master has not disclosed his identity at the moment. Giving gifts rashly may make people think too much." , causing misunderstanding.”

Seeing that the young lady was listening attentively, Mrs. Shui patiently told Ming Jia. Officials usually write greetings to each other first, or have letters of introduction, and then come to the door rashly. Either they don't take the other party seriously, or they have something to ask for, so they must bring heavy gifts.

Mingjia suddenly realized that she was very grateful to Mrs. Shui for telling her this. She did not understand this knowledge or even common sense.

But Mrs. Shui was shocked in her heart. Girls from big aristocratic families have been trained since childhood to deal with people, communicate with others, and deal with complex in-law relationships. These girls have watched their mothers handle it since they were young, and they will also be taught by their teachers. They first see their abilities at the age of 8 or 9.

This young lady of mine is only 4 years old now, but she can actually think of making capable colleagues for the master. If Mr. Dong was afraid, he would never think of it. . . Mrs. Shui has been following my wife for so long, and she has already seen through her. If the young lady is taught by someone, she will definitely be good in the future.

Mingjia didn't know what Mrs. Shui was thinking, and she would blush if she knew. So when she is 30 years old, can she think about things better than children of 8 or 9 years old?

After dinner, Mrs. Dong was already coaxing Mingjia to sleep. Suddenly, the sound of gongs was heard in the distance, accompanied by shouts of "Water is gone" and "Water is gone". Mingjia suddenly got up, opened the window and looked over.

Mingjia asked Grandma Shui to call Cheng Silai. Cheng Si came over quickly and stood on the porch waiting for Mingjia. Mingjia comforted Mr. Dong first, then put her clothes back on and came out to see Cheng Si.

"I think the direction of the water should be Zhou Demao's house where the wedding is being held today. Could you please Uncle Cheng to run over and see if Chen Shao'ang has escaped." Cheng Si turned and left. Suddenly, I heard the young lady's voice again: "It's windy today. The fire may grow violently due to the wind. Uncle Cheng, go over and pay attention to safety."

Cheng Si turned around and saw the young lady standing in the corridor. She was so small and was very moved. It's just that the young lady seems to have misunderstood his abilities.

Ming Jia was held in Mrs. Shui's arms, still wrapped in Dong's cloak. Mrs. Shui advised the young lady to go to bed, and she could just wait here for Cheng Si to come back. Mingjia couldn't sleep, she had to confirm something.

Ming Jia was afraid that a young talent would be buried in the flames, and she didn't want to miss the colleagues her father could make friends with. In fact, what she was more afraid of was whether the fire was not an accident, but whether Chen Shao'ang, a scholar from a poor family, was also assassinated.

Unexpectedly, Ming Jia did not understand the overt and covert struggles between the imperial power and the aristocratic families when she was traveling through the book. Ming Jia, who remembered most of the plot of the novel, naturally knew that his father was a chess piece, and 10 chess pieces were selected from each state last autumn.

The chess pieces have no qualifications to resist. If the father does not take the Asian test, he will not comply with the emperor's wishes and occupy a place for an official from a poor family. From now on, no matter how knowledgeable my father is, he will never be able to become a Jinshi.

Finally, Mingjia began to doze off. Cheng Si came back and brought back a man wearing a red wedding robe and soaked to the skin.
