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

Although Xu Honglei usually doesn't pay much attention to his studies, he is good at observing words and expressions to detect potential dangers. This is an essential skill for being a good dandy in the capital.

Xu Honglei was the first to realize something was wrong, so he pulled Ming Jun up and was about to leave. However, they were listening to the debate on the third floor at the time. At this time, it was too conspicuous to rush downstairs to check out and leave.

After Xu Honglei realized what he was doing, he pulled Ming Jun upstairs. He went straight to the fourth floor and found an unoccupied private room to hide.

Mingjun didn't realize something had happened until everyone else sat down in the private room on the fourth floor and listened to the noise downstairs. In the end, Jing Zhaoyin's government officials were alerted, and many people watching on the first and second floors were invited back by Jing Zhaoyin's people.

When Ming Jun said these things, his tone was sad and unavoidable, and he was a little scared.

Li Hansheng had a lot of things on his mind at the moment. He rarely went to court, but he often went to the palace. Therefore, Li Hansheng knew more about the emperor's thoughts, such as the transfer of some officials.

"Is this another leak?" Li Hansheng guessed silently in his mind and couldn't help but frown. Shen Zhi is really becoming more and more useless. There are so many rats in the palace that he can never catch them all.

Ming Jia asked her brother Ming Jun, "Brother, someone was injured in the fight? Is it serious?"

Mingjun turned to look at his sister. He didn't say anything, but his sister actually guessed it. "Yes!" Ming Jun nodded, "A young master was pushed down and his cheek was cut by pieces of a broken teacup..."

Broken appearance! Then this life will be ruined! In ancient times, people with disabilities or facial imperfections had no chance to take the imperial examination. I don’t know whose son he is!

Mingjia was a little worried about her brother and asked, "Didn't those government officials go to the fourth floor to invite people back?"

Ming Jun shook his head first, then nodded, and said, "I sent someone up to ask questions again. It was not convenient for Xu Honglei to show up. It happened that the owner of the private room came back and sent the government servant away."

Ming Jun thought for a while and explained, "We have been in the private room on the fourth floor. No one came downstairs until no one left." For this kind of thing, everyone hopes to hide far away. Xu Honglei can save a lot of trouble by not showing up. .

Li Hansheng felt relieved knowing that Mingjun was not injured or bullied. Originally, they wanted to leave Mingjun and Mingjia to rest in the Duke's Mansion, but Mingjun and Mingjia insisted on going back to Yanzhai.

"Brother, will you gain anything from today's poem?" On the way back, Ming Jia saw that her brother was still frowning, so she wanted to find a topic to distract him.

When it comes to this topic, Mingjun is still very interested. "In the morning, we only discussed poems and there were occasional good lines, but they were not particularly amazing."

As Mingjun spoke and recalled, his tone contained regret and some slight disappointment.

"In the afternoon, when the debate just started, I felt very excited. Because everyone's views were correct, and their quotations from classics were sharp and thought-provoking."

Obviously Mingjun preferred the debate in the afternoon, of course, if nothing happened after that.

Mingjia comforted her brother, "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Many talented people and well-educated scholars are probably celebrating the festival at home. When my brother returns from his hometown and passes through the capital, he can participate again."

Seeing that his sister was beginning to comfort him, Ming Jun quickly smiled and nodded and said, "Yeah! That's exactly what I meant. I also made an appointment with Brother Xu. When I come to the capital again, I will definitely participate in another poetry meeting."

After Mingjun and Mingjia returned to Yanzhai, the brother and sister soon separated. Mingjun and Mingjia were both very tired this day, both physically and mentally overloaded.

Mingjia's last thought while lying on the bed was: I must find a chance to meet Uncle Li tomorrow. Afterwards, Mingjia fell asleep directly.

The next day, Mingjia asked Mrs. Yan early in the morning whether Uncle Li and others had been back recently. "Miss, they come back every day, but they all leave early and come back late!"

Ming Jia nodded and told Mrs. Yan: "Today, if you meet Uncle Li and the others, please tell me that I need to see them. You can wait for me at home or go to Shiqu Building to find me."

Mingjun and Mingjia had breakfast together. Mingjia was more concerned about his brother's arrangements for today. If possible, Mingjia would consider whether to follow his brother.

"I went to Shiqu Building with you today. The scholar who helped me and Brother Xu in the library yesterday asked Brother Xu and me to go shopping in the bookstore today. I made an appointment directly at Shiqu Building!"

Mingjun said, and winked at Mingjia, as if "the good stuff doesn't go to outsiders." If we have money, we should make it ourselves.

Mingjia saw that her brother was interested in joking with her, and knew that her brother had recovered from yesterday's incident. In fact, the most frightening thing about yesterday's incident was not the calculation itself, but the young master who was sacrificed in the calculation's heart.

To be chosen and used in this calculation, there must be some background and some background. On the contrary, he is a child from a poor family. Let alone his disfigurement, it doesn't matter if he loses his life.

Ming Jun secretly took a look at the injured young master on the fourth floor. He was well-dressed and had many accessories, which showed that his family background was not weak. Mingjun was originally worried about his own safety and whether he would be used as a part of the scheme.

Mingjun couldn't help but think about his family background. His father was a provincial magistrate in a border state and held an official position of 6th grade. According to the management of local officials being downgraded one level from those in the capital, arriving in the capital is equivalent to moving from the sixth rank.

Mingjun was no longer afraid when he thought of this. He felt that he was not qualified to be taken advantage of.

Mingjia didn't know his brother's mental journey. If he knew, he would probably say that his brother didn't think carefully. From my father's point of view, they really have no use value.

However, if you look at it from the perspective of master Xie Boyuan, your brother really has some weight.

When Mingjun and Mingjia went out, they happened to encounter Xu Honglei's carriage approaching, and the two carriages rushed towards Shiqu Building one after the other.

Since he was in Zhiqu Building, Mingjia felt a lot more relieved. Mingjia asked Wang Duo to send someone to clear out a single room on the second floor for his brother to entertain guests, and then he went up to the third floor.

Ming Jun's new friend, whose surname is Xu, is a student at Jingcheng Academy. He is still a child and will take the scholar examination this year. When Xu Tongsheng was born, he brought two friends with him, both of whom he often studied with.

Mingjun was drinking tea and chatting with several new scholars on the second floor. Although Mingjun was the youngest, he read a lot of books, and the books he read were also very miscellaneous. He could chat about anything.

Seeing a group of scholars chatting animatedly, Xu Honglei felt bored and simply walked out of the room. Xu Honglei remembered Mingjia saying that she was in the room upstairs and he could find her if anything happened.

Xu Honglei thought for a while, then walked upstairs.
