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

After Xu Honglei left in a hurry that day, he came to pick up Mingjun to go to the racecourse as usual the next day, but Mingjia clearly felt the changes in Xu Honglei.

Xu Honglei seemed to like chatting with her. As long as it was not a special arrangement, Xu Honglei would invite Ming Jia to have tea with her.

Of course it's because my brother Mingjun likes to go to regular teahouses and watch some scholars debate and talk about poetry. At this time, Xu Honglei can chat with Mingjia.

Mingjia had originally made up her mind to stay with her brother as much as possible when she was in the capital. She didn't want her brother to come home late during the Dragon Boat Festival again.

Therefore, in the past few days, the three of them either went to the tea house to listen to the debate, or stayed together in the Shiqu Building.

Mingjun was on the first or second floor, and Mingjia was already arranging for Wang Duo to deal with it and directly convert the private room on the second floor of Shiqu Building into a tea room.

Originally, many scholars visited Shiqu Building, and they all knew that the second floor was not open to the public. But recently, everyone has come to know that there is a tea room on the second floor, but not everyone can book it.

Mingjia directly changed the membership system for borrowing question books on the second floor of Quxian Shiqu Building into a tea room reservation system, which can be regarded as adding a lot of income to the Shiqu Building in Beijing.

When Ming Jun was in Zhiqu Building, Xu Honglei would go directly to the third floor, saying that he wanted to learn how to read account books with Ming Jia, and also said that he wanted Ming Jia to teach him abacus.

Finally, Mingjia, who was unbearably annoyed, called the yellow accountant directly.

At present, the accounts of Zhiqulou are still very simple. During the time when Huang Accountant came, they have been sorted out. It's not too busy now, so I just want to give Xu Honglei some advice.

On this day, Mingjun came to Mingjia and said, "Jiajia, it's almost time for us to leave for Qingzhou. If something happens to you, you'd better hurry up!"

Mingjia knew that his brother was reminding him of the deal with his master, but Mingjia learned from Uncle Li and the people under his master recently. Judging from the analysis of the news that came back, Ming Jia felt that it would be difficult for this Xie family girl to enter the East Palace!

However, I am afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince’s attitude towards women is that any woman who has a relationship with me is my woman. Finally, for his many years of providing money to the prince, he will be rewarded with a title.

Mingjia was not sure what the prince was thinking, but she really had no chance to test it.

Of course, Ming Jia felt that if the Xie family girls really entered the East Palace, the prince's backyard would probably be quite lively.

Recently, Mingjia has been familiar with some of the marketing methods used by Miss Xie to open a shop, so it is not difficult to speculate that this Miss Xie is also a master of calculating people's hearts.

Mingjia was still thinking about things when she heard her brother Mingjun continue.

"I have met a lot of scholars recently. They invited me to attend a poetry meeting the day after tomorrow. It is said that it is a separate courtyard used by a big family to store books. They spent a lot of effort to borrow it."

Mingjia heard her brother's yearning, and her brother's heart moved when he heard the word "collecting books." Ming Jia was actually very moved after hearing what her brother said, "Okay! Let's talk to Brother Xu tomorrow and we'll go together then!"

Soon the agreed day came. Ming Jun and Ming Jia specially changed into new clothes. When Xu Honglei arrived, the three of them took a carriage and went to the address on the post.

Mingjia didn't know much about Beijing and hadn't read the post. Xu Honglei was too lazy to read the post before, so he didn't know the address. After the three of them got on the carriage, Xu Honglei remembered to ask about the location of the poetry meeting.

When Xu Honglei heard that the other courtyard where the books were collected was in Pingkangfang in Nancheng, he couldn't help but frown. It's not that he looks down on the people in Nancheng, but he always feels like he has heard of this place somewhere.

Xu Honglei has always boasted that he has a good memory, but recently he often encounters things that he has been thinking about for a long time and cannot remember, which makes Xu Honglei feel very frustrated.

Until the carriage stopped, the coachman said cautiously into the carriage, "Master, we have arrived at Pingkangfang, but the alley here is too narrow, and we can't get in any further."

Upon hearing this, Xu Honglei opened the carriage curtain and looked at the streets and houses on both sides. I couldn't help but sigh, "Alas!" Finally, he looked back at Mingjun and Mingjia, and said apologetically: "It seems that we have to go down and walk in."

Mingjun and Mingjia, who were always very casual about these matters, jumped off the carriage and walked to Pingkangfang together. Xu Honglei didn't know much about the market here, but he could tell some basic information.

The three people chatted and laughed and walked towards the location on the post.

Soon, we arrived at the address on the post, and it looked like a nice big house from the outside. You must know that Nancheng has always been a place where poor people live, so this house is really a bit out of the ordinary.

Mingjun held the post in his hand and was about to go in. Suddenly he realized that no one seemed to be following him. Turning around, Xu Honglei and Ming Jia were standing at the door of the house, looking at it.

Mingjun also stopped and waited for Xu Honglei and his sister. Xu Honglei specially brought a folding fan today in order to make himself look more gregarious when attending the poetry meeting.

At this moment, Xu Honglei was standing there, tapping his palms gently with a folding fan. He felt that he had heard of this house. Xu Honglei felt that he would not be able to live a peaceful day without remembering where he had heard it.

Suddenly, Xu Honglei slapped his palms with the folding fan faster, and he remembered. "I remembered that this is the other courtyard where the Xie family collects books. Only the Xie family can use them and never lend them out."

Xu Honglei finally remembered about this house. It's really about this house, it's too long ago. When Daliang first established its dynasty, many people had the idea of ​​building this house. It is said that even Emperor Liang had considered it.

However, the Xie family has set a rule that only their own descendants are allowed to use it, and no lending or trading is allowed. Because, with Taifu Xie here, the Xie family could be considered to have saved the house.

Xu Honglei turned to look at Mingjun, "Among your friends are the Xie family!"

Ming Jun shook his head. He knew that his master came from the Xie family, and his father had some connections with Xie Jin, so when he arrived in the capital, he was very wary of the surname Xie.

Xu Honglei didn't know this, but he thought it was a good opportunity to visit the Xie Family Villa. Mingjun and Xu Honglei were about to go inside, but Mingjia suddenly called out to Mingjun.

"Brother, who invited you here! Or who proposed the poetry meeting?" Mingjia asked. Mingjia thought for a while and said, "The scholar Liu Jue I met before!"

Ming Jia suddenly remembered the information about the Xie family that Uncle Li had given her. Ms. Liu, the mother of Miss Xie, also had a son named Xie Jue!

Mingjia raised her eyes and looked at the house because the three of them had been standing at the door for too long. The boys and guards at the door were staring at them.

"Brother Xu, brother, let's leave here first!" Mingjia suggested leaving first, then turned around and walked back to the original route.
