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

On the way Mingjun and Mingjia went home, Aman held a lantern in front of them, and Mrs. Yan followed behind.

"Brother, after the county examination is over, will you go to the village school to teach for a few days?" Mingjia asked his brother.

"Well! Tomorrow I will ask Aman to go to the village school first and get back some students' homework. Please help me take a look when you have nothing to do!" Mingjun began to arrange things for Mingjia.

Mingjia frowned a little, she... okay! She does have time! "Okay! Let me take a look!"

Early the next morning, Mingjia woke up early without saying anything about her mother-in-law calling. She specially asked Mrs. Yan to change into dark clothes, had a simple breakfast with her brother, and then went out into the mountains.

Today, Mingjun, Mingjia and all the guards went up the mountain.

The Thirteenth and Fourteenth followed the Duke of Guo and searched for it in Phoenix Mountain for a long time, but in the end it was the Duke of Guo who found the cemetery on his own. The guards from that group of guards camp had all gone to the mountain to worship.

Later, Cheng Wen and Cheng Wu, the guards of the personal guard camp, only heard about this incident, but they did not have the opportunity to come to Phoenix Mountain to worship. Today I heard that the two young masters of the Xiao family were coming to pay homage to the Duke's wife, so naturally they all wanted to follow.

There were guards in front of them leading the way, and Mingjun held his sister's arm, fearing that Mingjia would fall. There were guards behind with some items for worship.

Before Li Hansheng returned to Beijing, he left someone in Qingyun County and would come to repair it every once in a while, so there were not many weeds in the cemetery of the Duke's wife.

Thirteen and Fourteen were busy arranging the sacrifices, while Cheng Wen and others used the tools they brought to clear away some of the surrounding weeds and branches.

Mingjun and Mingjia both performed junior salutes, and the six guards knelt down to worship directly. Ming Jia discovered that Mrs. Yan performed a court etiquette on the tomb of the Duke's wife.

Ming Jun and Ming Jia didn't know much about the Duke's wife, and naturally they couldn't talk about their true feelings. However, when burning the yellow paper, Ming Jia still talked about some of Li Hansheng's achievements in recent years.

Mrs. Yan squatted aside and looked at her young lady. She really didn't expect that Mingjia had such a side. Mrs. Yan really didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to burn incense in front of Mrs. Li Guogong's grave in this life.

On the way back, everyone was silent, which somewhat affected their mood. After returning home, Mingjun went to the study to study. Only then did Mingjia have time to take Mrs. Yan to sort out the luggage and things she had brought back.

Mingjia observed Mrs. Yan while packing things. She wanted to ask Mrs. Yan if she knew Ning Shihui's wife or even Li Hansheng's wife.

Mrs. Yan also noticed the young lady looking at her, but Mrs. Yan continued to pack her things calmly. Suddenly, there was a "clang" sound, and the door to the study room was suddenly opened by Ming Jun.

Mingjia quickly put down the things in his hands and walked out of the back room. He raised his voice as he walked quickly, "Brother, what's wrong?"

At the same time, several guards living in the east and west wings also came out quickly. Mingjun did not expect that the sound of the study door would be so loud.

"Jiajia, we forgot the letter from our parents!" Mingjun looked at Mingjia who was running out and said, waving his hand to signal Mingjia not to run away.

Mingjia paused and was stunned at the moment, right! Didn't your parents say they would send a letter to the village chief's house? What about the letter?

Mingjun and Mingjia looked at each other for a few seconds. Mingjia looked at Thirteen first and said, "Uncle Thirteen, go to the village chief's house. Help get all my father's letters!"

Thirteen clasped his fists and took the order and went out. Mingjun didn't go back to the study to study anymore. He was not in the mood to study now.

The more Mingjia thought about it, the more something was wrong. When his father sent a letter to the village chief's house, he would clearly write on the envelope that it was for his brother and sister. My brother went to the village chief’s house twice. There was no way the village chief could withhold the letter and not give it to his brother!

Mingjun naturally thought of this, and neither of them said anything, just sitting in the yard waiting for Thirteen to come back.

Thirteen came back soon, "Master Mingjun, the village chief said that the county clerk who is responsible for delivering letters will deliver letters to the village every one month or one and a half months. The last letter sent did not contain a letter from an adult. "

After listening to the village chief’s words relayed by Thirteen, this explanation feels very reasonable! But Mingjun always felt something was wrong, so he turned around and saw his younger sister Mingjia, who was also frowning.

The brother and sister looked at each other and seemed to feel something was wrong. Mingjun looked at the sky. Before lunch, Mingjun suddenly called Chengwen, "Brother Chengwen! You ride to the county government office and ask about delivering letters to the villages!"

Mingjia also spoke up and said to Chengwu, "Brother Chengwu, go change into simpler clothes and go to the surrounding villages to ask if letters from other villages are also delivered to the village by the yamen?"

Chengwen and Chengwu both took the order and went out. Mingjun thought about it and said to Mingjia, "Jiajia, you pack your things at home! I'd better go to the village chief's house by myself and ask when the letter started to be sent. Sent by the Yamen!"

Mingjia nodded. If his brother didn't check it out, he might not be in the mood to study. Mingjun took Shisan to the village chief's house again. Mingjia sat in the yard for a while before returning to the back room to continue packing things.

My family has been in Qu County for so many years. Ordinary letters in Qu County have couriers, and there is no need for yamen at all, unless it is an official document or edict from the court or the state city, which requires yamen to go to the villages to publicize it.

The number of government officials in each county is limited. If they are still responsible for delivering letters, then when the county magistrate wants to hire people, he will probably be a bare-bones commander.

Mingjia guessed that his father's usual letters to the village chief would only be simple greetings and would not mention anything important. The letter home to my brother this time should contain at most some concern.

Mingjia felt numb all over when she thought that every letter her father wrote back to Tianjia Village to the village chief and even to Sun Juan over the years might have been intercepted, opened and read.

Moreover, apart from Xie Jin, Mingjia really couldn't think of anyone else who would do this.

Mingjia was thinking about the problem while packing things with Mrs. Yan. Soon Mingjun came back from the village chief's house, and Mingjia heard the noise and went out to greet him.

Mingjun and Mingjia went to the study together, and Mingjun told Mingjia what the village chief had said. Beginning in the eighth year of Kaiyuan, a man wearing the clothes of a county official came to deliver a letter and told the village chief that the county magistrate was solely responsible for taking care of Tianjia Village.

The eighth year of Kaiyuan! That's where Mr. Xie just arrived in Qu County!

What Ming Jia thought of, Ming Jun also guessed. Mingjia suddenly thought of something and quickly asked his brother: "Brother, after we returned to the village, did you write a letter to the master?"

Ming Jun shook his head. He had been too busy these days and hadn't had time to write to his master yet. Mingjia thought for a moment and said, "We'd better not let letters with Master's handwriting appear in Qingyun County!"

In other words, don't let Xie Jin know that besides Mr. Xie, Xie Boyuan is also in Qu County, Chuanzhou.
