Ming Jia looked at Li Hansheng's annoyed look, and suddenly her eyes felt sore. Li Hansheng was no longer young. He was in his mid-forties, and when he returned from a business trip to Xishan Camp, he rushed to Qingyun County overnight without resting.

Mingjia didn't want to show too many emotions, so she quickly turned back to Granny Yan and said, "Grandma Yan, let's eat some simple meals for noon, boil more hot water, and let Uncle Li eat something quickly, wash up and have a rest."

Mingjia turned to Li Hansheng and said, "My brother's room has been unoccupied in the past few days. Uncle Li, please take a rest in my brother's room first!"

Li Hansheng originally went to the Xishan Camp to watch the two armies change defenses. When he returned to the Duke's Mansion and saw the news, he went directly to the palace to ask for leave from Emperor Liang. I went home and slept for a night, and early the next morning I took the people straight to Qingyun County, Qingzhou.

At this moment, Li Hansheng could still hold on but he was still erect. Mingjia saw that he was tired, and Li Hansheng felt that he was indeed very tired.

Shi Shi and Cheng Wen also went into the kitchen to help Mrs. Yan with her work. Soon Li Hansheng ate a bowl of hot noodle soup and washed briefly before going to rest.

Sitting in the courtyard listening to the snoring of the Duke, Shi Shi also felt at ease. Thirteen is not here, and Fourteen is under a lot of pressure. Now that the Duke is here, Fourteen feels like he has found his backbone.

The arrival of Li Hansheng made everyone feel different. Mingjia thought for a while and said to Granny Yan, "Grandma Yan, please open the door. Since Uncle Li is here, the Xiao family does not have to continue to close the door to thank guests."

Mrs. Yan went out in response and ordered the guards to open the door. Mrs. Yan came back soon, walked to the Ming family and asked in a low voice, "Miss, I just went to check. We just bought yellow paper and incense candles for worship last time..."

Mingjia instantly understood what Granny Yan meant and quickly asked, "Is it enough?"

Mrs. Yan nodded. The original plan was that after Master Mingjun was born a child, he would go to worship once more before leaving Tianjia Village, so she was very well prepared.

Then Mingjia felt relieved, Granny Yan was very reliable in her work.

Li Hansheng slept straight into the evening. The sun was almost setting, and Li Hansheng woke up slowly.

After waking up, Li Hansheng was able to look at this simple, even simple bedroom. Li Hansheng frowned a little, recalling the courtyard wall and fence just now, Li Hansheng felt that the Xiao family should renovate it.

The sound of Li Hansheng walking around the house was heard by Fourteen in the yard. Fourteen gently knocked on the door a few times and asked if the Duke was awake and wanted to eat.

Li Hansheng opened the door and walked out, and Mingjia happened to be in the yard. "Jiajia, is it time for your old house to be renovated?"

Mingjia could hear the disgust in Li Hansheng's tone, and Mingjia couldn't help but want to complain about Li Hansheng. The conditions in the thatched cottage where your dignified prince lives are far worse than this!

However, Mingjia still told Li Hansheng her thoughts about the old house seriously.

"I think either my brother's son will come back to take the imperial examination in the future, or my father will come back to take care of his old age. In short, no one will come back to live in the old house in a short time, so I'm considering whether to renovate it in a few years."

Li Hansheng thought about the population of the Xiao family and felt that Mingjia had considered it very comprehensively and that this matter was indeed not urgent. The restored house still needs someone to take care of it, which is somewhat unnecessary for the Xiao family now.

All right! Mingjia deliberately concealed the news that her mother Dong was pregnant again. In fact, even if Dong was pregnant with a boy, it would still be more than ten years before he could take the imperial examination in his hometown.

Li Hansheng and Mingjia had dinner together. Considering Li Hansheng's situation, dinner was prepared long ago. At this moment, there is still some afterglow in the sky, and there is still a while before the summer sky becomes dark.

Li Hansheng, who had slept all day, was very energetic now, so Li Hansheng decided to take a look at his former thatched cottage. Mingjia also wanted to go out for a walk, so they went out together. The two walked slowly and chatted.

Li Hansheng appeared in the village again and was recognized by many villagers. Everyone was surprised that the former Li Orion had changed so much, dressed so elegantly, and his demeanor was really intimidating.

Li Hansheng smiled and greeted the villagers, and he still remembered the names of many villagers. The villagers have always known that Li Orion and Xiao Qingshan have a good relationship, but they did not expect that they have always been in contact.

Because the Xiao family has always closed its doors to thank guests, and everyone knows that only Mingjia, a little girl, is at home now. Even if many villagers were tempted to curry favor, they gave up temporarily.

At this moment, seeing the changes in Li Hansheng, they all became interested again. Ming Jia could see it clearly and couldn't help but curl her lips. Li Hansheng's demeanor and dress had nothing to do with her father!

Li Hansheng could clearly see the changes in the villagers' eyes, but he didn't care about these little thoughts. These little ideas are too ordinary compared to those in the capital. It depends on which one of them dares to really ask for help in front of him.

Li Hansheng found that his thatched cottage was even more dilapidated, and it was obvious that someone had only cleaned up and repaired it briefly. Fourteen told Li Hansheng that Uncle Li and others lived here before. Li Hansheng nodded and walked in.

Li Hansheng walked slowly in the yard. Ming Jia, Mrs. Yan and others were a few steps behind, following Li Hansheng from a distance.

Li Hansheng stayed in the thatched cottage for a long time, and Mingjia joked: "If Uncle Li dislikes my Xiao family's brokenness, will he go back to live in your thatched cottage today?"

Li Hansheng laughed loudly and reached out to touch Ming Jia's little head, "Go! Go! Go home!"

On the way back, Mingjia offered to go up the mountain together to worship the Duke's wife early tomorrow morning. Li Hansheng pondered for a moment, "Okay! Maybe I haven't seen her for a long time!"

Early on the next morning, Li Hansheng and Ming Jia went up to Phoenix Mountain together, and their servants only brought Mrs. Yan and Shi Shi with them.

Li Hansheng came to his wife's tombstone and found that there were obvious signs of worship. The weeds around it looked like they had only been cleared recently. He knew that Ming Jun and Ming Jia had come to pay their respects.

Ming Jia simply lit the incense this time, then took Granny Yan around for a while, leaving Li Hansheng alone here for a while.

Li Hansheng was full of apologies to his wife, and it took many years before he came back to worship her again. Li Hansheng kept talking to his wife and promised repeatedly that when he gets old in the future, he will definitely return to Phoenix Mountain to stay with him forever.

Li Hansheng didn't know if his wife was still waiting for him, let alone whether his wife had ever blamed him.

If Ming Jia knew what Li Hansheng was thinking, she would probably give Li Hansheng a "Haha!" smile. He didn't take good care of his wife when he was young, and when he was middle-aged, he used his deceased wife for his career. Now he thinks about coming back when he gets old.
