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

Mingjia got used to the rocking of the boat and couldn't sit still in the room. The entire ship, including the cargo section at the bottom, has a total of four levels. The third and fourth floors are more luxurious independent rooms, which need to be booked in advance.

The room Uncle Li booked for Mingjia and the others was on the third floor. Of course, Mingjia was an official young master after all, so it was okay to book the fourth floor. However, Uncle Li felt that it would be better for him and his group to keep a low profile.

Mingjia felt that a room on the third floor would be good, and Mrs. Yan carefully replaced the bedding and even the bedside in the room with her own, so Mingjia felt that living like this would be good.

There is a dining area on the second floor of the passenger ship, and people are telling stories and singing songs every day. When Mingjia had nothing to do, she brought Mrs. Yan and Shi Shi over for a cup of tea. Mrs. Yan only bought hot water every time and brought her own tea sets and tea leaves.

Of course, when she leaves at the end, Mrs. Yan will also give a little more reward so that the store can make a profit.

Mingjia would also go to the deck to watch others fishing. Fourteen saw that his lady seemed to like fishing, so she finally got Mingjia a pair of fishing rods.

Ming Jia...Actually, she just likes to watch! In the end, Cheng Zhi and Cheng De took the fishing rods for fishing, and Ming Jia had fish contributed by them in every meal.

Mingjia also tried reading on the boat, but she started to get seasick when she picked up the book. As a result, Mingjia completely let herself go. There were also a few scholars on the boat who had returned to their hometowns to take the imperial examination. Mingjia followed them and listened to whatever they were talking about.

The further south the ship went, the more scholars came aboard every time it docked, and the topics they talked about became more diverse. Ming Jia wrote everything down one by one, planning to write it all down and send it to his brother after getting off the boat.

On the fifth day on the boat, Mingjia was so bored that she took Mrs. Yan on the boat to listen to other people's gossip. I heard that there is an official son living on the fourth floor who returned to his hometown to take the imperial examination. There is a young lady on the third floor who has been looking for people on the fourth floor to pay more for a room.

Mingjia liked the stories about the romantic encounters of ancient scholars on their way to the imperial examinations. Seeing that the voices of those gossiping people were getting softer and quieter, Mingjia couldn't wait to go out and get closer to listen.

As a result, Mrs. Yan pinched the back of her neck. There were some things that Mrs. Yan could turn a blind eye to, but there were some things that Mrs. Yan never allowed Mingjia to do.

Ming Jia took Mrs. Yan back to her room. Mrs. Yan winked at Shi Shi before she left.

Mingjia hadn't even started lunch yet, and Fourteenth came back to report. "Master, the young master on the fourth floor is said to be the young master from the Zhizhou family in Yuzhou. He returned to his hometown in Xuzhou to prepare for the imperial examination!"

Mingjia thought that Fourteenth was going to report something to him, but it turned out to be this. Later, Shi Shi introduced Ming Jia to another protagonist in the gossip, a young lady from a grain merchant in Jinzhou who returned to her hometown to accompany her grandmother.

Mingjia thought about this configuration for a moment. Isn't this an appropriate configuration for a romance novel? I just don’t know what this official son is thinking.

After Fourteenth retreated, Mingjia looked at Granny Yan with a smile, "Grandma Yan, don't listen, you can let Uncle Fourteen go and find out!"

Mrs. Yan had her own explanation for this, "This kind of thing that the young lady is interested in and may spread bad news about, so naturally you have to find out more about it."

Ming Jia was a little stunned. This way of listening to gossip always felt like it was missing some fun.

After lunch, Mingjia was ready to take a nap. After all, there was really nothing else to do.

Mingjia was actually not sleepy. She was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. Suddenly Mrs. Yan walked around the screen and walked to the bedside and said to Mingjia, "Master, if you really don't want to sleep, get up over there! It might be noisy for a while!"

Ming Jia suddenly turned over and sat up, and asked Granny Yan what happened. Granny Yan's expression suddenly became complicated and she just said that if Jia was not sleepy, she should not sleep yet.

Mingjia got up and got dressed immediately, waiting for Mrs. Yan to say something a little noisy. Ming Jia had just sat down and was about to take a sip of tea when she heard the melodious sound of the piano coming from the small platform on the third floor.

Mingjia turned to confirm with Mrs. Yan's eyes that the sound of the piano was what Mrs. Yan said was noisy. Mrs. Yan nodded awkwardly, "Miss, do you want to go out and see the excitement?"

Mingjia didn't expect that Mrs. Yan would agree to go out to watch the fun. She got up and walked out. Mrs. Yan quickly lifted her heels.

Shi Shi and Cheng Wen were sitting on the wicker chairs at the door chatting. When they saw Ming Jia coming out, they quickly led Ming Jia in the direction of the sound of the piano.

It was not until Mingjia arrived at the small platform that she realized that it was no wonder that Mrs. Yan agreed to come out to watch the fun, because there were already many people standing on the small platform watching, and most of the guests on the third floor had come out to live a boring life on the boat.

I saw a man in plain clothes sitting in front of a piano in the crowd, playing the piano skillfully. Mingjia didn't recognize the music, but the scholar standing nearby actively introduced it to the people around him.

"This piece is called "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun". Originally the piece was supposed to be more atmospheric, but this lady's style is a bit distorted!" The scholar introduced the piece and did not forget to comment.

Mingjia knew this tune, which is said to express his longing for his hometown and concern for the fate of the country. Ming Jia felt that the song chosen by the lady in plain clothes was not as direct as "Feng Qiu Huang".

After listening to Mingjia's song halfway, he raised his head and looked towards the fourth floor. He found that many people on the fourth floor also stuck their heads out and looked at the small platform.

Only then did Ming Jia realize that the lady in plain clothes had chosen a very knowledgeable position to play the piano. Because the door and window of only one room on the fourth floor were still closed, Mingjia visually checked that the room would face the young lady if it opened the door.

Mingjia raised his eyebrows, it’s all about knowledge! After finishing a song, there was still a room on the fourth floor where no one came out. Mingjia felt that the young man would never come out, and it would be boring to watch without excitement.

After Miss Suyi played the last note of the piano, she took a sneak peek upstairs with the action of standing up, and then quickly lowered her head to hide the disappointment in her eyes.

"The little girl saw the beautiful scenery on both sides of the canal today, so she couldn't hold it back and played the song "Xiaoxiang Water Clouds". The little girl has made a fool of herself, I hope she didn't disturb everyone!"

Miss Suyi was a little shy but very polite and bowed to everyone. Many people around her applauded and said that the music was very good without being disturbed.

The woman in plain clothes turned around and picked up her piano. The two maids beside her, one holding the stand and the other carrying the chair, quickly left the small platform.

Mingjia turned to ask Mrs. Yan, "Could it be that they had practiced and you saw it?"

Mrs. Yan didn't expect that the young lady would guess all this, so she nodded while suppressing a smile.

Mingjia...

Mingjia couldn't understand why this young lady was so anxious today, and soon Fourteenth told Mingjia the reason. Because the lady’s hometown was coming soon, the lady got off the boat that afternoon!

"It turned out to be a last ditch effort! Unfortunately, it didn't work!" Ming Jia thought with some regret.
