Mingjia gave Shi Shi a silver check and asked him to buy jewelry. She started wandering again, mainly because she wanted to recall the geography knowledge from her previous life. Where is Xuzhou? Are there any gold mines nearby?

Mingjia thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember it. In the end, she could only comfort herself that time and space were different, and maybe there were problems such as crustal movement.

After Shi Shi left, Cheng Wen and Cheng Wu came over and stood guard outside Ming Jia's study. Mingjia, whose train of thought had been interrupted several times, couldn't continue drawing. When he went out, he saw Chengwen and Chengwu there.

"Brother Chengwu, I remember that you have practiced concealed weapons! Will it be okay? Can you let me take a look?" Mingjia suddenly remembered the reason why she chose Chengwen and Chengwu in the first place.

Cheng Wu had a hidden weapon hidden with him, but after thinking about it, he walked to the yard, bent down to pick up a pebble, and quickly projected the pebble out with a flick of his wrist.

The small stone hit the courtyard wall with a "dong" sound, and the whole stone was embedded in the wall. Although it is an adobe wall, it is a test of strength and skill to embed it entirely.

Mingjia ran over and studied the hardness of the wall and the depth of the inlay for a while. "Yeah! If it hit someone, it would be a big hole!"

what to do? Mingjia wants to learn! But Mingjia lowered his head and looked at his little hands. It was probably difficult for him to have such strength.

Mingjia looked at Chengwu with his big bright eyes, and Chengwu felt a little embarrassed when Mingjia looked at him. "Master, let's practice the flexibility of our fingers first?"

Then, Mingjia saw Cheng Wu sliding several chess pieces back and forth on his fingers and the back of his hand, even with his left and right hands.

Mingjia felt that she didn't need to be able to turn many chess pieces at once, she just needed to make one chess piece so obedient. So, Mingjia started practicing by playing with a chess piece.

Mingjia simply forgot about the drawings. Accompanied by Chengwen and Chengwu, Mingjia played small games all afternoon. Finally, Shi Shi and Cheng Zhi, who returned from Xuzhou City, also joined.

After dinner, Mingjia remembered to look at the jewelry she bought on the afternoon of the 14th. It is difficult to tell the color of gold with the naked eye. The more intuitive thing is that the hardness of gold will be softer.

After Mingjia compared them for a long time, she finally handed all the jewelry to Uncle Li. "Uncle Li, take these pieces of jewelry out of Xuzhou and find a gold shop to verify them."

Uncle Li took several jewelry boxes and weighed them with his hands. There was no obvious problem with the weight. "Okay, Master! I'll arrange for someone to go quickly, and I'll have an answer in three days."

Now that Mrs. Yan is away, Mingjia has to do many things by himself. Uncle Li carefully found a rough laundry woman in Tonglin County. This woman was quick at work, but she was a bit greedy for petty advantages.

Shi Shi and Uncle Li are older and have been with Ming Jia for a long time, so they rarely treat Ming Jia as a child. But Chengwen and the others are children themselves, and they often treat Mingjia like a younger brother.

No matter who Chengwen or the others go to Xuzhou City, they will definitely bring some snacks for Mingjia when they come back.

Although most of the snacks are too sweet for Mingjia, Mingjia is also willing to support them and will try a few pieces every time. Then put the snacks in the hall, and wait for Cheng Wen and others to take them to satisfy their hunger.

In the end, Uncle Li discovered that the rough lady would secretly pack a few snacks or other snacks and take them home. Mingjia left the matter to Uncle Li to deal with, and basically just drove away such a mother-in-law.

That day, as soon as Mingjia took Fourteen out, the rough lady who had been driven away rushed over, knelt in front of Mingjia and begged for mercy, saying that she wanted to come back to work.

"Master, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance." The mother-in-law kept saying that she was obsessed because her son and daughter-in-law were gone and her grandson was sick again and needed some nutrition.

Mingjia thought for a while and finally decided to ask Uncle Li to take someone to follow the woman to her home to take a look. Mingjia was very interested in some of the things the mother-in-law said.

What really made Mingjia soften her heart was that the old lady said that their village originally went to sea to make a living by fishing. As a result, there were often pirates at sea a few years ago, and many men in the village who were good at water never returned.

Uncle Li still knew very well what Mingjia wanted Uncle Li to see and check. The mother-in-law saw that the young master had spoken and things seemed to be turning around, so she quickly kowtowed and thanked him.

Mingjia originally wanted to go out for a stroll and pick up some embroidery items she had ordered before. Mingjia was not in the mood to go out now, so she gave Chengwen the order to pick up the goods and returned to the study.

Ming Jia is already counting the days every day, just waiting for Huang Zhengqing to arrive in Xuzhou.

Because as long as Huang Zhengqing arrives, Mingjia can now leave all matters in Xuzhou to Huang Zhengqing, whether it is buying land to build a warehouse or preparing for the Shiqu Building that is under renovation.

Counting the days, Mingjun has already entered the examination room for the college examination. Mrs. Yan must have arrived at the inn in Dianzhou, but she didn't know if she met her parents.

During this period of time when Mingjia was away from home, she completely gave up her insistence that she didn't care about her family. She is particularly homesick now. Dong is now five months pregnant.

Before dinner, Uncle Li hurried back with his people. Uncle Li asked the others to rest first, and then he went straight to Mingjia's study.

"Master, something is wrong!" Ming Jia knew that something was serious when she saw Uncle Li's face.

Uncle Li followed the rough messenger's wife back to the village. This village is not close to the sea, but there is a big river connecting it to the sea. As soon as Uncle Li entered the village, he found that there were several idle wooden boats in the village.

There is indeed a little boy in the mother-in-law's house who is sallow and skinny. He does look malnourished, and he is a little shaky when he walks.

Uncle Li left a little money for his mother-in-law and allowed her to come back to work tomorrow. Uncle Li asked carefully about the accident of the fishing boat in the village.

The woman also took Uncle Li to several other houses in the village. Basically, those who had the accident were young, strong, and extremely good-looking adult men.

After Uncle Li left the village, he visited several other villages along the river and found that this situation was also common in other villages.

Uncle Li knew that this matter was probably closely related to the case being investigated in Xuzhou, so he hurried back to report to Mingjia.

Ming Jia thought for a long time, looked up at Uncle Li and asked hopefully: "Uncle Li, do you think it's possible that these villagers are still alive and are being imprisoned over there to do some illegal things?"

Mingjia still retains some good wishes in her heart.
