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

Mingjia stayed with Dong until Xiao Qingshan came back from the Yamen.

"Grandma Yan, ask someone to serve food! Qingshan, after dinner later, Jiajia has something to ask you!"

When Mrs. Dong saw Xiao Qingshan coming back, she immediately arranged dinner so that Xiao Qingshan could quickly solve the problem for Ming Jia.

Xiao Qingshan...

Mingjia...

Great, no need to make excuses anymore!

The family had just had dinner, and Xiao Qingshan was just about to ask his servants to serve him a cup of hot tea.

As soon as he turned around, he saw his wife glaring at him, and Xiao Qingshan immediately changed the words that were on his lips.

"Jiajia, let's go to the study! Grandma Yan asked someone to bring two cups of hot tea to the study!"

Mingjia followed her father out of the yard with a smile. After some distance from the yard, Xiao Qingshan turned back and whispered to Ming Jia.

"Since your mother became pregnant, she has become more and more angry and courageous..."

Mingjia listened to her father's complaints and just smiled and said nothing. When her father had said enough, Mingjia spoke leisurely.

"The way my mother looks now, isn't it because of my father's doting on me? I think my mother is so good!"

Xiao Qingshan paused, suddenly blushed, and felt a little awkward when speaking.

"What...what's the matter! Don't talk nonsense at such a young age! Leave quickly, you have something to tell me!"

Mingjia curled her lips and looked at her father who was speeding away, and snorted in his heart.

"Don't you know my legs are short? How can I keep up when I walk so fast!"

In the study, Xiao Qingshan was waiting for Mingjia to speak, but Mingjia suddenly didn't know where to start.

Xiao Qingshan is not in a hurry. He now feels that as long as Mingjia doesn't get into big trouble, everything will be fine.

Xiao Qingshan and Ming Jia stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. In the end, Ming Jia was defeated first.

"Dad, I want to buy a farm outside the city! A bigger one that can grow a lot of medicinal materials!"

"I have no private money! To buy Zhuangzi, you have to ask your mother for the silver!"

Mingjia wanted to say something, but was instantly choked back by his father's words.

Mingjia thought about it in his mind, "No more private money?" Does this mean there was any private money?

"Dad, do you know the old nobles in Dianzhou?"

Mingjia felt that it was better to talk about the key points directly without going around in circles. When Xiao Qingshan heard Ming Jia ask this, he immediately sat up straight.

"Yes! Mr. Yang once told me. However, Mr. Yang said that they are all peaceful now, so just don't take the initiative to provoke..."

At this point, Xiao Qingshan suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at Mingjia.

"Have you met? Whose surname is it?"

Listening to his father's tone, Mingjia didn't have much fear of the old aristocrats in Dianzhou, so Mingjia quickly waved her hands to show that she didn't.

"There is a village with hot springs in the east of the city that they plan to sell. I haven't seen it yet, but I like it after hearing the introduction!"

Xiao Qingshan was surprised when his daughter said that someone in those clans wanted to sell Zhuangzi.

"In the old days, the Dianzhou nobles occupied a large amount of land around Dianzhou City, so many people did not have land suitable for farming. Moreover, they rarely sold land."

"Even if it is sold, it should be sold privately. When Chengwen brings that person to the government office to transfer the ownership tomorrow, bring him to my study and let me see him!"

Mingjia nodded and directly asked Shuang'er to pass on the message.

"Dad, I want to talk to you about growing medicinal materials and making medicines. ..."

Mingjia decided to tell her father her thoughts in advance. After all, whether it was working with Chen Shao'ang, Yang Tingxuan or Xu Honglei, it involved a wide range of things.

Moreover, Yang Tingxuan and Yang Zhizhou now know that the Xiao family intends to plant medicinal materials in Dianzhou.

Mingjia finished speaking her thoughts and quietly waited for her father's reaction, but Xiao Qingshan thought for a long time.

"You can give priority to your uncle Shao'ang and ask him what he thinks first. Xu Honglei has not yet married, and he cannot represent General Xu Shengyuan in so many things."

"As for Marquis Dingyuan... it's your idea to plant medicinal materials, which can increase the income of the people of Dianzhou."

"But this, concocting medicinal materials and making finished medicines is another matter entirely. That is Mr. Ye's idea and industry."

Mingjia instantly understood what his father meant, "What a great idea!"

"Hehe! Dad, I guess you must suggest that I cooperate with Uncle Shao'ang! I just like to make a lot of money in silence!"

Xiao Qingshan looked at Mingjia with squinted eyes. He didn't believe that his daughter didn't expect it, but he still wanted to tell Mingjia something.

"We can wait until I see Yaozi about the hot spring village! As for the patent medicine, you should first write to Xuzhou and ask! Don't think too much, I haven't believed anything about the Xuzhou Port yet!"

Xiao Qingshan has never been exposed to sea trade, and he has heard about the prosperity and high profits of sea trade, but anything with high returns must have high risks.

Xiao Qingshan is worried about Mingjia, but knowing Mingjia's character, she will definitely do what she wants to do.

If the partner to cooperate with is Chen Shao'ang, Xiao Qingshan will be reassured. Ming Jia will not suffer a loss with Chen Shao'ang watching.

The father and daughter chatted in the study until late. Xiao Qingshan has been too busy recently.

In winter, many tribes have various festivals. In order to show the government's concern, they often send people to participate.

Could it be that when he had some free time, Xiao Qingshan still had to learn the language with the locals, which made Xiao Qingshan miserable.

"Dad, I think you can try learning the local language in Dianzhou with your mother."

Mingjia kindly gave her father some tips and said predictably in her heart.

"Maybe my mother can learn faster and better than you~!"

Xiao Qingshan didn't know why his daughter said this, he just thought he wanted to spend more time with Mr. Dong.

"Okay! I will take time to spend more time with your mother. If you have something to do, tell me!"

Mingjia knew that his father had misunderstood, but he didn't explain it. His father would naturally know it by then.

Finally, Xiao Qingshan personally sent Mingjia back to the courtyard.

"You have been tired during this period. You are also worried about family matters. If there is something that cannot be handled, send someone to the front office to look for me!"

Xiao Qingshan patted Mingjia on the shoulder and said guiltily.

"Dad! Our family recently had a big event called New Year's gift. I am responsible for purchasing and my mother is responsible for drawing up the gift list. My mother has a harder time!"

Having said this, Mingjia smiled awkwardly.

"Hehe! As for the things outside, that's what I want to do. If I don't do it, wouldn't it be very comfortable to just be the eldest daughter of the state magistrate's family?"

Xiao Qingshan was very pleased to see Mingjia comforting himself like this. At the same time, I felt even more sorry for Mingjia.

"Your father and I are still a little behind on my abilities. Regarding matters outside...you should ask your master more!"

Xiao Qingshan sighed, he couldn't help much with his son and daughter.

Originally, Xiao Qingshan was hesitant about Ming Jia's suggestion of cooperating with Mr. Yang to control the caravans. He didn't want to take that much risk.

However, after tonight's conversation with Ming Jia, Xiao Qingshan decided to go back and think about it carefully.
