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

On the tenth day of March, the Xiao family held a small 100-day banquet for Mingxi in the backyard of the government office.

Only a few families within the government office were invited to participate, and Yang Tingxuan came in person to give Mingxi a longevity lock.

At the end of March, Vajra Dorje's caravan finished participating in Tubo's Samurai Vajra Festival. As soon as they arrived in Dianzhou City, they went to Medicinal Materials Zhuangzi to buy some patent medicines.

"Your silk and tea are really good, and your patent medicines are also very popular!"

Mingjia did not expect that Vajra Dorje would treat patent medicines as commodities and trade them, and the sales volume suddenly expanded a lot.

The capital chain problem that had troubled Mingjia for a long time was temporarily alleviated, and Mingjia returned to the study to continue making up for her homework.

April 22nd is the eve of the large-scale gathering of the Baiyi tribe around Sanling.

The entire Dianzhou government office has been crazy busy recently, and Xiao Qingshan has moved directly to the study room in the front yard.

Mingjia has been a little absent-minded these days and can't read, so she just goes to the backyard to help look after the children every day.

Mrs. Dong found that Mingjia was distracted again, so she thought about it and decided not to wake Mingjia for the time being.

Madam Dong signaled Mrs. Yan to take Mingxi away, and waved her servants to get out, leaving only mother and daughter in the room.

Mingjia slowly recovered her thoughts and realized that the room was extremely quiet. She looked around and saw only her mother.

"Recovered?"

Seeing that her mother was still teasing her, Ming Jia blushed a little and seemed to have been distracted for a long time.

"Mom, where is Mingxi? Have you taken her to sleep?"

Seeing that Mingjia was still thinking about changing the topic, Dong had no choice but to ask Mingjia directly.

"What trouble did you encounter?"

"Mom is just a housewife, so she may not be able to help you! But... your father can always help you with ideas!"

Mingjia really didn't dare to tell Xiao Qingshan about this matter.

A few days ago, Mingjia received letters one after another from Wang Duo, Li Hansheng and Sun Juanlu, the shopkeepers of Beijing Shiqu Building.

Wang Duo sent the question booklet and list of the Jinke Examination and the Palace Examination, and also told about Sun Juan and Zhou Tuo going to Shiqulou to study.

Li Hansheng's letter was partly to thank Mingjia for helping to raise the medicine. Shen Qi went back and told how Mingjia mobilized everyone to raise the medicine.

The other half of the letter is... asking for credit? If Mingjia understands correctly!

Li Hansheng told in detail how he rescued Sun Juan and Zhou Tuo, and specifically pointed out that he helped Sun Juan get the opportunity to enter the Hanlin Academy.

Sun Jun was ranked second in the new department, so he should be admitted to the Hanlin Academy, but he came from a poor family and offended Du Shilang...

It is not impossible for the Ministry of Personnel to dispatch officials far away from the capital with a transfer order.

Mingjia was not confused about Li Hansheng's help in doing this, but about Li Hansheng's attitude in writing to her.

Sun Juan's letter was full of thanks, thanks to Mingjia for sending the letter before the exam, and thanks to Mingjia's Zhiqulou for taking care of him during the preparation for the exam.

Sun Juan believed that he was Ming Jia's elder, so naturally he would not mention to Ming Jia that he was almost "liked to be his father".

However, Sun Juan still mentioned a few words at the end of the letter.

Sun Juan was born in an indigenous village in Qingyun County, and he was used to seeing families in the village adopt children from across the room or from the same ethnic group in order to keep the family alive.

Sun Juan said it very tactfully, and even felt that he was a little shady. Li Guogong was his benefactor, but he was so suspicious of Li Guogong behind his back.

However, Sun Juan's words suddenly awakened Mingjia, and Mingjia remembered what Mrs. Yan had said before.

Mingjia has been worried about this for several days. She dare not mention it to Xiao Qingshan because she is afraid!

Based on Mingjia's understanding of Xiao Qingshan, Xiao Qingshan may not agree to the adoption, although it is very likely that Mingxi will be adopted in the end!

"Mom, the homework my master has given me recently is quite difficult. I'm just thinking about how to write the essay!"

Mingjia answered sincerely, but Dong didn't believe it at all.

"Tomorrow will be three days of activities around the Three Spirits. After three days, the entire government will have a few days off."

"When the time comes, shall I ask your father to talk to you?"

Ming Jia looked at Mr. Dong with wide eyes, her mother would actually use her father to scare her.

"Mom, I used this trick before I was four years old. Maybe it will work!"

The smile on Dong's face became stiff for a moment. She just hoped that her daughter would not have to bear it alone when encountering difficulties.

"Hey! You... can you solve it yourself?"

Ms. Dong did the next best thing and just wanted to confirm whether her daughter's troubles could be solved.

Ming Jiajiao smiled and stepped forward to hold Dong's arm, looking coquettish and flattering.

"I am your daughter! She is so amazing! It's just a small thing~!"

Seeing Ming Jia's look, Mrs. Dong knew that she couldn't ask any more questions, so she had to sigh and give up.

"It's rare that you're not busy, so just take a rest! I'll go to the kitchen and cook you some of your favorite dishes!"

Mrs. Dong gently tapped Mingjia's forehead, stood up and left the room, leaving Mingjia alone in the room.

"Oh~!"

After Dong walked away, Mingjia sighed helplessly, this is not easy to handle!

Li Hansheng was very kind to Ming Jun and Ming Jia, and he was kind to Ming Jun and Ming Jia without any purpose. In comparison, Xie Boyuan was not as good as him.

Xie Boyuan had too many people and things to worry about, so he naturally wanted Mingjun's education and training.

Otherwise, Xie Boyuan would not have put so much thought into planning and arranging for Xiao Qingshan to be transferred to Dianzhou, thus separating the two brothers Mingjun and Mingjia.

Ming Jia was very grateful to Li Hansheng. Without Li Hansheng's care, his family might not have been able to reach Chuanzhou safely in the first place.

But... adoptive?

Mingjia thought about it very seriously. She was willing to recognize Li Hansheng as her adoptive father, but she did not want to adopt Li Guogong as his daughter.

In other words, she selfishly did not want to take on the responsibility of being a noble daughter of the Duke's palace.

Today, Mingjia is very tired. She lives a comfortable life and does not want to be trapped in the capital.

After eating in the main courtyard, Mingjia went back to the study. She was not an evasive character. Since she had guessed it, she had to face it.

Mingjia let Shuang'er go down first and stayed in the study to think about how to write this letter.

"Uncle Li is well... Recently I have often talked with my mother about my younger brother's studies, about returning to his hometown to take the imperial examination and the old house in Qingzhou. I remembered that Uncle Li once said that the Xiao family's old house in Qingzhou was dilapidated."

"Mingjia is quite talented in house design and is interested in trying to come up with drawings of an old house."

"Ming Jia is young, so it is inevitable that she is a little arrogant. I dare to ask Uncle Li if he is determined to repair the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain."

"In his early days, Uncle Li and my father retired and returned home together. The two families lived next to each other."

"You and your father can enjoy the mountains together in the summer and the snow in the winter. Mingjia will be there to serve you with a fan and warm wine."

……

Mingjia thought about this letter for a long time, but once she started writing it, she finished it in one go.

Mingjia is very willing to serve or support Li Hansheng. In her heart, Li Hansheng has long been a relative.

Although Mingjia thinks so, it is a bit shameless.

How could the dignified Duke Li Guo lack someone to serve him when he is old?

"How about? Discuss with your parents and send Mingxi to the capital?"

While Mingjia was thinking this, he pointed his right hand in front of his chest and made a Taoist ritual.

"A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!"
