After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.
Chapter 498 Why not take the imperial examination?
Mingjun sat silently on the chair opposite Mingjia!
Mingjia looked at the book in her hand quietly, and after a while asked Shuang'er to serve tea, but still ignored the elder brother sitting opposite.
"Shuang'er, you go down first! I'll talk to Mingjia about something!"
Mingjun really didn't want to continue the sit-in competition with Mingjia, so he had to take the initiative to stir up the topic with Mingjia.
When Shuang'er left, Mingjun's face turned red before he started to speak.
"Jiajia, I heard dad say... that you guessed it a long time ago!"
"You...why don't you tell me!"
Mingjun has always been open about his marriage. Mingjun has seen the relationship between his parents since he was a child, but Mingjun also knew the relationship between Lieutenant Shi and Mrs. Shi in the Quxian County Government back then.
Mingjun also secretly considered it in private. Whether it was to bring the case together or to share the goal with the outside world, Mingjun felt that he could accept it.
Moreover, Mingjun believes that he can be a husband and a good father.
It can only be said that the young man is ignorant of love and has chosen the wrong reference targets, but no one has ever talked to Mingjun about this!
Mingjia finally looked away from the page in her hand. Mingjia had actually wanted to say something for a long time, but it would not be good for Miss Yang to say more before deciding.
"Didn't master tell you the news in advance? I guessed it myself!"
This time Mingjun escorted his master all the way and parted ways with him in the counties around the capital.
Mingjun recalled carefully that when he said goodbye to his master, his master did not give him any hint at all!
For a moment, Mingjun felt a little sad. His master actually wrote to his sister in advance about his marriage, but he refused to tell him at all.
Seeing Mingjun shaking his head with a pitiful expression, Mingjia couldn't help laughing.
The main point when Ming Jia saw her brother was that she didn't know about it, not Miss Yang. I guess her brother also agreed to the marriage in his heart.
Mingjia stood up and took down a locked wooden box from the bookshelf on the other side of the study. He found the key and opened the small copper lock.
"I asked Uncle Li and Wang Duo to inquire about the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Most of the rumors outside are unbelievable. The overall family tradition is very good!"
"As for Miss Six, brother, if you are interested, I can help you ask! The wife of the Xu Honglei family had a handkerchief with the Third Miss of the Yang family before she came out of the cabinet!"
Mingjia said, pushing the information in the wooden box in front of his brother Mingjun.
"Miss Sixth?"
Mingjia found that her brother had once again missed the point.
【pretty! As expected of my brother! 】
Mingjia sighed!
"Brother! You don't know that Uncle Yang's eldest daughter is the sixth among the girls in Dingyuan Marquis Mansion!"
Mingjun shook his head again, how could he know! He didn't even know how many children Yang Zhizhou had before!
Mingjia: "..."
"Brother! I have some simple information about Dingyuan Hou Mansion here, why don't you take a look first!"
Mr. Dong is both happy and sad today!
Ms. Dong was happy that her eldest son’s marriage was finally settled!
But when she thought about her future daughter-in-law's family background, Ms. Dong became worried again.
Mrs. Shui watched the master and his wife walking in circles in the hall, and couldn't help but remind them.
"Madam, Yang Zhizhou's transfer is coming soon, it's better to settle this matter as soon as possible!"
"It's better to keep a low profile at this time. Can we choose a suitable token and send it to Yang Zhizhou?"
Xiao Qingshan and Dong stopped at the same time, and turned to look at Mrs. Shui. There was a kind of surprise in their eyes that they had found their backbone.
"Yes! Send a token!"
"Xiao Tao! Get the key and open the warehouse!"
When Mingjun and Mingjia returned to the main courtyard, they saw their parents rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for things in the warehouse of the main courtyard!
"Mom and Dad, what are you looking for?"
Mingjia, who helped Mr. Dong organize the warehouse in the main courtyard many times, knew what was stored in what place.
Seeing that it was Mingjia, Mrs. Dong waved to Mingjia to come over.
"Come on, Jiajia!"
"Jiajia, please help mother as a reference. Which of these two jade pendants do you think is suitable as a token?"
Ming Jia looked at the two jade pendants of good quality placed on the tray held by Mrs. Shui, and raised her hand to pick them up and observe them carefully.
The two jade pendants prepared by Dong were known to Ming Jia. They can be said to be the two best jade pendants in the Xiao family's warehouse.
If they were sent to the home of a fifth-grade magistrate to make a betrothal token, these two jade pendants would be worth it!
But...if it were sent to the house of a second-grade Duke, it would be a bit difficult to handle.
Mingjia held the jade pendant in her hand, but she was quickly recalling whether she had a suitable jade pendant in her small warehouse.
Just when Mingjia was still thinking, he suddenly saw an extra jade pendant in front of him.
"Use this jade pendant!"
Xiao Qingshan also came over at this time, and the three members of the Xiao family looked at Mingjun in unison.
Ming Jun's face turned a little red, but his eyes did not flinch. In his hand was the jade pendant he had just taken off his waist.
"This jade pendant was given to me by my master when I became a disciple. I have always carried it with me all these years!"
"Whether it is the quality, origin, or... significance of the jade pendant, it is worthy of Miss Sixth!"
Mingjia raised her eyebrows and put down the jade pendant in her hand. With her brother's jade pendant, everything else seemed to be of insufficient weight.
Seeing her eldest son's face flushed but explaining in a serious manner, Mrs. Dong suppressed a smile and glared at Xiao Qingshan.
"Why don't you hurry up and make this trip for your son!"
Xiao Qingshan was glared at by his wife, and he quickly reached out to take Mingjun's jade pendant, and patted Mingjun on the shoulder.
"Don't worry! Dad is going to settle the marriage for you!"
Yang Tingxuan's transfer has not yet been announced, and tokens of the marriage between the two families have only been exchanged privately. There is no rumor that only the two families know about it.
After that, Yang Tingxuan instructed Ming Jun to study more attentively. Ming Jiadian's brother Guang seemed to regard Yang Tingxuan's study as a warehouse for "replenishment".
Yang Tingxuan is really more and more satisfied with Ming Jun as his son-in-law, and naturally hopes that Ming Jun's career will be smoother.
Ming Jia did not take the imperial examination and did not want to pursue an official career. Yang Tingxuan had deeply regretted it before, but recently he did not understand it even more.
"Mingjun, you still need to persuade your parents not to indulge Mingjia's temper!"
After hearing Yang Tingxuan's words, Ming Jun quickly stopped writing and looked up at Yang Tingxuan.
"Uncle Yang, has Mingjia caused any trouble again?"
Yang Tingxuan...
Ming Jun listened quietly to Yang Tingxuan's explanation of what a pity it was for Ming Jia to give up the imperial examination, and how the two brothers could help each other.
Mingjun didn't know how to answer Yang Tingxuan's words, especially Yang Tingxuan's words:
"I sent people to Chuanzhou to inquire about Mingjia, and everyone in the letter said that your brother studied very well when he was in the academy!"
Mingjun really knew about this matter, it was the spy who discovered it by County Lieutenant Shen. Mingjun remembered that his master asked Lao Lu to solve the matter.
However, Mingjun didn't know what happened next, because the master told him that it had been solved.
【younger brother? Academy? Could it be that Huang Jiawen was mistaken for Ming Jia? 】
"Uncle Yang, Mingjia's character is really not suitable for an official career. She likes doing business and is good at it!"
Yang Tingxuan found that when Ming Jun said this, his tone and expression were doting and proud!
