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

Mingjun stayed at Yang's house for lunch, and Mingjia had lunch with his parents.

Mingxi was used to the days when her two brothers would leave early and come home late, and would only play with her before dinner. She was very excited to see her second brother in advance today.

After lunch, Mingjia played with Mingxi for a while. It wasn't until Mingxi was tired that she followed Mrs. Yan back to take a nap.

When Ming Jun came back from Yang's house, he carried a wooden box to Ming Jia's study.

"Jiajia, Uncle Yang gave this to you!"

Mingjia didn't even look at the box, only glanced at it from the corner of his eye.

"Put it there!"

"How did you two discuss the solution?"

When Ming Jia was alone in the study in the afternoon, she was already thinking about how she should handle the matter if Yang Tingxuan still refused to reveal her brother's identity.

"Uncle Yang, he has agreed that I will accompany him to the capital after the new year. Someone has been sent to return the token to the capital before lunch!"

"Token? Your jade pendant?"

Mingjia was shocked! My brother's jade pendant is still in Yang Tingxuan's hand!

Mingjun knew what Mingjia was surprised about, so he nodded and explained.

"The pattern on that jade pendant... there are many people with vicious eyes in the capital! Uncle Yang originally wanted to take it back in person after the New Year!"

……

Ming Jia listened to her brother's plans for the new year and nodded with satisfaction. This is what his father should consider!

The grudge in her heart was completely gone, and Ming Jia was able to take a look at what Yang Tingxuan gave her.

Mingjia took the box from the corner of the desk, opened it casually and took a look, then he was stunned.

"This... this... brother! Did you give it to me?"

After receiving Mingjun's affirmative reply, Mingjia swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva at the wooden box!

This is too expensive!

I saw that there was an ancient book in the box, or an only copy that Mingjia had coveted for a long time. Mingjia's dream was just to borrow it and read it.

"Brother! You didn't sell me for the only copy, did you?"

Most of the ancient books on the market today are worth thousands of gold each, and the price of an unique copy like this will only be even higher.

Mingjia's own worth was the most well-known. If all her properties in Dianzhou were put together, she probably wouldn't be able to exchange for two such ancient books.

"Uncle Yang said that he thanked you for sincerely thinking about...ahem...Miss Yang, and thank you very much for what you said. This is a thank you gift for you!"

Mingjia laughed completely this time!

Xiao Qingshan and Dong quickly learned that Ming Jun would return to Beijing with Yang Tingxuan after the new year. Xiao Qingshan and Dong were relieved by this arrangement.

As a result, Mingjia felt a little worried.

Mingjia's original plan was to start from Dianzhou next summer, go all the way north to Xuzhou and then Qingzhou, and accompany Mingjun to complete the provincial examination before going to the capital together.

The first batch of Panax notoginseng planted by Mingjia will be harvested soon, and the cost of the patent medicine and the corresponding profit will also be revealed.

After two years of development, the development scale of patent medicines in Dianzhou has basically been quantified, while the port in Xuzhou has only been completed less than half.

If Mingjia leaves next summer, many things can be dealt with slowly.

But if Mingjia goes north together after the New Year, Mingjia will have to prepare in advance if the transportation is not convenient.

When Mingjia was worried, Dong was also worried in the main courtyard.

"When Ming Jun comes to Beijing this time, he will definitely be formally engaged to Mr. Yang's family. There must always be family members present!"

"Grandma Shui, do you think I should accompany Mingjun north to handle Mingjun's engagement?"

Mrs. Shui stood aside with a headache. It stands to reason that the Xiao family's mistress does need to come forward, but...

"Madam, if you come to Beijing, will Master Mingxi take you with you?"

Mother Shui suddenly asked the core question!

It would be inconvenient for Dong to go to the capital with him for important matters, and Mingxi would definitely be taken with him.

But... Xiao Qingshan is busy with official duties, so it seems very inconvenient to leave Mingxi to Mingjia to take care of him!

Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Shui were at a loss for a solution. Finally, Mrs. Dong sighed and decided to discuss it with her husband at night.

Mingjia was already picking up a pen and paper, thinking about the things he needed to arrange before setting off.

The first thing is that Shuang'er and Chen Xiaoliu were transferred to Mingjun's yard to ensure that Mingjun was taken care of in the capital.

[I need to prepare more money to buy a house in the capital! 】

Mingjun will stay in the capital to study after the provincial examination, and will get married in three years at the latest. It is impossible to live in the Taifu Mansion after getting married.

Speaking of money, Mingjia is still very grateful to King Kong Dorje and Huo Zelin. Their caravan really helped Mingjia solve a big capital chain problem.

The reason why Mingjia was able to open the Dianzhou Shiqu Building this year was not because he had prepared the books today, but because Mingjia had only deposited the money for the manuscripts this year.

And then...it's gone again!

Mingjia spent several days trying to find a sum of cash, but failed.

Mingjun discovered that Mingjia only smiled on the day she received the ancient book. In the following days, Mingjia's expression became worse and worse.

Finally, Mingjun couldn't bear it anymore.

"Jiajia, what happened?"

Mingjia very generously showed his private account book to his brother to show off his extremely poor family background.

Mingjun looked at the account book recorded by Mingjia himself, and frowned as he flipped through it, because the balance column on every page was almost empty.

"Jiajia, why didn't you say you were short of money?"

"The two Shiqu Buildings in Chuanzhou and Chili Pepper Village are our common industries, and you left behind these profits!"

Mingjia really fell behind, because... she always wanted to have some backup, so Mingjia always ignored Chuanzhou's industries when making plans.

"Brother, how much cash can you put out now?"

Ming Jia watched as her brother slowly stretched out a finger:

"Ten thousand taels! Is that enough?"

Mingjia: "..."

[I only earned 14,000 taels in six years in Chuanzhou. My brother earned 10,000 taels in three years after taking over! 】

Ming Jia's face suddenly became even more disgusting, but she still stretched out her right hand and gave Ming Jun a thumbs up.

"enough!"

"Oh~! Okay, then I'll let Aman..."

"Brother, please give Brother Qian a kiss!"

Mingjia interrupted Mingjun directly. She just didn't have the money to buy a house, but she still had other money.

"You will probably need this money to buy a house in the capital! Mom may still give it to you, and then you can just pick and buy it yourself!"

Ming Jia half explained and half jokingly told Ming Jun that it would be much easier to handle now that Yin Qian has a follow-up matter.

"Brother, are you going to study at Yang's house today?"

"I'll go find my mother and discuss the betrothal gift list with her!"

Mingjun heard his sister teasing him. Even though he knew that his sister was doing it on purpose, he was still a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Mingjia was about to walk out, Mingjun quickly stopped Mingjia.

"Jiajia, Uncle Yang knows everything about our family's fortune! Moreover, Master said he would prepare a betrothal gift for me."

Mingjia understands what his brother means, but only Mingjia knows the Xiao family's background.

"Brother, why don't you go to your mother and tell her yourself without her helping you prepare the betrothal gift?"
