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

"Thank you, girl, please come in!"

Xie Zhiqiu smiled and saluted Ming Jia, as if she didn't see Cheng Wen's move to intercept Han An, and walked straight into the box.

After all, Ming Jia is a man outside. It would be better to have tea with Xie Zhiqiu with the box door open. However, Xie Zhiqiu entered the box and closed the door behind her back.

Ming Jia raised her eyebrows and looked at Xie Zhiqiu. Not only because of Xie Zhiqiu's actions, but also because Xie Zhiqiu turned around, Ming Jia noticed Xie Zhiqiu's hairstyle.

Xie Zhiqiu's hair was all combed up, which was a hairstyle commonly worn by married women like Daliang.

Mingjia had some guesses in her mind, and regardless of Xie Zhiqiu closing the door, she walked to the round table and sat down.

"Miss Xie sent someone to stop me in the street, saying they wanted to invite me to tea. When they arrived at the teahouse, they just stared at me without saying a word! Miss Xie, keep reading..."

"Keep reading, but it's a little ambiguous?"

Mingjia: "..."

Ming Jia looked down at the teacup in her hand, her thick eyelashes covering the shock in her eyes. What is Xie Zhiqiu doing?

Xie Zhiqiu has been in Daliang for at least seven years. If she is so bold and seriously inconsistent with her status, she will definitely not say anything.

When Xie Zhiqiu saw that she had finished speaking, Xiao Mingjia across from him didn't speak at all and gently raised the corners of his lips!

【I got it right! 】

"Ms. Mingjia, you should have known my origin for a long time! We can be considered fellow villagers!"

Xie Zhiqiu learned that Mingjia was a woman from the emperor Liang Jingchen's mouth, and also learned that the real owner of Shiqulou was Xiao Mingjia and not Xie Boyuan.

After learning about the business methods of Zhiqulou, Xie Zhiqiu had doubts until she learned that the owner behind it was Xiao Mingjia.

Xie Zhiqiu not only sent people to Qu County to inquire, but also sent people to Dianzhou and Qingzhou. The more news came back, the more Xie Zhiqiu became suspicious of Xiao Mingjia.

Of course, what makes Xie Zhiqiu suspicious the most is that the people who came back from Dianzhou brought back a lot of patent medicines. The aborigines in Daliang should not have imagined how convenient patent medicines are.

Ming Jia was able to guess the identity of Xie Zhiqiu as a time traveler from a mooncake mold with the word "egg yolk" engraved on it. Naturally, he was not surprised that Xie Zhiqiu could guess him.

"My ancestral home is Qingzhou and I was born in Qingzhou. I'm afraid Miss Xie got the wrong person!"

Xie Zhiqiu didn't care about Mingjia's denial, but continued to speak.

"I know Mr. Liu San went to see you. If you want to find a partner, I am more suitable than Mr. Liu San!"

Ming Jia looked up at Xie Zhiqiu. Xie Zhiqiu was more mature than she had been four years ago, but her style of doing things had not changed.

"Thank you, girl, did you comb yourself?"

Mingjia didn't want to talk about cooperation with Xie Zhiqiu. It was still unclear what happened to the Xie family when she returned from Qu County, but Mingjia was very curious about Xie Zhiqiu's current identity.

"I have no intention of getting married. I received a favor a few years ago, so I asked the then-Crown Princess and now the Queen to give her my own comb!"

"I also imagined that I was the protagonist, and I almost took the wrong path. Fortunately, I woke up in time!"

"I have lived once, and this time I can sacrifice my life for others, but I don't want to continue having children...and I don't want my marriage to be controlled!"

Mingjia has been listening to Xie Zhiqiu's words quietly. She can understand Xie Zhiqiu's current mentality, but Xie Zhiqiu's change was unexpected.

No matter what, Xie Zhiqiu is not a good partner.

"If you really figured it out, why would you ask me to cooperate? Your current property is enough for you to have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life! You also know... I can't let you do anything too big!"

Mingjia said and pointed to the sky, which was a disguised acknowledgment of his identity.

"Because I can't escape, your patent medicine has already taken shape, and I was chosen to cooperate with you!"

Xie Zhiqiu did not hide the reason why she came to seek cooperation. All Mingjia's actions in Dianzhou were watched by interested people.

Ming Jia was silent after hearing Xie Zhiqiu's words, so Emperor Liang wanted her patent medicine and prescription, so he asked Xie Zhiqiu to cooperate with him?

What Mingjia is most worried about now is not the patent medicine and her medicine field, but another thing.

[I’m going to find Uncle Li now. Is it still too late to get the letter back? 】

When Mingjia thought about it, he wrote in his handbook that he could exchange food with some small Southeast Asian countries. After all, their food could be harvested three times a year.

What else can be done to control some vassal countries and serve as a maritime defense stronghold for Daliang to prevent sneak attacks by some pirate countries.

Mingjia just wants to slap herself a few times now, what are you talking about?

Seeing that Ming Jia's expression kept changing, Xie Zhiqiu chose to lower her head and drink tea. She only fully awakened after seeing the emperor's ruthlessness.

Xie Zhiqiu felt that Ming Jia was sober and would not be frightened by Liang Jingchen's true appearance.

After a long time, Mingjia slowly spoke.

"I have already discussed cooperation with Mr. Liu San. My cooperation with Mr. Liu will make my senior brother feel more at ease, and it will also be good for you!"

"My senior brother may not be at ease if I cooperate with you!"

Ming Jia said it euphemistically, and Xie Zhiqiu understood. Ming Jia was Xie Boyuan's disciple after all.

"When I think about it... I'm surprised that you would take the initiative to cooperate with Master Liu San!"

Xie Zhiqiu is really right!

Liang Jingchen never imagined that Ming Jia would choose to cooperate with Liu Jingze. In his opinion, the two people had a grudge!

"I will leave the capital early tomorrow morning. I asked Mr. Li Guo to help me talk about my cooperation with Mr. Liu San!"

"Thank you, girl, if you had been two days late, you wouldn't have had to come to me!"

Xie Zhiqiu: "..."

[So, am I too positive? 】

"Then I'm afraid we have to talk about the cooperation method and the sharing method between you and Mr. Liu again!"

Xie Zhiqiu knew that she had no chance to cooperate with Ming Jia, so her tone of voice became much more relaxed, even teasing.

"You will never let me suffer! In business, I only want money!"

Mingjia's words are very interesting. Many small countries in Southeast Asia have very few medical skills. The old patent medicines sold by Daliang's ships were very popular.

The patent medicine business is highly profitable, and demand exceeds supply overseas. Mingjia's biggest problem is a shortage of manpower.

If you have enough manpower, you can directly open stores overseas. You can not only understand the national conditions of other countries and get more intelligence, but also place a lot of informants.

In short, Mingjia only wants money. If he comes to cooperate, he can only guarantee Mingjia's monetary income. Mingjia has no control over what the other party does.

Of course... I don't dare to care!

"Do you need me to tell you what you want?"

Xie Zhiqiu was somewhat regretful that she could not cooperate with Mingjia. She liked many of Mingjia's business ideas very much.

Faced with Xie Zhiqiu's kindness, Mingjia did not refuse, but...

"Do I still need you to take the message?"

Saying that, Mingjia raised her chin slightly and signaled Han An standing at the door!

Xie Zhiqiu followed Ming Jia's movements and thought of the person at the door, and chuckled.

"In the beginning, if I didn't ask for rewards, Han An should be your bodyguard!"
