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

On the second day, Mingjia slept until noon. After lunch, she took Chengwen and Ruying out.

Mingjia chose to go out on foot, walking slowly and feeling the fireworks in the streets of Qu County. Mingjia enjoyed this walk very much.

"Shopkeeper Li, long time no see!"

Mingjia gently tapped the counter of Shiqulou with her folding fan, and greeted shopkeeper Li at the counter with a smile.

Shopkeeper Li was originally recording something. When he heard someone saying hello, he quickly raised his head and smiled in response.

Outside the counter, Ming Jia smiled with crooked eyebrows, just standing there and letting shopkeeper Li look at her.

"Little...Miss?"

"Miss Mingjia!"

"Ouch~! This old man has met Miss Mingjia and wants to say hello to her!"

Shopkeeper Li hurriedly walked out of the counter and bumped his knees against the stool. He didn't even bother to pause. As soon as he walked around the counter, he bowed and saluted Ming Jia.

Ming Jia also took two steps forward, reached out to help Shopkeeper Li, and found that Shopkeeper Li's eyes were already red.

"Shopkeeper Li, I came back to see how everyone is doing."

Ming Jia was originally happy to meet her old friend, but it was obvious that Shopkeeper Li's eyes were red and her nose was a little sore.

"Okay! Everything is fine!"

Shopkeeper Li lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes casually with his sleeve, then called the waiter on duty to come over and look at the store, and then led Ming Jia to the third floor.

"The year before last, Master Mingjun took the initiative to redesign the second floor, creating a lot more places for reading!"

"The third floor has also been re-planned, but your study has not been touched! Master Mingjun has also arranged the study next to you!"

“Someone is cleaning it all the time, it’s very clean!”

In the past, Mingjun spent most of his time studying at the county school. Mingjia was in charge of the business of Shiqulou, and Mingjia was the one whom shopkeeper Li was most familiar with.

After Mingjun officially took over Zhiqulou, shopkeeper Li and Mingjun cooperated well, but shopkeeper Li always felt different.

Shopkeeper Li didn't lie. The study on the third floor was indeed clean and tidy. It was obvious that someone was cleaning it from time to time.

"Shopkeeper Li, don't stand here, sit down and chat!"

"Hey!"

Shopkeeper Li was about to sit down when he suddenly slapped his forehead, turned around and ran out of the study.

"Miss Mingjia, wait a moment! I'll call Accountant Li!"

Mingjia raised her eyes and watched Shopkeeper Li run away. Staring at Shopkeeper Li's increasingly rounded back, Mingjia couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, Mingjia felt that her trip to Qu County had more meaning.

Soon, Mingjia saw two middle-aged men running side by side from the stairs.

Ming Jia grabbed Accountant Li before he could salute, stretched out his hand to support Accountant Li, and asked them both to sit down and rest.

"There is a tea stove room next to it, please bring a pot of hot tea!"

Mingjia walked outside the study, raised her finger in a direction, and told Chengwen to prepare the tea party.

Shopkeeper Li and Counter Li had just sat down when they remembered that they had forgotten to bring tea.

"Gentlemen, please sit down quickly. Shiqulou is my property. I am not a guest here, so there is no need for such hospitality!"

After four years of not seeing each other, Shopkeeper Li seems to have become a lot richer, while Accountant Li's figure has not changed much, except for the fact that his temples have a lot of gray hair.

"A few days ago, Mr. Chen Liu sent some question books, and we asked Chen Liu about the lady!"

"That's right! Mr. Chen Liu said at that time that if a young lady wears men's clothes now, she should be called a young master!"

Shopkeeper Li just now calmed down from his excitement and noticed that Ming Jia was now dressed in men's clothing. He remembered that he had just called the wrong person and felt a little apologetic.

"Shopkeeper Li, it's okay! Everyone in Qu County knows that I am a woman. If it weren't for the inconvenience of traveling, I would have thought of changing into women's clothes and going into the city."

After Mingjia comforted Shopkeeper Li, she looked at Accountant Li again. Mingjia suddenly felt guilty.

Mingjia knew that after transferring Huang Zhengqing and Chi Hua to leave, a lot of work would inevitably fall on Accountant Li, but looking at Accountant Li's hair, Mingjia felt really guilty.

"Mr. Li, you have worked hard these years!"

"Mr. Li, the children in Chengxi School who are studying accounting should choose something useful and split the tedious work out of it!"

Jin Bao, the best among the first batch of children who learned to keep accounts, is now able to take charge of his own business in the Dianzhou caravan, and the other children can also keep accounts independently.

Even if the children who have been staying in Qu County are a little less capable, they will not be too far behind.

"Thank you, Master Mingjia, for remembering me. Master Mingjun has given birth to several children a long time ago, and now he has shared a lot of accounting work!"

"My hair...is not because of errands. Master Mingjia doesn't have to feel guilty!"

As Accountant Li spoke, he gently touched his gray hair with his hand.

Mingjia heard the sadness and helplessness in Accountant Li's tone, and suddenly remembered that Accountant Li seemed to be from the Li family in Qu County, which was once a big family.

"The Li family moved to Ling County. How is it developing now?"

Ming Jia's question made Accountant Li a little silent, and Shopkeeper Li immediately answered.

"Magistrate Shi is a highly motivated person, and the Li family also has talented people. We also went to Ling County together, so naturally we have a closer relationship."

"The Li family has developed well in Ling County over the years, but if you give it up, you will get something if you give it up!"

Ming Jia nodded gently. Shopkeeper Li spoke euphemistically, but understood.

Unless Magistrate Shi is transferred from Ling County, the Li family will probably always be under Magistrate Shi's control, but Magistrate Shi is principled.

"Magistrate Shi is indeed motivated, but he is never confused about major matters and will not compromise his official career just for a little money!"

"The Li family's ability to quickly establish a foothold in Ling County must be inseparable from Magistrate Shi's help. The current close relationship is also mutually beneficial!"

Just now shopkeeper Li mentioned the situation of the Li family, Accountant Li's brows have been furrowed. Mingjia's words can be regarded as comfort to Accountant Li.

It is impossible for the Li family to want and want at the same time. They want to benefit from Magistrate Shi, but do not want to be used by Magistrate Shi. How can there be such a good thing in the world.

Magistrate Shi has a desire to climb up, so he naturally cherishes his feathers. If the Li family really wants to break off cooperation with Magistrate Shi, they will naturally be able to do so.

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than unwilling benefits!

Ming Jia's words seemed to hit Accountant Li's heart all of a sudden, and even Manager Li on the side nodded in agreement.

Mingjia talked a lot with Shopkeeper Li about the current situation of Shiqu Building, and also told Shopkeeper Li about the situation of Shiqu Building in Dianzhou and Shiqu Building in Xuzhou respectively.

Shopkeeper Li became even more excited when he heard Ming Jia say that all Shiqu Buildings would be numbered in the future, and Quxian Shiqu Building would be number one.

Mingjia also knew why shopkeeper Li was so excited before, because shopkeeper Li always thought that he would never see Mingjia in his life.

"I am thinking that Miss Mingjia is now fourteen years old, and she is probably going to get engaged and get married! Unless the lady's in-laws are from Sichuan, or... we will never see her again!"

Mingjia: "..."

"Shopkeeper Li, even if my husband's family is not from Chuanzhou, I will come back to visit from time to time!"
