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

"Shopkeeper, go and do your work! I met a friend!"

Chen Shao'ang sent away the restaurant manager and took Ming Jia into the private room with the door open. The door of the private room was always wide open.

"Greetings to Mr. Liang!"

Chen Shao'ang was the first to bow and salute, followed closely by Ming Jia who also bowed.

Liang Shengrui liked the fish and mutton dish from Qianweilou very much, and wanted to order another one before leaving Xuzhou. Not long after he sat down, all the dishes were not served, and he saw Chen Shao'ang and Xiao Mingjia passing by outside the door.

Liang Shengrui and Mingjia looked at each other through the box door, and waved to Mingjia and Chen Shao'ang to come in together. It would be quite lively for two more people to eat together!

"Sit down! Let's eat something together!"

Ming Jia glanced at the box with her peripheral vision. Shen Qing and Eunuch Li were also there, and Shen Qing was actually sitting at the round table. There was also an older man sitting opposite Shen Qing.

After Chen Shao'ang was able to stand up, he smiled and greeted the man opposite Shen Qing, calling him Governor Zhou, and then sat on the side.

Mingjia obediently acted as "Second Uncle's" little follower and stood directly behind Chen Shao'ang, becoming the only person standing in the entire box.

Ming Jia and Eunuch Li looked at each other from a distance across a round table. They are both poor people!

Not wanting to have ears across the wall, we didn't talk about anything related to assassins during the dinner. Instead, we talked about a lot of customs and customs in various states.

Chen Shao'ang's ancestral home is in Yuezhou, he studied in Jinzhou, he went to Ningzhou as an official, and now he is in Xuzhou. There are many topics to talk about.

The governor of Zhou had been an official for many years and had traveled to various states. He could talk a few words about any state or city.

The Emperor seemed to enjoy listening to them talk about the various states. This was an angle he had never heard before. It was not about asking for money during disasters, nor about taking credit for good harvests, but about the people's lives full of fireworks.

Liang Shengrui was happy to hear this, and Mingjia was also listening carefully. Who knows if there are any business opportunities in it!

Eunuch Li is a chamberlain in the palace. He always only serves nobles. In this situation, he was only responsible for making tea and water for the Supreme Emperor.

As the youngest and lowest-ranking junior, Mingjia naturally took the teapot from the waiter and started pouring tea for the others.

This kind of thing seemed normal to Ming Jia, but Chen Shao'ang felt uncomfortable when he saw it.

Mingjia did not mention his master, but only said that his father, Xiao Qingshan, was also the magistrate of Yizhou. He should be a doting young lady, so how could he do the job of making tea and pouring water?

Governor Zhou asked about Mingjia's identity, and Mingjia took the initiative to introduce himself before Chen Shaoang could speak.

"This boy Mingjia is Uncle Shao'ang's nephew!"

After saying that, Mingjia tilted her head slightly to look at the Supreme Emperor and made a naughty smile. This can't be regarded as bullying!

Governor Zhou also understands etiquette, and since he is being served by a junior who is meeting his colleagues for the first time, there will be no shortage of greeting gifts.

Mingjia got a fine jade pendant, took it with both hands and thanked her profusely.

The Supreme Emperor suddenly remembered that logically speaking, this was Xie Boyuan's disciple, and he should give him a greeting gift, and the little girl did help him.

The credit for Ming Jia's rescue will go to his father, Xiao Qingshan. After all, Xiao Qingshan is the only official in the Xiao family, but there must be a reward for Ming Jia.

Liang Shengrui looked down at the jade pendant around his waist, and after thinking about it, he took off the bead string on his wrist.

"This string of beads has been with me for more than ten years and was a gift from the abbot of Fahua Temple. Although it cannot ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, it can calm my mind!"

All right! Our Supreme Emperor is really reluctant to part with his jade pendant, but in comparison, he is more willing to part with the beads that he usually plays with!

Ming Jia was a little confused. This meeting gift seemed a bit expensive. She subconsciously looked at Chen Shao'ang, hoping that the other party would give her some advice.

"Why don't you thank Mr. Liang quickly!"

Chen Shao'ang was very happy to face Ming Jia's subconscious dependence on him, but in this case, besides accepting the thanks with both hands, what other way could he do!

After listening to Chen Shao'ang's reminder, Ming Jia realized that she had been stupid. She quickly took the gift with both hands and bowed to thank him!

Mingjia put away the gift, stood up and saw Shen Qing sitting next to him, and then... turned around and looked at Shen Qing like a ghost.

Shen Qing raised his eyes to look at Ming Jia, with a smile in his eyes, and slowly raised his empty tea cup.

"Thank you!"

Mingjia raised his eyebrows, okay! Today's harvest is already rich, not even a little bit less than that of Shen Qing.

Mingjia fetched the teapot and carefully poured Shen Qing another cup of tea.

"General Shen, please have some tea!"

Shen Qing was a little surprised. Mingjia actually knew about his official position. He didn't know why Mingjia said it was very ordinary, but Shen Qing could hear the little girl's emotions.

After the show finally ended, Chen Shaoang took Mingjia out of Qianweilou and discussed taking Mingjia to eat something quickly.

Suddenly, the waiter in the store ran out carrying a large food box.

"Mr. Chen, this guest ordered it in advance and ordered it to be taken away for you!"

"In our box?"

"Yes, he is a guest in your box! He has already paid the money!"

"Okay, thank you!"

Chen Shao'ang took the food box from the small hand, glanced at Ming Jia, and then took Ming Jia directly back to the government office.

In Chen Shao'ang's study in the backyard of the government office, a table was specially set aside for Ming Jia, and six dishes were placed there.

Mingjia came back after washing her hands, looked at several dishes, sat down happily and started eating.

Chen Shao'ang sat aside, holding a tea cup and drinking water. He did not dare to drink more water in front of the Supreme Emperor, for fear of having three urgent needs while eating.

Mingjia was indeed hungry, but she still paid attention to eating etiquette, eating slowly but gracefully.

"These are all your favorite dishes!"

Chen Shaoang seemed to mention it accidentally, and Mingjia nodded casually. She was never picky about food, and Qianweilou's cooking was good.

Chen Shao'ang realized that all Ming Jia's attention was on the food, so he didn't say anything more, put down the teacup and looked at the plate of shrimps in front of him.

Chen Shao'ang's lowered eyes were a little deep, and he tapped the table with his fingers. He remembered that Shen Qing was the only one who left the box once during the dinner, so was Shen Qing preparing these meals?

Mingjia didn't notice Chen Shao'ang's silence. After eating until he was mostly full, Mingjia began to peel the shrimp for himself.

Mingjia's fingers are nimble and he can peel shrimps quickly and well. Even Chen Shao'ang, who has lived at the seaside for many years, cannot be as skilled as Mingjia.

"I am full?"

"Well! I'm full!"

Chen Shao'ang got up and found a boy to clear the table, and took Ming Jia to sit aside and drink tea.

"When will your other partner arrive in Xuzhou?"

"Tonight at the earliest, tomorrow at the latest!"

"The time is just right, but your calculations are accurate!"

Mingjia smiled a little proudly. It didn't matter even if he couldn't make it to Xuzhou. The names of the colleges that Mingjia reported were not casually reported.

Chen Shao'ang could probably guess Ming Jia's little thoughts, but he would not expose it. Instead, he was concerned about Ming Jia's future plans.

"Do you... have any plans for the future?"
