"Butler Fu, my wife brought you some gadgets from Dianzhou. I also want to thank you for taking care of Master Mingjun!"

Mrs. Shui won't stuff Fu Jie's wallet. A servant of Fu Jie's level wants more than just money.

"Thank you madam. It's really hard to live up to your kindness. Granny Shui, do you think I'll arrange for everyone to greet madam early tomorrow morning? Is it convenient?"

"Then let's do it tomorrow! Let the madam and the two young masters recognize their faces. After all, we are all a family, so it's hard to be embarrassed."

Fu Jie and Mrs. Shui agreed on tomorrow's affairs and hurriedly left. They didn't immediately take away his housekeeper's rights when they met for the first time, which was enough to give him face.

Mingjun and Mingjia sat and drank tea peacefully, watching Dong and Fujie chatting quietly, without any intention of helping.

When Mrs. Dong saw Fu Jie and Mrs. Shui walking away, she turned around and glared at the brother and sister, and said helplessly.

"You two really don't help me! If you lose face, you two will lose face with Mr. Yuan!"

On the way to the capital, Ming Jia told Dong the real name and identity of Master Xie Boyuan. Although Dong was surprised by the identity of the original master, she quickly accepted it.

However, whenever he mentioned Xie Boyuan, Dong still used to call him Mr. Yuan.

"Mom handled it very well, I don't need to say anything more, and you can take back the housekeeping rights if you want!"

"That's right! Mom~! You are the mistress of the Xiao family, so why do you need to worry about the housekeeper's face?"

Mrs. Dong looked at the two brothers and sisters singing in harmony and waved her hands quickly, as if she didn't want any housekeeping rights.

"I've spent all my money managing the little family property in Dianzhou. I'm completely blind here in the capital. How good it would be if Jinglan married in and let Fujie be handed over to Jinglan directly!"

Mingjun was originally smiling, but after hearing his mother's words, his smile immediately disappeared.

"Mother~! Jinglan is young, do you want her to take care of the house after she gets married?"

"Otherwise? Should we wait until next year to let her take over the housekeeping power with a pregnant belly?"

Mrs. Dong heard from Mrs. Shui and Mrs. Yan that housekeeping power was a big deal in this wealthy family, and only a daughter-in-law whose mother-in-law was very satisfied could manage the house.

Mingjun didn't know how to explain to his mother for a moment, and looked for Mrs. Shui with his eyes, only to remember that Mrs. Shui had not come back yet after she went out to see someone off.

"Pfft~! Hahahaha..."

Mingjia couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. Her brother's helpless look was so funny.

"Mom~! What my brother means is that you are still in the capital, and Sister Jinglan is taking care of the house as soon as she gets married. Outsiders will say that Sister Jinglan may even say that Dingyuan Hou Mansion is too domineering!"

Mrs. Dong understands, so this stewardship power cannot be withheld, and it cannot be given too early!

"Jinglan is the next matron of my Xiao family, why do I need to care about other people's opinions!"

Why did Mingjia feel that these words were so familiar? It seemed like she had just persuaded her mother like this!

Finally, Mingjia also agreed that Jinglan would directly take over the housekeeping rights. Because Dong said it was not convenient for Jinglan to take over, she asked Mingjia to help manage it for a while.

In fact, Mingjia always felt that she was in conflict with the capital, and it was impossible for her to take care of her brother's house. If it weren't for the fact that the Shiqu Building in the capital was her own property, she would have wanted her brother to take charge of it.

[But...it seems that Sister Jinglan can help me manage the industry~! 】

Yang Jinglan was concentrating on checking the dowry list with her mother. She had no idea that she was already being considered by several people.

The Dong family does not take over the family power, but it is still necessary to know the servants in the family and to encourage them who have ideas.

Mingjun and Mingjia both wanted to stay with Mr. Dong, but they were rejected by Mr. Dong. She didn't need her son to follow suit for such a trivial matter.

"Mom, it's enough to have Mrs. Shui and Mrs. Yan here. You two can go about your business!"

Ming Jia left Han Yan with Dong, and it was enough for Thirteen and Fourteen to follow him around the capital.

There was no male master in the Xiao family, and it was inconvenient for Xie Boyuan and Li Hansheng to come, so Mingjun took Mingjia and Mingxi to visit.

Both Xie Boyuan and Li Hansheng met Mingxi for the first time. Mingxi's character is so lovable, sweet-tongued and has no bottom line in flattery.

"Uncle Xie, your pastries are so delicious! They are the best Mingxi has ever tasted!"

"Mingxi really likes the gift Uncle Xie gave Mingxi. Mingxi will definitely wear it every day!"

"Uncle Li, Mingxi finally sees you! Mingxi has wanted to come to see you for a long time!"

Mingxi is simply a puppy wagging its tail crazily. Mingjun and Mingjia are already embarrassed and trying to find a crack in the ground to crawl in!

Xie Boyuan and Li Hansheng were completely immersed in Mingxi's flattery. They even forgot that Mingjia was here and completely ignored Mingjia's existence.

Mingjun and Mingjia stood in the corner of the study room. Mingjun turned his head slightly and looked at Mingjia with a look that was hard to explain.

"Little brother... did you learn this look from you?"

"Brother~! Why are you swearing? When did you see me like this?"

"That's right! You're very stiff when you flatter me! You're not as smooth as Mingxi!"

Mingjia: "..."

Fine! My brother was right!

Ming Jun and Ming Jia were still chatting when they suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the other side of the study. Both Xie Boyuan and Li Hansheng were laughing and looking in Ming Jia's direction.

Mingjia's tongue touched her left cheek. Is it too late for her to leave now?

Yes, both Xie Boyuan and Li Hansheng knew that Mingjia sent someone to pretend to be a kidnapper to kidnap Mingxi, but Mingxi discovered and exposed the fact.

Mingjun's eyes widened and he turned his head to look at Mingjia in disbelief.

"So, you arrived three days later than originally planned?"

"Ok!"

Mingjia crossed her arms and turned her head to the other side. She really didn't want to see her brother's suppressed smile, which made her want to start a fight.

In the end, Mingxi hung on Li Hansheng's neck and followed Li Hansheng back to the Duke's Mansion.

Mingxi's reason was that he wanted to practice martial arts with Uncle Li tomorrow morning, so he wanted to sleep at Uncle Li's house tonight.

In fact...only Mingjia and Mingxi knew the real reason. Mingxi just didn't want to be physically punished by her second brother.

Until Li Hansheng took Mingxi away, Xie Boyuan was sent outside the gate, and finally returned to the study reluctantly.

"Mingjun, Mingjia, what are you doing standing there? Sit down!"

"Master, you finally see your cute little apprentice!"

Mingjia said in a yin-yang tone, she really didn't expect that one day she would fall out of favor.

"Hmph! You can't even remember me as your master, so naturally I won't remember you as my disciple either!"

Mingjia suddenly lost her arrogance, she really cheated herself a bit.

Ever since Xie Boyuan accidentally found out, Ming Jia and Chen Shao'ang cooperated to sell patent medicine overseas, but he had no idea about it.

Xie Boyuan often talked about this matter, and Mingjia had indeed kept it a secret, so he was inevitably a little guilty.

"Master~! Mingjia knows that he was wrong. Mingjia will not dare to do it again!"

Mingjia imitated Mingxi's appearance and tone just now, which suddenly made both Xie Boyuan and Mingjun shiver.

"Xiao Mingjia, how old are you!"

"sixteen!"

Mingjia said that by the time she reached her age, she had returned to normal. She also felt that she was a little unable to accept the state she was in just now.

The three masters and apprentices joked with each other for a while, and then they all sat down and started talking about business.
