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

Ming Jia did not go to see Xu Honglei in the end, but instead went to Li Guogong's house.

"Uncle Li, do we have female instructors in our court?"

Mingjia didn't want Han Yan to be embarrassed, so she thought it was okay to ask Li Hansheng about this matter, but Mingjia didn't avoid Han Yan when asking people.

Li Hansheng looked at Ming Jia's sudden visit and happily asked the boy to get Ming Jia's favorite snacks. After listening to Ming Jia's words, he turned his head and thought for a while.

"Of course there are. After all, there are many female secret guards. Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

Mingjia glanced sideways at Han Yan, didn't ask any more questions, and asked Mingxi instead.

"Mingxi does have a talent for martial arts, but are your parents willing to let Mingxi take up martial arts?"

"I'm probably willing to give it up. After all, the Xiao family's resources are limited, so it would be nice to be able to take different paths separately."

Li Hansheng nodded. If Mingjia didn't mention asking Li Hansheng to lead Mingxi, Li Hansheng wouldn't take the initiative to mention it.

Mingxi is indeed lively and cute, but she is not a satisfactory heir to Li Hansheng.

Among the three children of the Xiao family, Li Hansheng has always been most satisfied with Mingjia, the little girl who dared to lie to him when they first met.

He, Li Hansheng, doesn't have to have an offspring. There are many women who want to give him children. He is not a person who has no fish, and can also do with shrimps.

Therefore, Li Hansheng looked at Mingjia quietly, while Mingjia lowered her head and ate snacks, as if she was unaware of Li Hansheng's gaze.

If Mingxi wants to practice martial arts, Mingjia will find a martial arts master for Mingxi, but she can't push it to Li Hansheng.

"Uncle Li, ask your servants to pack Mingxi's things. I will take him back in a minute!"

"it is good!"

After hearing Ming Jia's words, Li Hansheng smiled. Ming Jia understood him.

When Mingxi came over, Li Hansheng chatted with Mingjia about other things, focusing on several chats with the Supreme Emperor.

"The Emperor seems to be very interested in your elementary school, and he often goes to Shiqu Building to have tea, especially when there is a scholar debate competition in Shiqu Building."

Wang Duo wrote letters and mentioned it to Ming Jia several times, but after all, he just went to drink tea and listen to the debate. Ming Jia only asked Wang Duo to pay attention.

Now, Li Hansheng mentioned the primary school again, and Mingjia had to take it to heart.

Three days later, Mingjia went out with her brother.

Today, Mingjun made an appointment with a few friends, while Mingjia made an appointment with Xie Zhiqiu, but they were all at the teahouse in Shiqu Building.

Thanks to Li Hansheng mentioning it to Ming Jia in advance, Ming Jia also told his brother when he got home, otherwise the brother and sister would have been shocked when they suddenly met the Supreme Emperor in Zhiqu Building.

"Student Xiao Mingjun has met the Supreme Emperor!"

"My daughter Xiao Mingjia has met the Supreme Emperor!"

Liang Shengrui felt dumbfounded when he saw that Mingjia was still dressed as a man, performing scholarly etiquette but calling herself a minister.

"Everyone get up!"

"I haven't seen you for more than two years, you are already a big girl!"

Liang Shengrui looked at Ming Jia and sighed like an elder. Even his tone was very similar to that of an elder in his family.

"I would like to thank the Supreme Emperor for the gift of hairpins. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to express my gratitude to the Supreme Emperor!"

Last year, when Mingjia got her haircut, Mrs. Dong really wanted to hold a big wedding ceremony for Mingjia, but Mingjia herself didn't want to do it, so Ms. Dong had to respect Mingjia's idea.

There was no wedding ceremony, but Mingjia received many gifts. The most special one was the gift given by the Supreme Emperor.

"you deserved!"

Ming Jun and Ming Jia's hearts trembled when the Emperor said these words. The brother and sister looked at each other silently, and no one dared to ask further questions.

"Your brother and sister came to Shiqulou together, but you made an appointment?"

"When I went back to the Supreme Emperor, I did make an appointment with some friends!"

"Go, it's time for me to return to the palace. I'll be free in two days, and I'll chat with you again!"

Liang Shengrui waved his hand, signaling the brothers and sisters to get down, and then turned around and left the tea room.

Mingjun and Mingjia looked at each other and immediately bowed.

"Congratulations to the Emperor!"

"Congratulations to the Emperor!"

One of Mingjun's friends today is also known to Mingjia. He is Li Shuan, the son of the former governor of Yuzhou. However, Li Shuan's father was transferred to Beijing last year.

Mingjun asked Mingjia if he wanted to say hello. Mingjia thought about it and let it go. She didn't want to get involved with more people.

The brother and sister separated after leaving the tea room. Mingjia went to her own tea room on the third floor. Xie Zhiqiu was already waiting for her.

"Thank you, madam, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting!"

"It's okay, the shopkeeper just came and explained it!"

Xie Zhiqiu is still dressed in plain clothes, but there are some traces of time in the corners of her eyes. It seems that after the Xie family was liquidated, her life will not be easy!

"you……"

Mingjia looked at Xie Zhiqiu's face and suddenly became speechless. Mingjia wanted to comfort Xie Zhiqiu in a modern way, but found that after sixteen years, she had forgotten what to say.

Mingjia lowered his head and smiled bitterly. How could he still look like a modern person?

Xie Zhiqiu saw the embarrassment in Ming Jia's expression, lowered her head and smiled, but comforted Ming Jia.

"I am living a good life. Although the department store does not belong to me, the Emperor still lets me take care of it!"

As long as Xie Zhiqiu was still working for the emperor, those thoughtful people in the capital would only dare to plot secretly, but would not dare to actually hurt her.

Mingjia did not miss the loneliness in Xie Zhiqiu's eyes. Mingjia wanted to ask Xie Zhiqiu, did she really think that continuing to manage the department store was considered a favor?

But Mingjia couldn't ask because Han An and Han Yan were guarding the door.

Mingjia can’t ask! !

Xie Zhiqiu suddenly saw something was wrong with Ming Jia's expression, and her eye circles were a little red. Xie Zhiqiu's first reaction was to turn back and look in the direction of the door.

【Don’t cry! 】

After confirming that the door was closed, Xie Zhiqiu turned around and whispered quietly to Mingjia, telling Mingjia not to cry or feel sorry for her.

Mingjia suddenly picked up the teacup in front of her and poured all the scalding tea into her mouth. Then Mingjia took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth and eyes.

"Any ideas for the future?"

"You know, the ultimate ideal in life is to retire early!"

Xie Zhiqiu smiled at Mingjia. It would be easy for her to retire, but it would be difficult to leave the capital safely and find a place where she could retire safely.

Naturally, Ming Jia could think of this and looked at Xie Zhiqiu with a frown on her face.

Seeing Ming Jia's expression, Xie Zhiqiu wanted to make Ming Jia happy.

"I am single now and have money with me. I can retire whenever I want;"

"Unlike some people, they are parents and elder brother, and they also have a younger brother to consider. I'm afraid it will take many more years of hard work!"

Ming Jia didn't feel troubled after hearing Xie Zhiqiu's words. After all, she had already made her own plans.

"I've written down your story. If I have a chance, I..."

"Forget it, it's useless to tell you in advance!"

Mingjia waved her hand. She also wanted to help Xie Zhiqiu, but since the royal family was involved, what Mingjia could do was limited.

Xie Zhiqiu understands Mingjia's helplessness. Xie Zhiqiu is very happy that Mingjia has this intention.
