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

Chapter 642: The imperial court’s award comes to Dianzhou

In the winter of the third year of Guangde, the Dianzhou government office set up an incense case, and all the officials accepted the order.

In fact, there were two imperial edicts in total this time, one was sent to the Dianzhou government office, and the other was sent to a Zhuangzi outside Dianzhou city.

The Huo family has already evacuated Nanzhao in batches and has taken different routes to the outside of Dianzhou City. They only need to wait for the imperial decree to enter the city smoothly.

The imperial edict from the imperial court had just arrived. On the one hand, it was to ensure that the Huo family arrived in Dianzhou safely, and on the other hand, it was to check the situation in Nanzhao.

However, the imperial edict to the government office was to commend all officials of the Dianzhou government office, and a dedicated person was responsible for reading it loudly.

The message given to the Huo family was a secret order and was not publicized.

"It seems that senior brother really wants to reuse the Huo family!"

Secret decree! This is to protect the Huo family!

No matter how small Nanzhao is, it is still a country. The Huo family cannot afford to bear the hatred of an entire country!

Thinking about it this way, Mingjia felt that her vision in choosing allies was indeed good!

Mingjia built a small greenhouse in the backyard and raised some flowers and plants for Dong, but Mingjia took care of it most of the time.

Dong completely implemented the concept of putting on weight in autumn on Mingjia. Although Mingjia has not returned to the weight before leaving in the spring, she is much plumper than when she came back from Nanzhao.

Because neither Xiao Qingshan nor the Dong family allowed Mingjia to go out, Mingjia had no choice but to get active and pass the boring time in the house.

After listening to Chengwen's retelling of the content of the imperial edict, Mingjia knew that his father's position was about to change, and he really didn't know where he would go this time.

[I should write a letter to Master. Dianzhou was chosen by Master. Master should know where the next place is, right? 】

In the evening, Xiao Qingshan sent someone to deliver a letter in advance. He wanted to bring the government officials to a banquet for the adults from the capital.

Mrs. Dong took her two children to eat together. After the meal, Mingjia would check Mingxi's homework.

Ever since Han Yan publicly called Ming Jia "Miss", the Xiao family's servants now address Ming Jia in confusion. Some call her "Master" and some call her "Miss."

However, Mingjia's attitude was very casual and she would answer whatever was called. This only made Mingxi's child troubled for a long time.

"Miss Mingjia, the banquet in the front yard is almost over. Madam asked someone to make sobering tea. Madam sent Xiao Tao over to ask you if you want to send some to the front yard?"

"Let Brother Chengwen go to the front yard and take a look. He shouldn't have drunk too much!"

"Yes!"

Mingjia came out of Mingxi's study and took Han Yan to her yard. Mingjia's yard belonged to the front yard, so it was not far from the banquet yard.

Chengwen quickly returned from the investigation, but Chengwen's expression was a little strange, and he seemed hesitant to speak.

"You're not really drunk, are you?"

"No~! No!"

Chengwen quickly waved his hand in denial, looking at the people at the banquet who were very sober and did not look drunk at all.

"Master Mingjia, do you know who the young general is escorting the imperial edict to Dianzhou this time?"

Mingjia: "..."

When Chengwen didn't ask, Mingjia really didn't know who it was, but now that Chengwen asked, Mingjia probably guessed it.

Mingjia turned to look at Han Yan and confirmed with her eyes, while Han Yan had a confused expression.

Since Han Yan was unclear, Ming Jia turned around and asked Cheng Wen.

"Shen Qing?"

"Ok!"

In the end, Chengwen gave a positive answer because Chengwen saw someone in the front yard!

"Chengwen, the kitchen has cooked some sobering soup. You can take someone to send it over!"

"Master, the people in the front yard are not drunk, so there is no need..."

Cheng Wen thought that Master Mingjia didn't hear what he said just now, so he quickly repeated it again, and then saw Han Yan's big eyes.

After being stunned for a moment, Chengwen suddenly raised his voice and agreed, then turned around and ran out to deliver sobering soup.

……

Shen Qing had not touched a drop of wine after the dinner, but when the servants of the Xiao family were sharing the sobering soup, he also reached out...

Just because the servant who brought the sobering soup said one more thing: "My second young master has prepared sobering soup for all of you!"

Every official in the Dianzhou government office looked at Xiao Qingshan’s second son with envy!

He is also a son, and the son of the Xiao family behaves in an even-tempered manner. Mr. Xiao does not drink alcohol, but Mr. Xiao still remembers to order the kitchen to prepare sobering soup.

Thinking about his annoying son at home, other officials liked Xiao Mingjia even more.

"Master Xiao, when will your second son see each other? Many people have asked me to find out!"

"Really? I've been asking about this for several years!"

"I heard that your eldest son got married when he was sixteen, and your second son must be sixteen now!"

Xiao Qingshan's smiling face instantly turned into a sad one, and he didn't speak until everyone had finished talking.

"My wife brought Mingjia to Beijing this year, and asked the master to specifically approve Mingjia's marriage. This child's marriage is rough, and it won't happen sooner~!"

The aggrieved look on Xiao Qingshan's face, as if he was really feeling sorry for his son, immediately stunned the government officials.

In fact, Mrs. Dong told her about the method she had discussed with her daughter-in-law, and Xiao Qingshan also thought it was a good idea, so he kept trying to find a suitable time to announce it, but he never found the opportunity.

Civil strife in Nanzhao triggered the refugee problem in Dianzhou.

The refugee issue was finally resolved, and the entire Dianzhou began to be busy with the autumn harvest, and all officials were busy.

Even many officials in the government office fell ill. It was winter before all officials in the government office were on duty, and then they were faced with receiving orders.

Xiao Qingshan found an opportunity to talk about this matter. His sad and secretive look was really evocative.

Shen Qing has the highest official position among the people in the capital. He sits just opposite Xiao Qingshan and can clearly see all Xiao Qingshan's expressions.

Shen Qing held back his smile and took a sip from the hangover soup on the table. Mr. Xiao's acting skills were good.

Shen Qing doesn't know what Xiao Mingjia's fate is.

But after Mrs. Xiao and Ming Jia came to Beijing, Shen Qing knew very well whether they had been to the temple when they were in the capital.

Shen Qing fought for this job himself. Escorting the imperial edict was a trivial matter, but more importantly, protecting the Huo family's safe entry into Beijing.

Of course, these are all errands. Shen Qing wants to come to Dianzhou. He has his own purposes and ideas.

There is a court inn in Dianzhou City, but the inn is definitely better than the Fu Yamen. The master who announced the decree and Shen Qing were arranged to rest in the Fu Yamen. ,

The banquet ended relatively early, and the two people with the highest official positions did not drink. Fortunately, the officials in Dianzhou were also used to it.

After Shen Qing separated from the others, he entered his yard. When he walked to the middle of the yard, Shen Qing suddenly raised his head and glanced at the night sky.

The winter in Dianzhou was warmer than that in the capital. Shen Qing didn't even wear a cloak, so he stood quietly in the yard until he felt a little cold before turning around and entering the house.

Shen Qing thought that he would not meet Mingjia, at least not soon. However, the next morning, Shen Qing opened the door and saw Mingjia.

No, it was Shen Qing who was standing in his yard and saw Ming Jia practicing swordplay in the opposite yard through the wall!

The courtyard where Mingjia is located is obviously not a martial arts arena, but a courtyard where people usually live, so...

"Your yard is not arranged in the backyard?"
