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

"You might as well go to the capital to accompany Master and Uncle Li!"

Mingjia suggested that she wanted to live in Beijing for a while. Mingjun felt that he had been away from Beijing for a year, so it would be a good idea for his sister to live in Beijing for a while.

So Mingjia packed his small bag and headed north to the capital with his three regular partners: Thirteen, Fourteen and Hanyan.

After Mingjia arrived in Beijing, his daily schedule was very full.

When he lived in the Taifu Mansion, he got up early to escort his master to the morning court, then returned to the mansion to practice martial arts and eat breakfast, and then went out to check on the businesses everywhere.

After living there for more than ten days, Mingjia was taken to live in the Duke's Mansion by Li Hansheng.

Then... Mingjia directly started the summer martial arts special training class, and Li Hansheng and Lingquan were the ones who gave the special training personally.

Mingjia lived in the Duke's Mansion, not far from the Shen Mansion. On this day, it was rare that Commander Shen was at home on vacation, so Mingjia took Han Yanhe to visit him.

This was the first time Shen Zhi had met Mingjia like this, coming directly to his door without a visiting card. However, when he heard that Mingjia was from Li Hansheng's house, he thought for a moment and asked the doorman to bring her in.

"Xiao Mingjia meets Commander Shen! After not seeing him for many years, Commander Shen is still as charming as ever!"

"It's really you! I haven't seen you for many years, and you have changed a lot!"

Shen Qing was secretly calculating in his mind. The last time he saw this kid was in Xuzhou, and it was nine years ago.

Mingjia turned around, took a long brocade box from Hanyan's hand, held it in both hands and placed it on the table next to Shen Zhi.

"I accompanied my brother to Xuzhou to take up his post. I was in the mood for fun and revisited Tonglin County. When I passed by a temple, I saw that it was very popular. Out of curiosity, I took people in to take a look!"

"It turns out that the person enshrined in the temple is not a deity or Buddha, but a man who saved many fishermen. The fishermen built a shrine for him on their own initiative!"

As Mingjia spoke, she pointed to the scroll in the brocade box. When she was painting this picture, she was considering whether to send it to the Shen Mansion in the capital.

After hearing Mingjia's words, Shen Zhi's expression became more serious and he looked down at the folded scroll.

Is this...what he guessed?

For the first time, Mingjia saw a confused look on Commander Shen's face, and secretly admired the way Commander Shen frowned.

[Commander Shen must have been very handsome when he was young, and he is still a handsome uncle when he is old! ]

Han Yan had been standing by, paying attention to the atmosphere between Commander Shen and Mingjia, intending to take Miss Mingjia away from the Shen Mansion as soon as there were any bad signs.

However, at this moment, Han Yan's heart was really... frightened. Miss Mingjia looked at Commander Shen with such focused eyes!

Shen Zhi finally reached out and slowly opened the scroll. Mingjia's painting skills were good, and because it was closer to modern realistic painting methods, Shen Zhi recognized the prototype of the sculpture at a glance.

"Shen feels guilty for what he has done. It was you who discovered the clues, and it was you who proposed the compensation for the fishermen..."

"Commander Shen is too modest. I have already received the reward I deserve, and the amount of compensation was not small. Commander Shen was also under a lot of pressure!"

Mingjia thought for a moment and added, "This is the reward for Commander Shen's kindness!"

"Humph!"

Shen Zhi snorted coldly. He said he was kind-hearted?

Looking at the entire Daliang, Mingjia is probably the only one who thinks of him like this!

"I am a few years older than your father, Xiao Qingshan. You can call me Uncle Shen."

Mingjia used his ability to take advantage of others and immediately clasped his hands together and bowed.

"Yes, Uncle Shen!"

Shen Zhi didn’t know that Mingjia had his token in his hand, he just felt that he, Xie Boyuan and Li Hansheng were in the same camp, and he really admired Mingjia.

Mingjia didn't stay in the Shen Mansion for long. He delivered the painting and left. Mingjia was not allowed to have too much social interaction with Commander Shen.

After leaving the Shen Mansion, Mingjia went to visit Granny Yan's house again.

The way Granny Yan dresses now is very different from when she was in the Xiao family. She has the demeanor of an old noble.

"Granny Yan, I'm here to see you!"

"Ms. Mingjia, come quickly!"

Mrs. Yan really didn't expect that Miss Mingjia would actually come to the capital to see her. Looking at the child she raised, her eyes became moist.

"Look, I've become more beautiful again!"

Seeing that Mrs. Yan was about to cry, Mingjia quickly opened his arms and turned around exaggeratedly, trying to make Mrs. Yan happy.

But Mingjia obviously forgot how well Mrs. Yan knew him.

"Miss is always beautiful!"

Mother Yan wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and took Mingjia's hand and walked into the yard. She had prepared many good things for Mingjia.

The Yan Mansion not only has Mingjia's favorite food, but also many good things collected by Mrs. Yan over the years. Mingjia's principle is to eat and not take.

When Mingjia left, she promised Mrs. Yan many times that she would come to see her again at the Yan Mansion. Only then did Mrs. Yan see Mingjia off with tears in her eyes.

When Mingjun lived in the capital, he would often come to see Mrs. Yan. Of course, the ones who came most often were Chen Xiaoliu and Shuang'er.

……

When Shen Qing came home from work, he heard from the servants that his father had stayed in the study the whole afternoon and went back to the study after dinner.

Shen Qing frowned and stopped walking back to his yard. After thinking for a while, he turned around and went to his father's study. Shen Qing thought that his father had encountered some difficulties on duty.

"Father, I'm coming in!"

Although it was late summer, the weather was still a little hot, and the door of Shen Zhi's study in the front yard was open.

Shen Qing stretched out his hand and knocked on the study door a few times. He leaned forward slightly and seemed to see his father's back. He should be looking at the painting on the opposite wall.

"Shen Qing, come in! Are you ready?"

"Yes, did father encounter any...difficulties?"

Shen Qing walked towards the study as he spoke. When he saw his father turn around and look at him, he couldn't help but glance at the painting on the wall out of the corner of his eye.

Then... Shen Qing almost bit his tongue. He just saw his father's...portrait?

It wasn't a difficult matter, but Shen Zhi was in a complicated mood, so since Mingjia left, Shen Zhi had been staying in the study.

Because of what Mingjia said, Shen Zhi has been thinking about his behavior in his life. He has investigated many cases for two emperors, but this is the first time he has been thanked by the people like this.

"sit!"

Shen Zhi sat back at the desk and raised his hand to motion for his son Shen Qing to sit down as well. He also wanted to chat with his son today.

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Xiao Mingjun. His sister Xiao Mingjia came today and told me some of her experiences in Xuzhou..."

"..."

Shen Qing could no longer hear what his father was saying. Now his head was filled with only one voice: Mingjia, come to my house today!

Fortunately, Shen Qing reacted well. Before his father noticed that he was distracted, he quickly gathered his attention and concentrated on listening to what his father was saying.

The illegal gold mining case in Xuzhou at that time also involved the remnants of the previous dynasty, and many of the inside stories were prohibited from being disclosed.

As for Mingjia's role in it, it was completely hidden because of the special care of the emperor.

It was the first time Shen Qing heard his father talk about it. He learned that his father had discussed the resettlement of the abducted fishermen with Mingjia in Xuzhou.
