While having breakfast, Xiao Qingshan was still asleep. Mingjun and Mingjia did not disturb their father's rest and went to the study after dinner. Now, both brothers and sisters have a full schedule of courses.

Mingjia continued to read the books that Xie Boyuan had brought from the capital. There were now nearly a hundred books stored in Shiqu Building. If this amount of books were placed in modern times, it might not be as good as the library corner of an elementary school class, but in ancient times this was already a very large bookstore.

Shopkeeper Li recently said many times that many students from the prefecture came to Qu County to buy books. There are even people who pay high prices and want to jump in line to borrow question books on the second floor. Of course, most of them want to know when the third floor will be open.

Mingjia has several ideas for the future planning of Zhiqulou, but she needs to discuss them all with Xie Boyuan. On the one hand, Xie Boyuan was the major shareholder and contributed the most capital. More importantly, Xie Boyuan knew better the rules of survival for scholars in this dynasty.

At present, the books in Zhiqulou are still partial teaching aids for imperial examinations. A very small number of travel notes written by great Confucian scholars are based on their insights from various articles during their study tours.

Uncle Yuan's friend sent the second batch of title books some time ago, and some of them were articles by Jiangnan talents. Originally, Mingjia wanted to copy it before the big gathering, so that he could make a lot of money.

But Uncle Yuan said he was worried that there would be no new question books for some time in the future, and suggested not to update them all at once. Mingjia didn't know which friends Uncle Yuan had found, but she didn't contribute. It would be great to have a new question book now.

Mingjun suddenly exclaimed: "Jiajia, is this what you are looking for?" Mingjia looked at her brother, why didn't she know what she was looking for.

Mingjia looked at the cover of the book handed over by his brother: "Essential Techniques for Elevating the People". Daliang actually had this book. It was a book she had seen in Chinese textbooks and history textbooks. She thought that history had taken a wrong turn in the past and this book was gone.

I saw my brother directly turning to a page, and then pointed out to Mingjia, "Here is a method for long-term storage of pears in clay pots or porcelain vases."

Mingjia looked at a few words: "Make a raft first, use small pears, water stains and mud in the bottle, from autumn to spring, to mid-winter, you can also use it." He also said: "Peel the skin and cut the whole body." Cut it thinly, add pear juice to it, add a little honey to make it sweet, and seal it with mud."

Ming Jia suddenly thought of the evaluation of "Essentials for Qi Min" in the history books: a comprehensive agricultural work, one of the world's agricultural history monographs, and the earliest complete agricultural book in existence.

"Ancestor, you have not deceived me!" Mingjia was so happy, she was indeed looking for this. Mingjun thinks his sister is very strange, what does this have to do with the ancestors.

Mingjia copied this text and left directly with Mrs. Yan. She wanted to do a test while she could still buy fresh fruit to see the feasibility of this method.

When Xie Boyuan came to the study, he only saw Ming Jun reading alone. Xie Boyuan didn't ask or disturb Mingjun. He sat in his seat and thought about things.

Xie Boyuan admired little girl Mingjia's adaptability and ability to analyze things yesterday. If it were a boy, Xie Boyuan would definitely do everything possible to accept him as his disciple. But Mingjia was a girl, and the ladies from the aristocratic families in the Liang Dynasty did not like daughters-in-law who were too opinionated.

Xie Boyuan suddenly saw the plan for the subsequent development of Zhiqulou that Mingjia had written before leaving. Mingjia listed all the development directions he could think of and what needed to be done accordingly. Even what you can do now and what you need help with are noted.

There is not a single nonsense word in the entire plan, and it all goes straight to the point. He remembered the reply he received from the emperor saying that the emperor was looking forward to Chuanzhou's Qiu Wei results next year. Looking at the plan in his hand, Xie Boyuan felt that he might be trapped in the northwest in the next ten years.

Mrs. Dong was very happy now that her daughter, who was rarely in the study, came to the backyard to spend time with her. Finally, I found out that my daughter saw a kind of food in a book and wanted to make it herself.

My daughter is almost five years old and is not much taller than the stove. She actually wanted to learn cooking skills. Mrs. Dong thought her daughter might be greedy. But she was happy to play with her daughter. He picked up Mingjia and went shopping with his two wives.

Xiao Qingshan woke up and found that his wife had taken her daughter shopping, and her son was studying with his master. No one cares about him anymore, he is still hungry. Fortunately, Mrs. Dong took her daughter to buy fruits and earthen pots and came back soon.

Seeing that Xiao Qingshan had woken up, he quickly called Xiao Qingshan to help: "Come here, take a look at the food recipes that Jiajia copied from the book. Can you explain to us two what it means?" Dong and Mingjia studied together on the way. After looking at this recipe, I found that I couldn't understand it.

Suddenly being needed by his wife and daughter, Xiao Qingshan felt very happy and hurried over to pick up his daughter. With a silly smile on his face, he promised to help the two of them cook together.

Ming Jia watched her father suddenly change from aggrieved to excited now, she really couldn't see it! "Dad, have you found the child from the Li family?"

Ms. Dong also thought of her lost child yesterday and looked at her husband nervously. Xiao Qingshan paused for a moment, then said with a smile: "I found it. Shisan and his people found it outside the city, and it was a little frightened. It needs to be taken care of for a while."

After hearing this, Mr. Dong breathed a sigh of relief and called God to bless him! From his father's reaction and answers, Mingjia guessed that this child might not only be a little frightened, but also need to be raised for a long time from the tone of his voice.

Mingjia felt that she would take this opportunity to talk to her parents about her and her brother's martial arts practice. Mingjun is a boy who admires people who know kung fu, while Mingjia simply wants to learn some means of self-protection.

"After Mom and Dad get married, can my brother and I learn martial arts from Fourth Uncle Cheng early?" Mingjia twisted her body so that she could look at her dad's face.

Xiao Qingshan has always planned to let his son learn some boxing and kung fu, but he never thought about his daughter: "Originally, I planned to let your brother practice martial arts with Cheng Si next year. It would be good to start early."

There was a pause, then he looked at his daughter and continued: "Learning martial arts is very tiring, just let my brother practice martial arts to protect you."

Mingjia disagreed with this view in her heart and said directly: "Master Sun of the Li family has so many people following him, but something happened. I think I can protect myself."

Mrs. Dong originally did not approve of her daughter practicing martial arts, but after hearing this, she felt that it was good for girls to learn some kung fu to protect themselves. Ms. Dong looked at her husband and nodded gently to express her support for her daughter's martial arts practice.

When Xiao Qingshan saw that his wife agreed, her daughter wanted to learn. Besides, there is nothing wrong with practicing martial arts, but he hopes that his daughter will not come to him crying in two days. "Since you want to learn, you can't give up easily. You have to think about it."

Mingjia was very happy that his father agreed to let him practice martial arts. He raised his chin and said, "Why am I crying? Do you think I am a three-year-old child?"
