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

On the third day after Ming Jun's birthday, the official from Chuanzhou City came late to deliver the official document. At the same time, the family members of Shen County Cheng and Shi County Lieutenant were sent, and the meaning was obvious. They all have to live in the county government office. I hope the county magistrate will vacate the yard in advance.

Originally, several families lived in the backyard of the county government office. Now that the county magistrate and county captain will take office in the next year, the Xiao family will have to resettle and adjust their residence.

Xiao Qingshan and Dong studied the information of the other two families for a while. In fact, Shen Xian Cheng made arrangements very easily, because Shen Xian Cheng would come to Qu County alone without his family members. All you need to do is leave a small yard in the front yard, and the yard next to Xie Boyuan's yard happens to be unused.

The problem is that Shixianwei's family is not easy to arrange. Shixianwei is the eldest son in the family. The old couple of the Shi family will also come to take up their posts, and Shixian Lieutenant also has a concubine.

Shixian Wei had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son and second daughter were the children of his legitimate wife. Now, the eldest son is 12 years old, which is a good time to study hard. The second daughter is also 9 years old and has reached the age where she needs to live independently.

Mrs. Dong endured it for a while but finally couldn't hold it back any longer. She pointed at the concubine of Lieutenant Shi on the letter and said, "This can't be in the same courtyard as Mrs. Shi!" Then she pointed at Lieutenant Shi's 9-year-old concubine and asked: " You can't put a concubine and a disciple in the same courtyard, right?"

Xiao Qingshan was thinking that the yard in the county government office that was still empty was not enough at all! Do we still need to find someone to build a few more yards?

Finally, Mrs. Dong hesitated and said, "Why don't you let Mingjun move to the front yard to live with Master Yuan!" Mingjun was already eight years old, so it was normal for a wealthy family to move to the front yard.

Looking at Shixian Lieutenant's daughter, Mrs. Dong hesitated. Logically speaking, it's okay to be in the same courtyard as Mingjia, and the two little girls take care of each other. But Ms. Dong felt that her daughter Mingjia was only 5 years old after her birthday, and Ms. Dong was worried that her daughter would be bullied.

Ms. Dong thought it would be better to let her daughter move back to the main courtyard, so that her daughter's carefully decorated courtyard would be occupied by others. Not to mention that her daughter couldn't bear it, even Mr. Dong himself couldn't bear it.

Mrs. Shui watched the master and his wife worrying from the side. She thought about it and made her own suggestion: the Shi family couple and their eldest grandson live in the same courtyard, so that they can be close to each other. Mr. and Mrs. Shi Xianwei took Miss Shi to a courtyard. As for the aunt and the concubine, it's fine.

Mrs. Dong asked puzzledly: "My bastard is already 9 years old. Wouldn't it be bad to share the same courtyard with my aunt?" Mrs. Shui knew that her wife was kind-hearted, but her aunt was only half a master, and the second young master of the Shi family was the master.

Even in the homes of minor officials in the capital, the whole family is crowded into the second-level house. It was common for an aunt to live in the same courtyard with her concubine and concubine. The county government office in Qu County was much more spacious than those.

"In that case, Mingjia won't have to move back." Ms. Dong vaguely felt that with this arrangement, the Shi family would suggest that Miss Shi and Mingjia live together.

Ms. Dong thought it would be better to ask Mingjia what she meant first. In the past, Ms. Dong felt that Mingjia was too individual. But now she wishes that her daughter would have a stronger character so that she would not be bullied by Miss Shi's family.

Mingjia was reading the account books of Zhiqulou in the small study room in her yard when she suddenly heard Mrs. Yan say in the yard: "Madam, miss's small study room." She quickly put down the account books and stood up to welcome Mr. Dong in.

Mr. Dong rarely comes to Mingjia's small study room. There were some empty bookshelves last time, but now they look much fuller. Knowing that her daughter was very sensible now, Mrs. Dong didn't hide it and told Ming Jia about the situation of the Shi family.

Finally, Ms. Dong said directly: "Mom originally planned to help you move back to your yard, but I also know that you like this yard very much. But if Mrs. Shi proposed to let Miss Shi live in the same yard with you, after all, your father and Mr. Shi We have to work together.”

Mrs. Dong hopes that her daughter will make her own choice, and Mingjia understands her mother's dilemma. Thinking that her brother had moved to the front yard to live with Uncle Yuan, Mingjia was still a little tempted and wanted to live in the front yard because it was convenient to go out, but she was a girl after all.

"Mom, I want to move to the yard where my brother lives now. That yard is larger and can be divided into two smaller yards." Mingjia thought for a while and said.

"How can that be done? Mingjun's current yard is just bigger and not well repaired. It's far worse than your current yard." Mrs. Dong didn't want her daughter to be wronged. And the separated yard is much smaller than my daughter’s current yard.

Ming Jia felt that her mother really didn't want to part with this warm little courtyard: "Mom, I get up early every day to practice martial arts with my brother. Then, I study in the study room. In the afternoon, I study embroidery and rules in the main courtyard. By the way, I also have to learn martial arts with you. Let’s learn about jewelry and clothing together.”

Mingjia hasn't finished her dinner yet, and usually goes to the study for at least two hours. Then she would return to her yard. In fact, she spent very little time in her yard a day.

Moreover, Mrs. Yan said that the young lady, who will be 5 years old soon, needs to learn an instrument, dance, or poetry and painting. By the way, after the age of 8, you have to start learning housekeeping, accounting books and cooking skills.

In short, she will continue to add a lot of homework in the future. Mingjia often thinks: Who said that women from aristocratic families are only enjoying themselves? Mingjia didn't want to move back to the main courtyard, and she was afraid that her schedule would be discovered by Mr. Dong, and she didn't want to live in the same courtyard with other people.

Mingjia couldn't help but think, why not just change into men's clothes and become the second son of the Xiao family. In this way, the eldest son of the Xiao family takes the imperial examination and pursues an official career. The second son is engaged in business and is filial to his parents.

She didn't even dare to have this idea, because she was afraid that this idea would instantly take root in her mind and grow wildly. Of course, she was also afraid that this idea would scare her parents.

After understanding her daughter's thoughts, Ms. Dong understood her daughter's desire to live in a separate courtyard by herself. Even if it is a smaller yard, Ms. Dong finally said that she would arrange for Mingjun to move to the front yard as soon as possible and free up the yard first.

So, little Mingjun, who had just celebrated his 8th birthday a few days ago. I left the backyard completely and moved to the front yard to live with Master. Ms. Dong was still a little reluctant to let go of her son, feeling a bit like mother and son were separated.

Mingjun is too old to be held. But Mingjia was held in her mother's arms, watching her mother wiping her tears, or wiping her tears in secret. Mingjia asked her brother for help with her eyes: "Come quickly and persuade mother."

"You're in my mother's arms, so it's best to advise her. Quickly, act like a baby!" Mingjun also responded to his sister with his eyes.

Xiao Qingshan had just ordered the boy to send all his son's things to the front yard. When he came back, he saw his wife wiping tears. The son and daughter were quarreling with their eyes. These two miserable naughty children didn't know how to comfort Ms. Dong quickly.

"Zhenniang, yo~~! Zhenniang, don't be sad. The distance from here to Mingjun's yard is about the same as to the front yard. If you want to see Mingjun, just go over and see him at any time. At worst, let him have three meals a day Come back and eat.”

Xiao Qingshan hurried in to coax his wife in person, not forgetting to glare at Mingjun and Mingjia: "Come on, say something nice."

Mingjun and Mingjia: "Yes~ Mom! Daddy is right!"
