When Dr. Zhang heard Ming Jia's words, his eyes began to sparkle. Doctor Zhang had actually been thinking about the prescription in Taifu Xie's hand that contained several poisons.

Since returning from Chuanzhou, Doctor Zhang has spent a lot of energy on studying poisons. The medicinal materials in his arms were bought by him at a great price.

Dianzhou appears in many poisonous prescriptions recorded in medical books, and Dr. Zhang has longed for Dianzhou. Now that he heard that Xiao Qingshan had gone to serve as the prefectural magistrate of Dianzhou, Doctor Zhang suddenly felt excited that "I have connections."

Doctor Zhang directly wanted to invite Mingjia to his home for lunch, but Mingjia declined with a smile, "Doctor Zhang, my father has an old friend in Beijing. He has agreed to visit him today. If you want to find me, you can go to Zhiqu Building."

Doctor Zhang did know that there was also a Shiqulou in the capital. He originally thought it had the same name, but he didn't expect that it was actually Mingjia's property.

Doctor Zhang suddenly asked Mingjia in a low voice: "Will there be a small medical school in the capital?" Mingjia immediately looked serious and shook his head quickly. Doing this in the capital is just looking for trouble.

Doctor Zhang looked at Ming Jia's serious expression and knew that he had not thought carefully. "Then I have delayed my little friend. I will go to Shiqulou to look for you tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to Dr. Zhang, Ming Jia stepped into the carriage and went straight to Li Hansheng's house.

In Li Guogong's house, Li Hansheng was originally the only master, and he was still not interested in festivals. In recent years, people have become less interested in celebrating festivals, but this year the Duke is uncharacteristically different.

Since Xie's Department Store in Beijing launched many mooncake flavors a few years ago, it has also introduced many more zongzi flavors. This year, the Duke of Guo ordered a batch of rice dumplings in advance.

Butler Li looked at the Duke of Guo who was personally taking care of all the preparations for the Dragon Boat Festival. He couldn't help but want to cry. It was rare to see such an energetic Duke of Guo.

Butler Li asked Shen Qi privately about the details of the Xiao family. Master Mingjun was the eldest son, but Master Mingjia was the second son. Moreover, Master Mingjun is a scholar, but Master Mingjia is a martial artist!

Butler Li thinks that Young Master Mingjia can stay in the capital and practice martial arts with the Duke of Guo, and so many of his own bodyguards can also practice martial arts with Young Master Mingjia.

Of course, these are Butler Li's own thoughts, and he plans to find an opportunity to mention them to the Duke.

Mingjia came back a little late, and lunch was already on the table. Mingjia stretched her head while washing her hands and looked at the rice dumplings tied with different colored ropes on the table.

"Egg yolk mooncakes haven't been introduced to Sichuan, so I came to the capital on my own!" Mingjia couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart.

Although there were only two people at lunch, Li Hansheng and Ming Jia, they were still talking and laughing. After lunch, Li Hansheng asked someone to serve tea. While drinking tea, he said to Ming Jia: "Do you have any plans for the afternoon?"

Mingjia had no plans for the afternoon, so she shook her head happily. Li Hansheng's mood suddenly rose a lot, "Okay, come with me to a tea party this afternoon!"

Ming Jia was a little confused and couldn't figure out why Li Hansheng suddenly took her to a tea party. Li Hansheng was awkward for a while and then explained: "Every year at this time, Ning Shihui is Ning Guogong, and he likes to hold tea banquets at his house."

Ming Jia looked at Li Hansheng, who was a little awkward, and wondered in her heart, maybe it was a banquet for Xiu Yixiu's children!

Li Hansheng took Ming Jia out here, and Xu Shengyuan also got the news. Xu Shengyuan quickly stood up, walked around the room, turned to the boy and said, "Go to the eldest young master's yard and bring Mao'er!"

The eldest grandson of the Xu family, Xu Anmao, is only three years old this year. He usually spends time in his parents' yard. Xu Shengyuan is also rare about his eldest grandson, but he rarely hugs his grandson because he is too young.

There is really nothing we can do today. The old son is not at home, and the concubines cannot be taken out. At the critical moment, the eldest grandson has to take over.

Xu Shengyuan carried his eldest grandson out of the house in person, without calling for a carriage and walked out directly. The news spread throughout Xu Mansion at once, and no one knew what each room thought.

Li Hansheng and Xu Shengyuan arrived at Duke Ning's residence one after another. Many people were already coming in and out of Duke Ning's residence.

First, it was during the war. One year, the Dragon Boat Festival coincided with the victory of the war. At that time, only Ning Shihui's daughter-in-law was with the army, so Ning Shihui took a few generals back to have a meal.

Everyone drank a lot at that time, and they agreed that as long as they were alive, they would come to Ning's house to get together on the Dragon Boat Festival, even if it was just for a cup of tea.

On the way here, Ming Jia heard Li Hansheng talk about the golden honors he had received over the years, all because of the recommendation of Mrs. Ning Guogong. Then, Mingjia also listened to the deeds of Mrs. Ning Guo when she was young.

"The group of sisters who surround the heroine in the original work!" Ming Jia instantly changed her view of her golden status. Isn’t it normal for such a heroic general’s wife to like bright and flamboyant accessories?

Mingjia was originally a little resistant to this kind of gathering of elders, but now Mingjia can't wait to speed up. She feels a little excited to see her idol.

Li Hansheng looked at Ming Jia, who was walking a little unsteadily beside him, and stretched out his hand to hold Ming Jia's shoulders, and deliberately reminded: "Your soft sword is to save your life in critical moments. Don't expose it easily outside."

Ming Jia nodded quickly after hearing this, "Yeah! I know! The last time was at Uncle Li's house, otherwise I wouldn't have used the soft sword."

Li Hansheng liked the closeness in Mingjia's tone very much, but he still reminded Mingjia: "I won't follow you to the backyard, and Mrs. Yan didn't follow either. You have to go to the Ning family's backyard by yourself later."

Ming Jia nodded when she heard this. She felt that Mrs. Yan's sudden physical discomfort was a bit strange. "Uncle Li, is there anything I should pay attention to?"

Li Hansheng shook his head. Ning Shihui and his wife were a poor and humble couple. They supported each other and lived very lovingly until today. Back then, Ning Shihui was trapped in the mountains during the war, and the roads were blocked by heavy snow. Logistics personnel who were unfamiliar with the road conditions were unable to deliver supplies.

It was Mrs. Ning who found the local Orion and promised him a lot of money. In the end, the Orion took people over the mountains to deliver the supplies. Ning Shihui and many generals were able to survive.

Therefore, the Ning family's backyard is very clean. Ning Shihui and his wife had a total of four sons and two daughters alive. The daughters were all married, and the four sons were all married.

Li Hansheng thought for a long time but didn't think there was anything Ming Jia needed to pay attention to. Finally, he said, "There are many boys in the Ning family, and they are all naughty. Stay away!"
