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

On the morning of the eighth day of June, the Xiao family was bustling even before dawn. Mingjia also got up early and Mrs. Yan made breakfast.

Mingjia personally cooked several eggs for his brother and asked him to pack them and bring them to the examination room to eat. After all, he had to stay in Gongyuan for three days. Mingjia and Mrs. Yan are both careful people, and they have prepared a complete set of things for Mingjun.

Even the mugwort used to smoke mosquitoes at night was prepared, so Mingjia had to make a list and write down everything in the basket so that his brother could take it easily.

When Thirteen drove away in the carriage, it was still dark! Mingjun did not forget to poke his head out of the car window and said to Mingjia, "Jiajia, go back quickly! You can still get some sleep!"

Mingjia smiled and waved to her brother, then clenched her fists and gave her brother a cheering gesture.

Ming Jun saw his sister making this gesture. Although he didn't know the specific meaning, he could guess something after seeing it many times. Mingjun also stretched out a hand from the car window, clenched it into a fist and made the same gesture as Mingjia.

As soon as Mingjun's carriage left and Mingjia returned to the house, someone knocked on the door of Xiao's house. Shi Shi, Cheng Wen, Cheng Wu and others who stayed at home suddenly appeared in the yard.

Fourteenth went to open the door and found that the old village chief had come over. Fourteenth had heard Mrs. Yan and Amandu say before that Miss Mingjia went to the village chief's house for dinner.

Fourteen did not want Miss Mingjia to come out to deal with the old village chief, so Fourteen stood at the door with no intention of letting anyone in.

"Old village chief, you are late. Our young master's carriage has just left. Before he left, the young master told the Xiao family to close the door and thank guests until the young master comes back."

The old village chief didn't sleep all night. He couldn't help but come over when he heard the Xiao family's carriage leaving the village. He didn't have much to think about, he was just worried about how well Mingjun was preparing.

At this moment, after listening to Shi Shi's words, he realized that the Xiao family only had a little girl at home now, and it was indeed inappropriate for him to come over at this time.

The old village chief nodded, "Yeah! Thank you behind closed doors! I'll tell the villagers, please close the door!" After saying that, the old village chief walked back to his home tremblingly.

Fourteen looked at the old village chief who was walking a little unsteadily, and instantly felt a little guilty. He seemed to have gone too far just now.

Mingjia held a glass of warm water and drank it in small sips while thinking about whether she should go back and take a nap. Seeing Fourteen come in, he quickly asked: "Uncle Fourteen, who is here!"

Fourteenth recited the old village chief's arrival and the conversation just now to Mingjia. Mingjia saw this very clearly, "Thank you Uncle Fourteenth for thinking about it for me! The old village chief is a bit pedantic, but he wholeheartedly considers Tianjia Village."

If Mingjia was really a ten-year-old child, especially if she was raised by her parents, Mingjia would probably feel aggrieved by what happened at the village chief's house that day.

But, not Mingjia! Mingjia really didn't want to talk about farming culture or the old ideas about male superiority and female inferiority. She would not have touched those too heavy topics and problems that have not been solved in modern times. She would not have touched them in ancient times.

Mingjia's criterion for doing things now is whether this person is malicious and obviously hostile to me and my family.

The old village chief's family shared a table to eat, which did make Mingjia a little unhappy, but his own family also ate like this, and there was no difference in the meal.

Furthermore, Mingjia also disliked what the old village chief kept hinting at his brother. But the old village chief didn't really force his brother, or directly recommend his own juniors.

The old village chief hopes that promising villagers can help and stay in the village. With this mentality, Mingjia really can't say anything bad about the old village chief, but he is just a little generous to others.

Mingjia was quite energetic when she didn't think about these things, but when she thought about these messy things, Mingjia couldn't help but yawn. "Grandma Yan, I'll leave the family affairs to you. I'm going back to get some sleep."

Mrs. Yan has been sleeping in the same room with Mingjia recently, so she naturally knows that Miss Mingjia has not been able to sleep well every night since she returned to Tianjiacun. "Miss, go and have a rest! I'm watching over you at home!"

Mingjun went to take the exam successfully, and Mingjia was completely relieved. Mingjia almost crawled back to bed on her hands and knees, and she lay down and fell asleep instantly.

The Xiao family's yard was quiet all morning, and Mrs. Yan was sitting in the yard doing needlework. Shi Shi and Cheng Wen and others had nothing to do, so they started grinding the grain collected from the villagers' homes into powder with a stone mill.

The several guards worked in perfect harmony and did not need to make any loud noises, just grinding the stone quietly.

Suddenly, Fourteen stopped, and then Chengwen and others also stopped, all listening to what was going on outside.

Fourteenth reacted the fastest. He picked up the red tassel gun placed aside and said to Chengwen and others: "I'm going to take a look. You guys should protect Master Mingjia at home. Granny Yan, Master Mingjia has been sleeping all morning. It's time to wake up and wake up." It’s time for lunch.”

When Mrs. Yan saw the actions of the guards, she knew something was wrong. She immediately put down her sewing and got up and went back to the house to wake up Mingjia.

Fourteen had already tapped the stone mill and jumped out of the Xiao family wall. Cheng Wen and others quickly separated in twos, two people stayed in the front yard, and the other two people went to the backyard to guard.

Soon, Chengwen heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, but no sound of fighting was heard. Since Brother Fourteen didn't stop him, he shouldn't be an enemy.

Cheng Wen heard the sound of horse hoofbeats very close to the Xiao family, and was sure that they were heading straight to the Xiao family. Chengwen was hesitating about what to do when he heard the voice of his fourteenth brother: "Master Guo, Master Mingjia may have just woken up right now!"

Cheng Wen and Cheng Zhi looked at each other, "Master Guo?" Cheng Wen quickly stepped forward and opened the door, and saw that the person holding the horse outside the door was indeed Li Hansheng.

He quickly welcomed Li Hansheng into the door. At this time, Mingjia had been woken up by Granny Yan. Mingjia walked out sleepily. As soon as she left the house, she saw Uncle Li sitting in his yard.

Mingjia couldn't tell for a moment whether she was awake or not! What a real dream!

Mrs. Yan followed Ming Jia and saw the Duke in the courtyard. She was stunned for a moment, and then she quickly bowed and said hello.

Ming Jia also realized this and ran directly to Li Hansheng, "Uncle Li, why are you here?"

Li Hansheng looked at Ming Jia, who was looking at him with surprise, "The emperor sent me to the Xishan camp before. When I came back, I saw the letter from Qingyun County. I didn't feel at ease no matter what I thought, so I simply complained to the emperor. Half a month’s leave!”

Speaking of this, Li Hansheng said with some self-reproach: "Originally, I planned to arrive last night, and I could send Mingjun to the Tribute Courtyard, but it ended up being delayed for a while, and it was already broad daylight when I arrived in Qingyun County!"
