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

After Ming Jia and Song Shaowu separated, they stopped going to the study and went directly out of the side door of the government office to the house in the back alley.

"Uncle Liu, ask your people to keep an eye on Song Shaowu for me! Look who he usually plays with. Only when he leaves the government office will I find an opportunity to break his legs!"

Ming Jia regretted extremely that she had confessed to Yang Tingxuan as soon as possible, otherwise Ming Jia would have killed Song Shaowu directly. Now she can only break his legs and let him lie at home for a few months.

If Yang Tingxuan had not found the evidence of Counselor Song's crime before Song Shaowu's leg recovered and dealt with the Song family, then Mingjia would not recommend taking action himself.

Since Da Liu handed over the tracking of people to Yang Zhizhou's people, he has been wandering around the city recently to inquire about the caravan.

It was rare that I didn't go out today, so I met Master Mingjia coming to give instructions.

"Master, this Song Shaowu seems to have no friends in Dianzhou City!"

Da Liu only hesitated for a moment and said that their people had been watching Song Shaowu for a month, but they didn't see any friends in Song Shaowu.

"He has been in Dianzhou for almost four years. Doesn't he usually hang out with his friends?"

Ming Jia felt that something was really wrong with this Song Shaowu.

"Master, you have been in Sichuan for six years and you haven't made any friends!"

Da Liu didn't understand these young ladies from the official family, but after thinking about the young ladies from the Xiao family, he thought that maybe it was normal!

Mingjia was speechless for a moment. How could she and her brother Mingjun be normal?

"My brother and Huang Jiawen are good friends. As for me... I have more interesting things! I..."

Ming Jia stopped talking in the middle of the sentence. She had an ominous premonition. If Song Shaowu was also more interested in something, what would it be?

Mingjia began to have pictures in his mind, neatly stacked in a dry well and buried layer by layer in the soil of the garden. The more Mingjia thought about it, the uglier his face became.

"He... Where does Song Shaowu usually go when he goes out? Is the village outside the city some kind of remote house?"

Da Liu opened his eyes and looked at Master Mingjia. How did the young master know?

Ming Jia felt that there was no need to wait three months. It was uncertain how long it would take for Staff Song to fall, but Song Shaowu should be around soon.

"Da Liu, take a few brave and careful people to search the village or house where Song Shaowu often goes!"

"Well...you must be brave!"

Mingjia warned again worriedly, and Da Liu immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Master, what are we looking for?"

Da Liu suddenly became a little unsure about what he was going to search for.

Mingjia is actually just guessing, and it may not be a human being, it may be a small animal.

"Look at the flower beds or dry wells. If it's a village outside the city, you may need to expand the scope and look at the nearby mountains!"

Ming Jia made it so obvious that Da Liu naturally understood it.

"Okay! I'll take people to check now!"

Mingjia returned to the government office and met Yang Tingxuan's personal servant Jinyan at the side gate. Jinyan said that a servant of this level would not leave his master easily.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Mingjia had some guesses in her mind and walked over to meet Jinyan's gaze.

"I've met Second Young Master Xiao! My master asked me to bring a few words to Second Young Master!"

As soon as Mingjia approached, Jinyan bowed and saluted.

"Brother Jinyan, please speak!"

"My master is concerned about Master Mingjia's studies, so he sent me down to ask Master Mingjia if he has ever read "Mencius: Wholeheartedness"?"

After Jin Yan finished speaking, Ming Jia rolled her eyes in her heart, but she still had to smile on her face.

"Excuse me, brother Jinyan, for making this trip. I've learned a lesson!"

Jin Yan was actually very embarrassed. When the Third Master went back just now, he had been cursing Master Mingjia.

When Yang Tingxuan asked Jin Yan to convey a message, his words were not so elegant, but Jin Yan did not dare to convey the message directly.

Mingjia said goodbye and went back to the study without saying anything more to Jinyan. She had to go back to look at the account books and calculate the money. After the new year, the medicinal material Zhuangzi will be fully launched.

Although it had only been a few days, the expenses were quite high. Chi Hua had already sent someone to deliver the account books once.

Mingjia understood what Chi Hua meant, but the money she had set aside was also useful. After many years, Mingjia once again experienced the headache of having no money.

"Shuang'er, go and tell Xia Lian that you should carry weapons with you when you take care of Mingxi from now on!"

"what?"

Shuang'er was startled by her young master's sudden order. Sister Xia Lian's kung fu was the best among the three of them. She had been working in the kitchen for these years and was very alert.

Shuang'er's surprise made Mingjia feel inappropriate. After thinking about it, Mingjia squatted down and took out the dagger hidden in her boots, then took it out and handed it to Shuang'er.

"Send this to Xia Lian!"

Shuang'er didn't dare to hesitate anymore, took the dagger with both hands and left quickly.

After sending Shuang'er away, Mingjia sat at the desk and recalled what happened in the corridor just now. Mingjia was at least 50% sure of beating Song Shaowu down.

The remaining 50% certainty is just a tie with Song Shaowu. In short, Mingjia can guarantee that he will not suffer a loss.

But...the aftermath...well...it's not easy to solve!

After calming down, Mingjia had to admit that he was indeed a bit reckless. After all, there were still many risks.

But... Mingjia admits it in her heart, but not with her mouth!

"If daggers and soft swords fail, isn't there poison?"

"You dare to threaten me with Mingxi, I really shouldn't let him go like this!"

Thinking of this, Mingjia thought of Yang Tingxuan who suddenly interrupted them. Of course, Mingjia knew that Yang Tingxuan had good intentions.

Otherwise, how could Yang Tingxuan send someone to educate her alone!

Mencius said in the second sentence of "Mencius: Full Heart": "Is it the destiny to obey its righteousness? Therefore, those who know the destiny will not stand under the rock wall. Those who die while doing their best are righteous lives; shackling the dead is not the right destiny." Right livelihood."

Translated, it is a sentence that everyone in later generations will be familiar with: A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!

Knowing that Song Shaowu was a dangerous person and approaching him on his own initiative was indeed not a wise move.

Ming Jia was just like after an argument with someone, he silently reviewed the situation and found that he had not performed well just now.

Finally, Mingjia concluded: I should carry a red tassel gun with me and break Song Shaowu's leg directly!

Mingjia, who finally reviewed the accounts, took out the account books and began to calculate the accounts. Mingjia did not read these to check whether anyone was embezzling and making false accounts.

Mingjia looks at which items the investment is sufficient and which ones require more investment.

For example, in order to facilitate the cultivation of Panax notoginseng seedlings, Mingjia now thinks that a platform made of soil embryos will be enough.

This is the first year of breeding. The space in Zhuangzi is still sufficient, and there is no need to build a three-story wooden frame!

Mingjia read the account book from beginning to end, even reading it twice, and finally discovered that Chi Hua had taken frugality to the extreme.

If it weren't for the wooden shelf drawings Ming Jia drew himself last year, Chi Hua would have omitted this item long ago.
