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

"You don't have to say this to make me feel guilty. You didn't tell me in advance that you were going back to the capital. How dare you blame me for not being in the capital?"

Xu Honglei is no longer the Xu Honglei of the past, and Ming Jia's little trick can no longer deceive him.

Mingjia raised her eyebrows~!

"Why did you invite me for tea today?"

"After all, I am six years older than you. Should you call me brother?"

Ming Jia found that when chatting with Xu Honglei, they were just talking about their own things and they couldn't get along with each other at all.

"Do you usually discuss business with people like this?"

"This is how you wrote me a reply before. I thought you liked chatting like this!"

Therefore, Xu Honglei chatted like this on purpose to retaliate against Mingjia for his random replies over the years.

Mingjia was also helpless, and it was really not intentional.

Xu Honglei is a talkative person. The order in which his letters arrive in Dianzhou may not be the same as the order in which they are sent, and there are usually several letters recording the beginning and end of an incident.

Mingjia was very busy every day in Dianzhou. Sometimes she would wait a while before writing a reply. Of course, there were also times when she was busy and forgot.

As time went by, the communication content between Mingjia and Xu Honglei became even more confusing. Mingjia only responded to things she was interested in, or Mingjia only said what she wanted to say.

Mingjia sighed!

"Although I was a little messy when I replied to your letter, there was a pattern! I didn't reply to you randomly!"

"I'm not talking nonsense! I have very important news to tell you, but you have to call me brother first!"

Mingjia: "..."

"Mrs.-in-law is already pregnant with her second child, right?"

"Yes! It's just been three months!"

"Sister-in-law, it must be very hard. She is pregnant and has to take care of two children every day!"

Xu Honglei reacted and understood the meaning of Ming Jia's words.

When Ming Jia saw Xu Honglei lowering his head to drink tea and no longer talking to himself, he knew that he was sulking.

"So, Brother Xu, are you really here for something today?"

Ming Jia's words "Brother Xu" made Xu Honglei's face look much better.

Xu Honglei turned his body slightly, and then looked in Mingjia's direction.

"Have you and Shen Qing exchanged letters over the years?"

There was curiosity and inquiry in Xu Honglei's tone, but there was also an emotion that Ming Jia was very familiar with, like the inexplicable excitement when he was about to share the gossip of another mutual friend with his friends.

"In the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan, when I first arrived in Dianzhou, I received a letter from Brother Shen Qing!"

"I also wrote back saying that I arrived in Dianzhou safely, but I never contacted him again!"

"Shen Qing...what's wrong?"

If what Xu Honglei wanted to say was related to Shen Qing, Ming Jia would be very interested.

Xu Honglei adjusted his sitting posture and looked at Mingjia with an enigmatic expression, smiling.

"Not long after you left the capital, Shen Qing was thrown into the Royal Forest Army selection camp by his father!"

"Shen Qing was only fifteen years old that year. Except for Shen Qing, the youngest in the entire selection camp was also eighteen years old. I don't know how Shen Qing persisted. He really passed the selection a year later."

When Xu Honglei said these things, it could be said that he said it through gritted teeth. The better Shen Qing is, the more useless the second generation like them is.

Ming Jia really doesn't know about Shen Qing's development, but Master Shen is the commander of the palace guards, so it's normal to arrange such a path for his son!

"Is Shen Qing in the Royal Forest Army now? He can be regarded as inheriting his father's legacy!"

Xu Honglei stretched out his right index finger and shook it twice in front of Ming Jia, matching the strange expression on his face.

"Brother Xian, you want to be simple!"

"Among our young masters, Shen Qing and I have a good relationship. We can always see each other several times a year. However, since Shen Qing joined the Royal Forest Army, we have only met three times!"

"According to my guess, he was in the Royal Forest Army for the first year, and he must have changed after that..."

Seeing that Xu Honglei was still in suspense, Ming Jia exposed Xu Honglei without shame.

"So, you don't know either, right?"

Xu Honglei: "..."

"It's good if I can find out that he's not in the Royal Guards. My father didn't even find out, okay?"

Of course, Xu Honglei did not know where Shen Qing had gone, but he found out recently, but Xu Honglei did not dare to say it!

Xu Honglei went to the south to purchase goods this time. When he came back, he took a boat to Tianjin Port and rode back to the capital from Tianjin Port.

When he was in Jinggang, Xu Honglei saw Shen Qing.

Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, Xu Honglei recognized Shen Qing at a glance since they were playmates since childhood.

However, Xu Honglei only glanced at it from a distance and quickly looked away.

Ming Jia couldn't help but feel a little anxious after listening to Xu Honglei talking to him so much, but he didn't say any useful information.

Xu Honglei was just worried about Shen Qing, but he didn't know who to talk to. His father would only let him learn more from Shen Qing.

"Shen Qing's future is much smoother than yours, and you're still worried about him? Worry about yourself first!"

Ming Jia was very sensitive to the emotional changes of her friends around her. Xu Honglei, who had just been looking good at the show, suddenly became melancholy.

"I thought you wanted to share interesting facts about Shen Qing?"

Mingjia spoke up at the right time, bringing the topic back to its original track.

Xu Honglei also suddenly regained his energy, his back straightened up, and his eyes began to shine again.

"Yes! Yes! There's something interesting. Shen Qing has a marriage contract with her fingertips in her mother's womb. You know, right?"

Mingjia nodded. Xu Honglei had mentioned it in his previous letter to him. Mingjia remembered that the two families had lost contact.

But...since Xu Honglei asked this.

"Did Shen Qing's fiancée come?"

Forgive Mingjia's cliche speculation. She has watched many film and television works in her previous life. Anyway, the basic storyline is like this.

Xu Honglei was about to nod, but quickly shook his head instead.

"Not my fiancée, but my sworn brother!"

"What?"

Ming Jia's surprised expression gave Xu Honglei the satisfaction of sharing the gossip, so Xu Honglei no longer held back and told Ming Jia the whole story.

No wonder Mingjia's guess was cliché, because the story is so cliché.

To put it simply, when Commander Shen Zhi Shen was young, he made an agreement with his good brothers that if his pregnant wives gave birth to daughters or sons, they would become sworn brothers.

Of course, if there happens to be a boy and a girl, they must be husband and wife.

When Shen Qing was born, the war had not completely subsided, and the two families were separated for some reasons.

"Just a few days ago, a group of Hu merchants from the Western Regions came to the capital. It is said that the leader..."

"She is a very beautiful sister with great temperament!"

Xu Honglei wanted to add a few more words to describe it, which aroused Ming Jia's curiosity, but Ming Jia snatched it away.

Xu Honglei was stunned!

"I happened to see Hu Shang the day he entered the city. You probably didn't see her, but she is indeed a very powerful and beautiful woman."

Mingjia actually wanted to say that she was a handsome and aggressive sister, but she was really worried that Xu Honglei wouldn't understand.

"Ah~! You've seen it too, but I haven't!"
