For tea parties in Daxia, it is customary to choose places with beautiful scenery and vast areas.

Lakeside, lawns and groves are all common addresses, just like the ones chosen by young lovers.

There are most rivers and streams near Shaonan, and the Greenland Manor in Hewan is a good choice.

Mr. Liu returned to work with good reason, while Mrs. Liu slowly headed to the villa in a four-wheeled carriage, followed by the neatly dressed Cheng Jinzhou. He was riding "Zhufeng", wearing a small windbreaker and half-length breeches, and was dressed like a 16-year-old aristocratic boy.

God knows how many aristocratic young men in Daxia can have such powerful playfulness.

After a year of training, the Anya thoroughbred horse has become even more impressive, with a height of 2 meters. In a world dominated by ponies, it is like a horse standing in a herd. If you want to compare, an ordinary horse will slow down if one person sits on it, and two people can hardly run. Only this kind of tall thoroughbred horse can seat several people on the horse and perform various magical movements.

After being carefully dressed up by the maids of the Liu family, Cheng Jinzhou couldn't bear the original look. Apart from the fact that he didn't put on makeup or makeup, he was now no different from the pretty boy in the singing.

It's easy for pretty boys to seduce young girls, and the makeup isn't for nothing.

The folk customs of Daxia are very conservative, and ethics absolutely dominate. But in the well-informed aristocratic world, everyone subconsciously prefers the holy religion of freedom - freedom is not a belief, but the natural laziness of people. Because it is rooted in human genes, it is more valuable than money and nobler than love.

It is the time for a 16-year-old boy to roam and run on the grass and chat with the little girl with half-understood philosophy and biology. Cheng Jinzhou was dragged into a tea party by his mother-in-law, but he was only allowed to watch others wander around and stay at a table with a group of ladies.

These are the real seven aunts and eight aunts, and they are cousins ​​with noble titles. If any of them is a baroness, they will be embarrassed to show their faces. The Viscountess had to help everyone bring tea and water.

Even though the previous two generations of the Cheng family were considered to be in decline, the number of noble ladies in the family has actually increased - because men have ordinary positions, women often have to travel between the palace and the palace to accompany the concubines. This is also The default unspoken rules in the aristocratic circle. In return, ladies' grades are often one and a half grades higher than those of their husbands. Anyway, Feng Yin cannot be hereditary, so the royal family is not stingy.

Everyone grabbed Cheng Jinzhou to talk and asked about this and that. The old lady of the Cheng family was also surrounded in the center of the crowd. She is someone who has experienced politics. She knows that the three-star warlock, coupled with the status of the Dawn Sacrifice and the "God's Favorite", is particularly happy to see him suffer.

Dr. Cheng Da was very relaxed. Even if Mrs. Bo smiled, she would still talk to the women. He hadn't rested for a while. He was sitting at the round table under the eaves, enjoying the gentle breeze blowing from the river and drinking the fragrant tea - if it could calm his ears, this would be a good place to take a vacation.

As everyone was talking, they naturally asked about Liu Qingshuang.

It was hard for Xiao Cheng to say something like "If someone crosses the border before they die, how can they start a family?" He was choked out after two or three sentences.

A countess from the Kang family, relying on her identity, said with emotion: "Men always think about different women. He doesn't feel at ease when a woman is around him, and he is afraid when a woman is outside. You little At your age, why did you leave your fiancée outside?"

What she said was enough, and the sensible ladies immediately fell silent. Mrs. Liu glared at her fiercely, and then looked at Mrs. Cheng.

In fact, it is impossible to say that she is not worried. Cheng Jinzhou's status rose sharply, and Gao Pan's marriage had not yet been finalized, so it became a reverse mismatch. He pulled Cheng Jinzhou over, more or less to get close to him.

When Cheng Jinzhou heard what the woman said, he couldn't help but ponder for a moment and said: "I was preparing to attack the Northern Han Dynasty that day, so I took Qingshuang away. Since everything in the Northern Han Dynasty is settled, it's better to take him back. The airship is also A matter of two days.”

Only then did the ladies realize that the young man they were squeezing in front of them was actually a guy capable of launching a foreign war. Thinking of this, they gradually became restrained when they talked to Cheng Jinzhou.

Seeing this, the old lady quickly said: "Jinzhou, go down and talk to the others. There are many officials inside, all from nearby provinces."

Cheng Jinzhou left as he was told, and the ladies above returned to their original state.

It took a few minutes to write a note and hand over the task of picking up Liu Qingshuang to Shi Mo, and Cheng Jinzhou started wandering around the river.

The nobles like their tea parties to be big. Except for the size of the pastries and barbecues, which have not changed, the shrubs surrounding the river bank are all neatly built. The advantage of artificial turf is that it is clean. If it is a real grassland, the ground under the grass will be either running water from unknown sources or animal feces from unknown sources. Occasionally, there will be unidentified animal carcasses rotting underneath. That is really far away. A place that should not be viewed or played with.

As for the rested lawn, if you are willing to spend the manpower and financial resources equivalent to building a forest, then you can naturally create a clean, tidy and flat grassland. Boys and girls can sit on the grass in twos and threes, which is a very good enjoyment. Occasionally, they will There are boys and girls who have overdue service, sandwiched among the juniors, still having a great time.

Cheng Jinzhou felt as if he had returned to the carefree school life. After wandering for a while, he couldn't help but use the star array to fly to a certain tree and observe the bottom.

In a short while, four literati carried food boxes and got into the woods where he was. After they started to have a picnic, Cheng Jinzhou was too embarrassed to come down, so he simply lay down on top and listened to what they said. What.

The four literati were all from Ningzhou Province. Because they did not bother to be the ninth-rank official, they stayed at home and talked about the pros and cons of the court every day. Several people talked and talked about the debt repayment of the four provinces.

The information they knew came from the imperial newspaper, which was inevitably biased, but what one of them said caught Cheng Jinzhou's attention, and they heard that person say: "I heard that the businessmen three months ago had already received all the taxes. "Many people are now waiting to receive their second month's taxes. I think if this continues, all the tax sources in the four provinces will be sucked up by them."

"So what, it's hard to defeat De'an."

"Shh." Someone immediately said cautiously: "This is the home base of the Cheng family. I don't want to be separated from you and other heavenly beings forever after a game."

Several people immediately laughed and cursed, and another said: "I heard that Warlock Gaotang Longxing is also here, I don't know what the situation is."

"There is no way a fourth-level star warlock can fight against a fourth-level star warlock." Recently, star warlocks have appeared so frequently that even the general public has begun to understand the division of strength among star warlocks. A year ago, this information was only available for reference by senior officials of the imperial court. The Star Alliance and the Templar have never wanted to associate themselves with naked power battles. This is because the Star Warriors are discriminated against.

When the literati spoke, they would always be followed by romance after three and a half sentences. Amid their comments and admirations, Cheng Jinzhou began to ponder to himself.

If three months of tariffs are returned now, it seems that it will become a legal problem whether the tax exemption policy will continue to be implemented in the future. But if the zero-tariff status is always maintained, free ports such as Hong Kong will naturally be very prosperous, but in terms of the development of the entire Daxia, it is actually unfavorable.

When Cheng Jinzhou is where he is today, he is no longer just thinking about De'an. And if he can control the entire Daxia tariff system, he will be even more powerful.

His thinking would have no results in a short time, but he heard someone shouting "Cheng Jinzhou" below.

Dr. Cheng Da flew up strangely, stirring up a fallen leaf.

There are many star warlocks in Shaonan, but there are not many 16-year-old star warlocks. How could they not know that the person above them was Cheng Jinzhou, and their faces turned pale with fear.

The person who called him was Weng Xilian. She also belongs to one of the most powerful families in the capital. Although she does not obey family discipline, invitations to the tea party must be sent out.

Ever since she aspired to become a star warlock, Weng Xilian rarely came to the gathering places of nobles. She wore a pure black robe that covered her whole body. She was obviously not dressed for a banquet.

"What's going on?" Cheng Jinzhou was wearing polo attire, looking like a golfer meeting a biologist.

"It seems that a special star warlock has arrived. Warlock Jiang Huangxing asked me to come to you." Weng Xilian blinked her big eyes and said something serious, but a narrow smile appeared on her face.

Cheng Jinzhou was ashamed of the look of oily hair and powdered noodles, but he wanted to explain: "This is the trend now."

"I know." Weng Xilian pursed her lips. She had not really left the social circle.

Cheng Jinzhou shook his head and laughed, and asked: "How special is that special status of a star warlock?"

Weng Xilian showed a strange smile and said: "This person did not reveal his identity, but he wants to take Zhao Yeyu away, saying that he wants to accept him as his apprentice."

"Zhao Yeyu? He doesn't mind it." Of course Cheng Jinzhou remembered the young lady who spoke righteously and sternly. If he joins the church, he would be sorry for his innocent and selfless face if he doesn't get the most pious title.

Weng Xilian also knows this junior member of the Zhao family. Among the grandchildren of this generation, Zhao Yeyu must be the most favored one. If the Zhao family hadn't declined at a speed visible to the naked eye, with his status, it would not be difficult to find a star warlock master.

Considering his relationship with the Zhao family, Cheng Jinzhou couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and asked, "What kind of special magic is that star warlock?"

Weng Xilian thought for a moment and said: "It seems that he made a special trip to take Zhao Yeyu away. His whole body was covered with black cloth, and he didn't even show his glasses. When he was over Shaonan City, he was discovered by Li Xianfengxian Warlock, and later If Warlock Jiang Huangxing hadn't taken action, Zhao Yeyu might have really been taken away."

"Did Warlock Jiang Huangxing capture him?"

Weng Xilian shook her head in surprise. Two fourth-level star warlocks took action, which was beyond Cheng Jinzhou's expectation.

While he was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound in the sky, and then two consecutive crashing sounds were heard on the slope not far away.
