Girl, there's something wrong with you

As for Xing Yunzhi's mood, after reviewing it all morning, Cheng Jinyang thought he had a rough guess.

Jinshang died suddenly, and Prince Shigen ascended the throne. The whole process was unimaginably fast, which implied that the Gonggun princes in Taicheng had reached a collective consensus:

After experiencing Wang Chuzhong's rebellion, the Jiankang court could no longer face the next turmoil. Therefore, it is necessary to re-establish the dignity of the imperial authority as soon as possible, win over the people of the empire, and nip all possible signs of unrest in the cradle.

However, Prince Sima Shigen was only six years old, and with his youthful mind, he was unable to grasp the power of the empire. Therefore, the emperor's posthumous decree ordered the restoration of Wang Maohong, the king of Taiyuan, and he was in charge of the government together with Zhongshu Ling Yu Yuangui to assist the young emperor in handling political affairs.

To put it bluntly, it is a joint regency.

However, the nobles all knew that Yu Yuangui was strong and powerful, and would never be willing to have his power taken away by Wang Maohong. On the other hand, it is self-evident that Queen Yu Wenjun will be on whose side.

When the emperor was on the throne, the queen was just a vase ornament. However, when the emperor died, half of the political prestige was given to the queen and half to the prince. With Yu Yuangui relying on the power of the queen, Wang Maohong will naturally be at a disadvantage, and some of his power will probably be gradually transferred in the future.

As for Yu Zhongshu's bad impression of the Cheng family in the capital city, the first clues can be seen at the end of the Wang Chuzhong Rebellion. Therefore, both the Cheng and Xing families felt a great sense of crisis. During the morning's cooperation talks, they hinted to each other that they would form a "self-protection front" to jointly guard against the pressure of the new imperial court and at the same time strengthen their relationship with the Cui Lu family.

However, there was no mention of Xing Yunzhi's engagement.

If you really want to strengthen cooperation, then fulfilling the engagement contract is naturally a good starting point. Uncle Xing avoided talking about it, not knowing whether he wanted to continue to observe or wait for a price.

The former has nothing to say, but what if it is the latter?

For example, let Ah Zhi marry a potential fourth-grade child of the Cui family or the Lu family? Although there is a risk of the Xing family becoming a vassal of the Five Surnames family, it is not impossible if the court continues to force them too hard.

Thinking of this, Cheng Jinyang said warmly to Xing Yunzhi:

"Yuan Zhi, don't worry. As the new king takes the throne, Zhongshu will not do anything arrogant in the short term. Although the Xing family in Hejian did not mention the engagement between you and me, it may not be because of ulterior motives. In a few months, you If my bloodline level continues to increase, my voice in the family will be greatly enhanced."

Xing Yunzhi:?

She was stunned for a few seconds before she realized what Cheng Jinyang was talking about. She felt a sense of amusement at being misunderstood and a little sweet warmth in her heart.

“The clan leader has already told me about the marriage.” inherit."

After all, it is not too late for a woman to get married before she is thirty, and becoming a clan leader means that she can decide on her own marriage, but the conditions are somewhat harsh.

If you reach the sixth level before the age of thirty, you can definitely reach the fifth level by the age of forty. Xing Yunzhi's talent is to "rush to the fifth level" rather than "guaranteed to the fifth level". Therefore, he can achieve this goal without the help of plug-ins. It's still quite difficult.

Fortunately, since Uncle Xing promised like this, it meant that he would not forcibly marry her before he was at least thirty years old. Coupled with the assistance of dream cultivation, there is no need to worry about this matter.

So Cheng Jinyang smiled and nodded, wondering in his heart:

So what are you so unhappy about?

Then he saw a hesitant look on Xing Yunzhi's face. It took him a while to muster up the courage and said softly:

"Jinyang, tonight is the sixteenth day of the month. Although it is not the Mid-Autumn Festival, I heard that the night sky is clear and suitable for moon viewing."

Cheng Jinyang:? ? ?

The weather forecast first popped into his mind, and then Natsume Soseki's "The moonlight is beautiful tonight" popped up in his mind, and then... the night when he embraced the princess sister suddenly burst out of his memory.

Ah Zhi... Could it be that Ah Zhi knew what happened that night? ! What is she hinting at me?

After forcing himself to calm down, Cheng Jinyang asked tentatively:

"The moonlight is beautiful, but the weather is cold and the dew is cold, so I need to put on more clothes."

How could I run out at night (to have a private meeting with the princess sister) in such a cold weather, right?

Xing Yunzhi blinked and bit her lower lip.

More clothes? Is he implying that I can make clothes for him to wear?

Right. Your concubine is holding the king's body in your hand, and you are attentive to the first time. As my future wife, I also need to know my fiancé’s body size.

So she nodded and said:

"I'm going to get a measuring tape."

Cheng Jinyang:? ? ? ? ? ?

Then his mind immediately jumped out to the miserable scene of Xing Yunzhi holding a measuring tape with a cold expression, twisting his neck and dragging him on the ground.

Isn't it? I just hugged my sister all night, didn't kiss my sister, and didn't hit the bases. Do you want to hang me for this?

Wait, calm down for a moment. Why did the hanged man choose a measuring ruler? The greater possibility is to make clothes for me. But why make clothes?

Are you making a shroud for me?

Xing Yunzhi had already left the library and archives, and Cheng Jinyang walked to the window, wondering if it was too late to jump out of the window and escape.

Then I thought about it, even if Ah Zhi really turned evil and wanted to kill me, she wouldn't do it in the Cheng clan. Wouldn't it be more successful if she invited herself out to kill her?

So he calmed down again and thought about whether he should ask Brother Huaiyan to come over, so that if Ah Zhi turns black, his cousin can come to the rescue. If Ah Zhi doesn't turn black, then he can pretend that nothing happened.

I quickly sent a text message to Cheng Huaiyan. The reason was that I wanted to ask him for help on several algorithmic issues. I would like him to come to the library as soon as possible.

The latter’s reply was also brief:

good

It’s as if money will be deducted if you say one more word.

Although the reply was brief, the cousin was unambiguous in his work and soon arrived with Xing Junmo.

"Your cousin was afraid that he couldn't explain clearly, but I happened to be in Tianluo base, so I came over to help." Xing Junmo laughed and said.

Cheng Jinyang hurriedly said "No problem", thinking that indeed, with his cousin's style of cherishing words like gold, teaching practical knowledge is okay, but explaining theoretical knowledge is really not good.

He took out a few questions he had prepared a long time ago and pretended to ask his two cousins.

"Hey, isn't this the seventh-grade algorithm?" Xing Junmo was greatly surprised, "Have you been promoted to seventh-grade?"

"Last week happened to be a breakthrough." Cheng Jinyang said humbly.

Xing Junmo showed an expression of disbelief.

If he remembered correctly, around May this year, Cheng Jinyang, who was still from a humble family, only had ninth-grade blood, with a concentration of over 100 horses.

In just over half a year, he has been promoted to the seventh level, and his bloodline concentration has exceeded 10,000 horses? Isn’t that a natural growth value of 1,500 horses per month on average?

This is only eighteen years old! When he reaches the age of 20 or 30, the natural growth value will be further improved. What is the concept?

Guaranteed level 5, sprint to level 4!

(Children of normal aristocratic families usually rise by one rank in a ten-year cycle. That is to say, Cheng Jinyang has reached the seventh rank at the age of twenty. Then he will reach the sixth rank before the age of thirty, and the fifth rank before the age of forty. It will be reached in six or seven years. At the peak of the bloodline, you can almost sprint to the fourth level, and the probability of success is not small)

"Jinyang, with your current potential, I think the patriarch has no reason to continue to interfere with your engagement with Qingfeng." After coming back to his senses, Xing Junmo expressed congratulations.

"Waiting for your wedding." Cheng Huaiyan also showed a rare smile.

"Jinyang, do you prefer a coat or a robe..." Xing Yunzhi's voice came from outside. When she walked into the library with a measuring tape, she saw two cousins ​​turning back and looking at her in surprise.

Then they both looked "Oh~" at the same time: the bride-to-be had already started designing a dress for the groom.

Xing Yunzhi's face turned red.
