Girl, there's something wrong with you

Fufeng Xie clan land.

"Sima of another department." Xie Anshi pondered for a moment, then asked his nephews with a smile, "The head of the Cheng family has been awarded this position. What do you think?"

The Xie family's nephews and nephews all spoke freely and started discussing. Some say that there are too many refugees in Jingkou, and an army must be recruited to ensure stability in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River; some say that the Jianghuai Xiaocai Army is facing pressure from both the north and the south, and must seek troops and supplies from Jingkou; others say that it must wait for Su Zigao's civilian army to pass After Jiang, he waited for an opportunity to attack Liyang.

"Thank you Youdu." Xie Anshi waited for everyone to finish speaking, then smiled and nodded with his scroll, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Uncle." Xie Youdu, a young man in his early twenties, calmly said with his hands raised, "I'm afraid Wang Chuzhong gave me this position."

Xie Anshi laughed when he heard this. The descendants and grandchildren around him were a little surprised, a little confused, and some showed a look of sudden enlightenment. Then they stepped back and bowed to show that they were taught.

Xie Lingjiang was sitting in the corridor at the back, looking at her uncle and brothers in the yard, and taking food from the side - there were beef tongue cakes and osmanthus cakes on the tray. She ate them very slowly, chewing them in small bites. Be silent,

What Xie Youdu said "taught by Wang Chuzhong" is actually very obvious. Since Yiguan's journey to the south, the Taiyuan Wang family has held the power of the empire in their hands by virtue of their ability to protect the emperor. There is even a saying that "the king and the horse share the world". The direct consequence was the Wang Chuzhong Rebellion.

However, even if the rebellion was put down, it was Jingzhou and the Longxiang army that were really hurt, not the Wang family in Taiyuan. There are still a large number of bureaucrats, civil servants and military officers who are disciples of the Wang family. Who can shake the status of the No. 1 family in the world?

Yu Zhongshu relied on his status as a relative and the support of the queen to suppress Wang Maohong in the central government, but was beyond his reach to the local administrative factions. The farther away from the central government, the less attention Yu Zhongshu takes. Even Su Zigao and Zu Shishao from Jiangbei met to rebel, and they also used the banner of "killing the Yu family". How dare they mention the Wang family of Taiyuan?

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Yu Zhongshu, who holds the central power, does not look for a breakthrough outside (especially the military).

She continued to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, her cheeks puffed up, and suddenly she heard Xie Anshi shouting from the other side:

"Ling Jiang, come here!"

Xie Lingjiang quickly swallowed the food in his mouth in three mouthfuls, then ran over quickly and shouted sweetly:

"Uncle Anshi!"

"Did you hear what Youdu said just now?" Xie Anshi asked with a smile.

"I heard it. I think Brother Youdu is right." Xie Lingjiang said obediently.

Hearing the words "Brother Youdu", Xie Youdu immediately showed a complicated expression.

In his early years, Xie Youdu had an eldest sister named "Tao Yuan", who was praised as "pure in heart and profound in purpose, and talented in appearance". She also had a deep relationship with Xie Youdu.

But when he was sixteen years old, Xie Taoyuan took him to see the lanterns at the Jiankang Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, and he met a monk named "Fa Lin" at the lantern festival. The monk stood guard in front of the lamp stall, looked at Xie Taoyuan's face, and sighed that she was in "Wen Ji's trouble."

Although Cai Wenji was also a talented woman, she had a rough life. First, she had an "unfavorable marriage" and her husband died of illness at a young age. Later, she suffered a "disaster from the sword" and was kidnapped by the Xiongnu outside the customs... In short, Xie Youdu was angry at that time and wanted to explode. But he was stopped by his eldest sister.

Xie Taoyuan asked if she could guess lantern riddles. The monk smiled and said "yes" and let her turn the hanging lantern on the shelf.

She picked a six-sided lamp and turned it with her hands. The hanging lantern rotated and then slowly stopped. What stopped in front of it was not a lantern riddle, but a strange Buddhist verse:

I was reincarnated without stirring up dust, and it cannot be shaken off until now.

Even if you wipe it away, it will be useless. Why abandon your body and cause and effect?

Xie Taoyuan thought for a long time and couldn't guess, so he took Xie Youdu away. As a result, he became seriously ill that night and died suddenly in the room. The reason was cerebral hemorrhage caused by a ruptured hemangioma.

Xie Youdu was in great mourning when he heard about it, and quickly told Xie Anshi about it. The Xie family searched the whole city for the monk, but they couldn't find him... and none of the surveillance cameras caught him. A few weeks later, mother Ruan found out she was pregnant again, and the matter was temporarily put to rest.

This time the baby was still a daughter. As a baby, Mrs. Ruan fell into tears and said sadly that she was the reincarnation of Tao Yuan. Finally, Xie Wuyi named her "Ling Jiang", which was Xie Tao Yuan's nickname in the past...

So Xie Youdu's attitude towards Xie Lingjiang was very strange. When she grew up to two or three years old, the elders said that she was very similar to Xie Taoyuan when she was young, and Xie Youdu was completely at a loss what to do.

My respected sister suddenly turned into a younger sister. What should I do if she still calls me Brother Youdu? Waiting online!

Xie Taoyuan once sewed a purple sachet for him before. Xie Youdu regarded it as a treasure and never left it day and night. Now that Tao Yuan has passed away and Ling Jiang is here, he doesn't even wear the sachet, which shows that his mood is complicated and difficult to describe.

After taking a look at Xie Youdu with a strange expression on his face, Xie Lingjiang thought that he could no longer tease him and said seriously:

"There is just one thing that needs to be corrected: it was not awarded by Wang Chuzhong, but was the result of Wang Chuzhong's defeat."

"What do you think?" Xie Anshi asked Xie Youdu with a smile.

Xie Lingjiang's answer included "defeat" more than Xie Youdu's, and the meaning was naturally slightly different. If it is just because we are afraid of the Wang family in Taiyuan, is it okay to get support from another family?

No, because there is only one Iron Giant God Soldier and there is no other branch.

Because of Xie Lingjiang's incident, the Fufeng Xie family was more certain than other aristocratic families about the connection between the Iron Giant Divine Soldier and Cheng Jinyang. Therefore, Xie Youdu was stunned for a moment, took half a step back respectfully, and bowed to Xie Lingjiang:

"I would like to be taught."

Xie Lingjiang:…………

She looked at Xie Anshi for help, and Xie Anshi smiled, patted her head and praised:

"My family leader Jiang Yousuhui."

Now the other people looked at her in a wrong way.

Xie Lingjiang was speechless. To be honest, she knew nothing about Xie Taoyuan, and she didn't know who she was. It was all Xie Youdu's control and random imagination. However, now that Uncle Anshi is endorsing him, everyone in the Xie family may misunderstand him.

It’s nerve-wracking.

"Youdu." Xie Anshi said again, "Have you ever considered becoming an official?"

"But it depends on uncle's arrangement." Xie Youdu said seriously.

"Then go to Jingkou's Sima and ask him for an officer." Xie Anshi laughed again, stood up, and left with his hands behind his back.

A group of Xie's disciples were left looking at each other in shock.

Taiyuan Wang clan land.

"Jinghe." Wang Maohong said leisurely in the study, "Are you interested in becoming an official?"

"Father, I still have some official business to deal with in my company." Wang Xinzhi immediately refused.

Are you kidding me? You want me to go work for my brother-in-law? I don’t want to lose face!

"Then which one of you is willing to go?" Wang Maohong was not surprised and looked at the other sons again.

After a while, someone stood up and handed over:

"Wish to go."

"Okay." Wang Maohong happily wrote a letter and asked him to take it, "Jing Lun, take my invitation and go to the Cheng family in the capital of God. You can leave today."

"Yes." Wang Jinglun nodded and said.

"Ah, this..." Wang Xinzhi was a little depressed.

I don’t want to go, so I have to let my fifth brother go? Do we, the Wang family, have to work for him?

He wanted to say something else, but Wang Maohong had already picked up the tea cup.

In the Cheng clan land of the divine capital, in the corridor outside the room.

Xing Yunzhi finally learned about this, her face was expressionless, and she held her hands in her sleeves and squeezed them secretly.

"Yuan Zhi, don't be anxious." Cheng Jinyang comforted her, "When the war is over, I will come back to marry you... huh?"

Why did I suddenly feel something bad as soon as I finished what I just said?

"It's okay." Xing Yunzhi shook her head and whispered, "For our Cheng and Xing families, this appointment is a very rare opportunity, and we must seize it well."

However, it is still very uncomfortable!

She turned around and opened the door, walked into the room, and glanced at the girls in the room.

Nominally, this appointment came from Yu Zhongshu, but Ah Zhi had a keen premonition that this matter came by such a coincidence, just before the time when she was to fulfill her engagement with Jinyang...

Everyone present must be involved in this matter!

Letting out a long breath again, she felt as if her heart had been twisted into a ball, and there was a taste of rust in her mouth, probably because she accidentally bit her lower lip just now.

First... let's take a shower and calm down...

She entered the bathroom on the front foot, and Cheng Jinyang entered the bedroom on the back foot, looking at the girls present.

He suddenly remembered a little story about putting a lot of crabs in a bucket without even looking at them. Because when any crab is about to climb out of the bucket, it will definitely be pulled down by other crabs.

Although I'm sorry for Ah Zhi, but...

It turns out that even if I don't do anything, you will hold each other back, right?
