Girl, there's something wrong with you

Cheng clan land.

"Better greetings?" Cheng Jinyang was very surprised when he heard that Wang Jinglun from the Wang family in Taiyuan was visiting.

Who is this guy?

Because of Wang Wanrou, Cheng Jinyang only knows her third brother Wang Xinzhi so far.

Of course, aristocratic families are generally more capable of producing children, and third-grade supernatural beings like Wang Maohong have many descendants, so it is normal to have some they don't recognize.

I just don’t know why this guy, whom he has never met before, paid a sudden visit. Could it be that he also came to see Wanrou?

Asking the concierge to take him to the living room first, Cheng Jinyang went to the study to find Wang Wanrou and talk about the matter.

"Oh, Jing Lun." Miss Wang put down the book, "He didn't come here just to see me... Forget it, I'll go with you."

Wang Jinglun was drinking tea in the living room, while the concierge was respectfully standing by.

Since the reception fee was increased, the quality of the tea here has also been upgraded a lot, but the concierge does not have such confidence in being able to catch the Taiyuan Wang family's discernment.

Therefore, he could only stand by and try to make up for the lack of product quality with excellent service attitude.

However, Wang Jinglun just drank the tea with a calm expression, then put down the cup without saying a word.

"Master, would you like a refill?" the concierge asked eagerly.

"Thank you." Wang Jinglun nodded and said.

So the concierge took the cup and went to change the tea bags, thinking that this young man was really easy to talk to.

The second cup of tea was quickly served. As soon as Wang Jinglun picked up the teacup, he heard a cold voice coming from outside the door:

"What's good about the tea?"

"Sister." Wang Jinglun stood up quickly, saluted Wang Wanrou respectfully, then turned to Cheng Jinyang, bowed and introduced himself.

It turned out to be my brother-in-law. Cheng Jinyang quickly returned the gift.

"Brother Jinyang." After tea for three rounds and the courtesy was over, Wang Jinglun said seriously, "I..."

"Come here to ask for help." Wang Wanrou said from the side.

"It's father..."

"I asked you to come." Wang Wanrou said calmly, "Although you don't understand why, you unconditionally trust your father's command."

Wang Jinglun:………………

His expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were slightly resentful.

"Since Jinglun is determined to join the army, it is a good thing." Cheng Jinyang quickly smoothed things over, "Jinglun, do you know the responsibilities of my other commander?"

"Jingkou is an important town with a large number of refugees. Recruiting all its brave men can stabilize the local order. This is one of the reasons." Wang Jinglun answered seriously, "Songjiang fell, the pressure on the Jianghuai River was too great, and Xiaoqi could not support the army alone. Defend Jingkou and ensure Xiaoqi. The army’s supply line will be worry-free, and when it grows stronger in the later period, it can also support the northern defense line. This is the second one.”

"Is there a third one?" Cheng Jinyang asked with a smile.

"The Cheng family in the capital city is a military family. The important task of fighting against Liyang belongs to brother Jinyang." Wang Jinglun said in a low voice.

It must be me... So everyone is not stupid. They know that Yu Zhongshu is worried that he will not be able to defeat the refugee army, so he plots against my steel giant.

Cheng Jinyang felt relieved and looked at Miss Wang, asking for her opinion.

"Although my younger brother has mediocre qualifications, he is more honest and prudent and is worthy of a long-term tenure." Wang Wanrou said, "Anyway, it's up to you."

Wang Jinglun:?

"That's good." Cheng Jinyang said seriously, "Jing Lun, I want to make you a long history, are you willing?"

"Jinglun is not talented. If you are lucky enough to be promoted, how dare you disobey?" Wang Jinglun avoided the table and thanked him.

Just looking at the direction in which he bowed, it was clear that he and Miss Wang were bowing in.

So Cheng Jinyang waved his hand and motioned for the tribesmen outside to come in and arrange a place for Wang Jinglun. General Cheng's shogunate had not yet opened, and his brother-in-law came to serve. Of course, he should be taken care of as one of his own.

After Wang Jinglun left, Cheng Jinyang smiled and said:

"Wanrou, what is the position of this long history?"

"The chief's confidant, the second-in-command position." Wang Wanrou knew that he didn't understand anything, so she explained in a simple way, "You can let him do any chores in the future."

Isn't that the Secretary-General? Cheng Jinyang suddenly realized.

He wanted to continue asking, but someone else posted a message at the concierge here, and Xie Youdu from the Xie family came.

"Isn't this someone here to ask for an official position again?" Cheng Jinyang thought to himself.

Compared with Wang Jinglun, Xie Youdu is slightly shorter, and his appearance is not as handsome as the former, but he is obviously smoother. After chatting with Cheng Jinyang for a while, he admitted that Xie Anshi asked him to come, and mentioned the conversation in the courtyard, focusing on how much Xie Anshi and Xie Lingjiang valued him.

This is very pleasant to hear. After all, the Fufeng Xie family is also a famous family, and Xie Anshi is a rising star in the political arena. His praise is always more valuable than ordinary people, so Cheng Jinyang showed a guilty look, said a few polite words, and then looked at Wang Wanrou.

"Youdu, since Uncle Xie asked you to come here, have you ever mentioned what official position you would like you to take?" Wang Wanrou asked with a smile when facing this son of the Xie family, she was not as unruly as before towards her younger brother.

"Uncle didn't mention it." Xie Youdu replied with a smile, "I would like to be a small official under the tent, just do whatever you want."

"Young official?" Wang Wanrou said hoarsely, "That's an understatement of talent. My younger brother Jinglun was appointed as a long-term historian, what do you think of it?"

"I would like to serve as the chief recordkeeper of Changshi's account." Xie Youdu said immediately.

No matter how talented he is, whether it's about family rank or elder relationship, Xie Youdu would be willing to submit to Wang Jinlun for the time being.

So Cheng Jinyang called people in from outside and asked Xie Youdu to settle down temporarily in the clan land.

Very good, the shogunate has not yet opened, and two people have already joined me, hahahaha.

Cheng Jinyang felt a little complacent and asked Wang Wanju with a smile:

"Wanrou, what is the position of the chief clerk?"

"Civil work is under the overall control of the chief historian and the chief clerk is in charge." Wang Wanrou said, "The third-in-command position."

Therefore, the chief secretary is the secretary-general, and the chief registrar is the secretary. Cheng Jinyang understood.

"Would it be a bit unfair to let Xie Youdu be the chief registrar?" He asked again to confirm.

"He brought it up himself, how could he be undermining his talents?" Wang Wanrou said with a frown.

"What if someone is humble but actually thinks very highly of himself?"

"It doesn't matter." Wang Wanrou shook her head, "It's not like the Sima of the other departments is the Sima of the regular army. It's not you who has the final say in your own shogunate? Who you want to be promoted is also your decision. What's more, do you think they have the final say? Come here to serve, are you really interested in the positions of small officials like Chang Shi and Chief Secretary?"

"That's true." Cheng Jinyang thought that it was indeed the case. It seemed that he had to change his thinking as soon as possible and look at the problem from the perspective of a leader and the overall situation.

The chief record of long history is a position that I use to cultivate my confidants. Wang Jinglun is his brother-in-law, so of course he must be trained first. Xie Youdu can investigate again and see how he is...

Before he could continue to think, the concierge came over again.

Zheng Qiupei of the Zheng family asked to see him.

Wait, why did Zheng Qiupei come to ask for an official position... Oh, she is a female dependent who already lives in the clan, so that's okay.

Under the guidance of the attendant, Zheng Qiupei also came to the living room, bowed softly to Cheng Jinyang, then exchanged a few words with the two of them, and then tactfully explained the purpose of his visit:

"Jinyang, I have been in your place for a few days, and I have not paid enough for food and clothing, so I feel uneasy. If there is any work for the Cheng family, I am willing to contribute my part..."

"Hey, Sister Xiaopei, why are you being so polite to me?" Cheng Jinyang couldn't help crying or laughing, and hurriedly comforted her, "You are a distinguished guest of my Cheng family. If you are not treated well in any way, please forgive me."

"No, no, I'm very satisfied with the life here." Zheng Qiupei said hurriedly, "It's just that if I live here for a long time, I feel a little ashamed. So I want to ask if there are any jobs like washing clothes, folding quilts, or sewing needlework..."

Cheng Jinyang was stunned when he heard this, because the other party's words didn't seem to be false, but sincere.

Good guy, you are a dignified woman with a fifth surname, but you are actually a working soldier secretly? Not feeling comfortable without working?

Something's wrong with you!

So he looked at Wang Wanrou again and said with a smile:

"Wanrou, if I remember correctly, you seem to have a batch of books recently shipped from your family. Why not ask Sister Xiaopei to help you organize them?"

"Please, Rourou!" Zheng Qiupei also clasped her hands together and said sincerely, "Let me help!"
