Girl, there's something wrong with you

Soon, the fleet of aristocratic families arrived at Jingkou Town along the river.

This time, in addition to Wang Cui, Lu, Zheng, and Li families, there were also Yang family from Hongnong, Chu family from Yangdi, and other famous families who transferred to Jingkou this time.

Therefore, Cheng Jinyang did not dare to neglect and hurriedly brought people to greet him.

As for why the Wu surname family took the lead in coming to Jingkou instead of Wuchang where the emperor and Yu Zhongshu were, Cheng Jinyang went back and asked the girls, only to find out that everyone had informed the elders of the family about arriving at the fifth rank.

Generally speaking, the attitude of the family with the fifth surname is quite normal. The Chu family and the Yang family are overjoyed. Their daughter has reached the fifth rank before she is 20 years old. Will she not be guaranteed to be a third rank in the future?

More importantly, everyone gathered around Cheng Jinyang, which made everyone stop thinking too much.

The current view of the Five Surnames is that this nine-member team, including Cheng Jinyang, must have mastered some special blood-blasting method.

As for whether Cheng Jinyang owns it, it's hard to say.

If so, how to explain that the Cheng family in the capital city still only has a fifth rank like him?

By extending this blood-exploding method and creating dozens of guaranteed third-grade ones in the capital city of Cheng, the emperor, not to mention the five surnamed families, can directly abdicate in favor of a worthy person.

In other words, either this method is not owned by Cheng Jinyang, and it is not his decision whether to promote it subjectively; or it is that it objectively does not meet the conditions for large-scale promotion.

No matter what the situation is, the explosive blood thing is much more attractive than the Iron Giant Divine Soldier.

The latter...at least the third-rank members of the five surnamed families can still fight together. The former will definitely surrender directly - they are all brothers of the noble clan. Please take me to fly with you. If you have any price, just offer it!

After a symbolic tour at Jingkou, most of the aristocratic families took the overland route south, bypassing Taihu Lake and heading to Lin'an City.

However, including the five surnamed families, plus the Chu family of Yangzhai, the Yang family of Hongnong, and the Xing family of Hejian, a total of eight families continued to stay in the Cheng clan area of ​​​​Jingkou in the name of gentry exchanges and taking care of their daughters.

"Jinyang." Chu Jino was the first to find Cheng Jinyang in private. After a few polite words, he got down to the topic and asked, "I heard that you are engaged to a daughter of the Xing family?"

Cheng Jinyang was confused when he heard this, and Chu Jiye himself felt embarrassed when he asked. After all, marriage is something that both parents should sit down and discuss. How can the father-in-law directly ask the son-in-law?

However, Cheng Jinyang's parents are no longer here. Ask the clan leader, he is the clan leader himself. Are there any other elders? No more, they are all dead.

So I can only ask Cheng Jinyang himself.

"Yes." Cheng Jinyang replied cautiously, "It was the marriage contract made by my father during his lifetime."

"That's it." Chu Jino twirled his beard and said with a smile, "The Cheng and Xing families are of the same spirit, so it is understandable that your father made a marriage contract. Although it is difficult to violate your parents' orders, you are now the head of the Cheng clan. We should take a longer view.”

"Of course, I'm not saying that the Xing family in Hejian is not good, but the Chu family in Yangdi and the Cheng family in Shendu are also very close. Remember? We have always been the largest supplier of military equipment in Tianluo."

Cheng Jinyang nodded quickly in agreement.

It is true that the Chu family in Yangdi has always supplied a large amount of military equipment to the Cheng family in the capital city, but this is purely a business transaction, where money and goods are exchanged, and there is no friendship between the families...

Like the Hejian Xing family, the members have been married and intermarried for a long time, and they also share intelligence. Even speaking to the outside world requires the two families to be unified first. Is that what we call "joining the same spirit and connecting branches"?

Of course, since Chu Jiye intends to close the relationship at this time, Cheng Jinyang will not directly refute the other party's face, otherwise Qingqing will come over with metal cutting later.

He was humble and flattering, and his words were impeccable, saying, "My nephew dare not start a family until the war is over," and Chu Jino understood what he meant.

It means that Cheng Jinyang hasn't thought about it yet.

If given such a reply by others, Chu Jino would immediately become angry and turn around and leave.

After all, the woman came forward and directly hinted that the man still wanted to delay the matter. It was really embarrassing for the woman.

However, Cheng Jinyang is young and promising after all. He was promoted to the fifth rank before he was 20 years old (according to Chu Qingqing), which is equivalent to a guaranteed third rank. In terms of talent, he is a perfect match for Qingqing.

Both parents are dead and the fifth-grade family has a weak background. Qingqing will not be constrained or bullied by the Cheng family when she marries. He is simply the best natural son-in-law.

No wonder even the Taiyuan Wang family has taken a liking to him!

Although the odds of winning against the Taiyuan Wang family for a good son-in-law are low, it is certainly not a shame.

If Cheng Jinyang chooses Qingqing from my family in the end, then I, the Chu family, will get the best son-in-law over the Wang family and get a huge advantage.

To put it bluntly, even if Qingqing loses in the end, I, the Chu family, will have nothing to lose! I have a talent that is guaranteed to be the third level, but if I put it outside, will my head be robbed?

Therefore, Chu Jiye did not show any anger. Even if he put himself in his shoes and changed his perspective, he could understand why Cheng Jinyang was not in a hurry to make a choice at this time.

Success is considered a success if you are not declined!

"My Qingqing family has been promoted to the fifth rank recently." Chu Jiye hinted crazily, "You are all young talents, and you live close to each other on weekdays, so you can communicate with each other more."

"Uncle Chu Shi is absolutely right." Cheng Jinyang also said euphemistically, "Qingqing spends time with Wanrou and the others, and occasionally cooks and makes soup. My nephew visited them the day before yesterday and was lucky enough to taste Qingqing's cooking. He was amazed. "

"Hahaha, my Qingqing does have good cooking skills. I dare not say that I can buy dragon liver and phoenix marrow, but I am not inferior to the famous restaurant chefs."

When Chu Jinye heard this, he was both happy and sad.

What is gratifying is that Qingqing has indeed shown his talents and seems to have left a deep impression on his son-in-law.

What’s sad is that as an old father, I haven’t tasted my daughter’s craftsmanship for so many years!

However, it is true that not many eldest ladies from aristocratic families these days can cook, and good cooking skills are often referred to as caring for the family, which is a plus point for "wifely virtue".

Therefore, Chu Jiye and Cheng Jinyang continued to chat in depth on this topic. It was called inquiring, but it was actually sales.

Cheng Jinyang had already received the tip-off from Miss Qingqing and was fully prepared, so he had a great time chatting with his father-in-law, making Chu Jinye look more and more pleased with him.

As for the metallic hydrogen factory a year ago, the incident that once made things difficult for Cheng Jinyang, who was Tianluo at the time, has long been forgotten by Chu Jino.

Old bad luck! Why mention it? People should look forward!

Returning to the temporary settlement place of the Chu family in Yangdi, Jingkou, Chu Jiye inquired about the clan affairs before returning to his home.

Chu Qingqing, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly and obediently brought tea to greet her father and asked how the conversation went.

Chu Jino took the tea cup and took a sip. He was about to speak when he suddenly remembered something and frowned and said:

"Qingqing, I'm a little hungry."

"My daughter asked the kitchen to bring some food." Chu Qingqing said immediately.

"Remove the word 'call'." Chu Jino said.

Chu Qingqing:?

"Why, my father has been talking about your affairs for a whole day, and you don't even want to cook?" Chu Jino said with a serious face.

Thinking that I haven't eaten the food cooked by my daughter, I feel inexplicably unhappy.

"My daughter doesn't dare, what does father want to eat?" Qingqing said meekly.

"Let's have some 'Ba Daozhen' first." Chu Jino said casually.
