Girl, there's something wrong with you

Chapter 546 New Year’s Eve Evening

After lunch, everyone couldn't wait to let Ye Ru take the teleport out and have a good time near Jingkou.

Cheng Jinyang was embarrassed to tell them that on New Year's Eve, most of the shops on the street were closed and there was no one on the street, otherwise he would not have exposed the demon girls to the public.

After leaving here, he returned to the living room and received some members of other aristocratic families who came to visit - the Fufeng Xie family was among them.

Nowadays, in the Cheng clan area, there are many Xie clan members, such as Xie Youdu, the chief secretary of Xie who works in the Admiral's Mansion, and Qingqing's mother, Xie Zhenshi, Xie clan, etc. Therefore, Xie Anshi also brought some clan members to visit, including There is Xie Lingjiang.

Xiao Lingjiang, who is already 5 years old, seems to have grown a bit in stature, but her temperament has not changed much. She still looks quite mature and precocious. After arriving, I first asked for leave from Xie Anshi, and then I couldn't wait to find Miss Wang.

Miss Wang was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea. Xie Lingjiang sat down next to her and asked:

"Sister Wanrou, can we drink together?"

"It's up to you." Miss Wang replied.

So Xie Lingjiang made tea for herself, with a focused expression on her little face, which was very cute.

After brewing the tea according to the tea ceremony etiquette of the aristocratic family, she held the teacup with both hands and asked in a low voice:

"Sister Wanrou, do you really want to marry him?"

"Yeah." Wang Wanrou hummed.

"But, I heard..." Xie Lingjiang hesitated, "You don't seem to be the real wife..."

"If it were you, would you rather be a chicken head or a phoenix tail?" Miss Wang suddenly asked.

"It depends on the situation." Xie Lingjiang thought for a moment and said cautiously, "If the empire is like a pool of stagnant water, and the world will be in chaos but will not be in chaos, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix."

"But if it's an era of great peace or chaos, and the fate of your life is unpredictable, then you would rather be the tail of a phoenix and try your best than be the head of a chicken and let others manipulate you."

"Ha." Wang Wanrou smiled faintly and said, "I remember you once said two years ago that the current empire is like a puddle that is about to dry up, and everyone is fighting with each other like tadpoles in it. To this day, I don't know Has your perspective changed?”

"That's it." Xie Lingjiang nodded slightly to show that he was taught, "I understand. But... Brother Jinyang back then faced Wang Chuzhong's thousands of troops without fear. How heroic was he then? "

"It's just that since then, it seems that he has taken root in Jingkou Town and devoted himself to running the industry. It makes people feel..."

"It makes you feel like a rich old man who only knows how to accumulate food and buy wealth in troubled times?" Wang Wanrou asked with a sneer.

Xie Lingjiang didn't answer, just hesitated.

Of course that was the meaning, but Miss Wang's sneer showed that her guess was a stupid mistake.

After thinking for a while, Xie Lingjiang asked in a low voice:

"Did I ignore the Beifu Army?"

"Do you know the situation of the Beifu Army?" Miss Wang asked her.

Xie Lingjiang shook his head. She could confirm the development of Jingkou Town with her naked eyes; how could she, a child, know the situation of the Beifu Army?

However, since Miss Wang said this, it almost made it clear to her: Cheng Jinyang is not addicted to farming, but is also actively preparing for war, with the goal of targeting the northern Central Plains.

After understanding, Xie Lingjiang stopped talking on the topic of "whether Cheng Jinyang is worthy of her marriage" and started gossiping enthusiastically:

"Sister Wanrou, who do you think will be your biggest love rival after you get married?"

Wang Wanrou sneered with unknown meaning.

"Well, it seems that Sister Wanrou is invincible." Xie Lingjiang asked curiously, "What about Brother Jinyang?"

Wang Wanrou laughed meaningfully again.

"Has he been completely tamed by you?!" Xie Lingjiang pretended to be shocked.

"If he is so easily tamed by me, doesn't it mean there is something wrong with my eyesight?" Wang Wanrou said leisurely.

"By the way." Xie Lingjiang said, "I heard that the eldest princess of Nankang was also going to marry him secretly, and she was not his official wife. I thought it was a rumor at first, but after careful inquiry, it turned out not to be the case."

"Sister Wanrou, as far as I'm concerned, although Brother Jinyang's backyard is big, the only one who can fight with you is His Highness. By then, it would be appropriate to have a 'king and horse sharing the rear house', which is in line with the current situation."

She rambled on, but Wang Wanrou ignored her, just picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"The position of head wife?" She suddenly chuckled and said, "That kind of involution reward that is formulated based on social ethical rules, what is there to fight for?"

"You can't... let's put it this way." Xie Lingjiang said hesitantly, "The first wife is a symbol of family status. If you can fight for it, you should still fight for it."

"Status is not won through this kind of fighting." Wang Wanrou said with a sneer, "He will not have different views and treatment of the two just because who is the main wife and who is the concubine."

"In your eyes, what kind of person is Brother Jinyang?" Xie Lingjiang asked curiously.

Wang Wanrou was slightly startled.

After a long while, she turned her head away, not letting Xie Lingjiang see the expression on her face.

"Just a scumbag."

………………

"The plan to dispatch troops is at the end of March." Xie Youdu said in a low voice.

"So soon?" Cheng Jinyang frowned, "Then even the wedding time is a little tight."

"Well, let's get married as soon as possible." Master Xie nodded, "As long as the marriage is completed, the entire top tier of the noble clan... will basically be tied to the same chariot as us."

He said in a low voice, with a hint of regret in his tone.

What if Ling Jiang... is wrong, if my sister was not ill and had married Cheng Jinyang now, how great would it be? I, Xie, can also find a more advantageous position in this emerging camp.

Although I now serve in his shogunate, the relationship between husband and wife is still a bit inferior after all.

In other words, the reason why Wang Changshi has a long history, but I am only the chief clerk, may not be without the nepotism factor of Wang Wanrou.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Youdu said a few words of advice again before saying goodbye and leaving.

Cheng Jinyang sighed, knowing that the wedding had to be moved forward according to the original schedule, so as not to be involved in the war and forced to postpone it.

The New Year's Eve dinner was held in the main hall, and the father-in-law, uncle-in-law, the shogunate and other guests took their seats one after another. The banquet was filled with people drinking wine and laughing. The heating in the venue was turned on at full speed. Many people even unbuttoned their collars to feel warm.

Even Wang Wanrou's mother, Cao, who had made a big fuss before, was invited out at this time and was talking to her little daughter lovingly.

When treating her mother, Miss Wang was so docile and well-behaved that Cheng Jinyang could not believe her eyes - even in front of her father, she had never seen this eldest daughter so filial.

He took out his mobile phone, intending to secretly record the most adorable side of Miss Wang, but as soon as he took it out, he saw a text message received on the screen. The time was twenty minutes ago, when everyone entered the venue:

"Don't bother me tonight, or there will be consequences."

After looking at the sender's name again, Cheng Jinyang silently put the phone back into his pocket, picked up the wine glass as if nothing happened, and went to toast his father-in-law.
