Chapter 344 Tea Party

For tea parties in Daxia, it is customary to choose places with beautiful scenery and vast places.

Lakeside, lawn and groves are commonly used addresses, just like the choices of young lovers.

There are most rivers and streams near Shaonan, and the Greenland Manor in Hewan is a good choice.

Mr. Liu went back to work with good reason, and Mrs. Liu went slowly to the villa in a four-wheeled carriage, followed by Cheng Jinzhou, who was well-dressed.He was riding "Chasing the Wind", wearing a small windbreaker and half-length breeches, and was dressed like a 16-year-old noble boy.

God knows how many young noble boys in Daxia can have such powerful power.

After a year of training, the Anya Thoroughbred horse is even more handsome. With a height of 2 meters, it is like a horse standing in a flock in a world where there are many ponies.If you want to compare it, one person has to slow down when sitting on an ordinary horse, and two people can hardly run.Only this kind of tall thoroughbred horse can sit several people on the horse and perform all kinds of magical movements.

After being carefully dressed up by the maids of the Liu family, Cheng Jinzhou couldn't bear the original look. Apart from the fact that he didn't put on makeup or makeup, he was now no different from the pretty boy in the singing.

A boy with a pretty face is easy to hook up with a little girl, and the makeup is not for nothing.

The folk atmosphere in Daxia is very conservative, and ethics absolutely dominates.But in the well-informed aristocratic world, everyone subconsciously prefers the holy religion of freedom-freedom is not a belief, but a natural laziness of people.Because it is rooted in human genes, it is more valuable than money and nobler than love.

The 16-year-old boy is just running around on the grass, chatting with little girls with half-understood philosophy and biology.Cheng Jinzhou was dragged into the tea party by his mother-in-law, but he was only allowed to watch other people wandering around, staying at the table of a group of noble ladies.

These are the real seven aunts and eight aunts, and they are cousins ​​with noble titles. If any of them is a baroness, they will be embarrassed to show their faces.The Viscountess had to help everyone serve tea and water.

Although the last two generations of the Cheng family were considered to be in decline, the number of noble ladies in the family has actually increased - because the positions of the men are average, and the women often travel between the palace and the palace to accompany the concubines. The default unspoken rules in the noble circle.In return, the grades of the ladies are often one and a half grades higher than those of their husbands.Anyway, Feng Yin cannot be hereditary, and the royal family is not stingy.

Everyone grabbed Cheng Jinzhou to talk and asked about this and that.The old lady of the Cheng family was also surrounded by the crowd.She is a person who has experienced politics, knows the three-star warlock, coupled with the status of the morning light priest and the "God's favored person", she is especially happy to see her suffer.

Dr. Cheng Da let go, even if the old lady Bo smiled, she would talk with the female relatives.He also hasn't rested for a while, sitting at the round table under the eaves, enjoying the gentle breeze blowing by the river, drinking fragrant tea - if it can make the ears quieter, this is really a good place for vacation.

Everyone was talking, and they naturally asked Liu Qingshuang.

It was hard for Xiao Cheng to say, "How can a person who crosses the border not die, how can he get married", and he was choked up in two or three sentences.

A countess from the Kang family, relying on her own identity, said with emotion: "A man always thinks about different women. He doesn't feel at ease when he keeps a woman by his side, and he's afraid when he leaves a woman outside. You little girl How could you leave your fiancée out at such a young age?"

What she said was enough, and the sensible ladies immediately fell silent. Mrs. Liu gave her a hard look, and then looked at Old Mrs. Cheng.

In fact, it is impossible to say that she is not worried.Cheng Jinzhou's status has risen sharply. Gao Pan's marriage has not yet been confirmed, and it has become a reverse dislocation. Pulling Cheng Jinzhou over, more or less meant to be close.

Hearing what the woman said, Cheng Jinzhou couldn't help pondering for a moment and said: "I was preparing to attack the Northern Han that day, so I took Qingshuang away. Since everything in the Northern Han Dynasty is settled, I should take it back. The airship is also A matter of two days."

It was only at this time that the ladies realized that the young man they were kneading in front of them turned out to be a guy capable of launching a foreign war. Thinking of this, they gradually became restrained when they talked to Cheng Jinzhou.

Seeing this, the old lady hurriedly said: "Jinzhou, go down and talk to other people. There are many officials here, all from the nearby provinces."

Cheng Jinzhou left as promised, and the ladies above returned to their original state.

It took a few minutes to write a note and hand over the task of picking up Liu Qingshuang to Shi Mo, and Cheng Jinzhou started wandering around the river.

The tea parties of the nobles just like to be big. Except for the size of the pastries and barbecues, the shrubs around the river bank are all built neatly.The advantage of artificial turf is also that it is clean. If it is a real grassland, there will be either running water from unknown sources or animal feces from unknown sources. Occasionally, there will be unidentified animal corpses rotting underneath. A place not to be seen.

As for the rested lawn, if you are willing to spend the manpower and financial resources equivalent to building a forest, you will naturally be able to create a clean and flat grass. It is a good enjoyment for boys and girls to sit on the grass in twos and threes. There are boys and girls who have overdue service, sandwiched among the juniors, and they still have a lot of fun.

Cheng Jinzhou felt like returning to a carefree school life. After wandering around for a while, he couldn't help but use the star array to fly to a certain tree and observe the bottom.

In a short while, four literati carried food boxes and got into the woods where he was. After they started to have a picnic, Cheng Jinzhou was too embarrassed to come down, so he simply lay down on top and listened to what they said. What.

The four literati were all from Ningzhou Province. Because they did not bother to be the ninth-rank official, they stayed at home and talked about the pros and cons of the court every day.Several people talked and talked about the debt repayment of the four provinces.

All the news they knew came from the imperial palace newspaper, so it was unavoidably biased, but the words of one of them caught Cheng Jinzhou's attention, and he only heard the man say: "I heard that the merchants three months ago have already received all the taxes. , Many people are now waiting to receive the second month's tax payment, I think if this continues, all the tax sources of the four provinces will be sucked up by them."

"So what, it's hard to beat De'an."

"Hush." ​​Someone immediately said cautiously: "This is the headquarters of the Cheng family. I don't want to be separated from you and others forever after a game."

Several people laughed and cursed at once, and another person said: "I heard that Warlock Gaotang Longxing has also come, I don't know what the situation is."

"Fourth-level star warlocks can't beat fourth-level star warlocks." There are too many star warlocks appearing recently, and even people are beginning to understand the division of strength among star warlocks.A year ago, these materials were only for the reference of senior court officials.The Star Alliance and the Holy Church never wanted to associate themselves with naked power battles, and the Star Warriors were discriminated against.

When literati speak, they will always be followed by romance after three and a half sentences. Amidst their comments and praises, Cheng Jinzhou muttered to himself.

If the three-month tariff is returned now, it seems that whether the tax exemption policy will continue to be implemented in the future will become a legal problem.But if the state of zero tariffs is always maintained, free ports such as Hong Kong will naturally live very well, but in terms of the development of the entire Great Xia, it is actually unfavorable.

At Cheng Jinzhou's position today, he is no longer just thinking about De'an.And if he can control the tariff system of the entire Great Xia, he will be even stronger.

His thinking will not produce any results in a short time, but he heard someone shouting "Cheng Jinzhou" from below.

Dr. Cheng Da flew up strangely, stirring up fallen leaves.

There are quite a few astrologists in Shaonan, but there are not many 16-year-old astrologists. How could a few people know that Cheng Jinzhou was on top, and they all turned pale with fright.

The person who called him was Weng Xilian.She also belongs to one of the most powerful families in the capital. Although she does not obey family discipline, invitations to the tea party must be sent out.

Ever since she aspired to become a star warlock, Weng Xilian rarely came to the gathering places of nobles.She wore a pure black robe that covered her whole body. She was obviously not dressed for a banquet.

"What?" Cheng Jinzhou was wearing a polo attire, looking like a golfer meeting a biologist.

"It seems that an astrologer with a special status has come, and the astrologer Jiang Huang asked me to come to you." Weng Xilian blinked her big eyes and said something serious, but she had a narrow smile on her face.

Cheng Jinzhou was ashamed of the shape of the oily noodles, but he had to explain: "It's all popular now."

"I know." Weng Xilian pursed her lips, she hadn't really left the social circle.

Cheng Jinzhou shook his head and laughed, and asked, "How special is the special identity of the astromancer?"

Weng Xilian showed a strange smile, and said: "The person who came here didn't reveal his identity, but he wanted to take Zhao Yeyu away, saying that he wanted to accept him as an apprentice."

"Zhao Yeyu? He's not too annoying." Of course Cheng Jinzhou remembered the righteous young lady.If he joins the church, it would be a pity for his innocent and selfless face not to have the most pious title.

Weng Xilian also knew this junior from the Zhao family.Among the grandchildren of this generation, Zhao Yeyu must be the most favored one. If it weren't for the Zhao family's decline at a speed visible to the naked eye, with his status, it would not be difficult to find a real star warlock master.

Considering his relationship with the Zhao family, Cheng Jinzhou couldn't help squinting his eyes and asked, "What kind of special magic is that star warlock?"

Weng Xilian thought for a while and said, "It seems that he made a special trip to take Zhao Yeyu away. His whole body was covered by a black cloth, and he didn't even show his glasses. When he was in the sky above Shaonan City, he was discovered by the magician Li Xianfengxian. If Star Warlock Jiang Huang hadn't acted, Zhao Yeyu might have been taken away."

"Did Warlock Jiang Huangxing capture him?"

Weng Xilian shook her head in surprise.Two fourth-level star warlocks shot, which was beyond Cheng Jinzhou's expectation.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound in the sky, and then two consecutive impacts were heard, which happened on the slope not far away.
