girl, you're wrong

Chapter 546 New Year's Eve Evening
After lunch, everyone couldn't wait to let Ye Ru take the teleportation out, and wanted to have a good time around Jingkou.

Cheng Jinyang didn't have the nerve to tell them that the shops on the street were basically closed on New Year's Eve, and there was no one on the street, otherwise he wouldn't have exposed the demon girls to the public.

After leaving here, he went back to the living room to receive some people from other aristocratic families who came to visit - the Fufeng Xie clan was among them.

Now in the Cheng clan, there are quite a few members of the Xie clan, such as Xie Youdu who works in the admiral's mansion, and Xie Zhenshi, Qingqing's mother, etc., so Xie Anshi also brought some clansmen to visit, among them There is Xie Ling Jiang.

Xiao Ling Jiang, who is already 5 years old, seems to have only grown in stature, and her temperament has not changed much. She is still quite mature and precocious.After coming here, I first asked Xie Anshi for leave and resigned, and then I couldn't wait to find Miss Wang.

Miss Wang was sitting and drinking tea in the courtyard, Xie Lingjiang sat down beside her and asked:

"Sister Wanrou, can we have a drink together?"

"As you please." Miss Wang replied.

So Xie Lingjiang made tea for himself, with a focused and cute expression on his small face.

After brewing according to the family's tea ceremony etiquette, she held the teacup in both hands and asked in a low voice:
"Sister Wanrou, do you really want to marry him?"

"En." Wang Wanrou hummed.

"But, I heard..." Xie Lingjiang hesitated to speak, "You don't seem to be a regular wife..."

"If you were you, would you like to 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, the world will be chaotic but not chaotic, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail."

"But if it is a time of great order or chaos, with unpredictable fate, then I would rather be a phoenix tail and try my best than be a chicken head and be at the mercy of others."

"Oh." Wang Wanrou said with a faint smile, "I remember you said two years ago that today's empire is like a puddle that is about to dry up, and everyone is fighting with each other like tadpoles in it. Today, I don't know Have your views changed?"

"So that's how it is." Xie Lingjiang nodded slightly to show he was educated, "I understand. It's just...Back then, brother Jinyang faced Wang Chuzhong's thousands of troops without fear, what kind of heroism was he at that time? "

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

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

Xie Lingjiang didn't answer, but just hesitated.

Of course it meant that, 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 can also confirm the development of Jingkou Town with the naked eye; how can a child know the situation of the Beifu Army?

However, since Miss Wang said so, it was almost like telling her clearly: Cheng Jinyang was not addicted to farming, and at the same time he was actively preparing the army for war, with his goal directed at the northern Central Plains.

After understanding, Xie Lingjiang stopped talking about "Whether Cheng Jinyang is worthy of her marriage", but began to gossip with great interest:
"Sister Wanrou, who do you think will be your biggest love rival after you pass the door?"

Wang Wanrou let out a sneer of unknown meaning.

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

Wang Wanrou let out another meaningful laugh.

"Could it be that he has been completely tamed by you?!" Xie Lingjiang pretended to be shocked.

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

"That's right." Xie Lingjiang said, "I heard that the eldest princess of Nankang will also secretly marry him, and she is not the official wife. I thought it was a rumor at first, but after careful investigation, it turned out not to be true."

"Sister Wanrou, from my point of view, although brother Jinyang's backyard is huge, the only one who can fight with you is His Royal Highness. At that time, there will be a 'king and horse sharing the rear house', which is considered to be in line with the current situation."

She was rambling on, but Wang Wanrou ignored her, just picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"The position of wife?" She suddenly laughed lowly and said, "What's there to argue about rewards for introversion that are formulated with social ethics rules?"

"You can't... Let's put it this way." Xie Lingjiang said hesitantly, "The main wife is a symbol of the family's status, and if it can be contested, it must be contested."

"Status is not obtained through this kind of contention." Wang Wanrou said with a sneer, "He will not treat them differently just because of who is the main wife and who is the concubine."

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

Wang Wanrou was slightly taken aback.

After a while, she turned her head away so that Xie Lingjiang could not see the expression on her face.

"It's 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 nervous."

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

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

If Ling Jiang... No, if my sister hadn't suffered from illness back then, she would have married Cheng Jinyang at this time, how good would it be?I, Mrs. Xie, can also find a more favorable position in this emerging camp.

Although I work in his shogunate now, it is still a bit worse than the relationship between husband and wife.

In other words, the reason why Wang Changshi has a long history, but I am only the chief bookkeeper, may not have Wang Wanrou's nepotism factor in it.

After thinking for a while, Xie Youdu gave some advice again, and then left.

Cheng Jinyang sighed, knowing that the marriage had to be advanced according to the original schedule, so as not to be implicated by the war and forced to postpone it.

The New Year's Eve dinner was held in the main hall, and the father-in-law, father-in-law, uncle, and the shogunate and other guests took their seats one after another.During the banquet, there was a lot of toasting and laughter, and the heating in the venue was also fully turned on. Many people even unbuttoned their collars, and it was a bit hot.

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

When dealing with her mother, Miss Wang behaved so docilely and well-behaved that Cheng Jinyang couldn't believe his eyes—even in front of her father, she had never seen this young lady be so filial.

He took out his mobile phone, intending to secretly record Miss Wang's cutest side, but just as he took it out, he saw a text message on the screen. The time was 10 minutes ago, when everyone entered the venue:
"Don't bother me tonight, or you will bear the consequences."

Taking another look at the sender's name, Cheng Jinyang silently stuffed his phone back into his pocket, picked up his wine glass as if nothing had happened, and went to toast his father-in-law.

　At the request of the beautiful book friend last time, I recommend a new book "Too Mang" here. It is a fairy tale with many heroines, and it is easy to read in daily life. Friends who are interested can read it. It is the author of "The World Is Very Fierce" new book~
