Chapter 136 Parent
Cheng Yun'an has always admonished himself according to the strict father's standard, and then educated his son.

Just like those standard literati fathers, Cheng Yun'an would not describe his work, his position, or his future to his wife and children.

Therefore, when he finally came to the capital, most of the letters he sent talked about the situation at home, and the other half talked about his behavior during this period, but there was almost no description of his own affairs.Even if Cheng Jinzhou really has the identity of an astrologer, it can't completely change his mind.

When Cheng Jinzhou received the letter, he was also quite dumbfounded.His own cheap father was appointed as the head of the household department. He actually heard it from someone else, and the time was not at all earlier than the father's letter. That is why Cheng Yun'an, who claims to be a literati, would do this.

But no matter what, Cheng Yun'an's transition from the local government to the central government is a breakthrough and a leap forward.From the perspective of the Cheng family, even the position of the master of the Cheng family can only be said to be a senior member of the Southwest military circles. If there are two consecutive officials of the six ministries above level 10 in the second generation, it is of great value to the entire Cheng family. improved.

It's not hard for Cheng Jinzhou to imagine what the current Cheng family will be like.Just look at his second uncle holding his hand and sitting in a sedan chair 30 miles forward to greet him, one can tell that Cheng Yunan, who lost Shaonan Zhizhou, and Cheng Yunan, who gained the head of the household department, are completely two people to them.

And all of this seemed to be a great gift from the third prince without asking for anything in return, which made it difficult for Cheng Jinzhou to judge what a real star warlock would be like - but he had never thought about how many stars there were. Warlocks can also be treated differently by the top star warlocks in Daxia.

There is a pavilion ten miles away from the west gate of the capital.

There were no.50 people who came together to welcome the head of the Ministry of Trust and Officials, not only officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials, but also a few ministers who did not know each other. They even set up a very good banquet for drinking .Judging from the age of the official uniform, it was about the same year when Cheng Yunan took the imperial examination, and he may have come from a noble family in Shaonan.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't want to have too much contact with these old men, so he sat at the tea stall not far from the long pavilion, drinking tea on his back.

The tea is astringent, bitter, and very thirst-quenching.

The tea stall owner wears a white scarf around his waist and carries a big teapot in his hand as he shuttles between merchants and customers.Cheng Jinzhou saw it interestingly, stretched out his hand to call him over, and asked with a smile: "The boss's business is good, but he is so busy every day? Isn't the big teapot heavy?"

There were more and more customers coming and going, and the tea stall owner stood still with a wink. He took the opportunity to wipe the sweat on his forehead and said with a smile: "Young man, you are joking. If we can have such good business every day, I will I don’t feel tired even if I carry two more teapots. We are a small business, and we can only have so many people when high-ranking officials come. Or, those rich men have already gone to their rooms to stay, who can bear to live in a thatched shed? .”

Cheng Jinzhou looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, several well-dressed businessmen were also sitting there drinking large teapots and eating unpeeled peanuts.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, the boss carried the big teapot around to add water. The small tea stand was a simple husband and wife stall, and the two of them were indeed a bit busy.

Cheng Jinzhou looked at it but sighed slightly. In the days in the capital, he lived a more tense, relaxed and tense life, but rarely experienced a warm or leisurely life.

A horse came straight to the pavilion with khaki dust. He looked at it from a distance and said a few words, and the staff and officials waiting outside got ready.Cheng Jinzhou also walked slowly towards the pavilion. Needless to say, it was his cheap dad who came.

I haven't seen her for several months, Cheng Yun'an's body is full of travel and dust, and he looks old.Amidst the congratulatory voices of other officials, he held his demeanor reservedly. Even with acquaintances, it was rare to see that he had the experience of being a state shepherd for two terms.

The Cheng family is also a big family in the southwestern region. Officials from the Liu, Li, Zhao and other clans in Beijing might come to congratulate them. Picking up people in Changting is a cheap solution.Cheng Yun'an was courteous to everyone, but he had to keep receiving the invitations in his hands, and was always careful not to agree to anyone.Cheng Jinzhou looked hard.

After finally sending most of the people away, Cheng Yun'an saw Cheng Jinzhou first, waved and smiled, "Come here, son."

At this time, he just showed some heartfelt smiles.

From the local government to the central government, from investigation to promotion, a series of incidents have been experienced by Cheng Yun'an himself, and only he knows the dangers involved.The Cheng family's operation in the capital can be said to be zero, and Sanfang can only manage some of its own money.Reminiscent of the timing of Cheng Jinzhou's promotion to Star Warlock, the sudden opportunity seems to be suddenly clear.

Most of the people present knew about the new Star Warlock from the Cheng family, and immediately praised him for making way for Cheng Jinzhou to walk to Cheng Yun'an's side smoothly.Fortunately, the Cheng family was very particular about not hugging children, so there were no touching scenes that affected the welcome process.

"How are you doing in the capital? How does Hongwen Museum feel?" Cheng Yun'an said nothing about his studies.

Cheng Jinzhou answered dumbfounded: "The professor's lecture is very good."

God knows what the professor was talking about, but he was surrounded by his father’s colleagues, so he had to give him face.

The second uncle laughed loudly at this time and said: "Jinzhou is the most up-to-date, this time the scholar passed the first place, and became a second-star warlock again, bringing glory to my old Cheng family."

"Congratulations." The civil servants around him kept clapping their hands, drowning Cheng Yun'an in the congratulations again.

Cheng Jinzhou let out a long breath.

……

Xiao Cheng's reckless life came to an end with the arrival of his father.

Just like many ordinary people who don't know astronomy, Cheng Yun'an doesn't regard the so-called two-star astronomy as normal astronomy.In the eyes of officials who pay attention to reality, only gentlemen who can go to heaven and earth and have a powerful star formation are the real astrologers.Judging from their short career of three to forty years, it is too long to expect the rise of a star warlock.

In fact, obtaining 10 initial contribution points per year is already the limit for most Star Warlocks. 1000 contribution points means 100 years.In other words, three-star warlocks are the exclusive preserve of a very small number of people among the star warlocks.Perhaps it would be more realistic to think of it as a goal rather than trying to achieve it.

Because of this, when Cheng Yun'an determined that Cheng Jinzhou would not go to school all day, he still had the confidence to teach him a lesson, and said earnestly: "Jinzhou, no matter what achievements you have made now, you are still a 13-year-old child. Reading is not only Not only to increase knowledge, but also to teach you the principles of life..."

After a crackling old master-like conversation, Cheng Jinzhou completely gave in and said reluctantly: "It's okay for me to continue going to Hongwen Hall from tomorrow on."

"That's right." Cheng Yun'an nodded in satisfaction, then got up to look outside, closed the door, and said in a low voice: "Then, let's talk about other things, father coming to Beijing this time, whose door did you follow?"

Although he is thick and straight, he is not stupid.No official with a Jinshi background is really stupid.China's imperial examination is not so much about evaluating literary talent as it is about intelligence and luck. Li Bai's literary talent is very good, but he is not smart enough - a truly smart person should learn eight-part essays if he wants to, and read poetry if he wants to read books. , If you want to play mathematics, you can play mathematics.People who claim that stereotypes have obliterated their abilities are like the old arcade machines on the market. No matter how fun a single game is, it will eventually be eliminated by the Famicom.

Cheng Jinzhou snorted twice, and said honestly: "It may be the third prince's help."

"Prince Yanping?" Cheng Yun'an was shocked.

"Is there a problem?" Cheng Jinzhou, no matter how superior he was, was blind to the situation in the DPRK and China. What he did was to try not to make enemies with all parties, but it was rare to see the cooperation.

Cheng Yun'an pondered for a moment, and said: "Third Prince, you should have a close relationship with your father-in-law, but you don't know what you are trying to do with such a great effort."

He said "I don't know", but Cheng Yun'an stared at Cheng Jinzhou and asked, "Did you promise Yanping County King something?"

"There is no clear promise, but he should be interested in my status as an astromancer." Cheng Jinzhou also answered seriously at this time.

Cheng Yun'an frowned and said: "I received your letter earlier, saying that I can bear 3 star power?"

Without saying a word, Cheng Jinzhou tore off the clothes on his right chest, moved slightly by himself, and floated up.

"Do you think you can become a first-level star warlock at the age of 18?" Cheng Yun'an held Cheng Jinzhou to prevent him from flying too far.

"Probably okay." Cheng Jinzhou rubbed his head.It is difficult to determine the talent of an astro-warlock. Needless to say, Lu Xu's abnormality, some people can barely reach the standard of five or six star points by eating too much. In fact, it is the first priority. For the same star formation, those who are good at mathematics can stab fewer parts and withstand more sweeps.

Of course, no matter how you say it, the physical condition after adulthood can always determine the basic endurance of an astral magician. It is very long and arduous to improve the astral magic itself.

Cheng Jinzhou's swearing guarantee was not based on his own mathematical knowledge, but more because he believed that real rice would have better results.

Cheng Yun'an looked Cheng Jinzhou up and down, and after a while he said: "Now that the matter is over, you should study seriously. If you have time, take Liu Qingshuang to visit your father-in-law. By the way, how are you and Liu Qingshuang getting along? "

Cheng Jinzhou opened his mouth and said, "Occasionally, I have seen it a few times."

He killed his rival in love, but Liu Qingshuang simply stayed at home and did not come out.The old man of the Liu family doesn't like this engagement, and he doesn't even know what the other party's situation is.

Father Cheng didn't think too much about it.Aristocratic families often get married around the age of 18, and he actually didn't want Cheng Jinzhou to have a heated fight with his fiancée at this time, but praised the Liu family's upbringing in his heart.
