Chapter 161 Invitation
Aristocratic family with strict access control.

In the previous Cheng family, Cheng Yun'an was the only one who could walk around the whole house at will.

On the contrary, after coming to the capital, Cheng Jinzhou was able to move freely in the whole house intentionally or unintentionally.Personally speaking, it is of course the improvement of family status - for most noble children, they have worked hard and fought hard for most of their lives in order to improve their family status.

The family is the kinship, the kinship is the country, and the country is the world.

Walking into the door, and within a few steps, you can hear Cheng Yunxiang's sound like cotton wool beating the ground: "The Zhao family has not made their mark, so what kind of thing is Hou Wenwu?..."

He then cursed a bunch of times, and then said: "Your Majesty, it's okay to keep such a memorial and not publish it. What's the matter if it's posted in the residence newspaper? And Zhu Zhu didn't even say a word, just make it clear for us to look at." Well, could it be that the Association of Astrologers changed their mind because of a sentence in the mansion newspaper?"

Xie An said in a deep voice: "The lawsuit has nothing to do with the truth until the imperial court. Now I am afraid of the court and the public. The star warlock killed the rookie. Once the article is written, he will lose. Third brother's face It's not pretty, and everyone in my hometown is going to gossip."

"If you want to talk about rookies, isn't the assassination in front of the ceremony courtyard the rookies themselves?" Although Cheng Yunxiang said so, his voice was not so loud.He also wasn't sure who was responsible for the bad debts in front of the Courtyard. The Ministry of Punishment couldn't figure it out, and it seemed that he couldn't figure it out anymore.

When Cheng Jinzhou heard this, he was stunned.He originally thought that Hou Wenwu was suing himself for misappropriating the warehouse materials, but he didn't expect to find out the death of Zhao Quanchen - this guy looked like a fly before death, but he looked like a cockroach after death , Every few days, another dead egg can be released.

"Second brother, don't worry. This kid from Jinzhou is fighting for his strength. Now he is protected by the Astromancer Association. No matter what happens. Now the chess game is unclear, let's wait and see." Cheng Yun'an was the one who spoke. Also slow.

Cheng Yunxiang said anxiously: "Third brother, how can we wait and see what happens in this situation, we have to beat them back severely. Hou Wenwu, or...the ones above are just testing, if we back down, they will It will be pressing every step of the way. It is true that the Star Warlock Association is protecting the little nephew, but it does not mean that they will help in everything. At that time, if the entire Cheng family is kicked out, it will not be strange. Cheng Jinzhou is also a two-star warlock , Without the help of the Astromancer Association, he can't do anything by himself, there are some things we have to consider for them first."

Many people are more concerned about becoming a level star warlock than a star warlock. The main reason is that low-level star warlocks do not have direct rights.Once something happens, even the most violent means to solve the problem cannot be used. As for the hiring of manpower, it will be more or less restricted.

Only high-level star warlocks can really look like treasures. The pyramid shape of the world has not changed since the day it was created.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled secretly when he heard this, thinking that although his second uncle is snobbish and selfish, he is proficient in the connotation of officialdom. Compared with his father, he is indeed more suitable to be an official, so it is no wonder that he can sit in the position of head of the official department , and sit for years.

People in the officialdom have always favored the popular and trampled the black.Cheng Jinzhou proved his worth, so he naturally got the attention of his second uncle. Judging from his positive attitude, he really wanted to help—in fact, if he saw Cheng Jinzhou was in danger, he would devote himself to the emperor's side and get a lot of money. The benefits may outweigh the help.

This point, Cheng Jinzhou is also clear in his heart.

Don't wait for the outcome of the discussion inside.Cheng Jinzhou coughed outside, opened the door and walked in.

"Jinzhou?" Cheng Yun'an was not surprised to see his son.

Cheng Jinzhou looked carefully, there was no trace of tension on the father's face, maybe he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all.

Both Cheng Yunxiang and Xie An looked anxious and angry. They were well versed in the three flavors of officialdom, and from Hou Wenwu, they could smell the smell of a big man behind them. Naturally, they couldn't take it lightly like Cheng Yunan.

Cheng Yunxiang didn't care about other things, and hurriedly said: "Jinzhou, Hou Wenwu is going to sue the imperial court, have you heard?"

Cheng Jinzhou nodded slightly, but did not speak.

"You two, father and son, don't look so ordinary." Cheng Yunxiang said anxiously: "If the imperial court intends to arouse the gentry's discussion, not only you will be hit, but the Cheng family will also shrink their tails. Let alone other things, no matter where you want to go Warehouse, use something, the warehouse officials don’t dare to agree, if you can’t help but kill someone, then things will be more troublesome..."

Xie An also persuaded: "Third brother, the most urgent task now is to sternly reject Hou Wenwu's words first, and then find the Astrologer Association, or Jiang Huang Astrologer, to put pressure on the imperial court, if Hou Wenwu can be forced to throw It would be great if the official resigned. This matter must be done now. If the officials below wait and see for two days and find that we have not acted, a snowflake of memorials will fly over. When the time comes, the person who lost the official and resigned is the second. The young master and the third young master are gone, maybe the old man will also be implicated."

What he said was extremely serious, basically the worst-case scenario.

Cheng Yun'an was a little moved, looked at Cheng Jinzhou and said, "Jinzhou, what do you think?"

Cheng Jinzhou looked at his second uncle, then at his father, cleared his throat, and said, "I'm a first-class astromancer."

"What?" Cheng Yunxiang huffed and stood up.Since he had a star warlock at home, he had read the information about star warlocks and rank star warlocks countless times, and he was more enthusiastic than Cheng Jinzhou's old man. Now when he heard the word "level", he was quite sensitive.

Cheng Yun'an's reaction was much slower, and he still frowned and said, "You used to be a two-star warlock."

Cheng Jinzhou pulled up the sleeve of his left arm vigorously, a fist-sized tattoo exuded the smell of power.

A first-level star warlock represents powerful force; a two-star warlock represents noble status, and when the two are put together, the first thing they have is the superior immunity.

Cheng Yunxiang slapped the table fiercely, and said loudly: "Okay, okay! I'll immediately go to the grandsons of Yushitai, the majestic star warlocks, how can they make any comments in the mansion newspaper."

Xie An gasped as he watched, and said, "Congratulations, third brother, double star warlocks are considered to be members of the complete Star Warlock Association. If the Star Warlock Association doesn't show up this time, how much face will be lost."

Cheng Jinzhou pursed his lips and smiled. He didn't say anything about the church. He thought about it: "Xie An, please help me write a letter to Hou Wenwu, saying that I will meet him in the outer peninsula."

Xie An's eyelids twitched, and he quickly agreed.

Cheng Yun'an reacted at this time and said: "Son, don't do anything reckless."

"It's okay, he's doing nothing for you in the Ministry of Households." Cheng Jinzhou actually laughed secretly in his heart. If there hadn't been such a thing, when the news of his promotion to the first-level star warlock spread, Hou Wenwu would either stop his efforts or choose other methods.

But now, his memorial has been published in the mansion newspaper, and he has not been approved of it. If he hides and doesn't meet, any discussions between the government and the opposition will be nonsense.

"I'm fine." Cheng Yunan sat down steadily and said, "Li Shangshu despises him, and the Shen family members help to speak in the political affairs hall, what else can he do besides being a jester by the emperor's side."

To be a jester is quite an achievement.Cheng Jinzhou smiled wryly.

Cheng Yunxiang is a decisive person. Hearing Cheng Jinzhou's words, he agreed: "Jinzhou should clean up and go to the outer peninsula. It's safer there. I'll go back now and send you a dozen confidants. Guess Hou Wenwu will be stopped when he leads the soldiers there, and then you will deal with it."

Cheng Yun'an had an instinctive plan for the conspiracy, and said anxiously: "What if Hou Wenwu doesn't go to the outer peninsula?"

"Then I'll find someone to bring him here." Cheng Jinzhou snorted and said, "Others only thought he was invited."

"Great plan, great plan!" Xie An exaggeratedly applauded.

Cheng's father's pedantry was finally limited to a certain extent. Seeing that the other three people agreed, he didn't say anything, but said: "Your mother will be here the day after tomorrow, you go and pick it up."

"it is good."

Leaving the three of them to continue discussing matters in the court, Cheng Jinzhou turned back to his house.

Compared with the old house, the room space of the outer house is really limited. Except for the bedrooms and wing rooms for normal living, and the main hall and side hall, there is almost no free space.When the masters discuss things, the attendants have to stay far away.

Of course, living conditions like 20 servants have become the standard for billionaires in later generations.

Turning into his own house, Cheng Jinzhou called customer service 010 again.

Before he could speak, the customer service 010 first shouted: "I provide you with a new service, you can buy more books each time, for example, you can buy 100 books at a time, which can greatly simplify the purchasing process and save your time."

"It's your time that's saved." Cheng Jinzhou shrugged, and said indifferently: "If I bought 100 books at a time, can I keep them all in the ring?"

"No, after you buy it, you can read it one by one, but you have to delete it after reading it. You can only keep 4 books. Unless you reach Star Alliance level 4, you can save 8 books at that time."

"There is no temptation."

"Mr. Cheng Jinzhou, Star Alliance level 4 will definitely help you a lot."

"I know, I know." Cheng Jinzhou patted his forehead and said, "But let's start with a relatively small amount first. How about 3 copies, just keep the exchange form."

Customer service 010 was obviously disappointed and said, "Okay."

Cheng Jinzhou smiled, he is also a skilled worker on how to deal with customer service 010.

After several books in succession, there is still no new progress.

As the number of books purchased increased, Cheng Jinzhou naturally became picky. Although the books sent by customer service 010 were all standard 1-word books, there were no books that stood out.

After spending tens of thousands of star dollars in an instant, Cheng Jinzhou's face became a little unhappy, and he asked suspiciously: "Mr. Ke, we used to buy more than ten books, and there was always one that could be read. Now I have bought almost 100 books. Not even one that can be used? And more people don’t even know what writing is?”

"Random selection." The tone of customer service 010 was serious.

Cheng Jinzhou stared at the image in the void, decided not to go around with him, and said: "Mr. Customer Service, I don't know what the situation is now. Obviously, we have unequal opportunities to obtain information. It seems that the Star Alliance has no monopoly." Laws such as protection, but I hope you can understand that if there are no meaningful books, I will not be able to support my development here, and then our progress will also become slow.”

"You have prepared enough funds, I believe you have no problem." Customer service 010 said in a relaxed tone.

Cheng Jinzhou shook his head solemnly and said: "If I have enough resources, then no one will do anything to me if I don't pay back the money, but if I can't get meaningful books from the Star Alliance, then I must leave enough funds to use In future development, it may be 1000 million."

Customer service 010 listened halfway, his face changed, and he said angrily: "If you don't complete the upgrade to Star Alliance level 4 according to the time, you will definitely regret it."

"I don't know how I will regret it in the future. If I don't have 1600 million stars and get nothing now, I will definitely regret it." Cheng Jinzhou didn't care if the customer service 010 had any secrets.The factory was about to go bankrupt, so he could bargain for the price, not to mention that he didn't have any special requirements right now.

The money is in your hands, it is your own money.All other promises are fluff.

Cheng Jinzhou tried his best to show his tough posture.

Customer service 010 disappeared for a moment, and said: "I can adjust the content of some books to the era and world you are more familiar with, but you must understand that when your Star Alliance level is so low, such adjustments will make the books The price of the book changes, and you should also notice that 1-word books rarely have content that satisfies you.”

Cheng Jinzhou's face suddenly turned cold. A 1-word book is indeed rarely able to explain the content clearly.But if you increase the word count, you will be short of money again.

He didn't want to get into trouble again in the face of this chaos.

Customer service 010 didn't speak, and only Cheng Jinzhou's breathing was left in the room.

Cheng Jinzhou was very relieved.

At the beginning, customer service 010 was like a state-owned enterprise salesperson in the 90s, but later, it gradually evolved into a modern BJ's salesperson. As for now, Cheng Jinzhou almost sees him groveling.

In the past, not to mention that the two of you couldn't agree, just say a few words, customer service 010 would like to close the call.

But now, the two of them have stopped trading and discussing for such a long time, Cheng Jinzhou does not close the face, and the other party does not close the call.

I don’t know how long it took, but customer service 010 finally said: "How about this? I will try my best to limit the scope of the books to the world you are familiar with. And every time you choose a satisfactory book, that is, a book that you spend time recording, then you will How about buying 50 books with 1 words each? Of course, if you are satisfied with the content in these books, they will not be included in the books I have adjusted."

In Cheng Jinzhou's view, the concession made by customer service 010 is almost historic.He haggled out of habit: "20 copies."

"40 copies, no room for bidding."

Looking at the serious face of customer service 010, Cheng Jinzhou laughed: "Then 40 books, really useful books."

Customer service 010 made preparations and said, "10.7 characters, English, are you sure?"

"Sure." Cheng Jinzhou rubbed his hands, ready to wait for the product after going through the back door.

The calm voice of customer service 010 came: "On the Reproduction of Animals."

"What?" Cheng Jinzhou was stunned.

"On the Reproduction of Animals" is actually a very good book as far as the level of the 17th century is concerned. The British Harvey, for the first time, made extensive discussions on the process of embryonic development and some other physiological issues, and believed that all Animals are all born from eggs—although the words of this platypus hero are not quite correct, they did create the genre of "gradual formation theory" and had a great influence on subsequent scientists.

However, biology has nothing to do with Cheng Jinzhou's major, so it may be of little help to the astrologists.

Cheng Jinzhou looked at the content, his face was tense, and he didn't speak.

Judging from what he understands, it is easy for this book to fool people and cheat the contribution points of a few star warlocks. After all, it is a completed academic book, and you can earn points just by publishing it—don’t believe it I read a few articles on the Internet, and after traveling through time, I was able to make up a dissertation based on my memory. The graduation thesis of a Chinese university is the best evidence. Students with a little time to guide, after a whole year of time-wasting process, nine out of ten of the papers of millions of students were let go by the teacher for making up random things, and eight out of ten of the papers for serious experiments were let go by the teacher Nine out of ten, seriously experimenting and writing things that were shocked by the teacher as heaven and nine out of ten, eight out of ten and nine out of ten out of ten, making up random things and being shocked by the teacher into heaven, who has ever seen it?

Flipping it up and down twice, Cheng Jinzhou took the paper dissatisfied and began to read it. By the way, he said, "Mr. Ke, if your next book focuses on physics and mathematics, I will be very grateful."

Customer service 010 let out a "huh" but didn't say anything.

……

The long night was spent looking for books and reading.

Cheng Jinzhou, on the other hand, kept awake and unconscious amid excitement and fatigue, like a goat having sex in a tiger's cage with a bad cold.

The sky slowly lit up.

Shi Mo didn't know that Cheng Jinzhou was not asleep, so he led two maids to wait at the door, looked at the sky anxiously, guessed that it was almost there, and shouted loudly: "Please get up, third brother."

The maids all brushed and shouted timidly: "Please get up, third brother."

Cheng Jinzhou opened the door violently, blocked possible sunlight with his hands, and asked strangely, "Why is it so early today?"

The two maids went up first, pulled a towel and wiped Cheng Jinzhou's face - Cheng's family's rules, children have been practicing getting up like this since childhood.

Shi Mo saluted and said: "You are going to the Outer Zhou Peninsula today to see Hou Wenwu. In addition, the old man of the Liu family sent a message."

"Liu Qingshuang's grandfather?" Cheng Jinzhou frowned. The Liu family followed closely in the footsteps of His Majesty the Emperor. His father-in-law, even in order to raise taxes for the Emperor, did not hesitate to offend the nobles all over the world. reform.But Mr. Liu is in the capital, and he doesn't like to see him very much. What does it mean to send a post at this juncture.
