evening.

Cheng's mother was red and swollen with her eyes packed up for Cheng Jinzhou.

Cheng's father sat helplessly. Although he didn't take action, it was an exception for him to be able to stay aside. The guilt in his eyes was even more obvious. Whether as a noble or a father, he was confident that he could provide the family and children with the capital to settle down. The title of the Golden List and the promotion to the prefect of Shaonan City seemed to be even more affirming his ability. However, this unrestrained disaster cast a shadow on everything.

Like most literati, when facing setbacks, especially when they cause their own adverse situations, gentlemen choose to give in, while villains resist bravely.

Cheng Yunan has always been a standard gentleman. So he did not have any substantial actions except to complain about himself. In fact, there is really nothing to do now.

Cheng Jinzhou was a little difficult to adapt to the depressing atmosphere, so he found an excuse and said, "I should say goodbye to Liu Kuangxing sorcerer and Wang Linghe sorcerer."

"Go." Cheng's mother wiped her face with the back of her hand, turned her head and smiled, "They have helped you a lot, and there are several pairs of bottles from the previous dynasty in my room. You can give them to several astrology warlocks as a thank you gift."

"No need." Cheng Jinzhou shook his head and said, "I will thank them."

Cheng's father waved his hand and said, "Take Shiyan and Shimo with him, plus Meng Da Meng Er. Remember to go to see grandma tomorrow morning and then set off."

Not knowing what to say, Cheng Jinzhou left with his lips pursed, feeling his heart twitching.

He didn't really think he would encounter a difficult situation. If he had enough time, with the resources in his hands, the problems in front of him could be solved. But for his current parents, the difficulties were real.

Cheng's mother watched Cheng Jinzhou pass through the small gate, and couldn't help but wipe her tears again and said, "Fortunately, Meng Da Meng is here, at least she won't suffer any losses in the capital."

As she said that, she started drizzling.

Cheng's father turned his head in annoyance and said in a hoarse voice: "There are stations along the way, so it's safe."

Cheng's mother ignored her and said in a crying voice: "We should ask the old lady to send a few more people to follow Jinzhou to the capital. There were only two book boys who followed her. When she arrived at a place where she had support in the capital, she had no capable people. Moreover, he had always been in poor health, and now it was snowing again..."

"It's okay." Cheng's father repeated the words of comfort, not knowing what to say.

Cheng's mother dropped the clothes on her hand, thought about it for a while and said, "The in-laws kept Qingshuang here, and it seemed that she had sent a lot of people."

Cheng Yunan stood up unhappily and said with a flushed face: "Liu Zhuanyun thought it was safe to leave his daughter in the Cheng family, so he asked us to ask us if we asked her to go to the capital with Jinzhou, then......"

If Liu Bin wants to carry out land reform in Hexi, he will inevitably offend countless nobles. He will grant Liu Qingshuang to Cheng Jinzhou and leave him in Shaonan City. He will not be entrusted with orphans, but also have the intention of taking care of him. If he goes to the capital, he will naturally go against his original intention.

Cheng's mother said indifferently: "When married, she will follow her husband, no matter whether she is good or bad, can she get rid of the Cheng family? No one can be willful in the current situation. Let me ask."

Cheng Yunan sighed long.

The three rooms are brightly lit, and the small courtyard where the astral warlocks live is also bright and candles.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't bring a book boy, so he carried a big red lantern and walked slowly over, from one end of the house to the other, which was equivalent to an ordinary pedestrian street. Although the surrounding buildings were sparse, they showed traces of careful arrangement everywhere. The Cheng family's business and foundation founded for more than a hundred years can be seen from the house.

The four astrology warriors each have an independent courtyard with interconnected connections. In the middle is a carefully renovated lotus pond. In the separate rooms at the corners are the accompanying knights of the astrology warriors.

In the Daxia Dynasty, knights and cavalry had completely different concepts. Although they did not belong to the aristocratic class, they had privileges comparable to the imperial examination. As a member of professional soldiers, knights from aristocratic families usually pursued becoming front-line commanders, while knights from civilians often started with senior aristocratic guards.

It is a glorious thing to act as a escort knight who acts as a level 4 warlock. They are also very serious. Even though the sky is dark, there are still people guarding the door, swaying their heads boredly.

The knight guarding the gate saw Cheng Jinzhou's lantern from a distance. After watching it carefully for a moment, he asked, "Is it the third brother?"

They all recognize Cheng Jinzhou and have a good impression of him. Not every 13-year-old child has the courage and ability to turn the tide.

"Is it the Knight Yue Zhendong?" Cheng Jinzhou recalled the other party's name, picked up the lantern and placed it on his face and smiled: "Are the sorcerer Liu Kuangxing and the sorcerer Wang Linghexing?"

He deliberately ignored Lu Xu who was pouring cold water on him.

"I'm afraid I'm working in the room at this moment." Yue Zhendong took a step forward, lowered his voice and said, "Do you have something to do?"

"It's not a very urgent matter." Cheng Jinzhou smiled.

"Jinzhou? Come in when you come." Liu Kuang showed his outstanding ears. In addition to the third and fourth level high-level star warriors, ordinary star warriors will not be too luxurious to continue using the star array.

The Knight quickly made way and said with a smile: "Enter the door and walk through the small garden, turn left to see the yard of the sorcerer Liu Kuangxing."

Cheng Jinzhou smacked his lips. At such a long distance, the fourth-level star warlock was indeed very tricky. He thought maliciously that if this guy traveled through the 21st century, he could drive famous cars every day as a tabloid reporter.

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw four astrology warlocks gathered together. The nearly 100 square meters of open-air courtyard was also covered with whiteboards, with formulas and numbers written on them.

"I'm disturbing your work." Cheng Jinzhou smiled embarrassedly, looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "Is it a little cold in the yard?"

"Do you think it's cold?" Liu Kuang said with a smile.

"Oh?" Cheng Jinzhou realized that he could not feel the cold at all in the small courtyard where Liu Kuang lived, and there was no charcoal fire around him. When he was in the room, he even had to wear a pretty cotton jacket. At this moment, several astrology warlocks were only wearing single clothes.

Dr. Cheng Da looked around with an inquiring look, and at the same time unbuttoned the buttons of his collar, the environment seemed to be really hot.

Liu Kuang smiled and pointed to the ground and said, "It's just a simple star array."

"It's so convenient." This is absolutely enviable. Ordinary air conditioners are afraid that they don't have such power. If every household installs it, heating, air conditioning and other things, they can completely retire.

Cheng Jinzhou was thinking, and Xiang Xin smiled: "It's not convenient at all. I spent 3,500 taels of silver to draw this star array."

"3500?" Cheng Jinzhou almost dropped his chin. 3500 taels of silver is more than 100,000 US dollars in purchasing power. If it is used to burn heating, it can be used in a community. If it is used to hire labor, a small book boy like Shiyan can hire 2,000 people, and it is enough to use people to build a house.

"It's mainly to let Xiang Xin practice." Liu Kuang said nothing: "After the level of astrology warlock is high, he will not be short of money. If you want to say that there is really something, it means contributing points. After all, a person's intelligence is limited. Only by brainstorming can you understand the world more deeply."

"Yes, yes, although I am not a one-star warlock, I still earned a lot of contribution points." Lu Xu finally found something to say, but his exit made people laugh.

Cheng Jinzhou did not accept their words, laughed twice, and instead changed to a serious face and said, "Actually, I came here to say goodbye to you."

"Say your goodbye? Why?" Xiang Xin called out first.

Wang Linghe also turned his head to express his concern.

"My father asked me to go to Hongwenguan." Cheng Jinzhou whispered. It was very easy for him to call Cheng Yunan's father again.

Several astrology warlocks looked at each other, and Wang Linghe laughed first and said, "This is a good thing..."

Everyone is smart and has a similar judgment on the situation. Cheng Jinzhou, who has lost his protection, has the status of a noble and the qualifications of a star sorcerer. It is time to move forward bravely. No matter whether Cheng Yunan is demoted or died, he can only rely on himself to turn around. Entering the Hongwenguan is indeed the best way out for the nobles.

The biggest tragedy is not falling, and you have no ability to turn over after falling.

"How are you going to leave?" Liu Kuang asked for a moment of contemplation.

"The snow has almost melted, so let's take a carriage." Cheng Jinzhou wanted to ride a horse, but his mother firmly opposed it. Considering that long-distance travel in winter, riding a horse may be very painful, Cheng Jinzhou also gave up the idea of ​​practicing riding with fast horses and whip all the way.

If I weren't worried that Cheng Yunan might be guilty, I wanted to enter Hongwenguan before, and in two months it would be the best time for the weather. But by then, a censor who wanted to earn qualifications might have been lying under the grape trellis at home with satisfaction, planning for the next impeachment.

"We are also preparing to return to Beijing recently. If you can answer a question, I can consider letting you take a flight and join us." Liu Kuang smiled not like an old man, but like a teacher who deliberately asked for trouble. He could no longer see the coldness and politics in his face, although Cheng Jinzhou had already kept that look firmly in his heart.

Aircraft are somewhat like airships from the 18th century. They are slightly slower in speed and use star arrays for power devices. The price is imaginable, but the comfort level is also improved. It may take only two or three days to get from Shaonan to Beijing, which is really much more comfortable.

Cheng Jinzhou was a little moved to look at the whiteboard on all sides, which were composed of ellipses, parabolas, and formulas composed of various symbols. Liu Kuang represented the highest level of mathematics in this era. They were still wandering outside the gate of analytical geometry and had not yet formed a complete concept.

"What's the problem?" he asked tentatively.

"Just tell me how much you know about their properties. Let me see what you think outside of plane geometry." Liu Kuang was speaking in a tone of teaching examination. In the eyes of the astrology warlock, although Cheng Jinzhou made surprising propositions, it does not mean that he has the level of a first-class star warlock. It only means that he is concerned about things that others have not paid attention to.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows and looked from left to right. Every three or four white boards painted with soft paint leaned against each other, describing circles, ellipses, hyperbolas, and parabolas... Without looking at the text content in it carefully, he already understood that what this group of people was studying was the famous conical curve.
