The clan of Yang Zhai Chu clan is located in Maqun Street, and it is said that Sun Wu first set up a horse farm here, so it was named.

Compared with the Shendu Cheng clan composed of layers of pavilions and pavilions, although the interior of the Yang Zhai Chu clan is similar, there are still differences in decorative details:

The former likes to decorate the reception corridor with long swords and axes, symbolizing the kinetic energy of the iron shot. The latter is a variety of metal crystals, housed in a barstool or decorative cabinet, which looks like a mineral museum.

"What is this?" Xing Yuanzhi looked at the yellow crystal in the glass case, the glittering luster had a natural attraction to women.

"Pure siderite of gem quality." Chu Qingqing replied, "It's beautiful, isn't it?" It's nearly impossible to find a single crystal with such a perfect stacking structure in nature, and it can only be made with our metal manipulation abilities. ”

Xing Yuanzhi didn't speak, but she looked at her expression a little likely.

"If you like it, Yuan Zhi, I can make one for you after this mission." Chu Qingqing said with a smile, "A gem of this size will be fine in almost three days." ”

"How embarrassing is this......" Xing Yuanzhi said politely.

"It's fine." Chu Qingqing smiled charmingly, "Although it is a very high-priced rare mineral outside, for the Yang Zhai Chu Clan, it is just a product of our ability practice. Usually we only give it to the scholars who are good friends as a symbol of friendship. ”

Cheng Jinyang looked at it with his hands behind his back, and Chu Qingqing leaned over and asked:

"Brother Jinyang, do you have any favorite gems? I can do that for you, too. ”

"What is this?" Cheng Jinyang picked up a transparent bead on the table next to him and asked.

"This." Chu Qingqing was silent, "It's a glass bead." Maybe it's the ...... left behind by the children of the clan playing marbles."

"Can you do it?" Cheng Jinyang asked casually.

“…… No. ”

"Glass beads have no metal components." Xing Yuanzhi reminded him in a low voice.

"That's right." Cheng Jinyang nodded, "If it's not metal, there's no way." ”

Chu Qingqing: ..................

Although what he said is true, the other party's tone is not malicious, but why is there a subtle feeling of being looked down upon?

"By the way, I'll make you a flying sword!" She smiled again, "Cheng's gravitational pull, isn't it very fond of using flying swords?" ”

"Well, thank you for your kindness." Cheng Jinyang politely thanked him.

The three of them walked through the welcome corridor and came to Chu's living room.

"Neither my father nor my brother are in the clan today, so I'll give you a brief introduction." Spread out the paper on the coffee table, picked up a pen, and Chu Qingqing sketched a pedigree chart on the paper:

"The current patriarch of the family is the father."

She wrote the word "Chu" on the paper, marked "father" next to it, and wrote the word "Xie" next to it, marked "mother".

"My mother is from the Fufeng Xie clan, and there is no possibility that these two people will have any suspicion. Because the father of the family is the patriarch, he has the right to decide on family affairs. If you want to lead the clan to Wuchang, there is no need to use this treacherous means at all. ”

Then, under her father, she wrote the names of the two people.

"The eldest brother Chu You'an, who is currently a regular attendant of the loose cavalry, is in charge of science and education affairs in the clan. The second brother, Chu Xifu, is not good at practice, and is currently just wandering and talking. ”

The loose cavalry squire, translated as "the emperor's adviser", is a fictitious title in this era, and is used to gild the children of the family, similar to the "office director" and "minister of corporate culture" of modern state-owned enterprises.

Chu Qingqing's eldest brother hung up a false title in order to pave the way for the future succession of the heir. Its actual work is to be in charge of scientific and educational affairs within the clan. In other words, it is almost like the status of Cheng Yuexian's cousin in the Shendu Cheng clan.

Considering that this kind of affairs is usually relatively leisurely, and basically does not leave the clan land, and does not involve political affairs, the suspicion of this eldest brother is relatively small.

As for the second brother, the so-called "not good at practice" and "just talking", that is, "no job", "blowing water in the family circle on the Internet every day", the possibility of being stamped has greatly increased.

Cheng Jinyang thought about it, and saw Chu Qingqing next to the two brothers, marking his name.

"Myself, I don't need to introduce myself for the time being, right? In fact, my family is still the most suspicious of me, because I am not related to my parents and two brothers. ”

She said calmly, pulling the hair that hung down to her forehead: "Although I don't have any memory of betraying my family at all, there is also the possibility of being secretly planted with a thought seal. If you want to investigate and analyze it in the future, please be sure to take my information into account as well. ”

Cheng Jinyang and Xing Yuanzhi looked at each other and did not speak.

"Except for my family's branch, it is the uncle's line, and the current daily family affairs are basically on their side, including metal mining, smelting, processing and other production and business activities."

Chu Qingqing wrote the word "Chu" next to his father again, marking "uncle".

"Although it's hard to say that, considering the responsibility of the metal hydrogen plant, the suspicion on the uncle's side is still greater."

Cheng Jinyang nodded, indicating that he fully understood what she meant.

In this era, there is often a clear division of labor among family members.

For example, in the Shendu Cheng clan, the patriarch Cheng Qingxin is in politics, the old Cheng Qingyuan of the second clan is in charge of scientific research, and the old Cheng Qingping of the third clan is responsible for managing clan affairs, that is, the military employment business of the Tianluo department.

So if something goes wrong in Tianluo, the suspicion of the elders of the three clans must be the greatest.

Metal smelting and processing is almost the daily family affairs of the Yang Zhai Chu family. The technical data for extracting and transporting metallic hydrogen are naturally in the hands of her uncle.

"Uncle Chu Mouyuan, the official to the Tun cavalry captain, is in charge of the armored production line of the military industry. If he votes for Wuchang, I'm afraid that the vehicles of the entire Shenwu Army will have to be overhauled. Chu Qingqing said with a smile, "So, I don't think he is very suspicious." ”

"Cousin Chu Xisheng, who serves in the county government of Yuzhang County, and presides over the family's mineral smelting and mining work over there, just returned to Jiankang City last month to seek a career change."

Chu Qingqing wrote his cousin's name below the uncle, and then drew a few circles casually.

Well, it means "focused suspicion object". Cheng Jinyang instantly understood.

"There is also a cousin, Chu Debiao, who is also from a poor family, who has been registered with me for about the same time, and has passed under the name of the uncle's house."

Chu Qingqing is below the uncle's family, and on the right side of his cousin Chu Xisheng, the name of "Chu Debiao" is written, and a circle is also marked.

"At present, he, like me, is making up the foundation in ethnology on weekdays, and has not participated in some specific affairs."

The child of a family has been educated in the theory of supernatural abilities in the family science since the age of 6. As for the children of the Han family who later joined together, they must have been congenitally deficient in this regard, so after they returned to the family, they had to spend extra time to make up for the foundation.

The later you join the family, the more knowledge base you leave behind, the more time you need to make up for it, and basically don't want to leave the clan class for the first few years.

As for Cheng Jinyang, a perverted guy who showed a rare talent in a certain aspect not long after he studied ethnology, and was exceptionally admitted to the family department, it belongs to the category of extraordinary, not the norm for children of poor families.

The three of them carefully looked at the pedigree chart in Chu Qingqing's hand.

In other words, those who have the possibility of becoming an inner ghost are the eldest uncle Chu Mouyuan (especially the two cousins), and the patriarch Chu Jiye (Chu Qingqing's two elder brothers).

"Since you're more suspicious of your uncle's side, let's start with your two cousins."

Cheng Jinyang thought and said.

"No, let's start with my two older brothers." Chu Qingqing said with a smile.
