Seeing that the New Year is approaching, the business of Qingya Tea House seems to be better, because many officials take this opportunity to treat guests and give gifts, and contact feelings, so that they can grasp the best opportunity when the personnel adjustment is made after the year.

Although Qu Wu has not been mixed with officialdom, he has also read novels such as "The Appearance of Officialdom" before, and under this similar bureaucratic system, it is inevitable that there are similar routines from ancient times to the present.

However, Sun Shuao, who works in the Qingya Teahouse, seems to be a little dissatisfied with the ugliness of some officials here, although his face does not show any displeasure, but his heart is full of contempt for these officials who nod their heads in front of them and poke others in the back.

Sun Shuao's favorite person here is Qu Wu, one is that Qu Wu is not a bureaucrat, neither whispering to high-ranking officials, nor dictating to subordinates and waiters; Second, Qu Wu is very polite to himself, speaking unhurriedly, methodically, and pleasantly; The third is that Qu Wu always has some surprises for everyone, or rhetoric that everyone has never thought of, and many things and information are eye-opening.

Whenever Qu Wu came, Sun Shuao liked to chat with Qu Wu for a while, and often asked Qu Wu for some principles of being a man and doing things.

Sun Shuao's humility, diligence and studious eagerness were familiar to the officials who came and went to the Qingya Teahouse. At the recommendation of the eldest grandson, Sang Zhi sent someone to the teahouse to find Mi Hong, saying that he would hire Sun Shuao to serve in the Sitian government, starting with the paperwork and assisting Sang Zhi's work.

Mi Hong is very clear about Sang Zhi's character, and his nephew can be completely relieved to follow him, and Sun Shuao's career has also begun.

Qu Wu's wedding preparations are also in full swing. Although he is a commoner, he marries a wife who is proud, so he can neither be too ostentatious nor too low-key.

Holding a wedding on the Shangyuan Festival was Qu Wu's suggestion to accept Gongsun Feng. Because the day before the Shangyuan Festival every year is the day when the leaders and elders of the Qingyun Gang come to Yingdu to gather, and some big helmsmen will also come to participate in the meeting, there are a total of 20 Qingyun Gang branches in various parts of China, and there are 60 or 70 people participating in each annual gathering, which is very lively.

This year is even different, the sub-gang leaders, elders, and helmsmen of the Qingyun Gang are not familiar with the new gang leaders, and everyone is curious about where the new gang leader who can make Gongsun Feng, the former number one martial arts master in the world, happy and convincing Rang Xian, is sacred, and they all want to come to see his style, so there will be more sub-gang leaders, elders and helmsmen who come.

In order to meet these sub-gang leaders, elders, and helmsmen, Qu Wu tried his best.

In the past, when Gongsun Feng was the gang leader, some of the gang leaders stayed in guest houses, and some lived on the Qingyun, because Gongsun Feng's mansion was too small, and this time, the new gang leader was ready to take all the gang leaders, elders, and helmsmen to his Qu Mansion to live.

In addition to preparing beds and bedding for these sub-gang elders, Qu Wu also made uniform new clothes for everyone.

In order to distinguish the gang leader, the elder, and the helmsman, different styles and colors of clothes were prepared, firstly, as gifts, in response to the Chinese people's tradition of wearing new clothes during the New Year, and secondly, it was also conducive to identifying the identity of the other party and making it easy to manage.

Qu Wu also prepared new clothes for the brothers who were about to come to Yingdu, and made corresponding arrangements for food, housing and transportation.

After the New Year, the leaders of the Qingyun Gang who came to participate in the annual gathering of the Qingyun Gang and the wedding of Qu Wu began to set off for Yingdu one after another; And Qu Wu's group of friends also set off in advance, from Gusu, Hanyue, and Zhuye to Yingdu.

The disciples of the Qingyun Gang in Yingdu also benefited from the gathering within the gang and the upcoming wedding of the gang leader, Qu Wu set up a canteen in the backyard of Qu Mansion, so that the ordinary disciples of the Qingyun Gang could eat in the canteen during the Chinese New Year, and there was meat and fish every day, which made the disciples of the other two beggars envious.

From the tenth day of the first month, the gang leaders, elders, and helmsmen of the gang began to arrive in Yingdu, and the Wurong Wujiang brothers, Ji Zhiji brothers, and Chen Damao also arrived in Yingdu successively.

Qu Wu's brothers met again, and everyone was very happy. Although Wu Jiang and Chen Damao brothers were estranged, they pretended that nothing had happened in front of Qu Wu, and Wu Jiang did not say a word about Princess Ji Shao's list.

Everyone opened two tables of mahjong in Qu Mansion and played happily for a few days.

The day before the Shangyuan Festival, after intense preparations, the annual gathering of the Qingyun Gang was held in the compound of the Qu Mansion, the chief gang leader Qu Wu, the deputy chief gang leader Gongsun Feng, the great elder Li Qianmo and the sub-gang leaders, elders, and helmsmen from all over the country attended, and everyone introduced the major activities and challenges of the Qingyun Gang in various places over the past year, and exchanged many survival skills and practical experiences.

Early in the morning of the Shangyuan Festival, Qu Wu's horse convoy was on standby in the compound early, ready to set off to welcome his relatives.

Qu Wu has imagined his wedding countless times since he was a child: a long line of BMW convoys, a large group of handsome men in white shirts and vests, marching to the bride's community, carrying the bride to the car amid the deafening sound of firecrackers and the blessings of relatives and friends, and personally driving the bride back to the new house he had prepared.

And now, the BMW fleet is a real horse-drawn carriage; Accompanying him is a group of brothers who are in love with each other; Although there are no firecrackers, the lively atmosphere is not bad at all; The only regret is that there is no blessing from the parents and family.

Qu Wu wore a dark brocade robe, thick-soled leather boots, and a big red ribbon colored ball on the carriage, and led the horse convoy to Ziyan's house.

The motorcade came to the Zijia mansion and stood for Ziyan's marriage lineup, in addition to Zixin, Zigui and their adoptive parents, as well as the eldest grandson and Mi Hong couple, because Pan Hong was the best friend of Zi Yan's mother, so Mi Hong and his wife replaced the role of Zi Yan's parents.

Qu Wu still carried a wild goose into the lobby of the Zijia family according to the traditional wedding procedures, put the wild goose on the ground, gave a big salute to the Mihong couple, and listened to the teachings of the Mihong couple.

After listening to the elders' teachings, Qu Wu entered the inner room, took out Zi Yan, who was wearing a red brocade robe, and helped her into the carriage.

Although Zi Yan knew that Qu Wu had bought a mansion before, she had never been here, and she became the hostess of this mansion when she came to Qu Mansion for the first time.

After entering Qu's house, Qu Wu led Ziyan into the lobby, and then the husband and wife worshipped, meaning to respect each other like guests, and under the witness of relatives and friends, they performed a joint ceremony, that is, drank a glass of wine, and the two officially became husband and wife.

After the ceremony of the union is to send the newlyweds into the cave room, Qu Wu took Zi Yan's hand and entered the cave room, Zi Yan sat on the edge of the bed, Qu Wu used a double-hook scale to pick up the red hijab on Zi Yan's head, Zi Yan's face was delicate like a budding flower, and her excitement and shyness made her face red.

Although the two have long been familiar with each other like relatives, after all, they have never crossed the last boundary between men and women, so Qu Wu and Ziyan are looking forward to this moment.

Without the blessing of his parents, Qu Wu can still feel the family responsibility on his shoulders, although Ziyan is not the first woman in his life, and she is not destined to become the last woman in his life, but she is the first woman to marry herself.

And for Ziyan's cave room, the candle night is the most important life gift in her life, because from this moment, she has crossed from a girl to a woman; This moment also determines the path of her life in the future.
