The Spring Festival in the fourth year of the calendar (954) is the first New Year that everyone has celebrated, and everyone naturally attaches great importance to it. In addition to carrying out various activities in accordance with the New Year's customs of this era, all the traversers - including a few of the soldiers in charge of training in Feilong Village also temporarily descended the mountain - before the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, they gathered at the Qi family courtyard, which had been renamed "Jingyuan", placed a case and various offerings in the backyard, bowed in the direction of the sea, remembered the relatives in the past life who had been separated from their time and space, and remembered where they came from, which was also the rule set by the plenary meeting at the beginning.

After the sacrifice was completed, Qian Yuanshan and the others returned to Feilong Village non-stop, while the others returned to Yuxu Palace. Subsequently, at Wang Feng's request, You Yuan took out one hundred and fifty cannonballs and distributed them to all the people who crossed the crowd to add some festive atmosphere. So in the roar and flash of more than 100 firecrackers, everyone happily ushered in the first day of the four years.

After a few days of excitement, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, moving Jihua, which had been on hold for a month, was once again put on the agenda. Considering that Wang Feng was going to marry Zhong Ziqi on the eighteenth day of the first month, everyone had to prepare in advance and start moving when the festive atmosphere was strong.

Fortunately, with the experience of the last time, and the Jade Void Palace's own carriage was enough to use this time, so with the joint efforts of everyone, everything was packed up in just one morning. After lunch, everyone said goodbye to Yuxuzi and other Taoist priests in the temple and went down the mountain.

According to the new resolution made before, for safety reasons, in addition to the personnel who stayed in Feilong Village, the other people who traveled through the city first went to live in the "Qing Garden" in the city, and after the completion of the training in Feilong Village, a new security team was formed, and then dispersed according to their respective division of labor. In other words, for nearly three months after that, the business group could carry out its work normally, while the science and technology group could only make some preliminary preparations for the time being, and could not carry out large-scale research and development work according to Jihua. In this way, it will inevitably have an impact on the research and development progress of the science and technology group, and it may be difficult for Li Junwu and other engineers to come up with weapons such as flintlock pistols that the security group promised at the beginning.

Although the members of the science and technology team complained a little, they did not slack off, but aroused their enthusiasm even more. After internal discussions within the group, it was decided to use two blacksmith shops in Liangxiang City to serve themselves and outsource the production of relevant metal parts to them. The blacksmith will build the parts according to the relevant drawings provided by the technology team, and then the technology team will further process the parts. Similarly, the wooden part of the musket will be subcontracted to different carpenters to assemble the finished product together with the metal parts.

Of course, the drawings will not be handed over to these contractors all at once, especially the metal parts, the drawings will be scattered, and different travelers will take the drawing of one of the parts and take it to the two blacksmiths at a staggered time to build. At the same time, the blacksmith is not told what the parts are used for, they just build them according to the drawing. In this way, both blacksmith shops can only see part of the drawings, and they don't know what parts are drawn on these drawings, which effectively prevents jishu from leaking.

The committee agreed with the JHUA of the science and technology team and asked them to pay attention to the secrecy of the jishu. It is better to postpone the development of the product than to strictly abide by the discipline of confidentiality. Naturally, the science and technology group has no objection to this.

The first priority after everyone lived in the "Qing Garden" was to prepare for Wang Feng's wedding. After more than ten days, with the help of Zhong Fu, the housekeeper sent by Zhong Yuan, and Deng An, the former steward of Qi Mansion - the current "Qingyuan" housekeeper, all the traversers who lived here and the servants in the house took action, and finally prepared everything before the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. Even Tang Chao and Qingchen, the representatives of the members who stayed in Feilong Village, also took Liu Xiaoliu, who was the representative of Liu Wanbao, to the "Qingyuan" on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, just waiting for the day to come, Wang Feng brought the bride.

Early in the eighteenth day of the first month of the fourth year of the calendar, Wang Fengtong wore neat shoes, rode on a high-headed horse with red colors, and led the lively welcoming team, starting from the "Qingyuan", blowing all the way to the Zhong family's courtyard outside the city of Liangxiang. The reason why I went to the Zhongjia Courtyard was mainly because Zhong Yuanwai took into account the distance between the two counties of Liangxiang and Fanyang, and he was afraid that it would take a day to go back and forth, which would delay his work, so he took his family to the courtyard in advance to live temporarily, so as to reduce the time spent on the way to welcome relatives.

For the kindness of Zhong Yuanwai, it is naturally impossible to ask for it from the side of the crossing. No matter what Zhong Youpeng's intentions were to make friends with the crossers, his heart still made Wang Kunjun and Wang Feng very grateful.

After the welcoming team came to the Zhong family's courtyard, the etiquette that should be walked was all over, and the little sister of the Zhong family, who was wearing a red wedding dress and covered with a red hijab, put it on a sedan chair carried by eight people, and the team returned to the "Qingyuan" all the way. After some rituals such as brazier crossing, archery, saddle crossing, etc., the two newlyweds came to the wedding hall amid the sound of only one hundred and fifty firecrackers. After worshipping heaven and earth, worshipping the high hall, and after the husband and wife worshipped each other, a couple was sent into the cave room.

In the newly decorated new house, Wang Feng, the groom's official officer, under the urging of everyone, used a weighing rod to pick up the red hijab on Zhong Ziqi's head, revealing the bride's delicate and beautiful face. After drinking the wine, the couple changed their clothes and came to the front banquet to toast the elders, relatives and friends of both sides.

Although the county officials, chief bookkeepers, county lieutenants and others of Liangxiang County, including Huzhi County, as well as Zheng Zhutou, were present to congratulate. But in terms of numbers, the Zhong family's relatives and friends are still obviously fewer than those on the traversal side. In addition to Zhong Ziqi's uncle and aunt's family, there are only some colleagues and friends when Zhong Youpeng was an official. Compared with the scale of relatives and friends of nearly forty people on the side of the traversal group, including Yuxuzi, Qingchen and a few little Taoist priests, it is much smaller.

However, although there are few relatives and friends from my mother's family, there are many bright spots. The most striking of these is Zhong Ziqi's cousin, Han Qingwen, the daughter of her uncle, Han Deyi, the governor of the Nanjing Left-behind Prefecture. This Han girl is no worse than Zhong Ziqi in terms of appearance, but she is much quieter than Zhong's little sister in terms of behavior, and her every move is elegant.

Just like Zhang Weixin secretly said to Wang Kunjun after seeing this girl, although this little girl is slightly worse than Yang Xiaoyun in appearance, her elegant temperament is not inferior to Yang Xiaoyun. You must know that Yang Beauty's demeanor and temperament have been cultivated after a long time of training and two years of work tests. It is definitely impossible for this Han girl to have this kind of experience, her temperament should have grown up in the family of an official eunuch since she was a child, and was slowly formed by the surrounding environment. Therefore, it seems that this elegant expression of hers is more natural and pure. ,

Wang Kunjun didn't notice this Han girl originally, it's not that he doesn't get close to women, or has aesthetic problems, but that he, as the groom's brother, needs to deal with the people who come to toast from time to time, and the most diligent of them are these traversers. Although Wang Kunjun is usually very easy-going and approachable, he often talks and chats with team members, and there is no arrogance. But after all, he is a member of the committee, and under Zhang Weixin's intention, Wang Kunjun's position in the minds of the traversers has gradually changed, and he has faintly become the leader of the team. Under this subtle influence, although everyone still communicates with him and expresses their thoughts as before, they rarely joke with him or gossip with him as before.

Today, with Wang Feng's wedding, there is finally such an opportunity to not go up or down, and these guys will naturally not let it go. Thirty traversers, except for the groom official Wang Feng and Zhang Weixin, who was trying to block the wine for his iron buddies, the other twenty-eight came to clink glasses with him, including Li Junwu and Li Gaogong, who were already in their fifties. In addition, the relatives and friends of the bride's family, especially Zheng Boming, who is known as a large number of Zheng Da headhunters, also came to join in the fun.

Faced with a flood of wine glasses, how could Wang Kunjun have time to see beautiful women. After hearing Zhang Weixin next to him whisper to him--Zhong Youpeng was at their table, so he couldn't discuss his niece in person--he took advantage of the fact that no one was toasting, and took a closer look at this Han girl. Then he whispered to Zhang Weixin: "Yes, she is indeed a beautiful and dignified beauty." ”

Zhang Weixin obviously didn't agree with the evaluation of the iron buddy, shook his head and said: "Not only is it dignified and beautiful, in my opinion, it can be called a peerless beauty." ”

After speaking, he looked at Miss Han again, pinched her chin with her hand and said to herself: "Looking at her dress, it is estimated that she is still in the boudoir and has not yet married." ”

Wang Kunjun patted him on the shoulder and quipped: "What are you kid thinking about?" What does it matter to you whether they are married or not? It's hard to have a stunning little sister of the Yang family, you are not enough, seeing that the little sister of the Han family looks good, you also want to take it into your arms. In this era, although a man can have three wives and four concubines, if you see one and love one like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before our house will not fit. ”

Zhang Weixin immediately denied it: "Don't talk nonsense, whoever sees one loves the other." The reason why I say this is purely for the sake of our team. What do you think, there are still about 20 people in our team, including you, who are all singles, and they are not young. If you continue to be so celibate, I'm afraid that there will be problems after a long time. In the past, when we didn't even have a foothold, we naturally didn't have the leisure to think about it. But now that we have some foundations, the marriage of this team member should also be on the agenda. I saw that this Miss Han family was superb-class in appearance and demeanor, so I wondered if I could have the opportunity to form this relationship with the Han family. First, it can solve the personal problems of the singles on our side, and secondly, it can get close to Han Deyi, the official of the Nanjing Left-behind Mansion, which is also beneficial to our future development. ”

Wang Kunjun was noncommittal to Zhang Weixin's statement. Of course, he also hopes that the team members can embrace the beauty, but he does not agree with Zhang Weixin's practice of mixing political factors in his marriage, so he did not express his position immediately. Just when Zhang Weixin wanted to communicate further with Wang Kunjun on this issue, Zhong Yuanwai, who was at the same table, had already raised his wine glass and said to Wang and Zhang with a smile: "What important matter are you two talking about, you can't drink wine anymore, and you don't eat food." Come, Zhong Mou salutes the two of you for a glass. ”

Wang and Zhang can't tell each other that we're talking about your niece and planning to get her hands on her. So he hurriedly said that he was talking about some business, and hurriedly picked up his wine glass to salute Zhong Youpeng.

Zhong Youpeng clinked glasses with the two of them one by one, waved his hand, and said disapprerovingly: "Today is such a happy day, you should drink happily, as for official affairs, it is not too late to talk about it tomorrow." ”

Wang and Zhang said that what Zhong Yuanwai said was very right, and it was indeed inappropriate to talk about business now, and then drank all the wine in the cup.

Wang and Zhang stopped talking about the Han family's sister, but gave others the opportunity to toast, and toasters came one after another. After dozens of people took turns attacking, although the alcohol content of this era was not very high, although Zhang Weixin helped block the wine, but our Wang Da Leader still began to feel dizzy after being poured dozens of glasses of wine. Also, because he only drank alcohol and didn't eat much, he felt very uncomfortable in his stomach. So after confessing his guilt to the Zhong Yuan who was at the same table, Wang Kunjun got up and left the table, preparing to go to the backyard to solve the gastrointestinal problem.
