When Zhang Weixin and the others were sleeping in the warm quilt, Wang Kunjun, who was also in a comfortable mood in the Yuxu Palace, was not so good. Because December 20 was the day when he and Zhong Yuanwai agreed to hold the marriage ceremony and give the dowry gift, he got up early in the morning, accompanied by Yuxuzi, with Wang Feng and all kinds of gifts needed for the gift of acceptance, under the escort of Wu Peng, and the twelve people who went to see the excitement and the tribute ceremony, sat in six newly bought carriages driven by many Taoist children in the Yuxu Palace, and went to Zhong Yuanwai's mansion to complete the major event of engagement.

At noon, the brigade of the Jade Void Palace arrived at the Zhong Mansion. Zhong Youpeng and his family warmly welcomed them in, and the two sides sat down separately, and then completed all the etiquette of the engagement according to the previous process taught by Yuxuzi. The time of welcoming relatives is set on the eighteenth day of the first month, and the wedding venue is naturally set at the house that the crossing people bought in Liangxiang City. Then Zhong Youpeng put on a banquet and feasted everyone in Yuxu Palace.

Because everyone is an old acquaintance, except for Wang Feng, who is a little restrained in the face of his future father-in-law and eldest brother, everyone else is very open, and a group of people are pushing cups and changing glasses and drinking so lively.

At the banquet, Zhong Youpeng said to him after exchanging a few glasses of wine with Wang Kunjun: "A few days ago, the leader of the king told Zhong that he had to postpone the time of moving because of the matter of the Five Tiger Village in Xiayunling. Now I don't know if the matter of the Five Tigers Village has been resolved, when do the leaders of the king and the Taoist leaders plan to move to live in Liangxiang City? ”

Wang Kunjun knew that he was worried that the crossing side would be delayed for too long because of the matter of the Five Tiger Village and the time of the wedding, so he thought about it for a while and replied: "Zhong Yuanwai doesn't have to worry, the matter of the Five Tiger Village has been almost solved at present, and there is no need to participate in Xia and Xiaofeng in a day or two." I guess in three days at the most, we'll start moving. Although there is now a variable in Wuhu Village, the previous living arrangements may be adjusted, but it can be guaranteed that Xiaofeng's residence will definitely be arranged in Liangxiang City. In the next meeting, a cross-courtyard will be set aside in the original Qi house for the couple to live alone, which can be completely relieved. ”

Zhong Youpeng saw that Wang Kunjun attached great importance to this matter, and promised to arrange a separate cross-hospital residence for his daughter and son-in-law, and felt a lot relieved. Although with his original intention, he hoped that Wang Feng would be able to set up his own door and buy a small courtyard to live in Liangxiang or Fanyang City. But first, he has a better understanding of these "returnees", and knows that they are currently unwilling for any member to live alone from the group. Second, he also knows that although these "returnees" obtained a large amount of silver money through auction some time ago, the money is not one of them, but everyone's. According to what his son learned from these returnees, they did not divide the money equally, as is usually done, but only gave a small part of it. The rest are used as so-called collective investment funds, ready to be invested in different areas to make money. so that greater benefits can be obtained.

Although his future son-in-law nominally has a few thousand yuan of silver, he actually has only five or six hundred yuan now. Although this money is enough to buy a house, considering the long-term life in the future and all kinds of expenses, if this future son-in-law can't find a way to make money, then one day he will have to sit on a mountain and eat nothing. And letting him and his companions make money together is probably the most haode choice at this stage.

The problem of the new house was solved, and Zhong Youpeng began to discuss the wedding banquet with Wang Kunjun. In accordance with the concept of Wang Kunjun and others, the ideal way is to find a large restaurant, such as Tianfu Tower, as they did in their previous lives, as they did in their previous lives, as the venue for the ceremony. Set up a dozen tables or even dozens of tables of banquets, and the relatives and friends of both sides can have a lively time together. It's grand and convenient, but it doesn't work now. In this era, the daughter-in-law must have to set up wine and entertain guests in her own home, and the relevant ceremonies must also be held in her own home, so Wang Kunjun told Zhong Youpeng that he would hold a ceremony in the house in Liangxiang City, feast guests, and invite the chef of Tianfulou to serve at that time.

Since he talked about the happy wine, Wang Kunjun also followed this conversation and asked Zhong Youpeng how many relatives and friends would attend his mother's side, and he had to prepare in advance. Unexpectedly, such a simple and ordinary question made Zhong Youpeng fall into silence and was speechless for a long time. And Zhong Shiwen, who was next to him, looked at his father and showed a look of wanting to speak and stopping, as if he couldn't understand his father's meaning and didn't dare to speak directly.

Although Wang Kunjun felt strange, he did not urge. In his opinion, the reason why Zhong Yuanwai has such a reaction is probably that there is still something involving his own privacy that is hesitant to explain it to him. Fortunately, after thinking about it for a while, Zhong Youpeng finally made up his mind, he changed his happy expression just now, and said to Wang Kunjun with a serious face: "Before answering Leader Wang's question, Zhong needs to confess to Leader Wang and all your companions. Zhong has hidden something from you before, and I hope you can understand. ”

After speaking, Zhong Youpeng got up and saluted Wang Kunjun and all the traversers present. This frightened everyone, and everyone quickly got up to avoid it, and they didn't even dare to say it. Wang Kunjun even held Zhong Youpeng in one hand, preventing the other party from giving a real gift. Zhong Youpeng didn't insist, and with the support of Wang Kunjun and his son, he returned to his seat and sat down, and began to explain his true identity to the people present with grief and indignation.

It turned out that this Zhong Youpeng Zhongyuan's surname was Lu, and his name was Zupeng, who was a distant branch of the Lu family in Fanyang, and was a distant brother with Lu Zuchang, the head of the Lu family at that time. Although it is a distant relative, after all, they are all clans in the same lineage, so they still have a care, and Lu Zupeng will also visit this distant brother during the New Year's holidays.

Lu Zupeng has been a good student since he was a child, and when he grew up, he also passed the examination and became a scholar, and he did a job in Liangxiang County. Just didn't think of disaster from the sky, two years ago, Lu Zuchang offended Xiao Siwen's concubine who stayed in Nanjing because of his son, and his family wealth was coveted by Xiao Siwen, and Xiao Siwen was accused of rebellion and the whole family was imprisoned, and Lu Zupeng, a distant relative, was not spared.

Fortunately, Lu Zupeng's wife's maiden brother is a magistrate in the Nanjing Left-behind Mansion, and when he saw that his brother-in-law was wrongfully imprisoned, he naturally couldn't sit idly by and planned to rescue him. Of course, it is impossible to overturn the case for the Lu family, but through the people around Xiao Siwen, it is still possible to save Lu Zupeng, an insignificant distant relative, with some money. ,

So after going up and down and spending a lot of money, Lu Zupeng was finally released from prison. It's just that after such a catastrophe, he can't do it as a good hometown student and politician -- Xiao Siwen promised not to take his life and not confiscate his family property, which is already very face-saving, and it is wishful thinking to be an official again. Later, out of the consideration of avoiding trouble, Lu Zupeng simply changed his name and changed Lu Zupeng to Zhong Youpeng, and since then he has been a rich man.

Of course, the rest of the Lu family was not so lucky, except for Lu Zuchang's family, who was beheaded all over the house, the other clansmen were also killed and exiled, and there were basically no people left.

After listening to Zhong Youpeng's words, everyone present was surprised. Some members even began to slander this so-called Zhong Yuan, complaining in their hearts that he didn't say anything earlier, you have a grudge against that Xiao Siwen, what if it implicates us. At this time, the marriage is finalized, and it is too late to regret it.

Although Wang Kunjun was also surprised, he did not blame Zhong Youpeng for hiding the situation. On the one hand, in his opinion, it is reasonable for Zhong Yuanwai to hide it when he didn't know much about each other. Now that the younger generations of both parties are engaged, they are already considered a family, and it is normal to tell the truth at this time. Moreover, Zhong Yuanwai can also be called everyone's benefactor, and he has been helped by him since he traveled through Zhongyi to this time and space, which is a great foundation for everyone to be able to gain a foothold here. It's too late to thank the people, where is there any reason for resentment.

On the other hand, through the exchange with Zhang Weixin, he also has some understanding of the history that is about to happen in this era or in his previous life, and he also has some confidence in the ability of Xiao Siwen who stayed in Nanjing. Knowing that this is a guy who has no real skills, he knows how to shoot the sycophants of the emperor of Liao. Even if he comes to trouble himself in the future because of Zhong Yuanwai, with the team's current ability, although he can't put the other party to death, he should still be able to protect himself.

Therefore, after Zhong Youpeng finished telling his experience, Wang Kunjun said to him sincerely: "Zhong Yuanwai can tell such a secret thing, which shows that Zhongyuan is quite trusting of his companions and his companions, and we thank him for his trust." Wang Mou is not talented, although he is just a civilian cloth, but his heart of justice is not less than that of others. For a villain like Xiao Siwen, his heart is also full of indignation. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at all the traversers present, and then said, "Not only below, but also these companions below, I believe they will also have the same idea. ”

At this time, the other traversers immediately chimed in, even a few who were a little dissatisfied. It's not that these people are inconsistent, but human nature. Although they were dissatisfied with Zhong Yuanwai's deception, they also remembered Zhong Yuanwai's kindness. In this way, the dissatisfaction with Zhong Yuanwai will also dissipate.

After this episode, the topic returned to the wedding. After learning about Zhong Youpeng's life experience, it is logical that there are only a few relatives on the bride's side who participated in the wedding. The few relatives were from Mrs. Zhong's family, mainly her brother and sister, and one or two cousins who were a little more distant. These people are afraid that they won't even be able to get together two tables, if it weren't for Zhong Youpeng and many good friends, the guests on his mother's side would be too rare than dozens of people on his mother-in-law's side.

After calculating the number of people attending the wedding banquet, Wang Kunjun told Zhong Youpeng that he, the returnees from overseas, did not know much about many of the rules of Middle-earth, and hoped that the Zhong Mansion could send someone to help with the cooking so as not to make mistakes. The reason why Zhong Fu was asked to help was because it was impossible for Yuxuzi, who had been helping all along, to leave Yuxu Palace for a long time to go to Liangxiang City to check for them.

For Wang Kunjun's request, Zhong Youpeng naturally will not refuse, and he also hopes that his daughter can marry beautifully. immediately said that he would send the old housekeeper Zhong Fu to Liangxiang City with Wang Kunjun and others to help prepare for the wedding. Wang Kunjun repeatedly expressed his gratitude for this and said that he had worked hard.

After lunch, the traversers chatted for a while on the Zhongyuanwai Mansion, and seeing that it was not early, they said goodbye to the Zhongyuanwai and drove to Xiayunling to prepare for the adaptation ceremony to be held the next day.
