In early September, the Double Ninth Festival is also called the Ascending Festival. The Taoist priests of the Yuxu Palace and yesterday went to the Zhongyuan family in the view, inserted dogwoods, enjoyed chrysanthemums, drank chrysanthemum wine, sacrificed to the gods for longevity, and then went up to eat Chongyang cake. The Yuxu Palace is built on the mountain, but it is very easy to climb the height. After calling friends, all the Taoist priests and the people of the Zhong family happily climbed the Baojin Mountain behind the Yuxu Palace.

Baojin Mountain is not too high, everyone climbed for less than an hour, except for Mrs. Zhong and the bell who accompanied her, they basically reached the top of the mountain. The clear blue sky, the beautiful mountains, and the lush trees on the mountains make everyone feel refreshed. Everyone spread a few tablecloths on the grass with them, put Chongyang cakes, chrysanthemum wine and other snacks on them, and dozens of people sat down in several circles, chatting while waiting for the Zhong Yuanwai couple who were left behind. After waiting for about half an hour, Zhong Yuanwai and his wife finally climbed to the top of the mountain. The crowd beckoned them to take their seats, and then began to push the cups and change the lamps, and drink heartily. Eating and drinking, talking and laughing.

After eating a few bites of Chongyang cake and drinking two glasses of chrysanthemum wine, Wang Kunjun chatted with Zhong Yuanwai, who was sitting next to him. After chatting for a while, Wang Kunjun talked about the topic and told Zhong Yuanwai about the Huang girl he met in Liangxiang County some time ago, wanting to hear Zhong Yuanwai's views on this matter, and hoping that he could use his relationship in Liangxiang County to investigate the origin of this Huang girl. After listening to Wang Kunjun's introduction, Zhong Youpeng pondered for a long time, and said: "Judging from the introduction of Leader Wang, who learned this title from Yu Xuzi, this Huang girl doesn't seem to have any ill will towards you. According to Zhong's judgment, this woman is probably a Qinglou woman, and the biggest possibility is that she is a so-called Qingqi person who sells her art but not her body. It is not surprising that these people, who make a living from music or dance, are quite fond of the poems of the chieftain, and show a bit of eagerness. However, the king's worries are also reasonable, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable. This matter is wrapped up in Zhong, and tomorrow Zhong will send someone to Liangxiang County, and ask Hu Zhi County to send capable people to investigate this person in detail. As soon as the results are available, the king is immediately informed. ”

Wang Kunjun hurriedly bowed and thanked: "Thank you so much, Zhong Yuanwai, come, I will toast you a glass below." ”

Zhong Youpeng picked up his wine glass and said: "Leader Wang doesn't have to be polite, you and I are our own people, and if you always say this thank you, you will be divided." After that, the two touched each other's wine glasses, and they both drank it all.

After drinking two more glasses of wine, Zhong Youpeng saw that the people next to him were happily drinking and chatting, so he glanced at Wang Kunjun and motioned for him to go aside and have something to say. Wang Kunjun didn't know what he was going to say, so he got up and followed him to a place away from everyone. Zhong Youpeng seemed a little embarrassed to speak, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "Leader Wang, Zhong has something I want to discuss with you. ”

Wang Kunjun saw that he suddenly became a little stumbling, and he was puzzled, and hurriedly said: "Zhong Yuan, please have something to say." ”

Zhong Youpeng hesitated for a moment before he finally made up his mind and said, "This ......, that's the case, Zhong's daughter, has been in frequent contact with Wang Feng, the cousin of the leader of the king, in the past few months. Of course, Zhong believes in Wang Feng's character and believes that he will not do anything insulting. And Zhong is also very satisfied with him himself, and does not object to him dating the little girl. But after all, the little girl is still a yellow flower girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet, and this girl's reputation still needs to be scrupulous. So Zhong thinks that since the two of them are in love, we as parents should ......"

Wang Kunjun had already understood Zhong Youpeng's meaning at this time, he was afraid that Zhong Ziqi and Wang Feng would come and go so frequently, and they might be gossiped about, which would damage Zhong Ziqi's reputation, and hoped to determine the relationship between the two as soon as possible to block the mouths of good deeds. Since Zhong Yuanwai recognized the relationship between the two people, he naturally would not let go of this opportunity, knowing his cousin's thoughts, so he rushed to say: "Zhong Yuanwai means that we should think about their children and achieve this beautiful marriage." ”

Zhong Youpeng saw that Wang Kunjun understood what he meant, nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes, Zhong Mou is exactly what he meant, I don't know what the leader of the king thinks?" ”

Wang Kunjun also smiled: "I have already had this intention in the future." I just felt that Wang Feng might not even be able to support himself now, and he was much older than Miss Zhong, so he didn't dare to mention marriage. Now that Meng Yuanwai looks up to him, how can he disagree. ”

Zhong Youpeng obviously didn't agree with Wang Kunjun's words, and said: "Where did the leader of the king say something. Zhong took a fancy to his character and talent, how could he dislike him because he had no money and no power. ”

Wang Kunjun hurriedly saluted and said: "Zhong Yuan is not angry, he is thinking too much, and I ask Zhong Yuan to bear with me." ”

Zhong Youpeng saw that he was not compensating, and he was dissatisfied, and he went away, thinking that he had finally completed the task assigned by his wife and daughter, and there was a smile on his face again. Wang Kunjun saw that he was no longer angry, so he said again: "I have to ask Zhong Yuanwai for something next." ”

"Chief Wang, please have something to say."

"When I returned from overseas, I don't know much about the rules of Middle-earth, and I don't know what restrictions there are for a Taoist priest like Wang Feng to get married, and what procedures need to be done."

Zhong Youpeng heard that he was asking these questions, haha smiled, and comforted: "The leader of the king doesn't have to worry about this, the law of the Liao Kingdom does not prohibit Taoist priests from getting married." Moreover, he also asked the Taoist of Yuxuzi, and the sect you entered couldn't help but get married. So there is no need to go through any special procedures, as long as you follow the procedures for ordinary people to get married. ”

Only then did Wang Kunjun put his mind at ease and said: "Since this is the case, then you can rest assured." It's just that he and all his companions are not very familiar with the relevant etiquette laws of Middle-earth, and how to handle the marriage still needs more guidance from the bell staff, so as not to lose the etiquette. ”

Zhong Youpeng naturally agreed, and said that he would send someone to assist Wang Kunjun, and he would teach them all the etiquette and procedures, and he would never let others see the jokes, otherwise he Zhong Youpeng would not look good on his face. As for the specific time, Wang Kunjun still hopes to push it back, and it is best to arrange it after the fine wine auction. He felt that at least he could use the auction proceeds to arrange Wang Feng's marriage, after all, it was his cousin who married his daughter-in-law, and it was really inappropriate to let his father-in-law's family prepare everything. Besides, Zhong Ziqi can't go to Yuxu Palace to live after passing the door, it would be too shameless. If Wang Feng is asked to live in Zhong Yuanwai's house, I am afraid he will not agree, even modern new humans are not willing to go to live in his father-in-law's house. ,

Although Zhong Youpeng didn't want the marriage to drag on for too long, his own daughter knew that with how often she was running to Yuxu Palace now, and her attitude towards Wang Feng, Zhong Yuanwai was really a little uneasy, for fear that the two would make some "ugly things" before they got married. But what Wang Kunjun said also made sense, and he didn't want to save the other party's face too much, so he nodded and agreed.

In the end, the two agreed to hold an auction next month after the weather turned cold, and before that, Wang Kunjun would take out one of the high-end wine utensils and ask Zhong Yuanwai to take it to Fang Ji Jewelry Workshop, a jewelry store he trusted in Liangxiang County, and hand it over to his friend Fang Yingyu Fang's boss for temporary collection, so as to invite a few familiar wealthy merchants to watch there in advance, to prove that what he sells is indeed a genuine treasure, and it can be regarded as a publicity for future auctions. After the auction, depending on the auction situation, the two people will get married in December this year or the first month of next year, and the specific date will be determined at that time.

After the good things were discussed, the two of them returned to the crowd and continued to drink heartily, while the others were drinking at this time, and they did not care about the behavior of the two of them. Only the little sister of the Zhong family saw her father winceing at her, indicating that she was done, and couldn't help but be happy and ashamed, her cheeks were red and she lowered her head and snickered. Mrs. Zhong on the side was smiling, whispering in her daughter's ear, and buried her head in the crook of her arm when she said that the little sister Zhong never raised it again.

After eating and drinking, everyone sat on the mountain for a while and enjoyed the scenery of Baojin Mountain in autumn. According to Yuxuzi, the scenery on this Baojin Mountain will be better in late autumn, when the leaves of the trees will turn red, and looking at the past from the top of the mountain, it is definitely called the four words of the upper layer of the forest. It's a pity that the weather is not very cool now, and it is estimated that you will be able to enjoy the picturesque scenery in another month.

In the afternoon, everyone went down the mountain. Zhong Yuanwai's family returned to their home in Huangshan Store, while the true and false Taoist priests of Yuxu Palace continued their daily work. Wang Kunjun called Wang Feng aside, and told him about the marriage discussed with Zhong Yuanwai in the morning, this kid jumped happily, it is estimated that if Wang Kunjun didn't pull him, he would be able to run to the tree next to him and turn his head. Of course, this kid still had some complaints about waiting for three or four months to hold a wedding, but he was photographed back by Wang Kunjun's sentence "Do you want the little sister of the Zhong family to live in the Yuxu Palace". However, this kid didn't give up, and went to consult Zhang Weixin and Yu Xuzi, wanting to know if there were any formalities such as getting a marriage certificate in this era, and wanted to at least have a legal recognition first, so as to realize his "sinister intentions" that he could overthrow his little sister now, but he was disappointed. Zuihou actually went to the back mountain of Yuxu Palace to cut down trees, claiming that he wanted to do it himself and build a small cabin on the mountain to have his first "real estate". Wang Kunjun was so angry with him that he couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't forcibly stop his behavior.

In Wang Kunjun's opinion, this kid is a little too excited now, let him do some work, sell his strength, and vent his energy, so as not to hold back his problems. It's just that what our big leader Wang didn't expect was that as soon as this opening was opened, the "real estate development" on the mountain behind the Yuxu Palace soon became extremely popular. Zhao Dawei and Liang Ziyue, two guys who have formal wives but rarely can eat their mouths now, as well as Liu Wendong and Xu Shaoan, two guys who have drawn themselves to the prospective wives and are also difficult to eat now, were actually inspired by Wang Feng to go to the back mountains with him to "develop real estate" -- of course, there is some distance between their properties so as not to interfere with each other.

For a while, the enthusiasm for the "construction" of the mountain behind the Yuxu Palace was high, which made Wang Kunjun have to sigh that people's subjective initiative and physical potential can be so strong, which is really jaw-dropping. But after many days of felling, the over-energized fellows had to stop and look at the large pile of thick logs, and only then did they realize that they had spent a long time cutting down so many trees, but none of them knew how to cover them. Not only them, but none of the traversers were familiar with architecture, and none of these Taoist priests in the Yuxu Palace were familiar with building buildings. They now have a pile of materials, but they still can't make their wish come true. After being depressed for a few days, Wang Feng found a solution to the problem. He borrowed some money from Yuxuzi, let Qingchen lead the way, went to Liangxiang County, found a craftsman who built a house, contracted the project to this craftsman, and asked the other party to recruit manpower to go to the mountain behind Yuxu Palace and build five wooden houses.

Just two days after the five over-energetic guys began to cut down the tree, on the fifteenth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, Yu Xuzi came to Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin early in the morning and handed them a letter. Wang Kunjun opened it and took a look, but it was left by the ancestor of Fuyaozi Chen Jun. Fuyaozi only wrote five words in the letter: I will return to Huashan. Nothing else was told, and he didn't say when he would return. After reading the letter, which was only five words long—perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a note, Wang Kunjun asked, "When did Master Tai leave, why didn't he inform us to send him to his old man's house?" ”

When Yu Xuzi saw him asking, he also said with a wry smile: "Brother Fool doesn't know when Master Tai left, otherwise how could he not inform all the junior brothers." I saw this letter in Master Tai's room early this morning when I went to ask for peace, and I think Master Tai was used to being alone, and he didn't like everyone to send him off, so he had already left before everyone got up. ”

Zhang Weixin comforted: "Master Tai has always liked to be quiet and comfortable, and he can come and go as he pleases. It's quite rare to be able to teach me to wait so long in this Jade Void Palace. According to the younger brother, his old man must have gone to Huashan to devote himself to the study of Taijiquan, and once he has achieved something, he will come back to teach it to all the brothers and sisters, so we just need to wait patiently. When Wang Kunjun heard this, he knew that he had to do this, so he went to Xu Shao'an with Zhang Weixin and Yu Xuzi, told him about the matter, and announced the news to all the people who had apprenticed to him.

After breakfast, Zhang Weixin took Zeng Zhilin, Liang Ziyue and Lu Yue to go to the cliff at their Dongshan crossing point for vehicle maintenance. This is the decision of the committee, which requires that it be visited every 10 days, mainly to start the vehicle and check the operation of the machinery and equipment, in case it is necessary from time to time. In fact, the cliff where the off-road vehicles are parked, although it is not high, but because there are trees around, it is still very difficult to drive down, and no one can say whether there is a possibility of driving the car down in the future, which is just self-comfort. It was not easy for the three armored vehicles in the valley to get out, and unless a gentle slope with an acceptable slope was dug at the edge of the valley, there was no possibility of getting out.

The Committee is more concerned with the availability of some of the equipment on board, in particular the availability of communications and electrical equipment. Now the most important thing to solve is the communication problem, Lu Yue and Zhong Tao very much want to make use of the short-wave radio on their car and the short-wave and ultra-short-wave radio on the three armored vehicles in Xiguli, as long as the appropriate antenna is set up, so that when carrying out various work in Liangxiang County and even Youzhou Mansion in the future, they can maintain smooth communication with the Yuxu Palace.

One of the most troublesome is the power supply, these radios are all on-board type, mainly relying on the power supply on the car to support the work. Although there are generators on every vehicle, especially the DC generators on the three armored vehicles, which can directly supply power to the radio, the difficulty is that these generators are powered by the vehicle's engine, and it is troublesome to leave the car and try to generate electricity. In addition, although the radio stations are equipped with batteries, the battery power supply time is limited, and it cannot support long-term use. And without a stable power supply, the battery runs out of power and cannot be charged.

Lu Yue and Zhong Tao spent a lot of brains on this, and with the assistance of other members of the science and technology team, the two finally succeeded in solving the power problem of the generator. They modified the two folding bicycles that the Dongshan faction had brought with them, and connected them to a folded generator through the various transmissions they could find, and finally made the generators work. Although the power is not as strong as the engine because it is driven by manpower, it is still enough to ensure the work of the radio station. Today, taking advantage of the opportunity to maintain the vehicle, they plan to dismantle another engine and two shortwave radios to come back, and strive to achieve long-distance communication before the auction. When Zhang Weixin and the others set off, Xu Shaoan also took Sun Yangyang, Tang Chao and Zhong Tao out of the Yuxu Palace and went straight to the West Valley crossing point.
