Lu Chong opened the letter and saw that it was written by General Su to Lu Chong, asking Lu Chong to go to Liuyunzhou as soon as possible. There were two things he had to attend: Su Yunxiu and the hairpin ceremony, and the other was the oath before the army went to war.

Half a month later, Lu Chong came to the Su Mansion, which was heavily guarded by Liuyun Prefecture, and entered a unique yard under the guidance of his servant. As soon as he entered the yard, he was discovered by the sharp-eyed maid Yan'er. Yan'er excitedly shouted to Su Yunxiu, who was playing with the wooden crane in the air: "Miss, Miss, Mr. Lu is here."

Su Yunxiu, who was a little shy, hurried to capture the flying crane. Unexpectedly, the crane rushed over quickly and circled around the air. Lu Chong bounced his hand and shot a small stone at the crane. With a bang, the crane that was flying happily in the air fell down and landed at Su Yunxiu's feet.

Su Yunxiu picked up the wooden crane on the ground, and then he realized that the alert Yan'er had already disappeared. He had to slowly walk towards Lu Chong, and asked with a slightly shy face: "Come?"

Lu Chong nodded, and Su Yunxiu said again: "My father is very busy these days and should be back soon. You haven't met him yet, right? The hairpin ceremony will be the day after tomorrow."

Lu Chong looked at the wooden crane and asked, "General Su notified me to come as soon as possible. I made a few things for him, so it was a bit late. How could you have a wooden crane?"

Su Yunxiu continued: "It was sent by Sister Baihua. This wooden crane is so beautiful, Sister Zhong is so nice." As he said that, he looked at Lu Chong nervously.

Lu Chong sighed secretly, took out the Tian Silkworm vest that had saved his life, and said to Su Yunxiu: "You are not suitable for practicing martial arts. This Tian Silkworm vest has a strong defensive function. I'll give it to you as a gift for you and your hairpin."

Su Yunxiu happily put away the vest of the silkworm. Lu Chong took the wooden crane from Su Yunxiu's hand and said, "Since General Su has not come back yet, please let me pay a visit to Lord Lingtang first." Su Yunxiu nodded and led Lu Chong out of this elegant courtyard.

In the evening, Lu Chong followed Su Jianzhong to the quiet study. Su Jianzhong laughed and said, "Xiao Chong, I didn't expect that the extremely arrogant Jin Yunfei Camp official in the army would come back in shame. You defeated him. Could it be that you have become a four-vein craftsman now?"

Lu Tong nodded lightly. After Su Jianzhong received Lu Tong's confirmation, he said in surprise: "It's only been about a year. It seems that you are really an amazing genius in cultivation. It's nothing wrong for me to entrust Yun Xiu to you."

Lu Chong opened his mouth to explain something, but Su Jianzhong lowered his face and said, "I know you have a confidante of Miss Zhong. The operation of the entire wooden flying object is all based on her. She is very talented in business. I originally planned to dismantle you, but Miss Zhong gave you such a great help and is also very good to Yun Xiu. I don't want you to make things difficult for you. Since I, Su Jianzhong, admire you, you should marry both of them at the same time. Miss Zhong is the big one, Yun Xiu is the flat wife. You can't be sorry for any of them, do you know?"

Lu Chong stared at the fierce and iron-blooded general in front of him, and devoted great hope to him. Lu Chong also secretly vowed in his heart to repay him with his great achievements. He thought of the next practice of the Maitong technique, and asked, "General Su, I wonder what are my requirements for the next practice of Maitong technique?"

Su Jianzhong thought about it and said seriously: "Actually, I have the body meridian technique and the head meridian technique you need now, but I don't want you to be anxious to achieve success. Let the previous meridian technique be integrated before continuing. In addition, you must pay attention to a key issue. Each family will hide several meridian techniques. Even if the contents of the same meridian technique are not completely consistent, you must choose carefully before practicing, otherwise there will be negative effects. After you get married to Yunxiu, I will show you these two books."

Lu Chong nodded, took out several cylinder needle flying devices similar to scrolls from his body, and handed one of them to Su Jianzhong. Lu Chong explained: "This is a cylinder needle flying device that I have only developed recently with strong lethality. After the energy stone is stimulated and impacted, it can kill enemies on a large scale, and even kill the two meridians without any precautions. This is more useful for ordinary officers."

Su Jianzhong's eyes lit up when he heard this and said happily: "It's so amazing, it's great. Let's go out and try it out later. It really has such an effect. You have made great contributions to the army. I will seek heavy rewards for you at that time."

Su Jianzhong continued: "After the Yunxiu and the hairpin ceremony, you will follow me to the army to participate in the oath before departure. This battle with Changguo may take about a year. I originally planned to let you follow me to fight on the battlefield to fight for military merits, but you are not old, so you should participate in the Lu family's management competition first. The Lu family's background is also very deep, and you must make good use of it."

Lu Chong felt a little silent, but he was unwilling to mention the intense and dark things in the Lu family and Lufang to Su Jianzhong. Now he only hopes that the cylinder flying needle will work for the army, and he also hopes that Su Jianzhong can return safely from the battlefield.

The hairpin ceremony finally began two days later. The hairpin venue was in a large village outside Liuyun Prefecture. It was an ancestral house before the Su family made its fortune. Later, some of the surrounding land was bought and expanded, forming a considerable farm.

The village was busy with people coming and going. Lu Tong and Su Yunxiu's younger brother, Su Nan, entered the ancestral temple together. Su Nan is the son of Su Jianzhong's second concubine. He is now learning to do business with Su Yunxiu and is very enthusiastic and admiring Lu Tong.

There is a high platform in the ancestral temple, which is usually used to sing dances and operas. At this time, the platform is covered with colorful cloths, with a spacious mat in the middle, and two large mahogany carved chairs in front of it. There are more than a dozen round cushions at both ends of the mat. Next to it, there are refreshing sandalwood in the incense burner on a large wooden table. There are several layers of different colored clothes stacked on two large wooden tables, as well as various objects used in hairpins.

As soon as the hour came, a crackling sound of firecrackers sounded, and then a festive music played. Su Yunxiu slowly walked towards the platform in a colorful dress, came to the mat to kowtow to his parents on the wooden chair, and a cheering sound came from the platform.

Then the procedure was carried out with three begging and three pluses. Every time he bowed, he had to wear some objects on his body. After three weeks, Su Yunxiu also wore a belt, hairpin, hairpin, and jewelry on his body and head.

Next, we have to hold a ceremony to toast and serve rice to our parents and elders, and we have to express our gratitude for raising our parents. Only after we receive the acceptance and blessings of our parents and elders can we walk in a long skirt with our hair tied up. This is what we say is the ceremony and it also represents Su Yunxiu's adult life.

After the entire ceremony was completed, everyone was surrounded and noisy. The long ceremony process made Su Yunxiu's face turn red, and her delicate and firm body trembled a little. When she looked at Lu Tong in the crowd, she felt extremely warm and happy. She sincerely thanked her parents for everything she brought to her, and she also yearned for her own happiness and the growth of her family.

Shortly after the ceremony, Su Jianzhong received an emergency report from military information. Before he could have a good meal, he pulled Lu Chong away from the Su family's ancestral temple and rushed into the military camp with a whip.
