Without any introduction, Gongshu Chou recognized Bai Yuan as soon as he entered the yard and bowed to him.
"My name is Gongshu Chou, nice to meet Master Bai Yuan! I didn't expect that Master Bai Yuan is even younger than I thought. His future is limitless!"
"No need to be polite, please take a seat, Mr. Gongshu."
Bai Yuan invited Gongshu Chou to sit down and talk, and his attitude was quite respectful.
Gongshu Chou was somewhat flattered.
Ning Yan and the others found Gongshu Chou's bronze mechanical hand interesting.
The last person Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue had seen with a mechanical device on his body was Master Ban of the Mohist School.
They did not discriminate against people like Gongshu Chou and Master Ban who were disabled for some reason. Instead, they were amazed at how they could use mechanical devices to make up for their disabilities.
From this point alone, it can be seen that Gongshu Chou has made great achievements in mechanical engineering.
Bai Yuan asked someone to pour a cup of tea for Gongshu Chou, and then asked:
"I have already explained the purpose of inviting you here in the letter. What do you think, Mr. Gongshu?"
Gongshu Chou picked up the tea and moistened his throat.
"Since Master Bai Yuan has such trust in me, I am naturally willing to give it a try, but it may cost a lot."
Building a manor itself would cost at least a thousand gold coins, and if you add in mechanisms, Taoist magic, etc., the cost would be even higher.
Bai Yuan laughed after hearing this: "Money is not a problem."
Hearing what Bai Yuan said, Gongshu Chou smiled and rubbed his hands.
"The promise the master made in the letter..."
"After the matter is completed, I will give you a thousand gold as a reward. In addition, I can help you write a letter of recommendation and give it to the King of Qin. Now that the Qin Dynasty is eager for talents, the mechanical skills of the Gongshu family will surely shine."
Bai Yuan smiled and nodded.
If you want Gongshu Chou to help you, you naturally have to give him some benefits.
After hearing these conditions, Gongshu Chou was already very satisfied. Being able to directly connect with the King of Qin was a huge opportunity for the Gongshu family.
"I wonder where the master is going to build the manor? I need to go and investigate the site to find out how to build it."
"This is natural. Why don't we go and take a look first?"
Bai Yuan and others took Gongshu Chou, as well as several of Gongshu's family members who followed him, to the depths of Mount Taiyi. Along the way, seeing the flowers and plants and various scenery on Mount Taiyi, Gongshu Chou kept sighing and praising how great Taoism was.
Soon, everyone arrived at the site selected by Bai Yuan for building the manor, which was on an undeveloped and uninhabited cliff in the northeast of Taiyi Mountain.
There is a relatively open space here.
To the north is a thousand-meter-high cliff with a waterfall on it. Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking far into the distance, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the Taiyi Mountain peaks.
The flying cranes are crying and the sky is filled with clouds, which gives a fairy-like feeling.
This is the place Bai Yuan chose after much consideration, and Ning Yan and others are also very satisfied.
When Gongshu Chou saw the scenery here, he also felt a majestic feeling in his heart.
“It’s really a great place!”
After sighing for a while, Gongshu Chou did not forget that he was here for a field investigation, so he asked the younger generations of the Gongshu family to take out a lot of instruments from their bags and start measuring everywhere.
Seeing that Gongshu Chou got into work mode so quickly, Bai Yuan knew that he had not hired the wrong person.
Next, he did not bother Gongshu Chou anymore and left with Ningyan and others.
While Gongshu Chou was busy, on the other side, the Great God of Destiny of the Yin-Yang School also arrived at the foot of Taiyi Mountain.
At this moment, the Great Sima was looking at Taiyi Mountain with mixed feelings.
She should have sent the letter a few days ago, but Donghuang Taiyi asked her to wait a few more days before leaving.
Although she was confused, since Donghuang Taiyi had spoken, she could only do as he said.
And yesterday, the autistic Yueshen came out. As soon as she came out, she ran to find Dongjun and talked about something.
Then the two of them started fighting for some unknown reason, making a lot of noise and even alarming Donghuang Taiyi.
In the end, it was Donghuang Taiyi's intervention that calmed the two down.
Then Donghuang Taiyi didn't know what he talked about with them, and the two shook hands and made peace again.
Then the Great God of Destiny was sent out to deliver the letter, and the letter she was asked to deliver was changed from the one from a few days ago to another one.
Although Da Siming didn't know what exactly happened, he could guess that it should be related to Bai Yuan.
"What a sin!"
Da Siming sighed, then calmed himself down, climbed up Taiyi Mountain, and went to find Bai Yuan.
And she was lucky enough to meet Bai Yuan and others returning.
"Da Siming? Why are you here?"
Seeing Da Siming standing at the gate of his yard, Bai Yuan showed a hint of doubt on his face.
"I am here on the orders of Lord Dong Huang to deliver a letter to you. Lord Dong Huang said that it would be best for you to read this letter alone."
As he spoke, Da Siming took out the letter and handed it to Bai Yuan.
"A letter from Donghuang Taiyi?"
Bai Yuan was slightly stunned, took the letter, and then entered the yard.
Ningyan and others led Dasi Ming to one side.
Since Da Siming just said that this letter should not be shown to other people, they naturally would not go over to disturb Bai Yuan.
After opening the letter and reading it, Bai Yuan understood why Donghuang Taiyi gave such instructions to Dasi Ming.
This letter was about the agreement he and Donghuang Taiyi had made in the Yin-Yang School before, which was about marriage.
Moreover, the marriage partner this time is not just one person, but Yan Fei and Yue Shen are marrying together.
The specific situation was not explained clearly in the letter, because apart from the first few sentences which were talking about the marriage, most of the rest of the paper was filled with cordial greetings to Bai Yuan for giving them two cabbages.
Yan Fei and Yue Shen are the most noble daughters of heaven in the Yin Yang family. Although Donghuang Taiyi had thought about the current situation, when it really happened, there was a flash in his mind that he wanted to settle the score with Bai Yuan.
But thinking that Bai Yuan had already broken through and become a master at the unity of man and nature, Donghuang Taiyi could only tell himself in his heart that tying a master at the unity of man and nature to the Yin-Yang family's ship would not be a loss to him even if he had to sacrifice Dongjun and Yueshen.
Bai Yuan was somewhat caught off guard by this sudden news.
Because when he was with Yan Fei and Yue Shen, he did not flirt with them deliberately, but was very natural and got along with them like friends.
In terms of emotions, they should be considered more than friends at most, but less than lovers.
I don’t know what happened after they returned.
However, Bai Yuan did not dwell on it too much. Since Yan Fei and Yue Shen had both brought it up on their own initiative, and Donghuang Taiyi had already expressed his stance, what else could he refuse?
The only thing he needs to worry about now is the emotions of Ningyan and others.
This is not difficult to solve. Bai Yuan thought about it for a while and made a decision.
That night, after sending Da Siming away, Bai Yuan called Ning Yan and others.
"You deliberately sent the Great God of Destiny away. What are you going to say?"
Ningyan looked at Bai Yuan in confusion.
"Please read this letter first!"
Bai Yuan handed the letter from Donghuang Taiyi directly to Ningyan and the others.
Ningyan and others took the letter and gathered together.
The content of the letter was not long. After reading it, Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue just frowned, but there was no big emotional fluctuation.
Since Bai Yuan showed them the letter, they were also willing to trust Bai Yuan to handle the matter properly.
Having been with Bai Yuan for such a long time, they knew him very well and he doted on them almost to no end.
"Actually, the last time I went to Yin Yang Family, I made an agreement with Dong Huang Tai Yi..."
Seeing that they had finished reading the letter, Bai Yuan told them about the agreement between himself and Donghuang Taiyi.
After hearing the whole story, Ningyan couldn't help but snort.
"I was wondering why Dongjun and Yueshen seemed to be deliberately contacting you. It turns out that Donghuang Taiyi was behind it. So what are you going to do about this matter?"
Before Bai Yuan could answer, Jimo Huaxue spoke up: "Need I say more? With my husband's personality, how could he let go of the meat that is right before his mouth?"
Jimo Huaxue looked at Bai Yuan with some resentment in her eyes.
Bai Yuan coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.
"Here's what I think. Aren't we planning to build a new manor now? I plan to hold the wedding there after the new manor is completed. It will not only be for Dongjun and Yueshen, but also for you."
After hearing what Bai Yuan said, all the women present were stunned for a moment.
Then they acted as if they had heard some shocking news.
"Why don't you say anything? If you have any other requests, you can ask again."
Seeing that they were silent, Bai Yuan thought that they were not satisfied with his method.
Ning Yan and others shook their heads slightly when they heard this.
"I just don't know what to say for the moment. Have you really decided? The Yin-Yang family won't agree, right?"
"Donghuang Taiyi will agree. After all, he even sent Dongjun and Yueshen here."
Donghuang Taiyi wouldn't care about this.
What he cares about most is whether he can successfully marry Bai Yuan. As long as Bai Yuan can guarantee the status of Yan Fei and Yue Shen in his eyes, Donghuang Taiyi probably won't say anything even if Bai Yuan doesn't hold the wedding.
Seeing that Bai Yuan was so confident, Ning Yan and others didn't say anything more.
However, from the slightly raised corners of their mouths, it can be seen that they are quite satisfied with Bai Yuan's decision.
Since being together with Bai Yuan, they have not thought about matters of status or reputation, but have been getting along like real sisters.
Because to be honest, among all the people present, only Jimo Huaxue, who came from the Jimo clan, a noble family of Qi State, was qualified to be Bai Yuan's wife.
Even Ning Yan, who was the first to follow Bai Yuan, did not have this qualification. She was an assassin and was just a maid beside Bai Yuan at the beginning.
However, Bai Yuan never treated her as a maid. Later, as their relationship warmed up, the maid matter became a joke.
As for others, let alone that.
Although status and reputation are not important to them, they are very happy that Bai Yuan is willing to show such an attitude.
If there could be a ceremony like this, even if it was just a simple formality, they would not refuse.
Bai Yuan was relieved to see that the girls were all satisfied with the plan.
But then he realized that he was happy too early.
That night, Ning Yan and the others kicked Bai Yuan out of the room as if they had discussed it beforehand, and let him sleep alone for the next few days.
As luck would have it, all of this was seen by the great god of destiny in the yard.
Seeing Bai Yuan suffer at the hands of his woman, Da Siming couldn't help but chuckle with his hands covering his mouth.
Although he didn't know what they talked about in the room, Da Siming could guess a little.
When Bai Yuan saw that Da Siming was actually laughing at him, he narrowed his eyes slightly, snorted, and didn't bother with her.
The next day, Bai Yuan went to find Bei Mingzi again, ready to tell him about this matter.
Be a teacher for one day, and be a father for life.
Master Bei Mingzi is his elder, so naturally he needs to inform him about his life-long affairs.
In the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain, Bei Mingzi poured Bai Yuan a cup of tea.
"What's going on today?"
Bai Yuan took the tea and said with a smile:
"Master, I plan to marry Dong Jun and Yue Shen from the Yin Yang Family, and the Yin Yang Family has already agreed."
Bei Mingzi's hand holding the teapot trembled slightly.
Dongjun and Yueshen are second only to Donghuang Taiyi in the Yin-Yang School, and are the two women with the highest status in the Yin-Yang School.
It is unbelievable that Donghuang Taiyi would agree to this.
