The sun warms the courtyard, and guests gradually fill the room.

The first person to arrive was Lou Jing’s old enemy, the one who was taken advantage of, his surname was Yuan.

As soon as Yuan Zuzhi entered the room, he joked, "I originally planned to go and serve as a family member to Shopkeeper Xu today, but I felt sorry for you because you didn't have any help, so I came here early. Don't forget to give me a big red envelope later."

"If I don't give you the red envelope, will you not come?" Lou Jing glared at him, then turned to Madam Yuan and Yuan Yanyan, but his expression changed. "Sister-in-law, niece, please come in."

Then he quickly asked two maids to take the two men to the back house to meet his wife.

Butler Shan received the gift list from the Yuan family, counted it, and asked the servants to help carry the gifts to the garden outside the main hall to display them.

Not long after Lou Jing led Yuan Zuzhi in, the sound of horse hooves came from the street. Old Duan led a dozen patrol guards and came galloping, looking very majestic.

They came to help Lou Yunchun to welcome the bride.

"Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, sir!" The patrol guards had not even dismounted from their horses when congratulations came pouring down.

"Thank you." Lou Yunchun's face was filled with undisguised joy. He asked the servants to accept the gifts, then led the patrol guards to tie up the horses.

After they tie up their horses and come back, I will take them to prepare the wedding gifts.

Lou Yunchun said to everyone: "Today I will rely on you brothers."

Old Duan smiled heartily and patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry, sir. We've already captured Guo Yuanzhen. Are you still worried about not being able to bring back the bride?"

Lou Yunchun thought about Hu Xu and Zeng Zhui and said, "This is harder than catching Guo Yuanzhen."

Those two are not easy to deal with.

By the time the wedding gifts were counted and prepared, the guests were almost knocking on the doorstep, and the matchmaker also arrived at the auspicious time.

When the matchmaker arrives at the house, he must first order the letter, which is the "welcoming letter" to be presented to the woman when the bride is welcomed.

Then the bride-receiving gifts are ordered, and they must be presented in pairs, not alone.

The last step is to connect the hands of relatives and the frame to ensure that this rare marriage will not go wrong.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the auspicious time.

As the sun set, Lou Yunchun's heart became more and more beating and he became more and more anxious.

The matchmaker was patient and chatted with people leisurely, or drank tea and wine.

Yinyin and A Shou also wanted to go to pick up the bride. Seeing that their young master was anxious, they also became anxious.

Yin Yin waited anxiously for the matchmaker, asking every now and then whether she could set off and when she could set off.

The matchmaker was being pulled by a lady, who wanted her to find a husband for her child. The little girl was clingy, so she nodded randomly to fool the child, but she didn't expect to fool the groom as well.

When Lou Yunchun saw Yin Yin coming over excitedly to reply, he learned that they could set off, so he led the guards and walked quickly towards the gate without saying a word.

"Brothers, let's set off and follow me to pick up the bride!"

"Yes, sir!"

The patrol guards roared in unison, almost making the matchmaker drop the teacup in her hand. Then they saw them carrying the wedding gifts out of the garden, and hurriedly trotted after them.

"Oh, where's my groom? The auspicious time hasn't arrived yet, so we can't leave!"

She ran for one step and rested for three steps. How could she catch up with the nimble patrolman?

When she reached the door, the ceremonial music had already begun, and her weak voice was instantly drowned out by the loud sound of blowing and beating.

She had planned everything, but why hadn't she considered these reckless men, or this variable? Poor old legs, she ran breathlessly, but still couldn't catch up.

Seeing the procession going away, she hurriedly shouted, "My Heavenly Official! If you don't look at the auspicious time, you must also look at whether the matchmaker has been brought along! How are you going to pick up the bride without a matchmaker?"

Lou Jing heard the sound of music in the garden and ran out to check, but found that the wedding procession that had been parked at the door was nowhere to be seen.

He was stunned for a while, then asked the matchmaker who was slumped on the doorstep, "Where is the person?"

Before the matchmaker could complain, the sound of horse hooves reached his ears.

It turned out that Old Duan found that the matchmaker did not come with him, so he turned around and came back to pick him up.

The matchmaker looked delighted and was about to go forward to persuade him, but he was grabbed onto the horse and placed behind him.

"Auntie, hold on tight, we're going to pick up the bride!" As he said that, the horse shot out like an arrow.

The matchmaker was so frightened that she quickly hugged him. She wanted to stop him, but when she opened her mouth she was met with a barrage of wind. She was forced to shut up and watch the house getting farther and farther away.

Lou Jing chased out and stretched out his hand to shout, but Lao Duan had already turned the corner and disappeared.

Shan Bo chased out and was stunned for a moment when he saw this. Then he hurriedly asked the servant to light firecrackers and shouted to make up for the loss: "The auspicious time has arrived, it's time to pick up the bride——"

Upon hearing the noise, all the guests came out to join in the fun and ask for money, but they came back empty-handed.

Where is the welcoming team?

Lou Jing finally came back to his senses and said to everyone with a stiff smile: "The horse ran fast, I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

But in his heart, he had already hung that troublesome and rebellious son up and beaten him eight hundred times with a stick.
