Chapter 2267: Worship

The matchmaker handed the red silk to Meng Yunzheng, offered her congratulations with a smile, and then stepped aside.

Following that came the earnest advice from her elders, who gave Shuyu instructions on what to do as a wife.

After saying this, the bride and groom bid farewell to their parents, and the matchmaker led them around.

Da Niu came over, squatted down, and carried Shu Yu on his back.

Just as they were about to leave, Madam Ruan finally couldn't help but call out, "Ayu."

Da Niu paused, and Ruan Shi stepped forward, took a deep breath, and said to Meng Yunzheng, "My daughter is now in your care. She has suffered a lot in the past ten years, and I hope you will treat her well from now on."

"Mother-in-law, please rest assured, Ayu will be my only wife from now on. I will cherish her and will certainly not let her down."

Meng Yunzheng made a serious promise.

Madam Ruan nodded, then turned to look at Shu Yu, who reached out and held her hand tightly. "Mother, don't worry."

"Let's go, don't be late." The old lady's eyes were red as she came over and pulled Ruan Shi back a step.

Da Niu then carried Shu Yu out the door.

A group of children followed closely behind, jumping and shouting, "The bride is leaving!"

The three old ladies in the main room remained still, watching Shu Yu's figure recede into the distance with extremely reluctant eyes.

Outside the gate, the bright red sedan chair lowered slightly. Da Niu placed Shu Yu inside, and the matchmaker waved her handkerchief. As soon as Meng Yunzheng mounted his horse, she shouted loudly, "Lift the sedan chair!"

The sedan chair bearers, carrying the sedan chair poles together, swayed and walked forward.

The Meng family lived just across the street, only a few steps away, so it was impossible to carry them back directly.

Just like when Meng Yunzheng came, he took a long detour around the county town, and when he went back, he took a long detour, only he went around in a different direction.

The marriage of Scholar Meng and Princess Lu was known to everyone in the city; it had already caused a sensation throughout the city.

Therefore, the entire journey was filled with onlookers. In addition, the Lu and Meng families were wealthy and generous, scattering peanuts, candies, and melon seeds along the way, occasionally giving away a few copper coins, which caused the procession to grow larger and larger.

When the bridal sedan chair arrived at the Meng family's house after making its rounds, there were many people behind it, especially children.

The Meng family's steward, Yanbo, instructed his servants to distribute some fruits and snacks to the children, and in return, he received a chorus of auspicious words.

When the auspicious time for the wedding ceremony arrived, Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu bowed deeply to Meng Pei, who was sitting in the high hall.

Meng Pei chuckled and turned to Song Xin's memorial tablet on the other side, saying, "Our son is married, and soon we'll be able to hold our grandson."

Meng Yunzheng chuckled. After the wedding ceremony, he led Shu Yu back to their new home.

Tao and Meng Han were both in the new house. As soon as the person entered, they immediately prepared the weighing scale and handed it to Meng Yunzheng.

There were quite a few people watching the excitement in the new house. Aunt Hong stood to the side with little Song Le, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

Madam Kang and Madam Hou had arrived at their husband's home early from their own homes, and they were all cheering, "Groom, quickly lift the veil and let us all see the most beautiful bride in the world."

"Look at the bride! Look at the bride!"

Meng Yunzheng coughed lightly, his hand holding the scale beam tightened slightly, and his palms were sweaty.

He sat opposite Shuyu and gently lifted her veil. Shuyu kept her head down until the veil was lifted, then she looked ahead.

Meng Yunzheng had never seen Shu Yu dressed up so meticulously. Her hair was adorned with pearl hairpins, her face was as red as a sunset, her eyes were moist, and her lips were slightly pursed, making him feel restless and eager to taste her.
