Chapter 2830 Wedding
Sure enough, that evening, Zhou Erlang brought a bundle of money to Zhou Liru and whispered to her, "This is the money your mother and I originally planned to use to buy you a dowry. But we took a look today and found that your dowry is already very complete. Adding more would be a waste of money and would not look good."
"So I'm giving you the money directly. I thought about it. The Liu family is a wealthy family. Our family is supported by your aunt, so we don't seem so bad. But there is still a difference between family background and family wealth. Don't put this money on the list. Keep it secretly for yourself."
He said, "When you need it in the future, you can use it quietly without having to worry about other people's expressions."
He added, "If you're bullied in the Liu family, don't be afraid. I've found out everything. There are only two brothers in their family, and even if you count cousins, there are only five."
"We have more brothers, nine in total, and your uncles can still have children, so there will be more and more in the future. If the Liu family dares to bully you, we can't do anything else, but we can scold them and beat them up..."
Zhou Liru comforted her father, "Dad, don't worry. My aunt taught us acupuncture before. We can needle certain spots to make people feel weak all over, or needle certain spots to make people feel unbearable pain without being able to find the problem. Liu Huan can't bully me."
Zhou Erlang: ...I suddenly feel a little worried about my son-in-law. What should I do?
Zhou Erlang gave the money to Zhou Liru. The wedding was on the third day. Early in the morning, the Zhou family began to get busy...
Manbao, Baishan, Bai Erlang and others were standing at the gate waiting. From a distance, they saw Liu Huan riding a horse and being surrounded by people. They clicked their tongues twice and waved their hands, and the gate behind them closed.
Liu Huan saw them stunned, and seeing Yin Huodu standing aside with his hands folded, he immediately shouted, "This is unfair. You, you are the elders, how can you block the door?"
Bai Shan said as soon as he heard it: "Come and call uncle, and we will leave."
Manbao also perked up and looked at him with bright eyes.
Liu Huan: "...We agreed to discuss our own affairs. We are classmates after all."
Bai Shan said, "Since you want us to be your classmates, then we are peers. It is only natural for us to stand here."
Liu Huan felt something was amiss, but couldn't put his finger on it. The young men who had come with him to welcome the bride immediately pushed him aside and said, "A real man can bend and stretch. What's wrong with calling them first?"
"That's right. Anyway, you have to call when you return to your parents' home to recognize your relatives. At that time, can you say that you are different from them in front of the elders?"
Liu Huan looked at Bai Shan and Zhou Man, opened his mouth towards their faces, and after holding it in for a long time, his face turned red before he finally called out, "Aunt, uncle..."
Manbao and Baishan responded crisply with "Hey", and Bai Erlang immediately stepped forward, "What about me, what about me?"
Liu Huan looked at him without saying a word.
Bai Erlang said, "I am their junior apprentice. How can you deny this? Call me uncle-master!"
Liu Huan's companions pushed him and said happily: "Call it, call it. We've already called two, so this one won't make any difference."
Liu Huan asked them angrily, "Are you my guests or their guests?"
"Oh, everything is for the smooth running of the wedding. Besides, they are indeed older than me, so this can't be fake, right?"
Liu Huan could only call Bai Erlang "Uncle Master".
Bai Erlang was satisfied, so he happily stepped aside, and the rest was the work of Zhou Lizhong and the others.
The three of them kept their word and stood aside with Yin Huo, watching him pass the level without interrupting.
Liu Huan breathed a sigh of relief. This was good enough. Without the interference of the four of them, he could carry out the wedding very smoothly with the help of his wedding party.
The people in the Zhou family were very experienced in blocking doors, and when Liu Huan arrived at the main hall, it was exactly the auspicious time.
Zhou Lijun and Zhou Lixin helped Zhou Liru out together.
Zhou Liru bid farewell to his grandparents and parents, then knelt down in front of Zhou Man and Bai Shan who were standing beside him.
Zhou Man was startled and reached out to grab her arm. Zhou Liru looked up at Zhou Man and said, "Aunt, you must wait until I come back before you leave."
They planned to set off the day after tomorrow, which happened to be the day Zhou Liru was returning home.
She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back and see us off."
Zhou Liru breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed to Zhou Man respectfully, "Thank you, Master, for your years of cultivation."
She just stood up, and Zhou Liwei came forward, squatted in front of her and said with a smile: "Come up quickly, don't miss the auspicious time."
Zhou Liru's eyes were red, so Zhou Lijun came forward and helped her lie on Zhou Liwei's back, saying with a smile: "Our home is in Beijing, just two blocks away from each other. If you miss home, just come back. What's there to cry about?"
Liu Huan nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, if you miss home, I will come back with you."
The guests laughed, and someone started to jeer, "We must not let Minister Liu hear this, otherwise he will cause trouble for Master Zhou. Is this marrying a wife or a grandson?"
Everyone laughed.
Zhou Liru then held back her tears, leaned on Zhou Liwei's back, and let him carry her out.
The Liu family also decorated the house with lights and flowers, and waited for the newlyweds to arrive before they held the ceremony.
Minister Liu and Old Madam Liu both had delighted faces. The grandson they had been worrying about the most had finally gotten married, and now this burden was finally lifted. They were so happy.
Liu's father and mother did not come back, but only sent a housekeeper to deliver a gift to the new daughter-in-law.
It is understandable that Liu's father did not come back. After all, he is the governor of a state. Unless his parents are seriously ill or dead, he cannot easily leave Suzhou and come back.
But her daughter-in-law didn't come back either, which made Mrs. Liu a little unhappy. However, facing the newlyweds, she suppressed her unhappiness in her heart.
After they had finished their greetings, she instructed someone, "Keep an eye on them. Don't let the gentlemen and ladies make too much noise. Our young lady is shy."
The nanny and the maids agreed with a smile and turned to watch over the bridal chamber.
The next day, when they were reunited, Mrs. Liu specially gave Zhou Liru a set of jade ornaments in front of the clan members. She smiled and said, "This was given to me by my grandmother when I got married. I have always been reluctant to give it to others, so I am giving it to you today."
Zhou Liru was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Huan, and then accepted it respectfully.
When Liu Huan's two aunts saw this, they understood what was going on and became more polite and respectful towards Zhou Liru. One of them took off the bracelet on her hand and gave it to her along with the gift she had prepared in the morning, while the other took off the gold hairpin and the red seal on her head and gave them to her.
The nanny holding a box beside her said: ...
Madam Liu then introduced her, "This is Grandma Gao who works for your mother. They are far away in Suzhou and can't get back for the time being, so they sent Grandma Gao back."
Liu Huan brought Zhou Liru forward to pay their respects. Nanny Gao was afraid to accept their gifts, so she stepped aside and returned the favor, saying, "This is a gift that Madam asked me to bring back for the newlyweds. Madam knew she couldn't come back, and she felt sorry for you. I'll give you another one when she returns."
She said, "Please don't despise me, ma'am."
Zhou Liru accepted it with a smile and said, "Mother, you are too polite. Every stitch and thread you give me is a reward. I am so grateful. How dare I despise it?"
See you at 9pm
