Chapter 23 Luo Zhen Gets Married
Chun Xing didn't look for anyone in Cui's house.
She found a skilled maid in the market town, gave her a hundred coins, gave her some instructions, and asked her to go quietly to Luo Mansion and ask the maid she was familiar with about Luo Fu.
Because Chun Xing promised that she would get another hundred dollars when she came back.
The old woman was very dedicated. She rented a donkey for herself and finally arrived in Yanzhou after four days of walking.
It was also a coincidence that the Luo family was holding a wedding.
Red silk fluttered throughout the Luo Mansion, and the place was bustling with people. It was a very lively place.
The old woman squeezed in during the chaos and found a little maid to ask, "Sister, what kind of wedding is this at home? It's such a grand occasion."
The little girl was stealing some fruit from the table when she was suddenly caught. She was frightened, but when she heard the other party ask her this question, she felt relieved and put one into her mouth and said, "Our eldest daughter is getting married, and the son-in-law will be here to pick her up soon."
The old woman heard Chun Xing talk about the Luo family and knew that the Luo family had two daughters and one master.
The eldest daughter Luo Zhen and the eldest uncle Luo Heng are legitimate siblings.
The second girl Luo Fu was born out of wedlock, so Chun Xing asked her to ask which family the second girl Luo Fu married into in Qingzhou.
The old woman then asked, "Whose family did the second Miss Luo marry into in Qingzhou?"
The little girl gave her a strange look. "Who told you that the second young lady married off to Qingzhou? Our second young lady has gone to the palace for selection. A few days ago, many people came to the inner court. Everyone in the city is talking about it. Didn't you know?"
Went to the palace for selection?
It’s not the same as what Chun Xing said.
The old woman was afraid of making a mistake and was about to ask in detail.
There was a sound of laughter outside.
"The groom has arrived!"
"The groom has arrived!"
When the little girl heard this, she ran to the front to watch the fun.
The old woman followed.
I saw a group of people carrying a wedding sedan chair coming towards me.
The groom riding in front was dressed in a bright red wedding suit, looking very handsome.
It was a happy day, but there was not a single smile on his face.
The old woman watched the groom dismount in front of the mansion gate. She did not compose a poem to urge him to get ready, but simply handed the socializing to the matchmaker, lifted her robe, walked up the steps and went straight into the mansion.
The old woman also wanted to go in and take a look, but when she reached the second gate, there was someone guarding it and no one else was allowed in.
She had no choice but to ask someone in the outer courtyard about Miss Luo Er.
After learning that Second Miss Luo had indeed been taken away by the inner court, he did not leave immediately.
Gathered in the crowd to watch the fun.
I thought I would have to wait a long time before the bride came out.
Unexpectedly, not long after, the bride, covered with a red veil, came out supported by her maid, followed by a group of maids and old women.
Behind this group of maids and old women followed many servants carrying boxes and crates.
The servants were well-dressed and stood in a row of four. The bride had already walked out of the gate of Luo Mansion and got into the sedan chair. They had walked a long distance, but the servants carrying the boxes and sedan chairs had not yet come out of the mansion.
"Wow, Miss Luo's dowry is really huge. It shows that Lord and Madam Luo really love Miss Luo."
"Miss Luo comes from a higher family background than Pei Erlang, and she brings such a large dowry. She will definitely be able to hold her head high in her husband's family. I wonder how comfortable her life will be in the future."
"Need I tell you? Miss Luo was originally going to be a concubine in the palace. Her maternal family is even more powerful in Qingzhou. I heard that she has a cousin who is also going to be a concubine in the palace. With money in hand and her family's support behind her, how could she not stand up straight? I just don't know why Miss Luo didn't choose a concubine, and why Miss Luo entered the palace instead... And I heard that Pei Erlang was originally going to marry Miss Luo..."
"Shut up! If Pei Ji hears you, you'll be thrown into jail!"
…
The old woman listened and looked in the direction of the wedding procession.
I kind of disagree with what those people said.
They only cared about Miss Luo's dowry, background and family background.
However, the groom had a stern face and walked alone in front when entering and leaving the house. It did not look like he was welcoming the bride, but rather doing some official business.
He showed no consideration for his bride at all.
This is a wedding reception, yet it is so cold and awkward.
When a new bride gets married, those who want to see her will be coldly received.
Even if you have a large dowry and the support of your parents' family, you may not be liked by your husband and your life will not be harmonious.
