Chapter 553 Zimo couldn’t wait any longer.
Luo Mei was shocked when she heard about their plan: "Ladies, this can't be done. If you really want to lose your status, it will be a disgrace to the slaves. Anyway, the slaves will be back after being away for a few days."
The children didn't care about Luo Mei's words, they just begged Grandma Yan. You said to me, acting cute and pleading just to get out of the house.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Yan did not refuse her words, but said to them: "The guests at Zimo's house are simple, and they are all familiar people from our two or three courtyards and Qingshan Villa. If we wait until the ceremony is over, we can go in. No one will notice."
So you can go? The children almost shouted.
Grandma suddenly remembered something and slapped her thigh: "Grandma, I forgot, the old lady told me just now that Brother Jue was unwilling to let Zimo continue to be a slave, so he asked Madam for Zimo's deed of sale. He also hired a long-term attendant from the sixth rank official, saying that he had applied for it, and when he was approved, he would be an official. However, brother Jue said that Zimo only occupied a spot next to him, and he was still For the use of the Duke of Shun."
"Then we can go wherever we want, right?" Hongying is the most excited. She has her share in everything and she likes to stand out. With her official status and freedom, she naturally doesn't have so many worries.
"Then Sister Luo Mei also needs to cancel her slave status so that she can marry Uncle Mo. I'll ask my mother to ask the housekeeper to take care of it."
Luo Mei was already in a good mood, but now she doesn't know how to feel better. How did things turn around so quickly? They are already extremely grateful that their children will no longer be slaves.
After being surprised for a long time, she said: "Anyway, we are not leaving Miss, Miss, please don't drive away the slaves."
Chu Chu smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth: "Brother Jue still has a way. Sister Luo Mei, don't worry, no one can drive you away, but starting from tomorrow, everyone will have to call you Aunt Luo Mei."
Luo Mei blushed with embarrassment. She didn't go out much during this period. She was preparing for the wedding at home. Her face became much whiter and tenderer, and her originally tough temperament became a bit more charming as a newlywed.
Someone suddenly shouted: "Ah! It's snowing."
I ran out the door, and suddenly there were dots of snowflakes floating outside. The first snow of the year came. The children ran out to catch the snow happily. Even the little bag was so excited that they forgot to play with the things in their hands. I didn't know what to call and ran out, not caring about waiting for anyone.
Grandma Yan couldn't help but sigh in her heart: The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and the situation next year looks really good!
On the early morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the team to pick up the bride came early. It was only yesterday afternoon that Granny Zhou came to convey Zimo's wishes.
Since the distance between the two sides was close, there was no need to set up banquets on both sides. They had picked up the bride earlier and went back to eat there, and then brought a few tables over from there.
This made Mrs. Yan and Grandma Yan both laugh and joke, saying that Zimo couldn't wait any longer and wanted to take him back as soon as possible!
However, neither the old lady nor Li Yan agreed to bring the banquet back from there. This seemed to be too insincere for the host family, so they still followed the original plan to do both.
The Chu Garden here is also very lively. The men who are welcoming brides and grooms also set up a few tables in the front yard. The back yard is much more lively. Except for the two tables set by the owner of Fulu Garden, there are seven or eight other tables. In the courtyard of Chu Garden and the promenade in front of it, everyone had a share of the women, servants, and maids in the front and back yards, making everyone happy.
They didn't let Zimo pick them up in advance. They followed the rules and made them have a fuss after eating. It wasn't until after noon that the butler gave them the gift.
After the crackling of firecrackers and the addition of dowry, a total of thirty-eight dowries were carried out from the side door. Luo Mei was carried by Zimo himself and strode out to get on the sedan chair. It was not the hands of others.
The golden boy and girl made by Zishu and Qiuli. Originally, the golden girl wanted to arrange for two boys and two girls to let August go with them, but August refused, saying that he still had scars on his face, so he went to see his bride. It wasn't a good sign. He insisted on following the young lady, and Chu Chu obeyed her.
In fact, the scar on her face only left a long red mark. Without touching it, there was basically no unevenness, so it was not scary at all.
Usually, August doesn't care at all in the house and doesn't wear a hat. Occasionally Chu Chu will ask her to put on a layer of powder when she goes out. No one will notice if she doesn't pay attention.
Uncle Zimo's Second Courtyard was not far from the Shunguo Duke's Mansion. It was originally bought nearby. Even if it was not on the main street, the price was not cheap and ordinary people could not afford it.
The house is in a small alley across the street. Most of the people living there are relatives of wealthy families or housekeepers who have favored the master's family, as well as some minor officials from the government. It is at most a short walk from the Shunguo Duke's mansion. It’s half a cup of tea.
It is said to be the custom of welcoming a bride in the capital: you cannot go back the same way when you go out and enter the house, otherwise it will be unlucky.
So when they came, the wedding party took the shortest road, but when they went back, they went around the main street at the back, and then entered the alley from the other main street, which made a big circle.
In this way, you have a lot more time, and the journey is more lively and has a sense of ceremony.
"Ladies, hurry up, you can go over. I just ran back after watching Sister Luo Mei enter the bridal chamber. This journey has been very lively."
Since Zishu had become the golden boy, it was another boy in the courtyard who was carrying his original dowry box, and he was specifically asked to deliver the bride and then come back to tell them.
The boy ran in and didn't look too tired. He said he was walking all the way to see off his bride. The man carrying the wedding sedan saw that the distance was not far, so he deliberately misbehaved. They followed slowly behind and shouted all the way. If it's a happy day, I'm not tired at all after walking all the way, and I even showed off to August that I got an extra red envelope.
The few steps back from Uncle Zimo's house were not a big deal for the boys who often went out to run errands, and when they came back, they would rush them out breathlessly.
Even though Grandma Yan was following her and the distance was not far, Li Yan refused to let the children walk and had already arranged for three carriages to wait at the gate.
Chu Chu and Juanjuan took the sisters into one car each. In the middle car, Grandma Yan and the nanny were holding small bags, as well as several maids and four boys walking behind.
Originally, he wanted to keep Xiaobao Bao at home, but he couldn't stay at home in such a lively environment. He had no choice but to arrange for several more guards to follow him on both sides of the carriage and not allow them to ride.
No matter how slow the carriage moved, it only took a few steps and the carriage stopped without saying a few words.
