Chapter 1242: Chapter 1242: Leaving Home for Marriage
Meng Yunzheng and Xiang Weinan exchanged a glance, then suddenly reached into the basket and grabbed a handful of copper coins, immediately throwing them into the distance, "Moneyâs being scattered."
"Wow..." Who doesnât love money?
Not to mention Third Lu, even Madam Li and Madam Liang rushed over, and even Cuihua picked up two coins while holding her sonâs hand.
The other children neednât be mentioned, they retreated from the front gate and all ran into the yard to pick up money.
This time, Zhao Xi was obviously well-prepared, with the clinking of copper coins making the people inside completely forget about their task to block the door.
Only Shurui and Ah Ning, after picking up a few, immediately remembered and rushed back.
But Xiang Weinan leaped down from the wall, walked behind the two, and directly stuffed two big red envelopes into their arms.
Then, taking advantage of their momentary daze, he immediately opened the main door.
Hu Li, Wang Hong, and others outside shouted excitedly, "Quick, letâs rush in and fetch the bride."
Third Lu and the others turned their heads regretfully, straightened up, and wanted to block the door again.
Unfortunately, it was too late, as Zhao Xi swiftly ran inside.
A large group of people followed him, all rushing into the back courtyard.
Ying Xi, who was standing by the Gate of Drooping Flowers watching, quickly ran back to report.
"They came in, theyâve all come in."
The old lady lifted her head to look outside the door, hearing all sorts of cheers already.
"Whatâs with this Third Lu? How long has it been, and they couldnât even hold them back?"
Madam Ruan, seeing that people were arriving, immediately held Shuyouâs hand, her eyes slightly red, "Ah You, you... take care. Come back and visit often. If Zhao Xi treats you badly, donât hide it, come back and tell us, weâll stand up for you."
After the last experience, Madam Ruan was really afraid that her silly girl would again only report the good news without the bad, ending up as thin as a skeleton.
She didnât say much, just instructed her to take good care of herself.
Shuyou reached out and hugged her, "Mother, I know."
The old lady was also a bit reluctant, she took a deep breath and picked up the bridal veil, personally covering Shuyou with it.
Then she squeezed a large pomegranate into her hand.
Shuyou lowered her head, but her eyes under the veil suddenly turned red.
Clearly, she had been married once and had the experience, but last time she only felt reluctant to leave her family and unsure about the future. Now she was still reluctant, but there was also a sense of anticipation.
The lively sounds outside grew closer, past the main door, and the courtyard gate was still being playfully blocked by the aunties.
Apparently, another round of red envelopes had been handed out, and with the hours approaching the right time, Zhao Xi finally appeared in front of her after overcoming many obstacles.
Shuyou couldnât see the person before her, only that there was now a pair of feet in front of her.
The other person seemed a bit nervous, their voice trembling slightly, "Ah You, Iâve come to fetch you."
The people in the room burst into laughter upon hearing the trembling voice.
Surprisingly, Shuyouâs anxious heart was miraculously calmed.
The matchmakerâs cry of "Time to head out" rang out, and Shuyou felt someone helping her up.
Shu Yuâs calm voice came to her ear, "Sister, donât be nervous."
"Mm."
At the doorway, in the open, Shu Yu opened a red umbrella as a symbol of fertility and prosperity.
Following closely, Daniu came over, squatted in front of Shuyou, "Get on, Iâll carry you to the bridal sedan."
The last time, it was also Daniu who carried her out.
Only that time it was in Shangshi Village, the courtyard wasnât big, just a few steps away.
