Seeing Chen Xiaobei taking the silk, the little girl then said, "Brother Xiaobei, give the other end to my sister-in-law. You hold it in front, and she follows behind and enters the house."
Chen Xiaobei nodded and got into the sedan with the silk.
"Rumei, let's take this and go in later."
After hearing Chen Xiaobei's words, Liu Rumei lifted her hijab, looked at the piece of silk, and smiled.
"That's easy to talk about. I'll hold on to the silk for a while, and you hold on to the other end, and we'll just go in."
Then she listened to the noisy noise outside and said, "Don't forget to give some dried fruits to the people who are watching."
"Also, send someone to spread a few words among the people, saying that it was Fang Zheng who offered to lease the old Prime Minister's Mansion to you."
"Remember, you must say that money was collected from the house levy, do you understand?"
Hearing these words, Chen Xiaobei was stunned. He hesitated and said, "Doesn't this ruin the reputation of the old prime minister?"
Liu Rumei looked at him and said, "What you want is to ruin your reputation. If the emperor heard that the old prime minister took the money, he might just laugh it off. But if the emperor knew that the old prime minister gave it to you for free, he would probably have crazy thoughts. Then maybe I won’t do anything to you, but I’m afraid the blame will fall on the old prime minister.”
After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei suddenly realized, and nodded repeatedly, "That's the truth. Now the emperor can't reason with common sense. Anything is possible, and we must be cautious."
Chen Xiaobei put down the silk and turned around to get out of the sedan. He greeted Yang Chun first and whispered to him in a low voice.
Yang Chun immediately turned around and came to several of his subordinates who were watching the excitement.
After all, they have never participated in marrying a wife, and they don't know what to do next, so most of the time they can only watch the fun.
Of course, just watching the excitement and spreading gossip is naturally a trivial matter for the people of the Suzaku Gang.
Several people blended into the crowd watching the excitement, and one of them shook his head deliberately and sighed, "Oh, I didn't expect that old Prime Minister Fang Zheng would be able to take this step today."
"What's wrong, brother? The old prime minister has been demoted back to his hometown."
"Yes, he has gone home and this house is vacant. I heard that if Chen Xiaobei stays here for two days and brings Liu Rumei over, he will give the Fang family two hundred taels of silver."
"It costs two hundred taels of silver to stay here for two days. This is too expensive."
"Hey, what do you know? This is called staged. Think about it, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how bad Liu Rumei is, Liu Xiangnan was also a protector of the country at the beginning. He, Chen Xiaobei, a brat from the mountains, can't take advantage of others. Let’s go to the inn to get married.”
"Aiya, according to you, these two hundred taels of silver are a bit of a robbery!"
"That's true, but think about it, Fang Zheng has returned to his hometown, and the court will naturally not grant him a seal. Naturally, his hands are nervous. Two hundred taels of silver is enough to feed his big family for a year, right? ?”
"That's right. I didn't expect this old man to be a prime minister. He is very good at doing business."
As they spoke, the two laughed loudly, their voices high enough to be heard by the people around them.
The news soon spread, and of course, the people were happy to hear this kind of news. While telling various gossips, they watched Chen Xiaobei pull the red silk and pull Liu Rumei out of the sedan chair.
Seeing the bride appear, everyone cheered again, and according to the original arrangement, someone soon came over to distribute some dried fruits to the people watching to show their happiness.
In front of outsiders, Chen Xiaobei and Liu Rumei behaved like an ordinary wedding, nothing special. After entering the mansion, they guessed that the people outside could not see it, so Liu Rumei raised her hand and lifted a corner of her hijab, " Brother Xiaobei, have you arranged what I just told you?"
Hearing the question, Chen Xiaobei, who was walking in front, turned around and saw Liu Rumei, who actually lifted the hijab. He hurriedly waved and said, "Put it down quickly, put it down. They say it is unlucky to lift the hijab before worshiping!"
The maid next to her, Xiao Qing, also quickly stepped forward and put down her hijab.
Liu Rumei did have an indifferent tone, "No matter what, it all depends on man-made things. As long as the two of us work together, we will naturally live a good life."
Chen Xiaobei also secretly admired Liu Rumei's words.
This sentence is so true, nothing will be good if you don’t work hard.
But you have to pay attention when it's time to pay attention, at least to get a good result.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei whispered again, "Then we have to pay attention, after all, we have to think about others."
Chen Xiaobei pulled Liu Rumei to the living room.
The reason why I chose to get married here is because it is the most spacious place.
There is a square table in the middle filled with offerings.
There was a statue on it, but Chen Xiaobei couldn't tell which deity it was. Next to the statue were two candlesticks with red candles on them. This was already a very festive decoration.
There is a chair next to the square table.
Chen Xiaobei has no parents. Liu Rumei's father became a monk and his mother is not here either.
However, it would be unsightly to leave the chair empty, so Yang Chun was chosen as Chen Xiaobei's brother and Liu Yuanwen was Liu Rumei's family member, and they were asked to sit on the chairs in front.
After Chen Xiaobei stood up, Xiaoqing supported Liu Rumei and helped her to Chen Xiaobei's side.
Soon, someone shouted at the top of their lungs, "Bow down to heaven and earth."
Although this was the first time Chen Xiaobei had experienced this kind of posture, he had watched many TV series in his previous life. In the TV series, the ancient people worshiping in the church looked like this, and he imitated them. He bowed towards the statue.
Liu Rumei over there also completed the salute with Xiaoqing's support.
Logically speaking, the second call should be to shout "two bows to the high hall".
But obviously it was not appropriate to shout this at this time. The emcee's shout also kept pace with the times, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Second respects, brother."
Chen Xiaobei and Liu Rumei bowed again. Yang Chun couldn't help but be happy, but Liu Yuanwen's face over there was obviously a little disappointed. After all, such a ceremony is really too hasty for a former Marquis's daughter.
Next comes the most important third prayer. The village guards who followed, people from the Liu family, and some guests who came to have a meal all watched the most important bow from a distance.
Chen Xiaobei stood opposite Liu Rumei at the pier.
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
As soon as she said this, Liu Rumei bowed down without waiting for Xiaoqing's support. This bow contained various emotions, including gratitude to Chen Xiaobei, her own true feelings, and a bit of sadness.
Chen Xiaobei also felt a little regretful at this time. In any case, this was an important moment in his life, but his parents in his previous life would never be able to see it.
