Chapter 656 Welcoming the Bride
After Ziluo finished eating, she continued to go to her room to look at the many gifts that Chu Heng had bought for her. There were a lot of them, and Ye Muyu called her to organize them herself. Ziluo was very enthusiastic about organizing them.
Meanwhile, at the Chu family's old mansion, while Ye Muyu's family was calm, things were not going smoothly.
The auspicious time had arrived, and Song Lu had also arrived, but accompanying him to propose marriage was not his own brother, but rather his cousin who was two degrees removed. Furthermore, the sedan chair and musicians that were originally agreed upon to accompany the procession were nowhere to be seen. If it weren't for Song Lu wearing a bright red wedding robe and accompanied by a matchmaker, it would have been impossible to tell that he was here to propose marriage.
For a moment, the Chu family's courtyard was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Whether it was the relatives who came to congratulate or the villagers, they all couldn't help but show surprise.
Seeing Song Lu's appearance, they couldn't help but feel incredulous. This was too simple.
Was this the treatment for a scholar's marriage?
The elders present recalled when Chu Heng sought Ye Muyu's hand in marriage.
At that time, there were musicians playing suona, sedan chairs, and the procession was lively as they carried the bride from Dazhu Village to Xingshui Village.
There hadn't been anything comparable in these years.
Everyone had been prepared to witness the excitement today.
Unexpectedly, it was truly 'exciting.'
Upon hearing the news, Chu Liushi walked out, her face somewhat unsightly. This was a blow to the face of the Chu family.
As Song Lu approached, his face was full of embarrassment as he first paid his respects to the elders of the Chu family.
The steps of stopping the groom's official procession were directly cancelled because Song Lu came to marry alone.
Song Lu followed into the hall to speak.
Outside, many villagers who were there to watch the excitement began to speak ill.
Inside the room, Chu Qingxiang also heard it, her eyes instantly turning red, feeling very aggrieved, tightly clenching her fists.
She couldn't understand why Song Lu would embarrass her like this. This was her wedding day, once in a lifetime.
No, it wasn't Song Lu, it must be the Song family!
Chu Qingxiang clenched her fists tightly, hatred slowly overflowing in her eyes.
Inside the hall.
Chu Liushi's face was tired as she looked at Song Lu kneeling in front of her, her patience wearing thin. She asked directly, "What's going on?"
"I'm useless. The sedan chair from our family broke down yesterday and couldn't be brought over. I tried to borrow one, but couldn't find one in a short time..."
"Tell the truth!" Chu Liushi's tone was calm but her attitude was resolute.
"My parents were angry and didn't allow it." Song Lu's face was full of despair. He hadn't participated in the provincial exam this time, but he had resolved the matter with the Wang family. Three years later, he would have another chance to take the exam. However, he hadn't expected that his parents, who had always been easy to persuade, would suddenly make things difficult for him before the wedding and even took away all his money.
He had been locked up at home. He had only been released this morning with the excuse of taking the exam.
Even though he was released, there were no extra items for the wedding procession. Even the matchmaker had been found by him sneaking over, using his own reputation as a guarantee.
"Alright, very well." Chu Liushi narrowed her eyes.
Zhang, on the other hand, was so angry that she cursed, "How dare your parents! My good daughter is marrying you. Before the wedding, they don't care. How can she live after marrying you!"
"The reputation of our Chu family cannot be insulted by your Song family." Chu Liushi's voice was calm, "I will make arrangements. You will still welcome the bride as usual."
"Thank you, Madam." Song Lu's mouth was bitter. He hadn't eaten in the past two days. When he stood up, he almost fell down. He was supported by Chu Lin before he could stand firmly.
