Chapter 82 Before Marriage

Zhang Xiulan shook her head, "I don't know, it came suddenly, I'm still surprised..."

Zhang Xiulan looked at Li Yulou while talking.

Li Yulou couldn't figure it out for a while holding the edict of reward.

"Our Li family also has an edict." Li Xu suddenly took the edict from Li Yulou excitedly, "It should be confessed in the ancestral hall."

"Does your Li family have an ancestral hall?" Zhang Xiulan asked.

Li Xu didn't care about Zhang Xiulan's words, and rubbed the imperial decree in his hand. It felt really good to the touch, and it seemed to be better than the commonly used paper.

"It should be His Majesty who was grateful to us for saving King Yan back then, and now I'm going to marry, so I gave you a gift..." Li Yulou thought for a while and said.

"I was also promoted today." Li Xu carefully rolled up the imperial decree, tied the golden ribbon on it, and handed it to Li Yulou again, "This is for you, take it to your own home in the future."

Li Yulou hummed, said a few words with Zhang Xiulan and Li Xu, then turned and went back to his room.

Zhang Xiulan pulled Li Xu and asked him what official he had been promoted to.Li Xu explained to her, but she didn't quite understand, and finally asked, "How much salary can I get?"

Li Xu said, "It can grow almost three hundred copper plates."

Zhang Xiulan stared at Li Xu with wide eyes, then her face darkened, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, she turned and left, feeling that her happiness just now was completely superfluous.

As night fell, the Li family, which had been hustle and bustle all day, finally calmed down. Everything that needed to be prepared was ready, and they were only waiting to put on their wedding dress and get married tomorrow.

Although I have lived here for a short time, I still have a lot of reluctance, not for the house, but for the family members.

Putting on the wedding dress and sitting in the sedan chair tomorrow, everything will be different. She has changed from Li Yulou to Meng Lishi.

Li Yulou was a little lost and anxious, after all, it was the beginning of another stage of life.

"Sister..." Li Yukun poked his head in with a grin on his face.

"What's the matter?" Li Yulou withdrew his thoughts, put the things in his hands aside, "Come in."

"I'll come and see you." Li Yukun walked in and sat upright on the chair opposite Li Yulou.

Such a younger brother made Li Yulou a little uncomfortable, "Why are you so disciplined, what do you want to say?"

"Sister, I will miss you." Li Yukun suddenly looked into her eyes and said seriously.

Li Yulou,...

"How much money is missing?" Li Yulou asked.

"Sister, I'm not that kind of person. You're going to get married tomorrow... In the future,...will you give me ten or two lines?" Li Yukun was sensational, but suddenly felt that there was no stamina, so he turned to look at her and asked.

Li Yulou glared at Li Yukun, "This is the capital city, it costs more than Xiuzhou, everything is expensive, save yourself..."

"Also, the family has no income now, and you have to understand it yourself."

It was rare for Li Yukun to listen carefully.

"Also, after I get married, you have to know how to take care of your parents. You are not young anymore."

"Well, I know..." Li Yukun nodded in agreement, with a very sincere attitude.

Li Yulou handed over the silver to Li Yukun, but his eyes still turned red.

"Thank you sister," Li Yukun couldn't hide his joy, "Brother Shi Yu is more reliable than his parents, you will enjoy your blessings when you go, don't be sad, you should be happy."

After Li Yukun finished speaking, he ran away heartlessly.

Just as Li Yukun left, Zhang Xiulan came and gave her some advice.

"May I sleep with you tonight? They all said that my daughter likes to sleep with her the night before she gets married." Zhang Xiulan looked at Li Yulou with a vigilant expression, as if she was worried about Li Yulou and nodded.

Li Yulou didn't dare to think about what it was like to sleep with Zhang Xiulan, she had long forgotten what it was like to be in her mother's arms.

She has never had the feeling of looking for tenderness and sweetness in her mother, so she never yearns for it.

"No, no need!" Li Yulou hastily refused.

"Well, your child has been independent since he was a child, and he is different from other children." Zhang Xiulan relaxed for a while, and praised Li Yulou a few words.

Before dawn on the second day, Li Yulou was arrested to take a bath and change clothes, ready to wait for Meng Shiyu's big bridal sedan chair.

Zhou Ying came early in the morning.Fortunately, Zhou Ying was there, otherwise she would not even have a single person to accompany her when she got married.

Without a little friend, the entertainment activities that prevented Meng Shiyu from marrying her would naturally be out of the question.

The Li family had just come to the capital, and they had almost no contacts, except for the Zhou family, they had no close contacts.

Liu Feng'e seemed to feel lonely when she came to the capital, so she came to Li's house early in the morning to help.

However, there should not be two tables of guests, only Li Xu's colleagues may come.

As the sun rose higher and higher, more and more people visited Li's house to congratulate him, making his small yard crowded.

The so-called separation of male guests and female guests for weddings held by the people of the capital and other kinds of attention are simply impossible.

"Why are there so many guests?" Zhang Xiulan asked Li Xu.

Li Xu was also at a loss, because he didn't know the people who came except those few colleagues.

Before, he thought that only those colleagues of similar level who intersected with him might come, and even these he was not sure.

But now, not only his colleagues, but also officials from other yamen have come one after another, and the highest official position is Cong Sanpin.

This completely confused Li Xu.

Li Xu originally wanted to say goodbye to his daughter. As a father, he would give a few words of advice when his daughter got married, but now it seems impossible to do so.

"Zhang Xiulan, you're getting worse and worse. You don't know how many guests are coming to your wedding. Now you don't even have chairs. What should you do?" Liu Feng'e was anxious and looked at Zhang Xiulan with disdain again.

Zhang Xiulan's forehead was sweating, "I don't know where these people came from."

"I see it this way..." Liu Feng'e said, "You take money to the restaurant at the entrance of the alley to reserve a table, as well as other people's tables and chairs, and rent all the available people to deal with the current scene."

"Aying, I don't know what I would do without you?" Li Yulou hadn't seen his family since the morning, and even his maid didn't know where to go.

"The courtyard is full of guests, and you can't even find a place to stand. You guys..." Zhou Ying was almost dragged into entertaining the guests, serving tea and water.

"How come?" Li Yulou looked at Zhou Ying, "My family doesn't have many acquaintances in the capital, except you..."

At this moment, several little girls, wearing beautiful clothes and combing double buns, appeared at the door of Li Yulou's house, looking in with their probes, smiling brightly, like winter jasmine blooming in March.

"It's the bride..." The girl who was the first to see Li Yulou turned around and said to the other girls behind her in surprise.

Immediately, seven or eight girls of twelve or thirteen years old poured into Li Yulou's room.

They pushed Zhou Ying aside, and then looked at Li Yulou, "Oh, Sister Li is so pretty, I have never seen such a beautiful bride before."

"Yeah, how can I look so good-looking? Will I look so good-looking in my wedding dress?"

"For sure, girls look the best in wedding dresses."

……

A group of little girls chattered excitedly like sparrows that had just emerged from their nests.

"Are you..." Li Yulou finally couldn't bear it, and asked with a raised voice.
