Chapter 443
"I'm coming--"

Dressed in silk and satin, Chen Shi, who was full of joy, also ran out of the house when he heard the voice.

She raised her chin first, glanced at Dushi arrogantly, and then turned to Qingluo: "Isn't this the magistrate? Tsk tsk, Meili will be the magistrate's wife from now on. Do you have to salute when you see her?"

Uncle Liu shouted: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

Du's nurse was eager: "What are you talking about, there are no edges! Isn't it just a concubine? We Niuniu are serious county magistrates, can this be the same? You also salute, you have such a big face!"

Chen's face turned pale.

The old man Liu over there said unhappily: "Stop arguing, the magistrate is here, come and greet him!"

"Here we come!" Second Uncle Liu and Mrs. Chen hurriedly arranged their clothes, and trotted to the door to greet them. Those who didn't know their appearance thought they were son-in-law, and the one who came was the father-in-law.

The old man Liu watched for a long time from the corner of his eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "Why are there only a few people here, there are no sedan chair gods and firecrackers...not even a bride, it's too simple..."

Ordinary people marry a daughter-in-law, but also try to appear lively as much as possible.

But the magistrate only brought a sedan chair carried by four people, and played suona three or four times, so he came here naked.

It doesn't even feel grand and festive.

Uncle Liu and Mrs. Chen also heard his muttering.

Second Uncle Liu lowered his voice: "Forget it, I'm the magistrate, so it would be nice to come in person, not to mention that we are beautiful and not the first wife..."

Chen was dissatisfied: "Even if you are not the wife, you have to show some appearance! Many people in the village think that we are beautiful because we are the wife of the wife. How ugly is this?"

Old man Liu became more and more impatient with what they said: "Okay! If the magistrate can take a fancy to Meili, you should burn incense! Meili is young, and she might have a chance to get her right in the future!"

"It's true..." Mrs. Chen became happy again.

Now that the sedan chair had arrived, the villagers didn't dare to sit casually when they saw such a high-ranking official for the first time, so they all stood in the yard and watched silently.

According to the rules, when the sedan chair arrives, the bride should come over with the name card first.

But Zhou Miao didn't bring Xi Niang at all, so the scene was a bit awkward.

"Oh my god! It's fine if you just come with a sedan chair," Du Shi pulled Qing Luo and Yu Shu, stood behind the crowd to watch the excitement, and said contemptuously, "There is not even a bride, this is too much, What can we do later?"

Qingluo didn't answer, she was thinking about something.

At this time Zhou Miao got off the horse and gestured to a bearer.

The bearer quickly returned his hand and took out a name card from his arms, and walked forward happily.

Is it plausible to ask the bearer to send the post over?
The villagers also saw that something was wrong and began to discuss in low voices.

Second Uncle Liu was stunned for a long time, and was kicked by old man Liu before he realized it, quickly took the post, and shouted inside: "Hurry up, set off firecrackers!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of crackling firecrackers rang out immediately.

Qingluo followed the sound and found that the one setting off the firecrackers was actually her father Liu Heping.

Du quickly explained: "Your father also heard that the magistrate is useful to you, so he came to help you. Don't be angry."

Qing Luo put her arms around her, and said with a sweet smile: "My parents are all for me, why would I be angry? Just don't do this in the future, that Zhou Miao is not a high-ranking official, if something happens to him, won't he implicate me? "

Upon hearing that she might be hurt, Du's expression changed, "I'll call your father back immediately!"

Qingluo held her back: "Don't be in such a hurry, I just want to tell you, let's live a clean life in the future and don't get involved in this matter."

"That's right, no matter what they say in the future, your father and I will never believe it again!" Shi Du hurriedly nodded.

Although she doesn't know anything about officialdom, she knows not to cause trouble for her daughter.

The crackling of the firecrackers is over, and the next step should be to block the sedan chair door.

"The firecrackers are over, hurry up and close the door!" Uncle Liu ordered the door to be closed, leaving only a crack.

The villagers who were watching the excitement didn't care that the prefect was there, and they all squeezed over to watch the excitement.

When Zhou Miao saw this posture, a trace of impatience appeared on her face, but she held back, took out a money bag, and handed it to the previous bearer.

The bearer then walked to the crack of the door, stuffed the purse in, and said with a smile: "Don't delay the good time, open the door quickly!"

Seeing the money bag, Second Uncle Liu's eyes lit up, he took it, and couldn't wait to open it.

Everyone's eyes also stared at the past.

After all, he is the magistrate, so the red envelope for opening the door is indispensable no matter what.

Everyone wants to know each other.

It's just that this money bag looks a little old and not old, it doesn't look like it's for welcoming relatives.

Uncle Liu didn't care about the purse, so he just opened it.

Then his smile stiffened a bit.

The good guy next to him counted for him: "One, two, oh, there must be more than ten taels, right?"

Gee...

Everyone whispered to each other.

If it's an ordinary family, it's not bad to give twelve taels of red envelopes, but Zhou Miao is a dignified fifth-rank magistrate!

If you come to welcome the bride, you will give ten taels of silver...

This is too shabby...

Moreover, the silver in the purse was scattered, and there were even copper plates, which didn't look like they were specially prepared.

"Is it the magistrate?" The villagers discussed.

"Who knows, I can't tell... This is too shabby, I thought I could see something big..."

Their comments annoyed old man Liu and Mrs. Chen, and felt that they were greatly ashamed.

But right now it was hard to get off, and they couldn't afford to offend Zhou Miao, so they had to reluctantly open the door.

The bearer brought the sedan chair in and stopped at the door of Liu Meili's house.

Inside, Liu Meili was probably dressing up, but Qing Luo only saw Ji Yuehong poking her head out to have a look, and then shrank back.

Du Shi looked at Qi and said, "This thing with elbows turned outward!"

"Ask the bride to go out and get on the sedan chair—"

The bearer shouted loudly.

Nothing happened inside.

This is normal. Generally, it takes three reminders before the bride will come out, showing her reserve and reluctance to leave the family.

When the reminder reached the third sound, the person came out.

Liu Meili, who was wearing a red wedding dress, covered her head and was carried by her elder brother Liu Yingjun.

After stepping over the brazier, I finally got on the sedan chair.

Zhou Miao's impatient expression finally loosened a bit.

Just when Liu Meili was about to get on the sedan chair, a gust of wind suddenly blew off the hijab on her head.

A smeared snow-white face was revealed.

"Huh? Isn't this the beautiful girl from Baihualou?" A man's voice sounded in surprise.

Immediately someone echoed: "That's right, it's her! I said no matter where I go recently, I can't see her anymore. Can you earn enough money and come back to marry someone?"

The voices of these two people were so loud that everyone in the yard could hear every word clearly.
