Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

Chen Er was a little surprised when he saw the door of Zhao Yun's parents' house.

Shahe Town itself is larger and richer than Gushui Town, and Zhao Yunniang's home is considered quite good in Shahe Town.

tuk tuk tuk

tuk tuk tuk

Zhao Yunniang knocked several times, and someone inside the door asked, "Who is it?"

"Brother, it's me."

There was silence inside, and no one came to open the door.

Zhao Yunniang took a deep breath and raised her voice before continuing, "Brother, I have found a husband, and he is right next to me now."

"what?!"

There were footsteps coming from the door, and soon the door was opened from the inside.

A man in a green shirt stuck his head out, saw Chen Er next to Zhao Yunniang, and looked him up and down.

Chen Er was originally dressed in shorts, and he was building a wall before coming, so it was inevitable that he was covered in a lot of mud.

The man in green shirt frowned, seeming to be a little disgusted.

"Who?"

A woman's voice came from the door again. The man in green turned his head irritably and said, "Yunniang brought back a man."

Zhao Yunniang heard the voice and said, "Mother, I have found a husband. Let me show you."

The sound of footsteps of several people was heard from inside the door, and soon, a door was completely opened, and an elderly couple and a young woman appeared in front of Chen Er.

Zhao Yunniang said calmly: "Father and mother, elder brother and sister-in-law, this is Chen Dingmao, the husband I found for myself."

Gollum~~

Unexpectedly, at this moment Chen Er's stomach growled at an inopportune time.

Chen Er suddenly felt a little embarrassed and his face turned red again.

Zhao Yunniang's parents, brothers and sisters-in-law all looked a little darker.

It was almost noon when Zhao Yunniang went over there. By the time they sat down and finished chatting, and then walked from Fengle Village to Shahe Town, it was already afternoon.

Chen Er had a big appetite to begin with, and after doing physical work for the whole morning, he was already starving, so naturally he made this sound.

Chen Er smiled and nodded at several people in a simple and honest manner. The expressions of the four people in the door changed several times, but they finally invited Chen Er and Yunniang into the house.

Zhao Yunniang was very calm. She raised her feet and followed her parents into the house calmly.

Now the Zhao family is eager to marry Yunniang off. Although they look down on the man she found, they did not show it too obviously.

"Just now, Yunniang asked, what is your name?"

"My name is Chen Dingmao, and I'm from Fengle Village."

Yunniang's father twisted his beard and looked at the beams, nodding thoughtfully: "Oh... yeah."

……

No words were spoken for a long while.

"What do you do for a living?" Yunniang's mother couldn't help but look Chen Er up and down again.

"I have a few acres of land at home, where I grow crops and sometimes do odd jobs for others."

"Tsk——" A soft sneer came from the side.

Although he stopped immediately, everyone in the hall heard it clearly, and the atmosphere suddenly became more awkward.

……

After a long silence, Yunniang's father seemed to have remembered something and said, "Oh, I remember now. I heard that your village had a scholar last year, right?"

"Yes."

……

The atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense. Finally, Yunniang could no longer hold back and said directly, "Mom and Dad, I have discussed with Ding Mao that he will come to pick me up tomorrow with the marriage certificate and engagement letter. If he has nothing else to do today, let him go back first."

This sentence surprised several people, and their expressions changed immediately.

"Tomorrow? How can it be so soon? It will take several days to get the engagement done." Yunniang's father spoke first.

Yunniang's mother also hesitated and said, "The August Festival is coming soon. How about we wait until after the festival?"

But as soon as these two sentences came out, no one spoke again and the atmosphere became stagnant again.

Yunniang just looked at her parents quietly.

Yunniang's mother looked at her son and daughter-in-law beside her with annoyance, and suddenly felt embarrassed.

Finally, Yunniang's father made the decision: "Let's do it tomorrow. It's not the first wedding, so there's no need to be so particular."

This time, Yunniang's mother quickly nodded in agreement.

Zhao Yunniang came out to see Chen Er off, and when they reached the door she told him, "Just bring the marriage certificate and engagement letter, you don't need to prepare anything else, just come."

Chen Er nodded with a complicated expression and went back to the village.

Shahe Town is a bit far from Fengle Village. When I returned to the village, it was almost evening. I didn't have time to eat and went to discuss with Qin Yunhe and others.

"Will you pick me up tomorrow?"

Several people knew that the Zhao family was anxious, but they didn't expect it to be so anxious.

Mother Qin said, "Even if we save on the big and small things, we won't have enough time to prepare for hiring a sedan chair, writing wedding words, and finding people to pick up the bride tomorrow."

"She said that I can just go pick her up tomorrow with the marriage certificate and engagement letter. There is no need to prepare anything. She will walk back with me."

Mother Qin said, "That won't work. Even if you don't want a sedan chair, you can't walk here. You can't touch the ground before you get home. At least use a bullock cart and put up some wedding characters. Your house has just been renovated and it's not even finished yet. How can you live in it?"

"She really can't stay in her parents' home anymore. I think her parents can't wait for her to leave." As he said this, Chen Er couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Yunniang.

Several people sighed again.

Mother Qin simply said, "Then hurry up and buy some red paper before it gets dark. Cut it and ask Ah Wen to write the word 'happiness' for you. I'll cut a few pairs of festive window decorations for you. Then borrow an ox cart from Ah Chong, and when the time comes, you can wait and go."

Yu Ru also said, "The bride has to spend the first night at her own home, so it's not a good idea to decorate the new house here. I prepared a quilt for the winter a few days ago, you can take it and use it in the new house. Just bear with it for one night, and after tomorrow night you can move to the wing room over there to stay first."

After everything was discussed, several people got busy.

Chen Er went to buy red paper, Qin Yunhe went to borrow an ox cart from his elder brother, and Yu Ru moved out the bedding she had made earlier and waited for Chen Er to come back and take it.

Soon the red paper was bought and the ox cart was borrowed. Qin Yunhe wrote the wedding word, and several people cleaned up the ox cart and Chen Er's house.

Fortunately, the room where Chen Er lived every day had been renovated, with bedding laid out and wedding characters pasted on it, and it looked quite presentable.

The next day, when Chen Er stood at the door of Zhao's house, her house was still deserted, as if Yunniang's marriage had never happened.

tuk tuk tuk

Chen Er knocked on the door.

Soon, the door creaked open and it was Yunniang's elder brother.

"Coming."

"Well, I'll pick up Yunniang."

"come in."

Chen Er followed him in, and Yunniang's eldest brother shouted, "Yunniang, Chen Dingmao is here to pick you up."

There was a noise in the house. After a while, Yunniang's parents came out from the main room, and Yunniang walked out from the side room.

Yunniang just changed into a newer set of clothes and wore a small hairpin with red beads on her head. It didn't look very festive, but it looked very pretty.

Chen Er hurried over to stop her: "Don't come out, don't let your feet touch the ground, I will carry you to the ox cart."

Yunniang didn't care much about these things at first and just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. But now seeing Chen Er so nervous, she began to care a little.

She put her feet back into the house and asked, "Did you drive here?"

"Well, your feet can't touch the ground. Go back to the house and wait for a while. I want to talk to...your parents first."

Yunniang nodded and sat back on the bed waiting.

Yunniang's parents symbolically glanced at the marriage certificate and handed it back.

After receiving the marriage certificate and invitation, Chen Er did not delay any longer and went to Yunniang's room to pick her up.

When Yunniang came out just now, she was not wearing a veil on her head. But when Chen Er went in again this time, she was already wearing a veil.

"Shall I carry you to the car?" Chen Er asked nervously.

"it is good."
