Lou Dalang was very annoyed with this disobedient younger brother, but he couldn't ignore his father's orders.
"Understood, Father," Lou Dalang replied.
"Although he's marrying a village girl, she's from a scholarly family and a relative of County Magistrate Li. We must not neglect the proper rituals. Wulang ran off without saying how much money he took. Ignore the money he's taken; let him use it as pocket money. In addition, prepare three thousand taels of silver for him as a betrothal gift. For other necessary items, consult your mother and let her make the arrangements."
Lou Dalang replied, "Got it, Father."
After leaving Prefect Lou's study, Lou Dalang went to see Lady Lou.
Lady Lou already knew about the youngest son's marriage to a village girl and was complaining about it.
