864 Getting Married (5)

As for Shen Qiu, Shen Miao would not be in Ming Qi from now on, so she could only ask her brother to help take care of the Feng family.

When Feng Anning heard that, she blushed and muttered, “He’s so fierce. Who wants his help…”

However, Shen Miao did not hear this.

Shen Miao did not have any sisters, and she had even fewer friends in Ming Qi. Most of the people who came to give Shen Miao gifts were here because of Luo Xueyan. Most of the things they gave were gold and silver jewelry. When they came, they were envious of Shen Miao’s generous betrothal gift.

!!

At this moment, the procession had already arrived at the entrance of the Shen mansion.

Luo Xueyan and Miss Mei both came in. Miss Mei covered Shen Miao with a veil, and Shen Miao slowly walked out with the help of the two of them.

The entrance of the Shen mansion was really lively today.

It was crowded with people, and they were discussing.

“The wedding of the fifth daughter of the Shen family is really grand today. Look at the carriages. They don’t look like something ordinary people can afford to use.”

Another person chimed in, “How can it not be grand? Not to mention that the Shen family is glorious to begin with, look at who Miss Shen is marrying. He’s the prince of the Daliang Dynasty. I heard that the Daliang Dynasty is prosperous. At first, I didn’t believe it, but now, I have to. Prince Rui is making the wedding even grander than when His Majesty married the empress. Isn’t he slapping His Majesty’s face?”

“Shh, don’t speak it out loud.” The middle-aged woman said, “I heard that Prince Rui of the Daliang Dynasty gave a total of 99 betrothal gifts. I wonder if it’s true.”

“Hey, hey, hey, look, it’s here!”

On the day of the wedding, it was a custom in Ming Qi that the groom had to bring the betrothal gifts to the bride’s family one by one for everyone to see. Therefore, the richer the betrothal gifts, the more respect the bride’s family would receive.

In order to make it look good on the surface, some people would deliberately use the empty boxes as betrothal gifts on the day of the wedding.

However, that was not the case today.

Because the boxes were all wide open, allowing people to see what was inside clearly.

Antiques, calligraphy, jewelry, furniture, clothes, silver… There was everything. The boxes were filled to the brim, making people envious.

However, no one dared to snatch anything. Even the most arrogant bandits did not dare to act rashly, because around the servant who was carrying the box were soldiers of the Daliang Dynasty. The soldiers were wearing thick armor, and their swords were unsheathed and stuck to their sides. They looked dignified, and their footsteps were in unison. It was as if as long as someone had ill intentions, they would immediately drag the person away and kill him.

The crowd automatically made way for the people carrying the betrothal gifts to pass.

Some people were curious and really counted with their fingers. “One, two, three, four…” The long line seemed to be endless, and the sound of people gasping rose and fell in the crowd. Finally, someone shouted, “It’s 99! 99 betrothal gifts!”

99 betrothal gifts!
