Li Zexuan, who had been woken up early in the morning and tidied up neatly, was ordered by his father to stay at home and wait for the Han Family's makeup team to arrive. After waiting for a long time, Li Zexuan lay down comfortably on the recliner and went back to sleep.
Li Zexuan, who was wandering in his sleep, naturally didn't know about the wave of "family reunion" that was happening on the streets of Chang 'an City. He also didn't know that today's makeup team would be so huge that it would stun everyone.
"Hey! Old Master, why isn't the makeup team here yet? Could it be that something went wrong on the way? "
Madam Li was anxiously pacing back and forth in the front yard, looking at the gate from time to time. However, after waiting for a long time and not seeing the makeup team, she finally couldn't help but ask.
"Haha! Madam, don't be anxious. What could happen to the emperor? They will definitely be here soon! Besides, didn't Madam just send Sanbao out to scout for news? There should be news soon! "
Li Jingmo was also a little anxious, but he forced himself to calm down and comforted her.
"Hmph! Still talking about it! Didn't our daughter-in-law get kidnapped outside Chang 'an City last time? Fortunately, Xuan 'er went there in time and nothing happened. "
Madam Li rolled her eyes and said unhappily.
"Ahem, wasn't that an accident? Besides, weren't those bandits already surrounded by the imperial army? Madam, don't worry about it! "
Li Jingmo's face darkened, and he said in a muffled voice.
"I'm worried about it?"
Madam Li immediately jumped up as if someone had stepped on her tail. "If I don't worry about my daughter-in-law, who will? One of you is sleeping soundly in the hall, and the other is drinking tea leisurely here. In the end, it's me who's worrying for nothing! "
Alright, with such an unreasonable wife, Old Master Li could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger. He smiled and said, "Ahem, it was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue. Madam, please don't be angry …"
"They're here, they're here! Old Master, Madam, the makeup team from the Han Family is here! So long, so long, so long! "
Just as the old couple was about to quarrel, San Bao ran in and shouted while gasping for breath.
"You're here? He's here ~? Where is it? What's so long ~? "
Madam Li immediately forgot about her earlier emotions. She quickly glanced at the door and asked San Bao.
"Madam, they are almost at the entrance of the workshop. San Bao ran faster, so she came back first! The makeup line is so long, and there are so many people around to watch the fun ~! "
San Bao took a deep breath and bowed.
"Haha! Good, good, good ~! Old Master, our in-laws have also given us face ~! I didn't send so many betrothal gifts in vain! "
When Madam Li heard this, she was overjoyed. She thought that Han Tianhu had only sent back most of the betrothal gifts! She was already very satisfied with that. After all, the Li family had given her a lot of betrothal gifts. She only needed to send back a part of it, and it was already very ostentatious. It could be considered giving face to the Li family. Which mother wouldn't want her son's wedding to be lively ~?
"Haha! Of course ~! Tianhu isn't someone who forgets righteousness at the sight of profit. He might have even supplemented the betrothal gifts from other places ~! The Han family's foundation is thin, but Tianhu's character is unquestionable ~! This marriage is going well ~! "
Old Man Li stood up and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes ~! Xiao He, go and wake Young Master up and wipe his face. Why are you in such a daze on such a joyous day ~! "
Madam Li was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She turned her head and ordered Xiao He.
"Yes ~! Madam ~! "
Thinking of her Young Master, Xiao Xi covered her mouth and smiled. She ran to the main hall to wake the "lazy pig" up ~!
In just a short while, there were sounds of drums and gongs outside the door. Then, they saw Iron Egg, Hu Hanyun, Qin Huaiyu, and Li Dejian, who were wearing joyful clothes, striding into the residence first.
"Grand Master, Grand Master, Iron Egg is here to send my sister's makeup ~!"
Iron Egg smiled and bowed to Li Jingmo and Madam Li.
"Good, good, good ~! Good child, go in and rest ~! "
Iron Egg was very obedient in the Li family and was deeply loved by the two elders. At this time, Madam Li lovingly touched the back of Iron Egg's head and said softly.
"The Han Family presents their daughter's dowry ~ ~ 20 million copper coins, 1000 mu of fertile land, three plates of coral pearls, golden amber pearls, beeswax pearls, and agarwood pearls, four pieces of green jade, four pieces of white jade, two pieces of crystal, two pieces of gold amber, two pieces of jade, two pieces of ivory, two pieces of jade, two pieces of ivory, two pieces of eyed deer bone, two pieces of ox horn …!"
San Bao and Ah Fu took turns to sing the gifts at the door. Butler Wang Zhong leaned over the red square table that had been set up earlier and quickly recorded everything down. As he recorded, his forehead started to sweat uncontrollably. There seemed to be an endless supply of gifts. He couldn't finish recording them no matter how hard he tried!
Madam Li listened for a while and felt that something was wrong. She had never seen many of these things before. Most of the dowry from the Han family should be self-prepared ~! She couldn't help but look at Li Jingmo and ask,
"Master, this ~ ~ isn't this too much ~?"
"Yes, it is indeed more than what we sent over ~! Isn't this Han Tianhu too honest ~? For the sake of his daughter's reputation, where did he get so much wealth ~? Yo ~! It looks like there's still a long line behind. This ~ this ~? "
Li Jingmo looked out of the courtyard and was instantly stunned. There were close to two hundred ox-carts and four to five hundred gifts. The procession of gifts stretched for several hundred meters. Looking around, it was either gifts or people. The usually spacious Yongle Lane suddenly became crowded. All the residents in the lane were alarmed and came to see what was going on. This led to more people delivering gifts and even more people coming to see what was going on!
"Hehe ~! Old Master Li, Madam Li, Du Yanheng from the Du family in Chonghua Lane is here to send dowry for his niece! These are just some small gifts to show my respect! "
While Old Master Li was dumbfounded, Du Yanheng went forward and cupped his hands with a smile.
"Uh ~! You are Han Yuxi's uncle ~? "
Li Jingmo asked in surprise.
"Yes, Yuxi's mother is my biological sister. Because of my father, the two families might have been at odds. Today, I know that Yuxi is getting married, so I came here specially to add dowry for my niece ~!"
"I see! Hehe, you are a guest. Brother Du, please come in ~! "
Li Jingmo looked at the silent Iron Egg beside him, and his eyes flashed. He knew that there must be something hidden in this, but he knew that now wasn't the time to delve into it, so he smiled calmly.
"Hehe, thank you ~!"
Du Yanheng heaved a sigh of relief and walked in.
"The Du family in Chonghua Lane is sending dowry for my niece ~ 800,000 copper coins …"
San Bao then sang the Du family's gift list.
"Uncle Li, Auntie Li, Huaiyu is here today to add dowry for my adopted sister on behalf of my parents ~!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
This was an old acquaintance. When Li Jingmo and Mrs. Li heard that the Qin family also came to send dowry for Han Yuxi, their faces glowed even brighter. They quickly invited Qin Huaiyu to the side to chat enthusiastically. Coincidentally, Li Zexuan was also cleaned up by Xiao He, so the two brothers stood at the side and chatted about family matters.
"The Duke of Yi's Mansion is sending dowry for his adopted daughter ~ 4 million copper coins, 1,000 mu of fertile land, a pair of pure gold buttons inlaid with jewels, a pair of white jade mandarin duck buttons, four pairs of pearls, two small knives with jade handles and ivory handles, four gold necklaces, six silver necklaces, one golden phoenix with pearls, and one golden hairpin with longevity fruit in the mouth of a pair of phoenixes …"
When it was time to read the Qin family's gift list, the quick-witted San Bao immediately raised her voice to the maximum. The onlookers outside all heard it clearly, and there was an uproar. Countless exclamations sounded from the crowd.
"Wow ~! So the bride is the adopted daughter of the Duke of Yi ~! "
"Oh my god ~! The Qin family is here to add dowry ~! It's not a loss for the Li family's eldest son to marry into this family ~! "
"It's more than not a loss ~! It's a huge profit. Did you hear how much dowry the Qin family added? 4 million copper coins, 1,000 mu of fertile land ~! What the heck ~! Is the Duke of Yi marrying off his adopted daughter at this time? Or is he marrying off his own daughter? "
"That's right ~! Such a thick dowry means that Miss Han's status in the Qin family is also very high ~! "
… … …
Hearing the discussions outside, the corners of Madam Li's mouth couldn't help but curl up into a very elegant arc. She was now very satisfied with this marriage ~!
"Cough cough ~! Li … Master Li, Madam Li, I am Li Dejian. Under the orders of my father and mother, I specially came today to send my niece Yuxi's dowry ~! "
Li Dejian, who was on the side, originally wanted to follow Qin Huaiyu and call Li Jingmo and Madam Li uncle and aunt. However, when he remembered that Han Yuxi was his niece, he felt that it wasn't right to call them by seniority. However, if he called Li Jingmo Brother Li as a peer, he was afraid that Qin Huaiyu would be embarrassed. After thinking about it, he could only call him that.
