Chapter 73 Su Xi Gets Married (Part 3)

"Mother, Second Aunt, are you going to sew this dress for Sister Xi to wear when she gets married?"

Su Qian frowned as she looked at the clothes in their hands.

The materials they had were all coarse cloth that they had bought casually in order to avoid being conspicuous, and the color was not bright red.

"This is the most festive material we could find, so let's put it together!"

The second aunt of the Su family said with a smile.

Su Qian shook her head slightly. "Marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event. How can it be compromised? I just went to the town to buy some fine red satin. I'll go get some and you guys can make it again!"

"Well, that's fine! This fabric is definitely not suitable for a wedding dress. Ah Qian, go now!"

Gu Luyun nodded gently and put away the clothes in her hands, "Sister-in-law, let's hurry up, we can get out today! It's the children's lifelong affairs, we can't compromise!"

"Hey, you know our current conditions, sister-in-law! Since Ah Qian is so willing, Second Aunt will not refuse!"

The second aunt of the Su family also put away the navy blue clothes she was preparing to sew for her aunt.

"Okay, I'll go get it now!"

Su Qian smiled slightly, put down the wooden barrel in his hand, and walked towards the dock.

Of course, she did not actually open the wooden box, but directly exchanged it for two pieces of red satin from the market and returned to the stone fort.

Gu Luyun and the others re-cut the fabric, while Su Qian carried the bucket to the kitchen.

They all have things to do, so you can make lunch by yourself today!

Soon, after the meal was ready, Su Xi and the others rushed back from the beach!

Su Qian took it casually, added some clean water to let the sand in the seafood spit out, and then took Su Xi to Su Xi's room on the top floor of the stone fortress.

"Ah Qian, what's wrong? Why are you so mysterious?"

Su Xi, who was being pulled by Su Qian, asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Su Qian closed the door and took out the sandalwood box in his hand. "Sister Xi, you are getting married! I don't have anything to give you, so this box of things can be used as makeup for you!"

"Okay, let me see what good things our Ah-Shan has given me to make up for me!"

Su Xi did not refuse and opened the sandalwood box with a smile.

After so many years of getting along, she always regarded Su Qian as her own sister, so she had no intention of being polite to her.

"Oh my god! Ah Qian, are you giving all your assets to your sister?"

Su Xi, who thought Su Qian would at most give her some silver jewelry, was dumbfounded. Now she felt the sandalwood box in her hand was hot!

"Ah Qian, I'll take the silver ornaments in this box, but you can take the rest back! You, my aunt, and my parents will need them."

Su Xi took out the silver ornaments from the wooden box and planned to return the other things to Su Qian. "After my sister leaves, my parents and Ah He will still need your care. You can keep these for yourself."

Su Qian put the sandalwood box directly into her arms, "Don't worry, these don't cost much! You keep them, they are your confidence to marry into the Ye family. Mother said that when the general's mansion is still there, she should buy you a trousseau of 28 kg and a few thousand taels of silver for your personal allowance. Now you can keep these!"

In ancient times, if a woman wanted to have a status in her husband's family after getting married, it still depended on the dowry she brought!

A woman without a dowry will only be bullied by her husband's family.

"Ah Qian, Ah Xun doesn't care about these things, and his family is well-off, so my sister won't suffer in the past. You should keep these!"

Su Xi still wanted to return the sandalwood box to Su Qian.

"Keep it for yourself. I heard that you will go to the capital after you get married, so keep it safe on the way!"

Su Qian gave a few instructions and turned to leave. "Second Uncle and the others should be back soon. I'll clean up and prepare for dinner!"

Seeing that she was determined, Su Xi could only carefully put away the sandalwood box.

In fact, Ah Qian was right. This box of things was indeed the basis for her to marry into the Ye family.

Soon, Uncle Su and his family came back and bought a lot of red cloth, red paper, red candles, and red lanterns.

Of course, the fabric is all that fine cotton.

Seeing that Su Qian had already bought the finest red silk and asked Gu Luyun and others to cut her wedding dress, Su's second uncle and his men decorated the stone fort with red cloth and red paper. They even hung red cloth on the eight boxes of dowry that Su Qian had placed on the fishing boat.

After being decorated, the stone fortress suddenly became joyful.

"Ah Qian, after my sister gets married tomorrow, she will leave with Ah Xun! In the future, if you miss me, you can come to No. 82, Liujia Lane, Ducheng to find me, okay?"

That night, Su Xi, with tears in her eyes, held Su Qian's hand reluctantly.

The second aunt of the Su family was knitting noodles for Su Xi with a thin thread, while reminding her, "Ah Xi, after you get married, you must live a good life with Ah Xun, take care of your husband and children, you know? After you get married, you can't be naughty like a child!"

Su Xi responded softly, holding Su Qian's hand, with tears in her eyes.

I don't know if it was the tears from the pain of combing my face or the reluctance to leave.

Or maybe both!

After the face was polished, Gu Luyun handed the wedding dress she had hurriedly made to the second aunt of the Su family, asking her to give it to Su Xi to see if the size fit.

Looking at her daughter who had grown into a beautiful young lady wearing her wedding dress, the second aunt of the Su family was filled with reluctance.

If her daughter had not fallen in love with the boy from the Ye family, if the boy from the Ye family had not come all the way to find her daughter and bring her back to the capital, she really would have wanted to raise her daughter like this for the rest of her life.

The next day, at noon.

Su Xi, wearing a bright red wedding dress, bid farewell to her uncle and aunt after eating a bowl of glutinous rice balls with Ye Xun.

Before leaving, she held Ye Xun's hand and kowtowed three times to her parents and Gu Luyun. Then she covered her head with a red veil and left the stone fort with the help of Ye Xun.

Su Qian, Su He and Su's second uncle followed them, and they boarded Su's second uncle's fishing boat together.

The eight large boxes prepared by Su Qian were also moved over.

Afterwards, under the rowing of the Su River, the group headed towards Haiping Town.

In the cabin, Su Xi was holding Ye Xun's hand and crying quietly, her voice filled with reluctance.

Her crying made Ye Xun feel distressed, and he kept comforting her, "Xi'er, after I pass the palace examination next year, I will find a way to bring your parents back to the capital so that you can reunite, okay?"

Su Xi nodded gently, and her crying became quieter. Then the newlyweds began to whisper to each other.

Su Qian and Su's second uncle stood at the bow of the boat and did not disturb the young couple.

Soon, half an hour later we arrived at Haiping Town.

Su's second uncle took Ye Xun and the others to register at the government office, so that Su Xi would not become an illegal resident when he arrived in the capital.

Su Qian went to the escort agency in Haiping Town and asked someone to escort the couple back to the capital safely.

After all, Ye Xun encountered robbers on his way here and all his belongings were stolen!
