Chapter 425: Is Mustard handsome?
With the betrothal gifts given by Jiang Yu, plus the dowry given by her brothers, Su Wan could definitely call it a ten-mile red wedding.
The dowry given by several brothers, adding up to nearly 200,000 taels, is really scary.
She doesn't even need to bring her own extra assets, otherwise it would be too conspicuous, right?
The dowry had all been counted and packed, but Su Wan still felt that it was too high-profile, so she suggested reducing Jiang Yu's betrothal gift by half, temporarily moving it to the mansion next door, and only bringing half to marry into the Duke's Mansion.
She didn't want to cause public controversy because of her large dowry.
Su Jing thought so too. Bringing so much with him would indeed attract too much attention. It would be better to take only half. Together with what his brothers had prepared, there would be a total of 199 loads of dowry.
Even this is considered very grand among all the families in Kyoto that marry off their daughters.
Anyway, they won’t covet Wanwan’s property, as it’s all left to her.
Finally, according to Su Wan's idea, half of the betrothal gifts brought by Jiang Yu were placed in the mansion next door. When the time comes for the wedding, she only needs to take away the gifts prepared by her brothers and half of the betrothal gifts.
Su Wan returned to the yard later, only to find that Jiang Yu suddenly appeared on her swing.
Whenever this happened, Liuyun and Liuying would consciously step back, leaving the space for the two of them to be alone.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say we can't see each other for half a month before the wedding?"
Su Wan stood in front of him and looked at him puzzledly and asked.
Seeing her coming, Jiang Yu stood up and held her in his arms without saying anything. He lowered his head and greedily sniffed the fragrance of her hair.
"But I haven't seen you for more than half a month. I miss you very much." His tone was a little aggrieved, which made Su Wan soften her heart in an instant.
She patted his back as if soothing a puppy.
"Okay, then we'll see each other tonight. We'll have to wait until the wedding to see each other again!"
Jiang Yu couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this. When did this girl become so superstitious that she actually cared about these things.
"I don't care about these rules. I want to see you."
Jiang Yu's words actually sounded like a domineering CEO. Su Wan was stunned for a moment and thought, is Mustard handsome?
As a result, while she was still in a daze, a big hand grabbed the back of her head. The familiar scent had already enveloped her, and the lips felt warm and soft.
Jiang Yu's kiss was very gentle and long.
After a long time, he left her lips, and the corners of Su Wan's eyes turned red. Her lips were also watery and swollen from being sucked, making her look even more attractive.
The swing now has a backrest to prevent her from accidentally falling.
The two of them sat quietly together on the swing, swinging gently, with the evening breeze blowing.
The closer it got to the wedding date, the more Jiang Yu felt that everything was unreal. If it weren't for the real existence of the people around him, he would almost think he was having a beautiful dream.
What should I do if I wake up from the dream?
He suddenly raised his hand, and the peculiarly shaped gold ring was still on his hand, as if it was tailor-made for him.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was to protect him from disaster, a corner would have been missing.
But it's no big deal, it has long replaced the original jade ring and become a part of his body.
Su Wan leaned against him. Perhaps it was too quiet and she gradually felt sleepy. She closed her eyes without any scruples. When she opened them again, it was already the next morning.
This sleep was so comfortable, I had no dreams all night and felt refreshed.
It was as if meeting Jiang Yu last night was just a dream.
…
On the eighth day of September, many guests came to the Su Mansion. Many unmarried daughters of wealthy families came on their own to accompany Su Wan, and Jia Jia also came.
They will stay until tomorrow, until Su Wan is married.
Today is her daughter's wedding banquet, and the house is very lively. The girls are all staying in her yard to chat with her.
It is always lively when girls get together. Everyone chatters about clothes, jewelry, rouge and other things that girls like.
Sure enough, no matter what time it is, girls are only interested in clothes, shoes and cosmetics.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and shopping is not a disease at all for girls.
It is rare to see the ladies being so friendly. The reason is simple: in the past, they loved to argue because they had something to compete for, so everyone liked to bicker and play dirty.
But now, all the high-quality men in Kyoto are already taken. For example, several princes have been crowned kings and have princesses and concubines. Jiang Yu and Su Wan are now a couple, so there is nothing to fight over.
Anyway, from now on, everyone will be a good girl, each betrothed to a man, and no one will get close to anyone else, so naturally, everyone will get along well.
Jiacheng had sent the kittens over a few days ago. Su Wan built a temporary nest for them and asked the secret guard to notify Jiang Yu to provide a comfortable nest for her two cats in the Duke's Mansion.
Jiang Yu received the news and immediately asked someone to clear out a room in his yard. He also asked Princess Jiacheng for advice on how to arrange the cat's room, what it usually eats, and how many people should be assigned to clean it.
Jiacheng told his people everything he knew, and Jiang Yu arranged everything according to the highest standards, waiting for the cat master to move in.
Once Jiang Yu falls in love with someone and cares about him, he will respond to everything and have a solution for everything.
The day before the wedding, the Su Mansion was bustling with activity, and the Duke's Mansion was also decorated with lights and colorful decorations, with red silk and double happiness symbols everywhere.
A row of red lanterns were hung up, and even the trees were tied with red silk.
The Duke was idle at home, so he spent the whole day with the housekeeper studying the layout of the mansion.
There hasn't been a happy event in the mansion for many years. This time we should make it lively and add some joy and popularity. Otherwise, this huge house will look rather deserted.
Everyone in the mansion was busy, except for the Rose Courtyard, which was deserted. When Jiang Zhen came to the mansion, Ning Wei didn't dare to go out for a walk. She only came out to get some fresh air when it was dark at night, and she was afraid of running into Jiang Zhen.
This is what it means to have done nothing wrong and not be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. She has something to hide, so she is so scared.
Jiang Yan goes out early and comes back late every day, still living a life of playing with cats and dogs, and spending money on wine and women. He has not changed at all in the three years in the military camp, but he probably won't learn anything in the cook camp.
Sometimes when he saw Jiang Zhen, he would greet him politely and then keep his distance.
Every time Jiang Zhen saw him greet him, he would respond coldly. After all, the harm would not affect the innocent child, who was still young at the time.
After Ning Wei stopped taking care of the household, a lot of household expenses were saved, and the housekeeper managed the Duke's Mansion in an orderly manner.
Jiang Yu's wedding room has also been decorated. It is all festive red, and maids are coming in and out to decorate it.
There are many hibiscus flowers planted in the yard. In early September, the hibiscus is in full bloom, and the yard is filled with the fragrance of hibiscus.
In the evening, Fengying brought Qiu Niang, who was pregnant, to the Duke's Mansion. The young master was immediately overjoyed and he had to watch it with his own eyes.
