Chapter 1597 Shu You's Dowry Gift
The Lu family was unusually lively today. Madam Li was determined to make Lan Hua's marriage a grand and successful affair, so she invited seven or eight tables of guests on the day the dowry was delivered.
Fortunately, the main house of the Lu family has been renovated and the courtyard is large enough, otherwise this grand display would have to be carried out outside.
Shu Yu stepped down from the carriage and entered the gate, only to find it packed with people. Many villagers who weren't there for the wedding banquet had come to join the fun.
When people around her saw her, they immediately made way for her and greeted her.
On this joyous day, although Shuyu found it difficult to walk, she patiently answered everyone's questions, whether she knew them or not, and everything was very harmonious.
She finally reached the entrance to the main room, her back covered in sweat. Despite the cool weather, she felt nothing at all.
She went to find the old lady first, who was in Lan Hua's boudoir, talking to the relatives who had come over and discussing the things that still needed to be prepared.
Later, the groom's family will come to carry the dowry. After lunch, the dowry will be carried to the groom's house.
The old lady is now doing the final calculations to make sure nothing is missing.
Orchid's boudoir was also full of people, mostly young women and married women. Orchid sat obediently on the bed, listening quietly and shyly to the old lady's words.
Someone shouted, "Lu Xiangjun is here!"
The people inside the room suddenly turned their heads and looked over.
The old lady smiled broadly and raised her hand, saying, "We were just saying that you should be arriving around this time."
Shu Yu entered the house and was pulled by the old lady to sit down next to the orchids.
She silently exhaled, and the old lady was amused by this, so she quickly had someone make her some sugar water.
As soon as Shu Yu finished drinking, the people next to her started talking to her.
In particular, the lottery she held when she opened her shop in the prefectural city that day has already spread to Shangshi Village after so many days.
That kind of sensational lottery was truly unprecedented, and everyone was incredibly curious.
With Shu Yu present, and it being a joyous occasion, they didn't find the girls bothersome. Instead, they listened to the story with great interest, one by one.
But Shu Yu didn't say much, since she wasn't the main character today. So after a brief introduction, she interrupted everyone's questions and said with a smile, "Alright, we'll talk about these things later. The people carrying the dowry should be here soon, and I haven't finished adding the dowry yet."
Adding makeup...
This big guy was also very interested and immediately asked with great enthusiasm, "What dowry did Lord Lu give?"
Shu Yu took a large box from Ying Xi and then a small box, handing them both to Lan Hua.
"This is part of my sister's dowry. She couldn't come over, so she asked me to bring it. This is mine, would you like to open it and take a look?"
Lan Hua's eyes lit up slightly, and she carefully opened the small box first.
Inside the box were a pair of white jade mandarin duck buckles and a pair of pearl earrings. The items were not very large, but they were very exquisite and beautiful.
Those standing nearby couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "So beautiful!"
Lan Hua was overjoyed, "This is... a gift from Sister Ayou?"
"Yes, it's a pity she can't come to your wedding. She prepared the gifts a long time ago," Shu Yu said with a smile. "As for me, I'm just an ordinary person. I don't know what to give. I'm not as clever as my sister's dowry, and I'm not original either. I can only give you something to keep you safe."
