Just based on the date Wang Fengqiao mentioned, Feng Qingxue understood Lu Jiang's thoughts.
"Then let's set it for the 28th. I have to prepare too." Lu Jiang was sure that he would choose a bad day. Choosing the former would make him seem anxious and lose his status, while choosing the latter would make them afraid that Lu Jiang would not be well taken care of. So they deliberately chose June 26th and July 8th.
"Okay, I'll reply to the Lu family right away, and it's set for June 28th!" Wang Fengqiao clapped her hands and smiled, "During these ten days, you don't have to go out to work, just stay at home and take care of yourself. You have money and notes in your hand. I know they were given to you by Lu Jiang, so what? Take the money and notes to the city to buy yourself some suitable dowry, and it would be best if you can bring back some cotton. I have two pieces of good silk in my hand, which were given to me by Lu Jiang's grandmother when I got married. I will go back and find someone who is full of luck to make you a new quilt and a jacket for your treasure."
Wang Zhengguo gave Feng Qingxue two large vermilion lacquered boxes, a basin rack and a toilet.
Because the Lu family had already prepared the furniture, he only prepared these few things for his niece when he was preparing the dowry for his daughter. He decided to give her some gold and silver as a dowry when he came to add to her dowry on the eve of her wedding, which would also look very nice.
The meat in the bun is not in the folds.
Feng Qingxue went to the city and brought back a large bundle of cotton quilts and a bundle of cloth, which were actually in the space.
Aunt Feng took out the quilt covers and quilt linings she had prepared, as well as the silk sent by Wang Fengqiao, and asked her daughter-in-law and the well-off people in the neighborhood to help make quilts, clothes, shoes and socks.
Only a woman who has both parents, living parents-in-law, brothers and sisters, a son and no one who died young can be called a blessed person.
The wedding quilt, the jacket and shoes for treasures, the clothes to be worn at the wedding, and the shoes to be worn when returning to the parents’ home.
It’s enough to keep a group of Quanfu people busy for several days.
Nowadays, ordinary people live in poverty, and many young men and women just wear old clothes or borrowed clothes without patches. After getting notarized by an elderly person, they roll up their bedding and live together, and they are considered married.
There is no betrothal gift or dowry, and at most some daily necessities given by relatives and friends.
In fact, it’s not that there is no betrothal gift. Many families use grain as betrothal gift. A hundred kilograms of coarse grains are enough to marry a virgin girl.
Lu Jiang is a soldier and has no shortage of money. Feng Qingxue received many wedding gifts from others, and her uncle and aunt are not stingy, so everyone in the Feng family wants to marry their daughter off in a grand manner and they help with all their might.
Marriage is the most important moment in one's life, Feng Qingxue takes it very seriously.
She went to the city again and bought herself a pair of Lan Tang leather shoes, a pair of three-joint leather shoes for Lu Jiang, two thick square scarves, one red and one blue, and a bright red gauze scarf with gold and silver threads crisscrossing on it, which looked very elegant.
When they came out, they ran into Aunt Xu. Seeing what Feng Qingxue was holding, Aunt Xu knew that she was getting married. She couldn't help but complain, "Look at you, girl. It's bad enough that we haven't heard from you for a few months, but you didn't even tell us that you were getting married soon. Although your uncle and I can't attend your wedding, we should give you some dowry because we have received so much kindness from you!"
After saying that, he asked Feng Qingxue to find a deserted place to wait for him, and then ran away.
When she came back more than half an hour later, Aunt Xu secretly stuffed a small cloth bag into her hand and said, "Now that you're married, live a good life. The busy farming season has just passed, so the food supply is sufficient. You don't need to worry about us!"
