No one knew which young man could marry the beautiful young lady of the Wen family, so many people went to watch the fun.
There were two carriages in total, and they stopped in front of the Wen family's gate after a while.
Magistrate Wen and his wife, along with their two children and several servants, were already standing at the door of their house to welcome the Xu family.
The old man was the first to get off the carriage, and Magistrate Wen immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, old man. You came all the way here in person. I'm sorry for the trouble you took."
The old man immediately smiled and said, "What are you talking about? How could I not come on such an important day?"
Seeing this, Matchmaker Bao knew that the two families were close, so she said with a happy face, "Master Wen, today I have the honor of being a witness to the match made in heaven between Miss Wen and Mr. Xu. This is the blessing I have cultivated for three lifetimes!"
Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "Matchmaker Bao is too polite. Everyone, please stop standing at the door and talking. There are so many people watching us!"
Zhang smiled and said, "Madam Wen, today I'm here to propose marriage to Wenwu. How can the betrothal gift be small?"
Yueyang was very tactful and started to take out the prepared betrothal gifts from the carriage. Yuexiao and Yuexue also hurried to help.
Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "Our two families are already acquaintances. I am also satisfied with Wenwu. It's just a formality."
The servants of the Wen family also hurried forward to help. Each of them held a mahogany wooden box tied with red silk in their hands and moved it towards the living room of the Wen Mansion.
Zhang smiled and said, "Madam Wen, you know Huamen Town isn't very big, and there aren't many good things. We asked Young Master Su and his men to find people from the capital to prepare these things. Time is a bit tight, so please forgive us if there are any shortcomings."
Madam Wen took Zhang's hand and said, "What are you talking about? After today, we are considered relatives. There is no need to be so formal as you say."
Wendie got up early today and dressed up nicely.
Seeing that the Xu family was so attentive to her and even specially selected a betrothal gift from the capital for her in such a short time, she felt both touched and sweet.
After all the things were moved into the Wen family's house, everyone went in and sat down.
The maids and servants of the Wen Mansion were running around happily, serving tea and snacks, and they were very busy. Today was a happy event for their Wen Mansion, and they, the servants, would surely be able to share in the glory.
Yueyang and the other two opened the boxes containing the betrothal gifts one by one and showed them to the Wen family.
"This headdress is so beautiful!"
"Yes! Look at that ornament of a pair of mandarin ducks embracing each other, adorned with jade of various colors. It's so exquisite! You can tell it's worth a lot of money!"
"And that pair of white jade bottles, so beautiful!"
"Look at that cloth, the pattern is so beautiful, it seems to be shining. It will look great on the young lady!"
The servants of the Wen Mansion also joined in the fun, looking at the betrothal gifts and discussing them, their faces filled with excitement.
Mrs. Wen smiled. Since today was a good day for the family, it would be more lively if these servants joined in the fun, so she did not send them away.
"Wow! What kind of jewelry is that! So beautiful!"
A maid among the servants screamed in surprise, and only after she finished speaking did she realize that her voice was a little loud, so she lowered her head and covered her mouth.
"Miss! Look!" Yuan'er exclaimed.
Wen Die was already embarrassed and kept her head down. When she heard the maid and Yuan'er's exclamations, she raised her head curiously and looked in the direction of Yuan'er's finger.
Suddenly, I couldn't take my eyes off it and couldn't help but walk forward.
A ray of sunlight hits this diamond headpiece, and the butterfly wings are filled with colorful halos, which is magnificent.
Wendie reached out and touched the butterfly on the hairpin, muttering, "How beautiful!"
Xu Wenwu walked forward and said with a smile, "Do you like it?"
Wendie nodded immediately, then realized her action and her face flushed red. She felt that she had made a big fool of herself this time. She had lost control in front of her future in-laws. Would they think that she was a little vain?
Zhang saw Wendie's embarrassed look and immediately came to her rescue with a smile, "Die'er, what girl doesn't love beauty? The first time I saw this headdress, I was even more frightened than you!"
Mrs. Wen looked at the diamond headpiece and could hardly hide her admiration. She said, "This is the first time I've seen such a crystal-clear gem! It even emits a rainbow of colors. It's truly beautiful. It must be worth a lot of money, right?"
Wang said, "Die'er's mother, to be honest, this diamond headpiece was made by Qibao herself. She said she wanted it as a betrothal gift for her future sister-in-law. It's clear she really likes Die'er. Diamond jewelry like this isn't available anywhere else these days, so this is the only one of its kind."
Madam Wen said, "I'm so sorry that Qibao took so much trouble. I didn't expect this girl to be so skillful. This butterfly is so beautiful, and it really fits the name Die'er."
Zhang said, "Qibao came up with the idea of making it in the shape of a butterfly because Die'er's name contains the character 'butterfly'."
Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "Die'er, did you hear that? This is a token of your future little mustache's love. When you marry into the Wen family, you must treat Qibao well and care for her like your own sister. Do you understand?"
Wendie nodded with a blushing face, and was very grateful to Qibao in her heart.
The old man smiled and said, "Master Wen, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, just tell me and I will do it immediately until you are satisfied."
Prefect Wen waved his hand and said, "I am satisfied, very satisfied. Madam, why don't you take out the marriage certificate so that the in-laws can be reassured."
