But after seeing Yun Wanwan's wedding dress, all these became unimportant, and they all praised Yun Wanwan's wedding dress and new makeup.
"Miss Yun's craftsmanship is truly excellent. The embroidery on this wedding dress is truly lifelike. The phoenix and dragon on it look as if they are coming to life."
Another young lady continued, "Yes, but unfortunately I'm clumsy. I'm afraid the wedding dress I embroider will be shattered by myself. It will definitely not be one ten-thousandth as beautiful as Miss Lian Yun's."
Before a woman gets married, there is a custom in Beichen: the bride's wedding dress must be embroidered by herself. A wedding dress is the beginning of a woman's new life, so women in Beichen will start preparing their wedding dresses after their coming-of-age ceremony.
Yun Wanwan was clumsy, not only did she know nothing about embroidery, she couldn't even thread a needle. Furthermore, her wedding date and engagement with Rong Chengxuan were both set suddenly.
Even if Yun Wanwan grew three heads and six arms, it would be impossible for her to make an exquisite wedding dress within a month.
Fortunately, Rong Chengxuan had made preparations in advance. Before confirming it with Yun Wanwan, he had already found the best embroiderers in the capital to work hard to make this wedding dress for Yun Wanwan.
Yun Wanwan wouldn't take credit for someone else's work for nothing. She simply smiled and explained, "Rong Chengxuan had someone make this wedding dress. I didn't make it myself."
…
After learning that Yun Wanwan's makeup was done by Madam Su, the remaining envy turned to jealousy. That was Madam Su, the one every woman in the capital wanted to invite to her wedding! Since Yun Wanwan's makeup was done by her, she naturally outshined them all.
Soon after Yun Wanwan finished talking to the women who came to add to her makeup, the auspicious time arrived, and the carriages and horses coming from Prince An's Mansion to welcome the bride had arrived at the gate of Yun Wanwan's house.
Nanny Su and Madam Su came in. Madam Su finally covered Yun Wanwan with the veil. Yun Wanwan was supported by the two of them on both hands and slowly walked out.
The entrance to Yun Wanwan's house was incredibly bustling today. The streets were completely empty from outside the capital, some simply to see Rong Chengxuan marry, while others were simply customers who had their fortunes read at Yun Wanwan's shop. The entrance to Yun Wanwan's house was completely packed, with people inside and outside, unable to get through. The people were buzzing with discussion.
"The eldest daughter of the Yun family is getting married today with great fanfare. Look at the carriages and horses outside. They are not something that ordinary people like us can see or afford."
"I wonder if Madam Yun and General Yun are regretting their actions now. If they had known that the eldest daughter of the Yun family was so lucky, would they still treat her the same way as before?"
The story of Yun Wanwan being abandoned by Gu Pingge and General Yun at a young age had long since spread throughout the capital. If Yun Wanwan hadn't been around before, treating Yun Yaoyao like a treasure wouldn't have been condemnable. But after Yun Wanwan was brought back, still treating her like a treasure was almost unbelievable.
"Why are you mentioning Madam Yun and General Yun on such a happy day? Didn't you see that none of the people from the General's Mansion showed up today? I'm afraid even if they knew Miss Yun was so lucky, they would still treat her like this. You don't know, Miss Yun's mother, she has a very thick skin..."
The news that Gu Pingge shamelessly pleaded with Yun Wanwan, asking her to save Yun Yaoyao for the sake of their mother-daughter relationship and her younger sister, had spread as early as the day Gu Pingge left the palace.
There are very few people in the world who can be a mother as accomplished as Gu Pingge. Fortunately, Miss Yun is also a blessed person. After marrying Rong Chengxuan, regardless of anything else, at least she will definitely have wealth and glory.
"If you ask me, Prince An really cares about Miss Yun. Look at the ceremony today. How many families in Beichen can afford such a grand ceremony for their daughter-in-law's wedding?"
"When you see the reward sachet is filled with small change, not copper coins like other nobles, you know this wedding gift is unusual."
"This silver coin also has a good omen. There are ten silver coins in this sachet, which means that Prince An and Princess An's life will be perfect."
Another person interrupted, "How could it not be grand? Not to mention the already magnificent Prince An's Mansion, plus Prince An's attitude towards Princess An. He personally went to the Emperor and begged for her, so she's undoubtedly a woman he holds dear to his heart."
"Plus, getting married is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so Prince An will definitely give the princess the best experience. From what I can see, the ceremony will be even more spectacular than when the emperor married the queen."
"Hush, don't say that carelessly. The Emperor's frugality is well known, and your majesty's wedding was no less impressive than Prince An's. You should think carefully before you speak, and don't just blindly spread your words." The middle-aged woman said, "I heard that Prince An sent a betrothal gift of ninety-nine sets, saying it symbolizes a long and lasting relationship with the princess. I don't know if that's true or not."
"Since it's been heard, it must be true. Think about it. When has Prince An's rumor not come true? Plus, the princess seems to have nothing to do with the Yun Mansion anymore. This betrothal gift is only given to the princess, and in the end, it will be carried back to the Prince An Mansion along with the princess's dowry. In the end, Prince An still did not lose anything."
As soon as the words fell, someone pointed in a certain direction and said excitedly, "Hey, hey, hey, look, it's coming! It's coming! It's coming! The betrothal gifts from Prince An's Mansion have arrived!"
On the day of Beichen's wedding, there was a strange custom. It was said that on the wedding day, the groom's family had to find someone to carry the betrothal gifts to the bride's family one by one so that the onlookers could see them clearly.
The more betrothal gifts a woman receives, the more prestigious she is. This also indirectly reflects how much the man's family values her. If a woman receives more betrothal gifts, it means she will have a higher status in her husband's family.
However, some people, in order to save face, would fill empty boxes with wood, stones and other things to show off their face.
However, this situation will definitely not happen today, because the boxes of betrothal gifts are all wide open, allowing people to see the contents clearly.
Antiques, ancient paintings, jades, precious blue and white porcelain, real gold and silver, and countless other treasures from all over the world were all in those boxes, and were now being carried into Yun Wanwan's house bit by bit.
