We'll just do our usual dowry then. As each family's children get married one after another, we'll all need to give them something in return.
Mu Yi'an and Jiang Shuyun thought about the unavoidable monthly gift money in modern times.

A few days ago, Mu Yi'an saw a nice set of jewelry and decided to buy it for herself and Chu Yue.
The first month's can be saved to accumulate dowry, while hers can be kept to appreciate slowly in the future.
I wonder how Mu Yang and Mu Lin are doing with their preparations, and whether they'll pass the county exam? And what about Zi Yi? The autumn exam is in August; will he pass this year?
