"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, what are you talking about hiding there? The Zhou family is about to arrive."
Jiang Da Sao was dressed very formally today, wearing a newly made dress, her hair was combed shiny, and she even wore two silver hairpins.
"It hasn't arrived yet, sister-in-law, you're really impatient."
Li Qiuniang really disliked Jiang Dasao's behavior; what was the point of her being so eager?
"They're here! They're here! The Zhou family's betrothal delegation has arrived!"
Jiang's sister-in-law swallowed her words at the shout, and ignoring her two sisters-in-law, she went to the door to greet the Zhou family.

The two sides exchanged polite greetings and complimented each other's children. Before long, the Jiang family's banquet was ready, and both sides began to take their seats.
After the meal, the Zhou family went home, and relatives from the Jiang family helped clean up the courtyard. The chefs who had served the food received their payment and left.
The betrothal gifts have also been put away; these are to be included in Jiang Lan's dowry and taken back with her.
When Mu Yi'an got home, she was so tired that her back ached. It was really hard work.
