The two old men happily counted the betrothal gifts, and after confirming that everything was correct, they wrote Li Xiyue's name and birth date on the marriage certificate.
With such a generous gift from the Chu family, what else could they say? They were 100% satisfied with this marriage.
Everyone applauded and cheered.
Chu Xun had prepared wedding candies well in advance and distributed them to everyone and the neighbors who were watching.
The neighbors ate the candy, their mouths sweet, and they spoke auspicious words as if they were free.
The next day, Chu Xun took Li Xiyue to a tailor's house to try on her wedding dress.
Chu Xun went to great lengths to persuade her to make wedding clothes for them.
The old tailor surnamed Yu was aloof and rarely made clothes for others. He didn't care about the person's status or the payment; he only cared about whether the clothes suited his taste.
Every couple who comes to her for wedding attire must pass her test before she will agree to have them made.
She has already made wedding dresses for ninety-nine couples, and Chu Xun and Li Xiyue are exactly one hundred.
After finishing with that couple, she retired.
Chu Xun had made the reservation in advance; the wedding dress was already prepared, and now it was just a matter of checking if it fit. If it didn't fit, there would be time to make alterations.
She made a bright red wedding dress, long-sleeved, thick and warm, with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns on it, which were embroidered stitch by stitch by the old woman.
Li Xiyue had never seen such beautiful clothes before. She stroked the delicate stitches and patterns on them, and couldn't put them down.
"Do you like it?" Chu Xun asked softly.
Li Xiyue nodded. "Ah Xun, so beautiful."
"Go and try it on," Chu Xun said with a smile.
When Li Xiyue entered the fitting room and came out, she was absolutely stunning.
Chu Xun was stunned and speechless for a long time.
The white-haired old tailor next to him adjusted his glasses and praised, "In all my years as a tailor, this is the first time I've met such a beautiful bride. Young man, you are truly blessed."
"Thank you, Master Yu," Li Xiyue replied with a smile, "It's all thanks to your excellent workmanship."
Chu Xun walked to Li Xiyue's side, took her hand, and said gratefully to the old man, "Master Yu, thank you, you've worked hard."
"It's not hard work," Master Yu said with a smile and a shake of his head.
As an artisan, the happiest thing is to create works that satisfy both the customer and oneself.
Before leaving, Master Yu held Li Xiyue's hand and said with a smile, "Child, your boyfriend really loves you. He went to great lengths to make this wedding dress for you."
For her final project, she set much stricter requirements than before, but the young man withstood the tests.
His love for his future daughter-in-law is absolutely unwavering.
She was very optimistic about their marriage.
Li Xiyue smiled as she looked at Chu Xun, her heart filled with sweetness and warmth. The box she held in her hands contained not only her wedding dress, but also Chu Xun's deep love for her.
She saw and remembered everything Chu Xun did for her, and she would cherish it dearly.
The old man continued, "It's easy for a couple to fall in love, but difficult to stay together. A good marriage also requires careful management. I hope you can build the happiest and most fulfilling marriage in the world."
"Master Yu, thank you."
Over the next few days, Li Xiyue watched her grandfather go in and out preparing her dowry.
My grandfather said that since the Chu family's dowry was generous, their dowry couldn't be too inferior, lest they be looked down upon.
