Chapter 211 Which woman doesn't like to be coquettish?
"Have all the things in the county been arranged?" Sun asked, looking at the dusty butler.
"Madam, everything is ready." The butler bowed.
"Have you prepared the Lin family's gift for meeting you?"
"Everything is fine."
"We must have enough manpower. You go over and keep an eye on it tomorrow. Nothing can go wrong." Sun was worried about the others.
"Yes, I will leave tomorrow morning." He touched his butt secretly. He was almost tired from running back and forth these days.
The banquet at the Marquis' Mansion was in the charge of the housekeeper, and she was also in charge, and everything was well prepared.
"My lord, let's set off the day after tomorrow. The earlier we arrive, the more time we can remedy any missing items." She wouldn't feel at ease unless she saw it with her own eyes.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Xiao Zhen had no objection.
After arriving at the county town, he immediately met with Lin Dashan to exchange information prepared by all parties and to find out what was missing.
........................
Before dawn, Xiao Ran got up, bathed, and changed his clothes. Xiaomi's dowry would be delivered today, and he would go to the city gate to greet her. Xiaomi's relatives would also come to recognize her today.
Served by the servants, he looked particularly energetic in his red clothes.
"My Lord, there is no groom more handsome than you in the whole capital!" The servant carefully arranged his wedding clothes and exclaimed in admiration.
"Dad, is mom awake yet?"
"My Lord, the Marquis and his wife have been busy since before dawn."
His parents have been working very hard these days for his marriage.
"Father and mother, your son greets you!"
Looking at her handsome and elegant son, Sun felt a little proud. Her son was the best!
"Get up quickly, is everything ready?"
"All right."
"Then go out early. I'm afraid the road will be difficult to travel on. Don't delay the auspicious time."
Xiao Ran thought of the last time he went to betrothal, and then thought of the deafening sound of the band, and he felt sick. Today, there won't be more people following than last time, right?
"Go get me some cotton to plug my ears."
Servant: ... "Yes!"
"Dad, Mom, your son is going to get the dowry!" He bowed deeply to the couple.
"Go."
Xiao Zhen sent two housekeepers to follow him along the way. He felt more at ease with them around.
Xiao Ran, along with a group of Xiao clan members, got on a horse-drawn carriage, followed by a musical band, and went out in a grand procession to receive the dowry.
Xiaomi also got up early. Today, all the relatives would come to deliver the dowry and recognize the relatives. Last night, my uncle's family and my grandmother's family had already come.
The same lady who put makeup on her today was still the one who did it last time. After two years, Xiaomi's identity has changed. The lady put more effort into dressing up the mother and daughter.
After that, she put makeup on the women of the other two families. Because they were going to meet the man's family today, everyone wore new clothes that had been prepared in advance. Except for the heavy frost on her face, her temperament was not as good, and she looked a little unnatural, Lin Xiaomi was quite satisfied with everything else.
"I've never worn such nice clothes. I can't even walk now!" Old Wang didn't know where to put her hands. She felt very uncomfortable.
"Granny looks refreshed when she wears this. She should wear it more often in the future!"
"You're just a sweet-mouthed person!"
Wang looked Lin Xiaomi up and down, smiled and took Xiaomi's hand, looking at her carefully, her eyes full of amazement, "My eldest granddaughter is so beautiful today!" Lin Xiaomi lowered her head shyly.
While they were still chatting, relatives from the village came. They were curious about how much dowry Lin Dashan gave to Xiaomi. Old Man Lin had come to visit several times before, but he couldn't get the answer.
He was also excited because he was going to meet the old marquis today. He and his wife were so excited that they did not sleep all night last night.
Xiaomi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone was wearing new clothes, the worst of which were made of pure cotton. Fortunately, they were not stupid. She was really afraid that they would go to recognize their relatives wrapped in sackcloth and embarrass her.
When Old Li saw Old Wang with powder and lipstick on her face, she cursed in her heart: What an old slut, she is so shameless to dress like this at her age.
"Grandma, it's still early. I've found a few ladies to help everyone dress up."
All the women's eyes lit up. They had just seen that everyone had put on makeup. It would be a lie to say they were not envious.
Old Li was also tempted. The last time she put on makeup was when she married the old man. Which woman doesn't like to be coquettish? It's just that she suppresses herself desperately for a living.
So, without even looking at the dowry, she lined up in the room prepared by Lin Xiaomi and waited for her makeup.
Lin Wanxiu loved to look pretty more than anyone else, so she didn't want to miss it. Before anyone else could react, she rushed into the house first and was the first to sit down and put on makeup.
Mrs. Song felt very uncomfortable when she saw her daughter's anxious look. If she married into a good family, her daughter would be able to put on makeup and wear new clothes every day.
Old Mrs. Li was trying to save face, so she moved forward slowly, looking very reluctant.
Taohong was a very good person, and she said enthusiastically, "Grandma, please come over here. You are old, and standing for too long is tiring."
Old Mrs. Li felt as comfortable as drinking a bowl of well water in summer. She walked forward slowly and cut in line: "I know you are filial!"
Taohong consciously stood in the position that Old Li had originally been in. Yang looked at her flattering daughter and laughed in anger. Damn girl, didn't she see her mother was also standing in line behind her? What a blind thing, who is she close to?
