Chapter 1597: Chapter 1597: Shuyouâs Wedding Gift
Today, the Lu family was exceptionally bustling. Madam Li was determined to make Lanhuaâs marriage as grand and festive as possible, so she invited seven or eight tables of guests on the day of the dowry ceremony.
Fortunately, the main house of the Lu family has been renovated, and the courtyard is spacious enough. Otherwise, this display would have to extend outside.
Shu Yu descended from the carriage and stepped through the gate, greeted by a sea of faces. Many villagers who werenât invited to the wedding feast had nonetheless come to join in the festivities.
Upon seeing her, the crowd immediately cleared a path and greeted her.
On such a joyous day, although Shu Yu found it hard to walk, she patiently answered the questions of everyone, whether familiar or not, maintaining a harmonious atmosphere.
Finally making her way to the living room entrance, her back was drenched in sweat. Despite the dayâs cool weather, she felt none of it.
First, she went to find the old lady, who was in Lanhuaâs bedroom, conversing with the gathered relatives and discussing the things still needed for preparation.
Later, the groomâs men would come to carry the dowry over, and after lunch, the dowry would be taken to the groomâs home.
The old lady was currently completing final checks to ensure nothing was missing.
Lanhuaâs bedroom was also filled with people, mostly girls and women. Lanhua sat obediently on the bed, listening quietly and shyly to the old lady.
Someone suddenly announced, âMonarch Lu Xiang is here.â
Everyone in the room turned their heads abruptly, looking over.
The old ladyâs smile brightened, raising her hand to say, âWe were just saying it was about time for you to arrive.â
Shu Yu entered the room and was pulled by the old lady to sit next to Lanhua.
She exhaled a breath silently, prompting amusement from the old lady, who quickly had someone prepare sweet water for her to drink.
As soon as Shu Yu finished drinking, people began to interact with her.
Especially the raffle event she held when opening her shop in the prefecture, which had become quite the talk even in Shangshi Village.
That unprecedented raffle was truly a first, and everyone was very intrigued by it.
With Shu Yu here on another happy occasion, no one worried about bothering her, and everyone eagerly listened to the story like entertainment.
However, Shu Yu didnât say much; she wasnât the main character today. After providing a brief introduction, she interrupted further questioning with a smile, saying, âAlright, we can talk about this later. Soon the men carrying the dowry will arrive, and I havenât added my gift yet.â
Add to the dowryâŠ
This piqued everyoneâs interest, and they asked enthusiastically, âWhat gift is Monarch Lu Xiang giving for the dowry?â
Shu Yu took a large box from Ying Xi and another smaller box, handing them to Lanhua together.
âThis is my sisterâs addition, she couldnât come, so she asked me to bring it. And this oneâs from me, do you want to open it?â
Lanhuaâs eyes lit up slightly, carefully opening the smaller box first.
The box contained a pair of White Jade Mandarin Duck Brooches and a pair of pearl earrings. They werenât very large, but extremely delicate and beautiful.
Those standing nearby couldnât help but exclaim, âSo beautiful.â
Lanhua was pleasantly surprised, âIs this⊠from Sister Ah You?â
âYes, sheâs regretted not being able to attend your wedding; she prepared this long ago,â Shu Yu said with a smile. âI, being straightforward, didnât know what good to send that could match my sisterâs charming and novel gift, so I just brought you something handy.â
