Chapter 196 - 0196 Preparing the Dowry 4_1
"Alright, I’ll let the Lu Family know it’s going to be on June 28th!" Wang Fengqiao clapped delightfully. "You should take advantage of the next ten days and stop working. Instead, you should rest at home. I know Lu Jiang gave you money and gifts. So what? Use the money to buy some suitable dowry in the city, and, if you can, get some cotton. I have two pieces of fine silk, a gift from Lu Jiang’s grandmother when I married. I could find someone to make a new quilt and a new dowry coat for you."
Wang Zhengguo gifted Feng Qingxue two large lacquer boxes, a washbasin stand, and a chamber pot.
Since the Lu Family had prepared furniture, when it was time for his daughter’s wedding, he decided to add some more stuff to her dowry. On the eve of her wedding, he would also give her some gold and silver as dowry, a pleasing sight indeed.
The meat in a bun is not visible through its folds.
Feng Qingxue made a trip to town, bringing back bundles of cotton quilts and cloth. In fact, she took them from her own storage space.
Feng Qingxue’s aunt brought out her prepared quilt tops, quilt fillings, and Wang Fengqiao’s given silk. She asked her daughter-in-law and the lucky women in the neighborhood for help in making quilts, clothes, and socks.
Only women who have both parents alive, healthy in-laws, siblings, sons who had not died prematurely were considered lucky ones.
