Chapter 1334: Final - Ending Seven
Just after the beginning of spring, the temperature had not changed much compared to the cold winter of the twelfth month. On this day, the Mo Family home was filled with guests. People wrapped in thick cotton-padded jackets huddled around the warm braziers with festive joy on their faces, animatedly discussing the grand wedding.
"I originally thought that when Mr. Mo married off his daughter, the affair was grand enough, but this time it’s not much different! And this is for a wedding, not marrying a bride into the family. Just look, how many high-ranking officials have come to offer their congratulations?"
"Isn’t that true! But, Yan girl is a County Lord, and she’s marrying General Xiao who has the Emperor’s favor, so it’s normal for these high officials to come and congratulate," someone replied.
"For a girl to reach this status, it’s like she hasn’t come to this world in vain! Look, yesterday, when they sent out the dowry, there were altogether one hundred and eighty loads, and the poles carrying the dowry were bent from the weight. Tsk tsk!"
"The dowry provided by the Mo Family isn’t considered much, right? When General Xiao sent the betrothal gifts, there were one hundred and fifty loads. Mr. Mo returned all of that to Yan girl, and even added thirty more loads. If it weren’t for fear that exceeding this amount would bring trouble, I reckon the Mo Family could have provided three hundred loads," another chimed in.
Mentioning Mo Yan’s dowry brought interest in the discussion, with everyone speculating what wonderful things might be included in the dowry. Even more were curious about how much silver the Mo Family actually provided Mo Yan as part of her dowry this time.
However, after much guessing, none of the answers given gained everyone’s consensus, until someone finally said, "No matter how much dowry or silver was given, the important thing is we’ve witnessed this grandeur. It’s probably the last time we’ll ever see it..."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. In their lifetimes, it was unlikely that Liu Yang Village would see another County Lord, let alone another General’s Wife or Lady Marquis. Such grand occasions were not expected to be seen again, were they?
Mo Yan, sitting in her room waiting for Xiao Ruiyuan to come and escort her, naturally knew nothing about these discussions outside.
