On the twenty-first of September of the Qingguan sixth year, Yong'an Marquis Manor in the Capital City bustled with activity. Chu Hanyan, eldest daughter of the house, was to be married to the He Royal Mansion on the fourth day of the tenth lunar month, and the He Royal Mansion's betrothal gifts had been sent to the manor the day before.
On this day, Mrs. Hou, Chen Afu, finally finished preparing Chu Hanyan's dowry, which relieved her considerably.
