Jinghan changed into a red dress and sat on the bed in the elderly lady's room. Today, the family relatives were coming to contribute to her dowry, and even if it were to be a modest affair, some traditions simply could not be overlooked.
Because the marriage arrangements were so rushed, it was only the families of Zhide, Qingnian, and those from the Yue family and Sun family who came. Mrs. Chen's natal family hadn't been notified, so they were unaware. However, Mrs. Han's brother and sister-in-law did come, which surprised everyone in the Xu family, although they were of course welcomed.
The dowry was comprised mostly of head ornaments and jewelry. Huixin kept saying that she never expected Jinghan to get married so soon, and had not been able to prepare better gifts, so she could only give a pair of jade bracelets. "Jinghan, your auntie isn't playing favorites, it's just that there wasn't enough time to get you anything nicer, so I can only give you this pair of bracelets."
