The Zhou family, with Lady Dong and Chang Lian having just returned from their visit back home, Zhulan, accompanied by Lady Li and Lady Zhao, was busy sorting out the wedding gifts they had received, as there had been no time the day before.
In ancient times, unlike today, it was rare for people to give Silver Coins; instead, they would give gifts.
One wedding feast, and the Zhou family's house was piled up with half a room of gift boxes. Zhulan hadn't even had the chance to see or check them, but most of the gifts were practical items—decorations, fabrics, spices, and the like.
Zhulan picked out the items intended for the newlyweds' use, and there were quite a few, mainly because it was customary to give red, festive items for weddings.
Zhulan didn't like the spices; their scent was too strong for her to bear. She packed them all away and didn't plan to let her family use them either.
