Everyone loudly praised the bride's beauty and good fortune, making Qian Manxia even more bashfully shy.
The biggest difference from the day Qian Mandie got married wasn't how much better the clothes or jewelry were, but rather, her eyes were filled with happiness. Although there was also a strong reluctance to leave her family home, there was no hint of fear or trepidation about her future.
This must be the difference between knowing each other well and a blind arranged marriage.
All of this made the young village maidens watching eagerly green with envy, and Qian Manting whispered to Qian Yixiu, "Auntie Xia is so beautiful, Auntie Xia is so fortunate."
Suddenly, sounds of drums, firecrackers, and men's boisterous laughter came from the front courtyard.
"Oh my, the groom has come to pick up the bride!" a few of the older women laughed loudly.
