Chapter 67 -0067: Shopping Date 3_1

Lu Jiang had an impression of the incident his father was reminiscing about.

His older brother and sister-in-law got married after the traditional three letters and six etiquettes. Their dowry could not compare to the wealthy families of the city, but it was complete with gold, jewelry, silk, and satin. The sister-in-law’s dowry was also substantial.

The marriage between his eldest brother and sister-in-law was certainly a match of equality in social status, a combination of talent and beauty.

The grandeur of their engagement and marriage ceremony is still fresh in people’s memories.

When Lu’s father spoke in this way, he genuinely felt that Feng Qingxue was being wronged.

Same as his sons, but their marriage ceremonies couldn’t be more different.

Lu Jiang smiled, “Different times, different customs, we can’t make equal comparisons. Qingxue is broad-minded and does not care about these things.”

“Even if Snow is not concerned, we should not take it for granted.” Lu’s father thought for a moment and made a decision, “Whatever we have in our private collection, I’ll give it to your wife after you two get married. Although it cannot compare to the dowry at your brother’s wedding and the property share I gave him, it constitutes all we can offer from our family.”

Lu Jiang always knew that his family was not as destitute as it appeared to be and he was aware of the hiding place of the family property. He didn’t expect his father to hand over the family property to Feng Qingxue so trustingly. This shows the extent to which he approves of Feng Qingxue.

It is worth mentioning that, after his elder brother and sister-in-law got married, his father carried out a long inspection before he finally divided the family property to them.

“Father, considering the current tense situation, there’s no need to take it out so soon. I will discuss with Qingxue when the time comes.” What if someone found out once it’s taken out? Nowadays, everyone seems to be all ears.

Lu’s father nodded, “Alright, we’ll wait and see what Snow thinks, then.”

After a pause, he took a string of copper keys from his bosom and handed it to Lu Jiang. “However, you must give the gifts expected when she first visits our family. Go and pick two nice things. If the girl’s family likes jewelry, choose the best. Along with that, pick out a golden headdress as well. Traditionally, there’s gold jewelry when a marriage is arranged. Though it’s out of fashion now, we cannot go without it.”

Liang Jiang was his only son, and Lu’s father didn’t want to leave any regrets behind.

Lu Jiang left briefly and indeed brought back two jewelry boxes: a rosewood carving box and a black wood mother-of-pearl box.

The rosewood carving box contained a complete set of ruby inlaid gold hairpins, of an old design typically owned by wealthy families of old. In addition to earrings, rings, and bracelets, the hair ornaments included a phoenix head hairpin, temple hairpins, golden flower hairpins, and heart piercers, amongst others—tens of pieces in total. Fortunately, the gold was of excellent quality, the rubies were exceptionally even, and the filigree work was exceptionally exquisite.

The black wood mother-of-pearl box was slightly smaller, lined with red velvet, with two jade bracelets wrapped in red cloth – Hetian Jade of the best quality, flawless, like mutton-fat white, glossy with a slight transparency. The two were almost identical.

“That’s good. The jade bracelets will serve as the gift when she visits for the first time, and the golden jewelry will be the engagement gift,” Lu’s father was very pleased.

Before Feng Qingxue had even made her first visit, Lu’s father neatly sewed the two jewelry boxes into Lu Jiang’s old military cotton coat.

The military coat that Lu Jiang had lent Feng Qingxue to keep warm was delivered to the Wang family when Feng Qingxue came to visit. Lu Jiang draped it over himself, and the faint lingering fragrance was completely different from his own sweat.

Seeing his father about to speak, Lu Jiang hurriedly said, “I brought a new coat specifically today, which I will give to Qingxue when we go shopping.”

After hearing this, Lu’s father nodded his head in satisfaction. If they treated the girl well, she would be willing to marry into the family.
