To Be A Virtuous Wife

73

Today Luo fu was especially busy. Luxurious sedans of all kinds stopped at the doors of the Luo fu, and the line was so long it took half the street. The common people watched from far away on the side as the sedans that carried the noblewomen passed by and started to discuss the matter of Luo xiaojie's upcoming marriage..

The time at which Qu Qing Ju arrived wasn't too early or too late. Once her sedan appeared, the other sedans quickly moved out to make a path to let her eight-person wang fei ranked sedan smoothly pass through.

Getting off the sedan, the person receiving her was Luo Wen Yao's mother Luo taitai. She reached out to hold Luo taitai's hand, stopping her from bowing in greeting to her: "Luo taitai, what are you doing, you are my elder, there's no rationale for elders bowing to their descendants. Today is Wen Yao meimei's day of adding to the dowry. Coming here is me butting in to receive some of that celebratory cheer."

"Wang fei could come, it's bringing light to this humble abode, it isn't butting in," Luo taitai was smiling widely as she supported her hand to walk into the fu and usher her into the houyuan. She saw that many people had already arrived. These people must be on good relations with the Luo Family to come at this time to add to the dowry.

Tian Luo shi might have been Qu Qing Ju's jiumu but she hadn't expected that her niece would personally come. Seeing her, she fell into a short daze before revealing a smile. The fact that her niece was honouring her maternal family, it was out of fondness for her.

"Jiu mu," Qu Qing Ju walked over to Tian Luo shi. She saw that Tian Luo shi was holding the accounts for Luo Wen Yao's dowry. She casually took a look and said to Luo taitai behind her, "Luo taitai loves her daughter very much, this dowry is very generous."

The other furen present, when they heard the words, followed with their compliments. The family attitude of the Luo Family in placing importance on the next generation was famous in Jing City. Qu Qing Ju ruminated on the stuff listed on the dowry list. This desire to care for their daughter, it was very rare.

As Luo taitai heard the praises, she smiled as tears ran down. It could be seen she was happy at her daughter's marriage yet sad to part with her daughter.

A short while later, everyone started to demand to see the soon-to-be-married bride. Qu Qing Ju went with the crowd into Luo Wen Yao's room. After entering, she saw Luo Wen Yao wearing a pink dress, her cheeks red as she sat by the window, clearly embarrassed. Luo lao taitai was sitting beside her, a benevolent smile on her face. It seemed that she, as an elder, was discussing something with her beloved granddaughter.

Qu Qing Ju's footsteps paused. She felt that this scene before her was very warm and unconsciously gave a smile, holding Tian Luo shi's hand as she stood silently at one side.

"So beautiful," One furen looked at Luo Wen Yao who had her head lowered, and gasped: "It wasn't so long ago you were just a young yatouand now you are getting married." She walked in front of Luo taitai and gently patted her hand, "As her aunt, I don't have anything good to give her, but these things are just a token of my love as an elder."

Once she finished, the yahuan behind her revealed the gifts. Qu Qing Ju found that inside were two pairs of bangles, two pairs of earring, two buyao, and two sets of jade artifacts. The craftsmanship of all these objects were very fine, it seemed that this aunt of Luo Wen Yao's had put some thought in.

The close relatives of the Luo Family started to give out the objects to add to the dowry. Tian Luo shi, as the aunt, didn't give jade artifacts or jewelry. She straightforwardly gave out the deeds to the land and house for a shop. It was an exceedingly generous gift. Of course, it also implied her position in the Tian Family.
