The person who gave the dowry was Qin Zeyu. He volunteered to do so, which meant that he would not compete with his brother for the job of carrying his sister to the bridal sedan chair, and thus it was natural that he should be the one to deliver the dowry.
Old Madam Qin was convinced and agreed to these arrangements regardless of Qin Zening’s wishes.
When the auspicious time arrived, Qin Zeyu rode a white horse and set off from the Marquis of Zhongyi’s mansion looking triumphantly. Behind him were seven to eight of his close friends and a group of dowry servants from the marquis’s mansion.
This was the first time Qin Zeyu felt that he had taken on an important task, and with this thought, he made sure he would complete this task beautifully. Therefore, today, he and his brothers all wore the same lake blue brocade robes, as did all the servants who were carrying the dowry boxes. He also made sure that the servants he selected had dignified features and an agile body shape, not too tall or too short, not too fat, or too thin. The key point was that they must be neat, uniform, and dignified.
Sure enough, as soon as dowry servants walked down the streets of the capital, it immediately attracted countless onlookers. Several young men, including Qin Zeyu, all held their heads high, looking proud.
Anyway, Qin Zeyu’s sister was also their sister!
The 128 dowries were delivered to the County King’s Mansion in such a lively manner, that Qin Zeyu and several other young men were all given food by Gu Zezhi, and they all affectionately called him Brother Gu, with an inexplicable pride growing inside them.
His sister was so nice! Brother Gu’s eyes had long been blurred and her sister was the only one in his heart.
Qin Zeyu was just about to whisper a few more words to his brother when he heard a “pfft” and a clear laugh coming from the direction of the courtyard entrance.
The brothers were stunned and looked in the direction from which the laughter came.
At the entrance of the yard, several pink plums were blooming freely in the cold wind, fearless in this severe cold, as the small pink flowers sway gently on the branches.
A young girl draped in a large bright red cloak walked from the Guanxing Courtyard as a few pieces of fingernail-sized petals happened to fall on her shoulders, while her smiling face appeared as bright as her temple rouge.
Her eyes glistened as she smiled sweetly while looking at them.
Her face has no trace of the uneasiness of a bride-to-be, instead, she looks calm, natural, and unrestrained.
