The jade itself was provided, and just to hire soone to carve it actually costs two hundred taels of silver!
It seems Xu Muqing really put in a lot of effort to prepare wedding gifts for Lin Yuan!
Although the wedding gifts from the other few people had not been presented yet, in front of this unique set of dim sum, everyone’s wedding gifts seed to pale in comparison.
However, Yan Ruchun was not at all annoyed. Instead, she felt comforted by Xu Muqing’s thoughtfulness.
This girl has finally outgrown being just a little glutton!
"May I ask Miss Xu, where did you find this craftsman?"
Han Huijuan looked at the exquisite and adorable dim sum, thoughtfully furrowing her brow.
Xu Muqing tilted her head and thought for a mont, then chuckled: "Are you planning to compete with him? But I don’t rember where that person is from, I’ll ask Brother Rong so other day for you?"
"No need to trouble you, I just feel this craftsmanship seems familiar."
Han Huijuan smiled and waved her hand, not wanting to bother others unnecessarily.
The wedding gift from Yan Ruchun was a red coral head ornant that she had soone find in Dongling, extrely precious.
Tian Xuan’s wedding gift was a quilt and bed sheet she embroidered herself with a dragon and phoenix motif, full of heartfelt intention.
Apart from her own wedding gift, Tian Xuan also helped her sister Tian Hui send a gift, a piece of jade pendant sought from the South that enhances beauty, extrely valuable and beautiful.
Han Huijuan’s wedding gift was a set of jade hair ornants she crafted herself. Although its design wasn’t as original as Lin Yuan’s golden butterfly hair ornant, it was valued for its exquisite workmanship, also quite rare.
With a cheerful smile, Lin Yuan received each of their gifts one by one into a large box, recalling how she herself once sent wedding gifts to Tian Xuan and Lan Hua. It feels like it happened yesterday, yet today it’s her turn.
Chuckling to herself, Lin Yuan contently exclaid, "The feeling of receiving gifts is really nice!"
The gleam in her eyes clearly showed a little money-lover!
Shui Xian and Yin Xing exchanged a knowing smile, indeed, they both knew Lin Yuan was just like the groom, both little misers!
After everyone finished giving gifts, the courtyard buzzed with excitent again as Jin Yuyu and Lan Hua arrived, along with Sister-in-law Guizhi and Xiao He and the others.
All ca to give Lin Yuan wedding gifts. Although the items varied, each was a token of goodwill, and Lin Yuan gratefully accepted them, carefully storing them in her box.
Lin Yuan’s marriage in the capital city was quite a significant event, after all her status was prominent, and she was marrying into the General Mansion, to their esteed Second Young Master.
Therefore, many wealthy young ladies in the capital, even those who had only encountered Lin Yuan once, all eagerly ca to give her wedding gifts.
In truth, it was just to flatter her.
Guest courtesy dictates, even though Lin Yuan did not get along with most of the elite young ladies in the capital, she still had the servants invite them in.
However, the gifts they brought were all handed over to Shui Xian and Yin Xing.
The two smart maids, understanding from Lin Yuan’s expression, discreetly recorded the giver and item, placing the gifts into another large box separately.
Whether these items would be taken to the General Mansion along with her dowry remained uncertain.
Because these unsolicited guests ca to deliver gifts, the bridal hairdresser Grandma Shiquan arrived a bit late. Nevertheless, as long as the auspicious ti was not delayed, that was what mattered.
Lin Yuan’s courtyard was bustling with those young ladies offering all sorts of flattering remarks around her.
Recalling when she first arrived in the capital, how these people looked down on her, Lin Yuan found it intensely ironic.
She wondered how these people managed to put aside their pride to approach her with gifts. Did they feel a tinge of regret or cursed her spitefully while preparing the gifts?
Amidst such random thoughts, Lin Yuan didn’t really take in a word they said.
"Miss, Miss Ma is here to give you a wedding gift."
Miss Ma?
Hearing the maid’s report from outside, Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. Was there a Miss Ma in the capital? Which family was she from?
Just as she was guessing, a familiar and lively voice rang in her ears.
"Sister Yuan, congratulations, congratulations! I’ve co to give you a wedding gift!"
So it was Ma Xiaonan!
Since Ma Junying beca the top scholar and took a position at the Hanlin Academy, Master Ma and his wife, along with Ma Xiaonan, had moved to live in the capital.
