~4 min read 795 words

Was Qin Zhong, who had a bit of a daughter's manner and no masculinity.

Seeing Jia Hui.

He immediately stepped forward to salute happily!

"Hmm."

Jia Hui nodded with a smile.

Immediately dismounted.

However.

Still couldn't enter the door for the first time.

Because the sedan chair arrived at the door.

The bride's family, the Qin family, needed to set off firecrackers to welcome the sedan, then cover the gate and block the sedan door, and only open it after inserting a red envelope.

The sedan chair must be placed with the door facing out.

Someone from the Qin family lit red candles and held a mirror, shining it into the sedan, to drive away the vengeful ghosts hiding in the sedan, called searching the sedan.

Jia Hui was heroic.

Gave everyone a red envelope of one tael of silver!

Making the Qin family all happy.

"The son-in-law is truly generous!"

"Oh my, too much money!"

Incredibly excited.

However.

Still didn't let Jia Hui enter the door.

【222】 Snatch the bride! Snatch Qin Keqing! Kind Qin family!

After such a series of complex rituals.

There was no more obstruction.

Welcomed by Qin Zhong's joy and excitement.

They walked into the hall in a grand manner.

And at this moment, there were many Qin family friends and relatives in the hall.

Everyone was smiling and full of awe.

Looking at this noble young groom, Jia Hui!

"Worthy son-in-law."

"Father-in-law!"

In the hall.

Qin Ye was glowing, looking at Jia Hui with great excitement.

And Jia Hui also bowed to this old father-in-law with a smile.

"Good, good, good."

Qin Ye was incredibly happy.

Didn't say much.

He immediately said to Jia Hui.

"This is my Qin family's dowry."

Jia Hui looked at the boxes of dowry in the hall.

Knowing this wasn't just for him to see.

But also for the friends and relatives present to watch.

Let people watch, called watching the dowry.

Items are hung with red colored threads, clothes are scented with sandalwood, silver is placed at the bottom of the box, commonly known as box-pressing money.

When the dowry is moved to Jia Hui's male family, it also needs to be displayed in the hall for people to watch, also called watching the dowry.

At that time, a woman from the household would take the bride's key pouch, retrieve the key, and open the trunk, a custom commonly known as "emptying the trunk."

Jia Hui, who was getting married for the first time, learned this from You Shi and the others.

What truly surprised Jia Hui was.

He discovered.

The betrothal gift worth fifty thousand taels he sent earlier.

Except for some fruits and food that couldn't be kept for long and had been eaten.

The rest were basically placed here.

And even added quite a bit!

Jia Hui sighed.

Kind!

This father-in-law, they are truly good to Qin Keqing!

Although he was happy before that he sent so many gifts.

Giving the Qin family face.

Making Qin Keqing glorious.

In reality, they didn't covet a single cent of his money.

It was hoping that Qin Keqing wouldn't be looked down upon or bullied after marrying into Jia Hui's house.

Qin Ye was truly painstaking.

And truly good to Qin Keqing!

Compared to many bride's families in modern times who want to hollow out the groom's family, it's completely incomparable!

This is the real marriage!

Not only with betrothal gifts.

But also with dowry.

No wonder later Qin Ye had to find a good teacher.

And had to scrape together 22 taels of silver!

Jia Hui thought: "Father-in-law, you treat me and Keqing this way, I will definitely not let you down!"

He made up his mind to promote Qin Ye and his son well.

Qin Zhong, this brother-in-law, must also be sent to the school that is about to open.

Let great scholars like Cai Yong teach him well and change his life.

Putting these thoughts aside for now.

"Worthy son-in-law, Ke'er is currently opening her face."

"Let's drink the opening-face wine first!"

Afterward, Qin Ye said to Jia Hui with a smile.

At this time, in the backyard, the Qin family's happy lady used five-colored cotton thread to twist off the sweat hair on the bride Qin Keqing's face, which is what Qin Ye called "opening the face," containing the meaning of modern beauty.

Guests eat opening-face soup fruits.

Then noon is the main banquet, commonly known as opening-face wine, also called starting-marriage wine.

The Qin family also had to set up a banquet to entertain Jia Hui and the others.

But this was purely ceremonial.

Just eat and drink casually.

After a series of processes.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Seeing the time was about right.
