Chapter 238 The Dowry
The box was about the same size as the one my aunt gave her. Inside was an old finger ring, a very simple jade pendant, a gold bracelet inlaid with emeralds, a pair of emerald earrings, and a gold necklace with emeralds. Set, a few big coins, some copper coins, a house deed, the one where the Xue family lives, two gold bars, a few big black tens, and 5000 yuan.

"Dad, didn't you give me all our money? Why?" There is still so much.

"Your mother and I saved these for you alone. We saved a little every year, and that's how much money I saved for you. I originally planned to buy you a house, and your mother and I would use the rest for retirement. Who knows...the plan can't keep up with the changes. If you have these, you will have more money and you will have confidence in your parents' family."

"Dad, I've already spent the 1 yuan. I won't take the [-] yuan. You can keep it with you as a spare."

"Dad just gave me a bonus, more than 1000 yuan. Dad can't spend it all in a year. Besides, dad's salary will not be low in the future. I'm sure he will save more than you in one year."

Lu Jingqiu's eyes suddenly turned red: "Other families can make some money by marrying off their daughters. If you get there, you can't wait to marry the whole family."

Lu Xianrun patted her quite proudly, and said with a smile, "Your father has this ability and is willing to give it to my daughter. Isn't that touching?"

"kindness."

Finally, Lu Jingqiu went upstairs with her dowry. When she got upstairs, she discovered that there was a long red dress on the bed.

The velvet one, with a white stand-up collar, white cuffs, and a V-neck.

This kind of clothes can probably only be bought in friendship stores.

Lu Jingqiu happily tried it on and found that it fit perfectly. She didn't know how Jiang Nanzhou knew how to do it.

Looking at her empty neck in the mirror, Lu Jingqiu rummaged through her trousseau box and matched the set of golden earrings inlaid with rubies with the emerald gold necklace.

Very much in the style of this era.

In the evening, Lu Jingqiu suffered from insomnia, a little excited, but also a little looking forward to it, so she didn't wake up until after ten o'clock the next day.

At this time, my aunt was already preparing things below to receive the guests who came to send off the wedding.

Many of them were aunts in the courtyard. Some brought red cloth, some gave mirrors, the kind of mirrors that hang on the wall, and some also gave soap, enamel jars, pillow towels, backs, sheets, and hot water bottles.

Although the Lu family has few relatives, my father has many comrades in arms.

We received many visitors in the morning, and in the afternoon, many people came in a steady stream.

Aunt Gao took the package that Gao Qing had mailed to her, and Aunt Liu, Grandma Wang, and Aunt Cuihua tidied up her room, mainly laying down the wedding bed, and she didn't quite understand how to make some customs.

She listened carefully to whatever the adults explained.

At about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Jingqiu went out and brought in a few friends, Luo Xinyue, He Yu, and Chen Qingru.

Lu Jingqiu originally asked Xue Jiannian to come over, but Xue Jiannian said that she was married and it was not good for her to "hang around" with them now.

Prepare to come over early tomorrow morning.

In order to give the little sisters some space, their father also went to the army.

Only my aunt and Aunt Liu helped with some elders to take care of things.

Lu Jingqiu made stew to entertain them in the evening.

The few of them didn't have much intention to eat. After eating a few simple bites, they took Lu Jingqiu upstairs to look at her dress.

Luo Xinyue looked at the hanging red dress, her eyes were full of envy: "This dress is too pretty, isn't it, your Jiang Nanzhou prepared it for you?" "Well, I still don't know where he bought it, It should be at the Friendship Store.”

He Yu nodded and said, "Yes, only Friendship Store can buy such beautiful clothes."

Chen Qingru carefully touched the material and said: "This material is really thick and the color is beautiful, but now such bright red is popular for weddings. During the Chinese New Year, I saw a bride wearing that kind of skirt with a red suit on top. , it looks good."

Luo Xinyue said: "I also fell in love with a red skirt in the mall, but now that I see Jingqiu's, I feel like it's not that good again."

Lu Jingqiu smiled and said: "When you get married, the weather will be warmer, you can wear a red gauze skirt." In fact, wedding dresses will become popular in two years, including purple, red and white.

Luo Xinyue said: "Red gauze skirt? We don't seem to have any here."

He Yu said: "We have one there. During the Chinese New Year, I saw one hanging in an old tailor shop. I was curious and went up to touch it. She said she designed it herself. It was a gauze skirt. I didn't know if it was Jing's skirt. The kind Qiu said."

Luo Xinyue asked curiously about He Yu. Girls couldn't stop talking about beauty.

Lu Jingqiu went to get some fruit for them. At around seven o'clock in the evening, her aunt came up and told them that Grandma Wang would come to comb her hair tomorrow, and that the bridesmaids also needed to take something to the new house.

He explained everything to them one by one before leaving.

While several people were dividing the work, Lu Jingqiu went to take a shower. When she came back, she insisted on letting her try on the wedding dress.

Lu Jingqiu had no choice but to put it on for them to see. The red dress looked particularly attractive in the dim light.

Wearing emerald jewelry is really the icing on the cake.

Chen Qingru said: "You don't need to make your hair too complicated, just tie it up. Jingqiu, do you have a hairpin? If you have a hairpin, just insert a hairpin and put on big red lips. Don't mention how beautiful it is."

Lu Jingqiu shrugged and said, "There really aren't any hairpins." She thought of the white jade and red agate head, but it was too high-profile.

Luo Xinyue said: "Just bring a big red flower. Jingqiu, do you have any red gauze at home? I'll make one for you."

"Yes." Lu Jingqiu took out a red gauze scarf from the cabinet and said, "This was my mother's before. I wanted it to be like this. In fact, my uncle got the bride's and groom's brooches. My aunt said to wear a red headband. That’s it.”

Lu Jingqiu also prepared red headbands during the Chinese New Year, and also prepared a flower.

As Lu Jingqiu spoke, she tied her mother's red gauze scarf with a rubber band and placed it on her head. The front one just covered her eyes, and the back one hung on her shoulders.

After doing this, it immediately changed its appearance again. Several people said that this method is good.

Lu Jingqiu pursed her lips and smiled, this is what she learned from later generations.

Chen Qingru said: "I will dress like this tomorrow and put on red leather shoes. It will be so beautiful. Believe it or not, if other lesbians see this, they will definitely imitate your dress."

He Yu nodded: "I found that when you get married in the future, you may not wear a Chinese tunic suit or a green military uniform. This is how lesbians should get married. Xinyue, I will call you and ask about the gauze skirt when you get back to school. .”

Luo Xinyue said: "Okay, thank you so much."

"No, no, I can't stand your enthusiasm."

"Haha."
