The days flew by in busy preparation; the Wu Family sent over the formal betrothal gifts, making Lian Manman's home bustling for a day. Soon, it was the twenty-seventh of the winter month—the day when the Lian Family would send furniture and set up the bridal chamber at the Wu Family residence.
As the brothers of the bride, Wu Lang and Xiao Qi were both dressed impeccably, each riding a red-adorned blue mule, leading the procession. Behind them were several open wagons, packed full with pieces of furniture accompanying Lian Zhizhi as part of her dowry. Each carriage was decorated with large red silk ribbons, exuding joyous festivity.
There were also two covered carriages carrying female elders of the bride's family, responsible for setting up the new room.
