My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 5 Listen to what the beauty says

The dowry must be sent to the husband's family at the latest one day before the wedding.

The Qin family is a scholarly family and would not do anything shameful, so all the betrothal gifts were used as dowry.

The dowry given to Qin Yuan and Qin Wan was originally the same, but because Qin Wan acted foolishly, she was given 20% more, so she got 12 tai and Qin Wan got 10 tai.

Aunt Chen left behind four boxes of dowry, two of which were medical books.

There was no one left in the Chen family, and the medical books that should have been passed down to their son and daughter-in-law became Aunt Chen's dowry.

Qin Yuan knew how precious the dowry was, so she ordered people to wrap it in oil paper to prevent it from getting wet in the rain at night.

In my previous life, these medical books were placed in the yard. Unexpectedly, it rained in the middle of the night and some of them were damaged. Later I found out that they were all unique copies and there was no way to repair them.

The Marquis's Mansion sent a betrothal gift of 100 pieces, and my stepmother gave me two pieces as an allowance, making a total of 118 pieces.

The number is auspicious and it is a good omen.

As for Qin Wan, the Lin family sent 46 sets of betrothal gifts, 10 sets from the royal family, and 30 sets from her stepmother, for a total of 86 sets.

Although Qin Wan was unhappy, she didn't make a fuss. She obviously understood that Lin Ziqi had done his best.

Listening to the steward announcing the amount of dowry at the gate, Hongye quietly asked Qin Yuan: "Miss, Mr. Lin often comes to our house to ask for money, and asks us to send gifts from time to time to supplement him. Where does he get so much betrothal gifts?"

Qin Yuan smiled softly: "Every mouse has its own way, every snake has its own way. He has his own way. As long as my sister and brother-in-law live well, that's all."

If Qin Wan had not paid for these betrothal gifts privately to save Lin Ziqi's face, it would have been the same as in his previous life, where Lin Ziqi had to borrow money to buy the betrothal gifts.

In the end, that money was repaid with her dowry.

However, Qin Wan's dowry is generous, so I don't think she will care.

Cui Ming glared at Hong Ye and said, "Why are you still talking about this now?"

Marriage between men and women is irrelevant. The young lady is going to become a marquis's wife, so why should she care about the Lin family?

Hongye also came to her senses and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, look at my mouth. Miss, go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow to dress up."

Thinking of how Hongye had suffered a lot in her previous life because of this mouth, Qin Yuan reminded her: "Now you are in the Qin family, it's okay. If you go to the Marquis' Mansion, you are unfamiliar with the place and the rules are strict. You don't know how you will offend others. Not only will you suffer, but you may also implicate the master."

"Miss, I will definitely change."

Hongye was also a little scared.

If what she said today was heard by someone in the Marquis' Mansion, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

Qin Yuan said, "You and Cuiming are my most useful personal maids, my left and right arms. I would be miserable without either of you. You'd better remember that the mouth can cause trouble. Be careful with your words and actions in the future."

It is very difficult for Hongye to be careful in what she says and does, but constant nagging always helps her make fewer mistakes.

Hongye responded shyly.

On the second day, Qin Yuan got up at dawn and dressed herself up. Looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn't get enough of looking at herself.

She was good-looking, but had to hide it from her stepmother and step-sister before she got married. After she got married in her previous life, Lin's mother was wary of her, fearing that she would seduce Lin Ziqi and cause him to neglect his studies. From now on, she didn't have to do that anymore.

Cui Ming sighed: "Our young lady is so beautiful today, she is just like a fairy from heaven who has come down to earth."

Hongye nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

Qin Yuan knew that she was frightened and didn't dare to say anything more. She could not help but pursed her lips and chuckled.

The bridesmaids who were helping with her makeup also complimented her in unison: "I've never seen such a beautiful bride."

Qin Yuan said with a smile: "Hongye, reward them."

Such a good day should be praised and praised by someone.

The bridesmaids accepted the red envelopes with profuse gratitude and served even more attentively.

After she finished her makeup and changed into the wedding dress that Jinxiu Pavilion had rushed to deliver, everyone's eyes widened.

Jinxiu Pavilion employs the top embroiderers in the capital. This wedding dress is tailored to fit the body perfectly, with a unique design and intricate and exquisite embroidery. It shines with every move Qin Yuan makes.

Once people stand there, all their sight is taken away.

Everyone said in unison: "Beautiful, so beautiful." Qin Yuan lowered her neck slightly and gently stroked the flowers and embroidery on the sleeves with her fingers. She liked this wedding dress very much. Her marriage in her previous life was too shabby, and she still felt regretful even if she became rich in the future.

Today, she has completed all of them.

Perhaps God took pity on her for the difficulties she had in her previous life, and everything has gone smoothly for her since her rebirth, as if it were a dream.

If I am dreaming, let this dream be longer.

Before we knew it, the auspicious time had arrived.

She and Qin Wan were surrounded by maids and bridesmaids and went to the front hall to kneel down and pay homage to their parents.

As soon as Yingying knelt in front of her parents, the hall was already in an uproar.

Qin Wan was shaking with jealousy. Qin Yuan was wearing a hollow phoenix crown made of gold and silver threads, decorated with agate and other gems and jade, with twelve large flower hairpins on the side, which was extremely luxurious.

Under the crown of flowers is a small face as if carved from snow-white jade, with bright and cold eyes that make people unable to take their eyes off.

Cui clenched her hands tightly and did not lose her composure.

She knew that this concubine's daughter was pretty, but she didn't know she was so pretty.

The wedding dress on Qin Yuan glowed in the light as she moved, making her look even more graceful and charming.

Such a woman could even enter the palace and become a queen.

Everyone who saw it couldn't help but think so.

Qin Jijiu stared blankly at his beautiful daughter who walked towards him step by step and knelt on the cushion. It took him a while before he remembered to reprimand her.

"Marriage is destined by heaven... abide by the virtues of a woman... manage the household frugally..."

After the admonition is finished, it is time for the bride to bid farewell to her parents in tears.

At this moment, Qin Wan cried sincerely. Ever since her marriage was changed, she had been suppressed by Qin Yuan in every way. Today, she was compared to Qin Yuan like dust. How could she not be sad?

Cui also couldn't stop crying.

I was just comforted by Qin Jijiu last night, but when I saw Qin Yuan getting married in such a grand manner, the pain came back uninvited.

"Jiaojiao'er, from now on you have to stop being so spoiled and be a good wife to others."

Qin Wan: “Woo woo woo woo.”

Qin Yuan: “…”

After putting on the veil, the brides will be carried into the sedan chair by their brothers.

Qin Heng naturally had to carry Qin Wan on his back.

Qin Yuan was carried on the back of her cousin who had come to live with her. In her previous life, her cousin had also carried her on his back. Her cousin was taller and stronger than Qin Heng, and he carried her safely into the bridal sedan.

The groom had already sung a poem to urge the bride to get ready, and when the auspicious time came, the bridesmaid urged the bearers to lift the sedan chair and leave.

The Marquis's Mansion naturally had a sedan chair carried by eight people.

The Lin family’s sedan chair was carried by four people.

Lord Gu, who came to pick up the bride, was wearing a groom's robe and a crown on his head. He was riding a thousand-mile horse that was completely black except for a circle of white around the horse's hooves. Following him was a group of strong and sturdy men in strong clothes who were carrying baskets full of copper coins, looking very imposing.

Compared to this, the thin Lin Ziqi inevitably looks a little frail.

Hongye couldn't help but say to Qin Yuan outside the sedan chair: "Miss, the son-in-law is really good-looking and handsome. He is a perfect match for you."

Qin Yuan smiled and said nothing.

Hongye added, "I used to think that the Second Miss saw the uncle at the flower viewing banquet and disliked him because he was ugly and old. It turns out that the Second Miss really has a brain disease."

Lord Gu, who was riding on a horse far ahead, couldn't help but hold his breath and listen carefully.

I want to hear what the beauty in the sedan chair says.
