Outside, everyone was talking and looking at the boxes of betrothal gifts being carried into the Lin Residence. They were all praising the generosity of their betrothal gifts. There were at least a hundred boxes of betrothal gifts, which really made people excited!
Inside, except for the main personnel of the Lin Mansion, the female relatives were not allowed to enter the hall. Instead, they asked the guards in the mansion to clear a place for them and put the hundred boxes of betrothal gifts in the courtyard in front of the hall. The hundred boxes full of betrothal gifts filled the entire courtyard, making the female relatives envious.
In the hall, the head of the Lin family, Lin Boheng, sat in the main seat. Feng Jiu and Old Man Geng sat in the first and second seats below. Lin Chengzhi sat below them, and sitting on the lower right were several clan elders and his other sons.
"Feng girl, when was the date you chose? How come the betrothal gifts were sent so soon? And where is your grandfather? Why didn't he come?" Lin Boheng asked. In fact, he didn't care whether the person who sent the betrothal gifts was Grandpa Feng or not. He just thought that he would come, but he didn't show up, so he asked this question.
Feng Jiu looked at him and said with a smile, "The date has been chosen, it is December 13th. We are counting on an auspicious day to come and send the betrothal gift. As for my grandfather, he has been practicing in seclusion since he returned. Now he has broken through to the Martial Sect and entered the Martial Emperor level. He wants to break through again in the near future and become a Martial Honored. Therefore, only Grandpa Geng and I can come to send the betrothal gift."
At this point, she smiled slightly and said, "If there is anything I did not do well, I hope Grandpa Lin and everyone will not blame me."
"Hahahaha, no way."
Lin Boheng laughed out loud, but was surprised in his heart, so he asked: "Sanyuan has just returned and has already reached the level of Martial Emperor? How could it be so fast? Reaching the level of Martial Honor in a short time? This is impossible, right?"
Hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled and said, "I also told him to do what he can. Whether he can advance or not is another matter, as long as he tries his best."
"Yes! Just try your best. He just cares too much about what others think." He shook his head and smiled, then looked at Old Man Geng: "I'm really sorry to trouble you this time, Brother Geng. You've worked hard along the way. You must take a good rest in the mansion for two days."
"It's no trouble. It's my honor to come to your house to present the betrothal gift on behalf of Sanyuan."
The old man of the Geng family said with a smile, and they talked for a while until the Fengwei came in and reported that the hundred boxes of betrothal gifts had been moved in. He then took out the betrothal list and walked forward to present it with both hands.
"Master Lin, this is the list of betrothal gifts. Please follow me to count and hand over the betrothal gifts."
"Okay, then we'll go together." Lin Boheng nodded, signaled to the elders, and walked out together. When they got outside, they saw the pile of boxes in the yard, and everyone smiled.
Hundred boxes of betrothal gifts were not unheard of for the Lin family. However, the fact that they could offer such a hundred boxes of betrothal gifts showed how much importance they attached to this marriage, which made them very pleased.
What's more, not to mention the betrothal gifts, the grand momentum of the procession into the city was enough to earn the Lin family enough face.
The betrothal gift list was in triplicate, one for the man, one for the woman, and one for the woman's family. At this moment, Old Master Geng was holding one of the copies and reading out the betrothal gifts on it. Then a guard carried out the box and placed it in front of everyone. He opened it for everyone in the Lin family to see, then closed it again and had the woman's family carry it to the warehouse.
