Zhou Lichong had really saved quite a bit of money. Upon hearing that the wedding date was set for June 28th, Manbao immediately wrote a letter to her parents, asking them to come and see their eldest grandson get married.
Then she carefully selected fabrics from the shelves in her space, choosing those she thought suitable for Liu Sanniang, and took them to Junior Ms.Qian.
Seeing Manbao carrying an armful of fabric, at least five or six pieces, nearly touching the ground, Junior Ms.Qian quickly went forward to take them, asking, "Are you planning to make clothes?"
"No," Manbao replied, "These are for Lichong's bride price."
Junior Ms.Qian was slightly surprised. She counted the fabrics in the house, finding a total of six pieces, each with good material and color. Manbao seldom bought fabrics outside; in this year and more, she hadn't seen Manbao buy fabrics or clothes from outside. They all came from home or were made and sent over by Old Madam Liu.
