Chapter 98 Can a Pheasant Compare with a Phoenix?
Having left Hongyu in charge of the house, Madam Zhou and Miss Wufu went to the market to purchase wedding gifts for Zhou Xueli's upcoming marriage. Besides the customary gifts from Madam Zhou to the newlyweds, as his elder sister, she also had to present a quilt, a rooster, wine, and meat, collectively referred to as the ceremonial gifts.
It was easy to deal with the quilt. Those with ample means could provide a Big Red Brocade Quilt; even those less fortunate could get by with a piece of Big Red Cloth, as long as no one objected.
Madam Zhou, who had previously saved some Silver from her embroidery work, had discussed with Miss Wufu and prepared a three-pound Red Cotton Quilt.
As for the recognition gift for the bride, Miss Wufu took her to the Hundred Treasures Silver Building, saying, "Mother, please decide, whether to give a bracelet or hairpin, anything will do."
"Miss Wufu, you've come again." The one who came to greet them was a young attendant named Jin Xi.
