Everyone then set aside the matter and started talking about other topics. With Lian Manman, Xiao Qi, and Zhang Caiyun joking around, Lian Zhizhi gradually felt better.
Lian Manman family had prepared all the dowry for Lian Zhizhi, and friends and relatives who came to add to the dowry were nearly unending each day.
Lady Li, Lady Zhang Wang, and Zhang Caiyun came early to help and were the first to send their dowries.
Lady Zhang Wang and Lady Hu Wang, who stayed home to manage and cook, both sent thick sewing packages, which included pairs of handkerchiefs, sweat cloths, pillowcases, chair covers, tablecloths, door curtains, window curtains, different sizes of various fabric covers, and even wrap cloths, all made of top-quality materials and embroidered with auspicious patterns by hand.
Clearly, these two women started preparing these items right after Lian Zhizhi was engaged.
