Actually, there aren’t many things.
This was all thanks to the fact that the Zhu family prepared a lot of betrothal gifts when proposing marriage, otherwise Xie Jia's dowry would have been even more meager.
Xie Jia sat in the sedan chair with a frighteningly distorted face.
She had already looked at the dowry list, and found that much of the money on it was just to make up the numbers and was not actually worth much.
It was far from what she had envisioned, a grand wedding with a gorgeous wedding ceremony.
But she didn't dare to make a fuss.
The Xie family was almost drained of their wealth by that beast Xie Xiu, and they really couldn't prepare more dowry for her.
Her mother was imprisoned again and expelled from the Chen family. If she dared to make trouble again, no one would protect her.
What's more, she has now turned into this half-human, half-ghost appearance...
Xie Jia reached out her hand tremblingly and gently touched her cheek. However, when she felt the ugly uneven scar on her face, she immediately withdrew her hand in fear.
She just wanted to vent her anger and teach a little girl a lesson, but who knew she would end up in such a horrible state!
If Pei Rong saw her current appearance, would he still be willing to marry her?
Xie Jia's eyes soon became wet.
She touched her belly again.
Thinking that she and Pei Rong's child was already inside, she felt a little relieved and secretly comforted herself in her heart: Pei Lang is not that kind of ungrateful person, he will definitely not betray her, she can't let her mind go wild.
Finally, the sedan chair stopped.
The door of the sedan chair was opened, and a slender jade-like hand stretched out towards her, inviting her to get out.
Xie Jia looked at the beautiful hand and suddenly felt happy and excited.
She curled her lips in excitement and raised her hand to hold the other person, but the hand retracted and was replaced by the end of the red silk.
Xie Jia's face turned cold, but he had to suppress his anger. He grabbed the red silk and slowly got out of the sedan chair.
Finally, she and Pei Lang are getting married.
Xie Jia suppressed her excitement and nervousness, grabbed the red silk, followed Pei Rong in front of her, and walked step by step towards the gate in front.
Housing prices in the capital are not cheap. Even a small house in a bad location costs over a thousand taels of silver.
Pei Rong spent two thousand taels of silver on this house. This was the money many wealthy families in his hometown sent him after he passed the imperial examination, and the money he saved from helping others with their homework and copying scriptures.
He also had 400 mu of land in his hometown, which was also given to him by his clansmen after he passed the imperial examination in order to avoid paying taxes. Although these lands were registered in his name, they were still managed by his clansmen.
Since he helped people exempt taxes, they naturally had to pay him tribute.
So strictly speaking, Pei Rong is not a poor scholar now. But compared to the Xie family before the incident, he can only be regarded as a small shrimp now.
Holding one end of the red silk and feeling Xie Jia behind him, Pei Rong felt quite complicated at this moment.
He took the initiative to seduce Xie Jia, originally wanting to marry an official's daughter with a generous dowry who could help him rise quickly in his official career.
However, he didn't expect that just when his plan succeeded and he was about to get engaged to Xie Jia, something big happened in her family!
Although the two are now married, Xie Jia's dowry has shrunk by 99% compared to his original estimate!
Xie Yun was also dismissed from office. Although he still had connections to help him, they were not as good as before.
If the affair between him and Xie Jia had not been rumored for a long time, and the storybook hinted at his marriage to Xie Jia, and he was afraid of offending Xie Yun, how could he have married this unruly and headstrong young lady?
Pei Rong was very unhappy, but he kept a warm smile on his face to avoid being noticed.
He pulled Xie Jia over the fire basin, and under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, they worshipped heaven, earth and their parents.
After the couple bowed to each other, he took Xie Jia to the decorated bridal chamber.
A black starling stood on a branch, its black eyes gazing intently at the two people in wedding attire.
