The origin of these six sets is extraordinary, resplendent with jewels, almost dazzling the eyes of the onlookers. The next two sets of dowry are even more astonishing. The first set consists of stacks of tiles piled into a small mountain, and the latter set is a tall pile of bricks wrapped in red paper. According to wedding customs, these symbolize how much property and land the bride brings into the marriage.
The gathered crowd could hardly count the number of tiles and bricks, but Lian Manman sitting in the bridal sedan knew very well. Her family had endowed her with five estates, including three near the Prefecture City suburbs, and another two in Fuyuan County and Anding County, not far from the Prefecture City. Collectively, these estates encompass four thousand six hundred acres of fertile land, lakes, and mountainous areas separately calculated, five manor houses, and over four hundred rooms.
