Chapter 391 Before the wedding
Since Xu Yuexi agreed to get married, Ouyang Xingchen handled all matters related to the marriage in the next few days.
Xu Yuexi only did two things in the past few days. One was to try on the wedding dress, and the second was to prepare a betrothal gift for Ouyang Xingchen.
Speaking of the betrothal gift, Xu Yuexi only now realized that in this world, when a man gets married, the dowry he brings to the woman's home belongs to the woman, while the betrothal gift is given according to the woman's wishes. If a man is willing to give a betrothal gift, he can embroider a purse or handkerchief, and if he does not want to give a betrothal gift, he can choose not to give one.
Compared to a man's dowry, a woman's betrothal gift seems so insignificant. It's like getting a husband for free without spending a penny. I feel so sorry for the men in this world.
He gave the money he worked so hard to earn to his wife. If he was lucky, he could have a child. If he was unlucky, not only would he get nothing, but he would also be beaten and scolded by his wife, and finally be trapped in the backyard and wasted his life until he died.
But because of the strict protection of the law for women, they cannot resist, otherwise their own families will be implicated. It is so difficult to be a man!
Xu Yuexi asked her husbands about the betrothal gifts that her original husband had given when she married them.
Because Tang Liuqing was deeply loved by the original body, she personally embroidered a purse, a handkerchief, and a set of clothes for him when she married him. This was already a very good betrothal gift.
Ji Wuxie and Yue Rensong did not give any betrothal gifts.
As for the other seven, because it was a marriage of peace and the other party was the crown prince, the original body prepared a piece of brocade handkerchief for each of them. However, most of them were embroidered by court embroiderers, and the original body only embroidered a few stitches casually.
Her original self really treats people differently!
Xu Yuexi could understand why the original body did this. Of course, she treated the one she loved sincerely, treated the one she had to compromise with perfunctorily, and ignored the one who was insignificant.
However, what surprised Xu Yuexi was that her original body did not accept the dowries from these husbands, and left them to keep and manage them all themselves.
Her approach was in line with Xu Yuexi's wishes. After all, her food, clothing, and daily necessities were all provided by these men, so she could just let them support her, and she didn't need to accept their dowry.
The dowry Xu Yuexi prepared for Ouyang Xingchen was a self-portrait of him.
In the painting, Ouyang Xingchen is wearing a mask and flying in white clothes, looking elegant and handsome.
Xu Yuexi uses modern pigments. The various colors she carefully mixed are layered together to create prominent light and dark effects and vivid colors.
Ouyang Xingchen in the picture is as vivid as a real person. His handsome face, sharp eyes and slightly upturned mouth are all portrayed by Xu Yuexi to the core. From a distance, it seems as if Ouyang Xingchen is really about to fly out of the painting.
Looking at the betrothal gift prepared by Xu Yuexi, her husbands were not only amazed at her painting skills, but were also secretly heartbroken.
The loss in their eyes did not escape Xu Yuexi's eyes.
But when she came through, they had already married their original bodies, and she could no longer prepare a betrothal gift for them.
She couldn't prepare betrothal gifts, but she could give them gifts! So Xu Yuexi chose a ring for each of her ten husbands from Xiao Tongzi's mall.
These rings have different styles, some are simple and elegant, some are gorgeous and dazzling, and some are full of creativity and personality.
Xu Yuexi carefully selected each person based on their personality and preferences before finalizing their decision.
When Tang Liuqing and the others received this gift, they were all extremely surprised.
However, when they opened the small ring box, they were all dumbfounded. What was this? They had never seen it before!
Ying Zhiyao asked first.
"My wife, what is this? Where did you get it?"
"This is called a ring. It represents the promise of love and is a token of love between a husband and wife. You are both my husbands, one for each of you. I want to tie you down. As for where I got it, it's a secret!"
Xu Yuexi explained with a smile, and then put on the rings for them one by one. Of course, during this process she did not forget to educate them on some knowledge about rings and the meanings of different ways of wearing them.
When everyone put on their own ring, they were pleasantly surprised to find that each ring was unique! This shows the good intentions of the gift giver.
Knowing the meaning of the ring and seeing the wife attach so much importance to it, everyone was deeply moved, and the slight regret and loss were instantly filled.
When Ouyang Xingchen saw the painting prepared by Xu Yuexi, his eyes flashed with great surprise and emotion.
He looked at his portrait and felt Xu Yuexi's care and love. He really didn't expect Xu Yuexi's painting skills to be so amazing. Such a woman would be his wife, he was so happy.
Deeply moved, Ouyang Xingchen stepped forward, held Xu Yuexi's hand and said affectionately: "Princess, I, Ouyang Xingchen, will never let you down in this life!"
"Okay, I believe you!"
The preparations for the wedding were proceeding intensely and orderly. The day before the wedding, Ouyang Xingchen took Xu Yuexi, her brother and their husbands to Youlin Villa.
Youlin Villa is very close to Piaomiao Pavilion headquarters, just half a day's journey away.
After arriving at Youlin Villa and having dinner, Xu Yuexi went to bed early to prepare for the wedding tomorrow.
