Chapter 1204 - 101: The Wang Family Rises to Rank 5! Lici’s Gift
The investment projects he currently has at hand, which one isn’t about throwing out hundreds of thousands or even millions of money at a time? What use is that bit of allowance?
As for the household generals... The rise of the Wang Family has been so rapid. Even though the Wang Family has been dedicated to cultivating talent over the years, and indeed, they have trained a fine batch of household generals, the scale is still much smaller than that of an average Fifth-Grade Noble Family, and not even comparable to some longstanding Sixth-Grade Noble Families.
There are still many gaps to be filled~
Wang Shouzhe is only worried that there aren’t enough people, where is the need for those extra slots and formations?
Never mind~
Just as the Imperial Family’s wedding entourage arrived, the dowry ships that had been anchored at the Dingpu Ferry for many days finally began to unload the dowry.
These dowry ships are specially made, coated in red paint, looking very festive.
The two Little Commandery Princesses both have the potential of Great Celestial Pride. Their marriage specifications are extremely high, second only to a Princess’s wedding. Plus, both sides are secretly competing a bit, so the dowry is naturally extra large. The various brocades and jewelry alone filled several large carts, making it impractical to use flying chariots, so they could only be transported by ship in advance.
These dowry ships had already arrived over ten days ago, just waiting for the Cloud Ray Flying Ship to arrive to accompany the bride, and then the dowry would be loaded into the hand-carried sedan with gongs and drums and transported into the Wang Family.
The long line of dowry sedans extended from the ferry all the way to the square in front of the Wang Family’s Main Residence, taking nearly an hour to transport all the dowry, almost filling the square to capacity.
Such a scale and quantity of dowry is extremely rare throughout the entire Daqian, causing a great sensation for a time.
Not only were the guests present, who witnessed it firsthand, greatly shocked, but even ordinary people watching the excitement from afar near the ferry or across the river were not lightly shaken and couldn’t help but talk about it endlessly in front of their families when they returned home.
Very quickly, the matter spread rapidly within the Longzuo County and gradually to the entire Daqian.
In the decades that followed, every time people encountered grand wedding occasions in the various noble families of Longzuo County, they couldn’t help but bring up this wedding, mentioning this grand scale of dowry procession, and talking about it with pride.
With the dowry in place, it was time for Wang Anye’s formal marriage ceremony.
The principal grandson of the direct lineage of a noble family getting married naturally involves a set of complex rituals, so the excess scenes will not be elaborated further.
Under the grand gathering of guests, the Shouzhe couple, Zong’an couple, and Shizhao couple all sat in the main hall, waiting for Wang Anye and the two Little Commandery Princesses to offer tea and perform the ritual of greeting.
Wang Anye led the two brides, first paying respects to the Shouzhe couple who sat at the main seat facing south.
Although they still retained the appearance of a young man and a beautiful lady, they were already the family’s ancestors, having a large number of descendants from their bloodline under them.
Liua Ruolan was very happy today, her pretty face radiant, holding the hands of the two brides to help them rise. While speaking, she slipped two large red envelopes representing good wishes into their hands.
"Thank you, Great Grandmother." Wu Yiluo and Wu Xue Ning hurriedly performed the salute.
"Anye, from today on, you are truly an adult." Wang Shouzhe said solemnly, admonishing Wang Anye, "You must bear the responsibility of the family’s great endeavor and take care of your own little family. Yiluo and Xue Ning, both embody the gathering of the talents of heaven and earth. You should live well with them, fulfilling the responsibilities of a husband and, in the future, a father."
"Yes, Great Grandfather." Wang Anye said seriously.
Then the three of them separately paid respects to the Zong’an couple and the Shizhao couple.
As grandparents and parents, the four naturally gave their best wishes and also admonished Wang Anye.
After the ceremony.
The traditional banquet began in the Wang Family’s Main Residence.
At this moment.
As the maternal family of Wang Anye, the Qiaan Family, led by Patriarch Qiaan Xuehan, presented the three of Wang Anye’s couple with the gifts of elders.
The Qiaan Family was originally famous for its wealth, and after cooperating with the Wang Family for such a long time, they had accumulated abundant wealth. They already had two Purple Mansion Realm ancestors and were ready to advance to a Fourth-Grade Noble Family.
With Wang Anye marrying two Little Commandery Princesses at once, the Qiaan Family naturally shared in the glory, hence they were not stingy in their gifts.
For each Little Commandery Princess, a gift of ten million Qian Gold, showcasing Qiaan Family’s impressive financial power.
This naturally caused a sensation, even many in the Imperial Family couldn’t help but take notice of the Qiaan Family.
If it were two million in family assets, members of the Imperial Family wouldn’t even take a look. But directly giving out a total of twenty million Qian Gold as a gift was different; it indicated that the Qiaan Family’s funds were very abundant.
This family might not escape becoming a Fourth-Grade Noble Family in the future.
Subsequently, Prince Wu Dianshan and Commandery Governor Taishi An Kang also presented gifts of elders to Anye’s couple, the total value reaching several million Qian Gold.
Thereafter, Wang Yuchang, the Patriarch of the Daqian Wang Family, also represented the main vein to present a gift of elders, which was a Divine Power Profound Origin Shield Talisman that had been passed down from the Wang Family’s ancestors. Once crushed, it could raise a Profound Yuan Shield capable of resisting a full-force strike from a Divine Power Realm Cultivator, regarded as an excellent life-saving artifact.
This kind of treasure requires a Divine Power Realm Cultivator to make before their death, leaving some bottom cards and legacy for their descendants, even the Daqian Wang Family doesn’t have much in stock.
