Qin Lin paid no more attention to the mess surrounding the traditional medicine families.
Now he was too busy dealing with things between Zhao Moqing and himself.
Uncle Shuigen had already picked a date for the betrothal ceremony. Before then, Qin Lin took his mother back to their old home to pay respects to their ancestors and forebears before the ceremony.
That was the custom where they lived.
When the day of the ceremony arrived, Zhao Moqing went through the motions too. She temporarily separated from him and returned to the Zhao Family.
At the ceremony, they changed all the jewelry listed on the formal gift list, along with its prices and the betrothal gifts. They replaced them with ordinary gold jewelry and a standard 88,888 yuan, an auspicious amount.
That was what Chen Xiao and Zhao Xianhong had requested.
The first time the couple discussed it, they had been startled by the jade jewelry on the list.
A bracelet worth thirty million yuan would make the Zhao Family the talk of the town.
But the couple didn't want that kind of attention. If their relatives, friends, and neighbors found out, the news might spread and disturb their ordinary lives.
So Qin Lin could simply give the things to Moqing privately. The list could show a different set of gifts for outsiders to see.
Since his mother-in-law and father-in-law had made their wishes clear, Qin Lin naturally agreed.
After the ceremony came the welcoming, serving tea, introductions, changing forms of address, putting on rings, and setting the wedding date.
These steps weren't all carried out on the same day, either. First, the groom's family had to visit the bride's family, then the bride's family visited the groom's. The whole complicated process took half a month to complete.
