"Mm-hmm!" Liu Tinglan nodded repeatedly, her mood immediately lifting.
...
As a bridesmaid, Mo Yan was to accompany the bride for the entire night before the wedding. Thus, on the nineteenth day of March, she arrived early at the Liu Family with two gifts in hand. One was a congratulatory present for the Cui family on the following day, and the other was to contribute to Liu Tinglan's dowry.
The congratulatory gift for the Cui family was a wooden box containing a pair of jade pendants. The jade used was previously awarded to her by Emperor Huian, and being an imperial gift, it was naturally of considerable value. She selected a whole piece of high-quality green jade and commissioned a master from Silver Tower to craft a pair of double-fish jade pendants, which were very suitable for a newly married couple.
