Bab 589: Handing over the betrothal gifts

People were discussing outside. They saw boxes filled with betrothal gifts carried into the Lin residence and gasped with admiration at its large scale. There were a hundred boxes of betrothal gifts. It made them really excited! 

Inside, except the main personnel of the Lin Residence, womenfolk were not able to enter the hall. The guards were ordered to clear out some space. The hundred boxes of betrothal gifts were placed in the courtyard in front of the hall first. The boxes were filled to the brim with betrothal gifts, cramming the whole courtyard. The sight made many of the women overcome with envy. 

In the hall, Lin Boheng, the Lin Patriarch, occupied the main seat, while Feng Jiu and Old Patriarch Geng sat at the first and second position. Lin Chengzhi sat at one level lower. At Lin Boheng's right were the clan's elders and his other sons.
