759: Chapter 499 759: Chapter 499 Jiang Tang then received services from other women, with prepared meals available for breakfast, even feeding him.
At times, Jiang Tang felt this life was perfect, not unlike that of an emperor.
With his current cultivation, he technically didn’t need to eat meals, as consuming too much of the outside world’s food would lead to toxins.
But he no longer cared about these toxins, for just by smelling the scent of the Vitality Pill, the toxins in his body would be eliminated.
After breakfast, Jiang Tang took the beautiful women to the courtyard where Yan Weiwei lived.
Yan Weiwei’s engagement banquet was arranged with great pomp.
Friends from the General’s Mansion and relatives came to offer their congratulations.
As the fiancee engaged to be married, Yan Weiwei received the blessings of relatives and friends within her own courtyard.
Jiang Tang was very satisfied with the engagement outfit Yan Weiwei wore, though it was not prepared by Ye Tian.
He had his subordinates prepare it yesterday—the full set including dress, shoes, and jewelry.
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin felt that today’s bride-to-be was dressed in a very noble fashion, and they, as sons from noble clans, had a discerning eye.
Ye Tian waited in the main hall, awaiting the arrival of more friends.
Tang Feiyang, a friend from the younger generation, also came to congratulate him today.
And he brought with him a gift.
“Ye Tian, congratulations, you really work fast!”
“Mm, thank you!”
Ye Tian then received blessings and gifts from some of the younger crowd.
He began exchanging gifts with some of the young people, personally delivering the bridal gifts to the courtyard where Yan Weiwei lived.
Apart from the group of young people, there was also a couple who served as matchmakers.
Yan Weiwei waited in her own courtyard, accompanied by Cai Xiangxiang and Jiang Tang’s several girlfriends.
Ye Tian came to pick her up, bringing with him the bridal gifts.
The list of gifts, once read out loud, made Yan Weiwei’s parents think that the arrangement was quite grand.
They had thought that with the items Jiang Tang had given their daughter, her dowry was already comparable to that of a princess.
The grandeur could match the procession of a bridegroom traveling ten miles.
When they heard the list of bridal gifts given by the Ye Family, they were astonished by the amount—something they did not expect.
In giving birth and raising children, they had never imagined their daughter would receive such a generous dowry.
When marrying off their two daughters-in-law, they themselves had only given a dowry of two silvers and some other gifts.
Yan Weiwei’s dowry and bridal gifts were so abundant that her sisters-in-law and sister-in-law-to-be felt the difference, as they had not received nearly as much, coming from a peasant background and never having witnessed such a grand spectacle.
Ye Tian’s additional bridal gifts were not carried by hand, but were unique to those in the Cultivation World, where a few Storage Bags could hold many, many gifts.
When it was time to read the list of items, they did not need to display the gifts but simply handed over the few Storage Bags to Yan Weiwei’s parents.
Yan Weiwei’s parents would not take her bridal gifts, as they were not the ones providing the dowry; hence, they would not receive them.
The Storage Bags with the bridal gifts were handed to Yan Weiwei.
Yan Weiwei let her parents and brothers take care of them, as it was not easy for her parents to raise her to adulthood; she did not care about the material wealth, as it was all about the formality.
With Ye Tian gifting so generously, many followed him aside from the younger group and the matchmaker, including onlookers curious about the event.
The men had set out with many bridal gifts, and people were already curious about what the bride’s dowry would be.
As Yan Weiwei’s parents took custody of the bridal gifts for safekeeping,
They handed over the few Storage Bags prepared for Yan Weiwei’s dowry and additions to the trousseau to Yan Weiwei.
The list of the dowry items was also on top.
After hearing the Ye Family manager read the list of bridal gifts, everyone was dumbfounded.
Within it were gold and silver treasures, as well as Spirit Stones, Pills, and Magical Treasures favored by people in the Cultivation World.
There were even common items that seemed ordinary to those in the Cultivation World, such as bedding, furniture, fabrics, and jewelry.
The few Storage Bags that Yan Weiwei’s parents brought out represented the bride’s dowry, and Ye Tian had long arranged for a manager to overlook the bride’s side of things and to read the dowry list.
The string of large figures caught everyone by surprise, as no one expected a commoner bride to have such a vast dowry.
How many times greater was it than the dowries of some rich family’s daughters?
A ten-mile bridal procession wouldn’t be excessive.
While other people usually send their dowries and betrothal gifts to each other’s residences, this couple was a bit special, as the groom’s dowry was sent to the courtyard where the bride resided.
In the same residence, the bride’s family also presented their dowry in the courtyard where they lived.
Although the guests were friends and relatives from both sides, most of them were young people.
Some who loved to watch the excitement also came to observe.
But these events were not conducted in the family’s largest living room.
Those who were involved in listing the gifts and dowries couldn’t help but speculate.
The groom had given so many betrothal gifts, yet the bride’s side were commoners, so why did they have so many dowries?
The dowry from the bride’s side included gold and silver jewelry, Spirit Stones, Magical Treasures, and items and materials used by Cultivation World personnel.
There were even some furnishings and items that were exclusive to the royal families.
Some were even from foreign royal families.
People only heard the list being read and hadn’t seen the actual dowry items, and they were very curious about the true nature of these dowry goods.
Especially when they heard that the list included the most popular Spirit Pills in the Cultivation World, like the Life Spirit Pills and Nourishing Soul Pills.
How could such valuable items be part of the dowry?
Just one of these Supreme Elixirs was incredibly valuable, something that people in the Cultivation World would rob or spend all their wealth to purchase.
Why did this girl possess so many precious elixirs?
There were 100 Vitality Pills and 100 Nourishing Soul Pills.
Some wanted a glimpse of these Supreme Elixirs, as not every cultivator was so wealthy or had so many resources to give.
The Young General from a great clan was marrying a commoner girl who surprisingly had such a large dowry and resources.
The daughters and sons of Capital City who came for the spectacle were all flabbergasted.
Ye Tian, the Young General from the Guardian God Family, was getting married.
Although it was just an engagement, many girls in Capital City were secretly heartbroken.
Such a talented and capable man was actually marrying a commoner girl.
How could this girl compare to them, the daughters of wealthy families and Official Families?
In their hearts, the man they admired was marrying someone else, and many had come today specifically to gawk.
They were waiting for the commoner girl to fail to present a dowry so they could ridicule her.
Harboring such thoughts, many daughters, both invited and uninvited, came specifically to attend.
Yan Weiwei’s beauty was dismissed by others as mere decoration, and in comparison with the women of the world, this future bride seemed rather ordinary.
She couldn’t compare to the daughters of many Noble Clans; the girls who liked Ye Tian all thought so.
Now seeing the list of dowries presented by Yan Weiwei with so many resources and valuable goods,
they assumed that Ye Tian had specially arranged these dowries for her in his family.
“Wow, the bride has so many dowries.
Could we have a look?”
The speaker was the daughter of a high minister.
Just now, when Ye Tian’s family presented the betrothal gifts, someone only read the list and didn’t display the items, yet no one doubted it.
Many were envious and jealous of Ye Tian’s display of wealth but didn’t question the authenticity of the list.
That Yan Weiwei, a commoner girl, could have such an abundant dowry was something many daughters of attached families and officials did not believe.
Some kept silent, while others boldly voiced their doubts.
Yan Weiwei and her parents just watched, and they were not troubled since they also hadn’t seen the dowry.
All these items were prepared by Jiang Tang for them.
Yan Weiwei and her family trusted that since Jiang Tang had made the list so grand, the items must be real.
Some people were making life difficult for Yan Weiwei, and Ye Tian watched with a dark expression as those proud, beautiful, and wealthy ladies, who in his eyes were no more than maid-servants, perhaps even less, for their family.
Jiang Tang’s expression also turned sour when others made things difficult for Yan Weiwei.
How could he let others trouble his senior sister?
He took mental note of the faces and words of these women.
“What’s the matter?
Are they not fit to be seen?
Isn’t a dowry meant to be seen?
I, as a princess, want to see if this list for the Young General’s marriage to a simple commoner girl is true or not!”
Suddenly, a woman’s voice interrupted, and all the women turned to look at the newcomer.
Ye Tian, seeing the arrival of this woman, was annoyed and wished he could knock her away with a slap.
“Didn’t you hear our princess speaking?” the eunuch at the princess’s side said in a high-pitched voice.
In the eunuch’s voice, there was arrogance and threat!
