In ancient times, dowry was the most important factor for Han people to send their daughters to get married. Bureaucratic families, in particular, are not only better than sedan chairs, but also depend on whose dowry is more. These dowries are usually packed in wooden boxes painted red, and the big pieces that can't fit are directly painted with red paint.
Wealthy families will try their best to bring more dowry for their daughters' worries in the future. These items include not only big boxes and cabinets, but also shoes, socks, clothes, bedding cloth, and even small games such as needles, threads and brains. It is no exaggeration to say that you moved from your small family. There are so many things and so many people at the farewell party, which looks red from a distance. So the ancients exaggerated, saying that the length of dowry together can reach ten miles, which became the origin of "ten-mile red makeup"
The official position of the maiden family is higher than that of the Sheng family, and the income is also high. In ord to make that girl in this office comfortable, I even put twenty miles of red makeup on her. Only in this way can Hualan get married and make up the scale of "ten miles of red makeup". Lin Xiao's maiden has already declined, and following Yi Sheng is simply from hell to heaven. Only by the pity of her husband's family can she have a small industry. Where did she get so much dowry for Moran to make up for the gap in family status?
