[stiltonbasket]

JC finally gets his act together and gets married? yzh and wwx are being little shits and giving him all sorts of embarrassing advice on being married. they're very proud of him and it shows, but they're going to roast the hell out of him. Jiang-furen shows up at some point and watches with xianxia popcorn.

Lan Wangji is also there with xianxia popcorn (aka, popped lotus seeds fried in oil and spices) to educate Jiang Cheng about remodeling an existing residence to accommodate a wife + children. Along with the popped lotus seeds, he brings the newlyweds a set of before-and-after blueprints of the Jingshi and a book about extending rooms built over water, so that Jiang-furen can pick a layout for Lihua's new bedroom.

what were the dowry/gifts that wwx got for his wedding in twelve moons?

Wei Wuxian's dowry (in the sense of gifts/household items to be used by the spouse marrying into their partner's family) was mostly put together by Lan Wangji, Nie Huaisang, and Jiang Cheng, and consisted of the following items.

From Lan Wangji:

Half a share in the Jingshi, plus new furniture for the house.

A piece of cultivated property set aside for Wei Wuxian’s personal use (i.e., the produce field and the lotus pond). Lan Wangji cleared the land for the produce field and dug the pond himself, and planted lotuses and vegetables with the help of the juniors.

A workshop (the Jishi.)

A money gift

A second money gift, in the form of an inheritance set aside for Xiao-Yu.

Gold jewelry (the three lotus combs Wei Wuxian received during the introductory arc.)

From Nie Huaisang:

More gold jewelry (the sunburst comb, two lantern-shaped hairpins, and a set of eight bangles.)

Eleven sets of silk clothes, plus Wei Wuxian’s wedding robes.

From Jiang Cheng:

New silk and cotton bedding

Two tea sets (one for the tea ceremony at the wedding, and one for daily use)

Two sets of bowls and chopsticks

A sewing kit

Baby essentials (aka gifts for Xiao-Yu, plus an infant-sized bathtub and cloth to make new baby clothes for future children.)

Five jars of Yunmeng-made wine

Jade figurines and jewelry (hairpins, bangles, earrings, etc.)

A nine treasures set, containing a scale, a mirror, a basket of dried/preserved food, sewing scissors, embroidered slippers, a comb, a ruler, an abacus, and a dowry chest to carry everything in.

Red packets

He also received smaller gifts from the rest of his relatives (such as a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets from Lan Qiren and a set of herbs and household medicines + an instruction book from Jiang-furen) but these were counted as wedding gifts, and not household gifts/dowry.
