The cannon fodder female supporting role is busy in the book, and she gets mad when she disagrees wi

Fang Ruoruo was pregnant, and in order to avoid giving people a chance to talk about her after she revealed her pregnancy, the emperor asked them to get married within seven days.

Therefore, both the Third Prince's Palace and the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Palace began to make intensive preparations.

Although the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion had been preparing a dowry for Fang Ruoruo a long time ago, the actual implementation still seemed very hasty.

After all, marriage is not just about dowry.

According to the rules, the bride should embroider her wedding dress and veil herself to show her anticipation and importance for the wedding. However, if it is a prince marrying a wife, the bride does not have to embroider it herself and the Imperial Household Department can prepare it for her.

But in the current situation, it would definitely be too late for Fang Ruoruo to embroider it herself, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not prepared.

In desperation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs could only take out a wedding dress that had been embroidered but not used before, modify it to suit Fang Ruoruo's body shape, and use it as a makeshift.

But these embroidered wedding dresses were not perfect. They were discarded because the embroiderers of the Imperial Household Department made mistakes in the process of making them, which caused them to have flaws.

Therefore, Fang Ruoruo's wedding dress was extremely shabby.

It neither fits nor is it perfect, and since it wasn't tailor-made, it looks out of place on her.

The same goes for the Third Prince’s wedding attire.

Even though the Third Prince had Concubine Shu to take care of his affairs, no one expected that he would get married so soon.

Therefore, on the first day of the first lunar month, the people of the capital saw a very strange wedding:

The bridal sedan was old, the wedding dress didn't fit, the man didn't give any betrothal gifts, but the woman's dowry was a huge amount of red makeup.

Someone asked out of curiosity:

"Is this a daughter of a wealthy family marrying down? Bringing a generous dowry to help the poor?"

It's like a person's body is not open to people.

This marriage became a hot topic of conversation among the people of the capital for some time to come.

***

It is very cold in winter and people generally don’t like to go out, so the capital city is a little deserted during the New Year.

Shi Lidie had no relatives or friends in the capital, so her interactions during the New Year holidays were simple. She only visited the Chen and Pei families during the first month of the lunar year.

She spent the rest of her time huddled in the county lady's mansion, wrapped in a blanket, warming herself by the stove, and completing the piano practice task assigned by Aya.

The days passed leisurely and the fifteenth day passed in a flash.

After the Lantern Festival, the Chinese New Year is over. People who have been staying at home during the winter go out one after another, some go to work, some go to school, and the capital city slowly becomes lively again.

And on this day, a carriage stopped at the gate of the county lady's mansion.

A servant jumped off the carriage, knocked on the door of the county lady's mansion, handed over a visiting card, and said to the doorman of the county lady's mansion: "Please inform the second son of the Cui family in Luoyun Town that he is here to see the county lady Yun'an."

That’s right, the person sitting in this carriage is Cui Yuwei, the second son of the Cui family in Luoyun Town.

The doorman of the County Lady's Mansion knew that Shi Lidie came from Luoyun Town, and did not dare to neglect her, so he hurried to report it. After getting Shi Lidie's reply, he invited Cui Yuwei in.

Cui Yuwei, accompanied by two servants and carrying large and small bags of things, entered the county lady's mansion.

Shi Lidie had been waiting in the main hall. When Cui Yuwei arrived, she asked the maid to serve tea:

"Mr. Cui, you have come from afar, what a rare guest."

Cui Yuwei smiled and said:

"I am not a rare guest. I am just an old friend visiting. Please don't think I am being presumptuous, Miss Shi."

"How come?" Shi Lidie invited Cui Yuwei to sit down, and then started talking to him, "Second Master Cui, you came to the capital this time for the Spring Examination in March, right?"

Cui Yuwei nodded and said:

"That's right. After all these years of studying hard, it's time to see the results. I have to thank Miss Shi for her help in the past, which gave me the opportunity to go to Beijing to take the exam. Otherwise, I would have been buried in a foreign land long ago."

Upon hearing this, Shi Lidie waved her hand and said, "Your brother has already thanked you for this matter, so there is no need to mention it again."

Cui Yuwei smiled and brought up another topic:

"By the way, Miss Shi, I'm visiting you today. Besides having just arrived in the capital and coming to see an old friend and give him some New Year gifts, I'm also asked to bring you some things."

As he spoke, he asked two servants to bring the things over.

Among these things, there are visiting gifts prepared by Cui Yuwei himself, gifts prepared by the Cui family, and even local specialties brought by neighbors from Luoyun Town.

It was filled with a lot of gifts, all of which were expressions of concern and care for Shi Lidie from her fellow villagers.

Afterwards, Cui Yuwei took out another bundle, opened it, and handed it to Shi Lidie:

"Here are last year's general ledger and some banknotes. My eldest brother asked me to bring them here. He said that thanks to Miss Shi, our Cui family's Weixiangju authorized us to sell wine exclusively, and we made a lot of money. This is the year-end dividend."

Cui Yujie had sent someone to deliver the earnings for each quarter a long time ago, but the dividend had just been counted out. Coincidentally, Cui Yuwei was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination, so Cui Yujie asked him to bring it to him to avoid sending someone else on a separate trip.

Seeing this, Shi Lidie nodded and asked Huixiang to put away the account books and banknotes.

Then, Cui Yuwei took out a letter:

"This is the eldest brother of the Lu family from the tailor shop. He asked me to bring it to you."

Shi Lidie remembered that when the Cui family sent someone to reconcile the accounts, she had written a letter to the three members of the Lu family and Grandma Huang, inviting them to live in the capital.

After all, she has now established herself in the capital and opened a tavern. Even if she copies the old path of Luoyun Town, it would not be difficult to reopen a private custom shop.

Now that she has the emperor and the queen as her backers, she is still confident that she can protect them.

Shi Lidie couldn't wait to open the letter, glanced at it quickly, and then knew what the Lu couple was thinking -

They don't want to come.

Although the capital is good, Luoyun Town is not bad either. They escaped from their disaster-stricken hometown and traveled thousands of miles to Luoyun Town. They have long regarded this place as their home.

What's more, although the Lu family's roots are not in Luoyun Town, Granny Huang was born and raised in Luoyun Town.

The ancestral tomb of Grandma Huang's family and the grave of her son are all there, and she is unwilling to leave. Therefore, the filial couple of the Lu family are also unwilling to leave. They only say that they will stay in Luoyun Town to accompany Grandma Huang and take care of her in her old age and see her to the end of her life.

In the letter, the Lu couple also thanked Shi Lidie for the promotion, and said that they would continue to run the private customization business, saving most of the earnings and giving it to her in one lump sum when they had the chance in the future.

Shi Lidie finished reading the letter and sighed:

"They are unwilling to come to the capital. If they encounter any difficulties in the future, I will be unable to help them."

"Miss Shi, don't worry. The Cui family, Mr. Chen and the county magistrate are all taking care of them. Under normal circumstances, any difficulties will be easily resolved." Cui Yuwei said.

Shi Lidie nodded and said, "This is the only way for now."

After talking about serious matters, Cui Yuwei suddenly remembered some rumors he had heard and asked:

"I wonder if Miss Shi still remembers Song Miaomiao?"

Shi Lidie was stunned. Isn't this the heroine of the previous book "The Lucky Girl of the Farmer's Family"? Why did he mention her for no reason?
