Liu Rumei shook her head, "Of course I need to buy some of this, but I also need to buy some coarse cloth. You can't wear this when working in the village."
Xiao Qing looked at Liu Rumei in surprise, "Miss, you don't really want to get married, do you? Chen Xiaobei won't say anything, you're just pretending."
Liu Rumei looked at Xiao Qing and said, "Now that we have passed, we must live our lives with Brother Xiaobei sincerely."
"Although I, Liu Rumei, am not a seven-foot-tall man, my words are like spitting and nailing. Although the emperor granted me the marriage, to be honest, being able to marry Chen Xiaobei is considered a blessing for me, Liu Rumei, in this life."
"Besides, if it wasn't to save us, why would Chen Xiaobei put down the altar? If he didn't put down the altar, how could something happen to Huang Ying? So Huang Ying died to save us, so I will take care of Chen Xiaobei for Huang Ying. Xiaobei."
Xiaoqing watched Liu Rumei speak impassionedly, but felt inexplicably worried in her heart.
Can Liu Rumei endure the suffering of the mountain village?
But it was obvious that these issues were no longer what she was thinking about now.
After lunch, almost all the Liu family went out and started shopping in the capital.
Liu Rumei took Xiao Qing from house to house, visiting almost all the rouge and gouache shops on the street.
Soon the news that Liu Rumei was getting married spread.
In the evening, the news reached Xiao Jingyun's ears.
Hearing the news, Xiao Jamyun felt sad for a while.
He let out a long sigh.
"It's my Xiao family who can't stand up to the Liu family. I will definitely vindicate Liu Aiqing after I ascend the throne."
After speaking, he looked at his guard captain Zhou Quan and said, "Go to the warehouse and pick some decent ones. I will deliver them in person tomorrow."
Zhou Quan agreed, turned around and walked out. With little effort, he turned around and walked in again.
"Your Highness, you received a letter from our people from Centipede Ridge in Qingniu County, asking if the people they sent have arrived?"
Jamel Xiao frowned.
"When did Centipede Ridge send someone over?"
"Your Highness, have you forgotten? We received a letter a few days ago. It said that Her Royal Highness the Princess had captured two spies from the Dalin Kingdom. It said that there was the latest news about Zhu Meng. The Princess killed one and the other. I sent someone to take him to the capital."
Jamel Xiao then slapped the table.
"Yes, I remembered what you said."
"It must be five or six days anyway."
Zhou Quan nodded, "Yes, it must be at least six days. Calculated according to the distance, even if we go out in the morning and stay in a hotel at night, we should be there."
Jamel Xiao nodded, "This person is very important. You can take people to meet him along the way. Be sure to bring him back safely."
"Then your Highness, give it to Miss Liu..." He was about to punch but hesitated, Xiao Jingyun waved his hand.
"I'll do this myself." Xiao Jamyun waved his hand after saying that, and then stood up on his own.
Zhou Quan immediately bowed and retreated.
In the evening, Xiao Jingyun had already led the cavalry to the door of Liu Rumei's house.
Liu Rumei and Liu Yuanwen had been waiting at the door early. When they saw Xiao Jamyun coming, they hurried forward, lifted up their clothes and were about to kneel down. Xiao Jamyun stepped forward and held their arms.
"Okay, you two don't need to be polite. We are all acquaintances, so let's avoid these clichés."
Liu Rumei and Liu Yuanwen stepped aside respectfully, asked Jamel Xiao to go first, invited him to the living room, and then ordered tea to be served.
Xiao Jingyun waved his hand, "Tea is waived. I'll sit down for a while and then leave. Brother Xiaobei will be here soon to welcome the bride. These are my thoughts."
As Xiao Jingyun said this, he waved, and a young eunuch stepped forward and handed a gift list to Liu Yuanwen.
Liu Yuanwen took it with both hands without looking at it, put it on the table, stood up and bowed to Xiao Jingyun again, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My sister-in-law's marriage is a trivial matter. It's really a shame to alarm Your Highness."
Xiao Jingyun waved his hand, "The Liu family has made great contributions to our Dacang country, and Rumei has also fought with me in the north and south. I don't think these are much at all. I will tell my father tomorrow to ask him to add some more rewards."
Hearing this, Liu Rumei quickly stood up and saluted Xiao Jingyun, "Your Highness, you absolutely cannot do this. Your Majesty, the old man has so many things to do, how can you bother him with such trivial matters anymore."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. My father, I specifically told me that when you get married, you will definitely be rewarded. It will be worthy of the old Marquis's lifelong service to the country."
Liu Yuanwen and Liu Rumei thanked them again, and Xiao Jingyun said a few more words before standing up and leaving.
After sending Prince Xiao Jingyun all the way out of the gate, and watching him turn out of the street, Liu Yuanwen's smile disappeared.
Then he snorted coldly, "Why are you so hypocritical? Our father has already shaved his head and became a monk, and today he comes here to talk about this."
Liu Rumei also sighed slightly, "Brother, there is no need to worry about these things now. I am thinking that after I get married, if you are willing, you can dispose of the family property here and leave the capital."
Liu Yuanwen shook his head, "No, I won't go. I want to stay here. If my father returns to secular life one day, I can pick him up."
Liu Rumei looked at her brother, not knowing whether to admire or feel distressed.
I admire my brother's persistence and feel a little sorry for him. I don't know what will happen if he stays. Maybe only his father can persuade him, but if he wants to see his father, it is harder than climbing to the sky.
At this time, in the palace, after dinner, Xiao An took Xiao Shunzi for a walk in the back garden.
Although it's early winter, it's not too cold yet, so it's relatively comfortable to do a little exercise after dinner.
Xiao An walked in front, and beside him was Xiao Shunzi who was reporting all the news he had heard. At this time, he could talk about some anecdotes other than national affairs, which could be considered as a way to relieve the emperor's boredom.
As he was talking, he saw another rush of footsteps, and Bai Han hurried over.
"Your Majesty, news came in from outside just now. Liu Rumei is already buying supplies on a large scale. In addition, His Highness the Crown Prince also went to give Liu Rumei a congratulatory gift before eating."
Hearing the news, Xiao An couldn't help but frowned, "You mean Jingyun went there in person?"
Bai Han nodded, "Back to the emperor, that's exactly what it is."
Xiao An sighed, "This Jingyun can't keep his temper at all. As a prince, how can he send it off in person?"
"Your Majesty, how about I go and tell His Highness..." Bai Han looked at the response.
Xiao An nodded, "You have to tell him the rules. If you want to send gifts in the future, you have to check the other person's identity."
"The Liu family is just a commoner now. How can the dignified prince of the country come to congratulate him in person? It is already a great gift to send someone to send him."
