Chapter 1596 Sending the Dowry

Wei Ronghua asked someone to inquire with the shop assistant at that store, and they actually got some information.

It is said that the shop not only lost money during the promotion, but also received a lot of complaints. That night, the shop owner was severely scolded by his boss.

Shu Yu just smiled when she heard this. How could organizing an event be so easy?

Simply choosing prizes that wouldn't result in a loss, were expensive, and needed to satisfy everyone was enough to make her lose a lot of her hair.

Fortunately, the people around her were young and resourceful. By pooling their wisdom and offering suggestions, they managed to save the other half of her hair.

After nearly a week of steady development, Lu Ji Shop has gotten back on track.

I'll leave this to Manager Wei; Shu Yu plans to return to the county town.

After leaving the city, she first went to see Lady Xiao.

As expected, Madam Xiao inquired about the situation in the capital again. Shu Yu could only tell her, "We have received a reply from the capital, and everything is fine. However, Xiang Weinan hasn't sent a letter yet. He's currently being watched by the Xiao family, so it's not advisable for him to contact us too much, lest he expose you."

Madam Xiao immediately tensed up, "He's being watched by the Xiao family? Why would the Xiao family be watching him out of the blue?"

"Don't worry, the Xiao family just wants to win him over. Before, with you as a bridge, the Xiao family felt that the Xiang family naturally belonged to their side. Now that you've 'passed away,' the Xiao family still doesn't want to give up the marriage with the Xiang family, so they will naturally keep a closer eye on him."

Hearing this, Madam Xiao felt slightly relieved. "There won't be any danger, will there?"

"You know Xiang Weinan's abilities. Besides, he's not fighting alone in the capital, so don't worry."

Xiao thought about it and agreed, especially since she couldn't help him much here, so she could only silently pray that he would be safe and sound.

Shu Yu talked to her for a while and then left.

By the time I got home, it was almost dark.

The old lady wasn't home; Shuyou said she had returned to Shangshi Village this morning. Wedding arrangements are complicated. Although Li had already married off one of her daughters, things were different back then. In the early years, the Lu family wasn't well-off, and many wedding procedures were omitted.

Now that Lan Hua is getting married, the Lu family is no longer what it used to be, so all the proper ceremonies must be held. The old lady is quite old, and she is well aware of many customs and traditions.

So I went back to help early.

As for them, we can go early tomorrow morning.

Shu You said to Shu Yu, "I won't be able to attend Lan Hua's wedding. Please deliver her dowry to her in my stead."

Shu You is pregnant, and these days pregnant women are not allowed to attend weddings.

Shu Yu didn't care about this custom; how many brides these days get married while pregnant? But others didn't think so, especially Li Shi, who had brought it up openly and subtly before.

Although Shu You regrets not being able to attend her cousin's wedding, she is about to give birth, and with so many people coming and going at the wedding, she doesn't dare to take the risk of bumping into someone.

On the morning of the sixth day, the day for sending the dowry was to be delivered.

The bride's family will carry the dowry to the groom's house the day before the wedding, and they will air out the dowry along the way.

Therefore, Shu Yu took her family back to Shangshi Village early in the morning.

The Li family clearly made a big fuss; the carriage had barely arrived at the village entrance early in the morning when the joyful voices of children could be heard.

"We're eating wedding candy and cakes! Sister Lan Hua's wedding candy and cakes are so delicious!"

When the carriage arrived outside the Lu family mansion, the entrance was packed with people.
