Chapter 774 I Can Still Grow

The next day, just as dawn broke, light snow began to fall in Qincheng.

Lin Yuesha and Bai Cha discussed going to a shop selling oil tea noodles for morning tea, but before they could even leave, they were blocked in the courtyard by a group of people who swarmed in.

"Miss Lin, I am the manager of the wedding shop. We also have shop assistants from the fabric store, embroiderers, and jewelry shops. We've brought our best pieces for you to choose from."

An honest-looking old man snapped his fingers, and several men behind him carried in boxes one after another.

Xiao Qi deliberately stayed home and accompanied Lin Yuesha to make her selections.

"If we head northwest, there will be even fewer styles of fabrics and jewelry, not as complete as in Qin City. We'll buy them in Qin City and then go directly to the northwest camp to get married."

Xiao Qi felt a little excited. After the wedding ceremony, Lin Yuesha would be his wife. As for how to explain his identity when it was exposed, that would be a headache for later. Right now, he had to establish a proper status. The status of a fiancé was not as reliable as that of a husband.

"The war in the Northwest is raging, so let's keep things simple."

Lin Yuesha was puzzled. Even if it was just an act, there was no need to go to such lengths in every aspect; enough was enough.

Therefore, when choosing jewelry and other items, the most important thing is to create a festive atmosphere, and there is no particular requirement for whether the style is exquisite.

She had chosen the fabric and was about to discuss the size of the wedding dress with the embroiderer when she saw the pockmarked man still standing there. She shooed him away, saying, "Aren't you busy with something else?"

The King of Luo was waiting for the antidote to save his life; as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he could not give up.

The pockmarked woman didn't seem to care much, feeling carefree. By the time she arrived in the Northwest, the Prince of Luo's wish would only become his last.

After driving away all the bystanders, Lin Yuesha and the embroiderer went inside to take measurements. The embroiderer, along with the others, worked together to quickly make Lin Yuesha's wedding dress, which could be completed in as little as two days.

"Miss Lin, you are so lucky to have married such a considerate man as Mr. Qi."

The embroiderer was a woman in her thirties who praised the pockmarked man highly. Looking around, there were few men who could be so meticulous; most were carefree and thought that everything would be fine once they married a wife.

"My husband doesn't even bother to pick up the oil bottle when it falls over."

The embroiderer sighed, emphasizing how important it is for a woman to marry a considerate man in her life. "Just now, I was observing from the side, and Young Master Qi's eyes never left you."

"Cough cough."

Lin Yuesha choked on her tea and coughed twice. The embroiderer was exaggerating; she was just putting on an act to match the pockmarked face. To make it more realistic, he certainly couldn't go along with it too much.

Furthermore, the two were engaged, but she had not yet reached marriageable age, and the war in the Northwest caused the marriage to be postponed indefinitely.

"A woman's marriage is a major event, and her wedding dress must be beautiful. Please feel free to make any requests you may have."

Young Master Qi was very generous, and the embroiderer was thrilled to have taken on this job, so she treated Lin Yuesha extremely well.

"Hmm, could you lengthen the waistline a bit, create a defined waistline, and accentuate the figure?"

The wedding attire in the capital had already been modified, but it had not yet been passed down from Qincheng. When Lin Yuesha saw the wedding attire, she found it to be loose and oversized, just like a theatrical costume. She was afraid that if she put it on, she would get too into character and start singing a little tune in her haste.

"You speak eloquently, and every word you utter is a joke."

The embroiderer smiled and agreed. The people of Qincheng were rather conservative; they already had fitted jackets, but they didn't make any major changes to their wedding attire, fearing it would diminish the sense of ceremony.

The embroiderer designed a wedding dress for Lin Yuesha on the spot. After the two discussed it, Lin Yuesha said uncomfortably, "Please make the size a little looser at the chest."

"But……"

The embroiderer hesitated. If the area around the chest was loosened and baggy, it would lose the effect that Lin Yuesha wanted.

Besides, the little girl has a flat chest, so loose clothing is even less suitable for her.

The embroiderer stammered, which only made Lin Yuesha more furious. She paused for a moment and explained to herself, "There's still some time before the wedding. I can still grow up."

Embroiderer: ...

Whoever pays the bill is the master, and the embroiderer stopped arguing.

After seeing the person off, Lin Yuesha called to Longjing, "Longjing, remember, I need to drink herbal medicine every day!"

Hmph, one or two of them, who do they think they are? Lin Yuesha clenched her fist; she was going to fight back!

She didn't want to go against the natural order before, but after being free for a while, she realized that she wasn't growing very fast and needed to be accelerated to mature.

“Miss, you’ve finally come to your senses. I still have a prescription left by Granny Fang, which you can use as well.”

The young ladies of noble families in the capital are busy scheming and researching remedies, but when it comes to their own young lady, who has two very effective remedies in her hands, she doesn't use them at all, which is a complete waste.

Longjing was very happy that her young mistress had finally come to her senses, and as a maid, she could also benefit from it.

In the afternoon, Lin Yuesha took the initiative to bring white tea and Longjing tea to the First Village to talk to Lian Qiao.

Lianqiao had just finished treating the injuries of the sisters from the first village when she heard that Lin Yuesha had arrived, so she received her politely.

"Miss Lin, we are so grateful for the medicine you provided. Otherwise, even if we went to Qin City to buy it, we wouldn't have been able to gather so much hemostatic medicine in such a short time."

Due to the war in the Northwest, Qin City was out of stock of hemostatic powder. If it weren't for Lin Yuesha's help, Lian Qiao, despite her medical skills, would have been helpless in treating the injuries of the First Village sisters.

Although the Forty-Eight Villages have a rule against doing business with government officials, they have never said that gifts are not allowed.

Lianqiao and Yu Qiuniang discussed and decided to slaughter pigs that were ready for slaughter and send them to the soldiers in the Northwest as a way to contribute to the war effort and to repay their kindness.

"I came to the mountain this time not just for military supplies."

Lin Yuesha looked at Lian Qiao and asked seriously, "I'll say it again: these sisters are rooted in the mountain village, and they are constantly worried about being harassed by people from the Eighteen Villages. This is not a long-term solution."

The Red Maiden and the chieftains of the Seventeen Villages fought each other to the death, like grasshoppers in autumn, their lives hanging by a thread. The Forty-one villages were not greatly harmed, but once this group regrouped, it would immediately threaten the interests of the First Village.

Lin Yuesha reiterated her previous statement, hoping that her sisters would follow her to achieve great things and go to the Northwest.

"Chief Yang has agreed, and he will set off with his brothers in the next few days."

Those brothers who didn't want to leave stayed in the stronghold, while the rest went to the Northwest to fight on the battlefield.

"You mean Yang Qing was recruited by the imperial court?"

Lian Qiao could hardly believe it; Yang Qing was not someone who could be persuaded with a few words, and he didn't care about power.

"He doesn't care about power, but he's a passionate man."

Yang Qing couldn't bear to see the innocent people of Daqi caught up in the war and slaughtered by foreign tribes. Coupled with the life-saving grace of the pockmarked man, he resolutely went to the Northwest.

Lin Yuesha actually wanted Yang Qing to help persuade Yu Qiuniang, as the two had already become sworn siblings. However, after careful consideration, she decided to do it herself.

When we go to the Northwest, Yu Qiuniang will be her person, and it has nothing to do with the pockmarked face.
