Zhao waved her hand.
"No, we're not used to living in the capital."
Fang Qing didn't say anything more.
She liked the prosperity and diversity of the capital city, but she disliked the conflicts there.
Conflicts that exist at all times.
Perhaps Fang Daniu and the Zhao family were right to persist.
When Fang Daniu and Zhao Shi got older, she bought them a big house in the county town and hired several servants to take care of them.
Perhaps when she gets tired of life in the capital, she can come back to be with them.
After breakfast, a number of people came to the house one after another, all of them to see Zhao Shi'an. Even the newly appointed magistrate of An County came.
After a few days of excitement, things gradually quieted down at home. Fang Qing thought it was over, but little did she know that an imperial edict would follow.
The person who came to deliver the imperial edict was said to be from the Ministry of Rites.

"Oh my, Da Niu's family has finally made it through the tough times."
"That's right. Two children, one is a favorite of the emperor, and the other has become a county princess. If it were me, I would be laughing in my dreams."
"With your cowardly appearance, you couldn't possibly have a child like this. But don't be discouraged. Your daughter is beautiful, and if Zhao Shi'an is willing, she could be his bed warmer and enjoy a good life."
"Pah, pah, pah, shut your mouth! Don't you know that Douya and Shi'an are engaged?"
"I really didn't know. Da Niu is getting a good deal from an outsider. I always say this kid is lucky."
