Yun Ruoxia agreed, and Wen Siqing was the kind of person who would do what he said he would do. The next day, they drove their carriage together to the county town to look at shops.

"Hurry up and get on, do you really want to walk all the way to town?"

"No, Second Aunt, I was thinking, why don't I drive this carriage?"

"You're coming?"

Yun Ruoxia was somewhat incredulous. The image of Wen Siqing getting into her carriage that day flashed through her mind; she still vividly remembered the way he struggled to get in. He had a hard time even getting into the carriage; how could he possibly drive it…?

Wen Siqing laughed and said:

“I have never driven a carriage before. Now that we are going to do business, we will inevitably need to drive carriages in the future. I want to learn, I want to share the burden with you, and I want to be the person you can rely on.”

Yun Ruoxia thought this person was extremely talented; otherwise, how could he be so eloquent and speak so beautifully that she couldn't help but hand him the horse reins.

Wen Siqing took the reins and looked at Yun Ruoxia, saying:

"Second Aunt, please sit inside. I've learned a thing or two from Gangzi, so don't worry."

"good."

Although Yun Ruoxia sat in the carriage, she didn't dare to sit too far inside, for fear that something might happen and she wouldn't have time to react.

Clearly, her worries were somewhat unnecessary. Wen Siqing drove the carriage smoothly without any bumps, and even managed to avoid the rocks, making the road surface stable.

Yun Ruoxia looked at Wen Siqing's slightly tense back, her thoughts drifting away. The first time she met Wen Siqing, she thought he was a bit stingy and had ill intentions. Seeing him again, she admired his ability to make money.

Because of the shop, she gradually had more contact with him. She never expected that he would fall in love with her and express his love to her repeatedly. She never expected that she would be moved.

From the moment he fled Pingcheng, he gave her all his money and belongings. Throughout the journey, he always cared for her health. If he ate meat, he would always share his portion with her, and he would even swat mosquitoes for her at night...

"Wen Siqing, let's get married."

As soon as the words were spoken, the carriage began to jolt violently. Wen Siqing's hands trembled. He wondered if he was hallucinating; he had actually heard Yun Ruoxia say she wanted to marry him. This...this...this...it all seemed so unreal.

"Second Aunt, was that you speaking just now?"

"yes."

"You...you...you said, you..."

Let's get married.

Yun Ruoxia didn't know why, but these words suddenly came out of her mouth. She clearly wanted a grand wedding; she wanted to be like Yun Ruochun, so everyone would envy her for marrying such a good husband.

But now, perhaps because her mindset has changed since she fled, or perhaps because the current conditions don't allow it, or perhaps because she no longer has those gossipy old women like Lin and Wu, she has become more open-minded. Now she just wants to be good to Wen Siqing, do business, and live a better life.

Wen Siqing quickly pulled the horse to a stop. He turned around, looked at Yun Ruoxia seriously, and asked:

"Second Aunt, are you serious?"

"real."

It took Wen Siqing a great deal of effort to suppress the surging emotions within him and force himself to respond calmly:

"Alright, let's get married."

**

As night fell, Yun Ruoxia and Wen Siqing, who had returned from the city, announced their marriage and their intention to revive the "Zhaoyeqing" business during their dinner.

Tang Ling and Gangzi immediately looked at Yun Ling. Yun Chu's mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg. Zhang Shi and Yun Shenghua exchanged bewildered glances. Old Man Yun opened his mouth as if to say something, but then remained silent. Finally, Old Man Yun's mother spoke up.

"Won't you reconsider?"

"What are you thinking about? Oh right, Mother, you have to pick an auspicious day for us."

Yun Ruoxia didn't understand, but Wen Siqing understood what Old Madam Yun meant, and quickly said:

"Don't worry, Aunt. My second aunt and I have already rented a large shop in the city with a front shop and a back yard. After we get married, we will move to the city. I will work hard to earn money to buy a big house and I will not let my second aunt suffer any grievances."

"You had better keep your word."

Old Lady Yun glanced into the distance, then looked at Yun Ruoxia.

“You know what the situation is like at home now. We don’t have an income like before, so we can spend money more freely. If you get married now, you can’t have the same grand wedding as your older sister.”

"I've thought it all out. It doesn't matter if it's glamorous or not, as long as I have money in my own hands, I don't care what others say."

Old Lady Yun couldn't believe these words came from the mouth of Yun Ruoxia, that damned fortune teller. But even though it wasn't a glamorous affair, marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so it should be done with some decorum.

Moreover, given the current special circumstances and the fact that the two are renting a shop to live in, they may face some difficulties in their lives. As their elders, we should naturally be more understanding and supportive.

Therefore, he hurriedly returned to the house to discuss the purchase of dowry and the preparation of the banquet with Zhang. After dinner, Gangzi, for the first time, did not wash the dishes for Zhang, but just followed Yunling like a little tail, without saying a word. Finally, Yunling found it strange and asked:

"Is there something you need?"

"Boss, if I understand correctly, Second Aunt means they're going to rebuild the 'Zhaoyeqing' brand, but that doesn't include you. Are you not planning to do business anymore?"

"Yes, what, you think that if I don't do business and make money, I won't pay you a salary, and I can't help you settle down and start a family, so you're thinking of leaving me and finding another master?"

Gangzi's heart pounded wildly, and he quickly shook his head and waved his hands.

"Boss, don't wrong me. I didn't intend to do that, and that's not what I meant. I just thought it was a bit unlike you that you don't make money. But then I thought that if our boss wanted to make money, he would be very capable, so I didn't dwell on it."

The two were chatting and laughing when Tang Ling arrived looking preoccupied again.

“My lady, can I follow you? I… I don’t want to walk the runway or earn money. I just want to stay by your side and serve you, just like we did in Bianjing.”

"If that's the case, what about Auntie's side?"

“I just asked my second great-aunt, and she said I should ask you what you think. If you’re willing, I can stay by your side.”

Once "Zhao Ye Qing" gets back in business, they'll inevitably have to do fashion shows. And if they're going to do fashion shows, they'll need to train. Besides, Yun Ruoxia and Wen Siqing have just rented a shop, so they'll definitely need someone to clean it and do other things. They won't be able to stay at the Yun family's place anymore.

Tang Ling had considered this issue, which is why she raised the request before things were officially settled. However, after raising it, she became afraid that Yun Ling would not agree.
