Zhao Shu was overflowing with joy, so much so that he couldn't sleep a wink that entire night.
Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing shared in his happiness. Witnessing his excitement, they found themselves torn between laughter and tears.
Anxious to make preparations, Zhao Shu needed to return to Yuzhang the following day. While not as prosperous as Jiangnan, Yuzhang, being a provincial city, offered access to goods from both the north and south.
The marriage proposal was merely the beginning; the actual purchases would take place in Yuzhang. Afterward, he planned to acquire a spacious house in Yuzhang province. This would not only serve as a convenient residence for him and Taotao but also accommodate the betrothal gifts he had prepared in Jiangnan.
