Su Yuanwang still had some concerns: "You also said that Yue'er's temper is getting weirder and weirder. If she knew that she was marrying a fool, she would probably refuse to marry."

Zhou Ruoxue rolled her eyes and said, "Of course we can't lie to Yue, we are doing this for her own good.

Master, there is no woman in this world who wants her husband to take concubines. If this husband is stupid but rich, loves her and does not take concubines, I think Yue'er will accept it after she knows it.

Besides, since ancient times, marriages have been decided by parents. This marriage has to be arranged. There is nothing we can do if Yue'er disagrees. When she has a child in the future, she will understand the painstaking efforts of us as parents."

Su Yuanwang was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. Finally, he nodded and said, "Madam, what you said makes sense. It's settled. You are Yue'er's mother, so you will handle this matter! Don't forget to tell your mother."

Zhou Ruoxue was overjoyed and said quickly, "Then I will go and prepare right away and make sure this marriage is done properly."

After Zhou Ruoxue left the study, she immediately returned to Mudan Garden and told Su Zelin and Su Yao what Su Yuanwang had agreed to.

The brother and sister were very happy to hear this, because the third son of Duke Li was not only stupid, but also had a bad temper and loved to smash things when he was unhappy.

Besides, Lady Li, the Duke's wife, is not a good person either. Once Su Yue marries her, her life will definitely be miserable.

On the other hand, Su Yue was still making ice cubes in her Qingyou Garden and had no idea about her upcoming wedding.

They did this until it was dark, and then the three of them stopped. Su Yue looked at the dozens of wooden basin-shaped ice cubes in the space and was still a little dissatisfied.

It took her a whole afternoon to do all this. It seems she needs to find more people to do it.

At this time, Ren Dong came over and reminded her, "Miss, Tao Hong has returned with the meal, so you should eat first."

Su Yue nodded. She washed her hands and came to the table. Looking at the stir-fried pork with cucumber and a bowl of white rice on the table, she couldn't help but sigh and sat down resignedly to her fate and started eating.

Although we were planning to open a small kitchen, the cook hasn't come yet and there are no ingredients, so the small kitchen plan has to be put on hold.

After dinner, Su Yue went to rest. Originally, she wanted to go to Rendong's house, but she was afraid that someone would come to see her at this time, so she decided to wait until the second half of the night to be on the safe side.

In the second half of the night, Su Yue and Rendong avoided the patrolling guards and quietly crawled out of the dog hole. Nanny Yang was responsible for guarding Qingyou Garden just in case.

It was a windless night and all around was silent, with only an ordinary-looking carriage waiting nearby.

Before Su Yue and Rendong could move, a man in the driver's seat of the carriage suddenly jumped down and walked towards Su Yue and the others.

Although Su Yue's eyes were alert, she was not panicked at all, because Nanny Yang told her that Nanny Yang had already notified Song Mingtao by carrier pigeon and asked him to drive a carriage and wait in the backyard.

When Nanny Yang went to see Song Mingtao, she went to the market and bought some pigeons and kept them in Qingyou Garden.

Because Nanny Yang felt that it was inconvenient to run through the dog hole when something happened, and it would be more convenient to have a carrier pigeon. So in the future, if she had anything to find Song Mingtao, she could just use a carrier pigeon to send the message.

Because it was dark at night and the lantern in Honeysuckle's hand was not particularly bright, she couldn't see very clearly.

Su Yue narrowed her eyes and looked carefully at the man who was approaching. She saw that the man looked to be around forty years old.

Although the man's facial features are ordinary, his firm eyes and serious expression give people the impression that he is an upright person.

Song Mingtao walked up to Su Yue and knelt down. "Greetings, young lady. My name is Song Mingtao. I received a message from Madam Yang this afternoon, asking me to drive a carriage here to wait for you, young lady."

"No need to be so polite, Uncle Song, please get up quickly!" Su Yue gave Song Mingtao a light support, letting him get up.

After Song Mingtao stood up, he dared to look at Su Yue. He only looked at her for a few seconds, then immediately lowered his eyes, "The girl looks too much like the lady."

Su Yue was stunned. She didn't expect Song Mingtao's second sentence would be this. It was normal for mother and daughter to look alike. "Uncle Song, we can't stay here for long. Let's set off quickly."

Song Mingtao nodded slightly and made a gesture of invitation: "Miss, please get in the carriage."

After Su Yue and Ren Dong got on the carriage, they could see clearly what was inside the carriage.

Although the carriage looked ordinary in appearance, it was warm and comfortable inside. Song Mingtao was considerate enough to even put an ice basin in the carriage, so there was a hint of coolness inside.

At that time, Song Mingtao's voice came from outside the carriage, "Girl, where are you going?"

Su Yue signaled Rendong to speak, but she didn't know where Rendong's home was.

Ren Dong immediately replied: "Uncle Song, go to the end of Xiaohe Village in the northern suburbs."

Song Mingtao's voice appeared again. "Okay, girl, sit tight, we're going to set off now, go!"

The next second, the carriage started slowly and headed towards Xiaohe Village in the northern suburbs.

Su Yue sat in the car and looked at the ice basin that was constantly emitting cold air. She signaled Ren Dong to open the door of the car, and then asked, "Uncle Song, did you have this ice basin made specially for you, or did you buy it?"

Song Mingtao was driving the carriage, so he didn't turn around and replied, "Miss, I bought this ice basin. The weather is getting hot this year, and there are shops selling ice in the market. They also sell ice basins. I thought the carriage would be stuffy, so I bought one and put it in the carriage."

Su Yue was disappointed. She didn't expect that someone in the world of the book had already started selling ice. She thought that if the silver was not enough, she could sell some ice and make a lot of money.

"Is there any ice basin bigger than this one?"

Song Mingtao did not hesitate and continued to reply: "Yes, but it is used to freeze ingredients. There are three kinds in the store, one of which is the one in front of the girl.

The other two are larger, one is a tic-tac-toe grid and the other is a hui-shaped grid, both of which can be used to freeze ingredients.”

Su Yue said without thinking: "Uncle Song, go buy me ten sets of each of these three types tomorrow, and deliver them to the place just now at this time tomorrow night."

After Su Yue finished speaking, she took out a note of five hundred taels and gave it to Rendong, asking him to give it to Song Mingtao.

Song Mingtao did not refuse. He had not sold a farm or a shop yet and did not have much money.

Song Mingtao asked again: "Miss, the problem is that this ice basin is very big, how can you move it to the Su Mansion?"

Su Yue did not explain too much, but said: "I have my own way, you just need to do as I say."

After hearing this, Song Mingtao stopped asking questions and drove the carriage seriously.

Su Yue suddenly thought of her own farm and asked, "Uncle Song, have you sold any of your farms or shops?"

Song Mingtao replied, "The manor has not yet, but several shops have already looked at it. Maybe it will be sold successfully tomorrow. Don't worry, young lady. If a deal is concluded, I will send a pigeon to inform you immediately."

Su Yue nodded with satisfaction: "I, Su Yue, have always been a person who trusts people. Since I have hired you, I naturally trust you."

Song Mingtao was deeply moved after hearing Su Yue's words, and his voice became more determined: "Miss, since you trust me so much, I will do my best to live up to your expectations."
