Since County Magistrate Liu is willing to borrow a cotton weaving machine or its blueprints from Huating County, Tong Huaqiong doesn't have to worry so much.
Honestly, if she can't sort out the necessary tools and processes from cotton seed to cotton cloth before autumn, she'll be left with thirty acres of cotton stuck in her hands.
Having resolved the issue of the cotton weaving machine, Tong Huaqiong arranged with County Magistrate Liu to visit the Lu Family in the Government City for a marriage proposal in five days.
Tong Huaqiong was set to travel to the Government City ahead of time with Gu Jingzhe, Gu Taohua, and others.
Besides the proposal, Gu Jingzhe would be enrolling at Wanliu Academy and henceforth living in the Government City.
Originally, Tong Huaqiong had Qin Qingyou drive the carriage with Nie Xiaofeng accompanying them, but Su Chengmin volunteered to be the driver, citing his ability to fend off bandits if they encountered any on the way.
