Chapter 20 By chance, Sun Tiha got married

The next morning, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but talk about it while eating.

"Before, you didn't want people to come to your door to propose marriage, but now what do you say? If they don't come to your door, why don't we, the bride's family, come to her door with gifts to ask for marriage?"

Hearing this, Hu Sanniang's big eyes rolled around, looking at her father, then at her mother, and then at her brother and sister-in-law, looking very concerned.

Taigong Hu was annoyed by what he said, so he put down his rice bowl and said, "What if I go for a walk when I can't?"

"In this case, after breakfast, Hu Cheng will go to Dengzhou City with me."

Hu Cheng nodded quickly.

After dinner, Taigong Hu was also very worried. He sat in the hall and watched Hu Cheng and the housekeeper prepare some gifts for the door and hitch the horses. Suddenly, he saw a boy running in from outside.

"Sun Litiha came to the door with gifts."

Upon hearing this, Grand Duke Hu was stunned for a moment, and then his old wrinkled face suddenly brightened up and smiled.

His stooped body seemed to be much more agile at this time, and Taigong Hu took Hu Cheng to the front of the village to greet the guests.

Now that Taigong Hu was happy, Sun Li and Taigong Hu naturally talked quite harmoniously this time.

Grand Duke Hu laughed and said: "I am so ignorant of etiquette, Sanniang, why don't you make tea with your brother Sun Li quickly! Make good tea!"

Hearing this, Grand Duke Hu smiled happily.

But he knew in his heart that if he stayed at Hu's house to eat this meal, he would cause too much trouble to others, and he was afraid that Hu's family would talk behind their backs.

"Sun Liti, hurry, hurry, sit inside!"

Grand Duke Hu stroked his beard and said slowly: "After this month, my Sanniang Hu has turned seventeen, which means she is already old. If we can't reach an agreement, I can let her stay at home for two more years. There is no rush.

But now that I have a good son-in-law, I will take care of it as early as possible, and I think it can be done after the autumn harvest."

Running all the way back to Shilipai, it was originally a one-day journey, but Sun Liwu Zui was so exhausted that he was sweating all over, so it only took him most of the day to get there.

But even if the price is cheaper, the one hundred taels of dowry money can probably be enough during the autumn harvest season. However, the wedding room and various betrothal gifts at the time of marriage are very stressful, so it would be best if it can be postponed.

Hu Sanniang's face turned red when she heard what Mr. Hu said from behind the screen. She originally thought of marrying Sun Xin, but she didn't expect that a little girl like her, who was not very sensible, would come to Sun Xin's house after several years.

Going to be a lady,

"Isn't this too fast?" Hu Sanniang stood there with her skirt in her hands, making Mrs. Hu Chen beside her couldn't help but laugh.

Hu Taigong's smiling attitude was much better than the previous times when Sun Li came to his door. When Sun Li saw his attitude, he immediately understood. Hearing Sun Xin's intention, he came to his door again in the past two days. It was indeed the right thing to do.

Already.

Hu Sanniang, who was behind the screen, blushed instantly when she heard this, but there was a smile on her brows and eyes.

After leaving Dulonggang with two horses and a boy sent by Hujiazhuang to return the gift, Sun Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Sun Li heard this, he made a secret calculation in his heart. Now that he had given fifty taels of silver to Taigong Hu, if he wanted a dowry of one hundred dan, he was still fifty taels short.

While drinking the tea brewed by Hu Sanniang, Hu Taigong carefully inquired about Sun Xin's situation, and then patted his chest and promised that he would support Sun Xin more when Hu Sanniang got married.

Grand Duke Hu directly held Sun Li's arm and dragged him into the main hall.

I can get thirty taels from my own hands. The peanuts planted by my brother in the village look like they are growing well. It is easy to get twenty dan according to his wishes. I just don’t know if those things are as good as my brother’s.

It's said to be of such high value.

Sun Li put two bottles of good wine, a mountain muntjac meat, several pieces of fine animal skins and a large bag of gold and silver on the table.

In the evening, Sun Li rolled his saddle and dismounted in front of the work shed in Shilipai. He took out a bunch of big money and thanked the servant who brought the gift back. He took the gift from the boy and walked toward the work shed with large and small bags in his hands.

When Hu Sanniang saw Sun Li coming in, she quickly and quietly performed a Wanfu ceremony and called out: "Sun Tiha."

The two in-laws chatted happily and immediately opened a bottle of good wine. Hu Taigong no longer said that he was not used to strong drinks, and had a solid drink with Sun Li. When he was not feeling well, he asked Hu Cheng to come up and accompany him.

Sun Li drank two sea bowls.

However, Hu Taigong was afraid that if he didn't marry Hu Sanniang earlier, there would be another trouble in Zhujiazhuang.

"What's the grievance? We've already bought everything at home. The conditions for starting a business in Sun Xin's place are a bit worse. At worst, we have to come to our village to do it. It's also difficult for young couples to start from scratch. With your name, Sun Tiha, and my Hujiazhuang

With our reputation suppressed, who dares to say that our family is lonely?"

"Sun Tiha, when do you think the marriage between our two families will take place?"

He deliberately reported the good news to his younger brother immediately. He bowed his body on Wu Zui's horse and galloped towards Dengzhou City.

When Sun Li heard this, he did not immediately express his position, but asked: "What do you think the Grand Duke wants?"

Taigong Hu felt happy again when he saw this large pile of gifts. It's not that he, as the owner of the dignified Hu Family Village, would lack such things. The key is that Sun Li's coming to the door was really wonderful and solved him.

The question of how to marry Hu Sanniang also gave him a step to avoid the embarrassment of having to go to the house to ask for her hand in marriage as his father-in-law.

These etiquettes had been agreed upon, and Sun Li was finally relieved. He was about to get up when he suddenly heard Grand Duke Hu ask.

Taigong Hu quickly asked his servants to prepare to accept the betrothal money, as well as the corresponding muntjac meat, animal skins and other items. He asked the housekeeper to prepare a slightly higher value thank you gift, and asked a boy to turn around and follow Sun.

Let's take these things back to Dengzhou together.

After the wine was drunk, Taigong Hu ordered Sun Li to kill pigs and sheep and left him to eat at home. When Sun Li saw Taigong Hu urging people to prepare, he quickly said that he could not stay to eat and had to rush back to Dengzhou.

It was hard for Sun Li to refute what Taigong Hu said. Although Taigong Hu said so, he also knew what it would be like to ask Sun Xin to come to Hujiazhuang to hold a wedding. If he was upset, he would lose face again.

Just borrow the money, and he quickly handed over his hand and said, "It's good to have Grandpa. Naturally, the Sun family is very polite. When the time comes, Sanniang will not embarrass Grandpa if he brings it over."

So he opened his mouth and said, "Autumn is about to come soon. I'm afraid I'm wronging my brothers and sisters by organizing things in such a hurry."

Seeing Sun Xin and Boss Laoer repairing farm tools from a distance, Sun Li quickly greeted them loudly.

"Brother, brother come out!"

Sun Xin came out with a hoe and saw Sun Li saying with a happy face: "The matter in Hujiazhuang is done!"

Sun Xin threw away the hoe and asked, "Has Taigong Hu agreed?"
