Chapter 20 A Coincidence Comes to the Door
In the morning of the second day, Hu Chen couldn't help talking about it while eating.

"In the past, you didn't want people to come to propose marriage, but what do you say now? If people don't come to the door, it's impossible for our wife's family to come to the door with gifts to ask for marriage?"

Hearing this, Hu Sanniang rolled her big eyes, 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 the talk, he put down his job and said, "So what if I go for a walk when I can't decide?"

"So, after breakfast, Hu Cheng will go to Dengzhou City with me."

Hu Cheng nodded quickly.

After dinner, Hu Taigong was also very preoccupied, sitting in the hall and watching Hu Cheng and the housekeeper prepare some gifts for the door-to-door, harnessed the horses, and suddenly saw a young man running in from outside.

"Sun Litiha came to the door with a gift"

Hearing this, Taigong Hu was stunned for a moment, and then his old face that had been wrinkled into one piece instantly smiled.

The stooped body seemed to be much more agile at this time, Hu Taigong led Hu Cheng to the front of the villa to welcome the guests.

"Sun Li Tiju, hurry up, sit inside!"

Hu Taigong's smiling attitude is much better than the previous few times when Sun Li came to the door. Sun Li knew his attitude instantly when he saw his attitude. Hearing Sun Xin's meaning, he came to the door again in the past two days, and he was right. up.

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

When Hu Sanniang saw Sun Li coming in, she hurriedly and quietly performed a Wanfu salute, and called, "Sun Tijutsu."

Hu Taigong laughed and said: "I really don't know the etiquette, Sanniang, hurry up and make tea with your elder brother Sun Li! Make good tea!"

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

Hu Taigong was very happy when he saw this huge pile of gifts. It's not that he, as the dignified owner of Hu's Manor, would lack such things. The question of how to marry Hu Sanniang was also given to him to save him from the embarrassment of going to the door to ask for marriage in person as a father-in-law.

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

After drinking the tea made by Hu Sanniang, Taigong Hu asked about Sun Xin's situation carefully, and then patted his chest to promise that he would support Sun Xin a lot when Hu Sanniang married.

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

Hu Taigong hurriedly asked his servants to prepare to accept the gift money, and he asked the housekeeper to prepare a thank you gift of slightly higher value for the corresponding muntjac meat, animal skins, etc., and called a servant to follow Sun Let's send these things back to Dengzhou together.

These etiquettes had been negotiated, and Sun Li finally felt relieved. He was about to get up, but he suddenly listened to Grandpa Hu's question.

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

Sun Li didn't express his opinion immediately when he heard the words, but asked: "According to the grandfather's intention?"

Taigong Hu stroked his beard, and said slowly: "After this month, my Sanniang Hu will also be seventeen, and she has already reached her age. If there is no agreement, I can let her stay at home for two more years. There is no rush. But now that we have a good son-in-law, the day should be early, and we can make arrangements after the autumn harvest."

Hu Sanniang blushed when she heard Hu Taigong say this behind the screen. She originally thought that she was going to marry Sun Xin, but she didn't expect that such a young girl who was not very sensible would come to Sun Xin's house for many years. to be Mrs.
"Could it be too fast?" Hu Sanniang stood there with her skirt twisted in her hands, making Hu Chen beside her couldn't help laughing.

Hearing the words here, Sun Li secretly calculated in his heart, now that he gave Hu Taigong 50 taels of silver, if he wanted a dowry of one hundred shi, he would still be short of 50 taels.

I can get 30 taels from my hand, and the peanuts planted by my younger brother’s village look good, and it’s easy to get [-] shi according to him, but I don’t know if they can be as good as my younger brother said. Said to have such a high value.

But even if the price is a little lower, the 100 taels of gift money will probably be enough in the autumn harvest season.It's just that when you get married, the wedding room and various dowry gifts are very important, and it would be best if you can take it easy.

So he opened his mouth and said: "It's going to be autumn now, I'm afraid my younger siblings have been wronged by making arrangements so hastily."

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

"What's your grievance? The things at home have already been set up, and the conditions for starting a business in Sun Xin's place are a bit worse. At worst, you can come to my village to do it. It is also difficult for young couples to start from scratch. You have the name of your Sun Tixia and my Hujiazhuang. The reputation of the family is suppressed, who dares to say that our two families are lonely?"

When Taigong Hu said so, Sun Li couldn't refute it. Although Taigong Hu said so, he also knew what it would be like to let Sun Xin come to Hu's village to hold a wedding. Borrowing money is enough, and he quickly cupped his hands and said: "It is good to have a grandpa. The Sun family is naturally polite, and Sanniang will definitely not embarrass the grandpa when she sends it here."

Hearing this, Grandpa Hu beamed.

The two in-laws had a very happy conversation and immediately opened a bottle of good wine. Hu Taigong stopped saying that he was not used to drinking strong alcohol, and had a solid drink with Sun Li. When his health was not good, he asked Hu Cheng to come up to accompany him. Sun Li drank two bowls.

The wine was familiar, and Grandpa Hu told Sun Li to kill pigs and goats to eat at home. Seeing that Grandpa Hu was urging people to prepare, Sun Li hurriedly said that he could not stay for dinner, and had to rush back to Dengzhou to go out.

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

Sun Li finally heaved a sigh of relief as he left Dulonggang with a servant sent by Hu's family to bring back gifts and two horses.

He wanted to report the good news to his younger brother immediately, he bowed his body on the Wuzhui horse, and galloped towards the direction of Dengzhou city.

Running all the way back to Shili Pai, Sun Liwu was so tired that he was sweating all over the original day's journey, and it took only half a day to arrive.

In the evening, Sun Li rolled off his horse in front of the Shili Pai shed, took out a bunch of money to thank the servant who gave the gift back, and took the gift from the boy, Sun Li walked towards the direction of the shed with the big bags in his hands.

Seeing Sun Xin and the boss and the second child who were repairing farm tools from a long distance, Sun Li hurriedly greeted them loudly.

"Brother, brother come out!"

Sun Xin walked out with a hoe, and saw Sun Li said with a happy face: "The matter of the Hu family village is over!"

Sun Xin threw away the hoe and asked, "Did Mr. Hu accept it?"
