Chapter 164: Marriage Proposal

In fact, Ruoyun originally drew a set of cartoon shapes based on the prototypes of Xiaobai, Ben Lei and Lightning. A few girls couldn't help but come to the front to look at them one by one, and the stars appeared in their eyes while watching, the girl just couldn't resist the temptation of the doll.

"Ruoyun, tell me how to do this, I seem to hurry up and take a look now." Li Qingxiu said anxiously.

"Okay, well, come over if you want to learn, let me tell you, it's actually very simple." As soon as Ruoyun spoke, several people hula suddenly gathered around her.

Just when Ruoyun was teaching everyone to make toys, Li Da had already followed Li Manjiang and Hu Shi, who stayed overnight last night, to the town, and today they were going to find the matchmaker.

I went home first and said hello to Qingjie, because I didn't come back all night last night for fear that he would be worried. Then I went directly to Liu Miao's mother-in-law's house.

Hu seems to have some friendship with Mrs. Liu, and as soon as the matter was said, Mrs. Liu agreed, and she would go to Hu's house tomorrow to propose her relatives.

This Hu family girl Liu Matchmaker knows that she hasn't married out yet, and this time someone is finally willing to marry her, the Hu family must be willing, this kind of good errand that can get a thank you matchmaker gift without much effort, she is very willing,

Then after receiving the thank you gift from Li Daer's two silvers, Mrs. Liu was even happier, patting her chest and saying that she would definitely give things a half-beautiful tomorrow.

told Mrs. Liu that she was going to go tomorrow before she went in advance, and before she was in advance, Li Da asked people to carry the Geng post and the dowry over, and hurriedly went out of Mrs. Liu's house.

When he arrived at the mouth of the alley, Li Da said goodbye to Li Manjiang and his wife, Li Da was in a hurry to go back to buy a dowry, and Hu was anxious to deliver the good news to his eldest brother.

The niece is also bitter, after getting married, she will live in a yard by herself, and she doesn't have to serve her in-laws, and there is no serious mother-in-law above, as long as the Lin family can get by on the face, not to mention how comfortable the life is, the eldest brother and sister-in-law will definitely not be happy when they know it.

Besides, the Hu family has been waiting for news anxiously since Li Da and the others left yesterday, Hu Rong is afraid that Li Da's parents will not agree and let this marriage have twists and turns, so his daughter really can't bear it. Even Hu Shaomei's two brothers didn't go to work today, and they waited for news at home.

When Hu Shi came to this and said this with a smile on his face, Hu Rong's daughter-in-law Liu Shi shed tears of joy and said, "My daughter's good days are coming, and my daughter can be regarded as having survived." ”

The Hu family didn't expect that the elders of the Li family not only agreed to the marriage, but also divided the family, and the daughter could live by herself when she got married.

When Hu Shaomei heard the news, she locked herself in the room and cried bitterly, and then she dressed up again, and came out to thank her sister-in-law and uncle, she knew that her sister-in-law and uncle must have helped a lot.

The cry she just now represents a farewell to the past, and from today onwards it will be her new life, a new life, and her man.

Liu's side also made a big meal at noon to celebrate, and by the way, he also wanted to thank his sister-in-law and his sister-in-law. It's been several years, and it's the first time that the Hu family has been so happy!

The twenty-first day of the lunar month is a good day, early this morning, the door of the Hu family in the town is particularly lively, it turns out that someone proposed to the daughter of the Hu family who fell into the river a few years ago and ruined her reputation.

The neighbors all opened their doors and came out to see the excitement, they all wanted to see whose family proposed to the Hu family, you must know that everyone thought that the daughter of the Hu family would not be able to marry. Mo is not married to a widower to continue the string, and it may be Chongxi.

When everyone saw the big carriage parked at the door of Hu's house and the little maid wearing the same clothes and carrying the dowry behind it, everyone seemed to understand something, looked at each other, nodded in unison, and said secretly, it turned out that they were concubines for big families.

In this way, it has passed, the concubines of big families do not pay much attention to reputation, and this Hu family girl is also outstanding in appearance, and it is still okay to be a concubine.

Mrs. Liu was helped out of the carriage and couldn't help but sigh that this big carriage was comfortable to sit on.

This carriage was sent to her by Li Da this morning, in order to give Xiaomei a face, and the little girl who carried the dowry today was also from Fuyuan, all wearing new clothes, and carrying the dowry with red silk was very decent.

Mrs. Liu is also dressed in red and black-edged clothes today, her hair is meticulously combed, and she looks several years younger. Standing at the door of Hu's house, she looked at the people around her, and straightened her chest, she did this business, she has seen more scenes like this, she is not nervous at all, and the more people she has, the better she will be, this is an opportunity to make a reputation.

The little maid who followed Mrs. Liu stepped forward and knocked on the door of the Hu family, and the door of the Hu family was wide open, Hu Rong and Liu stood in the middle of the door with their two sons, and their family was also wearing new decent clothes today. In fact, they had been waiting at the door for a long time, but they didn't open the door to show the woman's reserve, but just waited for the door to open as soon as they knocked.

Because yesterday the Hu family had notified them to come back today to propose marriage, so their family changed into decent clothes early this morning, and they kept an eye on the movement outside, just waiting to knock on the door.

After the door opened, Hu Rong walked out with his family, hugged his fist at Mrs. Liu, and said, "Mother Liu." Why are you visiting the Humble House today? "In fact, everyone knows that the two families must have gotten angry in private, but this should still go through the motions.

Mrs. Liu waited for Hu Rong's voice to fall, and then stepped forward with a smile on her face and blessed her blessing, "Congratulations to Master Hu, the old man came over today to propose marriage to your daughter." "Since Hu Rong took over his father's errand and did the catch, the people in this town have called him Hu Ye.

"Oh, I don't know which family Mother Liu is talking about?" Hu Rong raised his voice and asked, he must know which family, but according to the custom, he needs to say it in front of the neighbors, and let people know who his daughter's husband is.

"It is the eldest son of the old man Li Manshan in Xishan Village, not far from here, who wants to marry his daughter, I don't know what Master Hu wants?" The word matchmaker Liu also follows the routine.

But as soon as her voice fell, the originally quiet neighbors began to whisper with a "buzz".

"Oh, it's a wife!"

"Who said no, I thought it was to marry ......" The last word didn't come out, this person was probably afraid that the Hu family would hear it and attract people's hatred.

"Who is this Master Li Manshan of Xishan Village? Why haven't I heard of it? Isn't there anything wrong with his eldest son? ”

"I know this, my mother's family is from Xishan Village. I call this Li Manshan and uncle. ”

"Then tell me about it?"

"To say that Uncle Manshan's family was not good before, but the house is a new house built a few years ago, and it is a good house in the village. And some time ago, his eldest son, who had been a soldier for several years, came back, and looking at the posture of today's dowry, it seems that this eldest son has developed outside. ”

"There's nothing wrong with his eldest son, is there?"

"I haven't heard of it, when I went back to the village a few days ago, I took a look at it from a distance, and the person is very energetic, but he is not young, he should be twenty-five or six, it seems that he is delayed outside."

"The daughter of the Hu family is not young."

"No, it's twenty-three." Someone whispered.

"Then the eldest man of the Li family and the daughter of the Hu family are quite compatible in terms of age."

Although Hu Rong heard everyone's discussions, it still didn't affect his good mood, and said to Liu's mother, "Okay, okay, mom, please, please." ”

The neighbors are still gossiping, "It's not, but who knows what's wrong inside, look at it, you see that people are going in, oh, this dowry is really a lot." ”

"Yes, I count, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, oh my God, it's a whole eight."

"Hey, I look a lot at this time, maybe what's inside, let's go in and have a look in a while, and say hello by the way."

"Okay, let's go together in a while, this girl from the Hu family is also a poor person."

At this time, Mrs. Liu had already led people into the courtyard of the Hu family, but the gate of the Hu family was not closed, and those neighbors also followed into the courtyard.

Because there are many dowry gifts, they can't be carried into the house, so Mrs. Liu asked the little ones to be placed in the middle of the courtyard in turn, and then opened them one by one, which means for everyone to watch.

As soon as the dowry was opened, the people in the courtyard couldn't help but exclaim, good guy, who is this, the dowry is so decent.

There are a total of eight dowry gifts, and after the first one is opened, there are two silver ingots of ten taels neatly placed on the red cloth, which is considered a bride price. You must know that in this town, the bride price for marrying a daughter-in-law is usually only five taels, and the conditions are better will not exceed ten taels. This Li family actually gave twenty taels, which is really decent enough.

In fact, according to Ruoyun's meaning, it was good to give a hundred taels, but she was stopped by Mama Liu, because a dowry of one hundred taels was prepared here, and the dowry on the woman's side could only be more, not less, although the Hu family was solid, but it cost hundreds of taels to marry a daughter, and it was impossible, so in the end twenty taels were released. But it's decent enough.

The second lift is a burden, and the red cloth covered on the large bamboo basket is uncovered, and it is a load full of wedding cakes, exuding a strong fragrance. According to the custom, the wedding cake costs 50 catties, but the 50 catties wedding cake also costs a lot, so the average person just makes the top layer and looks good. However, Mama Liu made a full fifty catties of preparation this time, and they were all made by the kitchen herself, and the materials were all good things.

Some neighbors who have not eaten can't help but rumble when they smell this fragrance.

The third lift is three animals, two pairs of chickens, two males and two females, and then ten catties of pork, which are cut into slices and connected to open two, in order to show rich and sincere respect. Of course, other people's families will not prepare such a sufficient, a pair of chickens and three catties of meat are enough.

So when everyone saw such a man preparing such a sufficient thing, they couldn't help but start to envy the daughter of the Hu family for finding a good family. There are people who are good with the Hu family, and they hurriedly said happy words to the Liu family, and some of them have some dirty, so they all pouted, thinking that there must be something wrong with this man, otherwise how could he marry his daughter, who has been seen on the street.
