Chapter 2:

A word is tantamount to a thunder, and everyone is confused.
Gu Dou wondered if he had a bad ear?
They are a small, poor family who wants to marry the Hou Mansion? Could it be that Qingtian is dreaming big day by day?
Not to mention that the Li family was shocked by this sentence, even the owner who said this sentence was still in his heart, but his eyes showed uncontrollable ecstasy.
Although I wanted to be a scholar's indifferent attitude, he showed signs of improper disposition not being able to pretend. Fortunately, no one noticed at this time, because everyone was completely immersed in the words of the marriage with the Hou Mansion, and they had not reacted.
After a short daze, the old lady Li, Sun's first awakened, took a few breaths, and then slammed the table with her palm a few times before opening her mouth and asked urgently: "My dear grandson, what did you say? Say it again. But what did I hear wrong when I was deaf and deaf?"
Li Cheng was extremely proud, as if he had seen his good days as the son-in-law of the Mingde Houfu.
This man is hypocritical and always carries it everywhere, even at home, so even if he is extremely excited, he restrained it, passed the rhetoric he had thought of earlier on the tip of his tongue, and polished his mind again. , Said it slowly.
Of course what he said now is far from the truth.
Li Cheng cut the general content and only gave a rough idea, to the effect that half a month ago, he and his classmates went to a literary meeting held by the Fourth Young Master of the Mingde Hou Mansion, and the sixth Miss Hou Mansion was playing in the garden with the sisters in the Hou Mansion. , Accidentally stumbled and fell into the lotus pond, and happened to be seen by herself. Because she was afraid that Miss Gu would have an accident, she couldn't take much care of it, so she filled it into the water and saved the person.
Fortunately, in the end, the lady was fine, so he left.
And just now, the old lady Gu in the Hou's mansion sent someone to find herself and called, she thought of his life-saving feelings, and decided to grant her granddaughter to her as his wife.
After he had said this, the Li family finally knew the reason, he sighed a few times on his face, and then went back and forth several times.
Both Sun and Bai are not fools, and they quickly figured out the key points. Although the scene said the gratitude for life-saving, I was afraid that it was not because Zeer and the other lady had a skin relationship. The Hou Mansion was holding At the banquet, maybe how many pairs of eyes looked at it, the girl’s family has lost their innocence, and which one is still willing to hire to be a daughter-in-law, so the only way out is to marry a grandson/son.
In a blink of an eye, Sun and Bai guessed the key.
Is the Bai family surprised and scared and happy, a little overwhelmed, and not at all happy to say that they are happy, but still can't believe it more, so people like them have really climbed into such a prominent family?
But soon they no longer need to doubt.
Half a month later, Mingdehou's Mansion dispatched a matchmaker to negotiate.
Up to this moment, the Li family was finally willing to believe that the heart that had been hanging for a long time finally fell on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, it was ecstasy.
But two days before he was happy, the problem came, the first one was the house.
When the matchmaker came to the door for the first time, he mentioned a few words, saying that Miss Hou Mansion hired people like them to marry too low. To put it in a bad way, then marry the emperor’s daughter Poor street sellers are almost the same.
"Old lady, let's not mention anything else, where will Miss Jin Jin live after marrying your house?" The matchmaker shook the kerchief in her hand, glanced at Sun Shi, and said quickly.
Although Bai didn't interrupt, he was muttering in his heart, why do you call where to stay? Maybe there is no room in their home? The whole West Wing is empty, and Miss Hou Mansion can occupy the whole house no matter how precious it is?
Bai had no guts, so naturally he just thought about these words, but his face showed some dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction.
A character like a matchmaker, she can't figure out what Cai's is thinking in her old age, and she sneered in her heart, secretly saying that this is really a person who can't be on the stage, and his eyelids are so shallow, he has no insight, bah!
What's more, this family looks like a child, but they have misconduct, which ruined Miss Gu Liu's innocence. Now that the family looks like this, it is really pitiful for the girl in the Hou Mansion!
She cursed people all over her heart, still smiling with a smile on her face. She was kindly, she got the second order from the second wife early in the morning, and some things naturally had to be done.
So he turned his head and looked at Bai, with a smile but a smile: "My wife has never been to the Hou Mansion. I don't know that the situation of their high-ranking family is excusable. What kind of house does their six girls live in? Just a girl. One, her yard is twice as big as your house. It’s just a small place in your house, and ordinary people are fine, but you can also see, the one your family is going to marry, it’s a delicacy from a rich nest. People, if you don’t hear a word, your family really took great luck to climb into such a noble home!
When the time comes, people will marry, just the dowry, I am afraid that this little yard will not fit! "The matchmaker didn't know whether it was intentional or accidental in the last sentence.
When Bai heard the first two sentences, his face was not so good, and he just didn't say a word about the woman who is not marrying a chicken or a dog or a dog, and I have never heard of anyone who dares to pick her husband's family!
Even Miss Hou Mansion has to pay attention to the three observances and four virtues. When going out to be a wife, she should keep her virtues, restrain oneself and return to courtesy, and be gentle and skillful.
Furthermore, how could this house of my family be so terrible to live in? No one else wanted to live in it!
But after hearing the last words of the people, the anger went down a bit.
Sun was still a smiling face, and I talked a lot with the matchmaker when you came.
After that, they wanted to stay for dinner, but they declined to be busy before leaving.
When there were no outsiders in the house, Sun's face was put down, and the folds on his forehead almost didn't wrinkle into a word "Chuan". The matchmaker meant that this house was not good, and the new woman could not live in the house and needed to buy a new house.
Although the old lady was unhappy, she knew that she couldn't afford to offend the Hou Mansion.
The Li family didn't have such big rules, and they talked about it again during dinner in the evening, mainly because the Sun family discussed with his son Li Baode.
The new house is easy to say, but where can the Li family afford it, the land price and housing price in Beijing are very expensive, and a good house is hard to find. It is extremely difficult to just have no money.
Li Cheng saw in his eyes, for fear that Sun Clan could not figure it out and be confused and offend the Hou Mansion. After all, the young lady hasn't married back yet, so don't come to the end.
So he met the old lady in private again and said something. In short, the new house must be bought. He hinted that it doesn't matter if the Sun family gives up a little first. The lady of the Hou Mansion will definitely bring a large amount of dowry.
Sun has always loved his grandson the most, and a hundred sentences from others couldn't match his sentence, so he agreed.
The next day the old lady called her son, and the two spoke in the house for an hour.
After that day, Li Baode ran outside every day, and after half a month he finally told the family next door to resell the house to them.
The size of the house next to it is the same as that of Li's house, and the size is also similar, and it is also in a binary layout.
Originally, they were unwilling to sell, but Li Baode deliberately proposed to Mingde Houfu. The man was afraid of offending the rich and powerful, and finally compromised. However, the price was higher, and one thousand taels of silver could not be less. If they gave enough, they immediately signed Chee moved away.
Li Baode had the final say in his heart, the price of such a house should now be around 800 taels, not more than 900 taels.
But there is no other way, because they didn't plan to sell, and if they take the initiative to buy, they will definitely suffer.
The Li family didn't have that much money at all, and in the end they had to bite their teeth and sold one hundred acres of paddy fields in the countryside. Because it was a good-quality paddy field, the price of one acre was nine taels, and one acre earned nine hundred taels. A hundred tael short can only be drawn from the account.
After collecting the money, Li Baode did not delay, and hurriedly bought the house.
This was Sun’s idea. The Li family’s current house has lived in it for decades. Naturally, it is impossible to sell it. There is really no money to change to a big house. The only way is to buy the house next to Li’s house, and then both Open a side door, it is not too small to be connected together.
At that time, the house will be re-painted and re-painted, and the one next to it will be occupied by the bride, everything is done.
For this house, the Li family sold a hundred acres of paddy fields. Sun's distress was so distressed that he couldn't eat for a few days, and his chest pained.
That's the family property that the ancestors saved bit by bit. Every family depends on this for food, and now it's suddenly half gone. Who can feel it!
Distressed, distressed, if you can marry a Miss Hou Men back, it will not be a loss.
After the house was transferred and signed, the Sun did not delay. He invited someone to the Mingdehou Mansion to deliver the letter. After a few days, two wives-like figures came over there, followed by four or five. She was a swan, well-behaved, dressed in decent new satin clothes, crimson and dark green, looking very extraordinary.
It was the first time that the female relatives of the Li family saw such a person like this. They were a little bit suppressed, and inevitably showed a little anger and panic.
Fortunately, in the end, we are going to talk about relatives. No matter how noble the Hou Mansion is, his daughter still has to marry to Li's family.
Sun sees this point most clearly. After all, the young lady has already had a close relationship with her grandson, so she can get married if she doesn't marry.
The Hou Mansion felt that the girl had lost her ugliness and made herself a laughingstock in the circle. After all, she could only knock down her teeth and swallow her blood. She gritted her teeth and wanted to get the marriage done as soon as possible. Follow the ancient ceremony, one by one.
But it also took a lot of effort.
Finally, finally set the marriage date on the fifth day of September.
