Chapter 298 Start a small stove
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Xue Laohu's family came to propose marriage.
Li Lanzhen and her three sons and daughters-in-law got up early and cleaned the yard.
After returning from the cafeteria, she took out a set of tea sets and made tea.
On the table in the main room were a plate of candy, a plate of melon seeds, a plate of peanuts, and a dish of fried soybeans.
Li Lanzhen also invited Li Erhan's family, as well as Han Shunde, Bai Houpu and Scrophularia ningpoensis.
Let them come together to witness the process of Han Yuemei and Xue Bao proposing marriage and offering betrothal gifts.
The sun was shining warmly that day.
In the yard, the children were chattering, chasing each other and laughing.
Everyone took out a handful of melon seeds or fried soybeans from their pockets like offering treasures and shared them with their friends.
Li Lanzhen didn't expect that the prince would also come along, and he nodded and smiled at her.
After letting them into the main room and seating them, and serving them tea, they heard children shouting outside the courtyard gate.
"I'm here to propose marriage. It's time for candy."
"The betrothal gifts have been paid, and it's time for candy."
Li Lanzhen, Han Minghai and Han Mingjiang came out together to welcome Xue Laohu and his family in.
Following Xue Laohu's family were Han Zhaoxiong, Han Youliang, Han Youtian and a few others.
They all carried baskets covered with red cloth and filled with something unknown.
As soon as Mrs. Wu entered the room, she laughed and shouted loudly.
"We are here to propose marriage and to ask for your daughter Han Yuemei to be my daughter-in-law."
Her voice made both adults and children laugh.
They were let into the main room, and three shoulder poles were carried in and placed in front of the table.
Wu lifted the red cloth on the basket and sang the betrothal gifts one by one.
"A pair of large white geese, two kilograms of brown sugar, one kilogram of white sugar, and two kilograms of maltose.
A wild boar, a pair of ducks and a pair of rabbits.
10 jin of white flour and 5 jin of white rice
......"
Li Lanzhen saw them and bought two sets of clothes for Han Yuemei.
One set of summer clothes and one set of autumn clothes. The autumn clothes are padded jackets, and the colors are all bright colors that girls like, and they are all skirts.
A solid silver bracelet, a plum blossom silver hairpin, a pair of plum blossom earrings, and a silver chain with a plum blossom pendant.
Li Lanzhen clicked her tongue in her heart, it seemed that they really liked their daughter and treated her well sincerely, which could be seen from the care and thought put into the jewelry they bought for her.
That’s good. Han Yuemei won’t suffer anymore after marrying him.
However, I, Li Lanzhen's daughter, cannot tolerate being wronged by her husband's family.
Just come home and repair your husband!
Li Lanzhen thought domineeringly in her heart, looking at the rich betrothal gifts they brought.
He asked Han Mingxiang to get the gift he had prepared for Xue Bao.
Han Minghai also carried a load over, and the two baskets were also covered with red cloth.
This is a return gift to Xue Lao Hu and others.
Li Lanzhen took the small bag from Han Mingxiang.
Looking at Xue Bao, "Xue Bao, from now on, you are half my son. This is my gift to you."
As she spoke, she opened the bag and took out a dagger with a scabbard.
The scabbard is beautifully crafted and inlaid with blue gems.
Li Lanzhen also prepared two sets of clothes for him, one set was a blue cotton shorts, the other set was a black tights, a pair of black boots, and a pair of white cotton socks sewn by Han Yuemei herself.
Li Lanzhen took out a black box from her bag and took out a green jade hairpin from it.
When Mrs. Wu and Xue Laohu saw that Li Lanzhen gave their son such an expensive gift, the smiles in their eyes became even bigger.
"Xue Bao, come here, these are for you, take them all."
Li Lanzhen showed everyone the gifts her family had prepared, and then gave the bundle to Xue Bao.
Ever since Xue Bao saw the dagger, his eyes have been burning like fire, almost burning the dagger.
Li Lanzhen knew from the look in Xue Bao's eyes that he must like it.
These were all found in the space.
There are more than a dozen daggers like this, but they are of different colors, patterns and sizes.
She thought she could take it slow and leave a handful for each of her sons and grandsons.
Xue Lao Hu and Wu knew that Li Lanzhen took a fancy to Xue Bao and really liked him sincerely.
There is no reason to be unhappy when your child is liked by your in-laws.
Wu took advantage of the situation and asked, "Sister-in-law Lan Zhen, when are we going to hold a wedding banquet for the two children?"
Li Lanzhen didn't expect that they would come to ask her when her two children would get married.
After a pause, he said, "Ah, getting married?"
After thinking about it, Han Yuemei is only 16 years old this year, and Xue Bao is 18 years old.
Getting married too early and getting pregnant and having children too early can cause great harm to girls' bodies.
"My dear relatives, Yuemei is only 16 years old this year.
We have proposed the marriage this year, and we will host a wedding ceremony for them next autumn. What do you think?"
What else can be done!
Of course, both Mrs. Wu and Xue Lao Hu were thinking about marrying their daughter-in-law this year.
Not to mention Xue Bao, who was like a cat's claw in his heart. He wanted to marry Han Yuemei as soon as possible and make her his wife, and take her wherever he went.
But when Li Lanzhen said this, they all smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, next fall our two families will hold a wedding banquet for the children."
During this period, the two teachers in the school were very strict in managing all the children.
As soon as this was over, the children ran towards the school.
The children who were selected by Master Xu to take the scientific examination in April are also very self-disciplined.
In addition to completing the books and words that the teacher asked them to memorize and write every day, they also added additional academic tasks to their own.
Han Mingxiang has worked harder during this period.
Ever since they had lived in Peach Blossom Land and had been eating together in the big cafeteria, Li Lanzhen had always been able to find time every day to secretly add the spiritual spring water from the space into the big water tank in the cafeteria.
However, sometimes I am too busy or I am out and end up missing out on meals at Linglin Spring Water.
During this period, she tried to add spiritual spring water to the large water tank three times a day.
Seeing how hard the children were working, Li Lanzhen just wanted to help them gain some spiritual energy.
Every night, she would cook a pot of red dates and millet porridge in her kitchen.
Then, they packed the food into bowls and sent them to Han Mingxiang's yard.
After the Chinese New Year, Han Yinan, Zheng Sanwang, Han Qingfeng, Su Chen, and Han Tongde all lived in Han Mingxiang's yard.
So we enjoy the midnight snack together every night.
The children didn't understand why, but they all felt that after drinking the rice porridge sent by Li Lanzhen every night, they felt refreshed, their minds were clear and their memory was especially good.
Lu Boyan is going to take part in the provincial examination and become a juren.
However, Master Xu's advice to him was to prepare more carefully, not to take the special examination in April, but to directly take part in this year's regular autumn examination.
At that time, he had a greater chance of passing the imperial examination.
Lu Boyan readily accepted Master Xu's suggestion.
He knew that he had been entangled in family affairs for more than a year and had not studied hard.
After Man Niang found out, she felt very guilty and thought it was her fault that Lu Boyan was delayed.
Tingyu comforted her, "Mom, how can it be your fault! It's all because of that old witch!
Humph! Dad, you better prepare well and win the autumn exam in one fell swoop."
The couple watched their daughter wave her hand and clench her fist decisively, and both laughed.
