Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Why else?" Liu Tou glared at Hu Han and said, "My Sanniang is already seventeen, and she used to have a good family background. Naturally, there are many matchmakers. I heard Lao Wang say that Sanniang was in the Tang Dynasty.  We have already decided on a marriage, so don¡¯t think about it anymore!¡±

    The news that Sanniang was engaged was like a bolt from the blue to Hu Han, making him freeze on the spot and all his enthusiasm turned into ice water.  (Literature Hall) In fact, this is not surprising. In fact, based on Sanniang's family background and appearance, Hu Han should have thought of this a long time ago. Unfortunately, he was only thinking about Sanniang and did not think about it at all.

    Seeing Hu Han's devastated look, Zhugan was secretly thankful. Fortunately, he was already married, so he didn't have any thoughts about Sanniang, otherwise he would have had the same reaction as Hu Han.  Li Zhi patted Hu Han on the shoulder sympathetically. This should be called fate but no fate.

    At this moment, Lao Wang held two jars of old wine in his hands, then sat at the table and removed the sealing mud on the wine jars and said: "Come on, come on, I'll fill it for everyone. This is the authentic Five Kings wine that has been stored for several years."  Zui, I had to ask a lot of people to get it in the first place, and I have been reluctant to drink it, so everyone should try it!"

    When Liu Tou and the others heard that there was good wine to drink, their eyes lit up, but Hu Han still looked gloomy. Originally, he came here full of joy, but after hearing such unfortunate news, his mood was not much better.  , but Lao Wang was just happy and didn't notice Hu Han's abnormality.

    Li Zhi picked up the wine bowl and tasted it, and found that it was indeed aged Wu Wang Zui. It had been stored for about seven to eight years. You must know that it has only been nine years since Li Min brewed Wu Wang Zui. Therefore,  It is already very rare for Lao Wang to be able to hold out seven or eight years of Five Kings Zui.

    There is such good wine.  The dishes were also very rich, and Lao Wang frequently encouraged people to drink, so Liu Tou and Li Zhi were very happy.  Hu Han was in a bad mood, and finally drank to drown his sorrows. The glass was almost empty, and Liu Tou was so angry that he kicked him twice under the table, but unfortunately Hu Han did not respond.

    "Dad, you and Uncle Liu, please don't drink too much. This is the sweet soup made by your daughter. Let's have a drink!" At this moment, Sanniang came in with a small basin of sweet soup in hand and said.  The sweet soup is made from several fruits and contains honey, which can be used to relieve hangover.

    "Okay, Sanniang is considerate. Liu Tou and some of the younger brothers are here to try Sanniang's craftsmanship!" Old Wang's old face was red, and he stood up unsteadily and said that he alone wanted to persuade Li Zhi and the others.  I drank a lot personally, and of course I drank a lot, and now I¡¯m a little drunk.

    But since Sanniang came in, Hu Han was still staring at him, with a sadness in his reddish eyes.  Coupled with Jiu Jin's appointment, Hu Han's eyes became redder and redder, and finally tears came out, if not for the last trace of reason.  He was probably lying on the table crying.  Fortunately, Lao Wang was too drunk and didn't pay much attention.

    However, when Liu Tou saw Hu Han's hopeless look, he was very angry, in order to completely dispel Hu Han's thoughts.  Finally, he just took advantage of the wine and said: "Old Wang, I think Sanniang is already a grown-up. And she has been engaged for a long time. I wonder when the other party will marry Sanniang?"

    According to Liu Tou's estimation, the three niangs were all 16 or 17 years old. Although late marriage is advocated in Taiwan, it is not mandatory. Although ordinary girls will get married later than girls in the Tang Dynasty, they will not be older than 18.  Therefore, Sanniang should get married within this year.  And as long as Hu Han hears that Sanniang is getting married soon, he will probably stop thinking about it.

    But what Liu Tou didn't expect was that when Lao Wang heard about Sanniang's marriage, his face darkened, he patted the table angrily and said, "Hey~, don't mention it, Sanniang has already promised to my fellow countryman.  The Liu family is a daughter-in-law. The Liu family came to Taiwan half a year before us. They caught up with the good times and took out a loan to open a restaurant and made a fortune. They are now considered rich. But after the boy from the Liu family got rich, he saw  The world has grown up, and I am very dissatisfied with Sanniang's marriage. In the end, he persuaded his parents to break off the engagement. I agreed in a fit of anger, so Sanniang still doesn't have an in-law, so this has become a piece of mine.  I¡¯m sick of my heart!¡±

    What Lao Wang said was heartbreaking. Sanniang wiped her tears and went out when she heard this, but Hu Han was very happy when he heard it. Liu Tou and Li Zhi all looked at Hu Han with strange eyes, thinking that this kid  My luck is so good. I fell in love with a girl who was engaged, but I didn't expect that her husband's family broke off the engagement. This is a match made in heaven!

    However, Liu Tou then asked again: "Lao Wang, this is your fault. Whether it is the laws of the Tang Dynasty or Taiwan, there are clear provisions. If you withdraw from a marriage without reason, you will be punished. And if one party is determined  If you don¡¯t agree, you still have to get married, why don¡¯t you go to the government and rely on them?¡±

    After hearing this, Lao Wang waved his hand and said: "Forget it, no matter what?The father of the boy from the Liu family and I are from the same hometown, and we went through hardships together in the beginning, and he still knelt in front of me and begged to break off the engagement. I didn't want the two families to turn against each other and become unhappy. Besides, since the boy from the Liu family looked down on Sanniang,  Even if she is forced into marriage, she will still suffer in the end, so she might as well just let it go!  "

    Liu Tou felt it made sense when he heard it, and in the end he could only shake his head helplessly, and then comforted Lao Wang a few words, while Li Zhi and the others scolded the Liu family, saying that they were blind-sighted.  While scolding the Liu family, Hu Han was secretly happy in his heart. At the same time, he had the courage to touch Liu's head with his shoulder, his eyes full of pleading.

    Liu Tou also felt that Hu Han was really destined to Sanniang, so after thinking about it, he said to Lao Wang again: "Lao Wang, I feel sad when I look at this girl Sanniang. The one named Liu has no vision, but we can't treat her like that."  My daughter's marriage has been delayed. Tell me what kind of son-in-law you want to find. Let me help you keep an eye on it. Maybe we can make a good marriage?"

    Lao Wang also knew that Liu Tou had a wide range of people, so when he heard that the other party was willing to help Sanniang keep an eye on him, he was overjoyed and said: "Actually, I don't have any requirements. As long as the other party is about the same age as Sanniang and doesn't have any bad habits, of course in the end  The most important thing is that Sanniang is willing, there is nothing else to say."

    Hearing Lao Wang's request, Hu Han wanted to stand up and beg Lao Wang to give Sanniang to him. However, as soon as he moved, Liu Tou stared back, and then he saw Liu Tou smiling.  He said to Lao Wang: "Olao Wang, your requirements are too low. You can't catch a lot of such sons-in-law. If nothing else, what do you think of this guy Hu Han?"

    Lao Wang was stunned when he heard this. He probably didn¡¯t expect Liu Tou to propose marriage on the spot.  It took him a moment to react, and he turned to look at Hu Han.  In fact, he had a good impression of Hu Han, because Hu Han was the first to make a move that night. This shows that the young man has a chivalrous heart and his character must be fine. But now Hu Han is just an ordinary worker. He  I am worried that if my daughter marries the other party, she will suffer hardships like Hu Han.

    Liu Tou is a good person. After seeing Lao Wang's expression, he immediately understood what he was worried about. He immediately smiled and said: "Old Wang, you don't know, Hu Han is the smartest one among the boys under me.  , now he has completed the literacy courses arranged by the factory, and is willing to work hard in daily work. The factory is already preparing to arrange for him to study at the Navigation Academy. You also know the Nautical Academy, as long as he graduates from the academy, major shipyards  They are all rushing to get the minimum monthly salary of dozens of silver coins, so I will definitely not treat Sanniang badly."

    When Lao Wang heard that Hu Han was going to the Navigation Academy, he immediately dispelled his doubts. His restaurant was surrounded by shipyards, and he naturally knew that the graduates from the Navigation Academy were all highly sought-after talents, and they were also respected. If his daughter were to marry him,  There is also face.

    Seeing that Lao Wang remained silent, Hu Han couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and walked to Lao Wang, then knelt down and said: "Uncle Wang, don't worry. Although I, Hu Han, don't have much money now, I swear  , I will definitely let Sanniang live a good life with me, and I will never let her suffer any injustice!"

    Seeing that Hu Han expressed this, Lao Wang immediately changed his expression to a kind one and said: "Hu Han, I saw you were the first one to rush up to help me and Sanniang that day, so I knew you were a good young man, so I said  I am assured of your character, and I have no objection to you wanting to marry Sanniang, but I still need to discuss it with Sanniang to see what she means."

    These days, children's marriages are all subject to the orders of their parents, so when Liu Tou heard that Lao Wang wanted to discuss with Sanniang, he thought it was Lao Wang's excuse, so he said with some displeasure: "Old Wang, Sanniang  Aren¡¯t you the one who has the final say on my marriage? Why are you discussing it with Sanniang?¡±

    Lao Wang smiled bitterly and said: "Liu Tou doesn't know. It was my idea to get engaged to the Liu family. Later, the Liu family broke off the engagement and the old lady blamed me. So now I don't dare to make the final decision on Sanniang's marriage. It's up to her."  What do you mean, Sanniang and Hu Han have met before anyway."

    After Lao Wang finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Liu Tou and the others, and then went to discuss with Sanniang. Hu Han, who stayed behind, was uneasy, as if he was a prisoner waiting to be sentenced in the Yamen.

    After a while, Lao Wang turned around from the backyard and said with a smile on his face: "Liu Tou, Hu Han, I just discussed it with Sanniang. Sanniang didn't say she disagreed, but she felt  I have only known Hu Han for a short time, and I don¡¯t know much about his character, so if you are free in the future, Hu Han, come and sit at home and chat with Sanniang. We are all from poor families.  There are not so many rules, as long as Sanniang thinks you are good, then we will get engaged!"

    "ThankThank you, Uncle Wang!" Hearing Lao Wang's words, Hu Han was so excited that he even stuttered a little. Liu Tou and the others also came up to congratulate them. Although the marriage has not been finalized yet, Sanniang  Everyone is willing to contact Hu HanYes, it shows that Sanniang has a good impression of Hu Han, and based on their understanding of Hu Han, this guy's character is indeed good, so there should be no problem with this marriage.

    Li Zhi watched a marriage being decided in front of him. He was also infected by Hu Han's joy. This kind of joy was something he had never experienced before. It was at this time that he suddenly understood that Sixth Brother had arranged for him to enter.  The real reason for the factory.
