They plan to go down the mountain first thing tomorrow morning, and they asked me to help them give a gift.
After saying that, she handed two one-cent coins to Huang Dani.
Then he continued, "Before he left, he wanted to arrange a marriage with Xiaoyu, and he even brought the betrothal gifts and dowry with him."
I think you all watched Little Fish grow up, and I'd like you to help witness it.
Chi Erxiong, who was already a bit tipsy, perked up considerably after hearing the words "Xiaoyu," "engagement," and "betrothal."
Even worse, he staggered to his feet and, with a lisp, said to Huang Dani:
"Wife, go and get me something to sober me up. I need to go check on Xiaoyu."
Huang Dani was preoccupied with her son's wedding the next day, but when she heard her sister-in-law's words, she was instantly jolted awake.
"Proposing marriage today? So late?"
After saying this, without waiting for a reply, he hurriedly went into the kitchen to fetch the hangover soup.
Fortunately, she had the foresight to anticipate that someone would get drunk on her son's wedding day, so she bought hangover remedies in advance down the mountain.
Fortunately, she had started making the hangover soup early after finishing dinner.
Now that it's served, everyone can enjoy it and sober up.
Otherwise, what would it look like if everyone got drunk when Xiaoyu got engaged?
Chi Yu, Qin Mu, and Shen Kai didn't wait long at home before a large group of prominent figures from Chijia'ao arrived.
Not only Chi Dongyi and his group came, but even the eldest, Uncle Chi San, came.
Chi Qiao arrived ahead of everyone with her two sisters-in-law. The three of them opened the main room, lit the kang (heated brick bed), and then brewed hot tea.
Once everything was ready, the older generation of the Chi family entered the main room one after another.
Qin Mu was carrying a heavy armor and a package in his hand.
After everyone had arrived, some sitting and some standing, he said in front of them:
"Esteemed elders of Chijia'ao, I, Qin Mu, have long admired Miss Chi Yu and know that she does not dislike me. Therefore, I have come here to propose marriage."
The situation outside is not good right now. Apart from Anping County, many people in other places have died.
The number of people who died in this disaster in our entire Jianzhou Prefecture is at least several times that of previous years.
The death rate among the people of Jianzhou Prefecture was the lowest among the three surrounding prefectures.
During this period, the number of civilians who died in the entire Great Chu Kingdom was the highest in previous years.
If an earthquake were to occur, even more people would die.
For the sake of the future generations of the Great Chu Kingdom, His Majesty will surely encourage men and women of marriageable age to get married and have children.
In this way, Miss Chiyu and I were also among them.
I admire her and don't want her to blindly marry someone like Scholar Qi, so I shamelessly proposed marriage.
This is the gift I'm offering to propose marriage.
After saying that, he opened the bundle again in front of everyone.
Inside were three large brocade boxes and one small brocade box.
As the three large brocade boxes were opened, a set of head coverings was revealed.
The small brocade box contained silver notes.
"Here are three sets of headdresses, one gold and one silver. I won't go into their value."
The style is a new style from Jianzhou Prefecture.
The reason the silver note was worth two hundred taels was because it was divided as follows: One hundred and eighty-eight taels was the betrothal money I gave to Miss Xiaoyu.
Twelve taels of silver was the money used to prepare gifts for the marriage proposal.
Since it's inconvenient now, I've converted everything into silver.
I know I didn't bring an ice man (a symbol of love), and I came here somewhat hastily, but I'm sincerely proposing marriage.
I hope my eldest, second, and third brothers will be willing to give me Xiaoyu in marriage. I also hope that all the elders will be my witnesses.
