Chapter 436: Chapter 439 Call Me Sister_1
I guess only someone as wise and unmatched as Lord Qin could tame her.
Chen Yiling puckered her lips, "I’ll give you one more chance. I’ll ask you a question, and if your answer satisfies me, I’ll tell you who that matchmaker is."
Sun Erhu nodded vigorously, "Please ask, Lady Qin."
"Am I prettier, or is Duo’er prettier?"
Sun Erhu glanced at the two women sitting next to him, downed a cup of alcohol fiercely before he honestly said, "Both are beautiful."
"You can only choose one." Chen Yiling was unrelenting.
Her hand was clenched on her own clothes, otherwise she feared she would burst into laughter.
"This... this is hard to compare, you are different types. Just like you can’t compare different flowers." Sun Erhu said sheepishly.
No matter how he answered the question, he would offend the other person. Could he not answer?
"Then why is the peony the king of flowers?"
Sun Erhu was once again at a loss for words and could only rely on drinking to cover up his embarrassment.
If he really had to choose one, it would definitely be his sister-in-law; not because of her face, but because her dignified aura surpassed the other by far.
Bai Yifan spoke elegantly, "Yi Ling, stop giving him a hard time. If it were up to me, I’d say he has to drink three cups as penalty."
Sun Erhu was extremely grateful. Drinking was much simpler than speaking.
After three cups, Sun Erhu’s face was slightly flushed, "Lady Qin, can you tell me now?"
"First, call me ’sister’ and let me hear it." Chen Yiling raised her eyebrows.
For the sake of successfully marrying Chao Lian, he steeled his heart and called out, "Hello, sister, now will you tell me?"
Chen Yiling nodded with approval, "That’s more like it. Go to Xiping Street and look for Granny Li, say that you were sent by the Lady of the County; she definitely won’t refuse."
"Thank you, sister. I’ll toast to you." Sun Erhu said joyfully. 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
Chen Yiling lifted her cup, "Good brother, don’t forget to invite me to your wedding banquet."
"Of course. I’ll also give you a big red envelope," Sun Erhu promised, patting his chest.
Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but ask, "Do I get one too? If it weren’t for me letting you two sell marinated meat together, how could your relationship have progressed so rapidly?"
"You’ll get an even bigger one if you help me propose," Sun Erhu said confidently.
The proposal should be made by the male’s parents, but since his had passed away early and he was not close to other relatives, he could only trouble Brother Hong and his sister-in-law.
There’s truth in the saying ’elder brothers are like fathers, elder sisters-in-law are like mothers,’ and now was the time to count on them!
Sun Erhu was in high spirits and, unable to control himself, drank too much.
"You guys keep drinking, I’ll take a nap and then join you again," Sun Erhu said, wiping his reddened face.
Chen Yiling nudged Sun Erhu, "Are you drunk already? Don’t sleep now; you still have to go find Granny Li."
"Yes, I’ll go,"
Sun Erhu slurred a response, then collapsed softly onto the table.
Chen Yiling curled her lips, "Go to your dreams, and find Granny Li there!"
"I’ll go in my dreams, Granny Li, Granny Li..." Sun Erhu muttered; he really wanted to go, but he was so drunk he was like a lump of mud and couldn’t even speak clearly.
Everyone was both amused and exasperated. How could Sun Erhu be so funny?
Sun Erhu knew none of this because he had deeply fallen asleep.
After dinner, it was Tan Zhenghong who carried Sun Erhu onto the ox cart. Halfway through, the cart hit a bump and Sun Erhu tumbled out.
Tan Zhenghong and Qiao Duo’er quickly got down to check on him. Thankfully, Sun Erhu was tough and could take a fall.
This time Tan Zhenghong placed Sun Erhu in the middle of the cart to prevent him from rolling off again.
